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 (https://youtu.be/_5_jkn_ODCM), 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 (https://youtu.be/2LEgs_H2gYg). 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 (https://youtu.be/WTC8vdLGAtE), while in 1777 the tide turned with the battles of Brandywine, Germa...

Cornwallis: Soldier and Statesman in a Revolutionary World
Charles Cornwallis was a leading figure in late eighteenth-century Great Britain. His career spanned the American War of Independence, Irish Union, the French Revolutionary Wars and the building of the second British Empire in India. Focusing on the first section of his new major biography on Cornwallis, Richard Middleton offers insight into Cornwallis’ time in America and shows that Cornwallis’ legacy during the Revolutionary War is significantly more complex than the shortcomings he is most often associated with.
About the Speaker
Richard Middleton is an independent scholar and was formerly associate professor of American history at Queen’s University Belfast. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Exeter and is the author of The Bells of Victory: The Pitt Newcastle Ministry and th...

The Wild, Three-Continent Career of Charles Cornwallis #1: Losing America
Perhaps no British officer in better exemplifies the globe-spanning nature of the 18th Century British Empire as General Charles Cornwallis. Having fought in America, India, and Ireland all within a 25 year span, he is often remembered by those nations in isolation, but when his career is pieced together, it mirrors the history of the empire itself during one of its most pivotal moments. This video, part one of three, deals with his time facing the American Revolution. #americanhistory #britishhistory #britishempire #colonialhistory #americanrevolution #yorktown #georgewashington #declarationofindependence #revolutionarywar #documentary #colonialism #englishhistory

American Revolution: Cornwallis' Elite Soldiers
Today we are once again visiting the American Revolution.
It's a war that I am only just learning about.
I am joined once more by author Robbie McNiven to find out more about the 33rd Regiment of foot during the revolution.
The 33rd was arguably Britain's most elite regiment of the era and they fought in almost every major battle of the revolution.
Their colonel was none other than Charles Cornwallis - famous in America as the man who surrendered at Yorktown.
But despite this he was an excellent officer that cared about his men and was determined to forge the 33rd into a unit to be proud of.
Robbies book on the regiment during the revolution is called "the Pattern" and and here is a link to it - https://amzn.to/3UmtUky

The Wild, Three-Continent Career of Charles Cornwallis #3: A United Kingdom
Cornwallis returned from his mission in India to find Europe in chaos amid the French Revolution. Now an old man, he mostly remained on the sidelines, but when a major revolt broke out in Ireland, the government urgently called for his assistance. There, Cornwallis realized that the kingdom needed reform to survive. #britishhistory #irishhistory #englishhistory #history #britain #england #kinggeorge #unitedkingdom

Lord Cornwallis || Subversion Of The Sovereign
Charles, Earl Cornwallis (1738–1805) was a military officer who served in the British Army during the American War of Independence. He is best known for surrendering his army after the 1781 Siege of Yorktown, an act that ended major hostilities in North America and led directly to peace negotiations and the eventual end of the war.
Lord Cornwallis played by Tom Wilkinson. Banastre Tarleton (Colonel Tavington) played by Jason Isaacs.

France and Spain joined the war around this time, putting even more pressure on the British, who now had to defend their European and Caribbean holdings, too. Despite the fact that the battles of Monmouth Courthouse and Rhode Island were tactically inconclusive, the situation for the Britain continued to deteriorate (https://youtu.be/J0G_6Pjv6DU). However, situation in the South, where there were more Loyalists and the British forces were led by Cornwallis, was better for Britain, which showed itself during the Battles of Savannah, Charleston, Waxhaws, Camden and Kings Mountain.

Today we are once again visiting the American Revolution.
It's a war that I am only just learning about.
I am joined once more by author Robbie McNiven to find out more about the 33rd Regiment of foot during the revolution.
The 33rd was arguably Britain's most elite regiment of the era and they fought in almost every major battle of the revolution.
Their colonel was none other than Charles Cornwallis - famous in America as the man who surrendered at Yorktown.
But despite this he was an excellent officer that cared about his men and was determined to forge the 33rd into a unit to be proud of.

Cornwallis returned from his mission in India to find Europe in chaos amid the French Revolution. Now an old man, he mostly remained on the sidelines, but when a major revolt broke out in Ireland, the government urgently called for his assistance. There, Cornwallis realized that the kingdom needed reform to survive. #britishhistory #irishhistory #englishhistory #history #britain #england #kinggeorge #unitedkingdom
