I think what Americans might not appreciate is that while the Revolutionary War was the start of their nation and a disaster for Britain it was 8 years out of over 1000 years of fairly well recorded history. We've suffered a alot of disasters in our time and American Indepedence was followed by Britain playing a major part in defeating Napoleon and a British "Golden Age" of power.
All is set up and well planned man, the American Civil Wars are staged for the Rule Americana / Pax Americana replace the Rule Brittania / Pax Brittanica.
I love hornblower and sharpe sooo much!! right now ill stick to WWII re-enacting but in the future id do anything to do Napoleonic re-enacting! great series my absolute favorite next to Sharpe ! 10/10
Their constant conflict over their ways of leading their soldiers was amusing. But I admired more the difference between morale and discipline. And you can see that british sailors had the best of both as shown by matthews, stiles, and other crewmen. The officers had the discipline.
I did-and yes, it really sucks, especially in cold weather. I never needed to join the army to find out either. I used to run errands for my family in Texas; part of it was to cross a few streams and gulleys to reach the conveniece store, or my old college. luckily, I never caught trenchfoot.
@@SantomPh Well, yes and no. Both have a very strong central government, and the modern fifth republic is partialy based on the first, for its principles and institutions (one Parlement, with different parties, but one stronger than the rest). Yet, the fifth republic has a strong root based on the Bonaparte and imperial legacy, and some "very old" parts salvaged from the Monarchy. Problem is that nowadays fifth republic have gone through a lot of changes and events, most of them hapening during the last 30-40 years, giving more power to the President, and less to the opposition, and disregarding the French people's opinion, which lead some politicians and intellectuals to speak about a country which is "not-really-a-democracy" anymore, but more something like a "republican monarchy".
I don't think the boots could have been waterproofed much, they had major problems with trenchfoot as recently as Vietnam. I've never marched with wet boots, but I imagine it does suck very much. Trenchfoot often led to amputation in the Napoleonic Era.
Pellew is such a great mentor character. It's fairly obvious that he carries an almost fatherly affection for Horatio, and is even somewhat embarrassed about it.
I haven't read all the Hornblower books but I think it was hinted that Pellew actually is Hornblower's father - he had an affair with H's mother in the past!
@IAmCaptainMarvel in fact, this comes up very marginally in Hornblower: Duty, where Hornblower just presses a rescued American sailor into duty on his ship. Basically, a lot of American ships were raided by English frigates and their crews pressed into service, because they were supplying the enemy. This was common partially because the British had only a vague concept of citizenship, but it rightully angered the American Government and led to war.
I like how an episode of a series about a British Midshipman set during the French Revolutionary Wars, where the two opposing superpowers were the British and the French Republicans, with the British backed by French Loyalists, set during a battle which had nothing to do with the US, somehow, someway, boils down to a topic in the comments section about the US.
I love the character Colonel Monckton. The monarchy at least brought stability and power. He realized that the radical revolutionaries must be purged with ruthlesness. Fighting for king and country is more noble than terrorizing people in the name of false democracy in the form of squabbling peasants turned politicians.
You clearly know nothing about the french revolution, the monarchy was a dictatorship, and the republic was a democracy. And the monarchy brought nothing but shit to france, the country was in debt so the revolution was necessary.
yeah go fuck yourself kid. Your country is probably a pathetic third world shithole of a nation that begs for resources from the former empire whilst stabbing it in the back at the same time. You are probably a refugee baby or as I like to call them a human refuse baby. You're probably the offspring of wellare recipients who sit around all day watching football and complaining about the government.
Let's go back to your response to my original comment. Why do you feel that my statement was incorrect regarding Colonel Monckton? If you've studied the French Revolution, then you know that it descended into anarchy, chaos, and mass violence, all culminating in two decades of war and Napoleon toppling most the regimes in Europe. So, the royalists were actually the righteous ones who understood the importance of stability, and allegiance to the state and monarch. Colonel Monckton was an educated man and member of the aristocracy tyring to look out for France's welfare by fighting the revolutionaries.
@broadband01 In 1765 (just after the 7 Year's War) most Americans were bursting with pride to be part of the the greatest empire on the face of the earth-- the British Empire. It took an incredibly stupid series of blunders by the government in London to alienate American affections, culminating in an Enabling Act that effectively vested all power in Parliament, and none in the colonial assemblies. This was basically the same process that the English (cont'd).
@IAmCaptainMarvel there is an additional twist here because British abolitionists legalized Piracy against American ships as a sneaky way to bankrupt the slave trade. Because Slave ships often sailed under US colors, targeting American ships on the basis that they were trading with the French was a perfect way to do so without having to press outright abolition, and with no concerted opposition.
LOL never had it in Vietnam, but I remember a few guys that were not so lucky. Something about the boots of the millitary that never seem to be right. LOL
can somebody explain to me why major edington has a battlion of troops here but in the end a companý or just a platoon??? thar is one off may wtf in this hornblower series.
@IAmCaptainMarvel The policy was a complete success and once slavers were no longer wealthy enough to fund heavy lobbying campaigns, slavery was able to be abolished in the UK just a few short years later. And, of course, the US national anthem was written indirectly because of this, during a war that started over the above-mentioned piracy.
With respect to our founding fathers the French and their revolution were truly Unprecidented. With the American revolution all we did was found a new government and break our ties to our old one. Our social elite remained in power. With the French they completely restructured their entire society. They did away with their King, nobles, church and the the old system of system of castes and built something entirely new based on the concepts of the enlightenment. It's incredibly admirable and noble We changed our government but they changed their entire world
you hate the french? You do realize that they have not fought each other since 1815, and, 100 years later, they were fighting together? Leave the hatred in 1815.
If you knew what the republicans did you would see why he thinks that...though he did go about it like a madman completely justifying everything they did. If you read "In The Reign of Terror" by G.A. Henty, it shows the brutality the revolutionaries showed to the French Aristocracy, whether they were virtuous or not, all clergymen and nobles were put to death with only the mocking pretense of a show trial, no mercy all, entire families killed, even the women children were to be guillotined.
@broadband01 (cont'd) had used to reduce Ireland and Scotland to dependencies-- a fate many (but, indeed, not all) Americans were anxious to avoid. The Revolution didn't take off until the London government managed to scare the American middle class/gentry into rebellion-- the Washingtons, Jefferesons, and Adamses. I recommend Barbara Tuchman's "The March of Folly", which discusses this in some detail. "Treason" is a word intended to provoke an argument. I prefer discussion.
They were supporting the Royalist French fighting the Revolutionary French. The European Monarchies during the French Revolution weren't too keen on allowing the chaos to spread and topple other monarchies.
@IAmCaptainMarvel well, aside from the snark about how it's always all about the US (god's chosen country), the setting is similar since this is the time period America becae a country, so the battles were very similar. Might I add that America did end up being tangled up in the Napoleonic wars in the end.
@neckronn99 One correction-- it was a "Declaratory Act", not an Enabling act, but the intent was the same-- to give Parliament unrestricted power to pass any law they pleased for America. If the British government had been reasonable and granted the colonies something like Dominion status, it's likely they would have stayed in the Empire, and history, and the political geography of North America, would have turned out very differently.
no. Only people who want to hate do that. There was cruelty and hell during war, but that war ended 200 years ago, no reason for the hatred to continue.
@Songsmirth few weeks a year in the uk! Im not trying to defend the original comment merely point out the reasons for the possible biasness behind the statement... and no i dont want a massive arguement on youtube not trying to cause one!

