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.

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.

"Everyone attack!" "RETREAT!" "ATTACK!" "RETREAT!" "What are you doing, Lee, get back on your feet!"

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.

Kings And Generals exploring new visuals..nice work

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.

I cannot say thank you enough for your great work I appreciate the entire team from top to bottom You guys rule my heart

I love this series. Keep up the good work.

Yes! Been waiting for this series to continue!

Thanks Kings and Generals, for everything you’ve given us these past years, you helped me through hard times relearning to walk with rehab and such! I’m on my feet now, can’t thank you enough for all your content that helped keep my spirits up! Happy late Easter to y’all!

Lord Sandwich!! 🥪

Plus Ultra 🇪🇸

I very much enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

Yes, both countries aided the rebel colonies. But usually the help of Spain its not often remembered, mentioned or even known. Everyone seems to remember Lafayette, but curiously enough forgets about Bernardo Galvez and how he and the Spanish army at his orders won the English army commanded by John Campbell in the Battle of Pensacola. The help of Spain does not limit to the intervention in one or two clashes. Spain borrow lots of money and deliver war material to the rebels, allowed the rebel ships to dock their ships in their ports. A century later, USA thanked the help received by declaring war on Spain and snatching Cuba, Puerto Rico, The Philippines, and Guam. In 2014, Galvez was declared by the US Congress as “hero of the revolutionary war who risked his life of the United States people, and provided supplies, intelligence, and strong military support to the war effort”.

Awesome video in an awesome series! Respect from a Missouri fan. I've actually visited Forts Kaskaskia and De Chartres. So cool to see Kaskaskia on K&G. Happy Easter.

My guess is the next episode will shift focus to the southern theater with the fall of Savannah Georgia and Charleston South Carolina.

We love you Kings and Generals ❤

Thank you as always for the videos

Amazing video as always. My only gripe is that in the Treaty of Fort Stanwix (1768) the only native nation that was a party was the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and the land they ceded was largely not controlled by them at the end of the Beaver Wars. That is why the Shawnee rejected the treaty. It would be like Japan in WWII selling Burma to another power just because it was briefly conquered. I think this is important because in the video it seemed that the Shawnee were simply not honoring the treaty, instead of the actual truth which is that the Haudenosaunee were never authorized to cede the land

Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁💯

Thank you for putting the American Revolution Videos together. Great content!

Great video as always

Great video! Waiting for more of the series mostly for Bernardo de Galvez part so underrated contributor to the US independence

One of the best series on UKposts!

I'm enjoying this series about the American Revolution. Well done and keep going!

As a Polish American and distant relative of Tadeusz Kosciuszko (thru blood and marriage) I would like to make special request to @KingsandGeneals team. How about entire episode dedicated to military genius and contribution of T.Kosciuszko to American Revolution War. I'm talking here about battle of Cowpens, Saratoga, building fortification of West Point and Fort Clinton. P.S. I'm Pole by birth, American by choice.

ty for the content as always.

Very, very nice video, i love it! Keep up the good work!

K&G: "The French had a humiliating defeat" also K&G: "An unfortunate set a circumstances left the British with no choice but to fall back"

Fantastic video, thanks!

Von Steuben mentioned!! 🦅🦅

We are very proud of our rich revolutionary war history here in New Jersey

"The Spanish King Charles III was also concerned about Spain’s colonies in South America getting ideas from the United States and rebelling against him". Kinda funny how it was the lack of a king that instead spurred them into rebellion.

Very good . I learned a lot for sure .

Happy Easter Kings and Generals

Great video, any chance for a seven years war series? Really good backstory

Woohoo. The battle of Ft Sackville got a mention! I'm 6 miles from Vincennes.

I appreciated the coverage of the western front, I had never heard of these operations before 👍

20:37 error: it still says "Monmouth" even though this battle is in Rhode Island...

Great video!

Just FYI, Maine didn't enter the U.S. as a state until 1820. It was territory of Mass. state until then.

Washington, usually modest and mild-mannered, shocked Charles Lee at the Battle of Monmouth Courthouse. Washington lost his footing when he saw that Lee had left his position. Peers saw that he was yelling so loudly that it shook the trees. After the incident, Lee was subjected to a court martial.

