We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.
This could and maybe should be used for scholastic use in history classes. This is so well done!
Except for, quite ironically, a few small inaccuracies of European maps in this video
@@TheSlazzer give examples you noticed so it can be cleaned up.
@@BH02377 45:08 shows the map of Europe before ww1. Alsace-Lorraine is shown as part of France. Historically, it would become French after the Treaty of Versailles.
@@TheSlazzer 👍
@@TheSlazzer there are a few other inaccuracies as well, such as complete omission of Tecumseh and American illegal conquests of his territories which prompted British support and a handful of other important things about the war of 1812. A few of them feel like white lies to save face here and there. Still entertaining.
Hands down, the absolute best account of American War History ever told. Many points that are not taught, even excluded on our history; yet resonate absolute TRUTH and knowledge. Please don't miss the key points that sheds a whole new light on the intentions and powers that were behind the scenes. Thank you so much and hope to see more eccentric works in this fashion.
What are you talking about?
the woke spin on history@@user-hs4ih8zp7e
I appreciate the colonists part of the American story but what about the battles Indigenous peoples had to endure from European invaders??? Isn't that a part of America's Wars?
hear hear!
@@hughdismuke4703 it would be but this is from American Nationalists sorta like where you live in Russia.
I'm googling every battle, what an amazing recap. 200 years worth of history distilled into an hour long visual description. Well done!
war of in south and north america in middle east and afghanistan with russia and china and north korea and europe ukraina...etc
My father was a marine in the 4th marine division and fought at Iwo Jima and recieved a purple heart. He died in 2015 and seeing this reminded me of him. Very emotional.
my grandfather was too. dad says he didnt talk for a few years after getting back.
Thanks from my family to yours for his service to our Great Country; The "SHINING CITY ON THE HILL" to the 🌎
R.I.P. sorry for your loss ❤😢💔🙏🫡
this is top tier production, very well done!
Isn't just incredible that we live in an age where things like this exist? Sub and liked, really wonderful, also love the choice of music and narrators voice. Bravo everyone!

What, ma documentary?
Wars you mean ? or knowing about history. We Europeans should have stayed home then nothing of these things would have happened.
Born and raised in Sackets Harbor and live right near the famous battlefield of 1812! So much history in such a little village that I’m proud to call home.
USA is a big mystery !
Don't you mean so much death, your proud to live there?
We won 🇨🇦
@@bigolboomerbelly4348Canada didn’t exist until 50 years later give or take. The British fought the Americans (mostly) in the ‘War of 1812.’ The others who fought were native. The idea that Canada fought in and won the War of 1812 is like me saying that America won the 7 years war.
If I'm a teacher, I'm definitely playing thing for the class on veterans day.
You play your thing. Then play this on Oct 9th. Native American day. Remind everyone what was stolen that they now have.
@@derikclose1421 should've fought harder
@@derikclose1421skill issue
@@erikpalacios4279 the amount of ignorance is not even surprising.
@@derikclose1421 Right after the "Natives" migrated to their "native land" that they brutally murdered each other over.
Turns out civil war within their tribes didn't help them in the long run...
OMG! I enjoyed this soooo much🇺🇸As a U.S. Army Veteran. This needs to be shown in every 5th-12th grade classroom. Our history of war, how to avoid it, and respect for those who died for their beliefs, honor, and our flag🇺🇸
The US has been a continual force for evil since its conception, especially since 1945. As a veteran, you would have been part of the forces for evil, not honour
Gotta respect those who fought your racist colonizer ancestors. As a veteran I respect you. As a country we despise american capitalism
The way against the brits was basically a civil war, a world without the brits would have been bad, countries like the US would simply not be around and the dirty fence would have been on top.
@@hdk07while that same capitalism brought the US at where it is now...
@hdk9256 Our ancestors won, and yours lost. You would be celebrating if your people were victorious. You're just bitter because you come from a long line of losers.
This is spectacularly done.
