Revolutionary War Reenactment: Battle of Germantown 2015
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- In late September of 1777, after victorious encounters with American troops at Brandywine and Paoli, British soldiers occupied Philadelphia, then the capital of the Revolutionary government. The occupying army quartered several thousand troops in the nearby village of Germantown, about 6 miles northwest of the city.
In early October, from his headquarters in Skippack (Montgomery County), General George Washington plotted to recapture the capital as quickly as possible. His elaborate battle plan called for an assault on Philadelphia from the northwest, aimed through the heart of Germantown. Overnight and through the early morning hours of October 4, as many as twelve thousand men moved south towards Germantown by several different routes, hoping to catch the British by surprise.Advancing Americans on the Germantown Road encountered a British picket outpost near, what is now, Allens Lane in Mount Airy. The resulting burst of artillery fire from nearby alarm cannons alerted British Colonel Thomas Musgrave’s 40th Regiment, which had camped in the fields around Cliveden. After several hours of intense fighting in and around Cliveden the Americans retreated back into Montgomery County, and eventually to a long winter at Valley Forge. They left behind more than 152 dead soldiers in Germantown, 70 of them on the grounds of Cliveden. British casualties were less severe, but a visitor after the battle described the interior of Cliveden as looking “like a slaughterhouse.”

Imagine being one of those guys that died in the first 5 minutes and now you have to spent the rest of your afternoon laying in the dirt.
How can you tell?
You don’t
@@BalgothTheVile They didn't get hit, they just die whenever they want
well I mean you just kinda decide to die whenever, so the people who died super early were probably ok with it

Now all jokes aside those muskets look oddly like the real ones
the powder is probably another version of gunpowder thats doesnt kill people

A moment of silence for their wallets! Re-enactment to this faithful level is not cheap (both in time and money).

My 10 x great grandfather was a captain with the Massachusetts Militia. It was really awesome to learn about that. Now I am part of the daughter's of Revolution and Early Settler's of America. My 13th great-grandfather landed in Boston in 1636 and built a house in Quincy, Mass.
My 10th great grandfather was the colonel over your ancestor. Im so proud. There was this captain from Quincy he beat up because he wouldn't follow orders. So cool and I'm glad I found out. I'm now in the master order of esteemed American officer descendants club and Most Successful Early Settler's of America club.
@@WestTNConfed I'm a member of the Massachusetts Historical Society, and I also know that your 11th great uncle, twice removed, was the court jester of the King of Wallachia. His name was Shemp, or Simp or something like that. Anyhoo, the king found out he was carrying out crimes against nature concerning the Queen's favorite poodle. So, the king had him hanged, drawn and quartered. Apparently he wasn't very funny anyway. Seems to run in the family.

I'm a member of a discord server with reenactors (Civil War, WW1, WW2, Vietnam, etc.) and I'm just going to give you a heads up that some people take it very serious. One time I was making a US vietnam era infantry kit just to wear while playing airsoft, and when I mentioned one of the brands I was shopping from, one guy went on a rampage, calling that brand shit because their kit didn't look accurate and it'll break. I even shared a picture the helmet when I was done with it and man did I regret that. I had to explain to them that I was on a limited budget and I was trying to complete the look and wasn't going for actual realism. Sometimes they just need to chill.

Can someone answer this: how do you die in one of these? Like do you just decide if u want to fall down and die when they fire or like..
You just decide when you want to die or get wounded, a youtuber called brandon F made a very good video called something like, "How do reenactors know when they've been hit", a lot of the time people die when they have no ammo left or their gun stops working

I bet it's fun to reenact Battles, because the only time you hear of a battle it's in a book or ye ol' lagers.
But being there in the battles s just trying to make it come to life and trying to make it work.
It is fun. Never done an American revolution reenactment but I have been a Union Soldier in a Civil War reenactment.
I'd like to do reenacting like this, Musket reenactments (specifically the American Revolution and Civil War) look really fun, for lack of a better word, the volley firing is by far the coolest part
5:42 The most part were I keep repeating it

Did he pack to much gunpowder or something?
@@krendilsshieldheart6344 he probably added wadding, which means he put the paper cartridge into the barrel like you're supposed too, this allows for a tight seal too be formed and more pressure too build up. That's how a musket should really sound as seen here th-cam.com/video/yS1NDMN9Gnw/w-d-xo.html
You can hear him say that he double charged so he put double the amount of poweder.
I did re-enactments once upon a time and our opposition failed to tell us that they planned to be immortal during the battle, after 2 hours of constant volleys and most of our guys “dead” but none of them apparently being hit, our sgt. major comes up to me & my buddy to tell us that if he goes down, we need to just drop arms & let them give chase. Well what do you know sgt. major goes down and we book it into the woods. We made Kings immortals look for us until midnight until finally one of them had to come thru and say that the battle was over & and we were okay to come out after they looked for us with bloodhounds & torches for hours. Gotta hand it to them they kept it real even after the spectators left.
"bloodhounds and torches" damn, they were dedicated

Well. This looks like a lot of fun. The best part was when the narrator said, "Oh, this is spectacular. I'm getting historical feels right now." That's got to be why reenactment societies continue to attract lots of people. The 'historical feels' - the brief, exhilarating feeling that you are (re-) living the sights, smells, and sounds of someone who lived generations ago.

