[POWROTTATY]

Bitwa pod Saratogą : Generał Tadeusz Kościuszko!

[crreativeme]

@POWROTTATY Yes, Kościuszko, a young Polish soldier & engineer, joined the American army as a volunteer. He chose the Bemis Heights site at Saratoga, designed & oversaw building of the American fortifications, and was also responsible for putting obstacles in the way of the British descent along the Hudson. Kościuszko was the engineering genius behind the American victory at Saratoga.

called hell on the wabash for the unions iron brigade

[MrRotstift]

Yeah, reminds us of how close it all came to the US being crushed at that stage already. To image that Cornwallis should have held out for another months or so to wiat for the royal navy to break the french naval blockade and crush the Yanks, and Hiroshima and all that primitive selfrighteousness of today could have been spared mankind ....

[TADraeseke]

@MrRotstift Yes too bad Hitler didn't take over Europe so Germany could bring its imperial greatness to the rest of Europe

[GeneralGillon]

@MrRotstift The Hiroshima bomb was to prevent the potential death of over 500,000 Americans and the self-righteousness is something called nationalism that most countries exercise.

[mrharmonica100]

@MrRotstift U must be British. GET OVER IT!

[brendo150]

This music is in fact fife and gun...not fife and drum

[crreativeme]

@Tilligable, the music is "Fife and Gun" from the 1993 film "Gettysburg", composed by Randy Edelman.

[warszawianka]

@crreativeme This track is one of the best from the Gettysburg film soundtrack. It's the old fife & drum marching tune Hell on the Wabash, and this track plays when General Reynolds is shot by a Confederate sniper on the first day of the battle. I guess the "gun" part comes from Reynolds' shooting.

[BigMDS67]

Great victory,the Americans showed France,Spain and the Netherlands that We could stand and fight with the British Army. It convinced France,Spain and the Netherlands to enter the War on the side of the Colonies.

[TheresAGhostInMyBeer]

@BigMDS67 Yes, The Colonies won

yet France Spain And The Netherlands lost in due course : ]

[ad220588]

@BigMDS67 probably for political reasons-the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

[crreativeme]

@MIXMAMA23FORLIFEBABY, thanks! I'm flattered :-)

[bko1999]

this was the turning point in the war

[HypersonicWave]

The thin red line or a line of overweight lobsters? The real lobsters were not that overwheight because they did not eat hamburgers with french fries everyday back then but simple army rations. Anyway great vid =D

[Wojsport2]

fantastic, greetings from Poland, God bless America

[crreativeme]

Thank you! And God bless Poland :-)

[Ragnar1001]

God bless Poland. Greetings from Germany

[T1carus]

go lobsters !

[LockerzZlister]

ugh i have to do a project on major battles of rev war

[crreativeme]

Good luck. I'd suggest (if you can) that you limit yourself to a certain region or year, because then you don't have to provide a lot of background for each of the battles. For instance, the Cornwallis campaign in the South, which included the battles at Camden, King's Mt, the Cowpens, Guilford Courthouse, & Yorktown (to name just a few) between 1780-1781. That's a lot to write about right there.

[tvmay2]

i hope your project turned out great ; I'm doing a documentary on them - it's fun when you eget into it!

[mslegoproductions]

there is a kid on one of the pictures try to find it

[TheRapper10000]

Is this the same music from the movie "Gettysburg?"

[crreativeme]

Yes--it's called "Fife & Gun".

[mikefrontier]

Awesome soundtrack, but I think its actually called "Fife and Drum"

[crreativeme]

@mikefrontier, the track I picked up was titled "Fife & Gun", but it might have been mislabeled. Certainly "Fife & Drum" makes sense.

[apon91]

It's good that they are very well fed

[viceroytennis]

I don't think the soldiers were quite so well fed back in 1770-1781. Anyway, hopefully all had fun.

[crreativeme]

Yes, a few more long marches will get them in shape :-)

[kings8thpvt]

lol you gotta love that good ole "all-american" waistline as the WWII reenactors say

[hudsonsailor54]

Enjoyed it:)
