John Adams (TV Mini-Series) - 2008 - Boston Massacre - HD

Every time I rewatch this astounding series I always say the same thing: this is the absolute closest we will come to what it really was like.

[@IronMan-tk8uc]

Agreed. Tom Hanks and David McCullough really tried to capture the spirit of what it was like to live in those wretched times (legal slavery, poor medicine, no telephone). The sense of dread is real when you watch this series because it is this very feeling that makes anyone watching it feel the hardships of the era to break away from the superpower of the time, Great Britain and start a new nation from the scratch!

Crispus Attucks at 2:11. He of course is widely believed to be the first person to die in the Revolutionary War after taking two bullets in the chest

[@jmal]

A historical example of the "black dude dies first" trope.

[@davidchalmers2504]

Hm. You seem to be forgetting 11 year old Christopher Seider, who died about a month before Attucks at a different protest.

[@nickroberts1596]

@@jmal He was also half Wampanoag, at least. "Attuck" is the Wampanoag word for deer.

[@raymondanthony7393]

I am the actor who played Crispus Attucks in this movie. It was a great honor.

[@AcrylicFox]

Actually he took one shot in the lungs second in the live very badly causing his death.

[@blew1t]

this was a wise way to show this in the show. only showing it as the public saw it, the tragic result that makes the british look really bad

[@kamtheman106]

As applicable in 2020 as it was then. There is much to be gained by watching the John Adams mini series with fresh, modern eyes. Another great irony to me is the fact that the first casualty of the American Revolution was a black man. Black Americans have been giving their lives for this country - just like anyone else - since its literal beginning. I’m not sure John Adams would even survive these times unscathed either...

[@edp3202]

Similar to Kent University in Ohio debacle where National Guardsmen shot and killed protesting students.

[@SarahYusra-s7l]

Well if you literally take away people's freedom you deserve to look bad

Watch the whole thing, it's one of HBO's best miniseries imo

[@zyzor]

Many eyewitnesses actually commented on the discipline of the redcoats and the bravery of the young sentry who was assaulted nearly to death. It was this bravery that carried the British soldiers to victory in most battles of the war. They were excellent soldiers.

[@andrewstravels2096]

Though they were our adversaries, I would agree. Very disciplined and respected.

[@comegdjeja6557]

They didn’t win most battles though. Tf. They took like ten times the casualties everywhere they went.

[@zyzor]

@@comegdjeja6557 not true. Apart from bunker hill, British American casualties were typically on par with some major exceptions like; Camden (American suffered twice the British casualties), Charleston(city fell with 5,000 Americans taken prisoner.), brandywine, Savannah, paoli(technically a raid, Americans routed and massacred in the night with no British casualties.) quebec(Arnold’s army routed and captured with few British losses.waxhaws, another massacre, British legion suffering minor casualties and inflicting some 150 americans killed

[@JohnnyDeur]

@@zyzor well anyway good thing they LOST.

[@philliphampton5183]

There is no question about it, at the time and for some time before hand and indeed for some time after, the British regulars were the ultimate fighting force on planet earth.
