SOA06- A King’s Call to Arms - The Story of America

A King’s Call to Arms
In the cold halls of Westminster Palace, the echo of a golden scepter meets the silence of an empire on the brink. It is 1776—King George III summons Parliament to war against his own subjects. What unfolds is not merely a royal decree, but the final fracture of an old world order.


This episode of The Story of America takes you inside the fateful moment when divine monarchy confronted the birth of self-government. Through the clash of ideals—sovereign right versus the consent of the governed—we witness how a single sentence, “All men are created equal,” became a revolution in human thought.


From the slam of Parliament’s doors to the cry for liberty across the Atlantic, A King’s Call to Arms reveals how pride, principle, and providence shaped the dawn of a new nation.
