Narrator: TODAY ON LIBERTY'S KIDS:

Man: COME ON, MEN.

WE HAVE TO CATCH WHOEVER'S HANGING THESE POSTERS.

IF I FIND SO MUCH AS ONE POSTER,

IT'S JAIL FOR THE LOT OF YOU!

"DEAREST MOTHER,

"THEY CALLED IT THE BOSTON TEA PARTY,

"BUT BELIEVE ME,

"THIS IS ONE PARTY I WISH I HAD MISSED.

[MEN YELL]

"THE YANKEES CLAIM

ALL THIS TROUBLE IS OVER TAXES."

WHY ARE YOU DESTROYING THE TEA?

WE'RE PROTESTING UNFAIR TAXATION.

PARLIAMENT RAISED THE TEA TAX

OVER OUR OBJECTIONS.

MAYBE NEXT TIME THEY'LL LISTEN.

"RUFFIANS COWARDLY DISGUISED AS MOHAWK INDIANS

DESTROYED A SHIPMENT OF TEA!"

NO TAXATION

WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!

RED COATS!

ABANDON SHIP! ABANDON SHIP!

SORRY, MISS PHILLIPS,

BUT I CAN'T PRINT MY STORY FROM JAIL.

LET ME GO!

I SAID, "LET ME GO!"

I'D LOVE TO, BUT DR. FRANKLIN

TOLD US TO TAKE CARE OF YOU.

JAMES, LOOK OUT!

Sarah: "IN A STRUGGLE, I LOST FATHER'S LOCKET.

"I'M VERY ANGRY.

"AMERICA IS A STRANGE, STRANGE PLACE.

"I CAN'T SAY THAT I LIKE WHAT I'VE SEEN OF IT.

"WE LIVE IN A BARN,

"HIDING FROM HIS MAJESTY'S SOLDIERS,

"SHELTERED BY A REMARKABLE WOMAN,

"A POET AND SLAVE NAMED PHYLLIS WHEATLEY."

"JAMES, HENRI, AND MOSES SUPPORT THESE RADICALS,

BUT I FOR ONE CAN'T WAIT TO LEAVE BOSTON."

WHOA! OK, OK.

I'M SORRY, CAESAR.

I WON'T BRUSH SO HARD.

HEY!

ALLOW ME. UH!

"WHEN IS DR. FRANKLIN COMING?

"SOON, I HOPE. VERY SOON.

"YOUR LOYAL, LOVING DAUGHTER,

SARAH."

UH...UH...UH...

James: HOW MANY DO YOU SEE, HENRI?

UN, DEUX, TRIOS, QUATRE, CINQ...

ENGLISH, HENRI, NOT FRENCH.

I'M COUNTING THE ENGLISH--WHOA!

HOW MANY ARE THERE NOW?

TOO MANY.

THERE MUSTN'T BE A SOLDIER LEFT IN ENGLAND!

WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

"WHAT SHOULD WE DO?"

THE BRITISH ARE OCCUPYING BOSTON!

I'VE GOT TO GET THIS TO THE GAZETTE RIGHT AWAY!

COME ON, HENRI!

[CHATTER]

Man: DO YOU REALLY THINK HE'S A TRAITOR?

ON THE EVENING OF 16 DECEMBER,

THE YEAR OF OUR LORD, 1773,

COWARDLY BANDITS DISGUISED AS INDIANS

ATTACKED THE DARTMOUTH,

A SHIP FLYING THE COLORS

OF HIS MAJESTY KING GEORGE III.

AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE

FOR INFLAMING THE SUBJECTS OF BOSTON

TO THIS VIOLENCE?

NONE OTHER THAN THE MAN BEFORE US,

THE ESTEEMED BENJAMIN FRANKLIN!

[GASPS]

HIS CRIMES ARE ENORMOUS!

THE EAST INDIA COMPANY

LOST HUNDREDS OF CRATES OF TEA,

WORTH MANY THOUSANDS OF POUNDS.

