I'm assuming that the fancy professional fibre arts skills were taken as evidence that the women in question were very capable in general, kind of like how some jobs will look for a university degree, even if it isn't actually in a field that's related to the job.

Great video Samantha.

Excellent video!

🤣 "smiled at a bayonet charge. yeah that made them a little crazy, but crazy is what they needed".... LOL.. that was priceless.. thanks for a good laugh in the morning...

Is it known what happened to those women? Did they marry, could they put their craft to good juse? I would like to see a follow up. Thank you for the interessting presentation☺️

a rudder is a flat plank at the back of the ship to steer it as well... why name two different things the same thing?

Thank you for this video it was super interesting! Once the women arrived in Virginia would they have opportunities to use their skills collaboratively - e.g. one sews the doublets and the other makes the thread buttons - or would they be more tied to their own household? Also, is there any evidence of men in the colony gaining some of these more 'feminine' skills when the gender imbalance necessitated it?

he is my 9th great granddad

Excellent video.Thank you so much!

i learned a lot watching this. thank you !

So interesting!

Populate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Completely different from the New England colonies where entire families came over, including my ancestors.

What beautiful clothing

Phineas and Ferb taught us about aglets.

Very interesting video.

Thank you for such a wonderful presentation of the history of our first English Mothers.

Very interesting! Thank you!! 🧡

I’m forwarding your presentation on to my facebook pals. Nice to see lots of Mr Brenkels production on show. Thanks!!!! 🇬🇧👍🏻🇺🇸

Brilliant video, I have read accounts of the Royal Navy using variations of the priming tube attached to string.

Круто!!!!!

The firing and reloading process seems to be pretty effective however I dont think the two standing up front wide open to enemy retaliation and shouting commands would last too long. I believe the two up front would have very short lifespans in a combat situation!

I want you.

It's really easier to cast them all on one needle, then divide between the needles on row two. It avoids holes in that first row -- and I'm always in favor of less aggravation when it comes to knitting so tiny!!

Very education video, i never thought about the rate of fire issue in context of the musketeer formations, but that makes a lot of sense.

My wife’s relative John Johnson (Ancient Planter) is buried on Jamestown Island VA

It was hard to follow the gentleman speaking about Daniel Morgen, not sure if I have heard that many “uhhs” in my entire life.

That’s the way it was when I was in the Corps, you were promoted via merit not equity.

General Light Horse Harry Lee was thee father of that great American, General Robert Edward Lee.

Cover and concealment are two of the things we were taught in Advanced Infantry training, along with sight alignment and trigger squeeze.

This video was filmed just down the road from where I live. It is so interesting to think of the amount of American history that exists within a 30 mile radius of my house.

Regarding the segment on Gen. Morgan, why would a museum show a loading block and short starter as part of their equipment, when there is no documentation of those items being used until well after the Revolution? These anachronisms just create confusion.

I’ve long suspected that the myth you used at the start of the video was more of a mirror of success. American light troops and guerrillas were often victorious against the British while the British regulars bullied Washington’s regulars almost into nonexistent.

Great to see that you have the money to drydock the ship. The poor Olympia in Philadelphia desperately needs it I'm curious, if you're allowed to share, how much that will cost? I visited the USS New Jersey in drydock and that project cost over $10M!

Awesome and excellent. Godspeed Susan Constant.

Will she be open during the restoration at Mystic?

I recently visited with my family and had a great experience at you museum. My eight year old son now wants to sail. Thank you.

Hurry back please 😊

Love to see this some of the process posted on this channel.. Love your content, thank you.

I was thrilled to find out that I have a connection to Jamestown through my 11th great grandfather, Stephen Hopkins who came to Jamestown in 1609 aboard the ill-fated Sea Venture.

Chassoors😂

God's frontiersman the Scotch Irish in Boone N.C. Indian fighters fought at the battle of kings mountain NC and thier tactics made a difference.

That was great thanks

'The Holy Kingdom' by Adrian Gilbert is a book that gives so much evidence on this topic. His work with Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett should be taught in schools, not the tripe we are force fed. And we send students to 'university' to ignore these subjects?

Great video! I would love to know more info of french regiments and uniforms in that era

The buck skin jacket and trousers also were of brown to earth color blended in well in the dense forests around main roads as a form of camouflage. It was copied by American frontiersmen from the American Indians and copied their tactics operating in small platoon sized units. Skirmish formations were not linier formations usually but 2-3 ranks with spaced intervals from front to rear and dispersed from left to right in the open or concealed in the wood line to avoid detection. Each rifleman should be able to see the man in front of him as well as to his rear on the move either in a file formation as to move faster or spread out in a general direction when enemy contact is most likely. It applies to this day of modern combat in the US Military from the Standing Orders of Roger's Rangers which is taught in today's US Army Ranger School which is also a leadership school for future officers and NCOs. Many Special Operations guys have gone to Ranger School and were former members of the Ranger Battalions to go on to Special Forces or Delta in the Army. Other Services like the Navy SEALs and other services who have special operations forces to Ranger School to bring back basic knowledge of small unit operations. The British Army Commandos from WWII fame formed under Prime Minister Winston Churchill helped the US in starting their Ranger units based on the British Commandos. Full circle has gone on through the progress and experience in warfare.

He’s fast with that matchlock! Great video, great clothing and armor! I’d love to fire a piece that old-fashioned one day.

flintlock Kentucky rifle, produced from about 1750 by American gunsmiths from Germany and Switzerland, provided great accuracy to 180 metres (200 yards), then a long range. Virtually every village and settlement had a shooting match on weekends and holidays, often attracting a hundred or more marksmen.…
