## Caption

In this episode of On This Day… 1776, Jefferson faces his greatest opponent yet: King George III himself - bare-chested, crown on, and ready to brawl. Rendered in a bold anime style, this is history like you've never seen it: every blow landed is an idea worth fighting for.
With the ghost of John Locke in his corner, Jefferson must do more than defeat a tyrant. He has to find the words that will justify an entire revolution.
""We hold these truths to be self-evident…""
But first, he has to survive.
We’re re-examining the most famous artifacts and moments in American history: one day at a time.

This is Episode 10 of On This Day: 1776 - a cinematic short film series reimagining the most iconic year of America's founding. Not the triumphant myth you were taught, but the brutal, human truth underneath it.