I agree! This is a perfect introduction for students who are learning about American history.
@@BlueSideUp77 well thanks.
Agreed
@@borisborski1876 well thanks.
I cannot explain how much i loved every second of this production, thank you SO MUCH for this absolute masterpiece.
Bro I'm a walking WWII encyclopedia because I love history. I think God I chose to watch this video because our entire country's history is awesome. And I'm an Apache native American but I'm not a victim and this is what created our country made it great❤
You are definitely a victim mentally.
This is sooooo well done
This is one of the easiest summaries of the French and Indian War I could present to students. Well executed. The only minor suggestion I would offer is to actually add a tint to the shading to show which sides exerted practical control over which region. At 2:08, a red or blue tint would help students decipher the visual regions claimed by both the French and the British, for example. Please don't mistake this as a criticism as this video is already very helpful... I'm just wishing for perfection in the classroom with students who are still learning the geography/topography of the United States.
THIS is where the classroom can Supplement the video.
The Liberal Education System has Hijacked factual history for Critical Race Theory. Forget World history and even Geography. If doesn't fit the Neo-Marxist, Anti-Capitalistic Socio-Communist Agenda, it is not to be found in Syllables from K-PhD.
Nicely said.
@@douglasbuck8986 As if the teacher didn't know that? Tinting (showing geographical extent of each side's areas of control) has no good, quick, clear verbal equivalent. Tinting is a good suggestion.
Battles are not the way to teach American history. There should be specific courses for military history especially for those headed to the military academies, but not for the general population.
What is needed is putting the history of the Americas into world context. That ends with the French & Indian War. Hard to believe but our Revolution allowed Russia to absorb Ukraine and destroy the first parliamentary Commonwealth in Europe: Poland-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Why do you think Pulaski & Kosciusko were in the US? The Czar had defeated them but they heard the US was promising the freedoms they had just lost.
This is such an amazing history video. The quality and documentary style is just astutely executed! Amazing job!
Magnificent summary of Americas Wars. The closing brought me to tears. God bless.
So much information to cover in such a short time for each conflict, you managed to convey it in a beautiful way. Wonderful storytelling
This is why I support ABT when I can! Because of all you'll do to keep History alive and true. This SHOULD NEVER be put on a shelf or not taught in schools! As the old saying goes, "To ignore history is to Repeat it"! So I appreciate all that the American Battle Field stand for in preserving Battlefields and our Beloved Union! A VERY well done documentary as always! Many Thanks!!!
This is an amazing and well visually put together project! The voice over and graphics are remarkable! (Also love the well placed quiet references to the Marine Corps Hymn!)
I love how there are so many references to so many things in this video, adds another layer of intricacy that really shines even in it's simplicity
A Bridge Too Far was one
One of the best American military history channels out there, yet another great video.
Great historical and educational presentation. This needs to be part of every student's curriculum.
Very well done. The pacing and narration are the best that I've seen among documentaries. So captivating that my attention never strayed. In fact, I would suggest an hour or two be given to each conflict, applying the same methodology as this. Thank you so much! p.s. The maps excel!
Wow🎉. This was wicked awesome. Great narrative as well as video play❤. Thanks for sharing
i’m excited for this video cause i’m a huge supporter of US Military and Military History since i was in Middle School
Same but no more wars for israel
@@yeehaw3792 what?
@@yeehaw3792When have we ever fought a war for Israel?
@@alexratzloff894 Lmao look up the clean break memo.
@@yeehaw3792 sounds like a conspiracy, fake news to me...
All of your content is fantastic. This is the best yet. Special kiddos the the cartographer, the details are amazing.
Fantastic show!! Put a lot of things in order for me. Thank you.
Stellar, obviously each segment can be an hours long topic, but so much information in a short time. Amazing!
Bravo, ABT! This film will have quite an impact.
Extremely well done and educational , thank you to all the creators, May God Bless you and your families!!❤❤❤
What a Fantastic synopsis!
