I've been to Boston and seen where the Boston Massacre took place. I loved being in that city, seeing where the country began. Every American should go there and see.
You should come to the original Boston and see the Boston stump.🤣 Seriously though don't bother it's just a church, a very nice church but still just a church. Have a good day.
I went there in 1992. Beautiful city, endless source of history of early America. I love Boston and will go there again. My aunt lived there in Beacon Hill on Louisburg Square. You can see the lights of Fenway Park and the old Citgo sign from her fourth story flat and the Bull and Finch, the inspiration for the tv series, Cheers. Boston will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you, JD!
Being from the UK I am not necessarily in agreement with the colonists view of things, but the history of the American Revolution really is fascinating. David McCullough's 'John Adams' and '1776' s really shine much light onto the period. Thanks for all your videos. They are always fascinating and insightful.
What a great job you are doing! I was born and raised on Cape Cod, Ma., and have been to Boston many, many times. On my late mother's side, our family dates all the way back to John Adams. The only thing I love studying more than our Civil War is our Revolutionary War. Every American should learn our nation's history because it is amazing! Every time I'm in Boston and walk 'The Liberty Trail', I get goose bumps! Walking past the 'Old North Church' and wondering what it must have been like when Paul Revere and William Dawes went on their 'Midnight Ride'. The Revolutionary War and the events that led up to it are something every patriotic American should read up on because it's fascinating.
It was quite amazing to see these actual artifacts and to hear the stories about the Tea Party and the Massacre. Also, to see the old state house amongst the modern day buildings was quite a contrast. I couldn’t help thinking what if our Founding Fathers could somehow come back and see that scene for themselves and what they would think about how Boston looks today!
This episode was extremely enjoyable. Props to the tour guides who narrated a part of this episode. There passion bleeds through my cell phone screen. Much appreciated. Thank you!!
I am a big history buff, and I am so enjoying all of your series, on everything! I started learning more about the Revolutionary war, and I can’t get enough info on it. Are they even teaching the kids in school about this, at the present time? It is so important to learn about how the USA was developed, and about the Patriots role in ridding us of England’s tyranny. Students need to learn the facts of everything that happened at the time, and examine it from the standards of the time period.
Thanks! Unfortunately, from my experience, the American Revolution doesn't get the attention that it needs or deserves. When it is covered, it's usually in the lower grades and kids don't retain more than a few basic facts. Hoping that people will be sharing these videos to help close the gap a bit.
It is shameful I have not been to Boston when I minored in American History is college! The museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! So much to see there and such an engaging experience!
Great episode! Love the old state house museum and the contents inside. Amazing pieces of artifacts from the birth of our country. Although modern buildings have taken over, still awe inspiring to see the place where the massacre too place. Lucy and Dedre were great in their telling of the history of that place. So glad you are doing a series on the revolutionary war. I'm an early American history buff and this is my favorite timeline to look at 👍
Thank you so much for focusing on the Revolutionary War time period now. I think your timing is perfect as so many people in our country want to tear down and eliminate our history; especially vilify our inception as a country. To know the importance of where we came from (and our ancestors) is crucial in order to understand and appreciate who we are (supposed to be). Thank you again! :)
This Is Why it is So Important We Protect Our History Imagine Gettysburg Filled With A Banks Gas Stations And Walmart Parking Lot And Antietam Battlefield Turned Into A Shopping Center I am Glad There are some Historic Buildings Still Left But Wish Kept Some Of The Historic Places Natural Just For More Perspective Idea Instead Of Seeing A Giant Building And Hearing Traffic
I copped onto the true horror of being in an "occupied" country, especially when you mention how a British soldier treated that teenage boy. Thanks also for giving us a tour of the Old State House museum.
JD, I'm looking forward to this series. This is the bedrock of our founding principles, that so many people have taken for granted or just don't know about. I hope people become educated on why this wonderful country was formed.
I love that you are doing the American Revolution. I have been reading books on all the founding fathers and am somewhat obsessed with it at the moment.
I grew up just outside of Boston back in the 60’s-the 80’s. I loved the old feel of history. It was and is everywhere you go. It was part of life for me.
Thank You JD for the great video. I used to work at colonial Williamsburg in 1978. I wanted to visit Boston and walk the freedom trail. Now I am happy that you got there for me. And, I appreciate you covering the Revolution. It is my favorite time in history. Keep up the great work.
I have only once seen where the grim meaning of “no taxation without representation” is explained. It meant that as in the terrible, recent enough and ongoing treatment of Scotland and Ireland British could do whatever they wanted to those without representation in parliament, no rights whatsoever, leaving them absolutely dependent on English will a terrifying threat. Why this is basically never emphasized in our histories I do not know. It explains everything. Men like Franklin and Washington tried hard for representation and peace till there was no option but independence
Thank you JD! I love that you love the history of our beautiful nation so much. Your videos are always absolutely fascinating! I'm spellbound while watching each one!
Way to work, JD! Great to see you're in New England. I'm from southern New Hampshire just over the border, where General John Stark took command of then marched the 1st NH down to Breed's hill to contain the British regulars. So much history around here, that's why I stay! Keep fighting the good fight!
