Why the Revolution: "Huzzah" or "Huzzay"?

Описание к видео Why the Revolution: "Huzzah" or "Huzzay"?

Hip hip huzzay! Hip hip huzzah! How did people in the 18th century pronounce this celebratory word? Today we may know it better by "hooray" or "hoorah," but its origins go back centuries. And while it may be difficult to truly know the answer, two poems may give us a hint. The Museum of the American Revolution's Dr. Tyler Putman answers this question and more in this editition of the Museum's Why the Revolution series.
