Bruh why can’t teachers just play this to teach about the revolutionary war? I learned more from this one video than an entire 6 years of school.

I'm French. Congratulations from your oldest ally. You opened the door to revolution. Thank you.

As a historian and history teacher, I would like to clarify that the famed "shot heard round the world" took place at North Bridge in Concord where the first British troops were killed in an altercation with the colonists, not at Lexington it is a common misconception that happens because Lexington is thought of as the first battle of the war. Otherwise, this is an excellent video that I enjoyed very much and show to all my US History classes.

This is produced insanely well. Should be in every classroom.

My god. They were all over the place. Watching this made it alot easier to understand, rather than reading it on paper. So grateful for my ancestors courage and fortitude. They were the foundation for the Amercian spirit.

I love this Country much more than the one I was born in. I couldn’t pick where to be born in, but I did pick where to live in freedom. This country is great, and it’s history as well.

Can you imagine the thoughts of the common soldier on each side? Their reason for fighting, their inspiration. I often ponder this more than the battles themselves.

We’re learning about the Declaration of Independence in class right know

As a 12 year Marine Corps Combat Veteran, I can't express how amazing this video is! You guys did a great job!

the ONLY person who could've MAYBE hold the army together if Washington ever fell is Nathaniel Greene, the 2nd most important general of the revolution.

Anyone else watching this today? It truly is incredible what we achieved and I will forever be thankful that I get to reap the rewards of what these men fought so hard for.

We can never forget the lengths these men went through in order to protect and secure their rights. If we are not willing to do the same, we'll lose those rights.

The French really came through for the colonies

The Miles these troops walked. Unthinkable

As an immigrant, here for 50 years, this video made me shed tears of pride for my country, the united states of America

The narrators voice fits so well with the topic

This is way more impactful watching it on my own accord as a drunk 21 year old than a bored 15 year old

If you are American and have never been to Minuteman National Park you should go. On the southeast side of the Old North Bridge the remains of two British soldiers are interred. There is a headstone there with the inscription "They came three thousand miles and died, To keep the past upon its throne. Unheard beyond the ocean tide, Their English mother made her moan." There were three soldiers reported fallen there. Their names were James Hall, Thomas Smith, and Patrick Gray. All three were privates from the 4th Regiment. Two are buried at the bridge, and one in Concord center. These could easily have been American names. It gives you reason to pause and reflect on the fact that these three young men never made it home, and that the Revolutionary War was a family fight much like the Civil War was.

My seventh great grandfather was with Washington at valley forge and at the surrender of Cornwallis. He later died in the war of 1812.
