Long live liberty. Once gone it's very difficult to obtain. These men obtained it for us long ago. Salute to all those brave patriots. May they never be forgotten.
As always, your tales of forgotten, history are well worth listening to for everyone. No matter what the contribution to the cause of the American revolution. These people deserve to be remembered. Obviously, some of the characters have disappeared into history. It may be totally forgotten, which is a shame. The irony is that 150 years later The country that had been the English colonies had to help Great Britain recover from World War I and some 30 to 40 years later had to save the country from the Nazis of Germany. Thank you for your attention to detail. It is much appreciated.
You Americans have such great and complex history that fascinates even non-westerners, like me. It's a pity more of you guys t nd to disdain your own history or revise it for weird ideological reasons. Thank goodness for channels like this.
Interesting how we again find ourselves standing at the thresholds of a shift in American history again. May we have the fortitude to meet the challenge once again.
The way people wrote about their friendships back then sounds more intimate to our modern ears. Many people confuse the language between friends to be more than friendship. Most likely the letters to Hamilton were strictly platonic.
Maybe..... we honestly would never know. And ultimately, we can't presume one way or the other what happened. So much of history is sanitized to fit into self serving narratives.
Agree that the Laurens name was not one that I recall hearing, both father and son did their part and payed the price of our little experiment in self governing.
Fun fact: in my hometown in NW Ohio, there's a small river named Little Lick Creek, which flows into the larger Lick Creek. As it turns out, the two rivers are named after a local Revolutionary War hero named "Lick Talbert." I only know this myself because i was friends with one of his decedents in High School. His middle name is also Lick in commemoration,
If you ever do another follow-up video, please consider Mordecai Gist, a brigadier general during the war. They say he saved Washington's butt during the Battle of Brooklyn. Gist was also at Yorktown. Some historians say he is one of the most important (but neglected) figures in Revolutionary history. I'm fascinated with the guy because he's in my family tree, a first cousin about 12 times removed.
Is this the same Gist that acted as a guide to Washington as he explored NW Pa on his way to Ft Lebeof and saved him from freezing in the Allegheny River?
12 times removed, im not english or amarican does that means 12 generations back in time? or twelve serperated by uncles and cousisns. it always confuses me.
For me public school history is very propaganda oriented and I hated history in school Two years later started reading history on my own and loved to follow my historical interests in US and world history. It opened the door to many topics.
Casimir Pulaski is another forgotten one. He is the father of the American Cavalry and is one of very few foreign-born persons who received an honorary American citizenship. Also, Israel Putnam is not well known and Joseph Plumb Martin is almost criminally forgotten nowadays . And of course, here in South Carolina, we know of Edward Rutledge, even though many others have forgotten him.
Is that a storm trooper I see riding a buffalo on the shelf? And is that a Prince Harry bobblehead? I love how you continually change the shelves behind you 😊
The history of the birth and wonder of the United States of America is so rich and fascinating. It is a tapestry of people and multiple situations that made our existence possible, thanks to many brave, intelligent, and resourceful individuals coming together under the general causes of independence and self-determination.
A few suggestions include. The history of Fort Knox in Maine, a skirmish in Vermont with rebel sympathizers during the Civil War. A history of maple syrup and the various products made from it. Various stories can be told of the many railroads that networked New England.
Our history SHOULD be remembered. It shouldn't be re-written to fit a certain narrative. The folks who fought, sacrificed and even died for our Freedom, should be more than a name haphazardly mentioned somewhere or a statue to be torn down. It's our history: our story.
I often wondered why no one besides me seemed to realize that until the Constitution was finally approved we actually had a barely functioning government of any kind. Thank you for showing it in such great detail and explaining it so well.
Andrew Pickens, leader of the militia at Cowpens, and the only militiaman to be presented with a sword by the Continental Congress. Known as the Fighting Elder for his Presbyterian faith. Francis Marion was a boss too, in fame 2nd only to Washington by the close of the war. Elijah Clarke, Thomas Sumter, John Paul Jones, Isaac Shelby, John Sevier, Samuel Nichols, Arthur and Henry Middleton, Henry Laurens, Christopher Gadsden..........so many heroes have been forgotten today
Fun fact: during the war, three militiamen captured an informant for Benedict Arnold (named John André) outside Tarrytown, New York. Their names were John Paulding, Isaac Van Wart and David Williams. They were honored by having 3 of the 4 NW-most Counties in Ohio named after them: Paulding, Van Wert, & Williams (the other being Defiance, which is another story). Van Wert is notably spelled wrong (as it should be Van Wart instead), and while surviving family members have tried to get it changed, they have thusfar been unsuccessful.
He was tried and hanged as a spy in 1780 while Benedict Arnold got away. André, as a Major in the British army died in the service of his country, while Arnold lived out his days as a traitor. 😔
Any chance on an episode about Joseph Warren? Other than in Massachusetts (Boston) & a few other pockets of New England, he is a Son of Liberty that has been quite forgotten.
My unsung hero was "Mad" Anthony Wayne. He was Washington's logistical officer, who took many pains under difficult circumstances to personally see the troops were fed, especially at Valley Forge.
Great series of episodes. Some of the individuals are new to me and others I have known of from studies. Haym Salomon is an interesting Patriot in his own right. Technically, Hercules Mulligan did not emigrate to the United States as they were not formed yet as states. He emigrated to the British Colonies. Prior to the Unjust American Rabble's Criminal Revolt Against the Totally Just and Righteous Crown Of King Georgie the Colonies, Patriots used the term United Colonies. Specifically, Mulligan lived in the Ex-Dutch colony of a land formerly known as New Amsterdam that had become New York City, future home to the New York Yankees and the United Nations. United States of America was first used formally by declaration on September 9, 1776. Technically President George Washington was the first Constitutional President of the United States of America. During the period of The Articles of Confederation, was United States of America still used? What other countries have America formally in their name, both past and present? Wentworth Cheswell has a History deserving of being remembered.

