Earl Grey is someone I consider to be an absolute mad lad.
He assisted in abolishing slavery twice (Foreign secretary in 1807 and PM in 1833), as well as starting the process for a fair and balanced government.
As well as the fact that he solved all his problems by threatening to leave. Eventually fully quitting when problems with Ireland occurred, as they do.
I'd also like to say he had 16 legitimate children, and spent equal time in government and with family.
@@Renaissance_Kamikaze That would be his father, also known as Charles Grey, 1st Earl Grey.
He's most known as 'No Flint Grey' during the American Revolutionary War, where during an infiltration of a fort, he told his soldiers to not use the flint in their muskets and instead their bayonets, reducing the noise and light by the muskets. In the end he claimed the fort.
He also became tea
Good guy, awful tea.
@@loading9110 what makes you say that
Hooray for Earl grey
You gotta love the "show something for a few frames then undo it because there actually isn't any" move, gets me everytime
The women voters bar had me in tears😂
The long-awaited sequel is finally here!
Off with your head
Actually his long awaited sequel is The Woodrow Wilson Hate Day series.
@@goldenhair don't worry, it's coming. Probably.
Now we gotta tune in next month, and the next month, and the next month and the next month
Just to clarify, the English slaveship “Zong”was originaly a Dutch slaveship called “Zorg” which does translate to ‘care’ in dutch, but also to ‘burden’ and/or ‘worry’ depending on it’s use. “Zong” in dutch is the past tense op the english “Singing”, “Sang” Not that this detail is of any importance to the story.
was going to comment this but ah well
I didn't know Dutch was actually a fantasy language.
Neat, until you said Dutch it sounded like a villain from a sci-fi universe, but I now immediately see the relationship to German "Sorgen", which has the same meanings.
@@seneca983 Tolkein created the dutch language
@@ekszentrik also sorrow in english has the same root and a somewhat similar meaning. also zong would be sang in english and german
Excellent video! I’ve been waiting for this one 🙂🙂👍🏼👍🏼
oh god it's the crossover of the century
Same, looking forward to your next radiohead reference
Brit: Tune in next month for part 3!
Me: Bu... but, but it's the first of November?
ahhhhhhhhhh... time to wait
Who would've guessed that actual research and script writing takes time?
@@tiagoprado7001at least quality of video would surely skyrocket
a little bit more waiting
this series is criminally underrated but ive been waiting for this one a lot
I don't understand how these haven't gone viral yet. Such an interesting topic that we don't really get educated on in the UK, at least at my school.
I didn't learn about any of this until I did my law degree, not even in A-level law was this ever mentioned.
Yes we don't like being ruled by a tea company
Our tea is good enough
yea
coffee is better ;)
@@davidelabarile1634 heresy.

I don't think people have a problem with Britain's role in the slave trade being discussed. It's the fact some people pretend that the only people who did slavery were the British that I have a problem with. They act like it was unique to us, while entirely ignoring, or simply being ignorant of, slavery literally everywhere else in the world for literally all of time since the invention of agriculture. Viewed in that context, the lengths we went to to abolish slavery is kind of incredible, and I do think we should be proud of it.
You are correct, in all corners of the world
The concept of slavery existed in one way or another, as you said it is not exclusively European.
All people in all of the continents practiced slavery even the africans enslaved other africans that’s before the scramble for Arica.
Sounds as if these Tories were surley put out of power in the coming years and fell into obscurity with the feudal lords losing power. Anything else would be crazy.
shame they are still in power today lol
You do realise it’s the Tories who abolished slavery right?
@@martychisnall That is a really reductive and uninformed take.
@@martychisnall Abolished by 2nd Earl Grey, a Whig not a Tory.
@@martychisnall they didn't. It literally says it in the video
YES!!! Been looking forwards to this one!
Same
The Grey Ministry was certainly interesting. Y’all remember that election in 1831 that happened? The King, William IV, called that not only because of Grey’s scheme to expand Whig seats, but because the Tories were implacably opposed to a dissolution, so much so that in the Lords, the 3rd Marquess of Londonderry threatened to start whipping pro-government aristocrats and had to be restrained by 4 other peers, the King then entering and dissolving Parliament in a scene that can only be described as chaotic
Superb work my friend. The graphics are great, whole work is very concise and cogent and to the point
Love the Professor Layton music, perfect for this series!
I've only discovered your channel like 2 months ago but I've already become a huge fan, especially of all the insight into British topics that usually don't get discussed as much. Keep up the good work!
Just watched all your video in a day
And I love your way of narrative.
Just continue to makes such interesting and awesome video
Great stuff Mr. Monkey! Really looking forward to part III of this two part series.
I wrote a paper last semester about the Victorian London Clubscene (club land, where the rich boys were drinking and networking) and because that Reform Bill was so all-important in that day and age, I even had to talk about that for a solid 15 % of that paper, lmao.
god i can't wait for the third one. This is great! You are truly a hidden gem and i am glad youtube recommended me your vids
As a Canadian who is a nerd over our constitution, this is a very fun series to watch, since our constitution uses a lot of the same documents / Constitutional Conventions but also added some federalist twists. Thank you for putting this together!
