I have served in the United States Navy for 4 years and the United States Army for 6, dual service, OIF OEF 3 tours. I am proud of that. Since the revolution my family has served, my family originally were apart of Truby Rangers in Western PA during the Revolution. My 5th great grand father and my 5th great uncles were on the muster and served the entire war! We have served in every war since! My Great Great Grandfather was Theodore C. Altman who served in the 59th OVI in Company H at the battle of Shiloh, his brother my uncle was killed in action day 2 and he was wounded. His anger for my great great uncles death made him come back and he fought at Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, and Kennesaw Mountain. His son. My great grandfather Birchard fought in the Argonne, and my grandfather WW2 USMC made all major landings in the pacific then came back and fought in Korea at Chosin, my dad was a vietnam veteran and my nephew is a paratrooper in the 173rd as we speak. Came here in 1749 as German immigrants and still in Ohio and serving to this day! We love this country. Thank you Washington for giving us this! If something ever happens, my oath doesn't expire, I will be back to defend the constitution and the flag.
Similar here, though I didn't serve and just teach history. My people came from France in 1754. Ggggg grandpa was a Westmoreland Ranger. His brother was in the Pennsylvania Line.

George Washington- One of the bravest men to walk on this earth. A humble, dignified, perseverant, courageous man with a powerful aura. One of the greatest allies of liberty.
@@marlonmorris8245 He owned 300 slaves, which he & wife freed upon their deaths. Some slaves choose to stay on. Without our winning our independence from the British we would still be under British rule. Why do we (U.S.GOVERNMENT) pay Queen Elizabeth 40 MILLION DOLLARS out of our SOCIAL SECURITY A YEAR ?!! And she just started paying taxes on this & cries about having to do that.
I have two ancestors that fought under General George Washington durning the revolutionary war, and it's a miracle they survived, if they hadn't I wouldn't be here today.
What a greatest honor for you to tell the story thay your ancestors secured our American dreams and future for all future generations in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. No men are short in their contribution to the victory of the American Revolution and whenever I start to doubt the USA for any reason, I think of their ultimate sacrifice not to let it go in vain. And we salute them for their service for outstanding bravery, courage and determination.
Best George Washington ever! You picked the perfect actor. I have been showing this to my 7th grade history class and will continue to show it in the future to all my US history students. Great film!
That is so good to hear, glad there are still teacher's who teach American history and don't degrade our founding father's and constitution! I'm a civil war enthusiast and it is so sad to see the young generation's completely indoctrinated about the civil war, being taught that it was all about slavery and the South is full of racist slave owner's.

