Armchair Field Marshal here. Fighting in a bog is never a good idea unless you can draw the enemy cavalry into it. So the choice of battle site was a grevious error and gave Cumberland all the advantage. Not having experienced guides for the night march was the biggest one, however. Night moves are always dodgy, so that one was really badly organised. Had I been in charge, I'd have slunk off , in good order, leaving Cumberland wondering where the fight was going to be. However, if there was going to be a fight, I'd have used the fog to move the bulk of the Highlanders to Culloden park and attack the left flank of the redcoats, only keeping their attention to their front with the few cannons I had. Oid nooit be runnun over theyt bog, Laddie.

The night march was a total disaster, arriving far too late at Nairn to effect a surprise attack, turning back, the jacobites were shattered physically and mentally.

And don't forget how dangerous that bog will become generations later for any travelers, whether man, orc or hobbit. Bogs have always been known for their almost supernatural ability to preserve a corpse. We don't need the spirits of those fallen to tempt and trick the unweary with lights, lights which lead them to their doom. Unless you happen to have a guide who likes his fishes raw and riggling. So for the sake of Frodo, Sam and Gollum avoid battles in bogs

Several things: Most jacobites weren't Catholic, though some of the biggest supporters were, they were however marked by the religious belief in hierarchy and the divine right of kings, politically speaking they were opposed to the power of parliament. Ironically pirates (the stereotypically Caribbean kind) during this period were often also jacobites and it is odd that both are depicted as freedom loving and democratic when they were in fact ultra-conservative opponents of political liberalism (though for the pirates the religious motivations were somewhat overshadowed by the fact the Stuart's had been great supporters of privateering). Indeed the whole movement was a great deal more comparable to the Carlists in Spain than to modern political movements (though the Carlists were much more successful). The highland romanticism was primarily to do with Sir Walter Scott rather than Victoria, she merely made it the trend in English high society as well as Scottish. The bravery of highland troops also played a factor in the change in attitude, as the loyalty of such men was not to be questioned after their services to the nation. While that very same highland romanticism is popular among the independence movement I would argue that it is not the source of it. Due to the clearances most Scots are lowlanders and the lowlanders have a history of hatred of highlanders that the English never did, the romanticism means that Scots can forget the actual dividing lines that once existed but the redirecting into a sentiment of independence is very tied into the fortunes of empire. While the jacobites had loyalty to crown and concept of monarchy itself (many who were exiled to America ironically fought with the loyalists in the American revolution due to their deep opposition to republicanism), the lowlanders signed away the political independence of Scotland for commercial and financial reasons, this as it ended up suited them very well and they would take a very disproportionate role in the imperial enterprise of Britain. They would set up business and settle in every land the British touched and they would take a prominent role in every type of interaction, providing merchants, soldiers, diplomats, leaders, settlers, administrators, evangelists, national hero's and basically everything else the expansion of empire needed in great numbers, also as a result Scotland (along with many other parts of the British isles which are now neglected backwaters) boomed, it became a centre of education, commerce and culture and Edinburgh became the second city of the world. The first world war was a great upset, the economy was left in shambles, a massive number of Scots paid the ultimate price and despite the later stereotypes it was the political leadership of Britain and not it's generals that were almost solely responsible, it is unsurprising that when the rulership of the country continued to be abysmal (as it has to this day) that people in Scotland started thinking about constructing a new national identity and a myth to wreath it, they had been happy to strive for the engloryment of Britain when that meant their minority share was still of an ever expanding pie but they had never signed on to being shackled to a declining basket case and they very much preferred to not be dragged under with it. If course the problem they face is that their political class is not more competent than that in London and they will have to do more that romanticize past glories to institute the reforms necessary to ensure long term survival, due to the massive overlap within so many British institutions they are unfortunately fused into the problems and at this point independence will only localise them.

1:50 -- RE: The Latin Word for James, Jacobus; There may be an obvious reason why I had noticed this a long time ago (I'm a Junior, BTW, Dad was also a James but his university degree saw right through that) but it took me a much longer period of time to figure out the wheres and the why-fors of how it turned into James from Jacob. One of the best pieces in the puzzle comes from Shakespeare. The play "Othello" has a variation on it which is downstream of Latin and intermediary to modern Spanish and English. That name is Iago. And consequently, also via Spanish is Jaime which seems to be considered an alternative form, perhaps a little like how Williams become Bills. Many languages with PIE roots have a tendency to use multiple letters for the same sounds; compare Caesar to Tzar, or perhaps even better Zeus to Theos to Deus to French's "Dieu".

