That's a lot of history crammed into three minutes. These little animated shorts were always so cute. I always liked watching them when I was little. To bad they still don't make them. It would be so much easier to learn history this way.
arizonatsunami they left out alot of the blood, and the part where George Washington could have become king, but he said no man should have that much power, so he only ruled for 4 years.
I was shown this is civics class lol! I love the school house rock stuff, I did not live then but I like the older stuff! This video is rly catchy lol i love it!
F**K F**K F**K!!!! I'M DROWNING IN TEARS OF NOSTALGIA!!!! Seriously, all these songs make me wanna cry now. Why couldn't it have been this simple? WHYYYYYYYY!?!?!?
Guys its a song about history for kids. Lets all calm down. Obviously they aren't going to mention the native americans being forced from their home because their audience at the time was what, 3rd graders? 4th graders at most? I remember watching these in elementary school and singing along and learning it, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have been as popular as they were if all they sang about was people killing other people. Lets all calm down for a bit and just remember that its a fun song for children.
"government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force and like fire a terrible servant and a merciless master." Pres. George Washington we need to bring this and all the school house rock back so our kids have a real idea about what it means to be an american.
Lucain50 he was not aginst the government he simple did not trust the government because it was going to be run by men. he knew that nothing created by man can be perfect becausse man is not perfect. greed ambition and the quest for power would and always does drive men to become corrupt. all of the founders knew this and that was why they had such a hard time figuring out what would be our constitution. the idea was to limit the power and influence of the federal government so that it could not become oppressive. even the federalists, like Madison, knew this to be true. the anti federalists only wanted to make the federal government that much weaker in its dealings with we the people. maybe you should read both the federalist and anti federalist papers.
Thanks to School House Rock, I was able to impress my very annoying Social Studies class. He was complaining about how no one knew the preamble by heart, and I raised my hand and recited the entire thing. Thanks School House Rock! You've helped me so much~!
You poor thing. School systems fail a lot of people in teaching (including me)that is why I'm homeschooling my kids now and we are watching school house rock to help.
Amazing how many people comment on how this is so simple. Well, its geared for an 8 year old and the basic principles of how the country was founded is sound. The music adds a jingle to remember. Commercials have been doing it for years, obviously it works very well. Whenever I try to remember what an adjective is I can always remember these jingles but could never remember what they said in the classroom.
All these songs sugar coat it, it. Like the Great American melting pot. Africans didn't migrate, they were taken and sold against their will. And if you don't know what an adjective is, I honestly have only one thing I CAN say... get special need classes.
Great song for kids. Find it funny the parts they leave out though. Like the pilgrims lived in Holland for 12 years before deciding to go be English in the new world.
This song really impressed me as a child and made me feel my country was actually special. As an adult...oh how I've come to see this as a great lie!!! I long for the innocence of youth!
+Bob Silver It's called Elections. Founding Fathers built peaceful Revolution into the System and trusted the American People to abide by their results. In 1791, just two years after the Constitutional Convention which drew up America's Founding Documents, some Pennsylvanian farmers decided they didn't have to pay the Tax on Whiskey. They fomented Revolt, called George Washington a traitor, and conspired to overthrow the duly Elected Government in Washington (actually NYC since D.C. was under construction) President George Washington raised an Army and made them comply with Federal Taxes. The Democrat Thomas Jefferson felt that the Federalist Hamilton had gone to far by using U.S. troops against it's own citizens and repealed the tax when he became the Second U.S. President and first Democratic President of America, but the Federal Government still has the power to levy Taxes by votes from the House of Representatives and Senate. So America has Taxation WITH Representation. Something King George would not allow.
