I'm in this video lol. Just responding to some of the comments I hear from spectators. They really were not idiots for fighting the way they did. I don't have time for a historical essay in 400 characters, but we actually fight closer than they would in real life so the audience can see us. You don't want to come to a reenactment and hardly be able to see us. Also, in this early war battle, both sides were largely armed with extremely inaccurate smoothbore muskets.