"Young man, what we meant in going for those Redcoats was this: we always had governed ourselves and we always meant to. They didn't mean we should." - Captain Levi Preston of Danvers, Massachusetts
Everyone knows Lafayette, yet there other French commanders and troops who were crucial such as Admiral de Grasse and Comte de Rochambeau. They seem to be a bit overlooked.
Please also consider doing a segment on the Mesabi Range and the Iron Range of Minnesota. Involvement of the Iron Range in the Rockefeller-Carnegie rivalry would be a particularly interesting history to remember, as would the legacy of this crucial resource when it comes to the ascension of America as an industrial powerhouse.
Hope that more of these forgotten heroes of the American Revolution are talked about. History gets oversimplified and those early patriots played important roles, even if they were not later lionized for historical propaganda. Zinn's - A peoples history of the USA, did a good job talking outside the official narrative and this episode got me thinking of rereading his book.
Will you do a video on the countless revolutions that broke out after the civil war against the federalists? My 5th great grandfather led such a revolution in western Pennsylvania. William McAlavey
I would love for you to do an episode or few(there's material galore) on the area where North America's History "that deserves to be remembered" was decided! Namely Washington County NY! It is the Crossroads of the Continent, the "portage". You could defend your Gen. St. Clair for running away at Ft. Ticonderoga as per Alexander Hamilton's father-in-law's(Schuyler) near total war orders. Don't forget this " area" was Schuyler's backyard. The area is rife with intriguing events that all could be the "Turning Point" of the Revolution ie; Jane McCrae and the whole propaganda of Burgoyne's decree to his allies "go forth in the might of valour and your cause;--strike at the common enemies of Great Britain and America---".
Now I know why administration building in for the University of Massachusett in Amherst is named Whitemore. Thanks History Guy! Ps. How about a video about (early) Haiti. One of it's ĺeaders served in French the Army during the seige of Charleston, South Carolina.
Yep, it definitely needs to be remembered. With what we're going to see tomorrow this country and it's people has allowed the destruction of what the founders based this country with.
Destruction? Hardly. If this country was founded on a proposition that we are all equal as citizens, charging one of those citizens for the crimes he has committed only reinforces the original intents of the founders. That the person being charged has lead a life of privileged and wealth should have no bearing on whether his crimes can be prosecuted. Do not fall under the mistaken belief that prosecuting a former President is in someway abhorrent to our country. We have previously prosecuted a Vice President, Spiro Agnew, for financial crimes not dissimilar to the charges to be press on Tuesday.
@@luannnelson2825 Hush money? You mean using money to pay someone to not speak? How is that in any way to ensure an election? Trump was, if anything, just trying to hide this from his wife. Which i wont say is a good thing but i can assure you this happens every day. But since you all seem to repeat the standard line of "no one is above the law" then we can all agree to start indicting everyone in government. After all they've been there (most of them) for decades and have somehow amounted millions in wealth. Fair is fair right? At least the precedent is now set.
the presidents of the continental congress, were just that, the continental congress presidents. Then United States were formed and President George Washington.
My GGGGGGG Grandfather Cpt John Adams Files fought in the Revolutionary War he was in the SC Militia 🇺🇸 I'm sure my Forefathers would be saddened by the way we're letting our Freedom being given away 😢 he died in 1781 he was only 43 he's buried in Shoals Junction 🇺🇸
How about you do a video on Loyalists. There is quite a story about them and what happened to them. My family were Loyalists and fled to New Brunswick. Here's another twist in the story. New Brunswick was not even part of Canada! It was many years later that it was taken into Canada.
