The gentleman quoted as saying "An Englishman's home is his castle" was Jason Russell. He was killed on his doorstep along with 11 other militia members and two Grenadiers. The house with several musket ball holes still stands and can be visited here in Arlington.
This is the first time I've seen such a detailed breakdown of the battle of Lexington & Concord. I did not realize that the Colonists had such an organized defense that early in the conflict.
I’ve read a few books on this day. The minute men and militias were so ready! I didn’t realize before either about how much they drilled each week and were prepared for conflict! Before, I imagined it just being a skirmish that broke out, but now I learned how much the locals prepared and organized for such an event
@@michaelscherer6416and our current government HATES us citizen militia. The citizen militia prominently recognized in the U.S. Constitution. Government refuses to recognize they are under the people. Government HATES a people who are above them, control the government and every government employee and every property being owned by the people. Current government has multiple Bills they want to pass against The People and The People’s Militia. Government has unfairly demonized the citizens militia because it represents the ultimate authority over the government. The people have natural rights government can not ‘take away’ and government HATES that.
@@michaelscherer6416 And remember, members of the current Congress want to try and outlaw that same kind of training and preparation. That should scare anyone with half a brain.
Most of the local officers were either local notables or veterans of various wars and conflicts of the preceding years, the commander on Lexington green for example war a 7 year’s war veteran
This is an incredible narration! Even as an American, my heart goes out to the British mindset of WTF just happened!?! (After the first shot) and the terror of knowing the militia are rushing through the woods ahead of you before getting ambushed on the road. My emotions rose with the patriot mindset of (it’s on now, no turning back). Real people with real lives.
My 4 times great grandfather Captain James Neal fought in the Revolutionary War on the side of the Colonies. He also helped settle Charleston, Virginia, which is now West Virginia. The settlement was called Fort Neal, or Neal’s Corner.

It's nice to find a channel covering the American Revolution/War of Independence in such detail and quality. As a Pole, I'll be keeping an especially keen eye for the posible appearances of Kazimierz Pułaski and Tadeusz Kościuszko in the future videos. 😉
HistoryMarche is worth checking out. if you are into WWII then World War 2 with Indy Nidel is excellent. he does a weekly overview of the events of every week of the war. He is in September 1944 right now. He and his team did WWI prior to that and other historical events as well.
As a former member of the Sudbury Companies of Militia and Minute (1970s),who marched to re-enact Sudbury's effort to support Concord in 1975, I rejoice in viewing these videos. They are extremely well done. Live Free or Die!
@@HistoryRebels I was expecting to come to your channel and find a 10 part series but it's still coming out lol. I subscribed, and managed to get things done today after all.
First video and the quality is already right up there with the best history channels on youtube. I didn't know much about the revolution and you made everything clear and easy to understand. The graphics and animations are top notch too. Thank you for all your hard work.
Subbed and looking forward to the growth of this channel. I really appreciate your introduction and the way you even depict the brewing arguments *within* Great Britain and its parliament instead of just glossing over the buildup to the war.
Interesting to see the British perspective on this. Left out that the British were marching to disarm the militia of a cannon. That's why the militia knew where the British were headed. Also interesting to hear your take on the Boston Tea Party. They weren't protesting the increased price of smuggled tea, they were protesting the tax on tea. One other observation: I question your depiction of the British striking into the woods to address militia that was "hiding behind walls". The road and the walls are still there in some places. The walls the militia were hiding behind were no more than 20 feet (3 meters) from the British column. Not much chasing into the woods to be done. However, if you stop to engage, more will get shot as fighting against this kind of uprising is like trying to push the ocean back. The farther and longer you push, the wetter you get.
What an amazing underrated channel you guys are! I hope your channel takes off soon and you guys become really successful! Best videos I have seen on the American Revolutionary War on UA-cam that I have seen that covers the war in detail. First goal is to get you guys to take off with your coverage of the American Revolutionary War which is insanely under covered on UA-cam. But from there you really could cover so much more the way you guys are doing this. 18th century warfare is so under covered on UA-cam and you guys do it amazingly well! From I'd like to see you guys do this for the US Civil War, Napoleonic Wars, the war of 1812, 7 years/French and Indian war, the *British Civil War*, British and East India Company wars with the Indian Kingdoms/Princedoms and more! You guys are filling such a massive whole in the YT history industry! Great job guys, keep up the great work! You guys will take off soon if you keep up coverage like this!
Well told. In high school, I often rode my bike to Lexington. It was a place of significant history. The power of the historical significance was often palpable.
"Concorde" is a French supersonic jet airliner. "CONkerd" is the town where the battle took place. Source: I'm a local, it's as grating as calling the city of Worcester "war-chester" or the steak sauce "war-chester-shire"
Local names are always interesting, Lima, OH (Lime-a) vs Lima, Peru (Lee-ma). Newark (New-Urk) vs Newark (New-Ark), etc. I still have no idea when to say Louis (Lew-Iss) vs (Lew-ee), like Louisville.
Awesome presentation. Writing, editing, music and graphics all give the story of April 19th a thrilling treatment. Perfect choice of the announcer, too. Thank you!
Well done! I am over-thrilled! This is a great 20min over-all that included a lot of finer detail! Such as: the Militia reaction of "They are burning and plundering Concord! We must Save the People!" [Non-Verbatum] - but a detail that is crucial, and often never mentioned. Look forward to the Rest of the Series! - and for Equal Scales- I learned of Your channel through a comment of Epic History - and i Am so thankful, because this was wonderfully done!

