You forgot to mention the capture of British airports, a pivotal moment in the war of 1812!

Pretty much everyone in the comments: “ that sin is unforgivable”

I'd love to think that I'd be out there in the revolution as an American minuteman, but after tracing back my family lines, I discovered that I've got loyalist heritage. Oops..

Both sides of my family came to Virginia in the 1620s, landing in the same port. Both sides went to the same church throughout the 1600s and early 1700s in Virginia, and both sides fought for the states in the revolutionary war, one being a captain of the unit my mom's (many greats) grandfather was in. Later on, in the 1970s in California, my parents were married after they met each other at their church. Little did they know that both their ancestors shared a church at the same time in the 1600s and early 1700s all the way in Virginia.

As a Spaniard I always found the Spanish Louisiana kind of funny. All that land that supposedly we owned, and we didn't barely do anything northeast of the Rio Grande. I mean, I know why, but still.

Before the Battle of Saratoga, Spain provided 30, 000 muskets, 30.000 bayonets, 512, 314 musket balls, 215 cannons, 12, 868 hand grenades, 30, 000 uniforms, 4, 000 tents y 300, 000 pounds of powder and took over Pensacola and blocaded the Gibraltar strait, diverting British troops from the 13 colonies.

That's the reason you see that blue strip around the Ohio river.

On December 16, 2014, the United States Congress conferred honorary citizenship on Gálvez, citing him as a "hero of the Revolutionary War who risked his life for the freedom of the United States people and provided supplies, intelligence, and strong military support to the war effort."

Yes!! Someone did their homework! I love seeing the state of Vermont being recognized as a republic before it became a state! Not many people know that and I find it to be a unique piece of the state’s history. Awesome video!

[AlexYorim]

No one but me mentioning the Vermont Republic?

[techguypaul]

Continental Congress: we're independent from Britain now
Vermont: we're also independent
CC: what the hell, man?

A moment of silence please for all the RAF pilots shot down during this bloody revolution
