I appreciate the colonists part of the American story but what about the battles Indigenous peoples had to endure from European invaders??? Isn't that a part of America's Wars?
@@BH02377 45:08 shows the map of Europe before ww1. Alsace-Lorraine is shown as part of France. Historically, it would become French after the Treaty of Versailles.
@@TheSlazzer there are a few other inaccuracies as well, such as complete omission of Tecumseh and American illegal conquests of his territories which prompted British support and a handful of other important things about the war of 1812. A few of them feel like white lies to save face here and there. Still entertaining.
My father was a marine in the 4th marine division and fought at Iwo Jima and recieved a purple heart. He died in 2015 and seeing this reminded me of him. Very emotional.
OMG! I enjoyed this soooo much🇺🇸As a U.S. Army Veteran. This needs to be shown in every 5th-12th grade classroom. Our history of war, how to avoid it, and respect for those who died for their beliefs, honor, and our flag🇺🇸
The US has been a continual force for evil since its conception, especially since 1945. As a veteran, you would have been part of the forces for evil, not honour
The way against the brits was basically a civil war, a world without the brits would have been bad, countries like the US would simply not be around and the dirty fence would have been on top.
@hdk9256 Our ancestors won, and yours lost. You would be celebrating if your people were victorious. You're just bitter because you come from a long line of losers.
My great grandfather served in the Navy in World War 2 and was on the USS California. He was involved in the battle of Surigao strait. A kamikaze hit the California and he received major third degree burns, and had to return to New Guinea for the rest of the war to recover. Both of my grandfathers were in Vietnam, one was a AC130 mechanic in the Air Force, and the other was in the 101st Airborne division in the army. Such great stories that need to be remembered. Thanks for the video!
Isn't just incredible that we live in an age where things like this exist? Sub and liked, really wonderful, also love the choice of music and narrators voice. Bravo everyone!
Thank you. I love the length you went through to explain each and every war, but condensed it all to one hour. I know you all had much more to say. Instant subscribe after this video, my first by you. Keep doing what you are doing, It is awesome!
Born and raised in Sackets Harbor and live right near the famous battlefield of 1812! So much history in such a little village that I’m proud to call home.
@@bigolboomerbelly4348Canada didn’t exist until 50 years later give or take. The British fought the Americans (mostly) in the ‘War of 1812.’ The others who fought were native. The idea that Canada fought in and won the War of 1812 is like me saying that America won the 7 years war.
This video leaves out the largest and most widespread Plains Indian Wars of 1863 - 1869, starting with the Santee uprising of 1862, the Dakota Wars of 1864-65, the huge and relatively simultaneous Sioux-Cheyenne-Arapaho uprisings in the wake of the Sand Creek Massacre that rage from Oklahoma to Montana, and ending with singular Indian victory of Red Cloud's War. These overlapping conflicts involved over 15,000 troops and as many as 3,500 Indian combatants.
the Cherokee covered quiet a swath of land on their own; kinda makes U mad that taxes became a permanent tool for the gov't to enslave us to the wardogs
@@robertcuny934 ABT has a longer video covering American wars that include the colonial period. I don’t yet understand it all but The Creek, Cherokee, Six Nations involvements were not so cleanly for or against the Brits, the French or the Revolutionary era colonial history.
This is why I support ABT when I can! Because of all you'll do to keep History alive and true. This SHOULD NEVER be put on a shelf or not taught in schools! As the old saying goes, "To ignore history is to Repeat it"! So I appreciate all that the American Battle Field stand for in preserving Battlefields and our Beloved Union! A VERY well done documentary as always! Many Thanks!!!
After watching this, I don’t understand how ANYBODY can disrespect veterans. How many lives were lost fighting for our country, our freedom, our values, and our God? Too many!! God bless everyone who has fought and served in our country’s military. They are all special people deserving the upmost respect and gratitude.
This is an amazing and well visually put together project! The voice over and graphics are remarkable! (Also love the well placed quiet references to the Marine Corps Hymn!)