Warmonger industry of firearms today, 2023, should be reversed. Do you see anybody terrorizing your village, town, city ? No ? “ The Second Amendment, ( or Bill of Rights ) ratified in 1791 “ A well regulated militia, being necessary to the Security of a free state……” need against fellow citizen ? Obvious hunters have rifles they hunt with. Seems handguns are products of mounting cowardness, racial misunderstanding, and lack of 10 Commandments of July 4, year 300 BC taught to younger, middle aged, and older folks. “scientific material madness,” as Jim McGuinn sang in a Byrds song, or, “Saturday night gun special,” sang by Ronnie Van Zant .
Awesome job. The only thing is that I heard the people there today consider the shots at Concord and the shot heard around the world because it was the first time Americans were ordered to fire on the British. Amazing job and I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next!
That's an ongoing argument, whether Lexington or Concord fired the first shots of the war. To me, it's Lexington that earned the credit. That's where the "mysterious" shot was fired that started an exchange of bullets. Many believe it was Sam Adam's who fired that shot; he always was a trouble-maker, and a member of The Sons of Liberty. Glad that we're all friends now and enjoy a "special relationship".
Best video i have seen on the topic. Amazing presentation of facts and details in a relatively short span of time with no annoying pro USA or post modern bias. I usually give pessimistic criticism on videos like this but not this one. Bravo!
It would be cool to see a map with constant names, because as a foreign I get lost on were is "Yorktown" was or "Lexington" and so on. Anyway, great video, thank you for sharing it.
This is an excellent video and well balanced with views of the conflict from both sides. One important detail shown here that I never fully realized: The Colonial Militia in Lexington did not block the road. Both sides were being drawn to war while holding back in small ways.
Remember in Black Hawk Down when the soldiers ran alongside the rescue convoy to safety while getting shot at the whole way? L&C was its 18th equivalent
I just found this video after reading The French and Indian War by Walter Borneman. This fits perfectly for a real great job, just like Epic History TV & Kings & Generals and the other history channels. The same attention to detail, you just got a new subscriber.
Just terrific! Great content, great detail, and even as a Baystater and avid reader of the Revolution, you've included things I wasn't aware of. I really enjoy retellings of the war and period from u.k. sources as they don't seem penned in to include american 'lore' of versions of history that we were given in elementary school.
Thanks very much Jae! Comments like this really motivate me forward :). I really hope the series can capture an honest and even handed perspective of the war. Look out for the next episode on the Battle of Long Island! Coming in about 4 weeks time
@@HistoryRebels Long Island? I hope you're not going to skip Saratoga!! I feel like it's a pivotal moment in the development of the character of what it is to be American; visavis “… the most brilliant soldier of the Continental Army who was desperately wounded on this spot … winning for his countrymen the decisive battle of the American Revolution and for himself the rank of Major General.” with that victory, reluctant allies [namely france] determined the rebel cause was worth supporting. … and keep up the good work!!
@@jaewok5G completely agree! I can’t wait to get into Saratoga, it definitely won’t be missed. I’ll do Long Island and then Trenton/Princeton for 1776, and then we’ll get right into Saratoga :)

at 17:48 that is the battle at Jason Russell's house. 25 of the 49 americans lost in Menotomy died on that farm. still stands today. great museum. everyone should go if theyre in town
Thanks to this video, I did a quick read on William Pitt. I like him. Seemed sensible. I'm also American. I wonder what his reaction of American Independence would've been had he lived long enough to see it.
My wife's ancestor was a Minute Man and was killed by the first volley of British shots at Concord Bridge. One of my ancestors, fought in the Southern Theater and was a Lt. Colonel in the North Carolina Militia at Kings Mountain and Cowpens. A little known fact of the Amrican Revolution is Britain's need for cash after the virtual bancruptcy of the British Eash India Company,
No, it was the virtual bankruptcy of the seven years war, which they had fought for the colonies and the British governments hesitation to advance Westerly to take lands which belonged to France.
Anyone else reminded a bit of the Teutoberg forest there at the end? A disciplined force of regulars on a road slowly getting picked off by a lesser armed but determined group fighting in their home woods?
Hey Rebel you should’ve went through both the major battles and the lesser known battles of the revolution like the seizure of Fort Ticonderoga and the early battles down south in 1775
The gentleman quoted as saying "An Englishman's home is his castle" was Jason Russell. He was killed on his doorstep along with 11 other militia members and two Grenadiers. The house with several musket ball holes still stands and can be visited here in Arlington.

The “one if by land two if by sea” thing only made sense to me once I saw that boston used to be a peninsula before the bay was filled in
Reminds me of Heth at Gettysburg, "It started out as a minor scrap with a few militia--next thing i know Im tangled with half the Union Army."😮
good history channel....well done ! :-]
Been waiting so long for a channel to cover the revolutionary war and hopefully the civil war. And your first video is so well produced. Good job guys
This is what I have been waiting for😊