THIS LAWLESSNESS WAS ENCOURAGED

BY DR. FRANKLIN

IN HIS SPEECHES AND WRITINGS.

HIS INFLAMMATORY PAPER,

THE PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE,

CONTINUES TO FOMENT SEDITION, REBELLION,

VIOLENCE, TREASON!

[GASPS]

YOU HAVE NO HONOR, SIR!

YOU ARE A SCOUNDREL, SIR!

HAVE YOU NOTHING TO SAY FOR YOURSELF?

THE HEART OF A FOOL IS IN HIS MOUTH,

BUT THE MOUTH OF A WISE MAN

IS IN HIS HEART.

AHH, THE FAMOUS FRANKLIN WIT.

PERHAPS I NEED TO REMIND YOU

A ROPE IS THE PROPER REWARD FOR TREASON.

[GASPS]

BOSTON HARBOR IS CLOSED!

HUNDREDS OF NEW SOLDIERS

ARRIVED BY SHIP THIS MORNING.

THE WHOLE CITY

IS FILLED WITH RED COATS.

AAH!

WOULD YOU PLEASE MIND YOUR TONGUE?

WHERE'S MY PENCIL? I HAVE A STORY TO WRITE.

THIS IS HEADLINE NEWS!

AHEM! JAMES...

THOSE FILTHY RED COATS ARE EVERYWHERE!

THAT'S RIGHT, JAMES.

AFTER THAT LONG SEA VOYAGE,

THESE LOVELY RED COATS

COULD USE A GOOD CLEANING.

[GASPS]

THIS MAY NEED SOME SOAP AND WATER.

LET ME HELP YOU, MISS PHILLIPS.

FINE MORNING, ISN'T IT?

'TIS YOU WHO COULD USE THE SOAP AND WATER--

IN THAT SMART MOUTH OF YOURS.

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

YOU'LL HAVE TO FORGIVE MY MANNERS.

I'M AN ORPHAN.

I WAS RAISED ON THE STREETS

AND SOMETIMES FORGET MY PLACE.

WHERE'S THAT GRUB WE WAS PROMISED?

I'LL CHECK ON IT RIGHT AWAY, SIR.

WHY DON'T YOU

COME GIVE ME A HAND IN THE KITCHEN?

THE KITCHEN? THAT'S WOMAN'S WORK.

HEY!

THE KITCHEN. OF COURSE.

IT WOULD BE AN HONOR TO HELP, MY LADY.

WHAT ARE RED COATS DOING IN THE BARN?

IT'S CALLED "QUARTERING."

A SOLDIER JUST KNOCKS ON YOUR DOOR,

ANYTIME DAY OR NIGHT,

AND MOVES INTO YOUR HOUSE.

WE HAVE 5 MORE UPSTAIRS.

I CAN'T BELIEVE KING GEORGE WOULD ALLOW THAT.

IT WAS PARLIAMENT'S DOING.

THEY CALL IT "THE COERCIVE ACTS."

THE "INTOLERABLE ACTS" WOULD BE MORE LIKE IT.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.

Phillis: THAT'S RIGHT.

WE HAVE TO COOK FOR THEM, WASH THEIR CLOTHES,

AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY A SINGLE SHILLING.

I AM OUTRAGED, TOO!

THIS PIE WAS TOO SMALL!

YOU THE FUNNY ONE, AREN'T YOU?

HOW DID YOU COME TO BE IN THE COLONIES?

I CAME HERE WITH MY PARENTS.

HENRI WAS 6 YEARS OLD

WHEN HE LEFT FRANCE WITH HIS PARENTS.

THEY SIGNED AN AGREEMENT WITH THE SHIP'S CAPTAIN

TO WORK FOR 7 YEARS

IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR PASSAGE.

THREE WEEKS INTO THE JOURNEY,

THE PLAGUE HIT THE SHIP,

AND HALF THE PEOPLE ON BOARD DIED,

INCLUDING HENRI'S PARENTS.

THE CAPTAIN MADE ME HIS CABIN BOY.

