They Must Not Reach Virginia! - Battle of Guilford Courthouse (Sound Repair)

[@Annie5.56]

My 7th great grandfather is Col. Arthur Forbis. He shot the first shot and hit a general under Cornwallis. Arthur hit him at 150 yards and was picked by greene due to his marksmanship. He was the first buried there. Arthur was the captain of the Tennessee Militia and greene also had Sam Houston of the Virginia militia. Arthur was hit in the leg and got a bayonet . He refused amputation and said he wanted to die in one piece. Great video! I’d love to go there someday! Excellent historian!!thank you for educating folks for often forgotten American history!

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

I saw Col. Forbis monument when I was there last Saturday.

[@shady2189]

Love the content and presentation, it appears that the picture for Nathanial Green is actually of Daniel Morgan.

[@BobbyBowker]

Best video I’ve seen about Guilford Courthouse. Good to see people still passionate about the War of Independence.

[@nordy4981]

Thank god, I’ve been waiting for so long. Thank you for continuing your amazing work.

[@GrimBattalia]

Thanks Matt, that means a lot! Knowing that people are enjoying the content really inspires me to keep putting videos out there

[@nordy4981]

Anytime friend anytime

[@93Grimmy]

Glad to see you're finally back, hoping there's some new content soon

[@billrichardson1506]

I thoroughly enjoy your videos. They are well thought out and informative. Just a couple of points. First, Tarleton was a Lt. Colonel at Cowpens, not a general. And your picture of Greene is actually that of Daniel Morgan. Again, I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great and important work.

[@jonahbarnes5841]

You really are a great historian! I'm reading your videos for reference on a research book on writing about the war. You've done your homework, and you've done a great service to amateur KZbin historians like me

[@panthar1]

I have no doubt that your channel will get much larger, if you keep making good, quality videos. Thanks.

[@GrimBattalia]

I really appreciate the support, thank you!

[@T555BIRD]

THAT IS A PICTURE OF DANIEL MORGAN!...NOT NATHANIEL GREENE!

[@dickdowdell5813]

Greene was much younger than the picture of Dan'l Morgan used by mistake here.

[@brianzinszer9365]

He also spelled Greene’s name wrong.

[@lhartatt]

Yep. D. Morgan. Not Greene.

[@charlieshepherd4743]

Definitely a pic of Daniel Morgan, not Nathaniel Greene!

[@duanedamon1848]

Good job! Gave me a good deal of information and background. The troop movement graphics were very helpful as well. Thanks!

[@chrisgrimaldi2421]

Looking forward to Yorktown, was wondering why no video for the fourth haha

[@Laura-gz5jp]

Love your videos! Can't wait for more!!!

[@GrimBattalia]

Hi Guys, new content coming soon. The Seige of Yorktown will be out, at best, by Sunday, and at worst by the end of next week. Thanks for the support! Sorry guys, as you can surely tell, now some sentences got cut off. Definitely an improvement over the last version but I can't catch a break haha

[@richardputz3233]

Grim Battalia I watched both any way.

[@danielboone21]

Good video. Thanks for the good work.

[@GrimBattalia]

Hi all, the next video will end the American revolution, and there are only there videos on the topic planned thereafter. Would you be more interested in more videos exploring the lesser-known aspects of the revolution (i.e., the American Indian Wars in NY, Invasion of Canada, Etc.), major battles of the civil war, or the Franco-Prussian war?

[@martincarberry8560]

You have Daniel Morgan pictured several times in your presentation identified as Gen Nathaniel Greene. Otherwise very nice account of the southern campaign..

[@apfelsnutz]

Thanks you for the video... please say after me...CA-VALL-RY....thanks again !

[@jaywinters2483]

This is very well done as a really good video I would only go due to redo the audio because the clarity is not very clear. 👍

[@philRminiatures]

Lovely video, nice explanations and illustrations...better than mine! Great job!

[@iratespartan13]

That's Daniel Morgan! Besides that error, the video was excellent.

[@rooo9802]

There were two problems with the video. 1. King’s Mountain was not an “ambush”. Major Ferguson in command of the British forces knew that he was about to be attacked. He had retreated to avoid combat. When he could no longer avoid battle he chose to defend himself at King’s Mountain. Where he was defeated in a ‘set piece’ battle. 2. In the ‘Race to the Dan’ General Cornwallis burned his own supply wagons. He was not attempting to cross the Dan river first, but to destroy General Greene before he could cross the rain swollen river. Greene got there first, and crossed first, saving his army. At Guilford Court House Gen. Cornwallis attacks Gen. Greene’s army which was more than twice his size. In the Race to the Dan, why would he not have wanted to attack a defeated force which out numbered him by only about fifty percent and which had its back to a swollen river? If Cornwallis had won, he could have destroyed Gen. Greene. Also he would have freed some 500 British prisoners the Continentals were holding.

