I was a child of an Air Force officer stationed at Hanscom Air Force Base when I was 10-13 years old. This all happened right there. Battle Road ran right through the woods behind our house. What a magical place to live at that age.
Yup and your whole childhood was paid for by stealing money from the citizens by the barrel of a gun.
I was born in Worcester, Massachusetts. Maybe no more than 40+ minutes from Lexington. It still amazes me I was born just mere miles from the first fight that began the American Revolution and of the fight for our republic as a whole. I take pride in that. I’ve lived in the south most of my life now but next time I go up in a few months, I’ll definitely be taking a trip to the green to see and take in the awesomeness of where it all began on April 19th, 1775… 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
RIP
To the 49 American militiamen and 73 British troops who were killed in the Battles of Lexington and Concord
Back in the late 80's I was privileged to witness the reenactment of the March of the British into Lexington. I'll never forget that experience.
Long live the Republic!!
It's dying
@@khankrum1Can it be revived?
I believe so..
united we stand! it seemed hopeless during the revolution yet we prevailed! stay positive and god bless the republic!
I feel we're long overdue for a good Revolutionary or French and Indian War movie.
totally agree- a series of movies about our founders would be awesome
We're long overdue for a revolution!
hey I'm working on one
Reality series?
I think we’re long overdue for a good revolutionary war 😈
British military archives record that three or their own were felled during the battle at the Old North Bridge. Their names were James Hall, Patrick Gray, and Thomas Smith all from the 4th Regiment of Foot. One of them is buried in Concord Center while the other two were buried at the east end of the bridge. A marker was eventually placed there that reads "They came three thousand miles and died to keep the past upon its throne. Unheard beyond the ocean tide their English mother made her moan." I have been there several times and always pause at this marker thinking that these two young men never made it home.
Great history. Goosebumps.
Gives me chills to know what our great ancestors went thru. Especially when we are nearing another major war against tyranny.
Too short, I wanted it to keep going.
Please continue the product!
❤ George Washington said, "The man must be bad indeed who can look upon the events of the American Revolution without feeling the warmest gratitude towards the Great Author of the universe whose divine interposition was so frequently manifested in our behalf."
Great short video - thanks for posting
Cool I don't even live that far from Lexington and Concord I have been to both towns really interesting
Excellent! Well done!
Thank you
Very wonderfull history!
Well told.
I've always enjoyed a bit of the colonial period
Me too James
Same. We should know our history. Less it repeat itself.
It drives me nuts that we don’t know who fired the shot heard round the world. Was it an overzealous officer? Was it some nervous homesteading colonist? Truly lost to time.
My X5 great grandfather fought in this.
long live the republic!
Contrary to this I've read the British were actually quite polite when searching for the weapons cache. The colonial women used that against them to delay and deflect their searches.
(edit: Naturally, it was from Wikipedia: "During the search, the regulars were generally scrupulous in their treatment of the locals, including paying for food and drink consumed. This excessive politeness was used to advantage by the locals, who were able to misdirect searches from several smaller caches of militia supplies.[71]"
I just listened to a podcast called history that doesn’t suck. It said that the fire in concord was an accident and that the British were trying to put out the fire but the patriots on the hill thought the British started it and that’s why the went back to town
And how did they know?
@@jeanrodriguez2078exactly I’ve hear story’s that claim hitler didn’t throw Jews in concentration camps for extermination but he put them in there as holding centers for deportation 🤣 the things these people take serious they hear from podcast
they saw the smoke, and the regulars set fire to the gun carriages but the fire jumped to the building of the courthouse and blacksmith shop. @jeanrodriguez2078
The history of America
8 men died that day not knowing what was to come about that day. What a day that must have been. Are we today living up to these 8 men ask yourself that.....God Bless America in the name of Christ.
It's time again to show the King whose boss.
god bless the republic! united we stand
Most important words in the English language as said by Major John Buttrick " Fire good soldiers ! For God's Sake Fire!!!" Let no man shrink from this when his time comes!
Also notable but maybe not as famous, on the muster of Sudbury’s militia companies at the North Bridge, my 7th great grandfather Captain Aaron Haynes’ cousin, Deacon Josiah Haynes exclaimed to him “If you don’t go and drive them British from that bridge, I shall call you a coward.”
Where can I get the soundtrack?
My ancestors were there.
The first foreign weapons used in the American Revolution arrived from Spain in February 1775!
Spain through the Gardoqui family sent 300 Spanish muskets and 600 Spanish pistols!
