America The Story of Us - Rebels & Revolution - Episodes 1 & 2 - Pt. 4

[11crmp]

at the beginiing was that morgans provessianl rifle corps sorry i cant spell

[J0NDUDE]

I wish us Americans still had a British accent lol

[nywarlord87]

@J0NDUDE Fuck that I don't wanna be know Brit

[RonPaul2012vote123]

wtf at 1:04 he says "Im an American"  dont be dumb

[PowerMacG14]

Not accurate. Can't say much more than this is just a bias documentary.



[USMarineRifleman0311]

@PowerMacG14

youre an American thats sucking British dick.. and then calling bias?

[PowerMacG14]

@USMarineRifleman0311

No I'm not you can rage about it like that. But what I meant about in accuracy was lexington. The British didn't fire in volley. What happened was that a musket fired and a British Soldiers leg was grazed then the troops fired and charge out of formation.

[AdhocHoopla]

The context of this documentary is tragic. It words things in a way which suggests that the British were evil oppressors invading their cherished homeland.

I hate to be the one who says it but the reason the revolution started was because they wanted lower taxes...

[nywarlord87]

@AdhocHoopla No taxation without representation. It wasn't cause they wanted lower taxes. The taxes were actually kinda low. The fact is the british parliament were passing tax laws illegally on the colonist. The colonist had no representation in parliment so the brits were illegally passing laws on colonists. That violated the guranteed rights of Englishmen N Americans possessed all the rights of Englishmen. The colonist had no votes in the british goverment so the brits illegally passed laws

[nywarlord87]

@nywarlord87 Then when the british used there military to enforce the laws that the colonist believed Parliment passed illegally. The colonists formed militias to fight back. If you don't know the history then don't post some bullshit saying that the revolution started because we wanted lower taxes. Next time pick up a history book or do some research online. Because you obiviously don't know shit on this subject, The comment you wrote proves that.

[yachtsmen07]

this documentary is a travesty in terms of historical accuracy

[slawamnx14]

i am not a virginia i am a nerd

[marilyn007manson1]

They keep saying Lexington, but are they talking about Lexington S. Carolina, Lexington Kentucky or another Lexington?

[ThePunisherNWO]

@marilyn007manson1

Lexington, Massachusetts

It was the 1st military engagement between the Patriots and Red Coats it was in retaliation to the Boston Massacre and Boston Tea Party.

[Sept11Discovery]

Having the current American war criminal leaders in this production just cheapens it......

[Sept11Discovery]

It is time to cleanse the tree of liberty gain....Shed Blood America, take back your country.

[Volsfan161618]

I mean Prescott

[Volsfan161618]

@skremn01 they said Samuel warrand spread the word to the patriots in the surrounding villages of concord dude listen

[Skremn01]

hmm. paul revere was stopped by a british patrol, Dr Samuel Prescott, warned the town. If this is that inaccurate, why should i watch this.

[Emomars102]

British men killing British men!

[Wikkler]

@TheMalaysianBoy Yes, he did.

[adi87tya]

Not sure if people had that NJ accent back then :)

[ingrid98R]

im mexican but i got to say americas history is alittle more interesting then mexico

[Zal777zero]

@ingrid98R Dude, that I agree! but Viva Mexico mi Brother :D

[MrGOLDENSHOT25]

he was wright i think that the British still have this deep passionet hatred for us, at 0:20

[eattherich588]

@Graeme674 I appreciate your consideration of both sides of the war. I'm an Amerixan, and I often think that, had I lived in those days, I would have stayed loyal to the Crown because I do believe the British Empire was largely positive, despite it's shortcomings. That being said, I'm proud to be an American (as I'm sure you're proud to be English) and I'm extremely grateful my country exists. I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you for your mutual understanding in a time when everyone else

[AALO101]

1:04 I'M A NERD.

[XxM4RKoZxX]

yeah..fuck Britain

[LiamUe]

@XxM4RKoZxX

that's a little rude.

[derickthestupidone]

"I'm not a Virginian. I'm an American." Best line ever.

[karezza6]

British killing British - what a tragedy.

[MalexanderL]

I AM AN AMERICAN! IN GOD WE TRUST!

[wingwaabuddha]

@MalexanderL God has nothing to do with this country...thank GOD !

[MalexanderL]

@wingwaabuddha God has everthing to do with this country! Withuot God the founding fathers never would have even sarted the revolution. "No king but king Jesus" was their cry, look it up.They looked to God to their influence laws. All the founders looked to God. People say that Frankland was a deist, diest dont think that God has control over any thing any more. Frankland suggested that Congress always pray before thier meeting.Deist dont do that. Read their writtings.IN GOD WE TRUST, you money

[nhouchin3]

They left Britain for the freedom of religion in America..In god we trust should be removed...This isn't a christian nation or Islamic nation etc...A place where people wanna believe false claims to make them feel better about afterlife...Moses should have been shot an shot again for false Indoctrination. He an may others were Schizo..Fact.

