as a home school mom always looking easy way to teach my kid, and you are making social studies (US History) soooooooooooooooo easy we love your videos
I appreciate you viewing these videos so quickly and engaging with them! I kind of painted that issue with a broad brush, but yes, as we can see with government regulations today, any time the government puts artificial restrictions on the market, small businesses end up paying the price. By "pursuit of happiness," Jefferson is referring to economic freedom - to be able to do one's job free from government picking winners and losers. I'll post some videos on Jefferson's philosophy, soon.
I've got to be brutally honest with you: Not having a reasonable balance between government regulations and economic freedom is a recipe for disaster. Countries with too much economic freedom are a lot like Icarus - their economies might seem strong and prosperous at first, but sooner or later, they end up taking a long and painful fall because they flew too high. I'm not bashing anyone here - this is something I feel every American needs to know. Lack of moderation, _especially_ when it comes to economics, is asking for trouble. Does that make sense?
Thanks a bunch, Erica! Glad to hear it! I'm going to try to put out a US History video each week along with my European History videos, so I hope that some more of what I do ends up being useful to your class.
I'm using your videos in my Civics class. Thank for for bringing all the information together in a way that makes it less overwhelming for the students to understand.
David Koogler Glad to hear it! I teach AP Government to students who have already had US History - most of them with me - but my goal is to be able to use these videos as resources for students who need to review this content that I don't really have class time to reinforce in the AP Gov classroom.
The East India Company had high quality Asian tea, but were near bankruptcy. American colonialist preferred lesser quality tea smuggled in by the Dutch.The EIC sold it's tea to wholesalers in England.These wholesalers were competing w/ Dutch smuggler. The Tea Act allowed the EIC to sell directly to the colonies,cutting out the middlemen, undercutting Dutch profits and saving the company from bankruptcy...and the Americans would get high quality tea more inexpensively. The Americans balked b/c they saw it as Parliamentary Sovereignty all over again. THAT'S what led to the Boston Tea Party.
I've got a few topical videos on it and will do a more formal one sometime. Search Tom Richey Declaration of Independence or Tom Richey Pursuit of Happiness. In one video, I'm actually reciting the whole thing!
alright good to know thanks! the cyber academy of South Carolina provided me with your "Beat the EOC" review for history so i have been filling it out using your videos. I was just curious about it but i got it now.
Actually small colonial businesses suffered because they could not afford the "Stamp", which was now required by law in order to sell tea in the colonies. Leading to the monopoly. This was essentially corporatism.
This is a terribly biased account. 1. Once again, this came back to taxation without representation. The goal was to protest British Parliament's tax on tea that was imposed with the colonists still not having any say in the matter despite being British citizens. 2. The Monopoly put American tea merchants out of business. 3. The British East India Company had a surplus of tea that was just sitting in their warehouses. That's why they were willing to sell it at low prices. 4. Yes, Americans prefer freedom of choice. If the British East India Company could sell low-cost, high-quality tea, let them compete with others. Why do they need to forcibly put other people out of business and out of work? This is not an unreasonable thing to be upset about.
you stupid idiot. this is not biased. Im just trying to learn some history and i don't need someone freakin out in the comments telling me im learning the wrong thing!!!!!!!
it wasn't just about the tea prices, i mean.. the government (British Crown), the colonists had it pretty rough on the receiving end of The Crown, unnecessary deaths, bullying, assaults, thievery, you get all of that, and then the tea incident basically said this.. you have but 1 option, and that pretty much put fire to gasoline, oddly enough all the core reasons of the RW, are mirrored to our current government.. the only exception is, our government is worse.. tyrannical government throughout history, not just in America.. have fallen to "the people" , you would assume, governments would catch on lol but.. I'm proud of our ancestors for fighting, killing, and removing the grasp of power, controlling government, and i will be more proud of me.. and my fellow Americans who remove our current power hungry government in RW2
+BigBubba8410 i'd say americans were better of under british rule in 1766 than under the modern american governments who are bribed by corporations. At least the distant British gov of the 1700s were democratic.!
This guy looks like Matt Damon with a southern accent, which is ideologically surreal because our good teacher Richey here is a right leaning objective brilliant, fair and balanced patriot of history, whereas Damon is a woke leftist whose very gospel on the american past is Howard Zinn's people's history of the united states (watch the Bostonian "Good Will Hunting" for reference)

Doing a great job with the videos. I use yours in conjunction with my own as reinforcement for my US Government classes. Keep up the good work!

Great video with great information 👍🏻. Well done!
I love your video, big thumbs up! Great work thank you.

I understand. No disrespect intended. I'm a stickler for details! Your Servant, MiF :>
The whole idea was to wipe out the local small tea businesses by undercutting them completely. All to establish a road to monopoly.
“Keep in mind: this is _not_ theft, this is vandalism. There’s a difference!”
Lmao
Thanks for the video!
i was the latest person here. he posted on my birthday
Hey did you ever make a video for The Declaration of independence?
I've got a few topical videos on it and will do a more formal one sometime. Search Tom Richey Declaration of Independence or Tom Richey Pursuit of Happiness. In one video, I'm actually reciting the whole thing!
alright good to know thanks! the cyber academy of South Carolina provided me with your "Beat the EOC" review for history so i have been filling it out using your videos. I was just curious about it but i got it now.
How is it going in the colony ?
How can there be a train of abuses if trains didn’t exist yet?
Lol...I’m about to take a test on this topic. I would like to see what the instructor has to say about this.
Actually small colonial businesses suffered because they could not afford the "Stamp", which was now required by law in order to sell tea in the colonies. Leading to the monopoly. This was essentially corporatism.
imagine making fun of people for disliking a monopoly that was allowed through corporatism
you reminded me of Rudy Baylor from the rainmaker
Is that beer you are drinking?
I believe the amount of tea dumped in the harbor in modern US dollars is somewhere around $1 million or more (I have heard as much as $4 mil)
Will Welsh it was near 1 millon pound(british currency)
this helped me with my homework 😊
Thank you!
Tom, I love your videos, your videos helped me alot, thank youu Tom :*

You mean...TEARANNY of good tea.
Did Britain ever forbid the colonies from minting coin? And did Britain demand the colonies pay all their taxes and fees in gold only?
ja jane Those are great questions... well outside of the survey courses that I teach. Let me know what you find out once you investigate further.
it wasn't just about the tea prices, i mean.. the government (British Crown), the colonists had it pretty rough on the receiving end of The Crown, unnecessary deaths, bullying, assaults, thievery, you get all of that, and then the tea incident basically said this.. you have but 1 option, and that pretty much put fire to gasoline, oddly enough all the core reasons of the RW, are mirrored to our current government.. the only exception is, our government is worse.. tyrannical government throughout history, not just in America.. have fallen to "the people" , you would assume, governments would catch on lol but..

Nice Mic lol
Hmm, cheap tea and enforcing existing taxation laws ? These are no reasons for a revolution. Putting troops over there could be though.
this is boring
your boring
CAMERON EPP lmao u still fucked up
