The Patriot Stand on Lexington Green - April 19th, 1775

[@duglife2230]

I have to salute John Parker for doing what he did. He was a dying man who probably felt out right terrible on that morning, but he still got out and stood up for something he believed in. Sadly he never lived to see that come true.

[@jasonrogers469]

Probably the first true American combat hero of the war, he led well at Concord and chasing the British back to Boston as well. If memory serves, he died the following autumn.

Captures the tense moments before combat. Superb series!

[@travelingman484]

Again I say! It’s the people hitting the thumbs down that concerns me.

[@yankeedoodle7365]

And thats the start of a great war for freedom.

[@schizoidboy]

When the world changed forever.

[@andyinpa1]

America’s first veterans.

2 months later Major Pitcairn was killed at The battle of Bunker Hill

I have a 72-year old ancestor names Moses Barnes who was in one of the native home guard units of Minutemen who answered the call that morning following Lexington and participated in hounding/sniping the British all the way back to Boston. The dude was 72-years old and was brave enough to shoulder his musket and fight tyranny that day. He ended up living until the ripe old age of 88 which was completely unheard of for that time… RIP Moses, you brave Patriot and Son of the Revolution!

Happy Revolution day 2019!

Happy? Revolution day 2020... It might be time again

The Battle of Shiloh had more casualties than the entire Revolutionary War.

[@kuhndog63]

I have always thought that it was more than likely a Patriot that fired first as the British soldiers were well trained and the Patriots pretty much not at all, at first. Probably an unaimed panicked shot as the Patriots were falling back. I really enjoy studying the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. Looking forward to watching these videos.

The british army was not in as great a shape as we often depict them. They where in vary poor shape due to poor discipline and leadership at the time. It vary well could have been a british soldier

[@mac2894]

Samuel Adams is known to have been in town that morning. He and John Hancock were the presumed targets of the raid (the Americans did not know it was weapons and munitions the Brits were after, but assumed it was Adams and Hancock). I've long believed Adams fired the shot while Hancock was busy leaving town.

[@sariekitchen]

My theory is that Paul Revere, who claims he wasn't watching, actually saw a colonist fire from behind a stone wall, which is how the truth was buried. This is what he reported to Joseph Warren, who told the Continental Congress. Warren had previously told Revere that the only way the legislative body would support a war, if it came, was if the British regulars were the aggressors. This would give Revere the perfect opportunity to lie, and keep it neutral.

A British officer on horseback was struggling to control his horse and may have accidentally fired a shot.

Do you think it's a coincidence that the most free nation in the history of the planet Earth is also the one most heavily civilian armed?

[@DoughBoi_1918]

Yeah,Minutemen!

I think the English did sieze the supplies at Concord.

[@garyworthing4990]

No...it was all moved

[@GreybeardWanders]

Wasn't really a "stand" was it? More of a "The patriots run away at Lexington Green".

[@theinvisiblequeen]

And chased the British Army all the way back to Boston, shooting and killing many on the way. So...who's the fool, fool? The man who wisely hides behind trees and rocks and kills the enemy who are trying to kill you, or the bunch of men who stand in an easily shot group in the middle of an open field? Don't be a foolish idiot.

[@samuellambe1568]

the lobster backs was a term used in the war of 1812 not in the revolutionary war.

[@Bulldog1653]

Redcoats was a Revolutionary War term though.

Virginia 2020 if the governor keeps pushing it. I pray the court system will save us from his tyranny and it doesn't come to this, but knowing how far Bloomberg's money has reached into this once proud state I am not optimistic.

[@FiatBurner]

3 months later and you are on house arrest and your businesses are shut down by order of the tyrant. I'd say it's time.

[@BigKeithDog]

@@FiatBurner The minutemen must ride again. 77 militia stood against 700+ soldiers. Liberty will rise again

[@whatservicetojoin8593]

@Liberty or Death 1776 Liberty or Death 1776 - Considering MDA march in REDCOATS ! LITERALLY ! Marching in Rows & Columns in Red Coats - exactly like the Red Coats in the 1770s - wonder y they have not been shot ? Maybe there have been cases where MDA Red Coat marches HAVE been shot & it is being covered up ? Censored ? Hidden somehow ??????????????????

[@robertoferrari5397]

..target the officers first.

[@carletonrutherford1799]

I'm not watching this. It sounds like american patriot propaganda to me. Am I wrong?

[@SAM57119]

Hi. Did you do your own research?

[@dranilskuttabadkar7983]

The americans should have fired rather tgan retreating
