November 15, 2023 The Camden Burials Project | Episode 9
In the fall of 2022, archeologists and forensic anthropologists undertook a rare project to excavate the graves of a limited number of soldiers who fell in the Battle of Camden on August 16, 1780. The graves had been harmed by years of industry and had been targeted by relic hunters. Leaders of the Camden Burials Project made the difficult choice to remove the remains of the soldiers and rebury them to keep them safe and secure. Little did the leaders know, they were in for several surprises along the way.

November 08, 2023 A New Nation | Episode 8
As the summer of 1781 fades, the British high command chooses to establish a supply base at Yorktown, Virginia. With the main force of the British southern army in Virginia, the American southern army reestablishes control of nearly all of South Carolina and Georgia. At the same time, American Commander-In-Chief George Washington, and his French allies, recognize an opportunity. They rush the American main army to Virginia in a winner-take-all gamble to win the war. The Americans emerge victorious after the siege of Yorktown, and they turn the dream of a new nation into a reality.

A new American commander arrives in the South to lead the reconstructed Continental army. But as the bulk of the southern army regroups and plans a new strategy, a force of rugged frontiersmen from the Appalachian Mountains win a stunning victory. The Battle of Kings Mountain turns the tide of the war, though the combatants will only realize it over the course of time. Meanwhile, in the North, an American military hero, Benedict Arnold, becomes increasingly disenfranchised. He makes a deal with the British and begins a secret campaign to undermine American defenses. When his treachery is discovered, he switches sides and leads British troops in battle against his former countrymen.

October 18, 2023 The Battle of Camden | Episode 5
As the war in the northern colonies turns to a stalemate, it engulfs the southern colonies. The British capture critical port cities in Georgia and South Carolina, and then expand their dominance inland. During the campaign, a small engagement becomes nearly as infamous in American history as the Boston Massacre. Then, in a forest of pine trees north of the small town of Camden, South Carolina, the American southern army meets the British southern army for the first time. The battle is vicious, and devastating for the Americans. But it leads to a new phase of the war, one in which the Americans see a pathway to victory.

A Virginian named George Washington becomes Commander-In-Chief of the new Continental Army.
