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.

Being a Boston native with ancestors who took part in this battle, I’m very glad to see you cover it! 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.

I'm still super angry that British colonists turned on their own country and betrayed them in an uprising. Then they changed their name to 'Americans' like that magically made them genetically different to the British... I honestly think the traitors got very lucky in the sense that Britain was fighting a war against the French and Spanish at that time in Europe so couldn't spare as much resources to fight the traitors. The British public were also against fighting people who they saw as British so the war was unpopular, kind of like Vietnam. Finally the fact was the thirteen colonies were not profitable enough to warrant sending more and more resources to keep hold of it or take it back. The real money was the massive resources of British Canada, which the British successfully defended in the war of 1812. It angers me that the traitors who call themselves Americans now, consider their actions as admirable and honorable. They call themselves the rebels and make up silly justifications that they were not being represented by Britain, all lies of course. The fact is they are traitors to their country and should be utterly ashamed of themselves. If the British Empire really saw the thirteen colonies as essential the traitors would have been wiped out. Their army and navy could not take on the full might of the British Empire. The traitors only defeated a small Expeditionary Force. The royal navy was untouchable and could have blockaded every single port in the colonies forever and destroy their trade. I see the fourth of July as traitor day.

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.

The militia from my town attacked the British on Battle Road the day of the shot heard around the world in modern day Arlington (then Menotomy, renamed in honor of the National Cemetary in the late 1860s).

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
@dominicguye8058 11 ай бұрын
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
@davidkaminski615 11 ай бұрын
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.

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.

@@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.

Exploring Boston and other Revolutionary War landmarks, with ancestors who were part of that era, I'm delighted to see this series receiving the recognition it merits. Exceptional work, as usual!

Great content as always guys, but I think you made a slight mixup with two guys named Clinton. George Clinton, whose name and picture were used here, was an American who was the Governor of New York and later be Vice President. Henry Clinton, the British General, is the one active during the fighting here. Thought I'd let you know while things are still early on in the series.

The map at :58 shows great Sacandaga lake in NY despite the man made lake not being there for over another hundred years. Great video I just though that was interesting.

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.

Having grown up in the suburbs of Boston, and being a Scout, we annually walked the 'Freedom Trail' that links many of the prominent sites within the city. We also hiked the 'battle road' that the British soldiers used in their expedition to Lexington and Concord, and their retreat back to Boston. It's easy to feel pity for the soldiers as they marched back through Lexington through increasing groups of militia arriving from across the area. Only Percy's relief column prevented a complete rout.

7:04 The third British general was Sir Henry Clinton, not George Clinton. George Clinton was the 1st Governor of New York and a future Vice President.

So far so good. I grew up right there in Norwood... live in Natick now. Looks like they have Blue Hills on the map. I was in the Framingham Comp of Militia and Minute when a teenager and did the re enactments. The big 250 th is coming up they have been fixing up the area and period houses along Battle Road.

Excellent summary, very well done. Most Americans never understand the elements leading to the war, and eventually our Independence. They also do not know that the actual war was sparked by a British attempt to disarm the colonists by seizing the colonies gunpowder stores in Concord and Williamsburg: British attempts at Gun Control started the Revolution and the Revolutionary War.

Nope. It’s the first shot at Lexington. The one no one knows who shot first. But 7 or 8 Americans died there. Thats the shot heard round the world. Concord was later the same day. North Bridge.