And Oh! RE: Getting up in the morning...; I have some personal wisdom to share in this regard too. When I was younger and engaging in pursuits etymological and otherwise I was in the habit of consuming great quantities of coffee. In short, I gave up coffee in favor of tea (which I already quite liked anyhow) and didn't drink much coffee at all for a decade or more. I used to consider myself an insomniac. I now understand better what effect the coffee was having on my late nights, not to mention the all-nighters. More recently, I heard an aphorism which made a lot of sense in relation to the coffee. Every hour of sleep a person gets before midnight is worth 2 hours after midnight. That's definitely true the further north in latitude we go. *And then,* the best part of the wisdom. After I had turned 40, I re-discovered what coffee is for. A former housemate left behind an espresso machine, and I re-acquired the habit of getting up early to put on the Morning brew. Since it was espresso for a while, I settled on having large americanos cutting the product with hot water. After a time, I settled on a French press instead, and to be honest, I prefer that. And cousin, there is nothing better than that for an alarm clock.

Also, Jemima Nicholas, a blacksmith by trade but also, it is said, employed part-time as a chucker out at pubs in the town, armed with a pitchfork led the women of the town out to round up the French.

In New York we managed to preserve most of the Adirondack forest that falls within the Adirondack state park. So large it can fit all the federal parks within it. It's thanks to teddy Roosevelt that it was saved. I'm sure the Canadian lumber industry is glad for it too. Roosevelt oddly did not allow the federal government to claim the Adirondack park as a federal park. Probably because it covers a third of the state. So private property is allowed within it but there a strict limits to what can be done with that land. Most having little more than hunting lodges and cabins on them.

Walked the battlefield numerous times and it was a.shocking poor decision to have fought on .....the outcome may have been different if the advantages the Jacobites army had to better use on flatter open area....

Really good video but the history around the jacobite weapons is a tad incorrect. The Jacobites infact had a large number of firelocks (muskets). Some French but mostly captured Hanoverian arms. There is a fair bit if evidence to support the theory that the jacobites actually exchanged fire with the government troops for some time apose to the traditional theory of it being a melee force vs musket and bayonet. When it comes to jacobite melee weapons. There havent been any lochaber axes found at Culloden. There also have been very few broadswords found but this may he due to them being taking as prizes or saved due to there cost. As for targes the term buckler refers to a much smaller shiled that covers not much more than the hand. The term boss refers to the central metal reinforcement found in most but not all shields. You are correct about the majority of the jacobite army being armed with farming tools and improvised weapons but broadsword ls wherent just used by chieftains. Infact most of the front rank would have been made up if taxman. These where the tax collectors of the clan and the better of Clansman. I really don't want to come across as a "ummMMmm actually" but thought you might find these wee tip bits interesting. Again sorry if this was annoying and thank you for the wonderful video.

The thing with the Lochaber axe and the older muskets comes from a quote from a burgess of Edinburgh, whose name escapes me at the current moment, who made particular note of the arms the Jacobite army carried. It is of course possible that they were able to upgrade in the intervening time, but I went with a primary source for the purpose of accuracy with an asterisk, if you follow my meaning? I should have further mentioned that the arrival of the French regulars proved a bit “chalk and cheese” to the Jacobites as they’re differing ways of fighting did not gel very well, hence why they were held in the reserve.

Nothing qualified O’Sullivan to be Charlie’s advisor as he was nothing more than a quartermaster. Ok for organising horses and supplies but absolutely no authority on fighting strategy and tactics.

Due to the Act of Union, I felt fairly confident in saying British but of course throughout that time the two words were kind of interchangeable for the most part. But I know what you’re driving at.

James VI/I and Charles II were pretty good kings who did a lot of good for the British Isles. The House fell apart because Charles II married a Catholic who raised her son to be one which resulted in the law that Catholics could never be king, a law only recently undone.

Well I wouldn't have picked a bog for my battle for one. But that would have been as good for the enemy so who knows. I can say for sure i would not have bayoneted a wounded man who was likely already dying.

@@barbararice6650 well aren't you uppity. I never said I couldn't stick a bayonet in an enemy I said I couldn't do it to a man who was no longer an enemy but a prisoner in every sense of the word. You know nothing about me. Who I am, where I've been and what I can and can't do. That you could kill someone who is surrendering means you are disturbed.

There is an argument for it but attempting to take a city of (then) five million inhabitants with just five thousand men? Not easy. Even if one percentage resisted, that’s still far over what they could comfortably deal with.

The Catholic / Protestant thing has a long history but there was much more to the 'Glorious Revolution' than simply the deposing of James 2/7 who was after all the rightful heir to the throne of England. What William III brought with him was the Venetian financial oligarchy who previously ensconced in Venice had move to Amsterdam which became the primary financial hub after previously Antwerp had lost this place. That brought the beginnings of rule by finance and the beginning of bankers wars. They also enabled the BEIC together with its corporate bedmate the Dutch EIC began to loot and plunder the world and brought fortunes to those involved through slavery and tyranny. The country changed enormously as a result and great fortunes were made but it has been rule by oligarchy ever since.

@@sugarkane4830 I agree it was a power struggle. Ever since the treaty of Westphalia the formation of the nation state led by France was a threat to the 'internationalists' who ran the Dutch and English East India Companies. One of the reasons the moved from Amsterdam was because of the threat to them from France. Ever since then they vowed to destroy the monarchies that thwarted them particl ularly France as was finally achieved in 1789 and also Russia. Russia took a bit longer though but the destruction was more complete.
