    I heard that the "combat training" most Americans had in the early part of the Revolution came from their skills as hunters. When the English came through in the months before the war and demanded the colonists give up their guns, it wasn't well received as a lot of people in the undeveloped wilderness relied on hunting to survive, and further swayed public opinion against the British.

      @@13jhow Very true. But it was also made up of normal dads, farmers, couriers, pastors and blacksmiths, etc... Many veterans have valuable training and experience, but it is useless if that knowledge is not shared with the everyday Citizen. Or if we try and put veterans in a special box and say they are somehow entitled to different rights that civilians aren't (insert Dakota Myer, Tim Kennedy, etc) Make no mistakes- Citizens fought this war. Cannons and warships used by the colonies were majority-owned by citizens. Citizens are the Militia. And lucky for the Minutemen- those veterans were willing to help train and muster the everyday man. (Not discounting veterans- I too did my time. But I am just a dirty civilian now and advocate for civilians learning and training as much as they can.)

    What's funny though is that the "Americans" were actually all still British citizens so Paul Revere didn't yell out "The British are coming" but instead he told people the "Regulars" were coming. Also, chances are, he didn't go galloping through the night shouting it because secrecy would have been needed to try to get the drop on the redcoats.

French Allied Forces included: 10,800 soldiers, and 2 naval fleets with escort ships. The Spanish had 12,000 soldiers, and 1 fleet with escorts. There is no figure on American-supporting Native American troops. The British had 48,000 soldiers, and an unknown number of task force fleets & blockading squadrons.

    Im a very patriotic American (Also love our brothers in the UK) First off to the old "rag tag group beating the greatest professional army of the day" type talk. A lot of them legitemitley were very untrained (militarily speaking) but were very knowledgable fronteirsmen who knew the land inside and out as well as extreme profeciency with rifled weapons that were more suited for hunting big game than the british smoothbore muskets.
    Also the most important point, although SOME of the militias were just that many of them and especially in the convential Contential Army were former professional soldiers themselves who had fought for the British in the French and Indian War here in NA( Washington was British officer at this time) , or the 7 Years war for everyone else.
    These guys were very very good, just as good as any British line infantry. They knew their tactics, how they fought, their military doctirine, basically everything the British army knew how to do the Contental Army would be just as capable, but not able to execute as effecivley do to massive logistical problems, and to be fair both sides suffered logistically. With that said the industial capability of the British Empire could have EASILY crushed the revolution if it truly commited to it. This is not to diminish the exploints of Washington's army they performed far beyond expectation especially given the circumstances they would face.

    18:45 Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and other contributors to the American War of Independence actually tried to end slavery with the very birth of the country. One of the planned grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence was to be a paragraph against the horrors of shipping people from Africa to be enslaved in America against their will, but it was omitted by the insistence of southern states that relied much more on slave labor than the north. The War of Independence required the unity of all of the thirteen colonies/states, and so the efforts against slavery were moved to lower priority out of necessity, but the Founding Fathers actually did try to right this wrong at the start. That piece is usually left out of history lessons to paint them as more hypocritical than they in fact were, and many of them did go on to free their slaves in their wills. They really did try, and they purposefully set up the United States of America's Declaration of Independence and Constitution with the foundation of values and inalienable rights as a basis for the eventual abolition of slavery, because they knew that war would have to be fought.

    The revolutionary war was actually one of the first widespread uses of snipers in combat between professional militaries. The Rebels learned it from the Native Americans and being primarily hunters, they used what they knew. British officers tended to look extra fancy, so one or two rebels would hide in the trees and target the officers, destabilizing the British command structure which was very important to the rigid combat formations of the British.

    That little scene with the Tomahawk actually happened. It was before the French and Indian War. The land sparked an interest to the Ohio Company of Virginia to purchase the land from the British for westward expansion of settlers. To make the story shorter. Washington and a militia company were sent along with an allied group of Mingo Indians toward Fort Duquesne, a French installation near modern-day Pittsburgh. The French sent out a small party under Joseph de Jumonville as a diplomatic mission with strict orders to avoid a fight unless provoked. Well Washington chose to surround the French party and opened fire, killing several.
    Most surrendered, at that point Washington's Native counterpart, known as The Half King, wielded a Tomahawk into De Jumonville's head, killing him. No state of war had been declared.
    It was soon after this event that Washington surrendered in humiliation at Fort Necessity. Washington was lucky, his inability to control his Native Allies and the assassination of a prisoner constitutes a war crime I would think in the eyes of the French.

