once washington and the army seized dorchester heights and fortify the british army -- and fortified it, the bridge army -- during that time he appears to be a standard militia soldier. the militia was composed of men able to bear arms in massachusetts. they included free men of color. so slave owning was not extremely popular. in fact, most slave owners wherefrom upper society, so they tended to be civic leaders, ministers, officers and the local militia companies, large time merchants, or sometimes even farmers who have a little more wealth and property. so those of the types of men that owned slaves in the 1700s. so the lives of the slaves depended on where they lived. so in boston they live different lives than those in other towns in the countryside. common wasthe most farm labor, so they tended to work on the farms, doing the general farm tasks. sometimes it meant that they work alongside their enslaved owners. and their children. other times it meant that the majority of the labor was done by themselves. the most prominent examples are those men and women and slaves to the loca

but it wasn't nearly as much as there should have been for what happened to the british army and the british air force that resulted in dunkirk. >> in addition there was another major decision that had to be made with halifax and churchill so initially he was favored to be selected so how does that decision come to be made?. >> that is true having this vote by the way i should be clear that it was a vote in favor of a carrot -- chamberlain but the margin of victory was so small he knew he had to redo the government or resign. said a majority of people would have preferred halifax search of the most of the tories would have. and most of the labor leaders wanted halifax churchill was not a popular with labor and infuriated them time after time. so with this group of tory rebels and from the time the debate was over when chamberlain finally resigned their work today's that they really campaigned for churchill very hard to get the same time halifax wanted to be prime minister he would have. he had that meeting with chamberlain and churchill in which he said there are a number of reasons t

the british army is a listed to

europe or north america for their crimes and we're we've seen also the collapse of trials against british army soldiers and overturned similar to the recent case in the us overturning of sentences in convictions of british soldiers for war crimes so i think this is really the kind of. like i say a broad a broad trajectory of. proving to the world showing to the world that british us forces have impunity and them and that extends to their mercenaries as well unless it was really interesting this trial in the us is it was from two thousand and seven when the u.s. forced on the iraqi government an agreement that their troops and their mercenaries would not have would not be able to be tried in iraqi courts so they had to make some semblance of some kind of show that they were going to try soldiers in u.s. courts and now even that seems to be being rolled back a very troubling development i think yet dan although we should stress i mean nobody's being acquitted here is going to be a retrial and the sentences are going to be looked at again so i mean you sumption is by many is that they will face a

where the british army cracks through the german lines. we still have this problem.you start with 453 tanks, but you see what happens. by the end of the first day of battle, you are down to 155 tanks. the day after that, 85 tanks. can anybody tell me what you think will happen by the fourth of august? you're not going to have any tanks. idea, and you are developing these concepts of combined warfare. the battle of amiens, the british are combining airpower and also aircraft going deep to interdict their flow of supplies, combined with artillery, combined with tanks, combined with infantry together. they are seeing the way. the combined arms we use today in the u.s. army are not a whole heck of a lot different. but the technology is still not developed enough to make it reliable. now, if you are the germans, you have got a problem. you've been fighting a two front war. in 1917, it is going to be a break year for them. on the plus side, the russians the go off and revolution. by early 1918, they remove themselves from the war. problem is the germans do some goofy thing

the british navy and army sailed away to another prize port, new orleans. w, what we do hear about is the crucial battle was on lake champlain picked because it was at that time that the british launched thei the presentation m the north with the veterans in the napoleonic wars marching down the new york sure and vermonters built a fleet in about six weeks. men cutting down 100 white pine trees a day in shifts so that in a matter of a few weeks they had enough timber to build a fleet to stop the british fleet coming down lake champlain. so this terrific battle on lake champlain that lasts two hours and 20 minutes, but it really decides the outcome of the war of 1812, because the british lost that naval battle to a 28-year-old commodore named mcdonough. because they have no ships to support their army, the british army turned around from plattsburgh and marched back to canada. when that word reached belgian, john quincy adams and her nucleic our negotiators, sat down for the umpteenth time in the year a negotiation and decided on a stalemate. both sides were

the british army is running india. thecommander walked through gate in jerusalem and said 1355 years of muslim rule in the city are over. think about that as the political change brought about by the war. that's complicated enough if it was not the fact that the british government already had promised that tight little piece of land with ill-defined borders was promised to the arabs, the jews and that -- the to themselves. in many ways, today, we are still hashing this out. isis literally takes bulldozers and bulldozers the line -- bulldozes the line to make the statement the first world war borders are going away. i could have used china, latin america or any of the mutual european countries to make the case that even states that the not fight this war are fundamentally altered by it. war, the first world first time canada signed a document on its own as a independent state, no longer willing to work through the british foreign up. the same story in australia and new zealand. fundamental changes in the world as a resu

so the british navy and army sailed away to another prize port, new orleans. ow, what we don't hear about is that the crucial battle was on lake champlain because it was that time that the british launched their other invasion from the north, with veterans of the napoleonic wars, marching down the york shire, and 'vetters built a fleet in six weeks. men cutting down 100 white pine trees a day in shifts so that in a matter of a few weeks they had enough tim for build a fleet to stop the british fleet coming down lake champlain so this terrific battle that lasted two hours and 20 minutes but decided the outcome of the war 189 1812 because the british lost the battle to a 28-year-old come door named mcdonough and because they had no ship thursday supportshire army, the british army marked back to california. when the word reached bell jump, john quincy adam and henry clay, our negotiatears, sound down for the umpteen anytime a year of negotiations and decide on a stale matte. both side were broke. the british par him did not want to appropriate anymore money to fi

and in fact, the man who designed carpenters all, robert smith, was building fences against the british army and the british fleet and in fact he died of pneumonia in 1777 from having stood in chest deep ice water in the delaware river building obstructions to keep the british fleet from attacking philadelphia. and that's a familiar story in the history of the company, that several of the members did give their lives for independence. and even during the siege of philadelphia this very spot was used as a hospital for the wounded americans. under the articles of confederation, which was the first government that was established after the revolution, the delegates throughout the colonies realized that it wasn't working. it wasn't a functional government because it did not have the powers to enforce its laws over to require the various states -- now the states, to pay parts of their debt and so on. so the delegates all returned to philadelphia from the states to independence hall where they drafted the federal constitution. well, drafting a constitution is one thing. getting it adopted is anoth