@Crab In Prussian no the father's of the Confederacy were fighting to preserve the constitutional Confederate Republic that America was established as in 1776. Lincoln and the North illegally and treasonously implemented a Federal Nationalized Democracy. Geographically the war was fought over Western Expansion. The Union conquered not only sovereign Confederate territory, but also sovereign Native American Territories. Not many understand that the last Confederate General to surrender was a Native American, the leader of the Cherokee Territory! Less than 3%of the Southern populous owned slaves, the men who fought for the Confederacy were fighting for their nation's, private property right's, and the father's of the Confederacy. The Union since 1861 has not believed in private property right's, as American's are taxed for owning their own land. This is constitutionally illegal. Lincoln DID NOT have to invade the South and murdser hundred of thousands of innocent men and women in order to come to an agreement. If Florida seceded today would you be in favor of the Federal government invading Florida? Why was it different in 1861? Lastly, the state's should of had the right to end slavery in their nation, not the Federal government!! The industrial revolution ended agricultural slavery across the world, now we are all slaves in our tyrranical technocracy known as the 🇺🇸! God bless the Confederacy❌ Anti-Federalist
That's awesome to hear wish more teachers would teach true american history. Which I think the " The american covenast the untold story history book" will teach them the true history.
@@rebelsoul5980 Before Lincoln was even in office the southern states succeeded. The only thing they were trying to preserve was slavery as stated by their politicians and written in their state constitutions. Lincoln even addressed this after being sworn in. The average men fighting the war for the Confederacy were duped into believing it was over their rights. The south pushed because they wanted to preserve slavery, Lincoln wanted to preserve the union. Seeing that Europe was thinking about becoming involved he made it about slavery for the north as well. States could end slavery whenever they wanted. Southern states did not want to end it and kicked off a war to keep it. BTW, that "constitutional confederate republic" died during the formation of government because, as the confederacy learned, a confederacy cannot function as a country when each state is its own country and there is no central government regulating the basics
Most of us are, save the misguided leftists attempting to tear our nation apart. For us patriots, Washington remains first in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countryman 🇺🇸
just finished the 6 part tv mini series titled George Washington. Though I am a Filipino and had never set foot on an American soil, I appreciate these films, series. America has been a friend of our country and American soldiers fought side by side with our ancestors here in our land. So, it is not just respect that we have, but awe and inspiration watching your history in the moving screen. Salute!
Salute to you brother. One of our long lasting Allies, the Philippines are hand in hand with America and i know for a fact if American soil was invaded, the filipino military would be fighting to the death for us. I would say we as Americans have allies, but then we have blood allies that are more than that and I would rank the 🇵🇭 among the very top.
Although our countries have had rocky histories, we now stand together against forgeign aggression, may our alliance continue and our people cooperate for the years to come 🇵🇭🇺🇸
Thank you, man. You guys are such an Important ally. The Pacific may be a powder keg in the coming years, but I have no doubt you will be on the right side of history! ❤️🤍💙
Born in Boston 1960 I live in Quincy, Massachusetts , this area was a big part of early America, 2 presidents are from here and buried here, I get to walk by their statues everyday, I always think about how they had no book to go by, they literally put together the idea of the constitution, Washington, Jefferson, Addams, my freedoms are directly because of those amazing men, all the soldiers who died and fought throughout the decades, I'm very grateful to all who serve. 🙏🇺🇸
Very nice of you to display American virtues of patience , perseverance and patriotism in legend of our great national hero George Washington. It had to be divinely assisted to have so many pieces fall into place. Thank you
Something that you didn't know or you don't want to know is that Spain was the key factor for the win in The Revolutionary War. There is an article from The Massachusetts Society 'Sons of the American Revolution' ( SAR ) called ‘Spain and the Independence of The United States.’ And after reading the article it is not a surprise to know than the Spanish Commander Bernardo de Galvez has the same honour of be Honorary Citizeship of the United States like Laffayete…
I've watched this about a dozen times now. This is so well put together and makes the history seem entertaining and inspiring. I think I am going to incorporate more stories about Washington into my upcoming campfire stories video series. Such a motivational figure when told in a way that makes it relatable generations later.
Whats amazing this Leader who was under such pressure to keep his army together and provide leadership under such dwindling odds was able to keep his head in the game and not fall apart despite the cold frigid winters and little supplies from a distant congress. We Americans have so much to be thankful for the ultimate sacrifices of these men and women. Today more then ever we need a Washington. Will there ever be another one, we will never know.
I think Trump was the closest thing we've had so far, but the situation was a bit different, much more complicated, much more evil embedded in secret, to weed out. It would be like Washington trying to manage the war from Britain, in parliament, but with traitors in both America and England multiplied into the thousands, if not millions. Or imagine Washington finding out that most of his military generals and Congress were working for the British.
Such an encouraging film summary of what General Washington accomplished for our God-given Rights to Life, Liberty, and our Pursuit of Happiness! Encouraging for the times we live in today, for the Americans in the US defending the very survival of Western Civilization! 🇺🇸🗽
America needs our beloved Washington today. A man who understood human nature enough to fight an up hill battle , all those years to ensure liberty for the world. Yes , the world is a better place because of our beloved George Washington.
Hello, Mary! How are you doing? I hope you are fine and staying safe? God bless America! Do you think anyone can make sacrifices like Washington in this generation?

