The war that we now call the American Revolution was not only fought in the colonies by soldiers with muskets and bayonets. On both sides of the Atlantic, artists also played an integral role in forging revolutionary ideals.

Discover the intertwined lives of three forgotten artists: Robrt Edge Pine, Prince Demah, and Patience Wright. They defied the British monarchy, armed with paint, canvas, activism, and espionage, while risking their lives and reputations to declare independence.