21:03 See that Texan flag? My ancestor, WIlliam Scott provided the blue silk for that flag! He was at the seige of Bejar and also fought in the war of 1812 before moving to what would become Texas.
This is one of the easiest summaries of the French and Indian War I could present to students. Well executed. The only minor suggestion I would offer is to actually add a tint to the shading to show which sides exerted practical control over which region. At 2:08, a red or blue tint would help students decipher the visual regions claimed by both the French and the British, for example. Please don't mistake this as a criticism as this video is already very helpful... I'm just wishing for perfection in the classroom with students who are still learning the geography/topography of the United States.
The Liberal Education System has Hijacked factual history for Critical Race Theory. Forget World history and even Geography. If doesn't fit the Neo-Marxist, Anti-Capitalistic Socio-Communist Agenda, it is not to be found in Syllables from K-PhD.
@@douglasbuck8986 As if the teacher didn't know that? Tinting (showing geographical extent of each side's areas of control) has no good, quick, clear verbal equivalent. Tinting is a good suggestion.
Battles are not the way to teach American history. There should be specific courses for military history especially for those headed to the military academies, but not for the general population. What is needed is putting the history of the Americas into world context. That ends with the French & Indian War. Hard to believe but our Revolution allowed Russia to absorb Ukraine and destroy the first parliamentary Commonwealth in Europe: Poland-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Why do you think Pulaski & Kosciusko were in the US? The Czar had defeated them but they heard the US was promising the freedoms they had just lost.
Bro I'm a walking WWII encyclopedia because I love history. I think God I chose to watch this video because our entire country's history is awesome. And I'm an Apache native American but I'm not a victim and this is what created our country made it great❤
It's times like these you gotta just be so thankful of the technology we have at our disposal, for FREE, like this amazing RUclips educational channel. Great production value, and I'm not even American.
Britain took their eye of the ball. They didn't think their citizens in the 13 colonies would revolt and didn't expect both France and Spain to help the rebels. If they'd known what the 13 colonies would become I doubt that financial problems would have worried them to the extent it did and they would have taken it more seriously. As it was it shocked some in the government and the King but the people of Britain if anything sided with the revolutionaries. Some areas in Britain like the famous American Ground in Hastings on the South coast of England declared independence and tried to join the new USA.
Hmm.. actually it is more a US propaganda movie then accurate. If you really into US history I think you need to seek other other sources than US is so awesome, - we skip all the bad facts of the US - we are unable to use correct maps - ones.
Very well done. The pacing and narration are the best that I've seen among documentaries. So captivating that my attention never strayed. In fact, I would suggest an hour or two be given to each conflict, applying the same methodology as this. Thank you so much! p.s. The maps excel!
This is months old and you might not see this but I was taught this already but you have made this so much better then any history class I have been in keep up the amazing work

Almost brings tears to my eyes knowing what men fought and died for and seeing where we are now and where we are headed... Can we muster the strength and find the leadership to last?
Man i love this channel , the civil war battles were amazing and detailed!! I look forward to new videos from you guys everytime i log in ! Thank you!!🇺🇸 🇬🇧
I completely agree with you on that because I was surprised that the fighting at Fort William Henry, Carillon and Lake George was emitted from this video because i was expecting like what they did for the American civil war with the troop movements and general names.
This really puts into perspective what our ancestors had to go through to build and mold our country. It wasn’t always easy, a lot of mistakes were made, a lot was lost, and sometimes, bad things happened (not trying to downplay anything). Though we stumble, we still have our flaws and problems, and we might look around and not always like what we see, this is still our home, our country and it’s up to us to ensure a bright future, just like those who came before us.
@@vetbcrazy u should be mocked and laughed at in my opinion your not a vet your a man who was a paid a very low wage for a dangerous job to help a horrible government expand their power
@@vetbcrazy calling yourself a vet when u thought in a pointless war u didnt defend are freedom u dont deserve no special treatment your nonthing special and never will be all u did was help america commmit genocide your brain dead if u think your righteous
Thank you for making such an excellent video! I'm grateful for the many Americans who have sacrificed for me, my family, and my community. War is a terrible thing, and while America's past is full of both bad and good, the fundamentals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are what truly define this nation. May her people ever remember where the strength of America comes from. We honor the good, acknowledge the bad, and carry on in the cause of freedom!