Wooooot!!! Let's get back there, America! Any man who has to utter the words, "I am not a dictator, I am the president" is not worthy of the office of president. The statement reveals a desire to be a dictator. And "We the People" have been there and done that!
From the point of view of the American bourgeoisie this is all correct. And, in truth they were expected to behave as English citizens, but weren't given the representation, or the voice in Parlament that was the greatest "blessing" of English citizenship..To be fair it was the 18th century and Britain was 5000 miles away, but the forces of history are merciless..If George had listened to English liberals like Horace Walpole the whole thing could have been avoided. In any case I like the song! Shoolhouse Rock was produced in the mid 70's , so the history lessons, are focused mostly on Independence - the Bicentennial in 1976
evan bernardi im a big fan of urs great work in making the videos im also a big fan of creepypasta pokemons i loved the easter egg snow on mt silver movie palmar kelly is beautiful plz do more pokemon creepypasta do strangled red cause thats my fav one :3
They're trying to keep it simple for elementary schoolers. Ironically the reason for the sudden taxes was because parliament was putting pressure on the king to recoup the money Britain had spend fighting the French and natives in the colonies. Previously the British didn't care too much about what we did and even allowed us to have our own elected officials.
The term genocide implies intent. If you are referring to the lack of immunity to European diseases, that was no more genocidal than the black plague was of Asians on Europeans. If you are referring to the institutional oppression of Native Americans, that was an Andrew Jackson era construct.
Barb Parknavy Surely Andrew Jackson isn't the reason mankind throughout history has tended to seek (often ruthless/occasionally genocidal) domination over all militarily weaker foreign cultures it encounters upon the face of the Earth. I also don't believe Andrew Jackson held exclusive patent on the genocide of Native Americans.
The King's taxes were a few pennies, and now look how much our own government taxes us. Property, sales, embedded, earnings, health care... just about anything and everything has a tax on it.
All that may be, but still, about more taxes now, that's because the government is trillions of dollars in a debt that existed since the end of the revolution. Britain wasn't nearly that far in the hole.
But that's cause of both inflation and the fact that we now have a lot more stuff in the nation. We're more developed and more connected, and that costs more. You know, there was once a time when $100 could buy property as well... And lets not forget that we now have more money and higher standards of living. Heck, minus the servants, our standard of life in the Western world is actually better that the king's back in the day. Great food, easy baths, comfortable furniture, easy access entertainment and comfort, better medication, good education easy access transportation....
i think it's important to remember that here, we have taxation WITH representation. We get to vote and decide for the issues we want. Back then, the Americans paid taxes, just like they should've, but they were treated as lesser by the British. They were basically expected to do the work of an Englishman but felt that they deserved all the rights of an Englishman as well
The colonies weren't necessarily mad about the taxes on their own they were mad about the fact that they were being taxed and didn't have any representation in the Parliament that was levying taxes on them and other things like the Townshend act, the stamp act, & the intolerable acts
If only this were true today. Our forefathers had the plan correct. Let the people vote for things. Do you really think we get to vote for our laws nowadays? The lobby runs this government. Representative democracy, ha!
Actually the majority of our founding fathers were actually against letting the general public vote, and when they made the constitution the only thing the people voted for was the house of representatives.
How Is Representative Democracy Defined? Simply put, a representative democracy is a system of government in which all eligible citizens vote on representatives to pass laws for them. A perfect example is the U.S., where we elect a president and members of the Congress. We also elect local and state officials. All of these elected officials supposedly listen to the populace and do what's best for the nation, state or jurisdiction as a whole. Sort of the same thing. Your definition has become popular as of late. Mine was being used quite often 20 years ago.
kittychan 101 well reference means whennyou say oh in this it says so im gojng to put it in this song or something like that not this song is similar to the stuff in Hamilton
