How Did 13 Colonies Become a Superpower?

In 1776, almost nobody thought the American experiment would survive.
A collection of colonies took on the most powerful empire on Earth. At Valley Forge, soldiers froze, starved, and fought on anyway. Many never lived to see what came next.
But somehow, the story continued.
From the Revolution to westward expansion. From the Civil War to industrialization. From the Great Depression to World War II. From the Cold War to the Moon Landing. This is the story of how a fragile idea became the most powerful nation in modern history—and why that story may still be unfinished.
Because the biggest threat America faced was not always an empire, a civil war, or a nuclear weapon.
Sometimes it was the question of what it believed.