Someone in my family has fought in all these wars. I am a descendent of the Meigs and many other people that have played pivotal roles in the founding of this country and before white man ever stepped foot here. Also my 6th great grandfather was Chief William McIntosh the one Jackson went to help at horseshoe bend. He argued with Jackson about taking the land but Jackson took it and still made him Brigadier General. He was murdered in 1825 for signing the treaty of Indian Springs.
Fantastic video. I will have my kids watch this to get a basic understanding of the history of this great nation, and the sacrifices made by all those brave soldiers, and their families. Our history should be told, pointing out the true history of our country, for better, or worse.
"True history" of our country is a right wing dogwhistle of a phrase that attacks all the hard-working schoolteachers across the country. It's typically uttered by grown adults who haven't been in school in decades, and who haven't paid any attention when they were in school decades ago. It's also rather ironic for someone to praise this video so vehemently to also then brag about using this to teach "true US history." This is just a very brief, and sometimes misleading (see the sections of the World Wars that leaves out the contributions and names of "the allies" while only specifically mentioning the US. It doesn't even give the Soviet Union any credit, except a blue shade.)
@@Nihilianththis video is about US wars and their contributions in wars, maybe that's why its...ya know...centered around the US????🤡 Better to teach your kids history with *this* rather than take the woke liberal route and try to erase it like it never happened 🤡
Really? This is "the gold standard of historical content"? 180 years worth of history squeezed into a whitewashed 58 minute video? Entertaining to be sure. But "the gold standard of historical content"? 🤣
@@Nihilianth The American Battlefield Trust has been making historical content for years. They have raised money to support and grow these American battlefields like no other organization I am aware of. With access to the best historians and years of knowledge at their disposal I never have to wonder if what they are telling me is correct. So yes, in my opinion they are the GOLD STANDARD for historical content. And I stand by it.
@@JOEHOVA I said nothing about the organization, but about the video. You're responding in the comment section of this specific video, and I was.respondong to your comment. Nice try at moving the goal posts. But, yeah. No. This video is NOT "the gold standard" of historical review.
@@Nihilianth This video is a great introduction to people without a deep knowledge of the American Wars. If you try to dive too deeply on such a massive topic you lose people. This is something I am very familiar with in my profession. But I am sure the content you make is much better. feel free to drop me a link. 🙂
@@JOEHOVA No. It literally is NOT a "great introduction to people without a deepbknowledhe of America's wars." Because, once again, it isn't even an introduction. Anyone who has gotten past 5th grade already knows everything in this video. And for those who never have gotten past fifth grade, this is t going to help them understand anything about "America's wars."
This was excellent story telling! I have seen quite a few "documentaries" that have had a agenda and it really diminishes ones curiosity and takes away from the learning experience. This was neutral toned through-out and executed brilliantly. We need more educational series like this!
Through smoke, fire, and blood, they have forged a new world and new births of freedom. My friends, never ever ever forget what they did. What we have now, only because of those brave souls. In memory of my dad, Tsgt Charles G, 1934-2013
This is well done. I am impressed. No sugar coating. No political leaning, just the highlights. It's astounding that this even mentioned the barberry wars, instead of just being a star spangled representation of US history.
Wish they included things like Lafayette or Baron von Steuben in the Revolutionary War or included more details on the Indian Wars and the American-Philippines War. The last one was particularly forgotten in US history.
Some of my favorite topics to read about is the world wars. I’ve learned the maps of Europe from pretty much just those alone. And also the Smithsonian books and from the WWI gaming series. I think the maps of Europe are so interesting. I hope you guys do more eventually, like other European wars, but I guess that wouldn’t make sense, but would be cool still!
I went on a spontaneous trip to Put-In-Bay because I was visiting Ohio from Indiana one time. I learned about the naval battles in the area that I never knew about! Interesting place!