HE SAID I HAD TO PAY OFF MY FAMILY'S PASSAGE.

OH, I WORKED ALL THE TIME.

CLEANING HIS ROOM, GETTING HIS FOOD,

HIS CLOTHES,

HAULING BUCKETS OF COAL.

AND IF I DID ANYTHING WRONG,

HE THREW ME IN THE HOLD FOR HOURS.

HOW DARE HE!

I BELONGED TO HIM.

YOU MEAN, HE MADE YOU--

A SLAVE.

HENRI, THAT'S TERRIBLE.

THANK HEAVEN YOU'RE HERE NOW.

HOW DID YOU DO IT?

MOSES AND I WENT TO THE DOCK

TO PICK UP PARTS OF A PRINTING PRESS

THAT HAD COME OVER FROM FRANCE.

WE WENT DOWN INTO THE HOLD TO GET THE PARTS.

THERE WAS HENRI,

ON THE FLOOR, BEHIND BARS.

Henri: I THOUGHT THEY CAME TO HURT ME.

James: BUT MOSES GOT HIM OUT

WITH THE HANDLE OF THE PRINTING PRESS.

IT WAS AMAZING.

Moses: IT WAS JUST WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.

BUT HOW DID YOU GET HIM OFF THE SHIP?

James: WE FOUND THE CRATE OF PARTS,

AND MOSES TOOK THE PARTS OUT,

HID THEM UNDER STRAW,

AND PUT HENRI IN INSTEAD.

WE CLOSED THE CRATE

AND CARRIED IT OFF THE SHIP.

RIGHT UNDER THE CAPTAIN'S NOSE?

RIGHT UNDER HIS NOSE.

BUT WE HAD TO WAIT ANOTHER MONTH

TO FIND OTHER PARTS FOR THE PRINTER.

I'M STILL NOT SURE IT WAS A GOOD TRADE.

THEN I WROTE TO DR. FRANKLIN

AND ASKED TO HAVE HENRI WORK IN THE PRINT SHOP

TO PAY FOR HIS ROOM AND BOARD.

DR. FRANKLIN SAID YES,

BUT THEN HE DID SOMETHING VERY BAD.

WHAT?

HE TOLD ME I MUST LEARN

TO READ AND WRITE FRENCH AND ENGLISH!

THE SPEAKING YOU HAVE,

BUT THE READING WE HAVE TO WORK ON.

SEE? "WORK ON."

IT'S WORK!

SPEAKING OF WHICH, I MUST GET BACK TO MY WORK,

OR IT WILL RAISE SUSPICION.

LT. BRAMPTON WAS BY HERE EARLIER

TALKING ABOUT THE TEA PARTY

AND TELLING MASTER WHEATLEY,

"IF BOSTON'S GOING TO CAUSE TROUBLE,

BOSTON'S GOING TO PAY THE PIPER."

THAT ONLY MAKES SENSE.

WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?

I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE SIDES.

WE'RE ALL THE KING'S SUBJECTS.

MAYBE YOU'RE A SUBJECT, BUT I'M A CITIZEN.

I HAVE RIGHTS.

DOESN'T PHILLIS HAVE RIGHTS?

YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS, MISS PHILLIPS?

YOU THINK TOO MUCH FOR A GIRL.

AND YOU TALK TOO MUCH FOR A GENTLEMAN!

PHYLLIS, I NEED A PRINTING PRESS.

I'VE GOT TO GET THE WORD OUT.

JAMES, UNTIL MOSES CAN FIX THE WAGON,

WE'RE STUCK HERE.

THE CITY IS SWARMING WITH SOLDIERS

WHO WOULD LIKE NOTHING BETTER

THAN TO ARREST US FOR YOUR TEA PARTY.

Phillis: TAKE THIS, JAMES.

TOM MALONEY PUBLISHED MY POEMS.

I CAN USE HIS PRESS ANYTIME.

MR. MALONEY?

TOM MALONEY? OPEN UP!

WE'RE FRIENDS OF PHILLIS WHEATLEY!

