Episode Detail: New York, New York - Liberty's Kids

It's late summer 1776, and Washington's troops are faring poorly in New York (they lose the Battle of Long Island in August and New York City in September). So Washington changes tactics. Meanwhile, Sarah (voice of Reo Jones) hears the Loyalist side of the story from a friend of her mother's. Voice of Franklin: Walter Cronkite.
