Battle of Lexington Reenactment 2022

[@MrSkunkwork]

From all the way out in way-out California, I just wanted to say - cheesy as it might be - seeing this brought a few tears to my eyes. I’ve never attended a reenactment but always wanted to. Seeing how it all started with just handful of regular folk in the face of a clearly superior force (both in terms of numbers and training) is awe-inspiring. And reenacting it brings history to life. On a separate note, we have an exact replica of Independence Hall (Philadelphia) here, where you can see what the room looked like; there’s audio dialogue playing. Beautiful!

Sad the commie libs in California want to piss away our constitutional rights and our republic to give away to the commie Marxists and communist Chinese government

Imagine the response if the militia capt. said to Pitcairn: "The damnable rebels are present, ready and defiant, sir!"

[@firingallcylinders2949]

They'd find out on Breed's Hill what was up

[@WysteriaGuitar]

Those officers on horseback would have stayed closer to the troops as they advanced, other than that - not a bad reenactment...

Thank for naming individuals, wounded, this first time I heard names being mentioned, I have ancestry connected, With Concord, Salem Massachusetts, Antwerp New York, and various across our Nation, 🇨🇦, Fairfax Virginia.

That's some awesome acting/ action, almost makes you wunder how it actually went in real life that time but this way gives us a example. I bet the founding fathers would be proud of this action it, of a way of a remainder what they gone through and shows people today especially them who haven't forgotten about our revolutionary war. Sometimes I wish I can come down to visit and see this in action, so it would give me a much better idea what our founders went through. But I have to say the music the British was playing sounds beautiful..lol

We need to give our children connection to the glorious past when we began to attain freedom from authoritarian tyranny.

[@ottoaberger2006]

non dicipline just run forward

[@juliasmith9719]

Thank for this education moment 🙏, we should forget this day and events leading to Ametican Revolutionary War, we are going through again folks.

[@juliasmith9719]

Tyranny any form never takes a day off, we should always vigil to this fact.

[@Dryhten1801]

Tyranny = Compensation for war started by Americans, and the emancipation of slaves.

[@Garrettfists112]

damn i thought the british army suck at combat

[@andrewlove1971]

This was the top military force of its time. And remained so for a very long time…. Professionals through and through… Hard to remember that in the lens of our times…

[@Dryhten1801]

@@andrewlove1971 Why is that? The British Army is a formidable ally to the US.

[@Dryhten1801]

Not at all

[@CrimsonThunderSB]

@@Dryhten1801 this was a reenactment of what happened in 1775

[@thikifo395]

the british rely on discipline and training as they have since the last English civil war. the troops in the american revolution are experienced vets of colonial conflict and the Seven Years war