Spanish aid was there before France, before the Declaration of Independence and before Lexington and Concord! In fact, the British came to Concord to confiscate or seize the supposedly Spanish weapons from the Rebels!
They were also, probably primarily, after some cannons stolen from them from Boston.
I like to think that John Adams fired that shot he was in the area he could have done it but I don't think he did but I like to think that he did
Wonder if I had ancestors who fought in this. Most likely I do have ancestors that fought in the rev. War, as we own a gun from that era.
Wow! The British sound a lot like modern day police in America! We are destined to repeat history.
We are infinitely LESS-free today than we were under British rule
If you had lived in the 1940's or earlier, or lived abroad, you would realize that we have a much more respectful police force today than in any other time period. Of course there's still much need for improvement in many departments. Also, that we are exceedingly more free than most of the world.
@@Fred-mp1vf we are infinitely less free than we were under British rule
Blah, blah, blah.
@@TaxationIsTheft439again...blah, blah, blah.
Why is Lexington so important?
I am an Englishman and have studied American History as part of my Honours Degree. It saddens me to see so many of your citizen's are totally ignorant of the foundation of your nation States, notice I said States, because it was not until the signing of surrender by the Confederate States that you truly became one nation, but NOT under God because that is not in the Constitution but more rather the Gettysburg Address. I digress.
Lexington and the many confrontations that followed was the reason why the 2nd Amendment was added to your Constitution!
Your founders did not trust a powerful central government which possessed a standing army because it could lead to tyrannical government!
THERE WILL BE A WELL ORGANISED MILITIA
Armed citizens willing to take up their armed against enemies both foreign and domestic. Oddly enough the 1689 English Bill of Rights also gave the citizens the right to bear arms as well, and for the same reasons.... AS A MEANS TO PREVENT TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT.
Strange isn't it. It was never intended for the Federal government to possess a standing army! That was the responsibility of the individual " sovereign" States of the Union and its citizens'. Lincoln actually ignored the Constitution when he recruited a Federal army of 70000 men to attack the Confederate States.
PROTECT YOUR CONSTITUTION
IF EVEN ONE PART CAN BE STRUCK DOWN? THEN ALL OF IT CAN ALSO BE ABOLISHED!
Very well said Sir. Yes states rights were largely destroyed by the civil war. Look at news articles at the time and even northern news papers were calling Lincoln a tyrant. Of course he put them in jail for the duration. Lincolns only desire was to preserve the union at all cost not to free anybody, the North needed to keep the cash cow southern states in line to make the North richer. It is sad that our country is now so backward and weak.
thank you sir. You have the heart of an American. Please immigrate to the US and help fan the flame of freedom that our rapidly socialist/marxist populace is extinguishing.
Amen, you love freedom, too. God bless you !!
Why is there no mention of what the British were there for. Doesn't anybody want to point out that the British were there to take away a car of military-grade weapons. Doesn't anybody want to say the fact that the Revolutionary War first shot was fired over the right to bear arms? Why is that always ignored?
That’s quite an oversimplification
It needs to be taught to EVERY American citizen. Young and old!
April 19th 1775 happened because the British were sent to take/destroy all firearms, powder and ammo.
Those are the FACTS!
The British got what they deserved as do all others that follow in those British footsteps. Be it foreign or domestic.
We American citizens have a document that guarantees our right and the permission to defend that right no matter the cost!
Yep our founding fathers put up with a lot of other things and DID not want war, they wanted to still be English citizens, but the King wanted them disarmed... That's where the tide turned. Leave us to our own devices or face the consequences. We all know how it turned out and now such a disgrace to our founding fathers and veterans.
@@JamesThomas-gg6il The citizens are awakening.
Fear not.
@@robr1656 we don't need more woke people we need people that KNOW what to do.
We tried at least :( Rule Britannia

American Civil War 1
The British only wanted to give you a tea and stamp tax. Look at all the taxes you have now...
I get the joke but it didn’t become a shooting war until they tried to disarm us (yes I use “us” because my family was there during those fateful April Days
Well, it's all good, because if it wasn't for the U.S.A., the British would be a part of Greater Germany and they would all be speaking German!!!!!!!!
oi mate, you got a loiscense for tha opinion?
@@georgejcking it's even better now; we sucked up a couple of hundred years more of Tory policies unlike our family members across the pond- and we got so many wonderful things. The Met police ... Railways, the NHS and Boris Johnson.
The British pay a tv tax.
The Redcoats was also called the regulars.
Now, any people who have healthy digestive system, are having regulars.
This was the 1st battle of Lexington. The 3rd battle of Lexington is still going on until sometime before Pre-1 GOD show.