THERE'S NO ONE IN THERE.

TODAY'S THE SABBATH.

THE LORD'S DAY.

WELL, THE LORD HELPS THOSE

WHO HELP THEMSELVES.

REMEMBER?

PHILLIS GAVE US THE KEY.

LADIES FIRST.

AT LAST, A SIGN OF MANNERS.

[MEN LAUGH]

RED COATS! WE HAVE TO WORK FAST.

[SNORING]

[GASPS]

OH, NO!

WHAT? WHO GOES THERE?

WHERE'D THEM KIDS GO OFF TO?

I'VE BEEN BUSY DOING MY CHORES.

I'M SURE THEY'RE AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.

NIGEL.

BASIL, CHAUNCY,

ON YOUR FEET.

THOSE LITTLE TROUBLEMAKERS

HAVE RUN OFF.

THE CITY IS UNDER MARTIAL LAW.

THEY'RE BREAKING CURFEW.

WE'D BETTER FETCH LT. BRAMPTON.

OH, NO!

I'VE GOT TO WARN THEM.

I'LL BET THEY'RE THE SAME BRATS

WHO GOT AWAY DURING THE TEA RIOT.

BUT THEY WON'T GET AWAY A SECOND TIME!

KEEP GOING, HENRI.

AYE, AYE, SIR!

THE SUN'S SET--GOOD.

IT'S TIME TO SPREAD THE WORD.

WHAT'S WRONG, SARAH?

JAMES, ARE YOU REALLY AN ORPHAN?

I HEARD YOU TELL THE SOLDIERS BEFORE.

IT'S TRUE.

I WAS A TINY BABY WHEN IT HAPPENED.

MOTHER AND FATHER DIDN'T HAVE

ONE OF DR. FRANKLIN'S NEWFANGLED LIGHTNING RODS.

[HORSE NEIGHS]

OUR HOUSE WAS STRUCK AND BURST INTO FLAMES.

IT BURNED TO THE GROUND.

I WAS LUCKY.

A NEIGHBOR PULLED ME OUT IN THE NICK OF TIME.

DR. FRANKLIN'S LIGHTNING ROD

HAS SAVED THOUSANDS OF LIVES.

WHEN I WAS OLD ENOUGH, I SOUGHT HIM OUT.

HE OFFERED TO TAKE ME IN AS AN APPRENTICE,

AND I'VE BEEN WORKING AT THE GAZETTE EVER SINCE.

I'M SORRY FOR COMPLAINING

ABOUT A SILLY LOCKET

WHEN YOU'VE LOST SO MUCH MORE.

THAT LOCKET MEANT A LOT, HUH?

MY FATHER GAVE IT TO ME

BEFORE HE SAILED FOR AMERICA.

WHEN IT WAS AROUND MY NECK,

IT WAS LIKE HAVING HIM NEAR ME--ALWAYS.

HE WENT UP THE OHIO RIVER

TO EXPLORE NEW LANDS.

WHEN HE RETURNS,

MOTHER WILL JOIN US HERE.

BUT WE HAVEN'T HEARD A WORD FROM FATHER IN NEARLY A YEAR.

YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT HIM.

SEE THIS?

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

IT'S MY MOTHER'S RING.

SO, YOU SEE,

I KNOW JUST HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THE LOCKET.

Henri: JAMES, I'M DONE!

GRAB A STACK, HENRI. IT'S TIME TO GO.

MUST YOU DO THIS?

YOU'LL ONLY MAKE THINGS WORSE.

I HAVE TO. WHY?

BECAUSE AS DR. FRANKLIN'S FRIEND EDMUND BURKE SAID,

"AN ENGLISHMAN

"IS THE UNFITTEST PERSON ON EARTH

TO ARGUE ANOTHER ENGLISHMAN INTO SLAVERY."

IN SUMMARY, MY LORDS,

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN,

THE DEPUTY POSTMASTER OF HIS MAJESTY'S COLONIES,

IS A TRAITOR!

THE PROOF IS IN HIS OWN WORDS,

HIS OWN WRITINGS.

