One of these statues heads that was cut off in 1776 is some where in a swamp near my home town.

The American Revolution had great affect on the English middle and lower middle classes, who were keen to weaken entrenched gentry privilege in government. Literary and Philosophical Institutes sprang up with libraries and speakers espousing equality, liberty and reform.

It took the French Revolution to highlight how explosive such ideas could be, leading to Jacobinism. The government clamped down. Home Office spies were everywhere. War with France stimulated patriotism and loyalty to the King.

This, like your many other informative videos is a very inspiring video. Could you please tell me where the statue of George III on horseback as shown at 0:45 is? Thank you
