6:07 they left bc they hated Britain, and hated the church and the monarchy.

your Goat couldn't even score at any world cup knockout match.

The way I understood it, it was either "let us rule ourselves" or "consider us full British subjects and give us all the rights of everyone else."

What am I watching?

where did they get the arms, they had them to defend themselves and to hunt.

Americans always have been well armed. They lived in the wilderness and mountains teaming with bears, gators , and American Natives . Plus Americans had to police themselves before the British troops showed up.

Messi has a World Cup now so...and 8 balón dors so...

esportssssss

Who the fuck is the dumbass who said they got all their gun guns from the French who the fuck is the dumb ass?

When it came to old style gun warfare, the idea wasn't about accurately shooting a vital spot, but your group shooting so many muskets at once that something had to hit somewhere vital on members of the enemy forces. And even if they don't die immeadiately, just making them unable to fight further and become dead weight was a 'win'

Love this vid. Real good advice.

Takes me back man ❤

QPR, NOT MANCHESTER UNITED

When reactors skip sponsorships, I know to just avoid them. They are just stealing content at that point

Tommy going deaf from his own subscribe clip is hilarious

Well, it's worth noting that during that war with France, the Colonial militia were front-and-center on the front lines, doing raids and scouting ahead since they knew the terrain, putting themselves at risk as well. So it's not as if they'd just sat back and let the British Army do all the work. Also, many of the weapons and cannons were simply privately owned in the early days of the war. They weren't all the most recent models, but they were serviceable. Others were seized stockpiles or leftovers from the French and Indian War.The French assistance and arms came later in the war.

The thing is that the stamp act did actually include cards

Reading the chat talk about Christianity gave me brain damage.

I think you have a few misunderstandings, partly from the very abbreviated video. First, Goerge Washington was not born in Britain. He was in the British army, the only army that existed in the colonies. Also, there were a lot of people that lived in America, that did come from Britain, but most of the population were born in America. And as time went by, more & more Americans were born in America vs. coming from Britain. Secondly, the Americans did not 'bankrupt the UK over the French Indian war, since most of it was supplied by Americans. Of course, there was some cost by having to ship some British soldiers and weapons over to America to fight the French and Indians. The REAL cost to Britain was the 7 years war in Europe that was between the British and the French, so the Americans did not feel responsible to Britain about recovering their war costs. Thirdly, you seems so surprised that Americans had their own weapons, but there had been manufacturing in America a long time. In addition, populating the entire continent required having guns, for both acquiring food and to fight Indians as well as to ward off dangerous animals. Of course, gun technology at this time still came from Europe, so most American manufactured weapons were of European design. Here are two important points about guns in America at this time: (1) The rifle was introduced a few decades before the American Revolutionary War, and these were mainly used for shooting game at long distances. These were known as Kentucky Rifles, and became fairly important int he revolution. They were used most often as snipers, shooting the British officers, and the British had nothing to shoot back with at such distances. All the other long guns used on both sides were muskets, that had no rifling and were very inaccurate. A lot of the 'minute man' used rifles, or had muskets for general hunting, close range. (2) As a result of guns being needed for existence, and then in the Revolutionary War, gun ownership was easily inserted into the Constitution, and guns continued to be a very everyday necessity thru the entire expansion to the West, which finally ended in the late 1890s, the era of the 'Wild Wild West'. So, to this day, gun ownership is a guaranteed right in America, and about 43% of all American homes own at least one gun.

Taxes is the go-to shallow reason. The real reason was that Britain interfered with the governing of the american colonies. The british would either impose restrict laws, making it difficult for someone in power to do anything, or sent native british governors to administrate the colonies, but even they claimed the laws made it difficult. That's a reason why the british whig party vocally supported the colonies in the british parliament at the time. Note: all the reasons for the revolution are literally in the Declaration of Independence.

9:30 "Where did the Weapons come from?" From France, Spain and The Netherlands

Basically the early American aristocrats were upset about taxes and the possibility of slavery being abolished so they created a revolt based on "freedom".

great video tommy

hey at least American football isn't bought out by the Saudis

It's bullshit, I did not reach India! I did NAHT. Oh hi, Mark.

A little fun fact, the American public education system model is based off the Prussian military training model.

The US presidents only serving 2 terms totaling 8 years was a tradition that presidents followed until Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s and 1940s where he was elected to 4 terms but early in his 4th term he died in office and shortly afterwards Congress made an amendment to the Constitution that limited Presidents to 2 terms or if a vice president took over during after the president died then he can only be elected twice if he took over with less than 2 years left in the previous president's term (so in those cases a maximum of 10 years).

I'm neutral. Both

Man those days were crazy i dont miss it at all but it was crazy being a little squeaker in these games haha

Don’t think you will ever read this but you should consider checking it out again for the story and open world

😅

The Americans weren't ungrateful, the british sent over a large amount of troops, but the colonials did most of the fighting, and the british ended up getting shredded quite early on.

I'm related to both Benedict Arnold and George Washington, which awkwardly makes them both family now💀

Of course the german says Authoritarianism has good points.

Also, "the Patriot" combines several battles in South Carolina into one. Mostly the Battle of Cowpens.

I saw a comment that the Statue of Lierty was given to us by the FRench after the Revolutionary War. WRONG. It was given to us in 1876 for the Centennial celebration.

Mein Herr it would would have been ok, EXCEPT for all the freaking Taxes as you will see.

14:30 Tommy: "This is where I was" Also Tommy:

I like how the stamp act was basically sales tax and the US revolted for that but now some states have 10% sales tax.

15:43 this did not age well

What do you mean Washington was British in a way, 90% of first Americans were British XD

Washington was a Virginian military officer in their militia. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure he was ever formally part of the British army.

Lowkey if that Prussian guy didn’t come over we would’ve had a hard time

The colonies had their own weapon factories which is discussed in letters debating that very fact by the founding fathers

37:30 lmao

FNV is a the best RPG one of the most true "Open world" "any decision" games ever the world is alive but not a usless way that just takes up computer power it is absolutly wonderfull if you have played playthrough of the game and done the main quest and a few sidequests i would encourage you to play again but too just choose a directions or a random building on the map and just start walking and trust me you will find a amazing story you never knew existed

Musket rounds were the size of .50+ caliber bullets or 12.7+mm
