Sounds like Brooklyn declaring war on Massachusetts (lol). The music is great even if the details of the history are not.

The Battles of Lexington & Concord began a rapid series of battles between the British and the Colonies that led to the Declaration of Independence and further warfare. The raid at Fort William was a raid and nothing more than one of the many stepping stones that eventually led to the war. If you want to keep backtracking, perhaps the first shots were fired in 1770 in the streets of Boston during the Boston Massacre. Hmm?

You are using terms and phrases that are not used in the documentary. He doesn't say "right here where the FIRST MAJOR battle of the Revolutionary War was fought." Nor does he say "where the first battle an army of the US ever engaged in." He says "the first battle of the Revolutionary War." The widely accepted "first battle of the Revolutionary War" is at the Battles of Lexington & Concord.

While no one is sure who fired the first shot of the American Revolution, it is an absolute fact that it was not fired at either Lexington or Concord, MA. The first shots were fired about 60 miles north and east at Fort William and Mary in the town of Portsmouth, NH on December 14-15, 1774.

The Battle of Long Island, also known as the Battle of Brooklyn, fought on August 27, 1776, was the first major battle in the American Revolutionary War following the United States Declaration of Independence, the largest battle of the entire conflict, and the first battle an army of the United States ever engaged in.

Uh... "across the street from Prospect Park... right here where the first battle of the Revolutionary War was fought." - What? I guess he didn't hear of "the shot heard 'round the world" up in Concord, MA.
