we bow our heads in gratitude and humility to those who gave all so that this nation could thrive as an example to the world.
I can’t wait to visit Yorktown one day. I served in the army so I’m sortve obsessed with revolutionary war history.
I think like many, I didn't learn or retain any of this in high school because US History was presented in such a boring fashion. I learned about this much later after watching Hamilton a few dozen times and diving deeper into learning about all the events. Great video and definitely planning on visiting Yorktown when I'm in the area.
Same. Hamilton turned me into a Revolutionary War nut.
This channel is a hidden gem. Great info, charismatic presenter, and great editing! Definitely a subscriber right here!
That really means a lot, Adam, thank you!
@@TheCuriousWorld I gave it a thumbs up, as demanded.
Bonne continuation from France. 👍
Visiting Surrender Field is amazing to think what went on there in 1781 at that very location. Wife and I live 30 minutes away and visit Yorktown often.
I watched your B. Arnold video earlier today and selected this one to watch next. I enjoyed this as well. My travels have never taken me close enough to visit, but I hope to get to Yorktown someday. Also, I hope people appreciate the French contribution to our revolution (the Dutch and Spanish as well). It doesn't get mentioned often enough. All too often "we" think "we" won this all by ourselves. There were a lot of countries that didn't like the British, and we had a lot of help.
😢
That is a beautiful place. I was 13 and now I'm 54 today by the Grace of God and Jesus. I would love to see the battlefield again one day
Thanks for the tour. It was awesome. Am subscribed now!
Loved this video! Have never been to Yorktown but it looks 👌
I Have been to Battle of New Orleans in Chalmette, Louisiana. I highly recommend. It was another major US victory against the British late in the Revolution
After binge watching the AMC series "Turn" because I saw it mentioned in the comments of one of your videos, I happened upon this video that sort of puts a bow on it all. Pretty great. I love your work! Keep it up!
Thank you! (Turn is such a great show!)
What a great video!
I'm going to Yorktown in about a week! and I truly loved your video here Thank you!!!!
Awesome, hope you have a great time!
Thank you for the tour!
I appreciate your casual sincerity. I’ve lived there and visited the various historical sites many times. It’s all must see for America-centric history buffs.
great video..... great information...... I live in Williamsburg and have visited Yorktown quite a few times but I still learned from your video ! Thank you !
♥️
Great job
as someone who is perpetually mixing up jamestown and yorktown thanks for making a video on each - the history teacher i needed! 😊
Haha, glad I could help!
I need to make a trip to Jamestown and Yorktown it appears they’ve upgraded there museums
As a child, I really loved excursions to museums
We were heading home from Hampton, VA and like usual there was a ton of traffic. We were a couple of miles east of Yorktown, and I remembered that they had Lafayette's ship, so we stopped and walked around. It was pretty cool to see it and go on it, especially while killing time for the traffic to dwindle... It didn't so we just took a back way home.
That does sound really cool!
I visited the Yorktown battlefield just under 3 weeks ago... gosh, how I wish I could've toured it with you! And not just because I got a little lost on the driving route (missed the road to Surrender Field lol).
"Turn: Washington's Spies" got me interested in the Seige of Yorktown, the Revolutionary War, John Andre (whom you made a video about and that's how I discovered your channel), etc. Will you be doing a video on the Culper Ring? :)
In any case, great channel, Bridget! Wish I found out about it sooner!
Thanks for the support, Derek! I definitely hope to make a video about the Culper Ring someday :)
After watching The Patriot movie i had to check out more about Yorktown and see where we finally got defeated :(
Heading to Yorktown this week. I appreciate the video
Going to yorktown in oct
Was the Revolutionary War the only focus of the tour ?
George Washington is my 1st cousin via our shared Gfather Nicholas Martiau. Nicholas's descendents include many other historical figures of founding families who were critical to the building of our nation. Through my Gmothers marriage to John Scarsbrook/Scasbrook, also makes us cousins with Queen Elizabeth.
Nicholas Martiau came to what is now called Yorktown in 1625 as an engineer to strengthen this, Point Comfort & other protective forts along the Chesapeake & James River. He was the founder of Yorktown, held land patents including the battlefields.
He is buried at the church right there in the village w/memorials & other members of his family.
I am surprised he wasn't included or more prominently mentioned as without his immigration, we would have at the very least, no George Washington & possibly no Independence of America.
Our schools barely scratch the surface of chronological events, researching my ancestry opened up an incredible world of what every day life & the journey our country has made in ways I never imagined. *You never know who your related to today.
I thank you SO VERYmuch for sharing your experiences & what you learn of our country's history with others.
Great video. Thanks for the work you put into it. Also it's nice to see the younger generation taking interest in the American Revolution and US history in general.
at least you've got me... I've loved history since I was around 9 years old. I'm 23 now
Great video!
Thank you!
My hometown I live right around the corner by the naval weapon station walk to the beach every weekend
After watching The Patriot movie i had to check out more about Yorktown and see where we finally got defeated :(
Well done!
Visited the museum just after it opened. A lot of money for so little outcome. Great, expensive, detailed displays. Nobody to interact with or answer questions until we went outdoors. Hope they fixed the "automatic" theater which didn't work. Form over function.
💥💯👍
Привет Бриджит! Покажи нам пожалуйста место битвы под Геттисбергом. Говорят, там водятся призраки и до сих пор можно услышать звуки давно прошедшего боя. Ты же любишь призраков, правда?
You look like one of my history professors but 30 years younger. Weird
That is weird
