Yeeyuh 😀

looking forward to more

Great job, keep it up!

Love this history! The less well known the better! Thank you so much for your detailed, beautiful and rich history of our country! It brings a lot of appreciation and understanding to the important history of this country.🇺🇸

Super

probably, i read some of that when i was doing my own research

A true diplomatic mission does not operate like Jumonville's detachment. According to both European and Native custom, a diplomatic mission, even if being escorted by a military force, is not supposed to be jumping around in the woods trying their best to NOT be detected. A legitimate attempt to deliver diplomatic messages takes an established path, openly, and carries wampum, because it is important to remember that Tanikrision is not Washington's subordinate in any way, and that land is Haudenosenee land, which is why Tanikrision is there in the first place, he is is the formal representative of the Great League in the Ohio Country. The short version is that Jumonville might have had that paper for "cover" but he was acting as a reconnaissance force with significant combat power

Self interest is always a prime motivator ~ the half-king had his owen agenda which is quite understandable but so did the French. Washington’s trip to Fort Dequene the year before was a true diplomatic mission where he travelled with just a few guides and made his presence and reasons for the visit quite clear to all which stands in quite contrast to Jumonville’s trip which took active steps to conceal its presence and real motivations until they were detected and caught.

big brain move

awesome bro i hope to go there some day!

Being down between the rocks in Jumonville Glen, you can feel the history, and I know that sounds cliche, but it’s surreal. Being able to sit on the stones and walk around in the footsteps of history between those rock faces is truly amazing. I used to live about 15 miles from there and it was always a quiet place to enjoy and imagine history before your eyes.

@@IYAAYAS1987 may wife and I went there 20 years ago, stopped at Braddock grave too. Literally being in jumonville glen is haunting, standing in a spot likely where George Washington stood, and the spot where the first real “world war” began. Been to all the spots in western pa even labouf, machault, and bushy run (pontiacs war) Now retired, Ticonderoga is on the plan list and that area

Don’t forget about the sieges as well like fort William Henry and the battle of lake George.

@@chasechristophermurraydola9314 nope not true😊

@@casper191985 what’s that supposed to mean.

@@chasechristophermurraydola9314 Those will be good too but I’m most excited for those ones.

@@ethanpf449 oh okay I understand now and I am also excited for the ones that you are excited for but I am excited for the other two ones and I am especially excited to see the battle of Carillon and the reason is because you see I play the tenor drum in a bagpipe and drum band that is named after the black watch but before it became the black watch it was known as the 42nd regiment of foot and during the battle of Carillon the regiment lost over half of its men.

we all know what comes after the french and indian war ;)

@@WarhawkYT Nice

@@WarhawkYT Can't wait buddy Patriots forever!!👌👌👏👏👍👍🙌🙌

The outline of the fort can still be seen, especially if you are on the ridge on the other side of the river

And the name of the ridge: Mount Washington

thanks sam!

As Anderson points, George, yes there was a difference between militia ranks and crown ranks, an issue that would cause many problems between the crown and the colonials throughout the war.

thanks man! we just started on the Antietam campaign!

thanks Slain!

you're welcome and thanks micah!

thanks Wyoming!

Thanks gamer

lol

thanks!

Oh yeah, thats so cool. I just watched the series again yesterday!

I like the idea of doing the war of 1812 as well along with the American war of independence because like I am surprised that it’s not well known in like Germany, Spain and The Netherlands because like these three European nations along with france and the Uk played major roles in the war like the Spanish they captured mobile Alabama and Pensacola Florida from the British and the Germans supplied some troops to the British like the hessians and Brunswickers and they even supplied a baroness and this baroness is the baroness Von Riedesel and like the baroness accompanied her husband the Baron during the Saratoga campaign and she was a camp follower and besides the baroness her 3 daughters also accompanied their father and while with her husband the baroness wrote a journal about her experiences in the American Revolutionary War and like she and her daughters were guests of general Philip Schuyler who is the father in law of Alexander Hamilton and like the journal that she wrote was an important first hand account of the Saratoga campaign and the involvement of the Netherlands in the war is very interesting as Dutch merchants supplied arms and munitions and the selling of arms and munitions was in contravention of the British navigation acts however events regarding shipping to France and the American colonies led to war between Britain and the Dutch republic and this war was the 4th Anglo Dutch war and the war ended with a treaty being signed between the British and the Dutch and this treaty was part of the bigger treaty of Paris which ended the American Revolutionary War.

LESS GOO

most likely, i dont know when

thanks but the narration was clear

@@WarhawkYT Excellent and I look forward to the next ones

The British didn't (well, technically they did, as they seized Cape Colony in 1795, but that's later than the date we're discussing), but the French were in Senegal by 1673. The British would attack, and even temporarily hold, parts of French Senegal during the wars of the 17th century, so that's the British - French conflicts in Africa that he's talking about.

The French, Portuguese and Dutch held small claims in Africa.

im pretty sure the british held singular outpost on the african continent, which you could count as colonies

John Arnold actually you are wrong because the French did have colonial possession in Africa in the 18th century and this French possession was the area of the modern day country’s of Senegal and the Gambia and if you are wondering where to find this information look up the British capture of Senegal on Wikipedia and it will show you what I am talking about.

Do you know where the original portrait was moved to.

so much stuff lost to time, such a shame!

The administration claims ‘its in storage’ but won’t give any additional details beyond that vague answer. I used to donate a lot of money to the school and even actively recruit for new students here on the west coast for W&L but no longer will do so unless I get concrete assurances on the exact current location of the Peale portrait.

lol

I give more credit to the Native American sharpshooters for the casualties suffered by the Washington’s command rather than the French…..after all they are French 😉 but then again this could be ‘recently’ bias 😉 see WW2

@@fett333 Under the circumstances, that would make more sense.

​@@fett333 Most of the troops present were French.

@@fett333 The French had the most dominant army in the time ...they had literallyu fought europe to a draw in the war of the grand alliance and some would even say a victory ....idk wtf is with the american schooling sysytem but you guys are dumb

and washington pilled

Hi
