Dear Patrons,

In the run up to the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, I am delighted to share the American Revolution Part 2, which covers these two engagements, and much more besides.

Huge praise to Patrick whose heroics have ensured we made it in time for the anniversary! Big thanks also to our writer, Mike, and to Prof Frank Cogliano and Ryan Schwartz (a member of the inaugural team at the Museum of the American Revolution, no less) who have provided invaluable historical guidance.

We will be back next week with our monthly newsletter, containing some exciting production news. In the meantime, thank you for your amazing support, and I hope you enjoy the video!

Thank you for the work Epic History ❤️this was a very interesting video and I finally learnt something

Charles Gregory

Like always, what an amazing job! I’m a native Virginian and live about an hour east of Richmond, Virginia where Patrick Henry gave his “Give me liberty, or give me death”speech. Your segment on him giving the speech gave me goosebumps!

TankerBricks

Excellent episode! Looking forward to Episode 3!

Gavin Gates

You guys never miss! So engaging, accurate, unbiased, and well produced! You guys really do provide a great service

Impeccable timing. Literally was in Boston this last weekend. Wanted to see L&C but I got rained out. Cool area though

Sean Hogerheide

Exquisite timing gentlemen to the 250th anniversary of The Battles of Lexington and Concord! What an opportunity made advantageously well! I love the snippet of George Washington’s impactful start and involvement in the French and Indian War. The thoroughness of this video is well apparent and I look forward to your next videos during the quarter millennial anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the birth of the Continental Army, the Continental Navy and most importantly (and most biased on my part) the Continental Marines! (November 10th 1775). Hope you guys give an honorable mention to them! The animation and artwork awesome as always!

Nick Savage

I love the music in this series. It is very foreboding. It builds the tension up to the battles very well. It makes watching this more tense, even though we all know the outcome.

John Dominguez

This was remarkable. I had no idea about this Quebec Act. This certainly limited the 13 colonies' vision for a westward expansion. Imagine how history would've changed had they not acted.

Sean Fitzgerald

Excellent! I love that you’re using voice actors from your other videos.

Mason Stover

Please tell me you will continue this series in earnest.

Amumu Gainz

It is a shame that we have fallen back to allowing British tax disguised as NATO expenses n the abolishing of fair trade for many decades by puppets of the crown to weaken us once again. Hopefully this 250th anniversary revigorates the American Patriotism and replaces the globalism attitudes that have enslaved us all.

Jon Molden

Awesome episode! Map at the beginning was a bit off but other that like usual you guys knocked sit out of the park!

MrAH2010

Oooh that zoom into the Lexington Green, (a flat field!) looked so good. Can't wait for the topography video.

JDusk

Lovely! I am very excited to see how this series evolves! On another note, whoever read Patrick Henry's famous "Give me Liberty or give me death" speech and who read that quote from Washington did a fantastic job! He has a certain gravitas which I appreciate!

EpicHistoryTV

If you spot any errors let us know and we'll get them fixed!

Flint and Ball

Another great one Toby and team. I’m dubious about the battle of jumonville Glen being the beginning of the 7 years war? Certainly it fueled tensions to some degree and was a precursor but could it be considered the beginning? Obviously one of Britains main aims was to strip France of her overseas empire, but most of the war and France’s military might was based in Europe. I believe it was cited as a specific reason why they could not supply more troops to defend New France. When the war was officially declared early actions were centred around Europe from memory?

Jon Molden

Ok. If the map is (as I interpreted it as) of 1754 colonial North America pre seven years war than Louisiana and the territory as far west as shown on this particular map should also be French, and the Seminole territory should be mostly Spanish. If it went further west there would be Spanish claims to that land but little of it had been settled at that point. However that’s farther west than is shown. The colony of Louisiana was only ceded to Spain by France at the near end of the war in 1762, west of the Mississippi, while the eastern portion of it minus Louisiana proper of course was ceded to Britain the following year. You got that part correct however. Other than that it looked spot on in the other regions to my knowledge.

