    This was a great documentary because when we did a family history found out I had a multiple great-grandfather that was one of Morgan's Riflemen it's so awesome to see a documentary about it

      @fiiredark How is it possible for him to fight in every single battle? Did he teleport or clone himself? Some events took place at the exact same time.

      Yea don't think so huh? Hmm. Colt pythons are my fav revolver. The 1911 was ahead if it's time. The browning Auto Rifle (Bar ) was as valuable in WWII as the SAW is today.

      John Moses Browning is just in a class of his own. That doesn't mean Colt or any other firearm designer is not great, but no one will ever surpass Browning. And anyone that does not understand that has very obviously not done any research on the subject of firearm design.

    Actually no, the American long rifle of the French and Indian, and the Revolutionary War periods were called "Pennsylvania rifles," not Kentucky rifles. It would be many years, nearly a century, before the first long rifle was made in Kentucky. The Pennsylvania rifle, originally produced in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1719, and then their clones and varients produced up and down the colonies, were most certainly Pennsylvania rifles by their design and origin. The first Kentucky-produced long rifles were most likely not produced until the early 1800s, nearly 100 years after the first Pennsylvania-produced flintlock rifle. Daniel Boone, a Pennsylvanian, carried a Pennsylvania rifle and not a Kentucky rifle as often misstated. The Kentucky rifle, merely a Pennsylvania rifle varient in stock design only, was not a Kentucky frontier staple until well into the 1800s. The primary source of Pennsylvania rifles purchased by the early Kentucky frontiersman were acquired most likely from Virginia and possibly Tennessee.
    It's important to do thorough research before making an historical documentary. So much of our American history and heritage are being rewritten and obliterated, as this documentary is culpable. It appears to be an American obsession to obliterate American history. Obviously from record of this video, corruption of US history is by no means contemporary. Facts matter.😮

      You need to study more. They were called Kentucky rifles even though they were made in Pennsylvania because the majority of people buying them were traveling to Kentucky. Your attempt to sound smart revealed your ignorance.

    • @JeffreyCotle

      They were called KY rifles because they were the preferred weapon of the long hunters. Not because they were primarily manufactured there.

    You cloud make a smooth bore accurate @100 yards if you patched it but that wasn’t the point. It was volume of fire so they deliberately loaded a ball that was .010 smaller or so so then the gun started to fowl it could still be loaded. Kinda the attage of “no one complains about the inaccuracy of a machine gun” because that’s not the point