I grew up on Schoolhouse Rock but this episode made me question the information I was receiving. Living on Cape Cod everybody here knows the Pilgrims landed on Provincetown sands first then moved on to Plymouth. But otherwise Schoolhouse Rock, Rocked! Do to growing up on shows like that and the Electric Company ( Love you Mr. Freeman) I don't have the Cape Cod or Massachusetts accent. Lol!
I am a Patriotic American and I love my country. I come to you today to enlighten you to an atrocity. Most Americans don't realize our country has been turned into a corporate entity instead of a Republic. We no longer live by the U.S. Constitution of 1776 which this country was based upon by our forefathers. The District of Columbia Act of 1871 turned our country into a corporation. Until we restore the Republic, voting who runs this corporation won't make much difference.
Yaxation with out reputation is when the Corperate tea-bagging asshole welthy misers buy off Congress and get their tax cuts while the people get pissed on by the tea-bggers, NO MORE TEA-BAGGERS!!!!!!!!!!
May I just say something? (I am an American.) England had very high taxes, and they were broke from fighting in a war to *protect* the colonies. After that, the colonies refuse to pay their taxes-which I mind you were very low-, and started a rebellion. Even worse, Ben Franklin was basicly the colonies' spokesperson, and he claimed the colonies were happy. And then what happens? Boom! Revolution. So, think about that next time you learn about the war. Britain wasn't exactly the Villain that we made it out to be.
Franklin was choosing his battles. He knew that at the time that the colonies didn't have what it took to be independent or to fight a major revolution. A little while later, that changed.
I don't want to start some whole big debate, but actually no England did not. They were poor, from a war with the FRENCH over territories in Europe, not in the Americas. The war you speak of had very little to do with the Colonies. You are correct in that the Colonies did refuse to pay taxes, mainly because England hitched the Colonies taxes way above normal and LOWERED its own taxes on the citizens of the mainland of England. As well, the main breaking point of the Boston Tea Party was not taxed for the benefit of England. They taxed the Colonies to get money back into the East India Company so it wouldn't go out of business, which again has nothing to do with the Colonies as they got most of their tea from the Dutch. So while the war did impact England, they chose to push most of the burden onto the Colonists instead of actually doing something about it themselves.
King George III was a fair king.. the colonists felt that they didn't have to pay dues because the claim their loyalty and everything is supposed to be handed to them.. they became lazy(hence the start of slavery in this country), disrespectful, and untrustworthy(ask the native Americans).
Dwayne and the two other historically ignorant folks who support this ridiculous comment, allow me the privilege of giving you all a real history lesson. 1; slavery was legal THROUGH OUT THE BRITISH EMPIRE FOR OVER 200 YEARS PRIOR TO THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. 2; taxation without representation was only 1 of 26 abuses Jefferson listed in the Declaration of independence, some of the others, British soldiers having the right to write their own search warrants, British soldiers being allowed to kill colonists without due process, British officials being able to imprison colonists without due process, British officials taking over homes of colonists to house their troops and mercenaries without compensation. 3 and this more than anything, if you were lazy in the 18th century and didn't work as you claim, you didn't eat. they did not allow for leaches to suck off the system while others went to work. in summation you need to go back to what ever school you graduated from and demand a refund, cause you got screwed on your education. especially in terms of real not revisionist history.
You act all smart. Yet fail to relize this person was making reffrence to fact how many Native Americans where killed by colonists. And here is fact that history books won't tell you Native Americans who weren't killed where raped. Oral history far more truthful then books.
atradition something our left leaning government has also done in recent years. good point and thanks for bringing that to the conversation. well done!
abntemplar82 Thanks; research if you have not the Federal Reserve Act--passed December 23, 1913--for mind changing insight into how debt(slavery) is created by the private banking system for the citizen and their government.
I love my country.. Proud to be a Native American.