Great movie/video. All American students in schools across our USA should have to watch these great patriotic videos to learn why they have the freedom we have today. It’s b/c of our forefathers fought for our liberty and freedoms we have today. Molon Labe!! 😆😆🇺🇸🇺🇸
I hope you guys are assisted by the government financially in someway. There is where I want my money to go!! True education fund! Awesome work! Thank you!
That is true, they take no governmental funding thst I'm aware of. I have offered services as an actor in these films and as a guest lecturer at Mount Vernon, travelling out of my own pocket. This is something i will not do without just compensation for commercial network documentaries or government owned parks... as i have been in their films too the past 20 years. We were just filming new footage last May to flesh out this overview film. After a year of people either homeschooling their children or actively observing their children in history class at home online in 2020... I observed a massive improvement in local Virginia, DC, Maryland and other American visitors to Mount Vernon. In years past often the international visitor outnumbered the American three to one, and most American parents showed little interest or knowledge to encourage their children. That has changed after 2020, if we can maintain momentum we may find a new patriotism emerge amongst the summer soldiers of our recent past.
Just to to think that we are watching this documentary on a phone. These men had nothing. This is an incredible story. George Washington has done great things for this country. All of these men had was the hope and their strength. God bless those who have passed and those who survived and later died to old age. We owe our gratitude to each one of you great men.
God bless General Washington and all the men who served under his leadership, without their valiant efforts, this republic wouldn’t exist. God bless America!
@@Nebulasecura I wasn't really saying anything bad, but alot of commenters do not realise Washington himself was British lol, so it was British vs British
@@brockcharz2104 yeah ik. I just assumed that it was something everyone would know based on logical sense given that the colonies had been a part of British control for nearly 150 years more or less up to that point
The British idea of having an overseas colony that has little ties with the actual English mainlanders will pay ridiculous taxes, while having no political representation in the empire was ridiculous to begin with. The claim of severeignity was only a matter of time. As for the military, due to its isolaton, the United States were able to avoid war for a long time, when Europe was nearly constantly ravaged by it. It's only since the creation of the European Union that the Europe hasn't seen a large scale war for roughly fifty years.
American military is no where near as strong as it once was and since it hasn't fought a modern army in an extended period then it's a very bold claim to call them the best. Unfortunately no argument you make will be able to change the fact America is becoming weakened by its own people. America's military has also proven in recent events that it still has no idea how to defeat fighters with a cause. So no America is not the strongest in the world. They do have some of the most advanced weapons but weapons don't win wars.
This documentary was NOT LONG ENOUGH!! I love the Map graphics which explains things that other documentaries show but don't explain. If you liked this watch the 1986 miniseries "George Washington". It's really good.
@@FrontierTradingCompany It takes learning and practicing the history through reading actual original text and documents and paintings, not the fictional junk taught in schools and as portrayed on TV and old movies unless it is a professionally done documentary (of which there have been many). It certainly helps to have a BA in History and a Masters in Library Science and Technology, having done 1700's re-enactments for 25+ years in NY, PA, VA, TN, NC, SC and be fortunate to have a professional career at a 1750's historical site in NC. The standards to even being considered to be an extra are extraordinarily high: no clothing, arms, or equipment, hair, beards, tattoos that are not perfectly accurate to the specific date and location of the event. AND, one thing to NEVER do and that is to portray an American Native unless you are a certified member of an American Native Tribe.
I'm Polish. We also contributed to the independence of the United States. 1. Tadeusz Kościuszko (Brigadier General of the American Army appointed on October 13, 1783) 2. Kazimierz Pułaski (brigadier general of the Continental Army, brigadier general of cavalry from September 15, 1777). Casimir Pulaski saved the life of George Washington in the Battle of Brandywine on September 11, 1777. We had many lesser known and unknown heroes in the US Revolutionary War. Glory to the Heroes!
The best thing in this short documentary is the graphics. Actually, I have looked at several of these Washington presentations and this one had the best graphics.
BOSTON IS MY CITY. I WAS BORN THERE IN 1966. IT'S MY HOME. I LOVE IT AS MUCH AS LIFE ITSELF. If I could go back in time I would go back to this period and become a son of liberty and I would be honored to serve for the cause and honored to Serve under his Excellency, General George Washington.
2020 From the U.K.......What an excellent account of this part of American history .Good narrating and excellent movie . Short and clear explanation of these events ! Thanks to uploader .
Can you do a video on the Philadelphia campaign because I am very interested in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown and valley forge and the battle of Monmouth because at Brandywine Washington’s life could have ended but the soldier that had Washington in his sights said “it is wrong to shoot someone from behind “
23 years a U S Marine. I’ve listened to people for decades speak about the cowardice of France in both world wars and how the United States saved them. That’s BS. They were overwhelmed by superior forces. Truth is that Americans would be speaking with an English accent if it wasn’t for the blessings bestowed upon us by France. Their many gifts to us should never be overlooked.
Thank you for your historical depiction with all the details. I would to have the complete depiction of the President from the available resources as much as all those other founding fathers and mothers to the American Inheritance. Thank you.
i am from India and i love this American revolutionary war. this has so many things that are in parallel with Indian history.......the same time when American was gaining independence, India was losing independence...........lord Cornwallis was sent to India after his defeat in America. I salute to the bravery of General George Washington.
@@GodsRemote I'm guessing only the monarchs and/or higher class, parliament, etc. cared. Probably the average English citizen didn't really care, and it didn't affect them anyway.
A sovereign republic is what was created. "I pledge allegiance to the flag, of the United States of America, to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
@@jonathanhouser8194 Can't say that I am physically, but Captain John Parker got out and led the militia at Lexington on April 19th, 1775, despite suffering from TB. So I really have no excuse if something does happen.
As a British man I would say George Washington is one of finest and greatest leaders in history. He was a humble, intelligent, strong-willed and God-fearing man.
I an Sri Lankan Sinhala Buddhist citizen and though I have various issues and questions as well as disagreements with / about the American politics and specially some unlawful American political and military influences and interventions as well as about American gun culture and gun law's and regulations and some people's disrespectful treatment of the American natives and the other. minoritiy committees etc etc I really admire appreciate the American history it's heritage and culture and racial diversity etc and we can learn lot from American fundamental rights and human rights systems and finally I must say that the both nation's friendship last long may God bless and protect both countries

