- Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the early modern history continues with a series on the American Revolution - the War of American Independence. In the first video we discussed the main reasons why the Thirteen Colonies rebelled against the British crown ( • American Revolution - ... ), while the second will focus on the beginning of war, as the two sides clashed first at Lexington and Concord, and then near Boston at Bunker Hill ( • Battle of Bunker Hill ... ). In 1775 and 1776 the war continued with the siege of Boston, American Declaration of Independence, Fall of New York, Battle of Long Island, Ten Crucial Days, the battle of Trenton and the battle of Princeton ( • Battle of Trenton 1776... ), while in 1777 the tide turned with the battles of Brandywine, Germantown and Saratoga ( • How Did the Americans ... ). France and Spain joined the war around this time, putting even more pressure on the British, who now had to defend their European and Caribbean holdings, too. Despite the fact that the battles of Monmouth Courthouse and Rhode Island were tactically inconclusive, the situation for the Britain continued to deteriorate ( • France and Spain Join ... ). However, situation in the South, where there were more Loyalists and the British forces were led by Cornwallis, was better for Britain, which showed itself during the Battles of Savannah, Charleston, Waxhaws, Camden and Kings Mountain ( • Cornwallis Enters the ... ). However, the British situation continued to deteriorate leading to the famous battle of Yorktown ( • Battle of Yorktown 178... ). In the aftermath of the victory at Yorktown, the war continued, but the Americans now had the upper hand and were able to negotiate from the position of power, gaining recognition and becoming independent.

Happy 4th.
France, US's oldest ally and still its most influential.
You should make one more video, detailing America's struggles to form it's modern government in the aftermath of the Peace of Paris.
I am interested in subscribing to your patron to gain access to all of your videos, however I would like to keep them forever.
If I subscribe will I be able to download these videos as well? 🙂
You should make a video on what the US did to the Native Americans again.
I feel dumb for not realizing that you were planning this on purpose; putting the *actual* acknowledgement of independence out on July 4th. Well played, K&G, well played.
And I feel dumb for realizing only after reading your comment
The US actual independence day is July 2 not July 4th. On July 2, 1776 the Continental Congress passed the Virginia Resolution, "these United Colonies are and of a right ought to be free and independent states. They then spent until July 0:01 4th "editing" the declaration. On July 4th the declaration was read to the crowds in Philadelphia and ordered printed. The declaration didn't declare independence its purpose was to justify American independence to the world. However, people associated independence with the declaration so they began celebrating July 4th instead of July 2nd when independence was really established.
They could have taught this in school, but nope. When we celebrate this holiday, it's always 'Declaration of Independence,' like it was announced to the whole world or something. @@rebeccaorman1823
clever very clever
Great timing for the release from this series 🎉
Happy early 4th of July, everyone!
And first week of your new monarchy
Celebrating conquest of other peoples is an age old human tradition.
Sad
Yah.. no! Fake horror day! Wake up! Celebrating this day is like feeding trout to a baby. It's just stupid! Know the history.. the real story . You'd say the same.
I'm sitting at a bar on Omaha Beach wishing you all a happy 4th of July
Always make sure people are represented before you tax them
Awesome job! Would **highly** recommend putting this series together into a single video format at some point, as it would probably be quite popular. Especially with many of my fellow Americans who watch the channel
Planning to
I will show this in my class this fall. I teach 6-8th grade.
@@robertherring9277 thanks for being a teacher
How to say you are new to the channel, without saying "I m new to the channel"
@@nikosporgiotis7952 not new at all, been following this channel for at least two years now
Excellent series! I hope you'll consider doing ones on the 1812, Mexican-American and Civil Wars. The first two could probably work great as member exclusives
Mexican American is very underrated, many civil war figures fought there, also a video on the Texas Revolution would be great
@@yourhistorybase279 The Writer Here: I don't think there's any way to adequately explain why the Mexican-American War happened without doing Texas first.
@@TheReaperEagle sounds like double series = double prize 😄, as a Texian I approve
As a Native American from Ohio, I do want to thank the channel for at least acknowledging the tribes stuck in between the powers here. Especially the massacre at Gnadenhutten. This has been an excellent series, and perfect timing on the final episode! Happy Independence Day, my fellow Americans!
Yes that it true, for them it was a turn to the worse. They did land a few brilliant hits in "Little Turtles War" a few years later, but for them the outcome of the war could hardly been much worse in the long terms.
Happy Independence day!
Happy Independence Day!
Everyone born in America is Native American
There are still natives in Ohio.
Which tribe? Do they live in communities and reservations?
Amazing job on this series. Can't wait for the series on the Civil War to begin
Which one? 😲
@@brianguerino5499They've already done the English Civil War.

*Happy Independence Day! I am proud to be an Asian-American and became a Police Officer to give back to my hometown!* 🇺🇸
Thank you for your service!
Were any Asians involved in American Revolution?
Serve with honor plz
Congrats!!
