The Revolutionary War started when a few colonists fired their muskets against the British Empire, then the world's military superpower. It ended—against all reasonable expectations— with an independent American and the ideas of liberty and self-governance spreading across the globe. All that happened because the rebels won the major battles. This podcast dives deep into each of them. Social Sciences

    Grab your musket and your portion of rum, Yankee, because we have a war to fight! James Early returns to the History Unplugged Podcast to kick off a massive series called Key Battles of the Revolutionary War. We get in-depth into the battles that determined the outcome of one of the most consequential wars in history. But we also go deep into the background of social, political, cultural, and theological aspects of the of the 18th century.

    Scott and James kick off this episode by talking about the global-level changes in society that made the Revolutionary War possible in the 1770s, and almost impossible anytime earlier. They have to do with changes in warfare and weapons, government/society, political philosophy, British governing policy, and the American colonies themselves.

I teach American History and American military history. As I'll usually permitted only a week to cover the Revolution, I'll always looking for a means to summarize or create shorthand for explaining key events. I appreciate your assistance in highlighting the key events. Can't say anything was new but your focus on key narratives helped.

Well summarized

terrible back stories. this was not a organic food paradise. most meats were smoked or cured. people are what was local. water frequently was filled with bacteria causing cholera. I wouldn't give 2 cents for this bull crap. the age of enlightenment doesn't mean they stopped believing in God. you 2 are huge morons or purposeful liars.

typical woke spin and rewriting of history.