A Fantastic Video.

This is the best under 30 minute brief of this time period ever!! Especially time stamp 8:19. This is the first time I ever heard of the Earl of Carlisle's peace commission and it's proposals... BRAVO ZULU!!! Well Done!

excellent

Awesome stuff i love it

I enjoy the channel but the maps certainly use some artistic license (eg Philadelphia being on wrong side of Delaware River, Germantown wondering off to NE, Easton sorta ???)

I think @20:20 a more Eastern woodland environment/native setting could have been used to bring to point "Drums Along the Mohawk" 👍

"England, or later Britain, had never faced France without european allies since the 100 Years war"...

I hope y’all are planning to cover the Southern Campaign of the Revolution (the real turning point of the revolution). There’s a ton of fascinating battles and characters to cover!!

Very interesting!

No matter the motivation for helping, thank you France and Spain.

Great video! Tip my hat 2 u

Can you guys make a video on Toussaint Louverture?

My fav series

I send materials from work down to Englishtown Rd all the time. Monmouth has always been cool to me since I hiked the battlefield as a kid.

I wonder if Bill Slims Burma campaign in the Pacific series is coming out.

@KingsandGenerals when will the videos on the Albigensian crusade be made public for free?

7:50-8:20 what the music called?

Crazy to think 170 people could take an entire territory. I'd love to have a vid that summarizes combat like this and the evolution towards the line combat we see in the modern day. The Great War I'm sure is part of that, with air power being the initiative. But it's just interesting how for so long in history warfare was more about armies roaming around than the strict force on force we see now.

This video make me really want to replay AC 3

Seeing the map here really makes it clear just how compressed Ubisoft's frontier map, which stretched from Boston to Valley Forge, was.

I hope you guys cover General Greene in more detail. In my opinion he is the most underrated General of the American revolution. Even the British called him a strategic genius and he managed to organize a serious and well coordinated guerilla network in the South.

Long time viewer here, I love this new content so much! Y’all should cover the American loss at battle of the brandywine since it’s a direct cause for why the continental army stayed in valley forge

Which software you used for map design and animation?

Excellent video, as always, but I have a nit to pick. Monmouth cannot have "silenced Washinton's critics" because 2 years later the Congress would appoint Horatio Gates as commander in the South without Washington's approval (or knowledge?) In fact, I think Lee only became a "Washington critic" *after* Monmouth when he tried to blame his failures on Washington. What really "silenced Washington's critics" was the battle of Camden (which I bet you'll cover next!!!!) when Gates --"The Hero of Saratoga" -- fled the field and abandoned his army to destruction. Washington didn't look so bad after that. He may have lost a lot of battles but he never actually ran away and always kept his army intact. But, it's a nit. I really enjoyed the video.

Will you make a video how to US navy was established and the US-Ottoman barbary wars?

Interesting.

Is it just me or at 10:38 does it looks like Philadelphia is on the NJ side of the Delaware River?

Can you guys make a video on the Haitian revolution?

Great episode, as always. I must point out, however, that your map of New Jersey shown during most of the episode leaves much to be desired. For one thing, you place Philadelphia on the wrong side of the Delaware River, in New Jersey, not Pennsylvania on the west bank of the river. You also shorten the river, which runs the entire length of New Jersey and forms it’s western border, dividing it from Pennsylvania, a major obstacle to the movement of British troops. I do not understand why the British would have to march south and embark from Southern New Jersey to reach New York, when Philadelphia was the largest port in the colonies at the time and no major port existed in Southern New Jersey, except a fishing village at Salem, where you picture the British ships. Minor quibbles, I know, but you might want to double-check that.

i had no idea how unorganised both sides were in this conflict

Now do Lafayette!

I never thought that French losses during the French and Indian war would make them extra amenable to alliance with the fledgling continental congress. Same for Spain after the armada. I remember arguing with a chatter that the previous historic events were instrumental in the american revolution. But he would not budge that taxes caused the revoultion and nothing else.

My friend can you do a video about Srilankan civil war which happened 30 years one of bloodiest civil in the world in my opinion.

