This is a series I would recommend parents have their children watch, and I'm liberal. This shows what the colonials were subjected to and why they finally rose in revolution. I beieve that they were fully justified in doing so. I also have the honour of having been born on the anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill.
Liberal huh? I suggest you think long and hard about where your political loyalties should lie. Those Democrat masters you serve only see your value for how long you'll be of use to them to which afterwards they throw you to the wolves.
Real history is so much more interesting than what we are taught in school. Small wonder that those classes never held my attention back then. I feel cheated.
The respect and admiration I have for these men and women is unmatched. Can you imagine being willing to risk absolutely everything for the chance and a very small chance at freedom. The signers of our declaration of independence, were effectively signing their own death certificates had they lost the revolution. It was an all in bet. It just amazes me due to my thought that I think most of us have become too selfish and too much of a self preservation mind set. I can't say I myself would be willing to bet with my life and far more importantly my kids lives. Had they lost their families would no doubt be in danger of being hanged for being a traitor to "their" king.
We pay more in taxes now then we ever even conceived then. Every single complaint listed in the declaration of independence we do as much or more to ourselves and others now as England did then.
They were the reason that slavery continued to be legal in this country. Had the men who penned our Constitution not agreed to continue slavery, at least half the former colonies would have refused to ratify it.
Looking for parts 5 (Thomas Jefferson), 6 (Benedict Arnold), 10 (Forgotten Heroes) and 11 (America's First Christmas). Anyone have a link or a place to buy?
No, what OReilly got right is Paul Revere didn't make it to Concord in time to warn them but did make it through Lexington. Also, "the British are coming" would make NO sense to say. Every colonist was a British citizen. It would make more sense for Paul Revere to yell "the Redcoats are coming!" or "the regulars are coming!" because that meant soldiers were coming. The more accurate phrase has nothing to do with Fox being PC.
Imagine thinking the name of a nationality isn't PC. They weren't trying to be "woke". They just got their basic facts straight. Those men were "regulars". Thanks.
fascinating how in the movie gangs of new york, leonardo's character's gang boards a ship in the harbor to find it has no loot, but they instead retrieve a cadaver...
Ryan Stoyles yeah big money in those days for a dead body. And priceless information on anatomy. You only had a day or 2 before you needed a fresh one.
Sue Taft rewrite history ? Do you know Joseph Warren was a doctor ? Did you know doctors needed a fresh corpse to study anatomy ? That’s history and a fact. What history are you referring too ? If it’s about Joseph Warren doing this during the tea party protest then fair enough. My source comes from family history past down from his grand daughter, my great great grandmother. I have information your history books either omitted or just plain ignored, in fact Joseph Warren in the last 30 years was almost forgotten in those dusty history books. He also penned the pseudonym True Patriot. So when it comes to rewriting history keep reading about how Columbus discovered America and how nice he was to the natives. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment.
What would have happened if the British outlawed the right to bear arms and thereby the ability to resist an oppressive government? What if they declared that right to be “Not Absolute”? Think about this as you think about who to vote for this November.
For Fox to be doing something like this is honestly comical because everyone else is always debunking their claims and exposing their contemporary lies.
William Eaton Not as comical as this comment of yours. The fact that you believe the BS you feed yourself is quite amusing. Just because Fox chooses to air a show depicting our nation's beginnings does not mean it is tainted or even conservative leaning. If you have seen an error in their reenactment please state them or else simply just shut up. People like you run their mouth (comment in social media) for the sake of hearing themselves.
So what about tarring and feathering of loyalists, kicking them out of their homes and making them homeless after being scalded. That’s real community non-oppressive spirit isn’t it?!
Am I the only one that loves the opening. Wish it was longer though. Its so epic and its quite empowering!
It's quite well-done. I'm not only enjoying it but learning as well--and I'm nearly 70.
Binge watching this stuff and it's absolutely great !!!
Always good work Bill O'REILLY. I love

Samee, ngl I kinda have a crush on John Hancock 💔😢

I wish we had this when i was in school.
This is no less than exellence in programming!

Good series. Wish you had all the episodes
"THE REGULARS ARE COMING OUT!!!!! GRAB A MUSKET IF YOU BE A PATRIOT MAN!!!!"

This is so great
Johnny Adams is the prime example of pushing someone too their breaking point

i love our boston boys
The loyalty of the southern colonies was always in question, even for the next two hundred years.

Paul Revere reminds me of Tom Hardy here.. 😁👍👌
We Are Venom!!!
I couldn’t stop myself from singing rally mohawks 14:05
The militia on Lexington green were actually turning to disperse, as ordered by their leader, when fired upon, not "standing firm"
How impressive is Joel King?
“The red coats are coming!”
The regulars are coming!!!
Sue Taft shut up bitch
Looking for parts 5 (Thomas Jefferson), 6 (Benedict Arnold), 10 (Forgotten Heroes) and 11 (America's First Christmas). Anyone have a link or a place to buy?
They didn’t use “The British are coming!”... I’m surprised they got that detail right.
Sue Taft what you talking about you dont even know wat your talking about
@@dardvader6 Fox News used the term, "regulars" because they are being "PC".

@@dundeeecroc
No… they’re using “regulars” because that’s more historically accurate.
While the tea party was happening, Joseph Warren was body snatching for anatomical purposes lol. He timed the tea party as a distraction.

@@andyanderson5326 Very true, and those corpses furthered the progress of medicine.
they used the regulars are coming

I would like to know also
That rally mohawks song.... Where can I find it?

I don't know

Didn't Paul Revere cry out, " the British are coming, The British are coming!" ? not the "regulars".
How much of this series is legend and how much is lies?
Its mostly dead on in the pertinent details. Probably the most accurate tv/film portrayal ever produced.. 👍👌✌🇺🇸
First
Ok only into e2, but it seems to me that Sam Adams was a shit stirrer bu not a fighter!
For Fox to be doing something like this is honestly comical because everyone else is always debunking their claims and exposing their contemporary lies.
Yeah fox news is very questionable, but it would have been more comical if CNN and MSNBC were presenting this series.
Most directions and actors actually have nothing to do with the actions of the studio.
Fox is far better than cnn or msdnc.
William Eaton

fox news has a new slogan. "long live king rump"
TDS is real.
Shut up
Oppressive empire? Don't make me laugh

Is it not amazing how history repeats itself hmmmmmmmm