    I'm in Philadelphia, and I cut my teeth on the history of the city, including trips to Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. To this day, I walk the older streets and take it in. And yet I had no idea that the British captured the city until I watched Oversimplified. It was that inconsequential that it's barely mentioned. Peggy Shippen's role in Benedict Arnold's treachery is more well known than 'that time the city was captured.'

    Paul revere's ride was heavily embellished by Longfellow, long after it happened. Paul Revere and William dawes set out not yelling "The British are coming", they went to specific homes quietly to spread the word. They did pick up another guy, and revere and dawes were captured, but the 3rd guy managed to spread the word all the way.

    I don't know if has already been pointed out, but the 1763 Tea Act actually lowered the price on tea in the colonies. That has always made me laugh. The price of tea lowered, but we didn't get a say and could only buy from one importer, so we revolted.
    And you should definitely react to Part 2.

    The "untrained" militia of Massachusetts had actually know many years of off and on wars; including the so called Indian wars in the century prior. There is a book called "The name of war" by historian Jill Lepore that looks at this and examines the long term impact it had on American culture. It's well worth the read.

    Remember that the 7 Years War wasn't that long before this, and a lot of the untrained rebels were veterans of that war. They might not have been up to the standards of British Regulars, but the militias a fair number of men who were trained and experienced soldiers. In the contact at Lexington, the militia was drawn up in a classic European battle line. At Concord, the militia battle line - firing in volleys - shattered the British blocking force and kicked off their retreat back to Boston. There was a lot of harassment and guerilla fighting during the retreat, of course.

    3:30 Part of the issue here, is that American settlers on the frontier did as much, if not more, for the defense of the colonies from France. Hence why the colonies are pissed off by the taxes, along with getting no say on their being levied on colonists.

  • @jneumy566
    @jneumy566 2 роки тому

    Also, they're now saying that Paul Revere never shouted "the British are coming" for a couple of reasons. One, the ride to warn the towns of the British was a stealth mission since the British troops were in the area and they wouldn't want to let them know that they knew they were coming. Second, Paul Revere rode with two other people. Along the way, the three were stopped by a British patrol but one, not Revere, managed to get away and was the only one who completed the entire journey. Revere and the other rider that got stopped were forced to turn back.

    To be fair, the tax legislation, although pretty heavy handed, was pretty justifiable. Also, many colonials saw this coming so it not like the taxes blindsided them. The colonials had the right to protest some of them doing things a bit more extreme but protests, none the less. It's The Kings response to those protests with the Intoleable Acts that, imo justified the Revolution.

    • @cheasepriest

      Just learned this fact about the Boston Massacre. The soldiers were put on trial, and they were defended by John Adams, and he won the trial for them.
      Also ben franklin was in contact with the king frequently, and was often in Britain to meet him. when the king asked about the taxes, Ben franklin told him everything was fine and the people thought it was a good idea, so the brits were shocked when it didn't work.
      The colonists didnt pay a single one of the taxes, and the brits never bothered to collect until the whole empire was on the brink of collapse that would have caused massive food shortages, trade disputes and maybe a world war.
      So they decided to collect on 1 tax. Tea.
      And the various actions like the sugar act and tea tax, made buying things cheaper for the colonists, as rather than being ripped off by third party merchents they paid a set price on a regulated market. they just didn't like the fact they didnt have a choice in the matter.
      After all that mess it's no wonder the brits decided to keep a grip on inda rather than the americas, india was profitable, and the americas were a nightmare to deal with.

    Many of the Colonists were fighting English style just less effectively and amateurishly, but their sharpshooters and more effective guerrilla style fighting became more predominant and tided them over until the army became a professional threat in a standing firing line battle at the end of the war.

  • @1krani
    @1krani 2 роки тому +1

    How did they force back a well-trained army?
    Initially, it was because the Brits were outnumbered and unprepared for a pitched battle. Then things got EXTRA ugly when one Militia Brig. General William Heath showed up and invented the "moving ring of fire" tactic. Runners were dispatched so the arriving militia would hold to the east and wait. When the redcoats were within range, the ring closed around them and subjected them to a near-constant hail of gunfire from all directions for the remaining duration of the retreat, until they were rescued outside of Boston by reinforcements.

    Broken oyster shells are sharp and can cut. That’s probably why they were placed in the snowballs. They would cause a cut and the ice would make it sting.
    Oh and when they fought the regulars on the way back to Boston they developed a rolling fire. A string of men would form up and fire one at a time moving up after the last man fired. They would then fall back into the trees and reload and regroup down the road.