Been so looking forward to this video
This is so incredibly entertaining and informed, I’m excited for part 3! :-)
I have a cold and have been binge watching your channel, super entertaining stuff my guy!
Great video again, looking forward to part 3!!
Please, in the next video, mention the time liberals tried to approve a *land value tax,* along many more tax reforms in the 1909 People's Budget. It was, once again, blocked by the House of Lords in 1910, and, once again, lead to a political crisis.
Fantastic suggestion.
Babe wake up new britmonkey video
Been waiting for this, love the videos
Love your videos! Very informative and entertaining! 😃😃😃
Loving this series!
thanks it is always interesting to learn about other constitution and laws etc
I cannot express how fascinating this is
Ahh, just finished all your videos mate, keep up the good work!
I really love your videos. Keep it up.
3:08 you ommitted "thank God!"
The Return Of The King
He's been gone for 2 weeks
this video is literally on the exact period i had to do for my history AS. where was this when I needed it
Guys remember when he said "tune in next month"
finally, what I'm waiting for
Still happy that I found you in my recommends
Absolutely brilliant thanks!!
Im following this series with great interest
As a company that provides services to expats and citizens leaving the west I think a more updated and concise constitution in a single document such as you recommended would help a lot of our British clients feel more at ease about the countries future. Great video we really enjoyed it.
As someone from the UK these videos have been great!
Love these keep making them
great video! shame Part 3 will not be here before my UK Constitution exam next week lol!
I can’t believe I’ve watched every single one of your videos.
Really like your videos, a perfect way to escape life, its like im meditating for 10 minut, i sow a bunch of them and i fell soooo relaxed
Been waiting for this
Complements. Such thrilling presentations.
Yay new video from britmonkey!l
babe wake up new britmonkey vid just dropped
Great vid, keep this up!
yay part 2
This was wonderful
Actually 10x better than my constitutional law module at uni
I like this video, thank you. It is more interesting that I have thought It'd be
I love this video. Very nice video.
Looking forward to Episode 3 ..
Best history class I never had
Danm it man make channel member already I adore these videos keep it up!
Wonderful video!
During said 1800's period, Brazil passed the said "laws to the English see" (sry if mistranslated), like the "lei Eusébio de Queiroz" that freed slaves above 60 years old, now i want you to think about, which slave would live to be 60 years old.
Thing is, these were piecemeal decisions that were meant not to ban slavery, but to lay the groundwork for a gradual abolition of it in the 1880s. The Liberals and the Emperor weren't at all happy about that, but the landowners weren't yet happy to give up their slaves until the latter half of the 1880s
Great video!
Whoooohoooo! Part twooooo!
Fantastic video, but looking into the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 it appears that the debt being paid of in 2015 was really a technicality, as opposed to an accurate representation of how large the loan was.
Very enjoyable
This is very interesting!
here we go, get your popcorn
Great video 👍
Omg it's finally here!!!
11:38 Ah, yes, nothing better than the soundtrack of a British gentleman saving Britain from destruction in a footage of Britain being destroyed.
This need a part III
Loved it
Liking and commenting just to foment the algorithm, go, spread this video to the masses!
Literally squealed at Bob Hale
Amazing
Still waiting on part 3
Slave trade was a horror and a stain on the world but it's worth remembering that almost every civilization has had slaves.
The British Empire remains the only empire to voluntarily free slaves of its own accord. How many other empires have driven themselves in to a 150 year debt for ethical reasons?
I'm not excusing or minimising the evil of it but that's still worth noting
denmark do it before 1807 so....
@@davidelabarile1634 Fair enough, I take your point. Still, it was more intrinsic to the economy of the British Empire than to the Danes
@@Connor-vj7vf hey...
denmark do it in 1803 and for everthing being the first state to abolish slavery and is trade...its true..its true i im not saying that denmark do more work to abolish slavery but just arrive first...
and also denmark as colonies in africa and in the wes indies and thats territory were slavery was there...
Your a great Historian!
still on the wait for the third part
will it come out one day or not ?
It's been a month BRITTY.
Are you thinking of making a video on when a british hawker hunter fired a missile and it turned around and tried to kill the plane it was fired from?
To add, there was the Chartist Movement that began circa 1836 , who wanted 6 Points
- A vote for every man over the age of 21
- Secret Ballots
- Non Land Owning males could vote
- Payment for MP's
- Ridings have equal sizes
- Regular Elections
.
when uuh mentioned that we patted ourselves for 250 years of a good job and forgot the 200 years of wrong we did...i immediately knew..uuh are a awsm man
Part III when?
The background music sounds so much like a professor Layton ost or is it just me cause it is a video about England ?
Thank you for this video! As a Northumbrian it makes me happy to see Earl Grey gain recognition.
next month i cry
Good video
It's fundamental to learn about the constitution of UK as it has shaped the modern philosophy of politics and learn from their mistakes as well.
ayyyy Professor Layton music
It's either 'a lot fairer' or 'a lot more fair'. It it's 'a lot more fairer'.. (Double superlative).
Let's go!
Finally
YESSS
May i know where the first 5 seconds of this video originated from?
What editing software is that at 0:28? Anyway, good video 👍
Adobe Premier
You know people are serious when they burn down the pubs.
I hear SimAnt music at 5:00. I haven't heard that song in decades.