Divine Destiny. Wonderful movie!
The fact George Washington didn't die in battle is a miracle. This man faught in multiple battles for YEARS against the British Navy with a bunch of inexperienced teenagers & towns folk. They had limited weapons, artillery, supplies, battled through cold, snowy winters, hypothermia & STILL defeated the world's most powerful Navy at the time. If Washington dies in battle early on, I don't know If America even exists today. 🇺🇸🇬🇧

Thank you to all those Patriots who gave their last full measure to usher in the birth of our great nation.
Ivan Mills, Amen to that!
pazza! these truths are self evident.
We need Patriots today to make another stand.
@@chuckcribbs3398 amen.

Keep American History alive!!
Yes. Something that you didn't know or you don't want to know is that Spain was the key factor for the win in The Revolutionary War. There is an article from The Massachusetts Society 'Sons of the American Revolution' ( SAR ) called ‘Spain and the Independence of The United States.’ And after reading the article it is not a surprise to know than the Spanish Commander Bernardo de Galvez has the same honour of be Honorary Citizeship of the United States like Laffayete…
So many of my friends made this possible, Huzzay!
He is the one guy I would absolutely love to go back in time to meet and chat with.
Going to watch this tomorrow, but I started the beginning just to see what it would be like, and the opening gave me chills!
i may not be american nor british but this is still a very patriotic video
It is an absolute miracle we won the war
Great documentary!
Well it was 5 vs 1 (France, Spain, Netherlands American and Prussian)
miracle, i dont think so just look at vietnam or afganistan it not so hard to win againts country that is thousands miles away