Arigato
Yall have no idea how helpful the coherent mapping is! These are gold. 🎉
Happy birthday america!! From slovakia
Great conclusion to the series.
What's tragic is I'm from Ohio but knew almost none of what involved Ohio in this video. In my defense, we learn almost no Ohio history, apart from a watered down version in 4th or 5th grade. Great video as usual!
Thank you for giving this complex subject its due without bias as expected, it's a series I've always wanted
There are things that I learn from this video that I didn't know more after yorktown, this is interesting.
Happy 4th of July, it is the date today from The Philippines.
I'm so glad you are doing this, thank you!
Perfect timing to watch on my lunch break 👌
Thank you for doing this video. Most people tend to think/forget that the American Revolution didn't end with the victory at Yorktown but instead lasted for years afterwards. Nice to see the global continuations of the conflict being explored and discussed.
the most important takeaway was that the American Revolution developed into a world war after Saratoga. Independence was effectively for New England after 1777 with The South winning its own independence in 1781 and then France and Spain wanted to get some territorial gains before peace was allowed to return.
Thank you very much for these magnificent serie👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥
Terrific as always. Well done.
Great timing!!!
Love your content on the American Revolution. I hope you can produce future videos on the Civil War, which was just as transformative as the Revolution and WWII.
Another great series come to an end. As always thank u KnG!
Happy 4th of July to all my fellow Countrymen ❤🇺🇸 Long Live the Republic!
Too watch this on the 4th of July was great. This was a nice conclusion on this series. And this video told me somethings about this conflict that I didn't know before. Nice job K&D.
Thanks for sharing this amazing video. It’s really helpful!
Great timing! I just watched all of the other ones yesterday! 🎉. Happy 4th of July from America!!
Thank you so much for this whole series! I've been looking forward to these videos as they've been released and it's been great fun 🙏
Loved this series. Thank you K&G!!!
Thank you for educating us.
Happy Independence Day, America! What a great video. 👍
Happy Independence Day!! Perfect timing from one of my favorite channels! Thank you for this!
*Outstanding* presentation as always! I especially appreciate the detail and analysis that is often lacking in more general history materials.
Good to see you guys cover such an obscure historical topic
Thanks for the video 🇺🇸👊🏻
Fantastic job on the American Revolution!!
Awesome! Thank you for another excellent colonial history episode on the 4th of July 🇺🇸 perfect timing! 🤟
Well done!
Thank you.
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
This series has me contemplating becoming a member for that exclusive content...
Happy Independence Day let's celebrate with peace and joy.
Very nice video 📹 👍 👌
You are a treat for sure.
So, after the series end, Will you discuss about the Spanish American Wars of Independence?
Probably will do the Civil War first
American Civil War series is going to be epic! You guys always do an amazing job.
The history of the independence of southamerican countries from Spain is Fantastic. San Martín, liberating Argentina, Chile and Peru then Simon bolivar with Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and Bolivia. You can do like thousand chapters hahaha. Saludos from Argentina. Excellent videos!
Well played K&G, having this series culminate on July 4th. :::hat tip:::
I was literally wondering when you were going to come out with the next part (maybe last) yesterday lol makes sense.
Released on the Fourth of July... Well played.
Thank you for the video, and Happy Independence Day! As an American, I wish my history classes in high school had focused more on the delicate and complicated politics and diplomacy surrounding the end of the war. This was fascinating.
God be with you out there, everybody. ✝️ :)
wonderful
❤
Beautiful mapping.
Those negotiations for Peace sound utterly insane (in a good way). So complex. Involving Oceans and Continents. So fascinating.
Excellent video, released on Independence day no less. It’s good point you make over the importance of Jamaica and its economic worth with the importance the battle of the saints had overall on the war and its negotiations, as well as other events and political posturing going on.
Will you be doing videos on the war of 1812? I have a big interest in this little known war and would be fascinated to watch any of your videos on it.
Yep
@@KingsandGenerals Look forward to watching them.
The ray traced water renders adds in a lot more spirit to the naval battles
32 seconds ago this is gonna be so good
Nice video, please make a video about the Assyrian genocide and the Dzungar genocide too....
As a reenactor who portrays Detroit militia who were part of Bird's Expedition, I deeply thank you for mentioning the western theater. It is a fascinating part of the war that is often overlooked!
Happy 4th of July! 🎉
This is an interesting series indeed. I feel that this series should have at least one episode explaining Suffren´s campaign in the Indian Ocean and perhaps another episode explaining the events of the great siege of Gibraltar.
The siege of Gibraltar is on the channel
Happy 4th of July, my fellow Americans!
Have a mundane Thursday, rest of the world.
Please make an series about the American civil war 🙏🏻
Happy 4th of July!!
I’m from Kentucky and there were couple engagements in Kentucky and the most well known engagement was at Blue Licks
great vid, nothing else to say, really
What a great birthday present, have a good day y'all. Happy Birthday America
Happy 4th of July🇺🇲😁🤘🏼🍻🎆🎇🎇🎇🎆🎇🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Happy 4th guys !
