I am British...fair play to the colonials...they beat us fair and square. We could not wage war on that front with the French also helping. We did however manage to beat America on the Canadian front. The British also were the only nation to burn down the White House....in 1812. this is all history and all water under the bridge. The colonial wars have no bearing on the relationships we have now. I for one love the Americans and we deserved to be booted out the way we treated them. Long live America and god save our queen!

Wonder what our ancestors would say about that today,would they happy,mad,or just amazed that we have airplanes and crap. Probably that one. God save your queen.
Imagine having to go into combat back in them days, with musket and bayonet, and cannon shot....tough world. Even if you were a hot shit warrior....you can't get out of ranks, you just stand right there and take that cannon coming toward you...Keep ranks above all.....tough time...I give the Rebel Colonists major props, even over WW2 soldiers, Rebel Americans were fighting barefoot in the snow.
Theseus9 No matter how badass a person may think they are. Imagine fighting, barefoot, in the snow, with nothing but a musket and a coat for protection, against the most professional army in the world, for six years. Total agreement with you man.
I'd assume that it's still more dangerous back then, because soldiers stood in formations and faced the enemy at relatively close ranges. We have machine guns nowadays, but it's not like we're marching into certain death towards them.
I know this comment is four years old, but in that time period, when writing and reciting poetry, it was not uncommon to change the pronunciation of the final syllable such that it rhymed with its preceding line. Example: "Should Europe empty all her force, we'll meet her in array, and fight and shout and fight and shout for free Americay" For another example, listen to the verse in this song (th-cam.com/video/eWvdf_51Iq0/w-d-xo.html) at the 1:50 mark, which rhymes "day" with "Americay".
What I wouldn't give to have been standing alongside my ancestors, driving the tyrannical British from our land. Our country isn't what it used to be, and what a glorious venture it would have been to fight and possibly die for liberty.

Listen to this song at 1.25x for a true marching cadence like it would have been played during the era. If you feel like clapping your hands, you'll know why the patriots loved this song!
"If a man is unwilling to sacrifice his comfort his well-being even his own life in a great cause is not worth the salt thats in him. " President Thodore Roosevelt.
Dr. Warren and Major Small of the British army were good friends and met face to face on the Battle field. Major Small stood amongst the fallen boddies of his soldiers, waiting the balls from american muskets when Dr. Warren called, stop, do not fire. This man is a friend of mine. Major Small turned and walked off the battle field.
For a long time, I've seen the most patriotism in the words and actions of soldiers. I love America for what it was and what it can become if the right course is chosen. I love my military heritage and my heroic ancestors. I'll be sure to carry the same American spirit into battle when I join the army as an officer and hopefully as a graduate of West Point. I like the tune and appreciate the lyrics that Warren added. Makes me very proud of this land that I call home
This makes me proud, Dr. Warren was my Great great grandfather, It's really cool too see John Trumbulls painting throughout my life, only too realize that it was a painting about My great great grandfather. I saw John Trumbulls picture the other day in Bioshock Infinite, that was awesome
Highly interesting your presentation of Revolutionary American songs from the 18th century. This line about the descendends sailing to the European coast to free France is almost prophetic thinking at World WAR I and II.
I think this all. the. time. We fought against an empire that destroyed rights and now that is what we've become- despite the founders best efforts to prevent that from happening.
Very nice song. Lots of confusion here in the comments. Battle of Bunker Hill took place on June 17, 1775. Warren was the Officer Commanding and killed in the final stages of the battle. It's been a while, the dead were put into a common grave and as I remember and I may be wrong, Paul Revere identified the body. Not many red headed men with two front teeth gone. I checked and I am right his brother found him. For those griping about the music, you need to know more of the music. Continued.
Not that I think it would ever happen in my life time, but if america and britain ever went at it again, you can bet your soggy tea we'll be dusting off all the good ol' tunes.. And make use of them.
Does anyone know where the versions of these songs that TheSpearshaker1776 has posted come from? I have looked extensively but cannot find any of them. There are countless other versions, but I am specifically interested in the ones he has posted. If information is appreciated. Thanks.
We might have won the Revolutionary War only with the monetary help of the French and Dutch, but we received no assistance during the war of 1812, while British received help from Native Americans. We fought the world's most powerful Navy only years into forming our own country, and we still won.
One of the main objectives of the War of 1812 was to stop the impressment of U.S. ships and gain international respect. We achieved this, whereas the British didn't technically win anything. While there was no shift in land ownership as a result of this war, it's fair to say the United States won because we completed our objective.
And the British achieved some of their goals as well, like defending British North America by Defeating the Americans at key battles like Queenston Heights, Lundy's Lane and at the Siege of Detroit. So you can basically say this war was a draw, because the British achieved their goals of defending British North America from American invasion.Kaitlin Bode
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. -Declaration of Independence, 1776
I love the British grenadiers song. But, as an American with revolutionary war heritage. This isn't too bad. Just wish I'd heard it back then. Or perhaps a choir and orchestra could perform it. It would sound great. Look up "the ballad of the green mountaineers" for a well done version of a revolutionary war song. Also, I recommend "Chester" the original anthem of the US and New England. Simply amazing and inspiring tunes.
The french joined us in arms in 1778 and fought along side of us until the war was over in 1783. They also provided covert aid in the form of war supplies starting in 1776.
@THeRevolting1 I've read both the original Constitution and Declaration of Independance, while both are superb documents and both should be followed, the Declaration of Independance was meant to announce the colonies separation from Britain and unite the people in the revolution, and the Constitution was meant to make the laws and guiding prinicipals of the nation. The Constitution is well-written and brilliant, and I hate people in the government that misuse and abuse it. God Bless :)