6:46 did I hear lord sandwich?

Lee got a "what for" kick in the ass!

Okay, everyone in concert: "Seventeen-seventy-seven, seventeen-seventy-seven, seventeen-sev..." *bytes on tongue* xD

That's why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique

Love ❤️

"The Battle of Rhode Island would be the last major engagement of the Northern theatre" *Springfield, New Jersey wants to know your location*

Good video.

Your map at 10:33 of the mid atlantic states of pa and nj is seriously flawed, the Schuylkill river is where the Delaware river is supposed to be and doesnt go north enough. Philadelphia is in the wrong spot, Germantown is closer to Philadelphia but between Valley forge. Otherwise so far so good.

The battle of Monmouth. The battlefield is still preserved today. I live a few minutes from there. Every year A reenactment is conducted. A museum was constructed and original cannon balls, musket balls, muskets are on displayed. Open to public.

The fact that their was a plan to attack Detroit is crazy to me because that could have brought the war to my hometown which would be sieged in 1812

Alguém pode me explicar porque eles adotaram a postura de dublar periodicamente os vídeos

6:45 "lord sandwich" Wait what??? I so want to be lord of sandwiches. How to i get that title?

Following the completion of the American Revolution will Kings and Generals cover the Battle of Jamaica and the defense of Britain's sugar islands, on which the economy rested?

Where is episode 3?

