Lexington & Concord: The Revolutionary War in Four Minutes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 кві 2020
- In honor of the 245th Anniversary of the Battle of Lexington & Concord, we are releasing a new American Battlefield Trust branded version of our Lexington & Concord In4. Join Jim Percoco as he details the history behind "the shot heard 'round the world."
Jim Percoco is a fantastic speaker and reminds me of some of better teachers and professors I've had over the years.
I think I could listen to that guy lecture about the history of watching paint dry and I'd still be thrilled to hear what he knows on the subject.
Thanks for the upload!
They serve as an inspiration for all Americans to this day! Today is the 245th anniversary of the battle.
Cj R Hoorah for the Bonnie Blue flag that bears a single star.

“When our rights were threaten, the cry grew near and far, hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears the single star”
The British Army’s first mistake was thinking that they could disarm the citizens. Their second mistake was firing upon the citizens and proving why the citizens needed to be armed in the first place.
Honestly, I think one of the colonists fired the first shot.
Never surrender your arms
and legs
Lesson to be learned by friend and foe alike, NEVER try to take guns away from an American.
You arent very smart 😂
Umm...this battle had nothing to do with anyone threatening to take the colonists' arms...lol. Nothing. At. All.
@@mrwooster8571 Read the history, that is ALL it was about.
wow. Just wow. This takes me back to high school is so many ways.
We read aloud “Paul Revere’s Ride” every evening of 4/18 and did it again last night. What a sequence of events! Good on all the civilians turned soldiers that gathered that fateful day, 245 years ago. I’m proud to be an American, on days like these especially.
Thing is that Paul Revere wasn't the only rider, there was 4 more including Sybil Ludington who warned even more than Revere, she warned 400 militiamen that the British were coming to raid a important supply depot for the colonists
@@mckinleydiamond40 , you are so right. Revere lives in our memories due to Longfellow, but many others played a great role as well. William Dawes lived a great life after he rode the southern route and his grandson commanded a Union regiment at Gettysburg. Thanks for the information on your hero, Sybil.
Thanks for sharing this, that';s awesome!
that beginning little flute and drum beat was fire
Never give up your guns if you want to be free.
You may have my weapons only when i enter the gates of elysium.
Lmaoo, you dumb yokels are too funny 😂 😂 😂
@@Cienfuegos. You dumb collectivists are too funny.
Considering what happened on January 6th I’m not giving up all my guns so a mob can bust down my door one day with no dire consequences
@@hillbillyscholar8126 awww, the yokel knows how to write 🥺🥺🥺
It would nice to get animated battlefield maps of the revolutionary war! I'm not american and i'd love to learn about it
Accurate, concise, and awesome!
not accurate or concise.
Tedbrown7908 it’s ok you’ll grow up one day
@@tedbrown7908 for trying to compress useful and relevant information down to less than a five minutes video. Which, unfortunately is about the maximum attention span of our young people today thanks to all of us adults. The presenter did a pretty good job.
If you think you can do better, please create your own film.
Happy Patriots’ Day! (for those of us in Mass)
being from Indiana, I celebrate it too! Many thanks to the brave militiamen of Mass on this glorious day back in 1775!
@@pcjones5508
Me too out in California... Too many forget that a bunch of pissed off farmers and tradesmen in Massachusetts were the catalyst for our independence.
@Ami du Canada
But... They invaded you...
It's celebrated in Florida, Oklahoma and Virginia as well.
LOVE THE MUSIC!! SO INSPIRATIONAL!!
When you have had enough...
And now we’re throwing it all away.
I love this story!
thanks!!
Concord supplied the ground, Acton supplied the men
& Lexington took all the credit.
LFOD !
Bravo!
We've lost our freedoms and no shots were fired!
i dont know why my fourth grade class showed me that picture of those dudes bullying a feather man 😂👌
Britain's own Black Hawk Down?
