So simplified, America: Stop taxing us. Britain: No America: K then I declare independence. Britain: No I will fight. America: Pew pew pew. Britain: Pew pew pew pew. France: K guys ima help America. Britain: Okay I give you guys win.
Keith, of all of your videos, in this you really sounded like you were having fun and truly enjoy the topic. I only wish I had had you as a history teacher when I was young. I would have enjoyed it much more! Kudos!
You make history and current events fun. Hopefully you will attract a new generation with this. I personally love history and am always interested in seeing it shown in a new and fun way. You are great sir. Keep it up.
I like how cut and dry and to the point this is, but the sound quality is quite annoying. Every so often I'd have to adjust the volume, with various sound effects being so much louder than the speaking, and it being very late at night right now. The vocal sound could use some more dynamic range, too.
I thoroughly enjoyed your video. It was certainly pithy, but I do believe it accomplished what it was meant to. I also appreciated the enthusiasm you appear to have for the subject matter. This did not seem the least bit arduous for you to discuss. I am certain I would enjoy a more thorough video or series of videos on our Revolution if you were to produce them. Very nicely done, sir!
Very interesting video. Keith, I really enjoy your history lessons. You know your stuff, and are an engaging teacher. Keep it up! p.s. ignore the trolls.
Another very insightful video. It is really cool to find out how close this war actually was compared to how the media through film tends to portray it. It is also rather interesting to contrast and compare The American Revolution vs. Canadian Confederation, both interesting in their own rights, but the revolution a bit more of a fun read (that coming from a Canadian). Keep them coming Hip Hughes!
great video! IMHO, your voice needs to be a bit louder and the sound effects a bit quieter, but I've been searching for a while now for video like this. Good work.
Awesome .....The French and Indian War is a semester long here in Maine during Maine Studies. I'm pretty sure there are a couple forts still around by the Canadian border. You filled in where America the Story of Us left out.
I definitely appreciated the talk about British parliamentary representation here, especially as I just watched the opening episode of Blackadder the Third. And Tom Richey’s episode on Chartism and rotten boroughs.
My teacher shows your videos in class and assigns them as homework. I personally do not like history, but you seemed to make it energetic. I love how you put sound effects in it along with pictures not history related (Rainbow Dash) Also some point in your video there is an "e" in the middle of the screen.
Trying to brush up on my history I appreciate the lesson. But it was hard to hear you with your mic and then all the special affects were pretty distracting. Good lesson tho just hard tostay focused.
General John Burgoyne, AKA Gentleman Johnny, was a better dramatist than military officer. His last name is pronounced the way it is spelled, with a hard "g" and with the oy as in boy, not zjown as a French pronunciation might suggest. It is a sure sign of an avid reader who spends more time with books than with media when someone so knowledgeable mispronounces so many words.
I really enjoyed the video, but I gotta ask: why no love for everyone's favorite fighting Quaker, Nathanael Green? Just kidding, can't wait to watch your next one!
I'm British but not a troll, genuine question out of curiosity what's the "attitude" towards us Brits in America today? I mean I know this war is so important to you guys and that's understandable so which part our shared history matters most to you? in the UK we are taught to love the USA because they did so much for us in 2 world wars and then MI6 carried out lots of espionage on behalf the CIA in the cold war (the origins of James Bond lie here) and then finally we worked together to crush Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, in our country this war gets a tiny mention but I know it obviously means more to you guys so was just curious wether you see us as ancient enemies, recent allies or do you just totally separate the 2 periods of history and see them as not connected to each other?
It depends who you ask, but the overall opinion of the UK is very popular here. As you pointed out, a lot has happened between then and now. If you think about it, we have been allies for almost 100 years, and we share many of the same values and ideals. The war for independence is important to us obviously, but we don't hold Britain in contempt for it. World War 2 is probably what most Americans would say is *the* most important event we shared. I'm not saying that nothing else was important (I think the UK's efforts in the Cold War were phenomenal), but we see WW2 as the beginning of our golden age with the "Greatest Generation". Naturally our alliance with Britain at the time was very positive and that translates still to this day.
