Not to miss The Battle at Saratoga NY. Which was key to the French supporting the colonies.

[@PilgrimBangs]

You all used to put out detailed animated battles for the Civil war like Gettysburg, and Antietam. I haven't seen one except for those tiny 2 minute versions. When are you going to put out a full length animated battle analysis? I find them fascinating and very informative. There's certainly plenty of battles in the history of this nation you could draw upon.

Saratoga prevented Burgoyne from linking up with Clinton in NYC and severing the colonies. Kinda important.

I started the video.... Looked down to take a bite of my sandwich and the video was over! Unsatisfactory

[@ethanrepublic]

this gave me a chuckle but yeah it was too short

[@Vinylcommunity89]

Saratoga was like Gettysburg

[@lycaonpictus9662]

Saratoga had greater impact on the course of the conflict than Gettysburg did with the Civil War. Gettysburg was the bloodiest battle of the American Civil War but it was not a major turning point. Vicksburg & the Battle of Atlanta were more comparable to Saratoga as battles that shaped the outcome of a war.

@@lycaonpictus9662 thank you

[@martinkenyon883]

I guess Saratoga wasn't big enough OR important enough to make the list.... Why do they even bother to make these 46 second videos??? Total waste of their time and ours. Make some serious full length videos, when you do they are really good , but this stuff is just disappointing. Cant even give it an F ....the grade is " incomplete" !

[@Grunt802VT]

Yeah a 47 second video!! Unsatisfactory

[@vespelian5769]

The fourth English Civil War, the third English Revolution and the first American Civil War all in one.

[@peterkrarup9222]

And the first World War, as Britain & France went at it world-wide.

[@Julio-cu1fq]

Pensacola?!

[@tnarggrant9711]

46 seconds for a google results video.

[@johnnylefthand6628]

Longer video please. Explain each battle, then compare why the size did/didn't matter.

[@johnschindler3095]

What fort is in the background at the end?

[@martinkenyon883]

Looks to me like a fort in Petersburg National Park.

[@AmericanBattlefieldTrust]

That is Fort Stevens in Washington, D.C.

[@daveh322]
