Young Rebels

By Anonymous

This was a series depicting a group of teenage lads resisting the British in the area around Chester, Pennsylvania. Kind of a like a Mod Squad from Colonial times.

The parallel it drew was the need to resist unrepresented taxation and the helplessness felt by the American people during the advancing years of the Vietnam war. It may well be that it was taken off the air for that very reason. It glorified acts of resistance against authority. Those acts against the oppressive British were seen as patriotic but whereas resistance to US foreign policy in Vietnam was then seen as subversive.

Sound familiar?