THANKS SO MUCH!
😎👍
More content like this please. There is nothing else like it.
Loved it, I hope to see a part two with the wars up to this day.
I’d love to also a videos dedicated to each wars separately in this format
great watch!!! thank you for making this. Well done, great editing, perfect voice over. bright future.
That was outstanding! Totally enjoyed it. Thank you.
I'm going to hit the like button even though I haven't seen the full video... this is what we needed!
Unbelievably great video. I learned about a couple wars I didn’t even know happened
Ditto!😊
Hey, fellow bullitthead here!
Like the majority of Americans, when regarding their own history and conflicts that their imperialistic military has engaged in.
Very informative! Thanks for putting that together!
I learned so much from this great documentary, as a non American (from NZ). I have even more respect for the great nation of USA. 🇺🇸
Britain took their eye of the ball. They didn't think their citizens in the 13 colonies would revolt and didn't expect both France and Spain to help the rebels. If they'd known what the 13 colonies would become I doubt that financial problems would have worried them to the extent it did and they would have taken it more seriously. As it was it shocked some in the government and the King but the people of Britain if anything sided with the revolutionaries. Some areas in Britain like the famous American Ground in Hastings on the South coast of England declared independence and tried to join the new USA.
Hmm.. actually it is more a US propaganda movie then accurate. If you really into US history I think you need to seek other other sources than US is so awesome, - we skip all the bad facts of the US - we are unable to use correct maps - ones.
@@MasterFeidnThere are plenty of anti American videos. Go watch them if you don’t like this content. I can only assume you’re not too bright.
❤That was outstanding! Totally enjoyed it. Thank you.👍
Good job putting this together dude. Very informative and intriguing. ✌️
Nice maps, excellent speaking pace, great tone, and fascinating stories...nothing more to say !
François de Montréal au Québec
So glad you put the Texas revolution on there🥹
now this is epic
I cannot begin to thank you for this. I use your videos in my classes already but this is one that I want to shout about to every social studies teacher I know.
This presentation was done nicely on video and thank you for a look into the past glimpse.🦁👑🦅
crazy how much info this gives in only 1 hour! Awesome stuff
The French and Indian War needs more time! Please
I completely agree with you on that because I was surprised that the fighting at Fort William Henry, Carillon and Lake George was emitted from this video because i was expecting like what they did for the American civil war with the troop movements and general names.
Yes!
I love to listen to these kinds of videos, I learn a lot and it keeps me so entertained
Just shared this with all my friends. Excellent history lesson and one Americans need to take to heart.
Love the work you guys do!
Going to have to watch this a few times. Most excellent video.
I loved this. And everything you all do is just great and amazing ❤💯 From beginning to End.
Excellently put together. Didn't know we fought this many wars. We only learn a few in the classroom.
Man i love this channel , the civil war battles were amazing and detailed!! I look forward to new videos from you guys everytime i log in ! Thank you!!🇺🇸 🇬🇧
absolutely top notch. I'll be watching again.
They will be remembered. God bless America. Thanks for the great video.
This video leaves out the largest and most widespread Plains Indian Wars of 1863 - 1869, starting with the Santee uprising of 1862, the Dakota Wars of 1864-65, the huge and relatively simultaneous Sioux-Cheyenne-Arapaho uprisings in the wake of the Sand Creek Massacre that rage from Oklahoma to Montana, and ending with singular Indian victory of Red Cloud's War. These overlapping conflicts involved over 15,000 troops and as many as 3,500 Indian combatants.
FWIW, I was unaware of the involvement of either the Cherokee nation or the Six Nations in the Revolutionary War on behalf of the British government.
the Cherokee covered quiet a swath of land on their own; kinda makes U mad that taxes became a permanent tool for the gov't to enslave us to the wardogs
@@robertcuny934 ABT has a longer video covering American wars that include the colonial period. I don’t yet understand it all but The Creek, Cherokee, Six Nations involvements were not so cleanly for or against the Brits, the French or the Revolutionary era colonial history.
this is top tier production, very well done!. this is top tier production, very well done!.
