American Revolution - Road to Rebellion

-----------------------------------
In the late eighteenth century, Britain has consolidated its global empire and now dominates North America. But in defeating her colonial rivals, she has also amassed huge national debts.

To alleviate Britain’s financial woes, Parliament levies new taxes on its American colonies. But they have gravely miscalculated the response to ‘taxation without representation’. While some in the colonies remain loyal to their ‘motherland’, a growing number of settlers decry the measures and protest violently.

American ties to the British Crown are weakening, enterprising attitudes are flourishing, and as tensions rise, a growing independent spirit will carry these patriots to the brink of war.

Whoever narrates this and the napoleon series is the best narrator ever, gives Morgan Freeman a run for his money

Always with the best intros the internet has ever seen, great work!

[dminard]

The level of effort and production value that go into these videos is truly insane. I grew up watching PBS (american public educational tv) and this is better than anything they ever put together. I really enjoy the slow rich pacing that really sets the mood. Its the same reason the Napoleon videos are so good. Keep up the great work!

Wow, this video absolutely blew me away! From the very first second, I was hooked by the incredible energy and creativity you poured into it. The visuals are stunning, and the way you’ve edited everything together makes it so smooth and captivating—I couldn’t look away even if I wanted to. If this is a music video, the beat is fire, and the vibes are just perfect; it’s the kind of track I’d have on repeat all day. If it’s a vlog or tutorial, I love how you explain things so clearly and with such passion—it really feels like you’re talking directly to us, the viewers, and that personal touch makes all the difference. The effort you’ve put into the little details, like the lighting, the transitions, and even the sound quality, shows how much you care about delivering something special. Honestly, this is the kind of content that keeps me coming back to YouTube. I’m already excited for your next upload—keep up the amazing work, you’ve got a new fan here! Oh, and to anyone reading this, hit that like button and subscribe if you haven’t already—this creator deserves all the support!

As someone who loves the American Revolution and as much as the Napoleonic Wars, I hope this goes as in depth as your Napoleonic Videos

[FreyaofCerberus]

As always this channel is the absolute gold standard of historical documentaries on Youtube. Fantastic stuff!
Also gotta love the ending; "The gloves are coming off", cut's immediately to an Su-6.

An intriguing breakdown of how Britain’s fiscal struggles sparked the flame of rebellion! This video skillfully reveals the shift from loyalty to defiance, highlighting why 'taxation without representation' ignited such passionate resistance. Looking forward to Part 2!

The creators of Napoleon and Kolchak Series are now uploading on the American Revolution! God, what a time to be alive

[Nin-lv]

Thank you for your quality work, I have been following you for a long time and I am very happy with your wonderful work. Thank you very much

[Bormington]

I'm looking forward to this series.

[TheGrandeCapo]

Great video, but it's unsurprising because this channel is very high quality. American Revolution is pretty neglected in my country, so I'm happy to learn something.

[PinkLady]

As a Canadian I listen to your videos to find out about American history which we weren’t taught in school. Great job!❤

[MysticHistoryAI]

Excellent breakdown of the causes behind the American Revolution! It’s fascinating to see how tensions built up over time, leading to such a monumental shift in history. Can’t wait for the next part