Continued... Warren and his troops only gave way when they had no more powder. John Stark the hero, of Bennington, and former executive officer of Rogers Rangers saw nothing wrong with the action that I know of. Indeed, this action at Bunker Hill" convinced the British to send one of the largest armies ever assembled by the UK, with some of their best generals. Current politics are not relevant this song, or this great man. Nor is French bashing or praise the issue. This was all Boston.
Here's the original British lyrics: Some talk of Alexander, and some of Hercules Of Hector and Lysander, and such great names as these But of all the world’s great heroes There’s none that can compare With a tow, row row row , row row row To the British Grenadiers None of these ancient heroes ne’er saw a cannon ball Nor knew the force of powder to slay their foes with all But our brave boys do know it and banish all their fears Sing tow, row row row , row row row For the British Grenadiers When e’er we are commanded to storm the palisades Our leaders march with fuses, and we with hand grenades; We throw them from the glacis about the enemies’ ears Sing tow, row row row , row row row For the British Grenadiers And when the siege is over, we to the town repair The townsmen cry ‘Hurrah, boys, here comes a Grenadier’ Here come the Grenadiers, my boys, who know no doubts or fears Sing tow, row row row , row row row For the British Grenadiers So let us fill a bumper, and drink a health to those Who carry caps and pouches, and wear the louped clouthes May they and their commanders live happy all their years Sing tow, row row row , row row row For the British Grenadiers

@Craig the Brute Lol enjoy your post-modernist anarcho-capitalist "haven"
Shiny Bald Boy That’s nice, now close your eyes.
Are you guys all vying for the dumbest comment ?
@@YOTSUBA_desu get over it. america is an imperialist empire that has many colonies and military bases over seas. they were the chosen one. they were supposed to destroy the empires not join them
But we couldn't have done it without them
Lol,very good point. We often forget Prussian officer helped us a great deal.
the dislikes are from British grenadiers and Africans 🤣
hail to the republic! dont tread on me
Pfft. You can't be imperialistic and be called a ''republic'' at the same time.
i feel like someone should make a modern version of this song, it be interesting to hear, but prefer the original
Continued... Warren and his troops only gave way when they had no more powder. John Stark the hero, of Bennington, and former executive officer of Rogers Rangers saw nothing wrong with the action that I know of. Indeed, this action at Bunker Hill" convinced the British to send one of the largest armies ever assembled by the UK, with some of their best generals. Current politics are not relevant this song, or this great man. Nor is French bashing or praise the issue. This was all Boston.
what genre is this
Search up "Fife and drum".
Freedom
Folk
@Thx1138d lol... I'd still rather live back then... it was SO interesting..
Im sure Dr Joseph Warren's version would of been badass
no lyrics?
do you really think anyone will fight i hope so
It’s not Hazzah it’s haz-zay,
This reminds me of Assassin's creed 3
Long Live Liberty
Opose opose for you are american- we are your Son's of liberty
Thats the British Grenadiers song actually
Here's the original British lyrics:
Some talk of Alexander, and some of Hercules
Of Hector and Lysander, and such great names as these
But of all the world’s great heroes
There’s none that can compare
With a tow, row row row , row row row
To the British Grenadiers
None of these ancient heroes ne’er saw a cannon ball
Nor knew the force of powder to slay their foes with all
But our brave boys do know it and banish all their fears
Sing tow, row row row , row row row
For the British Grenadiers
When e’er we are commanded to storm the palisades
Our leaders march with fuses, and we with hand grenades;
We throw them from the glacis about the enemies’ ears
Sing tow, row row row , row row row
For the British Grenadiers
And when the siege is over, we to the town repair
The townsmen cry ‘Hurrah, boys, here comes a Grenadier’
Here come the Grenadiers, my boys, who know no doubts or fears
Sing tow, row row row , row row row
For the British Grenadiers
So let us fill a bumper, and drink a health to those
Who carry caps and pouches, and wear the louped clouthes
May they and their commanders live happy all their years
Sing tow, row row row , row row row
For the British Grenadiers
Go away lobsterback
I wonder if the Brits played their version as my ancestors forced them to surrender
My mom told me she was going to turn off the wifi at midnight so I sent her this. Murica is a free country. You cant drag me down and tell me the wifi is going off. Nuh uh. That's not what our brothers and sisters fought for. America must be free from parents who threaten to turn off wifi at midnight when it's winter break. Nope. I refuse to be treated this way. I'm going to write the president a clear and honest paper on how wifi should be allowed at all times, even when you accidentally forgot to do the dishes. Did George Washington fight for me to not be free?! NO! He fought for me to be free! Has George Washington died in vein, knowing his descendants have been victimized and controlled? I hope not! This tyranny must end! I will not be subject to this prejudice ever again!
Amber Is Very Dun I really hope you are joking. Listen to your mother because she is your mother, your not living in tyranny just because you can't use wifi at night.
John West Ofc I'm joking. Ever mess with a Latina mom? If I didn't listen to her I'd be smacked to -Jupiter-

You're doing your duty as an American.
It’s just WiFi bro-
I'm a student, and I was never taught that our founding fathers were crazy slave owners. And remember, slavery was outlawed in massachussetts, so sam and john adams didn't have slaves. Sam adams even freed a slave
Their navy blockaded a harbor at the end and then sent a few officers. And we payed them back by saving them in world war one and two
That makes me think...Would senates separate from the Head of State or stay with him. Maybe the South would rise again?
Or just a Revolution comes.
Most of America's military bases are in the south. even if the south rose again it wouldn't even last a week.
This is the grenadiers song
