Great video One of my favorite historical topics To think I live where some of it happened is amazing. Got chills watching

[@ErikKSwanson]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. It’s a shame that more isn’t done to preserve and promote the history in much of the U.S.

Kenneth Roberts wrote many fictional books of this period, including Northwest Passage, which was made into a film starring Spencer Tracey. Roberts book give a very balanced view of both sides in the political struggles that led up to the revolutionary war.

For Canadians, the War of 1812 is the most important war. Jefferson told Madison that taking Canada [sic] would be as easy as marching. It didn't turn out that way and fortunately Canada became its own country. Even Polk's campaign slogan "54.40 or bust" went bust. Don't get me wrong, I like Americans, I just don't want to be one.

[@cowboyschad5x778]

Canada is just a American vassal state like the rest of Western Europe. You’re not a American but your country is subservient to ours

Erik, I just discovered your channel this morning. However just wanna say I'm already an instant sub, I love the work you put into these and making films about stuff you're interested in instead of consistent content is something I love ab what you're doing. Would love to somehow do the a similar thing myself someday. Anyways just wanted to say that I love your channel now keep it up

Robert Rogers was the man!!

[@ErikKSwanson]

It’s pretty cool that his rules of ranging are still taught

[@MarkL-we8uk]

@@ErikKSwanson absolutely. He was a formidable force of nature. Sadly, very misunderstood

[@ErikKSwanson]

@@MarkL-we8uk I've been wanting to do more research on him. I only know the basics. This comment has me intrigued and motivated to take do the deep dive on him

[@MarkL-we8uk]

@ErikKSwanson he was the most famous American born and raised soldier of the pre revolutionary period. He had a meeting with George Washington at the outbreak of the revolution, however after this meeting he joined the British. He spend several years in London between the French / Indian War and American Revolution. I guess he was too British for the Americans and too American for the British.

[@ErikKSwanson]

@@MarkL-we8uk very interesting. Thanks!

I miss the good old days of French dominance over North America. I wonder what the world would be like if they would have been able to hold on part of North America. Would it have brought war to North America or closer collaboration between French and English?

[@ErikKSwanson]

I saw a TV show a while ago, I think it was called "The Butterfly Effect," that talked about this kind of stuff. They would pick a pivotal event in history and speculate on what the world would be like if that event hadn't happened.

[@JonDoeNeace]

There was no French dominance in North America. The majority of the Louisiana Purchase region were regions that the French had never settled. Can't sell what you never rightfully purchased. 🤔 Check your documentation. The Chickasaw Nation was targeted by the French & Canadians in their journal entries. Their officers claimed our tribe was an impediment to progress because we didn't allow a Mississippi River Trade Route from Canada to Louisiana, and therefore stated it'd be better to wipe the tribe off the map. I'm grateful the English wiped the French off the map instead. Then we also facilitated an English trade route through the Mississippi connecting the continent. As the French had failed to achieve.

@@Emixam9090 what a racist statement.

[@JonDoeNeace]

@@Emixam9090 as if that isn't an openly racially discriminatory statement. Don't speak again.

[@JonDoeNeace]

@@Emixam9090 That's a lie. They did. You're stupid and blind if you think otherwise. And you used a racial slur to describe our tribes.

[@nadesanpermaul683]

This is too simplistic an analysis of the impacts of the 7 Years War/French and Indian War, and the causes of the American Revolution.

WAR , men behaving badly, nothing to be proud of. 🤮

[@cowboyschad5x778]

It’s reality. Grow up. Being a man dressing like a girl is nothing to be proud of, sodomy is nothing to be proud of. But fighting for your people and sacrificing for them certainly is something to be proud of. That’s what real pride looks like. I’m so thankful to my ancestors and proud of what they built

[@mikedonnarumma5337]