-So well done, Thank you so much for this
The gold standard of historical content. Well done. ❤
Really? This is "the gold standard of historical content"? 180 years worth of history squeezed into a whitewashed 58 minute video? Entertaining to be sure. But "the gold standard of historical content"? 🤣
@@Nihilianth The American Battlefield Trust has been making historical content for years. They have raised money to support and grow these American battlefields like no other organization I am aware of. With access to the best historians and years of knowledge at their disposal I never have to wonder if what they are telling me is correct. So yes, in my opinion they are the GOLD STANDARD for historical content. And I stand by it.
@@JOEHOVA I said nothing about the organization, but about the video. You're responding in the comment section of this specific video, and I was.respondong to your comment. Nice try at moving the goal posts.
But, yeah. No. This video is NOT "the gold standard" of historical review.
@@Nihilianth This video is a great introduction to people without a deep knowledge of the American Wars. If you try to dive too deeply on such a massive topic you lose people. This is something I am very familiar with in my profession. But I am sure the content you make is much better. feel free to drop me a link. 🙂
@@JOEHOVA No. It literally is NOT a "great introduction to people without a deepbknowledhe of America's wars." Because, once again, it isn't even an introduction. Anyone who has gotten past 5th grade already knows everything in this video. And for those who never have gotten past fifth grade, this is t going to help them understand anything about "America's wars."
So excited 😆 love this style of video
Very well produced, thanks!
This is entertaining AND informative! Super good.
Kudos to you guys for covering such an amount of history in less than an hour!
Absolutely loved watching this. Learned a lot. Thanks
this is so amazing thank you for this
Simply an outstanding production.
I love history...not just American history but all of it. amazing video! Thank you to channels like yours for making incredible videos like this! Us history nerds truly appreciate it!
USA is a big mystery !
Absolutely brilliant 👏🏻 well done Sir 👍🏻
This is months old and you might not see this but I was taught this already but you have made this so much better then any history class I have been in keep up the amazing work
This was a fantastic video. I am a war, historian, nerd, and I learned a ton from this, well done!
This is wonderfully done. Please do another showcasing post WW2 conflict.
Excellent Summary of how the US Came to Be and how we arrived here at 1945. Your video is a great summary without getting into the details of every battle, war, or conflict as a country we have been involved in up to 1945, I have subscribed to your channel and hope to watch more of your videos.
I just had the best brain HistoryGasm ever.
Thank you.
Saved, Liked & Subbed
I live 15min from Yorktown. I frequent the battlefield trail a lot.
The Map of the German Empire prior to WW1 is incorrect. It does not include Alsace Lorraine and Northern Schleswig in the territory of the German Empire.
Thank you so much to ABT for keeping this history alive. Absolutely one of the finest American history resources available!
Absolutely amazing video!! Great narration, video, reenactments!! 🇺🇸
Nice job!
the tribute at the end really was touching 😢❤❤❤❤❤❤ 10/10
i would love watching videos in this style about any country, especially Canada. i know there isnt as much to talk about, but this video was so well done i just want more
It's times like these you gotta just be so thankful of the technology we have at our disposal, for FREE, like this amazing CZcams educational channel. Great production value, and I'm not even American.
Love that this starts by the focus of the camera exiting the Illinois Monument at Vicksburg National Military Park in Vicksburg, MS!

This was absolutely incredible. So many smaller wars I had never even heard of before. Thank you for doing this!
They skipped about 30 smaller wars too. lmao
They didn't mention the Beaver Wars.
Wow. Incredible. Thank you.
Bravo, well thought, well planned and Explained.
Some of my favorite topics to read about is the world wars. I’ve learned the maps of Europe from pretty much just those alone. And also the Smithsonian books and from the WWI gaming series. I think the maps of Europe are so interesting. I hope you guys do more eventually, like other European wars, but I guess that wouldn’t make sense, but would be cool still!
