|  | George Washington: Founding Father DVD He was a gentleman farmer from Virginia, a brilliant and bold tactician who proved equally adept at leading men into battle and a young nation into the future. From his youth of privilege to his inauguration as the nation's first president, here is George Washington's remarkable life. Exploring the truths, exploding the myths, it's the portrait of a man who first distinguished himself in the British forces, before creating the army that would ultimately defeat them. His was the pivotal role in establishing the modern world's first nation with neither a king nor an emperor. This is a stirring look at the American hero who remains -- in the words of Henry Lee -- "First in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen." |
|  | Thomas Jefferson: Philosopher Of Freedom DVD
Statesman, scientist, architect, president he was America's dashing Renaissance man; but his personal affairs suggest a life that was anything but perfect. Thomas Jefferson was one of the first great thinkers of the fledgling United States. As a member of the Continental Congress, he drafted the Declaration of Independence. As president he fought tirelessly for free speech and U.S. expansion. As a gentleman farmer he studied botany, meteorology, and designed the magnificent neo-classic Monticello. But outside the stuffy rigors of public life, Jefferson was a different man. Did he really father several illegitimate children by his slave, Sally Hemmings? Was he involved in a messy affair while serving as Minister to France? Why did he die with debts of over $100,000? Put aside the textbook tales for a candid look at the unpredictable life of one of our nation's greatest leaders. |

He is remembered for seven words: "Give me liberty of give me death." More than any other founding father he represented the power of the ordinary citizens of the new nation. Patrick Henry rose from simple roots to mingle with the colonial aristocracy, helping blaze the trail to freedom alongside Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. While others led men through the influence of position, wealth, and education, Henry staked his claim on the power of his voice. He was, without a doubt, the greatest orator of his age. BIOGRAPHY. tells his story through expert commentary, period accounts and artifacts, and revealing excerpts from Henry's speeches and writings. Discover how the speaker balanced his rhetoric with a keen political sense, and how he never wavered in his defense of individual liberty, fearing that the Constitution paved the way for domination by a central government. Fiery, outspoken, yet personally prudent, Patrick Henry was the first voice of the American people, the pied piper of liberty. |