4 different invasions into Canada, all repulsed, including Niagara. They also failed to mention the burning of the White House was in retaliation for the sacking of York (Toronto) in winter. Americans call it a draw. lol
Was this a witty parody of people who incessantly post “My dad, or my grandfather…” comments to war videos? Or did you really think your relative 5-6 generations removed was a conversation piece? Heck, with the number of wars Americans have fought it is nigh impossible for anyone to go back 5-6 generations and not have a relative that participated in a war… everyone could write your post.
@@momagic383Why would you do that ? Dump on people who are just appreciative of the sacrifices their relatives have made Does that make you feel better about yourself to cast dispersions on other person's family members . I'm thankful to them as well as my own that have been in each of these conflicts and more. Half my family came here in 1520 the other half was already here . Every conflict in our history and some before both sides of The Civil War to present day you can find one there sacrificing so you have the right today to run your mouth .
@@WilliamWallace-cx5wz pride in someone who was a racist who stole native land and brought violence to that land just expand your own land stfu it takes on racist horrible sadistic person to praise something like that
I sincerely hope that there will be another video, covering 1945 to the present. My wife and I homeschool, and this video will be added to the history section of our materials. Thank you for making it.
The issue is the American Battlefield Trust is supposed to be politically neutral. How is it going to cover the "We lied about WMDs" Middle East campaigns without any bias. Not to mention, half of the wars in the Cold War that were a tie/loss portray the US military in a negative light.
@@panzerwafflez7228 I'd hope that they would be real honest about how the wars were conducted, especially all the political interference in Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, and Afghanistan. The only way we learn from the mistakes of the past is to be honest about them.

I absorbed this better than the 2 years of American history i took in highschool. Video is so much more effective at delivering info. I hope teachers see the value of your video and utilize it for their classrooms!
Nice maps, excellent speaking pace, great tone, and fascinating stories...nothing more to say !

Kudos to the team of people who put this together... i'm blown away at the genius that went into this.
❤That was outstanding! Totally enjoyed it. Thank you.👍
Almost brings tears to my eyes knowing what men fought and died for and seeing where we are now and where we are headed... Can we muster the strength and find the leadership to last?
i’m excited for this video cause i’m a huge supporter of US Military and Military History since i was in Middle School
Same but no more wars for israel
@@yeehaw3792 what?
@@yeehaw3792When have we ever fought a war for Israel?
@@alexratzloff894 Lmao look up the clean break memo.
@@yeehaw3792 sounds like a conspiracy, fake news to me...
This was definitely worth watching in my spare time.
What an amazing piece of work! We’re at a time where American history is in danger and ABT gives us a piece of hope by keeping our history alive
Good job putting this together dude. Very informative and intriguing. ✌️
Extremely well done and educational , thank you to all the creators, May God Bless you and your families!!❤❤❤
Man i love this channel , the civil war battles were amazing and detailed!! I look forward to new videos from you guys everytime i log in ! Thank you!!🇺🇸 🇬🇧
absolutely top notch. I'll be watching again.
Fantastic show!! Put a lot of things in order for me. Thank you.
The French and Indian War needs more time! Please
I completely agree with you on that because I was surprised that the fighting at Fort William Henry, Carillon and Lake George was emitted from this video because i was expecting like what they did for the American civil war with the troop movements and general names.
Yes!
This really puts into perspective what our ancestors had to go through to build and mold our country. It wasn’t always easy, a lot of mistakes were made, a lot was lost, and sometimes, bad things happened (not trying to downplay anything). Though we stumble, we still have our flaws and problems, and we might look around and not always like what we see, this is still our home, our country and it’s up to us to ensure a bright future, just like those who came before us.
As a veteran, I agree. It’s agonizing to see that our current administration has a different agenda.
