This Arnold guy seems like a pretty smart cheap. He should probably be promoted. Right? Right?

My ancestors were there.

I can't wait for the Southern campaign. It's such an underrated part of the war

I will never understand why Howe acted in such a cautious and passive way. It amazes me.

I used to live in the Champlain valley and there is a lot of history from this period around there. Your videos are great, thank you for all your hard work.

Keep it up!

@History Rebel Congrats on your hard work; research, narration, animation, music putting them all together brilliantly!!!

Amazing narration, and thank you for educating us!!

Much of the Declaration of Independence was "political propaganda?" I appreciate your work and shall remain subscribed, but found this comment inaccurate. Regard what is happening across western Europe currently, as well as the states, and then give the Declaration a read again.

Any new videos coming?

Only a Brit would refer to Ethan Allen’s Vermont army as “Arnold’s forces” or “Arnold’s men.” This is revisionist history.

the drills and tactics that Von Steuben became the Blue book, which to this day is the American Army Infantry bible

😃😃😃

The soundtrack, the animation, the flow is top class

Great content! I am one of the animators from a channel called King's Generals, and am currently working on a series about the American revolution aswell. Your detailed work has helped me a ton. I wondered if there is some way I can contact you.

Wow, this was super well done! Loved every minute. Keep it up!

NEW HAMPSHIRE MENTIONED 🗣‼️

ANYBODY KNOW WHY THERE ARE SO MANY BRITS DOING VIDEOS ABOUT AMERICANS? I WOULD RATHER HEAR AN AMERICAN VOICE. DON'T LOSE YOUR COOKIES. THIS INFO IS AVAILABLE IN A DOZEN OTHER PLACES.

Great work thank you

These are always fun to watch as a saratoga native. I've found many balls in the fields as my aunt lives on the outskirts of the battle field

What is the explanation why you should never split your forces to defend two or more places at once in battle?

Another excellent video. Narration and animation is very impressive

Thank you for this series. The graphics and narration are superb, and the thoroughness of your research and love of your subject shine through. I'm a long-time student of the American Revolution, and yours is the best telling of it I've seen. Keep up your great work!

Canada did not exist until 1867. There were no Canadians.

It amazes me sometimes that an absolute American hero like Arnold would squander all his present and future accolades. The "Hero of Saratoga" would and will never get his just credit!!

28:33 is that Washington's Headquarters in Newburgh NY? I know that area very very well. Ps love the history lesson. Thanks

Very interesting narrated by someone with a “British accent”. He pronounces everything wrong…haha

69 back then must have been like 110 today

Washington fought a brilliant campaign. The only thing that could have made it perfect is if the British had held on to Charles Lee who was a legend in his own mind and a thorn in the side of Washington. Very well done video. Thank you

This is an absolutely fantastic series. Looking forward to the rest. I'm hoping you'll do a video on the fighting between the French and the English down in the Caribbean so we can see why d'Etang kept jerking Washington around for 2 years before finally showing up at Yorktown. From the American perspective, it's only peripherally related, but from the European perspective, The Islands were the far more important theater.

I really love the way you showed uncertainty and imperfect information. So many videos like this give you a perfect view of both armies, and while that's helpful for clarity, doing it this way really helps you emphasise with Washington. It's a lot harder to be an armchair general and say 'he should have done this' when you're hearing multiple conflicting reports and don't know which one is correct.

Franklin was a hell of a smooth operator.

I grew up in Paoli. It's pronounced PAY-oh-lee. And the "last river" that you knew better than to attempt pronunciation on is pronounced SKOO-kull. Aside from that, very well done.

I will never walk on Mercer Street again and not remember this video! Well done!! The entire Greenwich Village is named after Revolutionary War generals or other types of heroes and I'd say 99% of New Yorkers have no idea!

Fallout reference

Great job!

i guess i missed this in school

thanks for explaining the formations. seems silly to stand there and be shot at

Nicely done! Excellent detail. Of coarse would of loved to hear the details of our beloved First City Troop! Subscribed and looking forward to learning more, thank you!

George Washington wasn't one of the great military minds of the age, but his skills at maneuver warfare are undeniable. Not every commander of this period could move his men around so quickly and in such an orderly fashion.

you narrate very pro american for being in the UK

This video is great.😊

very entertaining. like history marche but for american battles

Was Canada a country in 1775-76? Or was it just a collection of provinces controlled by the British? The narrator says the Continentals invaded Canada several times. I see this as incorrect since the American Revolutionary War was in progress and the Continentals were taking the fight to the British wherever they were, just as they did in the provinces to the south.

FYI- Paoli is pronounced: Pay-O-Lee, not Powlee

“Shots heard ‘round the world” The reverend took court on the green in Lexington with all the men in the village from ages 17+ with (2) under the age of 17 two pipers at ages 15 and 16. stood in the front. The Reverend warned the townsmen that they are hunting rifles are only there so that they are the British equals and can reason with them. Some of the village men said “what if they don’t care and shoot us all down?“ The Reverend assured all of them that God is with them, and try not to spill any blood. Rumors have it and from the novel by Howard Fast, betrays one of the villagers who was hospitalized earlier, was hiding in the villages lumber pile overlooking the green. This gorilla type of villager shot of the British drum 🥁 men supposedly which was the “ shot heard round the world“ some people contest, Howard fast version saying that either the British started at first or one of the villagers shot accidentally his weapon. The drummer who was shot by that first bullet bounced from his plate and didn’t even hurt him. The initial volley killed roughly 17-20 of the 50 something villagers with the remaining scattering within the wood line. Half the British that were there pursued the “squirter“ but we’re meant with fears, gorilla warfare throughout the lines between Lexington and Concord and the rolling fields in between. And with other reinforcements coming from villages, such as Bedford, Massachusetts, Medford, Massachusetts, and in and around the Boston area, such as Roxbury, Dorchester, and what is known today as Brookline, and Cambridge and parts of Framingham joined in the gorilla fighting tactics. Many liters that day conveyed that going toe to toe with a disciplined army such as the British is suicide. They betrayed this in the Mel Gibson‘s 2000 movie “the patriot“. Where Mel Gibson talks about general “gates“ muzzle to muzzle with red coats in an open field is “suicide”. these were the first tactics of gorilla warfare that we know of it today. The same tactics use in Lexington and Concord were studied by foreign leaders were students of the west such as a person named “Ho Chi Minh” who by studying the American Revolution, realize that gorilla warfare tactics can make the most weakest and smallest army triumph over a large force by hiding and attacking tactics. History repeats itself.

Modern pronunciation is Pay Oh Lee.

The fusiliers were marching in a ditch on the beach on the North, they received the most casualties because they didn't have cover

My honest congratulations on your representation of the fog of war! Much succes on this platform!
