Nice video! Thank you for uploading.

Hell yea history
This looks like a game worth playing
I completely forgot about the Boston massacre
absolutely love love love the paintings I think its safe to say we all hate when film makers/historians produced cheap video to go along with story. a piece of imagery that is poorly lit, horribly cast and all the outfits and weaponry all wrong for the proper timeline . bad imagery and video takes focus from viewers away from story line. we are left wondering 'why does that actor have xxxxxxx,that type of coat wasn't designed until xxxxxxxxx . this production is one word "beautiful" ok so i clicked on and ready to hear all about Boston Massacre . now i'm from California, sf born living in LA so anything pass Vegas w/exception of Nashville Chicago and Lubbock TX we really don't care . but this was awesome . the paintings just drew me in ,they really set the dismal mood of the time. the red coats appeared rough and racist . as i watched the story was much more interesting . the whole time i am thinking life really sucked ,to be known as a colonist, like you were from a rental property . It did seem that they were trying to fig out how to make this rental property with no lease (america) work by going to court etc. I never ever heard of "branded killers" ouch . I see where the teardrop tats on face came from in history two thumbs up
What's a 'thumb brand' about?
It showed that you had killed a person. When someone went to shake your hand, it would be visible.
@@readingthroughhistor 😳viscous💯thanks
And today the states of the original colonies are among the most difficult to own a weapon.
👍🏫
Minor detail: Boston was predominantly catholic, while the British were predominantly protestant.
In the colonial days, Boston was predominantly protestant too. They didn't become predominantly catholic until the 19th century.

It’s it even worth making videos when they get less than 10k views? That has to be a couple of dollars at best
Yes. Who cares about the money?
