The Young Rebels
originally aired on ABC
The Young Rebels was the story of a group of youthful guerrillas fighting on the Patriot side in the American Revolutionary War. The four main characters were Jeremy (Richard Ely), Isak (Louis Gossett Jr.), a former slave, Henry (Alex Henteloff), a bright young, bespectacled man who looked a lot (by design) like a younger Benjamin Franklin. Aiding these young American rebels in their cause was a young French rebel, the Marquis de Lafayette (Philippe Forquet)
