Nothing could better express America's undying love for King George and the British homeland.
Fast forward six years, and New York pulses with a very different energy.
On the night of July the 9th, 1776, dozens of men enter Bowling Green under cover of darkness.
These are soldiers, part of a new Continental Army, a ragtag fighting force taking on the might of the British Empire.
Earlier that day, they heard the Declaration of Independence read aloud.
Forget Long Live the King, George III is now public enemy number one.
The soldiers clamber on top of the monarch's statue.
They tie long, thick ropes around him and pull.
Soon, the king is unbalanced.
The statue comes crashing down.
Now the butchery begins.
His majesty is cut up limb by limb, his head hacked from his neck.
Next, the lead is melted down.
There's enough for 42,000 musket balls.
All will be used to shoot the king's soldiers.
The mightiest of them all has fallen.
George III is in the scrapyard, a crook, a traitor, a tyrant.
and the new nation is already building its own pantheon of great patriots.
In time, they'll be known around the world as the Founding Fathers, the instigators of the American Revolution and the creators of the American Republic.
The names of the most famous Founding Fathers echo through history.