[@joshuacruz4244]

No

[@MarkKusy]

Are we sure that painting is Nathaniel Green? It looks like Daniel Morgan......

[@Joseph70663]

That was well done!!

[@johnkeviljr9625]

The portrait was Daniel Morgan not Nathanael Greene. Just a heads up.

[@cameronwright440]

Good summary... However, Banastre Tarleton was a Colonel in the British Army. He never acquired the rank of General.

[@raynabozny2338]

Your picture of Greene at 6 min is actually a picture of MORGAN

[@bigslice4738]

This is an old video but the race to the Dan and then the crossing is where I live at. It’s celebrated every year the town also supplied greenes men and provided men as well their names are on our streets

[@jimdaspit6287]

That picture is Morgan, not Green

[@donchichivagabond1578]

The screaming at the end went on for a long time. It sounded like the recording from hell.

[@ragnorrock416]

You are using a wrong map there was no W.V at that time.

[@jakefifeofficial]

This was a great video on my favorite battle of the American Revolutionary War. How did you make the battle maps?

[@GrimBattalia]

Thanks, I appreciate the support! I made the maps using this website: inkarnate.com/. It's very simple and easy to use. It's main weakness is that it is difficult to portray hills on the map (in situations where that would be relevant to the Battle)

[@karlharrelson1091]

No sound.

[@mdj.6179]

Why does the map have West Virginia's border?

[@wdtaut5650]

2:44 The map suggests Florida was controlled by the British in 1781. In fact, it was Spanish territory. Michigan, though, was British controlled. 9:43 "...not a man of the _corpse_ had been killed..." You probably mean 'corps'.

[@louprentz8554]

I GREW UP ABOUT A MILE FROM THE BATTLEFIELD

[@hopalongjohnny9797]

Lou Prentz I believe there are soldiers buried at the Gboro museum, it was a make shift hospital for this battle.

[@MichaelWooten-f7h]

Everyone here have relatives that fought in the battle ? I sure do.

[@richardtalbott6215]

The green barrettes, eh?

[@daveberntson4081]

Great content, but I can't say the same for the delivery. Slow down and speak clearly.

[@glenncook8915]

Your map shows Atlanta. That city did not exist for another 60 plus years. Another one that loves to change history!!!

[@thedrewb2273]

Alot of this is taken directly from Wikipedia

[@bryanthenderson1501]

This short video is a segment of a longer presentation by a professor of history from the University of South Carolina. There is significant detail here that complements this video on Guilford Courthouse. Part 8 of 8: From the Race to the Dan to Cornwallis at Yorktown kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKHEfJKirNGFh6s

[@louprentz8554]

MY GGGGGGGG GRANDFATHER FOUGHT IN THIS BATTLE AND WAS LATER KILLED BY TORIES. COL ANDREW BALFOUR. HIS WIDOW WAS APPOINTED THE FIRST POST MISTRESS IN THE U.S.

[@larryreese6146]

Mine was there too, there and several other places. He started the war as a regular, was discharged and was an adjutant in N.Carolina Malitia. By the time of the courthouse he had joined the S.Carolina State Troops, cavalry under the command of William Washington.

[@ChrisBrown-hr6mc]

You forgot to talk about Elijay Clark and his militia men in Georgia called the hornets nest!

[@chrispauls7178]

Historians and others have stated that the NC militia was instructed to fire and then fall back but that isnt true. And if they hadnt ran Cornwallis probably wouldve lost the battle.

[@rev.dr.davidcole8915]

Corps is pronounced COOR like the beer. Of French etymology, the "P" is silent.

[@DonAbrams-hq7ln]

I hope Odumbo reads this, he's a corps type. Lol

[@jaysonp9426]

Wait...the Americans had bayonets?

[@seventhson27]

Cornwalis: "One more victory like this will be the ruin of us." He was wrong. After the battle, Cornwalis had to go lick their wounds at a place called Yorktown.

[@wdtaut5650]

"Cornwallis had to go lick _his_ wounds..." I doubt he licked someone else's wounds.

[@bryanthenderson1501]

No, Cornwallis did not go to Yorktown to lick his wounds. He marched his beleaguered forces to the seaport of Wilmington, NC, at the mouth of the Cape Fear River. After a two-week respite there, having been resupplied by the Royal Navy, he marched north through eastern NC into Virginia. He conducted several smaller campaigns around VA before moving to Yorktown, where he expected to be resupplied and reinforced again by the Royal Navy.

[@azchick1820]

Even though I’ve always found the Revolutionary War inspiring, I couldn’t bring myself to wade through any of the detailed (and mostly turgid) tomes about it. . . However, your series peovides just the amount of highlights and details to make the war «digestible » and more easily comprehended. Thank you for presenting such significant history for all. My only suggestion is to lower the volume of the overarching music because it competes with hearing your descriptions. Just a suggestion and thanks again!
