By the summer of 1776, the Revolution seemed won, until a hundred British ships darkened New York’s horizon. What followed was the first great test of George Washington’s army in the Battle of Long Island.

Anyone like this for absolutely no reason

Can’t wait for the ken burn’s revolution documentary coming out next month
Nicely informative video
Matthew 19:26
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Isaiah 41:10
"Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
🎶British Admiral Howe's got troops on the water
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbour
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbour (thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbour)
When they surround our troops, they surround our troops
When they surround our troops (they surround our troops)🎶
although i appreciate your awesome videos. many videos are very "great men" focused. i miss the social, geographical and common man's (and woman's!) perspectives.
feels like patriotc nation building more than a balanced historical account to my neither english nor american ears.
would love to know more about the hessians for example.
please take this as feedback. because i enjoy Extra history a lot! <3
Silly fact about George Washington:
He went to bars and forced intoxicated people and those who didn’t understand English to enlist in his army by making them sign a contract.
If they failed to comply after signing, desertion was met with firing squads 😀
(Nice end, though the means to it were a bit shady)
