Complete Record: At the close of the Revolutionary War, many veterans are deeply in debt with creditors foreclosing. In 1786 Captain Job Shattuck leads a group of dissidents to the courthouse in Concord, Mass. to prevent the court from sitting, forestalling additional foreclosures. Shattuck is arrested and tried for treason. A man who fought against British tyranny now finds himself resisting what he believes are injustices in his own country.
