The Revolution on History channel

• thavoice

  Didnt have much to do yesterday so I went for a run and a couple of bike rides.
  Did catch quite a bit of the show on History called The Revolution.
  
  Great show. Entertaining, educational, and I learned a number of things that I hadnt known or just plain forgot.
  
  I think that everyone should watch it in the days/weeks before the 4th to refresh their memories of what it took for us to get our independance

  I spent a good part of yesterday watching this (and recovering from a hangover) from about noon - 7pm. Awesome series which I've never heard of. Learned a bunch of stuff I never knew about the Revolution

  Same here. I dont recall it being on History channel before, but I bet that is whom originally aired it.
  
  I didnt realize how vital the french were to our victory.

  Great show. Have used clips from it in my history classes.

  oh, and wow, lots of admiration for Nathanael Greene and Daniel Morgan for punking the British throughout the South while outnumbered. Well documented in the series and incited some chest thumping patriotism on the 4th

  I watched the Patriot. I didn't realize Mel Gibson was that pivotal in our independence.