+You N'wah thanks for your response, it's nice to know that we aren't perceived as being greedy Empire builders who are both evil and incompetent in equal measures as shown in the movie The Patriot
No way man, Britain has brought more good to the world than bad.I've also made too many friends from there to think otherwise. Sure there are things I could criticize, but the US is no saint either.I was never a fan of the Patriot, it seemed unrealistic and over the top. But we are talking about Mel Gibson here, for what ever reason he seems to anti-England. Besides most people don't even watch it anymore. Honestly, this is the first time I heard of that film in years lol.
+You N'wah lol it is historical fiction for sure, he does seem to enjoy taking part in movies that demonise the British in some way, The Patriot, Braveheart and Pocahontas, I suppose he has his reasons
Really depends on who you ask. The revolution is known more by older people than young. Ask young people today what the revolution was and why it was fought and 2/3rds wouldn't be able to tell anything about it.
I said after we won the battle of Saratoga there was a guy by the name of Benjamin Franklin… Going on to talk about how he could use that to persuade other European nations to recognize the new nation
There was the awkward period of "quasi-war" during John Adams' administration, but that only lasted about 3 years. France's government was in different hands during that time.
+Scott Mote Thanks Scott! Kudos from teachers mean a heck of a lot to me. I hope your kids enjoy the resource, we have over 300 social studies videos! And thanks for your service to the profession.
May be there wwre few key reasons that contributed to the American victory. But I feel the convergence of many things coming together against the British was very crucial. However, it cannot be measured.
Just a minor critique (and maybe others have pointed this out already), but people are never "hung;" they are "hanged." Pictures, laundry, etc. can be "hung," but not people.
maybe but English has too many inconsistencies that trip people up - did you know that there's literally 25 ways to spell the OR sound? dinosaur law chore poor. Millions of people spending millions of hours learning all these unnecessary complexities when really we should just simplify the language
We could probably debate this for hours. I just don't like coupling the rebels with groups like the Taliban or even single acts like OKC. The rebels actions , screamed of freedom , the actions of the Taliban and t mcveigh , even Charlie hebdo stink of hatred . That said , I love your videos and I will be watching all of them - they will help me immensely with a history course I am taking. I thank you for making them.
Overall this is filled with a lot of good information. However, i have a big issue with referring to the sons of liberty as terrorists, particularly when looking at how terrorists are defined today. Sure, the rebels did commit violent acts .... but weren't the targets of such acts the british soldiers/government? Terrorists mostly attack innocent civilians in an attempt to create fear, and in doing so, they leave their message or beliefs behind ......
Terrorism is using violence to achieve a political end. The Sins of Albert also harassed and terrified fellow loyalist colonists. But no hate. It is what is. Certainly there are enormous differences. Context is king.
Well, prior to this presentation, my knowledge of the America Revolution was limited to a three minute School House Rock song played on television while watching Saturday morning cartoons; such a bad man that King. The topic of the American Revolution wasn't a topic that had been given any priorities up here in Canada. Canadian history classes covering this era started with the French and English Colonies developing simultaneously side by side and intertwined until the a really really big bar room brawl broke out named the Rebellion of Upper and Lower Canada. Then there was The Plains of Abraham, which we are still fighting socially and politically, the French/English divide has best been described as 'The Two Solitudes'. A couple of times knives have been drawn, but for the most part any physical aggression is left behind in these huge structures of cement, steel and glass with sheets of ice covering the floor. To this day and my favorite part of history class was the 1814 burning down of the White House. Anyway, I figure that an accountant leaked the financial numbers of charitable contributions the American colonies where pledging to the King and it was a high enough tally to figure away to start a war to control the booty; it's always about the money.
