I couldn’t imagine. I was an Infantryman in the US Army from 2007-2013. I’ve got a lot of miles on my feet.

Americans learned war fighting in North America. So the American way of war has always emphasized logistics and using technology to make it easier in contrast to the Europeans who get obsessed with tactics. And small battles. Generals who fight like Europeans in North America such as Lee and the Confederate officer corps tended to lose...

I whole heartedly agree.

It also was an entertaining mix of serious information and pop culture references/snark, like mentioning Hamilton Lyrics in the bit about George thinking he can easily suppress the uprising.

No he's Jewish and why are they blurring out his funny little hat 🔯

Yes, the French and the Spanish acted in their own interests, not some other country's (which would have been unthinkable).

@@firefly1375 It is certainly reasonable to act in one's own interests (it is typically the best reason), I simply think that point is often missed when Countries Act together. The American Revolution was a clear example of that.

This is the most important point about the revolution.People fail to realise that if it did not happen at this point, it would irrefutably never have happened, because only 2 decades later The British started the Industrial Revolution and had steam powered gunships for decades, before the French got them, followed by the German states followed by the US. Also, if this had happened and the US had lost, It's even more certain there would never have been another war of independence, because then the Brits would have been more covert about selling the skills and information developed around the Industrial Revolution In our timeline other countries were able to get steam powered gunboats within a few decades, because consultations were made in London, Paris and the German states where this information was sold to foreign engineers and entrepreneur groups, for cash *It's from this point of view that it should be easy to see why the idea of MANIFEST DESTINY developed, because it's not just, like we think, that it was because the colonists won the War of Independence, but also because they absolutely HAD to win it when they did!

Well Done! Thank you

Which isn't surprising. No politician, nor government can bring us hope. Hope can be found in but one place; in Jesus Christ, our Lord and savior. Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. - Romans 15:13

Congress is the antithesis of progress! We The People are the only people who can create positive change, government is not there for hope and inspiration!

Because nothing says "freedom" like Eminent Domain and shadowy private trust funds.🤣🤣

Me too! 😀GA

I believe it is in fact Brandywine for Howe was on the other side of Washington at Germantown!

@@charlesbenedict743 You are right about the troop positions being in the correct orientation relative to each other for the Brandywine battle. However, they are incorrectly located by being arranged around the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia. If you look closely to the lower left of the word, "Cornwallis," you can very faintly make out the word, "Philadelphia."

Glad to have you!

No it's not, hence the insurrection provision. It's in case the British came back.

It's literally the format lol

Sorta. I think Napoleon benefited the most.

Haha yeah right😁

Why don't you ask 1.4 billion Indians if the good guys won the revolutionary war

@@WKRP187 exactly. Did you know the Indians used to like going into battle flying a flag. The British flag. Shame about the Indians loosing all there land.

@@WKRP187 also ask the black people. We were freeing them at the time.

@@WKRP187 ha, you mean India. As in India. Sorry, a bit slow there as we were talking AWI. Yes, India has so much to thank the British for. Before us India was run by people who fed off the pore, they weren't very nice. And had other countries trying to take India, France and the Dutch I think who were quite brutal. And we stopped a few silly customs like burning wives when the husband dies. We made a country out of them. They now have Democracy, and a whole country, on the world stage. What would they have been without us? We ruled India with very few people there because most normal people wanted to live in a civilized world.

USA is the first federal presidential republic. A unique form of democracy during its creation.

Care to name any Non-English active examples as of 1776?

Not active but the Corsican Republic preceded the United States. It ended however with a French invasion in 1769. The American Sons of Liberty were inspired by Pasquale Paoli, a Corsican soldier & revolutionary who later served as president of the Republic. Paoli, Pennsylvania for example gets its name from a tavern named after him that was a meeting spot local Sons of Liberty men.

@@ahorsewithnoname773 You're 100% correct and it's a great story. But it still means the statement that in 1776 there were no other democracies on earth is an accurate statement.

@@Camecol21 Switzerland. Iceland has the oldest parliament in Europe.

Stay mad

The Second Amendment protects the First. Independence was won with guns, not just words.

They did this to defend their liberty, the first amendment didn't exist yet. And the spark that set off the fighting, was the British attempt to confiscate the Colonists arms. So you're statement is lacking in historical accuracy.

? You do know the Bill of Rights came later? Watch John Adams the HBO mini series if you want a feel for why the Revolutionary War was fought. Also read through the Federalist papers.

@@brandenrunyan1821 We both know the left doesn't spend any time thinking about a topic they simply read the headlines and think they know what the answer is

Yeah the democrats suck
