Writers @ Stanton: Don Watson

From revolution to civil rights, Hollywood and the Gilded Age, discover the extraordinary story of the United States.

When Britain's thirteen American colonies declared their independence on 4 July 1776, the United States of America was born. But it was hardly united.

Follow Don Watson as he traces how the central conflicts of the USA play out through its history: a country at war with itself, to the leader of the free world, then a nation beset by wild division and turmoil in the twenty-first century.
