Part I
JOIN OR DIE
In the aftermath of the boston Massacre, John Adams takes an unpopular stand by agreeing to serve as defense attorney for the accused British soldiers. Counseled in his summation by his beloved wife Abigail, Adams wins the case - but surprises the British by turning down a lucrative position with the Crown, and instead considers joining the newly created Continental Congress. After a rousing speech to his constituents, he bids an emotional goodbye to his family before heading to Philadelphia - and an uncertain future.
PART II
INDEPENDENCE
In the wake of the bloody siege of Lexington and Concord, Adams debates the pros and cons of independence with his fellow delegates, and nominates George Washington to lead a newly created Continental Army. After a proclamation from King George III arrives, stating that treason will be met with death, Adams seconds a resolution for independence and persuades Thomas Jefferson to draft a declaration. On July 2, 1776, a final vote confirms the Congress' near-unanimous decision to form an independent nation. |