They should avoid showering for 3 or 4 months ahead of the reenactment so they smell like the troops and soldiers did 240 years ago, too.
That's what my dad and I do
Jesus I would've been put out if I didn't shower for 5 days
You should do actual research.
People bathed and washed regularly in the past, people did not walk around filthy, even soldiers on the battlefield in the 18th century would have made a point to wash at a minimum two times per week to use a river or water source or simply lather and wipe or rinse with soap and water brought with them etc. They also brought alcohol to use as a disinfectant.
The clothes would have smelled different to today but men and woman would wash and use scents such as perfume or musk etc. In towns, even poor families would try to maintain good hygiene and soap was cheap and readily available to the family.
In the 18th century and before, people with bad hygiene were often shunned or looked down upon.
Fun fact: The Vikings were often shamed during the Middle ages for bathing very often?
The idea that people rarely bathed comes from the time of the plague, because bath houses became plague-centers and people correlated bathing with the deaths rather than the mites from rats, but by the time portrayed in the video, people tried to wash regularly.

While watching this, I remembered that my grandad had a book written in the 1780s of someone's actual account from the battle of German town. I just find that interesting.
Being able to occupy the house and fight from it was awesome to watch!
I know what you mean about the historical feeling, the chills you get when it starts to hit you. I do American Civil War and for the 150th Shiloh in TN, we got to be shuttled to the battle by a paddleboat down the river just as the Iowa regiment we were portraying did during the actual battle.
Those moments are awesome!
Indeed. I'm a British guy. In 2010 I was dropped in Belgium and made my way back to the beaches at Dunkirk in all the correct equipment, scrounging a lift home on a real Dunkirk little ship. Epic moments.
I was there as well with the 15th Iowa, waking up at 3 Am, loaded up onto the paddle wheeler with the crew dressed as US Navy, lit up with lanterns. Then marching through the battlefield the next day. Something I will never forget.
Man I didn't know they had cameras back then, let alone footage as high of quality as this. I wonder why we don't see any other footage from the revolutionary War?
I know right

Serious question - How do re-enactors determine who is "dead" and what not?
They probably just act
They follow the script
There's a video explaining this
They just die when they think they die, let's say your in a Napoleonic reenactment and a cannon shoots directly at you, you'd die.
Several questions. 1: How do you determine who dies? Is it random? 2: How would someone interested in this start? Thx.
Robert Walker They die when they feel like it.
some reenactments are planned others are not
i'm a civil war reenactor i can answer those. for 1, it's personal preferance. it's usually better to die when you're tired or out of ammunition, as long as you make sure your weapon is cleared before doing so. 2. search around online for units, a lot of us are recruiting and need more people, the hobby needs to grow in order to thrive. :)
Different groups do dying differently. I was part of a civil war re-enactment as part of an artillery group. When we were being briefed, the riflemen drew a piece of paper from a hat. It had numbers from 2 to I think 9. So if you pulled a 3, you’d go down after your groups third volley when appropriate. Since I was artillery, we drew differently. I drew “45 minutes or 50 yards”. So after 45min or if the enemy got within 50 yards, then I’d go down.
Other places do an honor system. You go down when it seems obvious for you to go down. But that can sometimes create invincible squads that over exaggerate the inaccuracy of smooth bore muskets. Which kinda kills the fun for both sides.
Guy at 3:03 was probably like "I think I could use a nap now but I can't just lie down... OH WAIT I COULD JUST DIE!"
Nah his musket wasn’t working
Never imagined this scene, soldiers talking while they march into a battle.
“Hey look it’s my neighbor hello neighbor”

Is the equipment given to you? Like the gun and powder?
Do you have rent it/buy it? Let me know.Oh and can you explain how re-enacting works? Is it scripted?
+TK Gaming Equipment is bought, gun powder is bought and you roll your own rounds. Many units will loan gear until you get your own and reenacting comes in many different forms. Events can range from fully scripted scenarios to unplanned chaos. There are many events such as living history occasions as well for the general public to learn! If you like history why not experience it first hand as best we can!

Referee 1 - looks like you were hit, now back to re spawn.
Person 3 shoots blank at Person 2.
Person 2 - Hit!
I have a feeling your a 10 year old who has strong imaginations and is horrible in making jokes😂😂
I really want to join one of these one day but sadly I'm Asian so I won't really fit in :P
+TheEpicdangaming So true. Or pasty white Spartan warriors in their fifties
Provincial forces, Haitians, and other mercenary units had some diversity. Ultimately it's for your own enjoyment, remembering and experiencing history. Who cares what you look like, you'll enjoy it, and your unit members will see you as another member. Don't let it deter you.
+TheEpicdangaming Of course it looks realistic. Ethnically they were very much the same. So what if the Texans' faces got a bit more sun.
To be accurate you could be the dude in the back selling whores and opiates
You could join the a ''british'' reenactment group because you know the sun never sets on the british empire.
I love this kind of stuff because it helps some people with like imagine someone walking up to this man saying "have you felt what it's like to be in the battle of germantown?" He'd be like yup
“His guns not firing so, nice death.” Y’all know how to do it up there. I’m in Ky fighting the crown & your heathen allies the Shawnee! God bless
One thing though...I know that nobody is using a ball or anything, but why does nobody use the ramrod, just for historical accuracy and load time? My best guess offhand is that its because someone may forget to take the ramrod out and accidentally shoot a ramrod into someone.
+frogbear02 That's exactly why, the possibility that someone could get hurt.
a react dude was talking about how they use to use them. till a dude forgot to take it out and it landed on a tree near him
There are accounts of both Confederate and Federal soldiers being impaled by ramrods during the Civil War. A soldier would be reloading his rifle, and, in the heat of the fighting, would forget to remove his ramrod from the barrel. If he fired, the rammer would sail across the field of fire to it's target along with the bullet.
I think they might use something.
I've had that happen before as a Re-enactor myself. Though it wasn't a musket ramrod, it was an Artillery ramrod, and it was like a Patriot missile flying overhead.
Nothing like the sight of dead redcoats to make your day
Even if its just pretend
