What is the difference between an English Longbow vs an American Flatbow

Quite a few videos have surfaced lately showing how to make an English Longbow, mainly from our `cousins across the pond`. It seems there are some elements of the English Longbow that people are unaware of, meaning what they are making in their videos are closer to an American Longbow, sometimes called an American Flatbow or AFB. Here we go over a few of those differences in the hopes of helping a few people understand more.
