One of my distant cousins was among the Concord Militiamen that ambushed the Brits. He helped to chase them all the way back to Boston, and Mustered into the Continental Army. He eventually Mustered out of service in 1780 at the rank of Colonel after serving under Washington at Valley Forge.
I am a 14 year old boy and even here in Italy we do re-enactments of the Italian Risorgimento. There is the French, Savoy and Austrian army. As news for 2024, we have included cannons and explosive rockets in the armies. It's a lot of fun for those who do it and exciting and interesting for those who experience it
Good stuff guys,I have re-enacted the war for American independence and also the American Indian wars over here in Northern Ireland at the Ulster American folk park back in the day.But mostly we re-enacted the American civil war.Haven’t had a re-enactment uniform on me In about 23 years.But it was good to see that re-enactments are still very much alive.Keep up the good work😄👍👍
We mainly use the Mobius Maxi 4k which we mount on our soldiers' headgear. In a few videos we have used GoPros as well! Hope this helps and that you enjoyed. Thanks for watching!
Hi Paul, great question! This comes down to the definition of “Retreat” which in Merriam Webster is defined as “: an act or process of withdrawing especially from what is difficult, dangerous, or disagreeable.” Due to the actions at the North Bridge and subsequent decision to withdraw, this could be considered a retreat due to the deteriorating situation in and around Concord. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for watching!
@@Thatoneguybp Absolutely wrong. Plenty of black people served during the Revolution. In fact, statistically more African Americans served on the side of the British.
While not technically historically accurate, most groups do not discriminate by race even if their historical counterparts didn't have black soldiers. I knew of quite a few who allow women in their ranks as soldiers, as well. If they do discriminate then you probably wouldn't want to be in that group anyways. Best thing to do would be to ask around, once you find a group you may be interested in. There are also units made specifically to represent the black regiments in the war, if that's a part of history you'd like to represent. I don't know for sure if there are any for the Revolution, but I do know of one for the Civil War (don't remember its name though).
@@Thatoneguybp Both sides had black soldiers, mainly slaves of the other side promised freedom for joining, though many were free men fighting for king or for independence. They were mainly in segregated regiments, but I do know that there were mixed regiments as well.
I give 0 stars for lack of trans, BIPOC, LGBTQRTSUVWXYZ representation. And General Thomas Gage was an African transman who identified as an Iroquois-Korean demiboy KPOP singer. How can history forget?

I immediately almost lost both of my shoes walking through that mud puddle at the beginning, lol
Seemed like a common problem ;) Quicksand on top of ambushes is quite the dilemma! Hope you enjoyed and thanks for watching!
The single greatest argument for having a foot strap under the gaiters!
@ChristheRedcoat
You did? Now that's reenacting.

heh saw the lot of you moving around that mud puddle like it was something else.

nice
One of my ancestors was in the relief force from Boston. He said it was like getting hit by mosquitos, but with guns.
That is an amazing quote! Would you be able to share more details on him and his experience? Hope you enjoyed and thanks for watching!

@@HM10thFoot No problem!

soon ill be joining a reenactment group, at first i wanted to try the american, but now i think i might be taking the dark side
Hi Zack! Where are you located? What Regiment were you thinking of joining?
Well, from my point of view the Americans are the Darkside
@@Alfie-ft3bx Then you are lost!
Very cool video
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching as always Jacob!
@@HM10thFoot your welcome
How can this be a retreat when it was the planned route from the beginning?

Some very gallant officers there- or at least confident in the accuracy of the troops musketry.
Hello
Hello! Hope you enjoyed and thanks for watching!
can black people join these reenactments? because im black and i wanna join these one day
I suppose the american side or some other wars... they didnt accept black people during thevperiod but thats just maybe

@@ChristheRedcoat ah i see then, thanks for the correction

Americans are strong with the Spanish empire and the French
They were indeed strong with the European powers. Without European officers, they would have lost the war.
Hezekiah Wyman would have enjoyed this.
Indeed. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for watching!
The American chaotic retreat from Afghanistan was more shameful.
It really was I don't understand how we lost the taliban even the army of afghanistan was in the side with the Coalition
If you were there, you’d know why. Waste of f****** time.
And the military wonders why recruitment and retention are down.
and your bringing that into this because??
this is a reenactment video, not for you to spew out your opinions to the masses, thanks though!
i didn't know there were cars in the 1700s

Nobody asked.
@@ChristheRedcoat It's sarcasm. Lighten up Francis.