[GASPS]

AND FOR THIS TREACHERY,

I ASK THAT AS A MINIMUM

HE BE STRIPPED OF HIS POSITION

AS POSTMASTER

AND THAT HE BEAR THE STIGMA AND SHAME

OF A SCOUNDREL DISLOYAL TO KING AND COUNTRY.

[ANGRY YELLS]

TRAITOR! TRAITOR!

TRAITOR! TRAITOR!

[CLEARS THROAT]

FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART,

I THINK MR. WEDDERBURN

FOR EVERYTHING HE HAS SAID AGAINST ME.

WHAT KIND OF TRICK IS THIS?

Franklin: MY GRATITUDE IS SINCERE.

YOU'VE ANSWERED A QUESTION

WHICH HAS TROUBLED ME SINCE BOYHOOD.

BUT YOU HAVE FINALLY PUT MY MIND AT EASE.

THE QUESTION IS FUNDAMENTAL,

AND WHEN MY FELLOW COLONISTS

ARRIVE AT THE SAME ANSWER AS I,

A GREAT EMPIRE MAY FALL.

MORE TREASON!

MR. WEDDERBURN SAYS I'M A TRAITOR.

BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE.

THE QUESTION HE HAS ANSWERED FOR ME IS THUS:

AM I A BRITISH SUBJECT,

OR AM I THE CITIZEN OF A NEW NATION,

A COUNTRY DISTINCT

AND DIFFERENT FROM ENGLAND?

AND TODAY I DECLARE MY ANSWER.

I AM NOT BRITISH. I AM AN AMERICAN.

[AUDIENCE GASPS]

A MAN CAN ONLY BETRAY HIS OWN COUNTRY.

MY COUNTRY IS NO LONGER ENGLAND.

MY COUNTRY IS AMERICA.

[CHATTER]

LET'S PUT ONE HERE.

[GRUNTS]

Man: HEY, YOU! HALT!

THAT'S AN ORDER!

James: RUN!

WHAT DO WE DO NOW?

WE PRAY MOSES HAS THAT AXLE FIXED.

HENRI, I THINK WE MAY HAVE

OVERSTAYED OUR WELCOME IN BOSTON.

HOW DO WE GET PAST THOSE RED COATS?

FOLLOW ME.

LOOK OUT!

Henri: WHOA!

MUST HAVE FALLEN OFF A CART.

COME ON, MEN!

WE HAVE TO CATCH WHOEVER'S HANGING THESE POSTERS!

Henri: WHOA!

OH. OHH.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, HENRI?

WHICH ONE OF YOU SAID THAT?

JAMES, HENRI, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

Moses: WHOA.

QUICK, WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!

TOO LATE!

EVERYBODY INSIDE!

THE WAGON IS GOOD AS NEW.

WE MUST LEAVE TOWN--

RIGHT NOW, WHILE IT'S STILL DARK.

SO MY MEN AND I

ARE RIDING PAST THIS PRINT SHOP

WHEN I HEAR VOICES COMING FROM INSIDE.

SO I ASK MYSELF,

"WHAT'S SOMEONE DOING IN A PRINT SHOP

AT THIS HOUR ON A SUNDAY?"

YOU KNOW WHAT I TOLD MYSELF?

I SAID, "PRINTING THESE."

Phillis: YOU HAVE THIS ALL WRONG, SIR.

THESE GENTLEMEN

ARE INTERESTED IN MY POETRY.

THEY WANTED TO SEE

WHERE IT WAS PUBLISHED.

POETRY? YOU?

WHAT DO YOU TAKE ME FOR?

SHOW THEM, PHILLIS.

YES, LET'S HEAR THIS

POETRY OF YOURS.

"DESCEND TO EARTH, THERE PLACE THY THRONE;

"TO SUCCOR MAN'S AFFLICTED SON.

"EACH HUMAN HEART INSPIRE:

"TO ACT IN BOUNTIES UNCONFINED.

