We lived across the street from Cliveden in an apartment building for 9 years and attended all of the reenactments of the Battle of Germantown.

Very interesting lecture. I will have to read the professor’s book. Why did Spain give up Louisiana to France in 1800? Did Spain simply sell it because they were desperate for money or did Spain lose Louisiana because of a war with France? It seemed to be a huge loss for Spain to lose Louisiana.

I’M A GENERAL WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

A shame we don't have a more active Battlefield Trust in Canada, because right now there is a lawn bowling site, and events park, sitting roughly on the site of Tecumseh's 2nd last fight on The Thames, from the day before he died, with a few small plaques and a surplus cannon, sitting in a corner.

Benedict Donald doesn't get enough credit it was a great general he was a great man and I think it's tragic what we have done to him in history

“Nobody was predetermined to become a loyalist…” Kevin Philips and Charles Coulombe - two excellent historians on all things Loyalism - would beg to differ. Have you read the former’s “Cousins’ Wars”? It is a mammoth-sized masterpiece and one of the most impressively detailed books that claims the very opposite. This is a lot more easy to understand if one accepts that the American Revolution was, above all else, a bitter civil war. America’s first, to be exact.

I beg to differ on the notion that Arnold’s situation was that he was simply a “traitor” and nothing more. At the very least, his reasons for leaving the Continental cause are highly oversimplified and grossly misunderstood. For one thing, he had enemies long before his status of treason, Gates among them. Let us never forget that time and time again was he extremely mistreated by the Congress, having been repeatedly denied adequate necessities for his men, in addition to provisions, steady pay, etc. And time and time again, he provided his men these things from out of his own pocket. Very few continental officers could ever boast of having done likewise. Case in point, it is all too easy to write the man off as a “traitor”. But most people would have done the same thing had they endured the kind of abuse deliberately inflicted upon Arnold. And, unlike Arnold, there is little doubt that they would have held on for as long as he did. There is a new documentary about him, the first of its kind to absolve him of this slander. You can easily find it here on UA-cam. Highly recommended.

treason runs in the Lee family

this was awesome ... I'm from Saratoga Springs..... I love pre revolution history and certainly revolution time period items... but the connections to Howe and Albany NY where i'm originally from is great.... i'll have to check out St. Peters church in Albany now... the speaker was excellent!!!

It's pretty apparent Mary Ball Washington suffered anxiety throughout her life that was often misplaced into finances (though likely a product of being orphaned as a little 10 year old girl and having witnessed her father, stepfather and mother passing in such a short span of time). This is also likely the reason she wrote the state of Virginia for a pension and fled Fredericksburg temporarily during the Revolutionary War despite there being no battle there; she was seeking a feeling of security. If she were anything less than a good mother to her son, George Washington, he would not have stayed by her side for two days before his inauguration in 1789, as he knew she was passing on not too many months later.

What a tremendous speech! I like that even though he was a traitor, and that can’t be taken lightly, Kelly explains that he was still an important piece for the US to win the war.

We have the same interests also Beer, and history. I from New Bedford , MA also rich in colonial history.

We'll have our home again, believe it!🥲

Great talk! Didn't realize the British soldiers were offered land grants after the war was over. My ancestor, Thomas Hustler, was a British soldier who went over to the American side (turncoat) during the war and had a $25,000 price on his head. He had a tavern (Hustler's Tavern) in Lewiston, NY during the war of 1812 and served both sides equally so that when the British burned down the town at one point the only building left was Hustler's Tavern. Thank you!

Um...to be clear...by the time Washington died he absolutely hated Jeffersons guts not only for what he did to Hamilton and the Federalist party, but for his personal betrayal. When Jefferson showed up at Mt. Vernon to pay his respects, Mrs. Washington said it was the second worse day of her life, the first being Washington's death. Not relevant. But Jefferson died in unbelievable debt and had ro sell even some of the slaves he fathered. Washington had every one of his freed on his death. Or Martha did.

Thank you for your research. This was very interesting. I especially enjoyed hearing about the statistics. I had no idea that only 10% were actually pressed into service. The primary sources i.e. recruiting ads were intriguing. It is also interesting to note the diversity of the stories of individuals like James Rennison, Joseph Dunkerly, James Cuffe and Dennis Green. Unfortunately, I have not read the book. I would be interested to know about the effect on the civilian population of the colonies. Did British soldiers kill or execute colonists? If so, what were the circumstances? Were any immolated as is suggested by Mel Gibson's fantasy film The Patriot (2000)? There are instances such as the Bombardment of Fallmouth, Maine (1775), the Burning of Norfolk (1776), the Great Fire of New York City, NYC (1776), the Burning of Farifield and Norwalk, Connecticut (1779), and the Raid on Richmond, Va. (1781), which are all very particular and include very specific reasons for attacking these cities and towns. It is not always clear how civilians died. Was it a policy to execute or kill civilians?

These lectures are astonishing, first chuncks of true historiography on United States I've heard that didn't feel like a fairy tale. Citizen myself, this is real and important. You have my thanks, many books from here to be had!

That sounds like a must read! I'll gather that one when opportunity shows. Good man!

I can get behind a man of wine

A grand presentation, another great lecture, and another charismatic guest! My thanks for your work

It is a spectacular presentation, I do intend to get this book as soon as circumstance permits! You men have my thanks, history need be preserved

How remarkable that you saved that door ❤

Thank you

Someday I would love to visit this site and see in person the geography and history of the battle.

A very interesting video sir. When I was in Officer Candidate School, I was required to complete a paper on the Nine Points of War, and I chose the Battle of Bennington for my paper because it was a very successful event for a largely state militia force and was instrumental in the overall victory of the Continental Revolution. It also served as the basis for veteran compensation for military service that is in practice today. Thank you for this most excellent and well-done work sir. I did earn my commission and am now retired; but my study into American history and in particular the Battle of Bennington continues and helps me to better understand our mutual history.

Outstanding video

We'd been better off remaining British. Imo

Thank You

The sound quality sadly affects the podcast....but thank you for the work nonetheless...

Really good talk

Great video. Bought two of the author's books on the strength of it.

Confused, the 1794 story starts at 17:00

I saw the Great Cake, Hedgehog cake at Mt Vernon. Martha Washington would make the Great Cake for 12th Night. The Townsend page Colonial cooking really neat. Hoe cakes was made at Mt Vernon. GEORGE loved them with honey on it. And in the 18th Century out of England was Sarah Glass' Cooking Book.

Very interesting talk, thank you for uploading this! I have always wondered about the timing of the freeing of the Custis slaves.

Thank you

those boys got robbed!

Thank you

👍 "promosm"

Excellent presentation. Thank you for your time in insight. Two questions please. 1. The Native tribe mentioned early, part of the Algonquin. I missed their name. 2. Montross. Have you come across that name associated with Odell?

Sounds like Charlie browns teacher

True

Incredible !

43:37 🎉Thank you for the question about the people of St. Eustacius! A big influx of Sephardic Jews influenced by Rodney’s action, emigrated to this port in the Danish Virgin Islands. It was called Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas. The new emigrants flourished early on and this lead to “The Sand Floor Synagogue” in 1833. It is the Second Oldest Synagogue in the Western Hemisphere with continuous services since 1796. Chai (Off Island) Membership keeps us going. I do a tour there. Awaiting your visit. Shalom

There is a popular folk song about the Letters of Marque called “The Last of Barrett’s Privateers”. It centers on a “broken man on a Halifax Pier … the last of Barrett’s Privateers”. Stan Rogers and Dick Solberg have recorded it.

Hard to hear anything.

Poor sound quality.
