To the folks who are commenting about "white" this and "uncomfortable" that... I think it is a good thing to show that the American Revolution wasn't just a cartoon of George Washington and the cherry tree and Hamilton rapping his way through history. But I get the feeling that these kinds of comments imply that the Founding Fathers were somehow morally bad because everything they did wasn't 100% perfect in light of the 21st century context. What is amazing about that generation was that they created a governmental structure that had never existed before and that could grow and change as times change and could accommodate a pluralistic set of ideals that today have to work for 327 million citizens. I challenge any of the detractors to consider their own lack of perfection and whether you could have done any better in the 1770s and 1780s. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." 243 years after the Declaration of Independence, we can't say that the US government or the citizens of our country are perfect, but I believe we are more perfect today than ever before. As we prepare to celebrate the 4th of July in 2019, we should celebrate without reservation even though the new America that revolutionized government in 1776 wasn't the perfect place that UA-cam comments would have preferred.
Agreed. The Founders and those that fought this American Revolution did so at a time when the common person in EVERY other nation had limited (or no) freedoms. It wasn't that people wanted to be from Britain but British ways. The British (and other nations) went on to subjugate tens of millions of people around the world. While the United States wasn't perfect, it didn't colonize or create an empire. Eventually (through a civil war, and constitutional amendments) Any one could come here, become a part of the culture, become a citizen, find opportunity and make decisions.
@Michael Cristian To your point, as early as the 1810's, the future New York City saw a slow, yet steady flow of Hispanics migrating to my future borough of The Bronx after the Revolution! In those times, the city was broken up into small villages. My region would have lied near the Town of Westchester (a.k.a. the future Westchester Square reigion.) A resident of Cuban descent named M. Lopez was documented to have resided in this town as early as 1813! As a Puerto Rican American, I take pride in the Hispanic lineage of Our National History...🇵🇷🇺🇸😎
My 6th Great-grandfather Samuel Trivett was at Valley Forge with George Washington. I have always had pride in my heart for this great country. Knowing that I have a grandfather who fought and died in the Revolutionary War.
This is so fascinating, I’m glad we shed light on all colors, native people , and all walks of life. They didn’t teach you this in school. It was the little neatly packaged interpretation of what they wanted you to know. History has a passion, a strength , perseverance , and most all people who have shaped it . We need to recognize that. And give credit to all who have scarified and forged there way for themselves and all of us.
"They didn’t teach you this in school" umm thats not true I'm a teacher I teach all this stuff. Most kids don't pay attention in class. Why aren't you blaming kids and parents who don't value learning?
Some black men fought for the revolution. During the winter at Valley Forge in particular there were a lot of blacks who were fighting for the revolution. That was one hard winter. Very hard. Most modern Americans couldn't do it.
@@dianastein7431 When one is under tyranny, they long for freedom not healthcare. They long for freedom not safety. Zoo animals have healthcare and they are not targeted by hunters. But they are not free. The difference is important.
The smartest thing that I've heard relating to our shared history is that it is NOT an 'unpatriotic' act to tell the TRUTH and shed light on injustices that those people suffered... The truth can be a sour pill to swallow but it's necessary
Most people don't know (Philadephia Freedom) was written by Elton John for Billy Jean King's Tennis League. They wanted to start a Tennis Leauge in the mold of the NFL.
That most patriotic thing one can do is be critical of our own past and present. It is to seek better for us and everyone and to accept that we can only be great if we continue to strive for it.
Is this about the American Revolution or is it about slavery and the American indians? Have you said anything at all about the causes of the Revolution? How about key dates and events?
BrandonFlorida - This wasn’t a documentary about the Revolution. This was a piece about a new museum and the artifacts that are on display. The piece also highlights artifacts and information from groups people don’t normally learn about in social studies. Chill out and go search for a good book or a documentary if you want dates. Better yet, go visit the museum.
Yes, we should not forget the "warts" and all the people who never received center stage. American history has some pretty dark passages that need to be remembered along with what we were told in school.
Yes . In the early days of the war . The Royal Governor of Virginia, Lord Donmore . Made a decree . That if the slaves of the American revelutionarys would flee to The British lines and join The Army. They would be granted freedon with the Victory of the kings forces.
The real challenge in reimagining the American revolution is ensuring that those things which were previously swept under the carpet do not become the carpet.
@@alexfloate2420 It took the US only 90 years to abolish slavery. Britain took 800 years. Yikes!!!! Man Alex, you sound kind of racist defending such an oppressive empire.
no mention here about the "Dames of Havana" who at the end financed the war. Giving Washington himself just when he was loosing and the soldiers were starving. The High Society Cuban women got together in Habana and donated all their jewels (1.6 million of back then money) to Washington and he was able to pay his soldiers and finance his war....got Virginia back and won independence from England.
Focusing on a hand full of people was over proportion. This war was not about blacks or indians. it was about a revolution against monarchy and the beginning of democracy.
Nicely done piece. But I wonder whether the Oneida section of the museum reveals that the Oneida nation *sold* most of that 6,000,000 acres over the years? There was recently a court case about it, which revolved around the current head of the nation suing the U.S. for breach of the treaty preserving their lands, but as it was shown in court, the U.S. didn't encroach. The tribe sold land to private investors and the State of New York. The Oneida are the only Native nation in the U.S. to have allied with the winning side in every American war.
@Rob Paul,,,,,of course they do not. They are under orders to "Divide And Conquer", until everybody is at each other's throat and there is civil war that will leave millions of soyboy liberal lunatics injured or dead.

I will give this video a "like" because most stories about the American Revolution hardly ever cover the story of the colored races and their role. However, if you going to cover their plight of colored people during the Revolution, at least recognize that their life improved over time and how decent Americans bonded regardless of race. Stop promoting the "victim" mentality among non-white Americans. Furthermore, Native Americans are not relegated to reservations. They can establish their own communities without government entitlements, but many chose not to. Like other countries and continents, the Americas were conquered. There's no point in whining about what was. Native Tribes fought each other and some sided with their conquerors. So, they sowed their fate. Stop living in the past and move on.
American revolution was lot more about big ideas that were ultimately forgotten with time.. it promised a lot but didn't deliver much becoz it was constituted by philosophers

The history of the world is a history of power. We fail to share it (or learn from our past) at our peril.
The British Empire did not abolish slavery until 1834, and then didn't formally emancipate slaves until 1840.
Still earlier than the US and able to do so without a civil war.