Well they left important stuff out…might look bad for the USA, and reputation is more important than truth!
This really puts into perspective what our ancestors had to go through to build and mold our country. It wasn’t always easy, a lot of mistakes were made, a lot was lost, and sometimes, bad things happened (not trying to downplay anything). Though we stumble, we still have our flaws and problems, and we might look around and not always like what we see, this is still our home, our country and it’s up to us to ensure a bright future, just like those who came before us.
As a veteran, I agree. It’s agonizing to see that our current administration has a different agenda.
this was such a great video! id love to see one for 1945- present
wow really good video, i love history so much, so powerful and intense when u hear about these great ppl that sacrifice so much for the future of the world.
Fantastic video. I will have my kids watch this to get a basic understanding of the history of this great nation, and the sacrifices made by all those brave soldiers, and their families. Our history should be told, pointing out the true history of our country, for better, or worse.
"True history" of our country is a right wing dogwhistle of a phrase that attacks all the hard-working schoolteachers across the country. It's typically uttered by grown adults who haven't been in school in decades, and who haven't paid any attention when they were in school decades ago. It's also rather ironic for someone to praise this video so vehemently to also then brag about using this to teach "true US history." This is just a very brief, and sometimes misleading (see the sections of the World Wars that leaves out the contributions and names of "the allies" while only specifically mentioning the US. It doesn't even give the Soviet Union any credit, except a blue shade.)
@@Nihilianthright wing dog whistle?
@@kenshinyang7375 it's just another American hating "Progressive" spewing nonsense.
@@Nihilianthlmao knew there'd be some political radical here
@@Nihilianththis video is about US wars and their contributions in wars, maybe that's why its...ya know...centered around the US????🤡 Better to teach your kids history with *this* rather than take the woke liberal route and try to erase it like it never happened 🤡
Awesome stream 🇺🇲
Wow. What a fantastic video and so humbling. I'm so grateful for the generations before me.
Thanks for this masterpiece
The ferocity of the American invasion of Canada in 1813, culminating in the burning of York, now Toronto, is completely diminished -- not even mentioned. This goes some way to explaining the burning of Washington the next year.
Plus the Battle of Stoney Creek, where a surprise attack by British/Canadian troops forced the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Niagara Peninsula, torching of Newark (Niagara-on-the-Lake) and the British raid into Buffalo
They cherry pick 1812 moments and hate to admit they lost
I’m a very patriotic American. But the one thing I can’t get by is the treatment of native Americans. I have creek ancestry so it’s likely my ancestors were here when this all happened. I can’t fathom being removed from my home land. I wish we did better for the Indians
Instead of coexistence, they chose war. They sided with the British and tried to keep the white man out. Imagine the world today if the US had never developed. The US was necessary.
Fantastic. Wonderful job presenting
Thanks for making this!
Thank you!
My great great grand father, who is name was Lieutenant, colonel, Samuel S Lewis who fought in the Texas revolution war
Was this a witty parody of people who incessantly post “My dad, or my grandfather…” comments to war videos? Or did you really think your relative 5-6 generations removed was a conversation piece? Heck, with the number of wars Americans have fought it is nigh impossible for anyone to go back 5-6 generations and not have a relative that participated in a war… everyone could write your post.
Well, my family goes back to Revolution war crew much my friend is a military
@@momagic383well since us founding stock are now a minority in our own country, pride in our ancestors is a thing to treasure. The "New Americans" hate our history
@@momagic383Why would you do that ? Dump on people who are just appreciative of the sacrifices their relatives have made
Does that make you feel better about yourself to cast dispersions on other person's family members .
I'm thankful to them as well as my own that have been in each of these conflicts and more. Half my family came here in 1520 the other half was already here .
Every conflict in our history and some before both sides of The Civil War to present day you can find one there sacrificing so you have the right today to run your mouth .
