Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the early modern history continues with a series on the American Revolution - the War of American Independence. In the first video we discussed the main reasons why the Thirteen Colonies rebelled against the British crown ( • American Revolution - Causes, Problem... ), while the second will focus on the beginning of war, as the two sides clashed first at Lexington and Concord, and then near Boston at Bunker Hill ( • Battle of Bunker Hill 1775 - Beginnin... ). In 1775 and 1776 the war continued with the siege of Boston, American Declaration of Independence, Fall of New York, Battle of Long Island, Ten Crucial Days, the battle of Trenton and the battle of Princeton ( • Battle of Trenton 1776 - American Ind... ), while in 1777 the tide turned with the battles of Brandywine, Germantown and Saratoga ( • How Did the Americans Turn the Tide A... ). France and Spain joined the war around this time, putting even more pressure on the British, who now had to defend their European and Caribbean holdings, too. Despite the fact that the battles of Monmouth Courthouse and Rhode Island were tactically inconclusive, the situation for the Britain continued to deteriorate.

The Battle of Monmouth Courthouse was one of the few times the reserved, mild mannered Washington tore Charles Lee a new one. Lee had abandoned his position and upon seeing this Washington lost it. Onlookers said his cursing was shaking the trees. Lee was court martialed after the incident.
-
"Everyone attack!" "RETREAT!" "ATTACK!" "RETREAT!" "What are you doing, Lee, get back on your feet!"
-
Kings And Generals exploring new visuals..nice work
-
Fun Fact: At the Battle of Monmouth while Washington was dressing down Charles Lee a Sergeant who was a Connoisseur of Foul Language was near enough to hear it and what Washington said to Lee was the most beautiful thing he ever heard. Which gives you some idea of what was said that day.
-
Fun Fact: Charles Lee was captured in 1776 by the British just before the Battle of Trenton. And while he was with them he was treated with friendliness n curtesy. Lee often ate with British Officers and would give them advice on how best to defeat the Patriot Forces. Something Washington wasn't aware of as he worked very hard to get Lee back.
-
Another note on Spain in the Revolutionary War, Spanish forces assisted the Americans in Upper Louisiana under governor Fernando de Leyba, who provided assistance to the Clark Expedition in Illinois and fought indigenous forces allied with the British at the battle of St. Louis, helping to keep the Mississippi supply route active and deny Britain’s First Nation allies the chance to strike at the American frontier in Kentucky (more than they already had).
-
The Spanish Gulf Coast campaign against Florida was mentioned at 4:34 - will this be covered in more detail in the series? Galvez ran a very interesting and well-planned campaign against the British in the area.

I expected to see mention of Bernando Galvez' expeditions in the South. I didn't learn till recently that Tejanos also fought in the campaigns, and it's believed that's why American Revolutionaries helped in the first Texas Revolution.