[MalexanderL]

@nhouchin3 How do you know that? Do you have any evidence? Or is that just a false claims to make you feel better about afterlife? America is a Christian, study the other side of the coin. Find out why I say what I say. Then once you have study both sides and thought unbiasedly about them both, then we talk.

[bkearney004]

@nhouchin3 Most of the founding fathers weren't even religious.

[LiamUe]

@nhouchin3

A slight correction:

the colonist seeking religious freedom didn't leave for plurality of faiths.

they left to practice their own religion. Puritanism. Presbyterianism. Roman Catholicism, etc

And congratulations for insulting a good majority of Earth.

[Libertytreeradio]

The indefinite detention bill to be used on all americans is now in motion and headed to the white house for the Soviet Socialist there to sign. The Shiesters are now openly showing their hand. Vote with your wallet and buy more ammo NOW. w w w dot ammoman dot c o m for good prices. Organize, arm, equip and train to win. Form a militia of men that you know. The Soviets "will not stand for any armed resistance" here in Amerika. We will defend our liberty. Ne Copula Nobiscum! MGK/GDW!

[Graeme674]

Even I an englishman would of probaly fought against my own country why? because one thing the english government did was deny the colonists their freedom of speech hence I would of joined the resistence despite my nationality.

[WorldFrontlineMedia]

@Graeme674 How did we deny their freedom of speech? The colonists just distanced them selfs from the UK, and tried to form their own Identity, They formed mobs protested about Tax, surrounded about 7 british troops which lead to the Boston massacre, and they dumped millions of pounds worth of our Tea! the bottom line is the yanks would have never of created the USA if it was not for forign help and the fact that Britain was at war with 5 nations at the time, they are lucky!verylucky

[Graeme674]

@WorldFrontlineMedia In answer to your first reply. The colonists had allies (although I think france had a bit of payback on their mind) can't remember them apart from france. We had allies Germany. As for the denial it was the massicure I was refering them protesting etc. USA weren't lucky they used native americain tricks when scurmishing. Open warfare we were the best though we did lack the numbers.

[WorldFrontlineMedia]

@Graeme674 Im also an English man, and a British patriot, this is my 2nd reply to you, and I just want to say had I been alive at the time in the Colonies, then I also might have taken up arms to create a new nation, it was a great opportunity, and its not an opportunity that comes around often, it is amazeing how the USA came from just colonies to what it is today.. Im glad we share a special friendship with the USA today, but if I had been a redcoat different story =crushed theirREB

[geomodelrailroader]

3:26 The night rider Paul Revere 4:00 "The British are Coming" One if by Land Two if By Sea they were warned.6:46 the shot heard around the world Concord America's first battle.

[planger100]

Thumbs up if you like the red coats the most.

[planger100]

Thumbs if you like the red coats the most.

[Bwkjam]

Although it's not proven think it's obvious the Brits shot first, why becuase their were 8 American dead and more wounded. Are Americans such bad shots they can't so much hit a crowd of guys in bright red suits.

[Gravity1771]

If one patriot was killed by a red coat. Five red coats would be dead at the spot.

Thumbs Up if you agree

[trishacam11]

thumbs up if you kinda like the red coats

[trishacam11]

red coats vs patriots

[engliscwarrior]

This narration sounds like its been written by a 12 year old, this 'documentary' is full of innacurate rubbish, its total popular histroy crap. Nearly everything in this is fiction, myths and fantasy, Theres nothing scholarly at all, it's just high school narratives and disproven myths

[frosty848]

You just described every "documentary" ever made.

[manuelbatista99]

wo was daniel morgan



[PaisGreenapple3]

That bullet time thing was epic.

[jnels2007]

AMERICA! We are so badass!

[guitarhamster102]

oh nvm they're freed slaves. my bad sorry.

[guitarhamster102]

Why is there a black militiaman?

[adi87tya]

@guitarhamster102 There were black people who fought on either side I think. I'm guessing a mixture of slaves and free men.

[Oyin26]

prince estabrook

[lilylolipop115]

some of the facts are off but i believe this is one of the best documentaries i've seen.

[darkwarriorkane]

Who would dislike this?

[222kendx]

@TheMalaysianBoy he said "i am american"

[drksideofthewal]

what the hell is with 1:04?

[TheMalaysianBoy]

Did you hear "I am a nerd"? 1:04

[landewoods]

@TheMalaysianBoy I heard him say I am a nerd, but I watched this in school and he actually says I am not a Virgian but I am an American it must of gotten changed by the owner, you can kind of even tell his lips arent going when he is really talking

[GearHead1087]

@TheMalaysianBoy lmao

[predpis92]

unified against what tyrany? they didnt pay taxes, every state would behave like the british.

[jmfigone209]

@predpis92 You have obviously never read the declaration of independence, because if you did, you would have read the 30 plus crimes the British were committing routinely on the colonies. I wish stupid people like yuo would stop jumping to such conclusions, that's the problem with the world today.

[DutchPetriot]

1.46 those weapons were deliverd by the dutch and it got us into war with england aswell because we refused to stop helping americans.

[aceofspades477]

they should show the war of 1812 and how Canada beat the US.