@@vetbcrazy your not a vet unless u were in world war 2 your not a vet
@@vetbcrazy just a pawn
@@vetbcrazy u should be mocked and laughed at in my opinion your not a vet your a man who was a paid a very low wage for a dangerous job to help a horrible government expand their power
@@vetbcrazy calling yourself a vet when u thought in a pointless war u didnt defend are freedom u dont deserve no special treatment your nonthing special and never will be all u did was help america commmit genocide your brain dead if u think your righteous
Thank you for making such an excellent video! I'm grateful for the many Americans who have sacrificed for me, my family, and my community. War is a terrible thing, and while America's past is full of both bad and good, the fundamentals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are what truly define this nation. May her people ever remember where the strength of America comes from. We honor the good, acknowledge the bad, and carry on in the cause of freedom!
Same here, My town's VFW has several WW2 veterans
Someone in my family has fought in all these wars. I am a descendent of the Meigs and many other people that have played pivotal roles in the founding of this country and before white man ever stepped foot here. Also my 6th great grandfather was Chief William McIntosh the one Jackson went to help at horseshoe bend. He argued with Jackson about taking the land but Jackson took it and still made him Brigadier General. He was murdered in 1825 for signing the treaty of Indian Springs.
Fantastic video. I will have my kids watch this to get a basic understanding of the history of this great nation, and the sacrifices made by all those brave soldiers, and their families. Our history should be told, pointing out the true history of our country, for better, or worse.
"True history" of our country is a right wing dogwhistle of a phrase that attacks all the hard-working schoolteachers across the country. It's typically uttered by grown adults who haven't been in school in decades, and who haven't paid any attention when they were in school decades ago. It's also rather ironic for someone to praise this video so vehemently to also then brag about using this to teach "true US history." This is just a very brief, and sometimes misleading (see the sections of the World Wars that leaves out the contributions and names of "the allies" while only specifically mentioning the US. It doesn't even give the Soviet Union any credit, except a blue shade.)
@@Nihilianthright wing dog whistle?
@@kenshinyang7375 it's just another American hating "Progressive" spewing nonsense.
@@Nihilianthlmao knew there'd be some political radical here
@@Nihilianththis video is about US wars and their contributions in wars, maybe that's why its...ya know...centered around the US????🤡 Better to teach your kids history with *this* rather than take the woke liberal route and try to erase it like it never happened 🤡
Very informative! Thanks for putting that together!
So glad you put the Texas revolution on there🥹
its not honorable texas shouldn't even be apart of america
Gets to 15 minutes in and I am already exceptionally impressed. Not a lot of people would’ve included the quasi war.
I loved this. And everything you all do is just great and amazing ❤💯 From beginning to End.
Its amazing what america has done in 300yrs in relation to what other lands have done in 3000
its the only world super power in the world right now
yea it really shows how horrible u guys are praising this
I live 15min from Yorktown. I frequent the battlefield trail a lot.
Very well produced, thanks!
The gold standard of historical content. Well done. ❤
Really? This is "the gold standard of historical content"? 180 years worth of history squeezed into a whitewashed 58 minute video? Entertaining to be sure. But "the gold standard of historical content"? 🤣
@@Nihilianth The American Battlefield Trust has been making historical content for years. They have raised money to support and grow these American battlefields like no other organization I am aware of. With access to the best historians and years of knowledge at their disposal I never have to wonder if what they are telling me is correct. So yes, in my opinion they are the GOLD STANDARD for historical content. And I stand by it.
@@JOEHOVA I said nothing about the organization, but about the video. You're responding in the comment section of this specific video, and I was.respondong to your comment. Nice try at moving the goal posts.
But, yeah. No. This video is NOT "the gold standard" of historical review.
@@Nihilianth This video is a great introduction to people without a deep knowledge of the American Wars. If you try to dive too deeply on such a massive topic you lose people. This is something I am very familiar with in my profession. But I am sure the content you make is much better. feel free to drop me a link. 🙂
@@JOEHOVA No. It literally is NOT a "great introduction to people without a deepbknowledhe of America's wars." Because, once again, it isn't even an introduction. Anyone who has gotten past 5th grade already knows everything in this video. And for those who never have gotten past fifth grade, this is t going to help them understand anything about "America's wars."
This was excellent story telling! I have seen quite a few "documentaries" that have had a agenda and it really diminishes ones curiosity and takes away from the learning experience. This was neutral toned through-out and executed brilliantly. We need more educational series like this!
