Americans learned war fighting in North America. So the American way of war has always emphasized logistics and using technology to make it easier in contrast to the Europeans who get obsessed with tactics. And small battles. Generals who fight like Europeans in North America such as Lee and the Confederate officer corps tended to lose...

As an American, and a Student of History, I truly appreciate all that the French and Spanish did in support of the Rebels. But, it is also clear that they did this mainly to defeat the British, rather than to support the Rebels. The French had spent many years fighting the British and even considered invading England, while the Spanish wanted to retake Gibraltar. The American Revolution was fortunately well timed to coincide with the French and Spanish Goals.

This is the most important point about the revolution.People fail to realise that if it did not happen at this point, it would irrefutably never have happened, because only 2 decades later The British started the Industrial Revolution and had steam powered gunships for decades, before the French got them, followed by the German states followed by the US. Also, if this had happened and the US had lost, It's even more certain there would never have been another war of independence, because then the Brits would have been more covert about selling the skills and information developed around the Industrial Revolution In our timeline other countries were able to get steam powered gunboats within a few decades, because consultations were made in London, Paris and the German states where this information was sold to foreign engineers and entrepreneur groups, for cash *It's from this point of view that it should be easy to see why the idea of MANIFEST DESTINY developed, because it's not just, like we think, that it was because the colonists won the War of Independence, but also because they absolutely HAD to win it when they did!

That statement about John Tyler at the end is amazing.

Actually, the shot heard round the world was the shot fired in Concord, not in Lexington. Because in Lexington the colonials stood their ground but then were blown away, while in Concord the Americans fought back.

I don't think it's appropriate to paint the various militia forces for the various states as "Americans" in 1775. They didn't have a national conception in that manner. Even the Continental army was composed of regiments from different states. We should endeavor to be specific and to reject modern patriotic fictions.

Stop using that meme of the stupid play and actually use the depiction of Hamilton. You know, the actual Alexander Hamilton paintings of the real man. He was a real person. Let’s stop using fake historical fiction when talking about the contributions of a real man
