My grandparents lived on San Juan Island, so every summer we'd visit on vacation. My grandma was obsessed with The Pig War, so much so that she built a building and created a Pig War Museum. She had old mannequins and wax figures dressed up as the primary people. When we'd visit she have us dress up as some of the characters. We have a picture of my younger sister dressed up as the pig and my dad as Lyman. I always thought she was crazy. At the time I only knew the pig shooting parts of story. She never went into the insane amount of politics that surrounded the incident. Thanks for helping me revisit my childhood.
You thought she was crazy yet only knew the pig shooting part of the story? Time we learned the whole truth. Did Lyman chase down the pig and shoot it despite offering him 3 wishes or was the pig a 20th century gangster that died on a dare? :D Both answers are acceptable, either answer is too but it has to be at least one of the two.
What I love about this dude is how he has no schedule. You don’t know what day, week, or month he is posting. Yet, every time he does post, your day is automatically great.

There has been some dispute around that remaining 17.5%, there's actually a really interesting article about whether or not it even exists. But all things being equal, yeah 82.5%
After all these years, I still find Oversimplified the most consistently quality channel on the whole TH-cam. Please, never stop, even if it takes half year to make a new video!
I suspect the fence part may have been an oversimplification (who would have thought) or an outright fabrication, because I have looked at various retellings of the story and I didn’t find a single reference to a three sided fence, besides this video. One source says that the pig pushed its way through the fence, which if you’ve ever seen a massive hungry pig doesn’t sound too far fetched.
"When the Americans showed up in the British camp to plant their flag they couldn't because the British took the flagpole" The pettiness of this dispute is just epic
@@Meltingmanx4102 Speaking skills are defined as skills which allow us to communicate effectively. These skills give us the ability to convey information verbally and in a way that the listener can understand.
I find it really cool that in this video, Winfield Scott comes off as more of a competent general than he did in the Civil War videos, where he just seemed overly cautious. Shows that there's more to a military man's legacy than one conflict.
It is funny cause you could probably consider Winfield Scott one of America's greatest generals historically. His actions during the Mexican-American war were pretty impressive.
Winfield Scott was a fantastic general and actually one of the most decorated in United States history, however by the time of the Civil War he was simply to old to contribute. Although he was actually the first to suggest the strategy the Union used to eventually defeat the South. Had he been young and capable I don’t believe the conflict would have gone nearly as long.
That ending has got to be, hands down, one of the best endings on TH-cam. I’m Australian-Serbian, have absolutely no real connection to either Canada or America, but wow, just wow.
It’s only fitting that one of the most bizarre Oversimplified videos with one of the most passionate endings ends up aging in really weird ways three years later.
@@araw540 alright, so let's see how we do this. We can't just start a war for no reason. So let's bring general Harny and Picket back from the dead, somehow get them back into powerful positions, and have them start the war.

" But the Americans kept coming and they don't stop coming, hopped in their wagons and they hit the ground running, Didn't make sense to keep sharing the Oregon, When they outnumbered the brits more than six to one 🗣 " -Oversimplified
Just this morning I wondered: "Hmm, Oversimplified hasn't posted in a while. I wonder when his next video will come out?" and what was I greeted with this evening? A masterpiece.
Every Oversimplified video is like a family reunion, everyone eager to come together to enjoy a story told by that one very cool uncle or grandpa. Great videos, without fail.
i can see why it took him longer than usual to make this one, the napoleonic wars and prohibition probably left him needing a break, and also, its just made better in general, ill always support your amazing content oversimplified!
I thought to myself "Pickett? Pickett? Where have I heard that name before?" And then as soon as he said Pickett's charge I out loud screamed "THAT Pickett?!?"
"But the Americans keep coming and they don't stop coming, popped in their wagons and they hit the ground running, didn't make sense to keep sharing Oregon, when they outnumbered brits 6-1" Oh how I love OverSimplified.

That ending was the scariest thing I've ever seen as a Canadian.
Good.