Thanks!
now this is epic
Absolutely brilliant 👏🏻 well done Sir 👍🏻
This was absolutely incredible. So many smaller wars I had never even heard of before. Thank you for doing this!
They skipped about 30 smaller wars too. lmao
They didn't mention the Beaver Wars.
Through smoke, fire, and blood, they have forged a new world and new births of freedom.
My friends, never ever ever forget what they did. What we have now, only because of those brave souls.
In memory of my dad, Tsgt Charles G, 1934-2013
This is wonderfully done. Please do another showcasing post WW2 conflict.
This is well done. I am impressed. No sugar coating. No political leaning, just the highlights. It's astounding that this even mentioned the barberry wars, instead of just being a star spangled representation of US history.
Wish they included things like Lafayette or Baron von Steuben in the Revolutionary War or included more details on the Indian Wars and the American-Philippines War. The last one was particularly forgotten in US history.
Some of my favorite topics to read about is the world wars. I’ve learned the maps of Europe from pretty much just those alone. And also the Smithsonian books and from the WWI gaming series. I think the maps of Europe are so interesting. I hope you guys do more eventually, like other European wars, but I guess that wouldn’t make sense, but would be cool still!
Well they left important stuff out…might look bad for the USA, and reputation is more important than truth!
I never realized this battle had such significance. Great stuff! ⚔🙌
So excited 😆 love this style of video
Most of the wars America was in started when someone messed with our boats
Simply an outstanding production.
Wow. What a fantastic video and so humbling. I'm so grateful for the generations before me.
Could have done with 30-60 seconds on the naval actions on the Great Lakes during the War of 1812, but overall a comprehensive effort. Thumbs up.
Don't give up the ship!
@@tonywords6713The Canadians won the war of 1812. It’s in their textbooks
I went on a spontaneous trip to Put-In-Bay because I was visiting Ohio from Indiana one time. I learned about the naval battles in the area that I never knew about! Interesting place!
4 different invasions into Canada, all repulsed, including Niagara. They also failed to mention the burning of the White House was in retaliation for the sacking of York (Toronto) in winter. Americans call it a draw. lol
My great great grand father, who is name was Lieutenant, colonel, Samuel S Lewis who fought in the Texas revolution war
Was this a witty parody of people who incessantly post “My dad, or my grandfather…” comments to war videos? Or did you really think your relative 5-6 generations removed was a conversation piece? Heck, with the number of wars Americans have fought it is nigh impossible for anyone to go back 5-6 generations and not have a relative that participated in a war… everyone could write your post.
Well, my family goes back to Revolution war crew much my friend is a military
@@momagic383Why would you do that ? Dump on people who are just appreciative of the sacrifices their relatives have made
Does that make you feel better about yourself to cast dispersions on other person's family members .
I'm thankful to them as well as my own that have been in each of these conflicts and more. Half my family came here in 1520 the other half was already here .
Every conflict in our history and some before both sides of The Civil War to present day you can find one there sacrificing so you have the right today to run your mouth .
so he was a racist who stole native land nice what a horrible person u should hide that instead of bragging about your racist grandfather
@@WilliamWallace-cx5wz pride in someone who was a racist who stole native land and brought violence to that land just expand your own land stfu it takes on racist horrible sadistic person to praise something like that
this is top tier production, very well done!. this is top tier production, very well done!.
Great video!
Does the Trust preserve any French and Indian War battlefields? If not, any plans to start? Thanks!
Every American should watch this. Absolutely excellent.
I sincerely hope that there will be another video, covering 1945 to the present. My wife and I homeschool, and this video will be added to the history section of our materials. Thank you for making it.
The issue is the American Battlefield Trust is supposed to be politically neutral. How is it going to cover the "We lied about WMDs" Middle East campaigns without any bias. Not to mention, half of the wars in the Cold War that were a tie/loss portray the US military in a negative light.
@@panzerwafflez7228 I'd hope that they would be real honest about how the wars were conducted, especially all the political interference in Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, and Afghanistan. The only way we learn from the mistakes of the past is to be honest about them.
