    Fun fact, after the successful shipment of warming pans to the Caribbean, Dexter was convinced it was cold down there and later shipped a boatload of winter clothing. Of course, there was a group of people (I forget what they were doing in the Caribbean) that were heading to modern day Russia and decided to buy the shipment there so they wouldn't worry about it later

      Even without the Russia trip he probably still made some money on the winter clothes, albeit slower. I saw a video on pirate clothes from the Golden Age where the creator mentioned every pirate would still have some winter clothes as 1) piracy was not limited to the Caribbean and 2) its gets cold on the ocean.

    Also, there’s no way in hell that when Sam says ‘No punctuation, random capitalization’, it actually is a Game Grumps reference, right? Either way, I would’ve never once guessed that random caps was common in writings of the period and would’ve (appropriately, I might add) assumed that it was unique to ‘A Pickle for the Knowing Ones’

    13:50 I get it, it's like watching Dumb & Dumber. I can rationally understand that what Timothy is doing is kinda terrible, but it's still funny.
    It also helps that everyone involved has been dead for centuries.

    Timothy Dexter was an anomaly.

    Just looked up J.Snowden and saw some of the currency! That is such an interesting historical note and I know you have a million of them! Hope you can get your hands on one someday, I dread to find out how much these go for on auction

    I'm always a little disappointed when people know his segue is coming and cut it off early on this episode, because it's literally the most replayed segment of the video, by a LOT. XD

    Hey, Chris, it's been awhile since I've visited your channel. And yesterday, I just had a sudden interest with history and I'm just binging most your reactions, and I'll check out some of your original stuff aswell later, but I have a question, do you know Joshua Norton? If so, then, feel free to ignore my request! But if you happened to not know him, maybe you could do a reaction of him, Sam also talkes about him, and has a video about him.

    You know, in my area, it's more often that Pizza Hut buys other businesses than close locations, so this video gave me the impression that they would add their hat onto buildings they bought...
    If you want more, I _think_ Count Danjula did a video on this guy too.

    Did not know about the fact regarding random capitalisation back then! Was that because the modern rules of capitalisation weren't thought of yet, or a sort of insufficient literacy?
