I've seen numerous iterations of the Battle of Bunker Hill Paintings since I was a kid. So it's nice to learn some of the history from my nostalgic childhood, which I'm passing on to my kids.
Their enemy was tyranny, not the British people. The Declaration of Independence includes the line, Americans will treat the British people 'as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends’. That’s why imo the American revolution succeeded while the French one happened a few years later was a total bloodshed: the Americans fought for liberty, and the French fought for hatred. Sad to see many people today don’t seem to understand that the founders fought an ideology instead of a group of people.

Thank you.
A fine video by Old Brook. Interesting that the New Englanders fight the Crown and then move to England and even intermarry with the English.
