Cornwallis Enters the Fray - American Revolution DOCUMENTARY

Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the early modern history continues with a series on the American Revolution - the War of American Independence. In the first video we discussed the main reasons why the Thirteen Colonies rebelled against the British crown (   • American Revolution - Causes, Problem...  ), while the second will focus on the beginning of war, as the two sides clashed first at Lexington and Concord, and then near Boston at Bunker Hill (   • Battle of Bunker Hill 1775 - Beginnin...  ). In 1775 and 1776 the war continued with the siege of Boston, American Declaration of Independence, Fall of New York, Battle of Long Island, Ten Crucial Days, the battle of Trenton and the battle of Princeton (   • Battle of Trenton 1776 - American Ind...  ), while in 1777 the tide turned with the battles of Brandywine, Germantown and Saratoga (   • How Did the Americans Turn the Tide A...  ).