It's like it is in most major urban area. People running around seemingly unaware of the history close by. You do a great job educating people about a place maybe they pass every day but haven't taken the time to learn its history.
I live about 45 minutes from Boston and love that city. It’s history is amazing. To live in New England where our freedom began is makes me and all life time New Englanders very proud. Thank you for sharing this video and letting people who my never get to see and learn this part of American history know we’re it all began👍😁
Thanks for your presentation on this. I appreciate you actually going to the historical site and explaining the events, the context and the surroundings of the time.
@@TheHistoryUnderground thanks for the reply , interesting that the "Boston Massacre " and "Boston Tea Party " were approx 3yrs apart in the same city...that's a long time for things to simmer ... while lots of other things were happening throughout the Colonies.?....the rest is ....uh....history. Thanks again !
That was an awesome episode! I had never heard the entire story of what happened at the Boston Massacre. Thank you for sharing and educating me and others. Love your videos.
Thank you for your new video , this is a phase of the Revolution i didnt know about before, where the seeds were planted and into what would become a new nation.
3:38 one other point for those who might not be Americans or were taught it in school, we were not allowed to trade with any other country but England. They set our prices of how much we could sell to them and we could only buy products not produced in America from England at THEIR prices.
Man just thank you for everywhere you go and present the history we love on this channel. For history lovers that don't have many means to see artifacts and places that history happened, this Channel is a real treat! Love all of it man 100 percent.
Maybe for a future episode for Christmas you could film the cite at Trent, Princeton where Washington won the battle against the Hessians, including traveling along the Delaware River where the Continental Army crossed.
Nice JD, I highly recommend watching the HBO Series, "John Adams" for lots of great background on everything you discussed here, including the Massacre and his defense of the soldiers
Amazing video JD. When I learned about the Boston Massacre recently I was taught that the Captain yelled out “hold your fire” or something to that effect and the last guy down the line only heard “fire”. I also find it interesting that the colonists complained about taxes yet they never payed nearly enough to what British citizens payed in Britain.
The British had given the colonists freedom to pretty much rule themselves and basically never gave them a thought untill they started going broke and needed money The colonies also had a shortage of cash due to the system set up by the British. The colonists shipped raw materials to Britain and then the British would sell the finished products back to the colonies at marked up prices. Only a few had any wealth.The majority of colonists ,especially in the south lived meagerly. Alternate forms of currency were used like the Spanish dollar ,and some were reduced to a barter system. In the south, tobacco was often traded as barter
The Colonists were taxed without representation. The English were bleeding the people dry with their taxes. I admire the Patriots determination in governing themselves. We are forever in their debt.
I love your channel, I'm a huge history nerd but I still learn a lot from your videos. Thanks for covering the American Revolution, looking forward to seeing more!
Until recently retiring to Florida, I lived in Boston almost my entire adult life and never visited this building. I certainly knew of the bldgs significance but never visited. Thanks for the visit.
This is really interesting. I like the way you show and tell events because it makes it easy to imagine the picture of what you are describing. Looking forward to more. Thank you
I have been waiting for this video for over 2 years. !!! Finally it’s time to see Boston in your channel and am super excited! I sincerely hope you cover the Freedom Trail walk and USS Constitution museum. When you are in Boston there is so much to do :)
I had the pleasure of visiting Boston in the early 90's while on a port visit from my ship and remember that the Boston Massacre marker was indeed in the middle of the road then. It was in the middle of a triangular concrete curb next to where you see the crossing signal light. Actually did just what was said and took a picture from the middle of the street. lol
JD when we're you in Boston since I flew in and drove into Boston. It was during week problem I had was parking. But when I left on a Saturday I realized that crowds downtown was light. For your subscribers there a two books out John Hancock and Sam Adam's that are great to understand what going on in Colonial Boston.
Used to live in Massachusetts. Neat history all around there. Hope you will being visiting Lexington and Concord. I did not know Queen Elizabeth visited the U.S. During the bicentennial.
Wonderfully done! They were living with a lot of tension with emotions running high. Are you going to do anything on Dorchester Heights? The battle that didn’t happen? The Revolution could have started and ended in Boston, but the British wisely chose to fight another day.
Ben Cumbee, as a native Pennsylvanian, I to would like to visit Boston, but only for the Clam Chowder, Boston Baked Beans, the Brown Bread, the Parkerhouse Rolls, and the Boston Cream Pie, but sadly as you mentioned it is too damned expensive and to easy to get lost in Boston. I have been there in the Sixties, so I guess that will have to suffice. Just returned from Charleston, SC, also really expensive, stay across the River in Mount Pleasant the prices are much better there.
@@TheHistoryUnderground Thank you! Love your content. Re: Lexington, I was there several years ago but the Buckman Tavern was closed. Thanks to your efforts I was able to see the inside along with your narration! 👍🏻😊
I was born and raised here in Boston and love the history but unfortunately the politics here have eroded the acts of these Patriots who started this great country. Hope we return to the values that gave rise to this nation especially here in Boston
I’m so glad you decided to cover come of the revolutionary war!!!!! I can’t wait to see what a wonderful job I know you’ll do! First episode was AWESOME! I learned something new!
Great video JD. Like the content around the Revolution. Went to Boston a few years back and every stop along the freedom trail is amazing and so much historical information to consume🇺🇸

