I'm sure there are some good parts, but I'm 4 minutes in and already there is one bit I disagree with, although it is a bit of nuance. A true faithful service, though, would not skip this important part of the story. It is quite relevant and has echoes into today. One of the key incidents that led up to the revolution was the Boston Tea party, which lends its name to the modern branch of the Republican Party, however its interesting that the goal of the two are not similar. The Boston Tea party was not a protest against the Tea tax. The tea tax was used to pay for the French and Indian war, which the colonists largely appreciated. Colonists at the time mostly considered themselves English citizens and enjoyed the safety the crown offered. What they objected to was not the actual tax, but the tax exemptions given to the largest international company of its time, the British East India Trading Company. They object to the tax breaks given ti the ultra rich, not the tax itself. This is well documented, but not spoken about in today's corporate sponsored education system. The modern Tea Party movement has it backwards.

Fantastic! This just might be the best Bunker Hill video I’ve ever seen! Excellent job! 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 John Stark’s New Hampshire militia displayed an incredible level of discipline during Bunker Hill. While many of the New England militiamen would have been veterans of the French and Indian War, many were younger men who had never tasted battle before. It’s not at all easy for an untrained man to stand firm against experienced, trained soldiers - men who are well drilled, trained and paid to kill, have done so, and are much better at it than you. Stark, his officers and NCO’s had enough control and trust over their men where the Royal Welch (a top of the line grenadier unit with quite the reputation, mind you) were practically on top of them, and none of them tried to flee or fire preemptively. The end result was that, when the order to fire was given, they routed the Royal Welch in a single volley. That wasn’t a very common occurrence in 18th Century warfare. Bravo, gentlemen!

It can’t be understated how incredibly difficult it was for Knox to move the cannons from north of Saratoga to Boston. Crossing two of the major rivers of the northeast, countless smaller rivers, around or over mountains, hills and long ridges. He had to take an extraordinarily long route to avoid the green mountains and the mountains of southern NH and northern Massachusetts. If you know the ground, you can’t help but marvel at the effort and success. An absolutely pivotal operation.

Wish I knew more about this incredible effort. I've been to Lake Champlain and down through VT/ Massachusetts Berkshires. My sense is that he was aided by frozen rivers/lakes. But those mountains, the biting cold, the general terrain. Questions I wonder about: did he have an Indian guides, anybody succumb to the cold, how many people brought cannons down, how did they get food to sustain themselves, etc. It turned the tide. Boston was the first city to become free.

Perfect treat just shy of July 4th. Thanks for the balanced analysis; it was a hard-fought campaign on both sides, and both sides had exceptional displays of tactical and strategic excellence marred by very understandable blunders. Those who ridicule either side heavy-handedly underestimate the difficulties of traversing the east coast's terrain and gathering sufficient intelligence for sound decision-making. As someone who lived and grew up near Boston, it's a wonder that the Brits managed to fend off the colonial militias at all when they had been so forewarned and organized. Superb training and the valour of relief forces kept Lexington and Concord from turning into a small-scale disaster. In any modern conflict (God forbid), an attacking force would suffer appalling casualties against determined resistance (a few machineguns and short-range anti-armor teams would wreak havoc in the interior of Massachusetts), whereas these crazy SOBs were fighting uphill in wool uniforms and in the face of concentrated fire.

These are just superbly done. Great narration, excellent use of details and numbers. Demonstrating the basics of warfare at that time is an excellent touch to instruct those unfamiliar with the concepts and thus begins to teach new generations unfamiliar with this historical period. It’s my understanding that these subjects are (or already have) becoming less and less areas of teaching in schools. It is truly sad to see college level students not being able to answer even the most basic questions on their own country’s history which has led to the veery way of how they live compared to other areas of the world. But back to my main point, these are excellent historical videos and done superbly. I can’t wait to see more. Thank you

Woow, what an example of why not to fight on the terms set by one's enemy. Even fairly experienced and well motivated troops can't stand up to walking blindly into prepared positions. It amazes me that Howe didn't attmept an encircling manouver using his Naval pupiortity to get marines in from the North while the beach head advanced from the slowley from the east, taking attention but at suffiecinet range to not suffer much fire until the critical moment where a quick march forward coordinated with an attack from the American rear would have had a much better chance of creating a moral attack, Then after the necessarily fierce fighting in the camp, it could have been re-purposed as a british posiition to easily rebuff the American reinforcements. It seems simple to me, which probably means I'm ignorant of some factors. I wonder why this approach was not taken. Also, another thing I don't know but wonder about is to what extent the American troops had hatchets and tomawks when defending the fortifications, rather than only using muskets and rifles as clubs, which would have been very disadvantageous against a bayonet armed force.

Quick correction. Rifles were not that common on the Continental side as most of the militia defending the redoubts were New Englanders. New England militias generally preferred the musket due to a higher rate of fire and the ability to equip a bayonet (even though many lacked the bayonet). They were also cheaper and more plentiful. Rifles were mostly wielded by Dan Morgan's Virginian contingent who consisted of mainly of western frontiersmen. Another important point was the leadership of colonial forces, possibly most importantly John Stark. Stark, a New Hampshire officer, has probably best been described as a 'force of nature'. He became a hero for his actions at Bunker Hill and, in terms of inspirational battlefield leadership was probably only rivaled by Benedict Arnold (who may have been America's finest field commander in the early war). After Bunker Hill, when Congress passed over him for promotion (Congress started out inept and only got worse with time), Stark did what others only threatened to do. He quit the Continental Army and returned home to New Hampshire. The New Hampshire General Court (state legislature) promptly commissioned him as a general and he basically fought his own private war with the British, Hessians and Native Americans.
