I like that they showed Dickinson in uniform and on horseback.
He didn't support Independence, but he did put his life on the line for it when it became a fact.
He was arguably also one of the wealthiest individuals in the colonies. He had so much to lose, and did not agree with the pace of declaring Revolution, but the moment his countrymen committed themselves to that decision, he was immediately there to back them up, at the risk of his own life and fortune.
A great moment in history that deserves to be remembered. It is well served in that, by how this marvellous TV series portrays events and the great characters behind them.
Those who don't understand history are doomed to repeat it
...and then Washington on the continent and Franklin in Paris had to pull a 'miracle' out of their a&&es...
And that they achieved.
@@kate2create738 Thank God or good fortune or whatever for the right people in the right places at the right time!
Never gets old.
God Bless America
HBO needs to re-broadcast this series.
I believe it would help modern Americans understand our country much better.
The courage of them all astounds me all the time.
They would have been tried for treason and executed if they failed.
need to read the grievances against tyrannical george, as they are listed in the declaration
AMEN . . AMEN LONG LIVE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
I saw a John Hancock!!!
to paraphrase John Hancock on his signature- "there, they ought to see it now!" (very large and bold signature).
i could watch that long pause 100 times.
Declaring independence from the United Kingdom under the flag of the British East India Company...rather curious
If 'Wendy Byrde' had appropriated her anger correctly.
"All men are created equals." We know what came next:...
“God save our 50 states long live United States. God save our states.”
Soon to be 52.
It wasn't "god" who saved our American states. It was the French (who now are scoffed at by imbeciles as 'surrenderers', thanks to WWII). Thank you, France. We'll always owe you big time!
france was having their own civil strife at the time
The U.S. repaid it's debt to France during WWII. We're even.
💯. And we repaid them, twice.
@@mmgreen31 True enough!
Yes this is why we shouldn’t look our noses down on the French because they helped us
Dont thank France. Thank Austria or Prussia. Without one of them distracting France, Britain had to keep significant forces at home to defend against Franco-Spanish invasion. Because Britain was only a naval power with 10 million people. It needed a continental power to do most of the dying in Europe.