Our schools don’t teach us shit.
I knew the islands were disputed territory but I had no idea that it was that insane lol
I honestly don’t think it would be a half bad idea to annex Canada they are fairly close to us culturally plus we can finally have a road from the lower 48 to Alaska.
"Lymon if you spare my life, I grant you three wishes"
The "just as god intended" scene is probably the best recap of all American history.

Ngl manifest destiny sounds like Amercian lebensraum.
Especially dumping mcdonalds on top of an Indian reservation
@@mcboat3467 on a level it was but just under a different pretense surprisingly enough I learned that Hitler used manifest destiny as a comparison to help mold his concept of lebensraum
Oversimplified needs to go off his hinges more often, that ending was hilarious
It wouldn't be special if he did too often.
@@stewardreid4743 that is true
He still should though
The first time he got biased...
He has never made me laugh this much in the entirety of me watching his channel, the ending takes the cake
Who knew the ending of this video was actualy prophetic? Soon Canada. Soon 😂😂
I love how the biggest tension pause weve ever had in Oversimplified history so far was about shooting a pig
I don’t know about you, but I was certainly on the edge of my seat

I wonder exactly how much fun oversimplified has with the voice acting
approximately 82.5% amount of fun with the voice acting
yeah acording to case studies by chief of dear viewers of oversimplified Gody Medis its true that the percentage of fun he has is 82.5
There has been some dispute around that remaining 17.5%, there's actually a really interesting article about whether or not it even exists. But all things being equal, yeah 82.5%
Too much fun.
29:18 Buchanan screaming in fear was just ( _chef's kiss_ )
After all these years, I still find Oversimplified the most consistently quality channel on the whole TH-cam. Please, never stop, even if it takes half year to make a new video!
"Half a year" Shut up, he will do it. At this point I see more eclipses than I watch his videos
Like Literally, it took 6 months
ye
I wish they had more money to be more often
Technoblade fans be like:
37:49 Well that aged Poorly. -2024
No
Aged like fine milk
I like how this entire conflict wouldn't have started if Lyman just built a complete fence.
XD
Or if he just took down some trees
I suspect the fence part may have been an oversimplification (who would have thought) or an outright fabrication, because I have looked at various retellings of the story and I didn’t find a single reference to a three sided fence, besides this video. One source says that the pig pushed its way through the fence, which if you’ve ever seen a massive hungry pig doesn’t sound too far fetched.
7:59 nice shriek all star references
I'm hoping he does a veitnam video, or maybe an aztec style video
"When the Americans showed up in the British camp to plant their flag they couldn't because the British took the flagpole"
The pettiness of this dispute is just epic

@@brucechmiel7964 USA
I mean lets be honest the Brits were the mature ones here, taking away the flagpole is like taking away gun from a toddler.

lol. There's a long, storied history of Americans putting up a pole and the British stealing it. This is just one more such incident.

I find it really cool that in this video, Winfield Scott comes off as more of a competent general than he did in the Civil War videos, where he just seemed overly cautious. Shows that there's more to a military man's legacy than one conflict.
That and he was older in the Civil War videos.
It is funny cause you could probably consider Winfield Scott one of America's greatest generals historically. His actions during the Mexican-American war were pretty impressive.
@@JediLordRevan just dealing with harney is impressive
Winfield Scott was a fantastic general and actually one of the most decorated in United States history, however by the time of the Civil War he was simply to old to contribute. Although he was actually the first to suggest the strategy the Union used to eventually defeat the South. Had he been young and capable I don’t believe the conflict would have gone nearly as long.
He was just not in top shape by the Civil War. Old man in an young man's game.
That ending has got to be, hands down, one of the best endings on TH-cam. I’m Australian-Serbian, have absolutely no real connection to either Canada or America, but wow, just wow.
ајд оздравите, па да се враћамо
The views and opinions expressed by Oversimplified do not reflect the views of TH-cam or it's audiences.
Sincerely, an American 🤣🤣
An Australian In Serbia or Serbian in Australia?I dont know which one is more bizarre.
здраво
🇦🇱🇦🇱🇽🇰🇽🇰🇽🇰
It’s only fitting that one of the most bizarre Oversimplified videos with one of the most passionate endings ends up aging in really weird ways three years later.
OverSimplified is like a solar eclipse it takes a long time to show but when it does its beautiful.
Such a great comment. 👍
Couldn't state it more better
don't look directly at it!
its weird you say that because the last videos were released around the time of the last total eclipse

