Better than that...

But the French General refused the saber and sent the English Captain to give it to George Washington. Later, the votes of the first congress of the young independent republic of the USA, to thank the French and France, voted for privileged trade agreements with ... England... 😕All French honor and greatness in front of English and US Anglo-Saxon hypocrisy and perfidy.

@@mikelaughlin270 From what I can tell, the French were in no way 'being oppressed', but had just lost the seven years' war. France saw this as a big oppurtunity to avenge itself, and openly declared its support, and declared war on England. According to wikipedia ' France was not directly interested in the conflict, but saw it as an opportunity to contest British power by supporting a new British opponent.' Spain was involved for similar reasons. The Dutch Republic was also slightly involved, as part of the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War, but it is also worth nothing that this war led to the decline of the Dutch Republic and led to the British Empire becoming the leading commerical power

@@DV_Dark_Jedi You say that. During the start of the war the British army was really hammering the American forces. It wasn't until Dutch, Spanish and French military aid turned the tide of the war. People like to think it was the US militia men and continental army that won. But they received substantial help in terms of troops, supplies and money from the aforementioned nations. So in reality. It was the UK (a strong power) vs France (strong), Spain (a dwindling power but still strong at this moment) the Netherlands (financially strong with a decent navy) and the Thirteen Colonies (native defenders with the home advantage). It's not surprising the UK lost with the odds stacked against them so much. If it was JUST the colonies vs the UK, it would have been a very different outcome.

Contrary to what propaganda makes the British out to be the truth is that England was the most democratic country in the world at that point with Scotland being the second most democratic. It`s also worth mentioning that a lot of Englishmen wanted to give the US a parliament but their own was in gridlock for various reasons. All that aside at that time America was dumping ground for all the scumbags they didn`t want home and there was a sense of disgust against the things they were doing like slavery for example.

Thanks buddy. I’ve always loved Americans. Maybe not the woke crazy ones of today but the culture and music, humour, cinema, obviously inventions which were on a high level like that of our own. I will never understand why many non white Americans seem to deny being American Citizens and are against your Country and Culture like it’s uncool or something, then again it’s the same here in England these days. We are hated from within and everywhere else despite doing so many countless incredible things for the worldwide community as a whole.

It's a fantasy, made by a man who never misses a chance to have a go at the British or more specifically the English. Check out Braveheart, it has no basis in historical reality at all. In the film Mel and his Scots burn York. (in reality they didn't) and he sleeps with the future Queen of England. Ludicrous. Oh and he personally invents a weapon that the Scots had been already using for centuries. Laughable. His film Gallipoli is another example, all the English fault. Except it actually wasn't. If you want to know about the history of your country Mel Gibson is not the source to go to. I'm not convinced he's a great lover of Jewish people either.

I love it in the movies when someone gets a serious injury to a limb, like a bullet to left upper arm, and fight as if it was "tis but a scratch."

[@jackcoleman1784]

It's actually not that unbelievable. Seriously. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug and they're in prolonged combat so it was definitely pumping. I once tore my ACL in a mosh pit and still walked a mile on it back to my car, drove 45 minutes home, and went to bed. Didn't know anything was wrong until the middle of the night when the adrenaline finally subsided. I literally didn't feel a thing I just noticed my leg was moving weird. Also he was using his other hand to fight with. He got shot in the non dominant hand.

The revolution was an utter disgrace. Greedy British men killing other British men so they didn't have to pay tax. The founding fathers were traitors to their country first and foremost. If they didn't rebel, slavery would have been ended a decade earlier in the US. There'd be no cold war, no Vietnam, no segregation, all the global problems I the world would simply not exist if those founding fathers actually had honour instead of greed. Traitors and villains, who perpetuated all the ills in the world
