The video explain me very well and i think its amazing how the persons do all of this. My summarize is here: Before the American Revolutionary War, tensions between the British crown and its thirteen colonies had been growing due to various taxation measures taken by the mother country. The Boston Massacre, Burning of the Gaspee, and the 1773 Boston Tea Party sparked a rally against British rule. In response, colonial leaders gathered in Philadelphia in September 1774 to discuss their opposition to British rule. However, the First Continental Congress's attempt to demand independence from Britain did not go far. Tensions flared up on April 18, 1775, when British troops marched to Concord, Massachusetts, and the Battles of Lexington and Concord sparked the American Revolutionary War. The Continental Army, led by General George Washington, was formed in June 1775, and American troops were defeated at the Battle of Bunker Hill and Fort Ticonderoga. In March 1776, the British led by General William Howe retreated to Canada to prepare for a major invasion of New York. The Continental Congress adopted a Declaration of Independence in July 1776, and a large British fleet was sent to New York to crush the rebellion. In the North, General Burgoyne and his men were forced to surrender in October 1778. After the American victory in the Battle of Saratoga, France and America signed treaties of alliance in February 1778, providing America with troops and warships. On June 28, 1778, Henry Clinton and his troops were attacked by Washington's army near Monmouth, New Jersey, but the joint attack against the British failed. The war was declared over in 1778.
@@damntravis6056 No taxation without representation came from colonists having no representation in British Parliament specifically. The American equivalent of Parliament is Congress, and D.C. does not have (voting) representation in Congress
What’s crazy is how I learned more from this 9 minute clip than I did with my school spending a couple weeks on going through this war lol we went over every and any little thing that happened what felt like that you got lost with the actual key points of the war
no it wasnt the americans were already well established as being ethnically mexican and irish like they are now 😁 it was a very real war between two different peoples and cultures
Everyone’s saying there from schiool,meanwhile I have a test in the upcoming hour,and yet I was absent each time they were teaching about the revolution.
Not well explained at all. Google oneida indians in revolutionary war then you will realize how much this vid did not cover....major parts and players. Washington and his men were starving and freezing at valley forge on the brink of defeat and only survived because the oneidas broke thru the blockade and rescued them bringing food blankets and supplies to get them back on their feet.
I wanted to make a time line video about this, but dang, I don't think I could do a better job. The pics popping up over the locations and moving to show where the events took place was flat out brilliant. I will have to come up with something way better or not bother, and so far I am not going to bother.
We are still a colony in all but name, sounds absurd but it’s true. Look closer and you will see alarming parallels and remember coincidences do not exist.
@@cjthebeesknees oh yeah. For sure... I mean, hell, here we are speaking English... however that has almost nothing to do with my statement. England (especially alone) would not be able to inv*de the U.S. successfully. I don't think any country could singularly. Most, if not all, countries aren't stupid enough to try.
@@justinklinck6575 your right, it would be stupid for any country to try and invade the USA, nobody would stand a chance. But,, wars ain't fought like that anymore, its done by nuclear subs , or high altitude supersonic bombers . Like the time the USA government asked the British to play war games, they wanted to see if anyone could get through,/ past their latest defence systems. Can't remember the year tbh, 60s or 70s . I think it was 4 out of the 5 British bombers managed to get through and avoid everything and nuke several strategic targets ( virtually) that would have crippled the USA if it was a real war. The US government were so shocked they couldn't believe it they thought there was a malfunction in their system, So they checked everything and a couple of years later they asked the British to try again. Once again the British planes avoided US defences, shot down a couple of US fighters and nuked the USA . The USA government kept it a secret for decades , There are a couple of vids on utube that tell the full story. That's the way it would happen, not by invading.
@@kevwhufc8640 lmao. Bringing up war games from the mid-late 20th century is irrelevant for what would happen today. U.S. forces are much bigger and better than they were 50 years ago. Come on man. 😂
@@kevwhufc8640 do you have any idea how many top tier aircrafts and n*kes we have now as opposed to back then? Anything Britain could possibly throw at us, we could throw much MUCH more of in return. We have 800+ military bases all over the world bro. If you attempted to attack the heart of the homeland, you can expect your entire island to be a glass floor pretty soon after.. The quality of your training would not be a match for the sheer numbers of fighter jets and bombers that would come your way. To believe otherwise would simply be delusional, the United States military is just too big for you.
@normlor7655 And Bernie! Don't forget Bernardo de Gálvez! The Founding Fathers would first toast George Washington and then would toast Bernardo de Gálvez for being the two people most responsible for our liberation!

Admirably lucid and compelling; akin to a book that was lucid and compelling in its argumentation. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint
The French navy helped the US , along with 20,000 French sailors, on land the French sent over 25.000 soldiers to fight against the British. They also gave over a billion Francs , and 90% of guns and gunpowder came from the French. He didn't mention any of that either.. American's rarely do ;)
Thank you for this as we down here in new zealand had the British come down here and cunningly defeat the Moari who where the first to set foot .Natives of thee land . Not all of us here recognize the poms as big brothers and had we had help from the France we down here in the south Pasific may b a free land as well .
Did England really recognize American Independence or was it more of a negoitated compromising deal for both sides whereby the money and power remained at the top.
Why do you include two Virginia counties as part of Maryland? Accomack and Northampton counties, the Eastern Shore of Virginia on the Delmarva Peninsula, have never been part of Maryland. If possible, please correct your map!
I've been doing a essay on the revolutionary war and have found that every source I've used has taught that the British won at Camden not the Americans like video tells
It seems that the narrator got it right, but the graphics are wrong. There are quite a few mistakes actually (for example, they say the last battle ended in 1981). Same with all of this channel's videos. Love the idea of this video, but a lot of it is really pretty sloppy.
Btw I want to let everyone know that this misinformation left me with a 50 on my test, William Howe did not leave and go to Canada during Burgoyne’s plan but he actually stayed in Pennsylvania , He said Cornwallis came from the West when it was St. Ledger who came from the South
@Chad973, you can’t watch a ten minute video about the American Revolution and reasonably expect to pass a test on the topic. The video simplifies things avoiding many of the complexities and much of the politics. How was it that Washington was considered to be the congressional commander for the Army? Where did the weapons that were suspected of being hidden in Lexington and Concord come from? Why did only 13 colonies assemble and revolt? What was going on in Vermont with the governors of NY and NH each chattering towns in that territory? This video doesn’t even discuss the attempted revolt by Army officers against Congress during the war.
Very poor video. Old info do your research much has been added that was not in school books 50 yrs ago. The onieda indians played a massive part. They were americas first ally. Were in the manor battles and almost a quarter of the total force. George washington and his men were saved by them at valley forge. Washington even mentiones them in a letter. Google it. Huge part left out this vid gets an F for accuracy
I do not understand why it is so difficult for the people who make these video to include all of the relevant facts and information. There are gapping holes in this timeline.
Really? I have a 300+ page book on just the Battle of Saratoga. How do you fit all the relevant facts and information into a ten minute video? Who decides what is relevant anyway? Always more than one source.
It’s highly unlikely that we would of achieved independence without French support and for those who are unaware.. Shoutout to Morocco 🇲🇦 The first country to extend recognition of the United States. Good looking out.
