SOA02-The Shot Heard Round the World - The Story of America

🎬 Episode 2: The Shot Heard Round the World
Presented by The White House | The Story of America


What ignited the American Revolution wasn’t just a shot—it was a message. One that echoed across generations and still speaks to us today.


In this stirring second episode, Dr. Wilfred McClay of Hillsdale College brings to life the dramatic events of April 19, 1775. From Paul Revere’s legendary midnight ride to the first deadly clash between British Redcoats and American Minutemen, Lexington and Concord marked more than a military skirmish—it was a spiritual awakening.


🇺🇸 Why did the Patriots hold their fire until the last moment?
📜 How did one poem turn Paul Revere into a national symbol?
🔥 And what does that fateful day still teach us about courage, unity, and resolve?


This is more than a history lesson. It’s a call to remembrance—and a challenge to carry forward the legacy of those who stood on the village green and changed the world.


📖 Watch now. Reclaim the memory.
Because what was done before… can be done again.