"ENLARGE THE CLOSE CONTRACTED MIND,

AND FILL IT WITH THY FIRE."

RIGHT. SO YOU'RE A POET.

BUT I STILL BELIEVE THESE RUNTS

HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH SPREADING REBELLION,

AND I AIM TO FIND THE EVIDENCE.

TEAR THE PLACE APART IF YOU HAVE TO.

AND IF I FIND SO MUCH AS ONE POSTER,

IT'S JAIL FOR THE LOT OF YOU!

YOU! ME?

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

SARAH PHILLIPS, SIR.

PHILLIPS, YOU SAY?

I SERVED UNDER A MAJOR PHILLIPS

DURING THE SEVEN YEARS WAR.

MAJOR PHILLIPS IS MY FATHER, SIR.

IS THAT SO?

THEN YOU'RE AN ENGLISHWOMAN,

MISS PHILLIPS.

IT'S YOUR DUTY TO TELL ME WHO MADE THESE POSTERS.

THE TRUTH, NOW.

YOUR FATHER WOULD EXPECT YOU TO TELL THE TRUTH

TO AN OFFICER IN THE SERVICE OF HIS KING.

I--I--

I--

SPILL IT, GIRL.

WELL, I'M WAITING, YOUNG LADY.

WHERE ARE MY MANNERS?

YOU MUST BE HALF-FROZEN

RIDING IN THIS COLD WEATHER.

I'LL FIX A POT OF TEA ON THE FRANKLIN STOVE.

THERE, THE FIRE IS STOKED.

WE'LL HAVE HOT TEA IN HALF A TICK.

UH, NOW WHAT WAS THAT YOU ASKED ME?

SOMETHING ABOUT POSTERS?

NOTHING, LIEUTENANT. THE PLACE IS CLEAN.

NO SIGN OF THEM SIGNS.

AH, I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS.

COME ON, MEN.

THE RABBLE-ROUSERS ARE OUT GETTING AWAY

WHILE WE'RE DILLY-DALLYING

WITH CHILDREN AND POETS AND TEA.

QUICK, TO THE WAGON, BEFORE THEY COME BACK!

PHILLIS, HOW CAN WE EVER THANK YOU?

KEEP FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM, THAT'S HOW.

NOW BE OFF!

I'LL KEEP WATCH UNTIL YOU'RE SAFELY GONE.

THANK YOU.

FOR WHAT?

YOU KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

SURE, YOU DO. YOU SAVED OUR HIDES.

JAMES, I'M VERY TIRED, AND I'M COLD.

AHH.

I'M GOING TO MAKE A GENTLEMAN

OUT OF YOU YET.

AND I'M GOING TO MAKE AN AMERICAN OUT OF YOU.

YAH! YAH!

James: A LITTLE MORE, MOSES.

GOOD! THAT LOOKS GREAT!

Sarah: "DEAREST MOTHER,

"SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED,

"I HARDLY KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN!

"YOUR LATEST LETTER

"BROUGHT THE SHOCKING NEWS FROM LONDON.

"IT'S TERRIBLE THAT DR. FRANKLIN

"HAS LOST HIS POSITION AS POSTMASTER,

"BUT PRAISE THE LORD

"HE DIDN'T END UP IN JAIL, OR WORSE!

[BANGING]

JAMES, CUT OUT THAT RACKET!

A LITTLE MORE, MOSES.

GOOD.

WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP THAT NOISE!

I'M TRYING TO CONCENTRATE.

GO AHEAD, JAMES. IT'S FINISHED.

SARAH.

WHAT IS IT?

THE BOYS HAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR YOU.

FOR ME?

A THANK YOU, FOR SAVING US.

HERE.

FOR ME?

MOSES MADE IT.

IT WAS MY IDEA.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

YOU LIKE IT?

I LOVE IT.

BUT WHERE IN THE WORLD DID YOU GET THE GOLD?

ARE YOU SURE YOU LIKE IT?

[GASPING] YOUR RING!

IT'S THE GREATEST GIFT I'VE EVER RECEIVED.