Shoutout to my ancestors the people of the Upstate of South Carolina who changed the outcome of the Revolution and won the battle of Cowpens, driving the British forces all the way back down to Charles Towne.
speak a bit slower cause you dont sound as if you finish a word sometimes its really frustrating cause i really would like to hear what you are trying to say
Patrick Holmes Democracy is a governed system ran by all the people not just a few. Liberty is a state of freedom among the people. The reason this came about was because colonists where tired of being un rightfully taxed and laws being determined by a country across the ocean that was more concerned about their needs vs the new land. The colonists felt that with them being over here and Britain being over there that it wasnt right for them to determine laws and tax the new land for Britains benefits. So it has to do with trade, manufacturing, property, and taxes being linked to what the colonists felt to be equal rights to those in Britain.
Instead of watching the American revolution from the side of the America's have a look into the British side of things and reasons the British wrote off this lost nation of malcontents. Why the British supposed and decided upon leaving them to their own fate whilst removing their own interests and refocusing them elsewhere. Why the British knew this country was no longer a viable seat of greatness it once showed the potential of being. How the British were indeed horrified how this nation could implode itself over financial consideration for free will and automic rule. One thing the British can is take a hint, the one thing British don't is bang their heads against a brick wall. America had become that brick wall. A wall that inevitably crumbles when it's foundations are removed. This takes centuries of course but will eventually fall. And the British were fed up patching it with mortar that was costing more and more to upkeep. Time to leave the wall to its own devices.. Lol
The American revolution...the beginning of the end. Without British sense and rule the country began its slow evolution towards damning its nation.. Damnation. Slowly this once great country would now become the colonys ruled by a class who made up the rules as they went along rather than continuing with rules proven over hundreds of years. The country is now nearing the inevitable end and once again looks towards its British for answers to problems it ladeled upon itself.. How things could have been different. What's that saying? You made your bed..... Now you..........
So simplified,
America: Stop taxing us.
Britain: No
America: K then I declare independence.
Britain: No I will fight.
America: Pew pew pew.
Britain: Pew pew pew pew.
France: K guys ima help America.
Britain: Okay I give you guys win.
Best comment.
Spicy Meme You literally saved my exam, i had 3 minutes on me to learn this, and you helped me. I owe you so much
This helped better than the video
YES so simplified!!
I love the comment so good!!!! :)\
whenever i need to start a topic i first refer your lectures ....very well focused and gripping
Keith, of all of your videos, in this you really sounded like you were having fun and truly enjoy the topic. I only wish I had had you as a history teacher when I was young. I would have enjoyed it much more! Kudos!
Stephen Furr Thanks Stephen, I always have fun making vids. Happy new year to you!
You make history and current events fun. Hopefully you will attract a new generation with this. I personally love history and am always interested in seeing it shown in a new and fun way. You are great sir. Keep it up.
Your videos are really helpful Keith! Thank you Very much

Keith I love using your videos to study for apush when I'm low on time thanks a lot!
Austin Hannah And with more content than a horse's head, I know that happens a lot in APUSH. Glad I could assist.
Your so informative sometimes I truly wonder if a lot of history teachers even know what their teaching. lol
I thoroughly enjoyed your video. It was certainly pithy, but I do believe it accomplished what it was meant to. I also appreciated the enthusiasm you appear to have for the subject matter. This did not seem the least bit arduous for you to discuss. I am certain I would enjoy a more thorough video or series of videos on our Revolution if you were to produce them. Very nicely done, sir!

You filled in where America the Story of Us left out.
America the Story of Us left out a lot.
I totally agree/ Left a ton out.
i am learning about this in my American history class and you helped me just skip most of the lesson because of your video
thank you alot
+Matthew Tarpley Seems like you helped yourself skip a lot of stuff by going off and learning on your own. You must be cray cray! Keep it up!
okkkkkkk
do you have anything on the creating of the constitution?
