downvoted, my money is made from plastic. no really. the canadian dollar is plastic now. its see through.
Empror Tigerstar, did you read the Warriors books?
I did a term paper on the Free Soil Party in High School.
The Free Soil Party was cool before the Greenback Party was cool. #justsaying
Mr. Beat, Obviously, the right answer is always “NO TARIFFS”. *Period*
that's not how you use #hastags
Soil is laid before the green grows.

Peter Cooper's beard will haunt my dreams forever.
This Weaver guy looks like a combination of Ulysses Grant and Rutherford Hayes.
So that's who he reminded me of
Yep yep he does
Love child?
I was just about to say that
He's Ulysses BS Hayes
“Greenback” sounds like what you’d call Jeb Bush Supporters. Backs just full of that sweet sweet guac.
Jeb! Bush
Pls clap
4:58 to be honest, some of those ideas are still kinda radical today, most of the people I know work longer than 8 hours a day with overtime and other jobs. Depending on the person they are doing just to support themselves, or they trying to get money for college, a few of them can’t just spend most of their time working because they can’t find anything better to do with their time.
Yeah. it's kinda sad that REAL radicals are seen as completely unthinkable. *cough cough* Anarchists *cough cough*
I guess
Next video idea: How Green is the Greenback Party?
It's so green, the Green Party got jealous.
Very little co2 emissions in they're meeting
I never knew the Great Depression was a remake.
There always has to be a sequel.
5:50, that is actually partly the strategy of today's democratic socialists, they may not win the elections, but their opponents must adopt a lot of their ideas and policies in order to win, so in the end they acheive at least part of their goal.
Actually it's also the strategy of far-right and nationalist parties which are more sucessfull and influent in the West (for example a lot of european conservative parties like the ÖVP, the CSU or the French Republicans have take a big part of their ideas in order to resist to their success.).
@@wal7599 It is literally the platform to every party. It's weird :P
@@projeftcancelled9555 Not really, generally classical left and right parties (social-democrats and christian-domacrats in Europe or liberals and conservatives in America) aren't very attract to this strategy and are also not very interested by ideologies (because they usually win). However it's also their first weakness : they tend to be easily inflenced by centrist paries (liberals in the European definition) or by democratic-socialist/nationalist parties if these forces are becoming stronger
@@wal7599 That might be subjective though I'd suggest that Reagan and Thatcher caused shifting in traditional conservatism which probably contributed to bankrupting the Soviet Union since the US in the 80s certainly appeared despite stagflation as the more solvent Nation. Of course funding growth by deficit is textbook Keynesian economics and requires tax revenue surplus in growth times, which obviously is a suggestion heterodox economists on the right would dispute, a business cycle is apparently cycling unchained to a government's budget.
Anyways. In countries that during the 80s/90s were governed by more traditional conservatives, namely Germany were politicians not reforming accordingly or busy doing reunification, either way the political cycle shifted. And row of _third way_ social Democrats center left politicians we're swept into power in the late 90s early 2000s because structural unemployment hit a social welfare system that was thus far not in the retraining, education business but merely a temporary in-between jobs safety structure. The reform there of absolutely destroyed center left parties reputation i.e. labour and even more extreme the once major SPD in Germany that never recovered from that blow and in France Macron is essentially doing the what Holland and Sarkozy ultimately never went through with, although it's somewhat irritating that no one seemed to have read the tax reform proposal in full. Now political parties in France come and go.
In Britain the first-pass-the-vote system which is essentially is a two party per constituent system however forces some of those back to labour as sole alternative.
In Countries with proportional representation i.e. multiparty systems did pre-80s conservative economics i.e. austerity politicians prevail - which IMHO doesn't apply to Tories because without taxation to balance budget you can't claim austerity that is just cutting spending ignoring the revenue side essentialy supply side economics which largely took hold in _(european) liberal parties🔶_ or _populist right parties._ In two party systems i.e. UK and US it became mainstream conservative doctrine however.
Result; there is huge rift between constituent only based systems and proportional representative systems.
• The later have in comparison relatively low growth but also less budget issues.