Did they kill members of your family? You do realise that the 'British Empire' no longer exists, and America, albeit in notional decline is still the world's most powerful country?

But no, that isn't a reason to derail the thread, especially since most commenters wouldn't be aware of those things.
@USMCM249gunner Ah you put that nicely. But unlike Afghanistan, the French were in America in full force, and most significantly their navy. So they actually were a war combatant. It is hard for me to admit that we lost the colonies but I did it. Now it is time for you to admit that the French were a major asset to your liberation and that you appreciate their assistance.
There was a huge mistake in this episode. The redcoats’ packs show them as being the 95th regiment. The 95th was a rifle regiment. They wore green jackets and carried rifles and they were light infantry, not line infantry.
@USMCM249gunner Oh c'mon man. The French contributed all of the funds and most weapons like you say, which is the important part. And they also contributed lots of land forces and troops too. And you do know, that if the French Navy was not around to blockade Yorktown, the battle... and the war would have been lost. As a member of the British Empire, I might hate the French, but I think you should give them credit. The French and the United States have always gotten along.
As benevolent as it may be, the class society of Britain disgusts me. I have more affection to the classless culture of America, or grassroots English Protestantism.

During the French Revolutionary Wars the French fleet was at his worst level... You can count 3 navy for England against 1 for France...
At 0:44 Mathews said something like "why I, Sir". I understand that it is "Yes, Sir", or "Roger, Sir". What did he say exactly, can you tell me?

‘Aye’ basically means yes.
