The Spirit of '76 and The Spirit of Independence are designed to convey a sense of American history through a series of 104, 5-minute animated segments, intended primarily for children aged 6 to 14.

Each segment is narrated by an animated character named Sam Hawkins. Through Sam's tales, children will learn many fascinating details about the people and events of the Revolutionary Period.

Without flag-waving or pontificating, Sam Hawkins will present the history of the United States in such a way that students will gain a solid understanding of the foundation and principles on which our nation was built.