Jon Molden

Also most of the land shown as French on the map in the area of modern Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, some of Alabama wasn’t colonized by them. They as well as the British both claimed it and were both trying to settle it so it’s more of a nit pick that the Louisiana issue. That may have been the intent however as in to show French claims in those regions. You have the tribes names there so no biggie. However Mississippi, Michigan, and part of Alabama as well as Illinois, Indiana, and the Great Lakes region are totally fine as French though. Not trying to nit pick haha. Amazing video still as always. Just wanted to mention it.

EpicHistoryTV

Thank you! I believe the argument is made that there is a direct chain of events from the shots fired at Jumonville Glen to the wider conflict. Similar to the argument that WW2 really begins in China in 1937 (or even 1931), which I will be arguing later in the year!

EpicHistoryTV

Thanks Jon, though the map is supposed to be approx. 1774, (hence the massive date on screen at the start of the video!). We've just reprised the animation showing British expansion, to add some visual interest and as a reminder to what we covered in episode 1.

Jon Molden

Oh shucks! Sorry Lol. I seen the date but when I noticed the blue was French I thought “oh this shows the colonial boundaries before the seven years war and will transition into the post war boundaries as the topic unfolds. Hmm I should say something about Louisiana than.” Sorry for the nitpicking than 😂 I’m a map nerd. I love the videos you guys make. The very best in every way possible. Sincerely my apologies.

EpicHistoryTV

We love map nerds, and only hope that we can be included in that group. No need for apologies, always happy to have our facts double-checked!

Thomas

When I found your channel, it was through the Napoleon series. As I watched Wellington march through Spain, I can remember my thoughts, clear as day. “Gosh, an American Revolution series from this channel would be incredible.” That was almost four years ago. I can’t tell you how much this series means to me. I visited so many of these places with my father as a kid. Such great memories. Now we watch your videos together, as soon as they come out. Just want to say thanks, for the 100th time. Keep up the amazing work.

Stuart Carver

What’s that Washington song playing in the credits? At first I thought it sounded like the tune from Bobby Shafto went to sea but I think it’s slightly different.

EpicHistoryTV

Thank you Thomas, that's great to hear. Only sorry it took us so long to make the series!

Stuart Carver

Oh god, it’s so obvious when you say it, feel like a right macaroni 😂

Kevin Xu

Great on addition to the series! I wonder if or when the discussion of slavery during the war will be discussed, perhaps during Dunmore’s Proclamation . I saw that as one of the points on the first continental Congress on 7:00, and the comments by Washington about not having British Parliament treat Americans like slaves is a bit hypocritical

St0nedB

Awesome video, can't wait for the next part! Is the 5-note flute whistle from a song? It seems familiar but I can't put my finger on it.

EpicHistoryTV

No, it's an original commission! But it's heavily inspired by some of the famous marches of the era..

St0nedB

Well, even better then! Great job. Its locked in my head and gives me goosebumps every time. Any chance to get it as an audio file?

EpicHistoryTV

Sorry, we can't release the tracks in that fashion, but we do release some video scores as audio tracks here on Patreon. See newsletters for more details!

Eli Khanam

Will this series mention what was happening in Florida during this era?

Caleb Hathaway

I hope so. Although not strategically important, it remained loyal to the British, which is a interesting fact considering all southern states eventually joined the colonies.

Caleb Hathaway

I love that it is unique to the video. It creates an incredible cinematic feel around it.

Leonardo Espino

Excellent video! I cannot believe that till recently I learned that the battle of Lexington and concord took place on my birthday! (April 19 obviously different century 😂 ). Wow and this took me aback since I always tell people that it’s before 420 and that guy whose name we shall not mention. Now I guess I will be excited when the video releases on April 18… as an early birthday gift 😂😂 for the public to enjoy this video! Also a side note, great video. I would add tho although technically it’s not a correction some little context on the proclamation line. Although relatively not important in the grand scope of the struggles that the colonials endured, the proclamation line was an indeed a sticking point for them but it was done due to pontiacs war. So idk if adding it would add a benefit but it did took me aback that it wasn’t mention as to why the British establish that line apart from granting lands to the native Americans which in a way it’s not true 100%. It was a pragmatic thing to do to avoid another conflict just days after the conclusion of hostilities with the French even if the war ended till 1764. Either way, GREAT JOB!

