On this episode of Our American Stories, the founding of the United States didn’t happen in a moment—it unfolded across one of the most difficult years in American history. The late-great historian and author of 1776, David McCullough, shares the story of how a fragile army, led by an untested commander, struggled to hold the cause together against overwhelming odds. Between Boston and New York, the future of the Revolution was shaped not by grand strategy or stirring speeches, but by exhaustion, retreat, and the lingering question of whether any of it would hold.
