Sad to observe that this “noble experiment” has run its course. Not only are we no longer the “united” states, but if we were to hold a convention today to write a new constitution and form a new union, it would never happen. The 50 states would never agree today to live under any unified federal government. And yet, we no longer have the freedom to go our own way. How it will all end is anyone’s guess, but end it shall. Most likely in complete economic, financial and social collapse…
Slaves that cast their lot with the britiish ? Their owners cast their lot with the british

Bengamin Franklin practically stated the French Revolution from taking all of their money.
Wondering why you did not reference Washington’s headquarters in Newburgh,my in 1782–1783 at the hasbroucks house and strung logs with chains attached across the Hudson River to stop attacks from NYC?
Republic, not a democracy. The formation of a nation with the understanding that there is a devine power which should guide its actions.
A government guided by the people, democracy, will soon go the way of the Roman Empire!
Not Kool watching it repeat it self
I’ve learned so much that Mr. Benjamin Franklin had done for the colonies Amazing BA Man. 🇺🇸💪🏼
Rarely is it noted that it was the French, who were familiar with siege tactics, who were instrumental in the British defeat at Yorktown.
And look at us now. Once again we are at the turnstile of uncertainty .
My husband thinks I’m psycho because these videos help me sleep at night lol
Yes! Get those Loyalist losers OUT!
The audacity it took to create the United States give me goosebumps. The fact that the American Experiment is still going on with the same basic foundation that was laid back then leaves me in awe.
This entire series should be required of all students, preferrably in early highschool, establishing a solid foundation of who we are and who they are.
I love this stuff… makes me yearn makes me for the kind of purpose that these men felt.
The belief in making something new, something that transcends my own desires and building a new nation.
Looking around now, I sincerely doubt that this is what the fathers of this once great nation had in mind. A bunch of feminized men pretending to be women, and masculine women who have no qualm about dismembering children in their own wombs. A nation devoid of God.…SAD 😔
the irony at the end. if the blacks had stayed in new york there may have been a strong enough influence to end slavery way sooner
There’s lots of repetition in this video, which is also on another video. Sad.
1783…🇺🇲
Wonderful and informative. Thank you for the work and documentary.
I live in Hampton Roads Virginia. I drive through these scenic areas of history all the time. Currently looking at the field headquarters of Washington-Rochambeau planned their victory. Crazy to look at these areas of field and trees where our nation’s birth happened. Visit the Historic Triangle of VA if you ever can.
I feel like Washington wanted to stay at Mount Vernon but felt he wasn’t just needed but that it was his God given duty to lead the United States
Living 5 minutes away from this battlefield my whole life, its crazy how much it means to our country, i forget living here.
7:44 ironic it was the independent united states in ww2 the only reason for the survival of england
We should of never let congress be allowed to
Give
Themselves raises
I could listen to Edward Herrmann all day, he heightens the experience for me.
I challenge the History Channel to explain where in the Jay Treaty America declared its neutrality
Simply wow!
John Adams also founded the US Marine Corps for sea warfare, That branch later fought America’s first overseas conflict at Tripoli in 1805.
We were never intended to become a democracy