@TheHistoryGuyChannel Perhaps he would have known several members of my family ( several were Sons of Liberty and one was even the president of the Stamp Act Congress) and also my family's first cousins the Adams. My family arrived on this continent I believe in 1629 and 1632 in two migrations. One of my ancestral grandfather's arrived in the first migration I mentioned with his uncle and then his parents arrived in the subsequent migration. Our family has been on this continent for almost four hundred years now. My great-grandfather x 4 was Captain Edward "the Minuteman" Ruggles and he served under General George Washington. Our family was divided though in this war and Edward's brother was Brigadier General Sir Timothy Ruggles the father of Bathsheba Ruggles Spooner. I believe that's why many things in Boston and in the Boston area are named after my family.
My mother's maiden name is Whittemore. I'm not claiming any descendency from Samuel Whittemore. My main focus is that all of her family pronounce it whit-a-more.🤷♂️
Life, faculties, production - in other words, individuality, liberty, property - this is man. ... What, then, is law? Bastiat might make for subject matter to inspire a video or two.
The subsequent atrocities that Burgoyne's order would be blamed for helped sway the "colonist" to turn out in the thousands, thus capturing an entire British Army!🇺🇸
I'd be interested to know what story UKers learned in school about Benedict Arnold. Or how much was the American Revolution discussed? Still it might be hard to say in the end if he helped or hindered it.
Other than the coy statement that the "winners get to write history," can you tell me why we are not about the anti-federalist papers in school like we are taught about the federalist papers? When I have asked about with public school teachers, they seem to focus on the slavery issue rather than the debate where real power of our young nation should rest. I'm of the personal opinion that Hamilton wanted a strong centralized government so he could control it for his industrial interests, especially in urban centers. Jefferson, et. al., advocated for real power to rest in the states. Why don't they teach about this in high school in the U.S.? It would be a great see a set of videos from to really examine the debate, lay out the back and forth publishings and arguments therein, help Americans to see that the federal government's headlong slide into an unwieldy behemoth started with Hamilton and his supporters.
Hello THG, Would you be interested in doing a story on: As Master Mason of the Masonic order, George Washington was the First Plant in the USA government. Sadly, they, the company, then burnt down the Captial Buildings, forgetting to store them in the cloud, haha, but in reality, they held all the documents, claiming they were destroyed, so they could rewrite them all. The World Capital, now located in Astana, Kazakhstan, was built about 19 years ago. The usual suspects are located there: Pyramid, Obelisk (a tall pillar with a Pyramid on the top), Capital Buildings, symbolism all over, and the New World Building, where the designees of the Gray Papal Bloodlines meet to discuss the uniting of the Religious orders of the world and all countries of the world, under the World Flag. Three key sovereign empire city-states are used to rule the world: 1. Vatican City for religion and spirituality, 2. Inner City London used to control money through the central banking system and big business through the stock markets, and 3. Washington DC, the Industrial Military Complex with military bases worldwide, seas, and now in space.
The war in the colonies was exceptional in that it was a multi generational people not in the country of origin. It was a war of independence. It was to maintain the culture and way of life they had established. All revolutions ended horribly because it was a bad idea. French revolution, Russian revolution etc.
The best and only history guy that inspired my daughter to study history so thank you very much for making your program
American history is better than anything on TV. You couldn't make up a crazier tale.
Excellent job History Guy!!
Long live liberty. Once gone it's very difficult to obtain. These men obtained it for us long ago. Salute to all those brave patriots. May they never be forgotten.
That Samuel Whittemore was one tough SOB I can't believe he survived all that