The funniest part of this is at 2:35..."We're gonna elect a president/He's gonna do what the people want." Hahaha...that's hilarious!!

Yeah, they do well Barok obama did. :/
Well he does what the poeple who elect him want

That's a lot of history crammed into three minutes. These little animated shorts were always so cute. I always liked watching them when I was little. To bad they still don't make them. It would be so much easier to learn history this way.
No doubt! A 3 minute cartoon on what took 167 years to play out.
Well, you've got the modern solutions, e.g. Hamilton, history of the world i guess, etc.
OMG, I haven't seen this or heard this song in ages. Brings back a lot of memories growing up in New Orleans watching this every Saturday morning.
that guy must be strong if he can throw a bucket across the atlantic ocean o_0
Lol
Get them gains
The man who sung in most of these Schoolhouse Rock videos died on 4--23-2018. I'm 57 yrs old now & I grew up watching these in the 70's
14 years ago and im listening to this fire like godamn
And thats EXACTLY how it happened, kids!
BARELY
Has to be watered down for kids, I think.
arizonatsunami they left out alot of the blood, and the part where George Washington could have become king, but he said no man should have that much power, so he only ruled for 4 years.

"government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force and like fire a terrible servant and a merciless master." Pres. George Washington

Holy crap, it's been years since I've seen this.

Thanks School House Rock! You've helped me so much~!
I SPENT 17 YEARS IN HISTORY CLASSES TO LEARN WHAT SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK TOLD ME IN THREE MINUTES?
Right?!?!

A wanna be king. But he will never slither his way back into power.. Not if actual Americans have anything to say about it.
I love this song we use to watch it all the time when we did not have cable
LATELY....The United States presidents do as they please....not what we the people want! Maybe we need a new revolution!

+Bob Silver It's called Elections. Founding Fathers built peaceful Revolution into the System and trusted the American People to abide by their results.

King George III in schoolhouse rock: Really creepy

I wonder if the change is intentional…..
when I was in first and second grade we listened to these songs every Tuesday and Friday

Lol! XD
Ikr lol XD
LOL 😂
Wooooot!!! Let's get back there, America! Any man who has to utter the words, "I am not a dictator, I am the president" is not worthy of the office of president. The statement reveals a desire to be a dictator. And "We the People" have been there and done that!

This makes me extremely patriotic for the U.S.A.
ikr lol
Cheiftain 19 yeah, USA,USA
That's what it's supposed to do, cause it's straight up propaganda...
xereeto if it's propaganda then why does it proclaim the british as the bad guy? the brits have been our ally ever since WW1

You'll be back, soon you'll see. you'll remember you belong to me!
high five to all my theater geeks out there if you get it
I looked up "Schoolhouse Rock Hamilton"
That's how I got here.
The most powerful words in this entire song, IMHO, would be, "They knew the time had come for them to take command."
I thout that he was The king of fishlips
I loved these as a kid! :)
Man its like political cartoons that are fun

Wow this brings back memories my 5th grade teacher used to play this song
I saw this in class

so wonderfully written
The thing I love about this is how the chorus changes to show how annoyed they get.
Also how it foreshadows what happens in the first chorus.
hm... this George III looks nothing like Jonathan Groff /:
that George Washington looks NOTHING like Christopher Jackson

THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD I USED TO HAVE A SCHOOL HOUSE ROCK GAME ON MY LEAPSTER AND THIS WAS ONE OF THE SONGS IN IT
and the revolutionary war
Learn something new everyday. They need to rerun these for the kids of today.
How come it says nothing about France and Spain if it was't for them we would of lost
Watch the shot heard around the world
Ok thanks for letting me know there was a shot around the world video
True KingEthan bruh pink redcoats really king looks like a joker
erik poop that song has a lot flaws

Ironically the reason for the sudden taxes was because parliament was putting pressure on the king to recoup the money Britain had spend fighting the French and natives in the colonies. Previously the British didn't care too much about what we did and even allowed us to have our own elected officials.
There are interesting things I learned from this that I didn't realize, like just how close New England is to England. It seems so far on the map.
is it just me or is it weird they never mentioned the genocide of native Americans?
Just you.
The term genocide implies intent. If you are referring to the lack of immunity to European diseases, that was no more genocidal than the black plague was of Asians on Europeans. If you are referring to the institutional oppression of Native Americans, that was an Andrew Jackson era construct.

I also don't believe Andrew Jackson held exclusive patent on the genocide of Native Americans.
Except for one thing
This is an animation made for children.
Do you really want kids to learn about genocide?

I learned a lot from these cartoons back in the day
1773: 3% tax
America: *Boston Tea Party*
2023: 37% tax
America: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ OK.
The colonies weren't necessarily mad about the taxes on their own they were mad about the fact that they were being taxed and didn't have any representation in the Parliament that was levying taxes on them and other things like the Townshend act, the stamp act, & the intolerable acts

Oh crap..... sorry thanks for correcting me
no problem

But otherwise Schoolhouse Rock, Rocked! Do to growing up on shows like that and the Electric Company ( Love you Mr. Freeman)

I can think of someone who needs to first be shown this video and then shown the door.

If you watched more schoolhouse rock, you might actually understand the concept of grammar and sentence structure, which you're obviously lacking.

