Battle of Bunker Hill 1775 - Beginning of the American Revolution

Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the early modern history continues with a series on the American Revolution - the War of American Independence. In the first video we discussed the main reasons why the Thirteen Colonies rebelled against the British crown ( • American Revolution - ... ), while the second will focus on the beginning of war, as the two sides clashed first at Lexington and Concord, and then near Boston at Bunker Hill.

Putting aside the question of whether you should use the French pronunciation of Iroquois or the English one, that isn't the name of the tribal confederacy in question. At the very least you should be dual labeling them as, "The Haudenosaunee, or Iroquois as the Colonists called them," but primacy should be given to their actual name.

I would personally love to see you cover King Philips’ war at some point (another bloody conflict my family saw action in). Although New England is most famous for the American revolution, the Salem witch trials, and Plymouth colony, King Philips war still remains the bloodiest conflict ever fought on New England soil yet it is rarely covered or talked about despite being so well documented.

Sad to see that Connecticut isn't being marked out in blue by the time of Bunker Hill. After Lexington and Concord Gage had sent a letter to the governor of Connecticut who responded by calling Gage a barbarian and was firmly in the rebel camp. He was the only pre-revolution governor of one of the colonies who would also server as a governor of the state afterwards as well.

[@NewVegasNerd]

Dr. Joseph Warren is, in my opinion, one of the more unsung heroes of the American Revolution. He is in officer in good standing, and insists on fighting on the front lines with the men instead of leading safely from the rear. Even as militiamen are starting to trickle out of the redoubt due to running out of ammunition, Warren stays, fighting to the bitter end. "These fellows say we won't fight! By Heaven, I hope I shall die up to my knees in blood!" Imagine being a common militiamen and hearing one of your officers say this, as redcoats begin advancing up the field in front of you. What an absolute legend. A true American hero. His sacrifice, among many others, surely stirred the hearts of many patriots and strengthened their resolve to continue to resist British tyranny.

[@doomkitty8386]

A couple of things to note on the map: 1) at 8:27 you can see a Native confederation on the map titled Iroquois. That's been their common name in English for years, but it's actually an insult given to them by their enemies. It would be more accurate to call them the Haudenosaunee, which is the name they have for themselves. 2) at 9:57 you can see Valley Forge and Morristown listed as forts. Patriot forces would establish winter camps there in future years, but had no military presence in 1775. Even when they became encampments, they never had defenses comparable to places like Fort Pitt or Fort Ticanderoga, which were permanent defensive positions rather than seasonal quarters.

[@dominicguye8058]

The map labels definitely seem to be for the revolution as a whole rather than just one point in the war. You can see a lot of places that are completely irrelevant in May 1775 but gain significance because of events later in the conflict, sometimes much later (Princeton, Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth Courthouse, Guilford Courthouse, Yorktown, Kings Mountain, etc) so that part is unlikely to be a mistake by Kings and Generals.

[@davidkaminski615]

Perhaps the use of labels of "Iroquois" is what they are known as being called. Then you don't have to bog down the narrative with an explanation of names. Most people know about the battle between the Monitor and Merrimac, but not the Monitor and Virginia. Most people recognize Twitter but not X. Ask Chicagoans where the Willis Tower is and they'll look at you funny.

[@doomkitty8386]

@@davidkaminski615 the difference here is that the people in question are asking us to change how we refer to them. Language is pliable and can change if society wants to change it. Despite your examples I could name others where terms and definitions have changed. As it is, removing a longstanding insult from a name seems to me like a better reason to update our language than the examples I've given. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3mylqCVbLeYa6csi=7psnC-_C6mKACmSu

[@TheReaperEagle]

The writer here: 1) The name, location, and territory of *every* indigenous tribe in North America is vague and debatable. There are so many conflicting attestations from in-period sources (including the tribes themselves) that getting it all "right" is way too much effort for youtube. Why they were called Iroquois in the first place is a mystery, but it *is* the name they're most known as (and sometimes use themselves to this day), so better to use that than risk confusing viewers. 2) @dominicguye8058 is correct, relevant locations are on the map from the beginning. It saves the artists a lot of time and effort.