+Matthew Tarpley Only a video for each part. The Playlist is on my homepage
CreaTure Gaming same
Love the intro graphics
I think your lessons are better than the ones that I watched.
thanks to the dreaded virus i have to do this now
What learn about the berth of our country?
As always, another dope video! When are we going to do a collaboration? East coast & West Coast!
did anyone notice the E at 12:44
Thank u for the vid it was so helpful for my big test I got tomorrow on this
I always heard Hessian with e sound like pet. I don't if that's correct but it makes it harder to hear it as Hattian.
I definitely appreciated the talk about British parliamentary representation here, especially as I just watched the opening episode of Blackadder the Third. And Tom Richey’s episode on Chartism and rotten boroughs.
As well as the superb BBC series Rebels and Redcoats.
excellent job keith as always
My teacher shows your videos in class and assigns them as homework. I personally do not like history, but you seemed to make it energetic. I love how you put sound effects in it along with pictures not history related (Rainbow Dash) Also some point in your video there is an "e" in the middle of the screen.
I'm
Glad they don't put u to sleep. And the "e" is an Illuminati thing...... Be careful not to tell too many people.
+Keith Hughes (HipHughes) don't worry I won't! (But I think you just told the whole TH-cam world)
Bravo! This is fabulous.
Oh hi Drew Carry. I was here for my AP US history class, but I guess The Price is Right will do.
As a history major I don't understand how you can sit for 20+ minutes talking and remember everything.
he did not remember this all he looks down a lot he is reading the facts off of a piece of paper, but otherwise very interesting.
just some random gamer and lots of cuts
Trying to brush up on my history I appreciate the lesson. But it was hard to hear you with your mic and then all the special affects were pretty distracting. Good lesson tho just hard tostay focused.
You sticked to and stay together fix that
good video it helped me learn, you have 1 new sub
+Invisible Tyler5832 Each one counts! Thanks for joining the HHH familia!
+Keith Hughes (HipHughes) I don't have to watch this for school... I'm a history nerd.
Omg what happened to the captions? I need captions aaaaaaaa
Watching and re watching this while I do my flashcards for DE US history.
What's the song in the beginning?
awesome! I took notes on this so I could study thanks to u I made 100 !!!

did you see the subtitle thing in the background at 10:50
Very helpful. Good job.
Lexington and concord was April 19, 1775

Just kidding, can't wait to watch your next one!
Yeah I should of mentioned him in the Southern campaign along side General Dan Morgan!
Because he cost us Fort Washington in the Battle of New York! ROAR!

Thanks for that terrific exposition on Nathaniel Greene . . .
Great video. Thank you
23:38 if u need the discussion
Your videos are very helpful thank you very much
Can someone tell me what he says in 17:05? Please
I said after we won the battle of Saratoga there was a guy by the name of Benjamin Franklin… Going on to talk about how he could use that to persuade other European nations to recognize the new nation
13:45. Hip? It's Hessians, not Haitians.
that's what he said
Not to mention "Charleston" (which is also spelled exactly the way it sounds).
I had writes block for my paper until this video!!!! THANKS!!
Excellent stuff as always. Do you have any videos on US military actions in South America?
Why wont the caption works if u can please help with that
Your videos are the bomb.
+Adriana Noble BOOM! Thanks for the kudos. Carry on. Carry on.
I'm from the Caribbean and was completely lost about the US history but wow you nailed it.
So the French helped us win the Revolutionary war but if I'm not mistaken werent we enemies in a later world war? Sorry if I'm wrong im just confused
Nope, they have always been an ally.
There was the awkward period of "quasi-war" during John Adams' administration, but that only lasted about 3 years. France's government was in different hands during that time.
Where do you have the time to do this?
In the wee hours of the night.
+Kekkonen between minutes
I LIKE POTATOES ON MY SALAD!! KLO!LO!LO!LO!OL!LO!LO!OL!
Can you do a video about Paul Revere and Israel Bissell please?
not a bad idea........
