Based on extensive research in both Americ an and British archives\, \;1776 \;is the story of Americ ans in the ranks\, men of every shape\, size\, and color\, farmers\, schoo lteachers\, shoemakers\, no-accounts\, and mere boys turned soldiers. And it is the story of the British commander\, William Howe\, and his highly d isciplined redcoats who looked on their rebel foes with contempt and fough t with a valor too little known. But it is the American commander-in-chief who stands foremost&mdash\;Washington\, who had never before led an army in battle.