[@doomkitty8386]

@@TheReaperEagle thank you for responding. I will address your second point first. I can appreciate saving time for the artists, which is why I did not mention the many battle sites that were not pertinent in 1775, but I mentioned what I did to help stave off any potential misunderstandings about the nature of the winter quarters. To your first point: I live in an area where the Haudenosaunee had a dubious land claim. However, it is indisputable that the region south of Lake Ontario was their heartland in the 1770s, and that is the area shown on the map. I see no issue with that. As for the name, I prefer to use what their community advocates. It may take time and can generate confusion in the process, particularly if there are older institutions that get grandfathered in with an older ethnic or racial name. I have had to juggle Iroquois vs Haudenosaunee in my own career for the reasons you named, but commenting on a KZbin video is something that is ironically easier for me to do precisely because I can focus on one or two things with my comment, rather than fitting it into a 25 minute presentation.

The fact that the British troops could march up a very steep hill against extremely well fortified enemies and heavy fire and do that multiple times is a testimony of discipline, courage, and bravery. Definitely one of the most amazing feats of the war.

[@LesHaskell]

My 4th great-grandfather, Caleb Haskell, marched out of Newburyport as a fifer in Captain Moses Nowell's militia company on April 19th, 1775. I think they left too late in the day to encounter the British column, but they made it to Cambridge. They were recalled back to Essex County within a day or two, because of a panic over a possible attack on the communities around the Merrimack River. In early May Caleb joined a newly formed company in Newburyport (Captain Ezra Lunt's) which marched to Cambridge and joined with other companies in Colonel Moses Little's Regiment. He was at the Siege of Boston, including the battle for Charlestown Peninsula (Battle of Bunker Hill), and in September went on detached duty in Captain Samuel Ward's Company in Lt. Col. Christopher Greene's Battalion as part of Colonel Arnold's Expedition to Quebec. While there he caught smallpox (and missed the assault on the city) and he and other members of his company were court-martialed after their enlistments had expired at the end of the year and were forced to re-enlist under the threat of whipping. He wasn't mustered out and allowed to leave until May, just before the British attacked and forced the whole army into retreat. Caleb made his way home up the St. Lawrence and Richelieu Rivers, down Lake Champlain to Crown Point and then down the Crown Point Military Road to the Fort at #4, and then finally home. He kept a diary which has been published. In March of 1815, Caleb's son, also named Caleb, married Fannie Matilda Betts from Saint John, New Brunswick. Her father, Dr. Azor Betts, had been a Loyalist and he and his family had fled to Nova Scotia from New York in 1783 to avoid political persecution. Dr. Betts had been recruited by Colonel Rogers as Surgeon in the Queen's Rangers, and after Rogers and other officers were removed, Betts joined up with Colonel James DeLancey's "Cowboys" in Westchester County, New York (the "Neutral Ground").

[@historysuit9418]

18:47 I am a little confused, why is George Clinton, at least the figure called “George” with George Clintons portrait, portrayed as being with the British? He was a Brigadier General for the Continental army and the governor of New York during the war. You guys might have mistaken him for Henry Clinton.

[@chasechristophermurraydola9314]

I can’t wait to see the next episode and hopefully it has in my opinion one of the most stupendous feats of logistics in American history and the entirety of the revolutionary war and this stupendous feat of logistics was the Knox Expedition and the goal of the expedition was to bring 60 tons of cannon from fort Ticonderoga to area around Boston and it would take 3 winter months to move the cannons by boat, Horse/ox drawn carriages and it required a lot of man power as they had to deal with the cold temperatures, Poor quality roads, two semi frozen rivers, Forests, Swamps and mountains and during the whole expedition not one single cannon was lost and when the cannons arrived at Boston they were sent to Dorchester heights and the sight of all the cannons on Dorchester heights forced the British to decide to flee/ evacuate Boston.