EpicHistoryTV

Actually this one's going out on your birthday! (And the anniversary!) Yes great point about Pontiac's War - we mentioned that at the start of the first episode, as important context for British policy on the frontier.

Lord John 🇵🇱💚

Pt2 was well worth the wait!!!! Falling in love with this series cmon Episode 3 lol 💚

Bardhyl Salihu

An absolute masterpiece. You’re doing an incredible work.

Medin Burnic

Outstanding work as always! I'm really digging some of this new music. It is excellent in showing the tension during this time!

TankerBricks

Is it me or do most wars start by small skirmishes as shown by Lexington and Concord and in the Seven Years War?

Samuel Pattinasarane

Toby, what is the name of the drum song at the start of the video? I’m all hypnotized by it through and through!

EpicHistoryTV

Haha, glad you like it! It's a new one, we just call it 'British March'. It has a companion piece called 'American March' which appears later in the video. You'll hear them both plenty more times in the series...

zachary

God i can't wait for you guys to do the battle of bunker hill it's one of my favorite battles

SImon Turner

Might not be popular, but from what I’ve seen and within the context of the time, the British didn’t actually do anything wrong.

EpicHistoryTV

Shhhh - I'm trying to delicately manage our mixed British andAmerican audience through this series.. It's not going to be easy.

SImon Turner

I take it you wouldn’t appreciate it if I referred to the Americans from here on out as “ungrateful tax dodgers”? 🤣

Mason Stover

It's not always that simple. Cultural context is everything, and these two cultures from what I could tell were simply incompatible at this point. Neither side was wrong, but separation was inevitable. It only came down to how and when.

Mason Stover

Excuse me? "Ungrateful Tax Dodgers?" Try "Protesters."

Danny Loftis

Awesome work as always from you guys! Love the content and always excited when I see you post! I have one minor nitpick. At 19:54 there is a banner representing a militia force in the north of the map near Medford that is present for a moment but abruptly disappears. Not a big deal but I know you guys are perfectionists so I thought I’d point it out. Love and support as always ❤️

John Wyk

I really enjoyed this one. Really cool. Very far From where America is now. But it’s also a very brutal and beautiful story of America. 🇺🇸 I must also add that I think it’s fantastic that you guys are doing the American Revolution, because it really flows well into the French Revolution and Napoleonic area! Really cool stuff guys! 😎👌

EpicHistoryTV

Thanks Danny! Good spot, we'll get that fixed for posterity..

SCL

As a Brit I am especially excited for this series. While this is an absolutely critical part of US history it's not really something ever talked about in the UK as its a relatively minor point for us in our 2000+ years of history. It gets heavily skipped over due to a little corporal from Corsica... Thanks as always to the team behind these videos. Can't wait for more!

Bardhyl Salihu

Who is responsible for the soundtrack? One of the best ever.

EpicHistoryTV

Edited by Patrick, composed by various artists, but a lot of Ben Hayden, as usual!

virginia statesman

I loved this one! After your Napoleon videos I was hoping you'd do the American Revolution next. Thank you! I love the tone and way you discuss events in your videos.

Dane Dosson

I just finished Jeff Shaara’s books on the Revolutionary War, great books! But I’ve always wanted to get alittle more of the English point of view.

Epic History Lover

Absolutely loved this video and part 1. It's compelled me to subscribe. Looking forward to future parts and the China series!

EpicHistoryTV

Thank you, and great to have your support! Love the username!

Rob Payne

Really hope to have a Bunker Hill video!

EpicHistoryTV

Lots of places! Check the credits for the major sources.

Tobias Wildenhoff (SaxoDK)

is there the ability to purchase the sound library you use, specifically for the firearms sfx?

EpicHistoryTV

Hi Tobias. Unfortunately not, but most can be licensed through various commercial sound effects libraries. Envato or Soundstripe are some places to start.
