| 0:13.5 | The 4th of July is coming very soon. |
| 0:15.1 | We're going to be talking about what is commonly referred to as the Revolutionary War, |
| 0:20.6 | but is more accurately probably described the war for American independence. |

| 0:26.6 | We're not really going to dive into the deep issues of what is freedom, what is liberty, all of the things that they were trying to achieve. |