Fact correction, There is proof of where that shot came from. Why are the historians refusing to admit that that shot came from the musket of Solomom Brown who was at Buckman's tavern front door when he fired that shot. Even British historians have admitted that it was Brown. I am the first cousin 8 times removed from Solomon and I have the eye witness and other documentation of the events that took place that day. I lost three relatives that day and they are buried there on the Green.
If you still haven't published your documentation, nobody believes you
@@mesofius go to the either the Lexington or Vermont historical societies. They have my entire family ancestry and there you'l find the complete documentation.
@@tedbrown7908 They didn't let you make a copy and you didn't bother to publish it?
@@mesofius ... ??
This is very interesting. Saw your response on Boston1775 blog. That's amazing historical significance.
hey who did that?
Our guys would be pissed if they knew we allowed things to escalate to the point they have now.
so, so true.
A great story for the second amendment for the right to bear arms.
Music is too loud and distracting.
And here today, where it all began, cowards and communist want to piss on the graves our heroic founding fathers. As one of the best ever said...
"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
- Benjamin Franklin
Could it be possible that those heroic founding fathers were just gun fodder for those who wanted a bloody clash between the King's troops and a militia committing treason on the orders of Samuel Adams? The more I look at what happened there the more confused I become. Somebody is not telling the truth.
@@johndavidhobson8229 try reading the Federalist Papers.
That was good
Great teacher and passionate presentation! I want to hear him. Please turn down background music! Thank you!
No Mention of Menotomy? A Turkey shoot! 13 British soldiers perish?
the lobsterbacks got theirs on the way to boston...
Can you imagine CNN covering it?
"BREAKING: bigoted patriots randomly attack and fire on helpless redcoats"
@@lainebrock18 Point Brock!
wrong every man on lexington green were british
chile what
The People lead, the Leaders followed. That is why we don't have any Leaders in these troubled times. The People must lead and sacrifice on their own first.
The shot heard round the world was at Lexington Green, not Concord.
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS
four minutes dis five
This is very much 5 minutes
I had to stop watching because the background music is too loud and distracting.

Who is here because of school?
me I'm looking for answers in the comments
I wish more where.
just you, everyone else is an adult
This is 5 minutes long 😮😑
It is a pity that this event is not described with the objectivity it demands. The battle leaves us with so many unanswered questions that should puzzle historians but don't. Why? Just one question as an illustration. The video mentions the burning of gun carriages in Concord. Could those be the carriages for the three 24-pounder siege guns found buried in the courtyard of the Concord Gaol? Why would a militia have or have need of such massive guns? They can not be described as defensive weapons. Where did the militia obtain such weapons? How did they transport them across country unnoticed? Then again, may be General Gage knew they were there and that was the reason he sent a small army of Regulars and Loyalist volunteers to Concord. Could it be that General Gage was ordered to take action against what can only be described as treason. Shouldn't there be some attempt to seek the truth?
Hope there is sarcasm in this comment
Yes, context indeed. It's almost as if a government used the colonies as nothing more than natural resource sources, taxed them on top of that, gave them no real meaningful form of representation in government, stripped them of there ability to defend themselves against foreign forces and domestic predators alike and then didn't understand why the colonists started making their own weapons to protect themselves and sought self government. 🤷🏼♂️
Stay in England tory
A criticism: the music is competing with the story. Lose it.
Oy. Shut that music off.
Difficult to listen to. Unfortunate because it is important.
All i can hear is the fife blaring. Nice quality, very professional production. Dont quit your dayjobs. Oh, these ARE your dayjobs? Really?!
Why doesn’t anyone mention the right to bare arms!
I love bare arms! Especially in the summer!
I want the right to arm bears.
I don't think anybody in their right mind would consider three 24 pounder siege guns in that category. Each one weighed 5600 pounds and required 8-10 men to operate and a team of six horse to pull them. What was the Concord Militia doing with those weapons?
@@johndavidhobson8229 planning to use it against the British
The Anti-Christ we have now better take heave !!