"No Taxation Without Representation!"
Man these people where the first savages lol XD all the stuff they did
I'm learning about the Boston tea party its really good
May I just say something? (I am an American.) England had very high taxes, and they were broke from fighting in a war to *protect* the colonies. After that, the colonies refuse to pay their taxes-which I mind you were very low-, and started a rebellion. Even worse, Ben Franklin was basicly the colonies' spokesperson, and he claimed the colonies were happy. And then what happens? Boom! Revolution. So, think about that next time you learn about the war. Britain wasn't exactly the Villain that we made it out to be.
Franklin was choosing his battles. He knew that at the time that the colonies didn't have what it took to be independent or to fight a major revolution. A little while later, that changed.
taxation without representation was the problem, not the taxes themselves.
I don't want to start some whole big debate, but actually no England did not. They were poor, from a war with the FRENCH over territories in Europe, not in the Americas. The war you speak of had very little to do with the Colonies. You are correct in that the Colonies did refuse to pay taxes, mainly because England hitched the Colonies taxes way above normal and LOWERED its own taxes on the citizens of the mainland of England. As well, the main breaking point of the Boston Tea Party was not taxed for the benefit of England. They taxed the Colonies to get money back into the East India Company so it wouldn't go out of business, which again has nothing to do with the Colonies as they got most of their tea from the Dutch. So while the war did impact England, they chose to push most of the burden onto the Colonists instead of actually doing something about it themselves.
tylergirl1970 Exactly. The Colonists tried to be reasonable, but King George *wouldn't listen* to their complaints. That's where the problem lies.
GabrielsSwordVideos I guess that whole "French and Indian War" didn't happen if the fighting was ll in Europe.
This was my education. Even in high school the social studies teachers played this for us.
Rip Native Americans
+r2c123 Now, the U.S. is doing the same to the Arabs
+r2c123 Rockin' and a rollin' Swishin' and a swashin' over the horizon what the fuck could it be? Looks like it's going to be a fucked up country.
Which "Native Americans" do you mean? Do you mean the ones formerly called "American Indians", or do you mean the others who came before them?
chuggachuggawoowoo Native Americans imply the people during when white settlers went to North America.
+chuggachuggawoowoo I think the proper PC term these days is "First People".
Schoolhouse Rock! was how I become smart. How about you?

@@evanwatling3897 Whats makes you think for second that person is lazy and doesnt want to work ?
From the depths of hell i here a faint call of childhood
we all saw this in class admit it
Yeah
I remember My 4th Grade History teacher showed this to me in 2011 - 2012.
:)
King George III was a fair king.. the colonists felt that they didn't have to pay dues because the claim their loyalty and everything is supposed to be handed to them.. they became lazy(hence the start of slavery in this country), disrespectful, and untrustworthy(ask the native Americans).
Dwayne and the two other historically ignorant folks who support this ridiculous comment, allow me the privilege of giving you all a real history lesson.
1; slavery was legal THROUGH OUT THE BRITISH EMPIRE FOR OVER 200 YEARS PRIOR TO THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. 2; taxation without representation was only 1 of 26 abuses Jefferson listed in the Declaration of independence, some of the others, British soldiers having the right to write their own search warrants, British soldiers being allowed to kill colonists without due process, British officials being able to imprison colonists without due process, British officials taking over homes of colonists to house their troops and mercenaries without compensation.
3 and this more than anything, if you were lazy in the 18th century and didn't work as you claim, you didn't eat. they did not allow for leaches to suck off the system while others went to work.
in summation you need to go back to what ever school you graduated from and demand a refund, cause you got screwed on your education. especially in terms of real not revisionist history.
You act all smart. Yet fail to relize this person was making reffrence to fact how many Native Americans where killed by colonists. And here is fact that history books won't tell you Native Americans who weren't killed where raped. Oral history far more truthful then books.
abntemplar82 And do not forget the Currency Act of 1764, which forbade the colonist from issuing their own bill of credit-money.
atradition
something our left leaning government has also done in recent years. good point and thanks for bringing that to the conversation. well done!

Thanks; research if you have not the Federal Reserve Act--passed December 23, 1913--for mind changing insight into how debt(slavery) is created by the private banking system for the citizen and their government.