Tht escalated quickly…o.o
scared me a bit ngl
@@araw540 alright, so let's see how we do this. We can't just start a war for no reason. So let's bring general Harny and Picket back from the dead, somehow get them back into powerful positions, and have them start the war.
@@danielgolem4251 Don't get ahead of yourself. First we need some potatoes and a pig if I'm not mistaken from the instructional video.
I love how oversimplified manages to turn history that may be considered boring to something fun and entertaining
History IS INTERESTING this just makes it funy i like that
37:17 is mostly the terrifying part because no one expected it
History is only boring if your educator is boring.
My teacher makes history fun aswell
I love how even though this story has nothing to do with Buchanan’s stupidity, OS still takes the opportunity to call out his incredible incompetence.
“Being American, ____ pulled out guns”. One of the most useful sentences when talking about American history
Jerk.
Judging by what's going on in Australia, Austria, and other countries I'd say that's a sound policy.

And I took that personally

I feel like OverSimplified has improved so much. Mic quality, entertainment, voice, its some great development. Go OverSimplified!
IKKRR
The animation is upgraded too. Nice.
Hes been using skill share
@Zack We’re coming for u Canadian.
He reached his current level at least two years ago.
Nothing could prepare me for the sheer intensity of Oversimplified's ungodly patriotism at the end.

@@obscurereference6298 Both. Both nations are good. Why are we trying to pick a fight with neighbors?
Since America is a country with people of all the world's nationalities, it techincally can spread to the whole world under the claim of uniting its people. The true United Nations in a singular country has been USA all along!

Honestly this is one of the most comical videos he's made for this channel. But it's still educational. You get the basic ideas despite it being simple and exaggerated for comedy. I've never heard of any of this haha. Also some people have pointed out he's seemed to have improved his speaking skills over time and I gotta agree. Great job Oversimplified!
Ima Canadian goose
Your telling me. What could more dangerously silly than nearly starting a war with Britain over a pig?
This whole conflict sounds like something that would happen on a Minecraft server, "Alright guys who killed my pig?!?"😂
More likely will happen on an smp
@@melatiputih565 that's what a minecraft server is

Historical content aside, just as pure writing/editing/acting/animating... this is by FAR the most incredible video on this channel, and that's saying something.
They get better each time. He’s constantly improving
And this is literally over the dispute of an island. Imagine him revisiting some of his old pieces of content???

Just this morning I wondered: "Hmm, Oversimplified hasn't posted in a while. I wonder when his next video will come out?" and what was I greeted with this evening? A masterpiece.
I had the same thought this time last night! AND BAM!!
Same 😆
Same here guys😂😂
Its magic
Agreed
Every Oversimplified video is like a family reunion, everyone eager to come together to enjoy a story told by that one very cool uncle or grandpa. Great videos, without fail.
Well said cousin!
What a great analogy.
Great say cousin!

Oversimplified returned with a new video.
*This pleased his subscribers, who rewarded him dearly.*
Lol
Muah perfection
*yes*
yes
True
Honestly, I feel like Oversimplified does one “real” war and then turns 180 degrees to explain wars started over things like emus, buckets, and pigs
He does a 2 parter on a war or a revolution then does a 1 parter on other things like this and Prohibition
Don't forget football.

Funny since the only death was a pig
i can see why it took him longer than usual to make this one, the napoleonic wars and prohibition probably left him needing a break, and also, its just made better in general, ill always support your amazing content oversimplified!
Well, there was also a lot that went on during Prohibition and the Napoleonic Wars.

2. It’s an obscure war I’ve never heard about
3. 30+ minutes long

which is why he's starting his own!