It's definitely past due. Taxation without representation is putting it mildly. These idiots don't represent me.
💔🇺🇸💔 History isn't taught anymore this generation has no idea what our Forefathers even fought and died for 😢 it's getting worse every day.

The number of heroes in human events vastly exceeds the number that are celebrated.
Great comment!
Especially when you take into account, half of those we celebrate were really not even heroes. Just piece of 💩 people
5:40 reminds me that for as long as humans have been raising monuments, humans have been pulling them down again.
Thank you. These are most interesting and fill in the gaps that most of us just don’t notice.

Andr'e was not an INFORMANT. He was a comissioned British officer, which is why he was hung as a spy, being out of uniform when taken.
I am 51 years old and with all the documentaries i have seen never knew about the spanish helping us during the revolutionary war
Loved this episode, learned a whole bunch of forgotten history, was surprised to learn of Spain's part in our revolution..
Whittemore was one tough old man jeez
This is just my opinion, I prefer this format better than the podcast format, just my preference! Thanks, blessings!
Any chance on an episode about Joseph Warren? Other than in Massachusetts (Boston) & a few other pockets of New England, he is a Son of Liberty that has been quite forgotten.
Good call. Daniel Morgan and Peter Fernandez would make excellent topics as well.
The men and women of the culper ring are usually forgotten heroes. Some of them have never been identified
Death was too scared to come get Whitemore. xD That what my grandpa would call "one tough ole cuss".
Samuel Whittemore: "You magnificent bastard!"
Great memories Guy. Much enjoyed! 👍
A great storyteller here, Ty.
Please do an episode about Earthquake McGoon. America needs to remember his heroism in Indo China.
If only we have the same love of country today.
My unsung hero was "Mad" Anthony Wayne. He was Washington's logistical officer, who took many pains under difficult circumstances to personally see the troops were fed, especially at Valley Forge.

Not to nit pic but I guess I am, the family immigrated to the British colony of New York not the United States.
Perhaps a video on the founder of American Liberty and Independence….James Otis, Jr.?
Another great idea would be the history of the Moose river valley and Moosehead Lake regions in Maine
Cato is buried in Plymouth. He settled there after the war.

When I have asked about with public school teachers, they seem to focus on the slavery issue rather than the debate where real power of our young nation should rest. I'm of the personal opinion that Hamilton wanted a strong centralized government so he could control it for his industrial interests, especially in urban centers. Jefferson, et. al., advocated for real power to rest in the states. Why don't they teach about this in high school in the U.S.? It would be a great see a set of videos from to really examine the debate, lay out the back and forth publishings and arguments therein, help Americans to see that the federal government's headlong slide into an unwieldy behemoth started with Hamilton and his supporters.
I wish schools still taught history not just White Man bad !
Hello 😊
Hello THG, Would you be interested in doing a story on:
As Master Mason of the Masonic order, George Washington was the First Plant in the USA government. Sadly, they, the company, then burnt down the Captial Buildings, forgetting to store them in the cloud, haha, but in reality, they held all the documents, claiming they were destroyed, so they could rewrite them all.
The World Capital, now located in Astana, Kazakhstan, was built about 19 years ago. The usual suspects are located there: Pyramid, Obelisk (a tall pillar with a Pyramid on the top), Capital Buildings, symbolism all over, and the New World Building, where the designees of the Gray Papal Bloodlines meet to discuss the uniting of the Religious orders of the world and all countries of the world, under the World Flag.
Three key sovereign empire city-states are used to rule the world: 1. Vatican City for religion and spirituality, 2. Inner City London used to control money through the central banking system and big business through the stock markets, and 3. Washington DC, the Industrial Military Complex with military bases worldwide, seas, and now in space.
The war in the colonies was exceptional in that it was a multi generational people not in the country of origin. It was a war of independence. It was to maintain the culture and way of life they had established. All revolutions ended horribly because it was a bad idea. French revolution, Russian revolution etc.
If this is the Arthur St. Claire who surrendered Ticonderoga he pronounced it Sinclair

We are living in the days our founders knew would come. That I'd why they wrote the bill of rights. Especially the 2nd one.
What about Tench Tilghman? Thanks.