One of my ancestors was a 15 year old drummer boy in General George Washington's army.
This is the kind of man America needs and lacks today.
Great movie/video. All American students in schools across our USA should have to watch these great patriotic videos to learn why they have the freedom we have today. It’s b/c of our forefathers fought for our liberty and freedoms we have today. Molon Labe!! 😆😆🇺🇸🇺🇸
I hope you guys are assisted by the government financially in someway. There is where I want my money to go!! True education fund!
Awesome work! Thank you!
It clearly states they do no take Government money.
Yeah. I'll show it to my son
That is true, they take no governmental funding thst I'm aware of. I have offered services as an actor in these films and as a guest lecturer at Mount Vernon, travelling out of my own pocket. This is something i will not do without just compensation for commercial network documentaries or government owned parks... as i have been in their films too the past 20 years.
We were just filming new footage last May to flesh out this overview film.
After a year of people either homeschooling their children or actively observing their children in history class at home online in 2020...
I observed a massive improvement in local Virginia, DC, Maryland and other American visitors to Mount Vernon. In years past often the international visitor outnumbered the American three to one, and most American parents showed little interest or knowledge to encourage their children.
That has changed after 2020, if we can maintain momentum we may find a new patriotism emerge amongst the summer soldiers of our recent past.
Best U.S. history video I've seen. I actually enjoy this.
Just to to think that we are watching this documentary on a phone. These men had nothing. This is an incredible story. George Washington has done great things for this country. All of these men had was the hope and their strength. God bless those who have passed and those who survived and later died to old age. We owe our gratitude to each one of you great men.
God bless General Washington and all the men who served under his leadership, without their valiant efforts, this republic wouldn’t exist. God bless America!
you do realise George Washington was British right? so be thankful for a British man
@@brockcharz2104 yes I do. So was literally a majority of the people in the colonies at the time, so I don’t get your point.
@@Nebulasecura I wasn't really saying anything bad, but alot of commenters do not realise Washington himself was British lol, so it was British vs British
@@brockcharz2104 yeah ik. I just assumed that it was something everyone would know based on logical sense given that the colonies had been a part of British control for nearly 150 years more or less up to that point
@@Nebulasecura his heritage was from England too
Not only my children but also myself learn a great deal by watching your channel. Thank you for the great work and teaching
Imagine those so-called rebels by British Empire at the beginning is now the country with the most powerful military in the world.
The British idea of having an overseas colony that has little ties with the actual English mainlanders will pay ridiculous taxes, while having no political representation in the empire was ridiculous to begin with. The claim of severeignity was only a matter of time.
As for the military, due to its isolaton, the United States were able to avoid war for a long time, when Europe was nearly constantly ravaged by it. It's only since the creation of the European Union that the Europe hasn't seen a large scale war for roughly fifty years.
American military is no where near as strong as it once was and since it hasn't fought a modern army in an extended period then it's a very bold claim to call them the best. Unfortunately no argument you make will be able to change the fact America is becoming weakened by its own people. America's military has also proven in recent events that it still has no idea how to defeat fighters with a cause. So no America is not the strongest in the world. They do have some of the most advanced weapons but weapons don't win wars.
That got beaten by a bunch of cavemen in sandals? lmao
@@darkmusky9851 i don't think cavemen can make IEDs or know how to use a gun
@@darkmusky9851 That was a political pull out, we won tactically but lost politically
Great stuff! Really good recreations, especially the battle maps.
I've been to Mount Vernon before and it was really cool. Great video!
roblox noob
What a fantastic film short!! Love it.
God bless these United states and God bless the men and women that created this miracle of a nation and most of all God bless Gorege Washington.
This documentary was NOT LONG ENOUGH!! I love the Map graphics which explains things that other documentaries show but don't explain. If you liked this watch the 1986 miniseries "George Washington". It's really good.
nice video is an amazing work! :)
Thank you, we are glad you enjoyed it!

How do you become an extra in these movies?? I would drive anywhere for any duration of time to be involved in something like this 🥺
@@FrontierTradingCompany It takes learning and practicing the history through reading actual original text and documents and paintings, not the fictional junk taught in schools and as portrayed on TV and old movies unless it is a professionally done documentary (of which there have been many). It certainly helps to have a BA in History and a Masters in Library Science and Technology, having done 1700's re-enactments for 25+ years in NY, PA, VA, TN, NC, SC and be fortunate to have a professional career at a 1750's historical site in NC. The standards to even being considered to be an extra are extraordinarily high: no clothing, arms, or equipment, hair, beards, tattoos that are not perfectly accurate to the specific date and location of the event. AND, one thing to NEVER do and that is to portray an American Native unless you are a certified member of an American Native Tribe.
I'm Polish. We also contributed to the independence of the United States.
1. Tadeusz Kościuszko (Brigadier General of the American Army appointed on October 13, 1783)
2. Kazimierz Pułaski (brigadier general of the Continental Army, brigadier general of cavalry from September 15, 1777). Casimir Pulaski saved the life of George Washington in the Battle of Brandywine on September 11, 1777.
We had many lesser known and unknown heroes in the US Revolutionary War.
Glory to the Heroes!
Amazing story ..watching from kenaya
Kenya
The best thing in this short documentary is the graphics. Actually, I have looked at several of these Washington presentations and this one had the best graphics.
salute for the soldiers that died at the war.
BOSTON IS MY CITY. I WAS BORN THERE IN 1966. IT'S MY HOME. I LOVE IT AS MUCH AS LIFE ITSELF. If I could go back in time I would go back to this period and become a son of liberty and I would be honored to serve for the cause and honored to Serve under his Excellency, General George Washington.
Amazing film!