[redcoatsrule]

@aceofspades477 watch war of 1812 the first invasion.

[RavnDream]

@aceofspades477 Actually...it was Britain who beat the US in that war. Canada technically didn't exist yet.

[TheImperialistStates]

@RavnDream Britain didn't beat the U.S in that war. No one got anything from that war. Actually the U.S benefited in the long term. But still no one won. The losers were the native Americans.

[jed371]

@TheImperialistStates The united states invaded British territory, the United States were driven out, so it was a British victory.

[TheImperialistStates]

@jed371 The British attacked American ships which is an act of war. The Americans couldn't bring the war to mainland Britain since American didn't have the navy to do so, so they attacked Canada instead. Taking And Annexing Canada wasn't America's goal. Not to mention, the original terms of peace for the war meant Britain was going to keep some land they took from the U.S, which they didn't keep. What did the U.S lose? Nothing. Britain? Nothing. The Natives? Everything. Losers = Natives.

[jed371]

@TheImperialistStates No the United States aimed to conquer canada, you can find plenty of references for this. British forces in canada were extremely small, indeed Jefferson said 'the acquisition of canada will be a mere matter of marching'. Britain repealed the orders in council before the war started, which was Americas excuse to invade, however the US still carried out the invasion anyway. British forces repelled 3 invasions of canada, all while fighting a war in europe and around the world

[TheImperialistStates]

@jed371 Nor Madison or Congress made it a war goal to annex Canada. Why would America try to take Canada with the small force of 7,000, when they couldn't even hold their own borders against native raids? Ridiculous. Just because Jefferson said Taking Canada would be easy, doesn't mean he's going to attack it. Haiti would be easy to take, doesn't mean we are going to take it. How else would America fight Britain, if she didn't attack Canada? Canada was the only place America could attack.

[jed371]

@TheImperialistStates The American leaders were opportunists, they assumed that Canada could be easily overrun, and they were partially right; Britain had fewer then 5,000 regular forces in Canada. The Americans expected to take Canada easily, they had over 400,000 militia in service with 50,000 regular forces, easily outnumbering the British. The failure was down to the incompetence of many American generals and the fact that Canadians did not rise against British rule as they were expected to

[TheImperialistStates]

@jed371 At the beginning of the war America only had 7,000 regulars...not 50,000. I don't think America even reached 50,000 men through out the whole war. Now the British had around 50,000 regulars, not the Americans. It doesn't matter if America took Canada or not, it wasn't a war goal to keep it. The Americans Also believed the British were arming and encouraging Native raids on American settlements. Also at the wars end, the British no longer supported the Natives.

[suny123boy1]

@TheImperialistStates

Britain probably lost a considerable chunk of their economy and trade goods coming from the United States,lol. What are you talking about!?

[RavnDream]

@aceofspades477

To quote a fellow Troper:

'Canadians ... are always quick to brag about the War Of 1812 ... as exemplified in claims that Canadian forces "burned down the U.S. capital." They forget one thing: The action was in retaliation for American forces burning down Canada's capital during that same war. Not to mention that the forces involved in the burning of Washington, D.C. were about as Canadian as those who won the Battle of Waterloo.'

[MovieMagicMaster]

The one dislike came from Sarah Palin because it didn't tell her version of Paul Revere's ride.

[rjhutchings79]

This is entertaining but also extremely dumbed down history.

[seanpaul1984ab]

I guess that 1 dislike was a redcoat that came back from the dead

[Jonathannovak1]

"News reaches Paul Revere..."

Yeah, and about 2 other people that no one knows because their names don't rhyme as easily as "Revere."

[shnicka55]

What with the black folks getting shot first?!?

Thought this was a documentary, not a horror flick

[mattmatt1696]

our hitory teacher has us watch these like every day. we've wathced the whole thing, who wouldn' want this on dvd.

[WandererOfWorlds90]

Black man dies first

[Bwkjam]

Holy shit that black guy got taken out at Lexington

[TheWill211187]

this is much more better than reading long textbooks

[Phoenix1996f]

oh BTW i'm AUSSIe

[ksb78]

@Phoenix1996f I feel like our two countries have so much in common.

[Phoenix1996f]

@ksb78 hahahaahahhahaha

[Phoenix1996f]

bit like the nazy seals and osama bin laden WELL WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT WENT USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA

[DutchPetriot]

@Phoenix1996f nazi SEALS? are you a dumbass hippy? Those guys are soldiers doing there job. Orders are orders and would you have agreed upon hanging Hitler or Stalin? Yes, because they would've been a threat to our western civilization.

[admeraljacob]

scallywags!!!!!!!!!!!



[joey50557]

best documentary on amercan history ever, much better than any text book.

thumbs up if you agree

[Dew1317]

@joey50557 NO. Is a great documentary but the full history you really found in the books. There are many things in the documentary that you would understand better if you had read a history book before and would become you more critic about it. Truly

[LiKeThEsHaDoW]

@joey50557 There are always hollywood effects..

[zombie62721]

I KIND OF WISH I COULD LIVE IN A TIME LIKE THIS TO FIGHT AS A PATRIOT