Lucy Pollock did an excellent presentation. Her smile and use of her hands tell a great story.
Agreed!
Love to see young people involved in history!
One of my favorite time periods, the birth of our nation. It's bittersweet and ironic as we are now living in the midst of our terminal nation.
It was quite amazing to see these actual artifacts and to hear the stories about the Tea Party and the Massacre. Also, to see the old state house amongst the modern day buildings was quite a contrast. I couldn’t help thinking what if our Founding Fathers could somehow come back and see that scene for themselves and what they would think about how Boston looks today!
I think it would freak them out😂 women wearing art dresses & "horseless carriages" people holding small boxes talking to the air??? 😮whaa??? lol

Perfect transition from WWII to the Revolutionary War; a duck boat goes by as your about to pan to the State House in Boston.

I can definitely relate to the unfair taxation…
Great job on showing American history on the Revolution. I love how American Colonists stood up against the British Empire and won. God Bless America.
Thanks! More on the way.
Really excited for the rest of this American Revolution series JD.

I had the pleasure of visiting Boston in the early 90's while on a port visit from my ship and remember that the Boston Massacre marker was indeed in the middle of the road then. It was in the middle of a triangular concrete curb next to where you see the crossing signal light. Actually did just what was said and took a picture from the middle of the street. lol
JD when we're you in Boston since I flew in and drove into Boston. It was during week problem I had was parking. But when I left on a Saturday I realized that crowds downtown was light.

Used to live in Massachusetts. Neat history all around there. Hope you will being visiting Lexington and Concord. I did not know Queen Elizabeth visited the U.S. During the bicentennial.
Got some Lexington and Concord content coming.
@@TheHistoryUnderground Great! It's pretty amazing being at the places where our country started.
Wonderfully done! They were living with a lot of tension with emotions running high. Are you going to do anything on Dorchester Heights? The battle that didn’t happen? The Revolution could have started and ended in Boston, but the British wisely chose to fight another day.
Gonna hit that in a future set of episodes. A lot of places that I wanted to visit were closed down.
One other thing. It impresses me about Boston, is how they celebrate Patriot’s Day. We should celebrate that day as a nation.
One of my most favorite places in the US. I love Boston so much. I want to move back there sooo bad. But it’s so damn expensive.
Yeah, I was pretty floored by how expensive everything was there.
Ben Cumbee, as a native Pennsylvanian, I to would like to visit Boston, but only for the Clam Chowder, Boston Baked Beans, the Brown Bread, the Parkerhouse Rolls, and the Boston Cream Pie, but sadly as you mentioned it is too damned expensive and to easy to get lost in Boston. I have been there in the Sixties, so I guess that will have to suffice. Just returned from Charleston, SC, also really expensive, stay across the River in Mount Pleasant the prices are much better there.
Big bank building on one of the most historic sites in America brought to you by local politicians who loved kickbacks more than the country itself.
It is a shame to see that.
Boston and the Freedom Trail is a great city to see history in America, nothing else compares!
That was, top shelf, red blooded, well done. God bless America, may we keep, are real values of are founding fathers.
👊🏻🇺🇸