Von Steuben mention! 🌈🦅

“GIVE ME LEE!” I’m sorry I had to 😂

A lot of people are quick to say something along these lines: “A ragtag army made up of farmers was able to beat the greatest military in the world.” Something like this has been said so many times. That the Americans were able to use superior leadership, George Washington, guerrilla tactics and strategy to beat the better supplied British troops who just walked into the open without strategy and got mowed down by rifle fire from the trees in the distance. There is so much wrong with this. The Americans did not win the war. At least not the way many people think. They did not constantly outfight the British using better strategy and guerrilla warfare. All of the major American victories were fought in the conventional style of battle at that time. Yorktown, Cowpens, Trenton, and more. King’s Mountain and parts of Saratoga are some of the few arguably won by guerrilla manners. Next is that the British were not the greatest military in the world. They had the greatest navy. Their navy had won many victories in wars throughout the century. The British Army was formidable. But it wasn’t the best. It was in the top 10-5 best armies, but the best actual army was likely the French or the Prussians. The British army was on the winning side of many wars. The Seven Years War comes to mind. However, it was won with a lot of strategy on William Pitt’s part, naval superiority as well as expansion into other countries, such as in India. So the Americans were not fighting the best. A lot of American successes were inflated. Trenton was a small victory. They captured a town along with many Hessians, but overall, not the most decisive. It was the morale booster that made it seem great. Saratoga was a decisive victory, but keep in mind that the British had walked into a largely pointless campaign. Burgoyne had intended to push through American forces from the north and rendezvous with Howe’s army and another eastward bound force. General Howe abandoned this and attacked Philadelphia instead and the Western army was slowed by a series of battles. The British were now on a near pointless campaign and were already exhausted from previous battles. Of course, America never could have won without international aid, which they received from France, Spain and the Netherlands. Each side supplied the Americans, the French and Spanish sending soldiers and ships to fight the British. Britain and their Hessian allies ended up fighting against the Americans, Spanish and French. Fighting on so many fronts proved a challenge, which meant that since the British were defended so much against multiple enemies, they could never entirely devote to fighting in the colonies, yet another advantage handed to the Americans that is often overlooked. The British could not focus as much on them as they wanted to. Yet still, the Americans and their allies struggled against the British. A notable battle is Gibraltar, the largest of the war, depending on how you count. The siege of Gibraltar was a three year siege laid to the British-controlled city by the French and Spanish, yet still the British won. Even against so many foes, the British won decisive victories. Siege of Savannah (the British capture and defend the city against the Americans and French.) Battle of Camden (an outnumbered British force destroys an American force under Horatio Gates.) Battle of the Saintes (even though not important overall being after Yorktown, still worth noting seeing how heavily the French Navy was beaten, Admiral De Grasse being captured.) The war has been taught the wrong way. The American victories were won in conventional-style warfare. Guerrilla warfare is never enough to win a war alone. It was a behind the scenes success that largely was only effective on the frontier. In fact, the British were more experienced and arguably more skilled in guerrilla style warfare, as were many of their Native American allies. The British readily used Light Infantry. These were the fastest and smartest men that usually fought on the left flanks. They would fight in groups of two usually, with lots of space in between those groups. They were trained to take advantage of cover, hiding places etc. to battle their opponents, and helped in many major British victories. If I remember correctly, the rest of the British army in America attempted to adopt more Light Infantry tactics, pretty much dispelling the idea that the Brits were rigid fighters that sucked at guerrilla. But the Americans were not overly better than the British. British leadership was inconsistent. The generals were able to win many battles but failed to completely destroy the Americans. But they were able to constantly outmaneuver them. In fact, George Washington lost more battles than he won. It was his ability to keep the Americans alive that helped them win. It was also thanks to Nathaniel Greene outlasting the British in the south. The British generals were successful in the short term ideals. Such as William Howe, who defeated the Americans in New York and in Philadelphia, but failed to completely destroy the rebels, even when he had the chance to at Long Island. The Americans constantly lost in the short run, but their ability to live to fight another day kept them holding out until the French and Spanish became involved. After this, people like Baron Von Steuben trained and drilled American troops into a more professional fighting force. Then you have the fact that British troops were being sent to fight a war 3,000 miles away, meaning that British morale was likely pretty low. I would also like to mention the deciding battles before Yorktown, namely the Southern campaign. With the fight reaching a stalemate in 1778, the British struck south, capturing Savannah, shifting the theater. They held Savannah and beat the Americans at Camden and Charlestown, which were terrible losses for the revolution. The thing is, despite all this success, this caused the Americans to shift tactics. Nathaniel Green became general of American forces in the south. He focused on outstretching the British, forcing them into a wild goose chase and weakening their supply lines. This split up the British, and led to General Morgan beating Tarleton Banastre at the Battle of Cowpens. Guilford Courthouse, however, despite being a British victory, cost their already small force high casualties. This put Cornwallis in a bad position. So he retreated to Yorktown to await aid from Henry Clinton. This help did not come, and led to the Americans and the French trapping them in the siege of Yorktown. Francis Marion was a large help in the south as well, harrassing British supply lines and more with his guerrilla tactics (I did say guerrilla tactics are overstated, but while they can’t win a war, they can help support and effort in a certain theater). Lastly is Pensacola. Galvez and his Spanish forces captured Pensacola, threatening British Jamaica and sugar colonies, and forcing their navy to take up defensive positions, keeping a British fleet that could have likely stopped the French navy at the Chesapeake Bay from attacking. So, overall the deciding factors were: The British won short term victories, but the Americans lived to fight another day. French and Spanish aid gave the Americans the firepower they needed to fight. The British were not entirely committed to any single front entirely due to the peripheral war with France and Spain, meaning that America’s allies were largely successful in this theater. Francis Marion’s and Nathaniel Greene’s effect on the southern theater of the war led to British forces retreating to Yorktown. The British weren’t entirely devoted to the war in the colonies due to the fighting with France and Spain on the peripheral theater. The war was won by help from France and Spain. It really was just outlasting the British. Because the British could have kept fighting after Yorktown. They showed this with the Battle of the Saintes. They had the capability to try and capture or recapture major cities and hold off America’s allies, but they realized that it wasn’t worth it, abandoning the effort similar to what happened in the Vietnam war. So can we truly consider it an American victory? Not really. It was just the French and Spanish gaining the upper hand for the Americans. The American Revolution was complicated, but is often oversimplified by biased textbooks, authors and teachers. The winners write the history books, so don’t trust everything your friendly neighborhood textbook says. Peace!

Why is Philadelphia on the Jersey side of the Delaware River?

Spain helped the revolutionaries, and then America destroyed their empire😂

Charles Lee Appears in Assassin's Creed.

Wasn’t Lee possibly a Manchurian Candidate?

Please do the Battle of Kings Mountain in American Revolution. My relative was a Colonel in that pivotal battle.