• And in two party systems supply side economic "conservatives" developed a government cycle I'd call governing by forced circumstance in opposition. In power their deficits are generally widening which is largely ignored because it's accelerating the economic expansion. In opposition however they know during recession tax enforcement would be suicidal. Cut out recension peaks and Democrats did indeed add to the debt but they consistently decreased budget deficits. Republicans? not so much. Why Democrats refuse to use this argument though is beyond me (merely while it doesn't fit the socialist democrat theme?). www.crfb.org/blogs/our-top-fiscal-charts-2018
So adapting popular reform agenda points these days is far less important the real deal is *timing unpopular reforms on the opposition's clock.* Sneaky but unhealthy for democracy.

Their party was a failure but some of their ideas were successful
A party is just there to get certain ideas made into law. They achieved this so the party was a success. Having a party just cause is not success.
Yep
6:24 Teddy Roosevelt was not elected for president, But for governor. The only reason that he became president is because his popular reforms in new York angered political bosses. The republican boss of Ohio, a swing state which gave them massive power, and eventually of the whole republican party, Mark Hanna, elected him as VP, hoping that as VP, people will forget about him. This backfired as McKenny (the president) was assassinated, and when the progressive Teddy Roosevelt came into power, Hanna replied " That Dam*ed cowboy is the president of the united states!" as his progressiveness threated their corrupt power.

Mr. Krabs would have joined the Green Back Party
Maine has a long love affair with third party candidates. It continues today. We have an independent in the Senate and our current governor closely beat out a third party candidate while leaving the Democrat in the dust.
Like Ralph Chapman the green rep for Maine's 113rd district and Henry John Bear whose running for Maine's second district and Senator and former governor Angus King
Mathieu Leader angus king is a democract is everything but name
I'm just stating facts @@joshkusiak7613
Lisa Savage is running for Senate as a Green in the first ever ranked choice voting Maine senate election!
Nice to see that you and Mr. Beat teamed up for some good Third Party history! Good to see knowledge and history as a team effort.
For those wanting the link to my video: th-cam.com/video/he_DampwkCA/w-d-xo.html
EmperorTigerstar is such a slacker. 😀
But seriously, thanks for collaborating with me!
Of course my home State main had a greenback governor.
Send help Maine strange.
Mr. Beat and EmperorTigerstar! What a duo!
The Great Depression began only two months before the 1920s ended, so it was more during the 1930s than the 1920s.
Do about the history of the KKK please
They're not communist or antifa they're literally racist conservative terrorists.
@Daniel Tsiprun
There's people who literally believe that though.
Kool Kids Klan
Good. But there are people who legit think that though so it's hard to tell, lol.
Antifa is mostly unorganized. Some are idealist teenagers, others are violent mobsters. It depends who you're talking about. They're certainly not the giant threat on democracy people act like they are because they're not a strong organization. I certainly support anything that stops fascism, but I prefer nonviolence whenever possible.
Really like this!
In the UK the notes still say "i promise to pay the bearer the sum of £x"
Glad to see that Vorheese kid is backing your videos and finally stopped, you know, wanton machete murder sprees.
So the Grangers were basically Anarcho-syndicalists?
Yes please
Where's Reed when we need him?
@ger du Sounds.... Lovely
What is Kaiserreich for 300 hundred plz?
The Grangers wanted to control the monopolies and support framers, as the price of wheat fell during the technological advancements that let them produce more wheat. they advocated free silver, where you could trade dollars for silver, increasing the money supply, letting framers pay off their debts faster. They also advocated the Grangers laws (For restricting the railroad monopolies that ripped them off on shipping that they depended on), but the courts declared them unconstitutional, so they effectively did nothing. The Grangers lost unity and fell apart, and was replaced by other unions. The Framers supported the populist party during the elections, which there beliefs were stated at the Omaha platform, So I would consider them Progressive, not Anarchist.
do artillery only
I WANT MY 3 BILLION U.S. GREENBACKS NOW ! DAMN YOU !
For next video, can you talk about the National Democratic Party? (aka the Bourbon Democrats) or the Democratic-Republican Party?
Love these subjects. I get to learn the things i was supposed to learn back in the 80's in school. 😎
Really interesting, stories of small us political parties are really interesting, btw I liked this vid m8.
0:52 damn that’s one bushy beard
Warhead_732 ikr?
Wow greenbacks. What i guess tiger can turn this to Cody for a alternate history of if the greenbacks won and took over.