So, aside from your opening comments, it appears that this is really more of a breakdown of the Revolutionary War, not the American Revolution...
love your videos but i couldn't finish this one. too many boops and beeps, which are much louder than your voice.
Loved the video! I am a teacher and my Advanced history class gives you "thumbs up!"
+Scott Mote Thanks Scott! Kudos from teachers mean a heck of a lot to me. I hope your kids enjoy the resource, we have over 300 social studies videos! And thanks for your service to the profession.

@@alwaysdisputin9930 Oh I've just had LOADS of fun over the years explaining the inconsistencies, etc. of the English language to my native Thai wife.
Idk why but Benedict Arnold was the most interesting part to me out of all this lmao. Didn't know any of that and was like wow.
We could probably debate this for hours. I just don't like coupling the rebels with groups like the Taliban or even single acts like OKC. The rebels actions , screamed of freedom , the actions of the Taliban and t mcveigh , even Charlie hebdo stink of hatred .
That said , I love your videos and I will be watching all of them - they will help me immensely with a history course I am taking. I thank you for making them.
Assassin's Creed and My Little Pony (19:54), two of my many favorite things.
Emily Gallant I'm gonna stop you right there
same i saw rainbowdash and fiiped tf out
You and my history teacher would get along irl XD
And Burgoyne is pronounced, "Burgoyne" (just like it is written).
thanks

The internet Cray Cray approves... Thanks!
Taut, crisp, and easy to follow. I'm going to watch your War of 1812 video next.
im watching dis for humanities
anyone else thinking of ACIII the whole video?
Me!!
When I try to look at the transcript it just says something about go follow Logan Paul and Jake Paul
was the American Revolution caused more by British ineptitude and mismanagement of the empire than by the colonial desire for independence?
Honestly, it was a mix of both.
Well, prior to this presentation, my knowledge of the America Revolution was limited to a three minute School House Rock song played on television while watching Saturday morning cartoons; such a bad man that King. The topic of the American Revolution wasn't a topic that had been given any priorities up here in Canada. Canadian history classes covering this era started with the French and English Colonies developing simultaneously side by side and intertwined until the a really really big bar room brawl broke out named the Rebellion of Upper and Lower Canada. Then there was The Plains of Abraham, which we are still fighting socially and politically, the French/English divide has best been described as 'The Two Solitudes'. A couple of times knives have been drawn, but for the most part any physical aggression is left behind in these huge structures of cement, steel and glass with sheets of ice covering the floor. To this day and my favorite part of history class was the 1814 burning down of the White House. Anyway, I figure that an accountant leaked the financial numbers of charitable contributions the American colonies where pledging to the King and it was a high enough tally to figure away to start a war to control the booty; it's always about the money.
Without French intervention things may have turn out differently.
those meddlers!
Shoutout to my ancestors the people of the Upstate of South Carolina who changed the outcome of the Revolution and won the battle of Cowpens, driving the British forces all the way back down to Charles Towne.
Really wish I could watch this video but your volume is extremely too low and I miss alot of what you're saying lol
Who else is here watching this for school?
me
What is with 12:54
CharleSton.
nice
Hola wes de clase de sociales
hola we
speak a bit slower cause you dont sound as if you finish a word sometimes its really frustrating cause i really would like to hear what you are trying to say
Ur so smart
Gotta love that *I SPY* music . . .
Also... July 4th, 1776. Best year in history. Enough said.
You absolutely butchered the pronunciation of Burgoyne... But the rest of this is a pretty excellent overview, so I won't hold that against you.
nice hair
American revolution
So in short it was all about trade, manufacturing, property and taxes. No nonsense about democracy and liberty.
Patrick Holmes Democracy is a governed system ran by all the people not just a few. Liberty is a state of freedom among the people. The reason this came about was because colonists where tired of being un rightfully taxed and laws being determined by a country across the ocean that was more concerned about their needs vs the new land.