George Washington made a lot of tough decisions,during the revolutionary war.God bless the father of our nation!!
Best mini-documentary in the whole wide world.
Great segments of cannon and weapons ! Go ARMY
The music in the credits 😍😍😍! The production value is awesome 👏 and of course the subject is captivating 🥰. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Can you do a video on the Philadelphia campaign because I am very interested in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown and valley forge and the battle of Monmouth because at Brandywine Washington’s life could have ended but the soldier that had Washington in his sights said “it is wrong to shoot someone from behind “
I been to Monmouth Battlefield back in the early 1990's

Probably the most important war
Great upload!! Keep up the great work!!
23 years a U S Marine. I’ve listened to people for decades speak about the cowardice of France in both world wars and how the United States saved them. That’s BS. They were overwhelmed by superior forces. Truth is that Americans would be speaking with an English accent if it wasn’t for the blessings bestowed upon us by France. Their many gifts to us should never be overlooked.
And we repaid the French by saving them in WW2. Liberation of France.
Great film! Loved the map display graphics which really helped me better understand each purpose of the battles
General Washington... I would be your soldier. I would die for you...
Wonderful documentary. Thanks for shooting and sharing.
Greatest General and POTUS we ever had.
this is amazing! Please make more!
Can’t wait to see Monmouth
Awesome video, very well done!
Thank you for your historical depiction with all the details. I would to have the complete depiction of the President from the available resources as much as all those other founding fathers and mothers to the American Inheritance. Thank you.
Thanks
The nice video for passionates of history especially
Hello
i am from India and i love this American revolutionary war. this has so many things that are in parallel with Indian history.......the same time when American was gaining independence, India was losing independence...........lord Cornwallis was sent to India after his defeat in America. I salute to the bravery of General George Washington.
As a Brit, so happy for democracy you WON
Wow, I thought all brits hated the fact that the colonies escaped british rule.
@@GodsRemote Indian heritage !
@@GodsRemote I'm guessing only the monarchs and/or higher class, parliament, etc. cared. Probably the average English citizen didn't really care, and it didn't affect them anyway.
A sovereign republic is what was created. "I pledge allegiance to the flag, of the United States of America, to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
@Ponian RUclips Yet the US went on to become the most powerful and most wealthy and most influential Country on Earth.
Here from school. Amazing film actually was interesting and enjoyable to watch
We need more feature length movies about the War for Independence, that's all I'm saying.
We're about to live through another one. Are you ready?
@@jonathanhouser8194 Can't say that I am physically, but Captain John Parker got out and led the militia at Lexington on April 19th, 1775, despite suffering from TB. So I really have no excuse if something does happen.
There is no way this is just another RUclips Movie.. Nah bro this belongs in the cinemas
As a British man I would say George Washington is one of finest and greatest leaders in history. He was a humble, intelligent, strong-willed and God-fearing man.
he was british aswell

I an Sri Lankan Sinhala Buddhist citizen and though I have various issues and questions as well as disagreements with / about the American politics and specially some unlawful American political and military influences and interventions as well as about American gun culture and gun law's and regulations and some people's disrespectful treatment of the American natives and the other. minoritiy committees etc etc I really admire appreciate the American history it's heritage and culture and racial diversity etc and we can learn lot from American fundamental rights and human rights systems and finally I must say that the both nation's friendship last long may God bless and protect both countries

I'm so grateful for the men who died and also lived, people that we never heard of names that will never know. They were the true heroes of the war.
The first was like a lion, (England)and had eagle's wings(USA): I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.(a common personification of the US; Uncle Sam)
Daniel 7:4
Prophecy fulfilled.
Divine Destiny.
Wonderful movie!
The fact George Washington didn't die in battle is a miracle. This man faught in multiple battles for YEARS against the British Navy with a bunch of inexperienced teenagers & towns folk. They had limited weapons, artillery, supplies, battled through cold, snowy winters, hypothermia & STILL defeated the world's most powerful Navy at the time. If Washington dies in battle early on, I don't know If America even exists today. 🇺🇸🇬🇧

I'm curious to know what would've happened if Washington's soldiers knew that the country they were fighting for was going to be the most powerful state to ever exist in all of history.
great illustrations and maps. I haven't spent much time in the northeast, but this helps bring the battles to life.