James Weaver looks like he could be an 1870’s President
Notably the late 19thC most famous and influential reformer, Henry George was also a Greenbacker.
can you make a video about Indo-Aryan peoples migration? Thanks))
forgot the part where the banks wanted to control the economy .. and how great greenbacks really were, the depression you mention was bank caused, the demonitization of silver
Kaiserreich's lore of ww1 when?
Does The world needs this idea again?
The country has never been just Democrat and Republican. There's always been multiple political parties.
Why Is everyone confusing Democratic socialism with social democracy??? They are not the same thing
“I don’t give a da-n about the Greenback Party....”
I was agreeing Geeze. SARCASM
I always liked Salmon P. Chase. Not because of his policies or anything, but come on, a man named after a fish??
You know that the $1 is a silver certificate.
Kinda explains why third parties don't do very well nowadays
You said gold was tight during the war for obvious reasons. However, which war were you talking about? And are the obvious reasons? How are we suppose to know what the obvious reasons are if you don't tell us? What are they?
I have an old $1 silver certificate
And now they are cutting cash out and they are successful
Emperoror Tigerstar, the last Vidio that you do was at 6 days ago and know, in my Birth day you do an other Vidio.
Excellent video and great narration. Well done 👍
Happy 21st of September!

Will you ever do a video on the Socialist/Socialist Labor Party? They're also a presence during this period, though they are more urban and industrial as opposed to the Populist's agrarian bent.
(I know a lot about late 19th and early 20th century leftism)
Andres wasn’t the socialist Labor Party basically a cult for that guy that believe the British royal family were a drug cartel?
Us Aussies use superior Polymer banknotes that we invented :P
I think the Canadians also have a similar thing where the $5 bill is a clear polymer, possibly with a reflection of a maple leaf inside.
Yes the Canadians licence the process off the Australians for their notes as well, the UK is also transitioning and we are updating to better polymer ones
Peter Cooper: What a neckbeard.
Any BOOK SUGGESTIONS 😅
Do you know paint . net?
This video has some strange subtitles.
The Gold Standard ended in 1971. What backs currency now? Nothing. Fiat Currency. Its probably the sole reason why we didn't get another great depressing following the 2008 finical crisis.
This "documentary", could not be any more inaccurate if it TRIED!!!
No wonder Chase was on the 10,000$ bill...
A
My book says cooper got 93,895 of the popular vote. Still 1% 😂
In Britain we have plastic money, well just for £5 and £10
What ever happened to the podcast?
Dude, you sound like Peter Parker from that new Spiderverse movie thing
Greenbacks is the term for money?!
All this time I thought is was Greenbags!(as in bags of money)
And then, the two parties flip flop yet... AGAIN
Please do a video on the socialist party of America.
Sexy beardo
What about Benjamin Franklin Butler?
Am I the _only one_ to notice the "Back to the Future" reference at 5:44? 🎸🎶
Do a timeline of the not backed currencies!
Salmon Chase also got on the $10,000 bill.
Anyone noticed the back to the future reference.
🤔
Learned something new today.
Is the Russian Khan video still happening?
Thought this was like some knockoff of the green party but this works too
next do a vid on the silver legion
AUD$ plastic note gang
Whyd you delete your album?
Where's Sternberg?
I hope this series on third party continues
That's an epic beard at 0:51
Or plastic.
Green wave?
:)
Here is a good topic for a video: Will EmperorTigerstar ever do a face reveal?
I miss whigs :(
They still exist.
:)
If you interested dude, please keep doing history of parties like this
THiRD
I was third:(
Sorry bro
Me as a European: *MEH*
Why am I not surprised by that response
@ger du A comment full of wisdom
@ger du
I think you don't have a brain.
Why would you want money worth nothing? Should have kept the gold standard.
I wanna vote Greenback!
Fourteenth
We need the Gold Stanard, Ya don't hold it ,Ya don't own it. Freedom Liberty!
Randy Herbrechtsmeier Gold standards are tricky though because they depend entirely on how much gold we have. So if you’re a country with no gold then you’re fucked.
Well said. Is that why people left USSR? Venezuela the land of Opportunity !
Gold standard is not going to eliminate poverty and homelessness. Stop this nonsense