I haven‘t watched that series yet.. I have just finished another one 😅
I was wondering can you do two series one on the northwest Indian war and the other on the major rebellions in the colonies like the regulator, Shay’s and the whisky rebellions. The northwest Indian war was an armed conflict between the United States and a loose confederacy of Native American tribes and the armed conflict was fought in the northwest territory which was made up of the modern day states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and the northeastern part of Minnesota and the conflict involved 3 major military events and they were the Harmar campaign, The battle of the wabash aka St. Clair’s defeat and the battle of fallen Timbers.
The regulator Rebellion was an armed uprising in central North Carolina that took place from 1766 to 1771 and it was a rebellion by the regulators against the British province of North Carolina.
Shays rebellion was an armed uprising in Massachusetts and it was in response to a debt crisis and it lasted from august 29th 1786 to February of 1787.
While the Americans were fighting the northwest Indian war a rebellion took place in Western Pennsylvania and this was the whisky rebellion and it was a violent tax protest against the whisky tax which was the first tax imposed on a domestic product by the newly formed federal government and the rebellion was fought between those who resisted the tax and many of the resisters were war veterans who believed that they were fighting for the principles of the American Revolution, in particular against taxation without local representation, while the federal government maintained that the taxes were the legal expression of Congressional taxation powers and facing the resisters was the United States government and the opposing forces in the whisky rebellion were 600 Pennsylvania rebels vs 13,000 Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania militia and
10 regular army troops.
Happy Independence Day!
We learn how our French & Indian War was merely a part of Europe's Seven Years War.
But, I never considered that our Revolutionary War was also part of ongoing European conflicts, wars, and foreign policies.
I would really like to see a history of what was happening in Europe
during and because of our little Revolution.
4th of July!
Please do the Anglo Mysore war 1780.
Love the video and love all your work, but calling it Saint Louie is killing me. St. LOUIS (lew-is) unless I suck and that's how they used to pronounce it
Happy 4th of July
Oh.
It's like poetry.
It rhymes.
Uh. North's logic regarding their decision to declare war on the Netherlands feels familiar. At least on the first 2 points.
Putin did his homework
Happy birthday, America! Still great, still beautiful, still home.
Will you be doing a video series on the War of 1812 at some point in the future?
yep
It’s even on 4th of july
Can you do an episode on Shay’s Rebellion? There wasn’t much fighting, but it was enough to convince the Founding Fathers to restructure the government after the revolution.
I would be very interested in one about the Mexican War of Independence!
So good, would be great some about the Latin American revolutions against Spain
I wish to see the coverage of the Philippine Revolution along with the events leading to the said event
Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸🎇🎆
Happy Fourth of July! Hope you reply!
Y'all had this series lined up so this episode would come out today, didn't you?
"Naturally, neither side cared to ask the local indigenous tribes their opinions" dang, it's almost like that's how every last part of human conquest has gone. And the conquest of the America were no different.
Literally said "naturally" at the start of the sentence. And yes, there were differences. For one, most conquests in history did not lead to a near total genocide. Mongols didn't kill everyone in Iran and China, did they?
Happy fourth everyone ❤️🇺🇸
Make Battle of Poimanenon(1224) please.
I immigrated to the US almost 30 years ago.
It has plenty of issues that need to be dealt with but besides that I have witnessed the US and her citizens get over tough times, be innovative, be generous for the sake of being generous, and be a genuine force for good in the world.
I love the US and I pity those who just don't.
I mean it depends on where. We treated Europe a lot better than South America for example
@@zombieoverlord5173 I think America has gotten better with its relations in Latin America. America has always been there to provide disaster relief for Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Mexico is becoming an economic powerhouse because of US trade perks and America freed Panama from a dictator.
+100000 aura for posting this on Fourth of July. RAHHHHHH 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
The British were prepared to give up much of Canada, but the Americans did not ask for it. Look up the "red line" map if 1783, it shows Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia were willing to be sacrificed.
On a related matter, the British economy was exhausted by the French & Indian war/Seven years war followed by the American revolt, import taxes were very high: bread over 140%, salt 400%, ect. This lead to riots and widespread smuggling in England, which then caused tax shortages with the gov't. Britain was in a financial mess, still at war with others in Europe and needed to get out of the war.
Will there be an upcoming video about the aftermath of the war?
At some point, we will make a series on the War of 1812 and that will be a perfect opportunity to talk about the events that took place after this video.
Please make a video about the Assyrian genocide (seyfo).
Happy Birthday America 🎂 🇺🇸
I just kept thinking, how long did it take to pass along communications.
Great day for mankind today!
Has it any playlists? Will you bring the playlists or it is the end?
The map is wrong regrettably, in 1782, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was after the first partition, therefore it was considerably smaller. Hope this helps.
Forgot to make the change in Europe, thanks for the reminder
