I read the title a bit too quickly and thought it said "A confederate reacts- The articles of confederation", I was so confused for a second lmao
xD
I'd be shocked if a ghost can read
Ok
The confederates rise from the dead 😂
Lmao
Extra Credits researcher said, that the most critical historical record about Admiral Yi is his own diary and it's really hard to find any record at all.
The funny thing is, most of his diary has the word "my body hurts , or I'm in pain" cus he's been tortured by the corrupt eunuchs continuously
Im of the firm belief that they were not trying to destroy the tea but they were trying to make a harbor sized cup of tea
Could be so, at that time most of them considered themselves good English men, but ones with a serious beef
Highly recommend the Opium Wars series. It teaches about the British Empire as well as covering Asia, and shows the strength of the Europeans. Really good watch.
And yes! This was one of my favorite and underrated series! Not alot of people know about this during my of my college class.
"Hey guys, how about we form a central government so we have more sway in international politics?"
"Sounds good."
"Does it get some power and funding?"
"Hahahahaha... no."
we need to go back to that
I like Extra History, OSP and other American history TH-cam channels in general. The problem I have is they often try to spin this moral narrative behind historical events, with who we should root for and when the mood should be somber because we're discussing slavery. As a European who's lived in the US, I find this is a very American, moralistic way to look at history that is perhaps not the best suited to understand actions and events, but that mindset is being imported in my country in public discourse and I don't like it. A historian's role is never to judge, never to be outraged, but always to try and understand, even those we think are the most horrendous, because understanding is not forgiving or condoning. You can't be a political activist and a historian at the same time; or rather, you have to disconnect the two ways of thinking.
Ive never seen this series. Just watched part 1 of the original series. Looking forward to the video!

From Massachusetts. Please don’t spend all your time in Boston. If you haven’t seen it yet Concord is a must, go check out North Bridge and other historical sites, grab a burger at Colonial Inn and just enjoy the town. I live here and it’s still a day vaca for me. You can always slide over and see Lexington Battle Green though I never find myself wanting to leave Concord. Doesn’t take much to see what those boys were fighting for.
I have a video from Lexington and Concord here on the channel when I was there last year. th-cam.com/video/ERxZbcmMjiE/w-d-xo.html
Extra History always puts out great stuff and I am thankful to this channel that I found out about them. Thanks for posting!
Alternative title:
Another f*cking perfect video
Ok
You know you don't have to sensor yourself right? I mean it's not like we all can't tell what you said. May as well just type the word.
@@Spartan265 mind your business and let people have their own sensitivities and principles.
@@grantdowling8550 factual like he did it for a reason lmfao
@@Spartan265 think, Spartan265, THINK
I'm as eager for new videos from you as I am eager for new videos from Extra History, Oversimplified, and Armchair Historian. Just shows how much I enjoy listening to you added to what is being said.
I do hope to see you do more videos outside of European and American history, even if you don't say much as you once said your knowledge of such areas is limited it expands your knowledge of places outside of what you do know. Thats part of the fun of it, exploring new areas of history and finding out stuff you never knew before.
This series was actually the first Extra Credits videos I ever saw and now I'm subscribed to their channel.
Edit-I also like Extra History and Extra Mythology. Some of their other subjects lead to controversy, but I think their history and mythology videos are more thought out.
I love your videos man. They give me an excuse to watch Extra History again haha. Their series on Admiral Yi Sun-sin was especially good so I'm definitely looking forward to seeing that one again.
Can you please do extra history’s 1st crusades?
And I hope your son win his game
You're going nuts with the uploads and I am all for it
Yay!!! Love seeing your rendition of extra history
If going to New England, maybe another time though, Ethan Allen’s homesteading Burlington Vermont is pretty cool
I'm really excited you are doing Admiral Yi. Its an exciting series.
Oh look my favourite historian just uploaded something :)
12:50
Wow, the fact that the body parts were still there too, that Ben worked on. After all this time. Fascinating.
Awesome to hear you’re coming to Maine!! We have some pretty cool stuff to visit here :)
Hi VTH, new sub here, love your educational content!
Thanks and welcome!
I’ve seen you reference Hamilton a couple times on other videos but I also really recommend the musical 1776. It even has a movie version. Very different songs but I absolutely love the scenes where they show some of the debates, including the moment where they decide that independence must be unanimous, and how they address the condemnation of slavery being removed from the declaration.
I know it’s not extremely historically accurate (for one they show the declaration being signed by everyone on July 4 but that’s mostly for a dramatic ending), but the way they portray the more loyalist members of Congress like Dickenson as well as other people who weren’t in favor of independence at first is amazing. Plus the song “Molasses to Rum to Slaves” is a great “villain” song (really just that one and Dickenson’s are the closest to villain songs since they’re portrayed more as antagonists than evil villains thankfully.)
Also they do make a recurring joke about New York constantly abstaining.
I would love to see a video about the winter war. Your videos are always a pleasure to watch
Love the video and a big fan of history myself.
When I was in high school, they hardly touched on the articles of confederation, so I'm glad you have a series on it.
Hello from Australia!
Speaking of the show John Adams, I'd love to see you react to it, though I'm not sure if copyright would be a big issue. It's such a great show on one of the most underrated Founding Fathers in spite of some historical inaccuracies.
What did Eli Whitney think of his invention reviving slavery into being much more profitable? Do we have any records?
yes!!! Im SO looking forward to your Admiral Yi reaction
Ooo I am excited for this!
Early US History is awesome
Just said the Ben Franklin Disection fact to my girlfriend. She just said "yeah, kinda (effed) up." I just want to know how she learned about this before me. Guess I need to research this period a little more.
Thanks for the videos as always. I'm on the back-catalogue now, watching stuff I hadn't yet. Glad you do so many because I have a lot to get through
I freaking love this channel. Makes my day
Yes it was Richard Henry Lee on July 1st.
It was voted on July 2nd
And the independence draft was finalized on July 4th.
It wasn’t until August 2nd that the Declaration of Independence was signed.
Richard Henry Lee is the relative of Confederate General Robert E Lee. 😊
I made it to my senior year in High School (back in the 80s, no internet) and missed a question on the test college admission test about the Articles because California public schools had never mentioned it ! And there was mandatory US history in 6th, 8th and 11th grade. Thanks Cali. I learned to do my own research - which involved libraries and books back then.
I went to an LAUSD high school in the late 70s and we learned about the Articles of Confederation in both Jr. High and High School
Building up historical confidence. Love it.
I live in Plymouth Massachusetts. Everything's finally starting to open back up again.
The Articles of Confederation need to get emphasized more, in high school American History, given that so few people take college level courses in the subject.
A frank look at the dysfunctional consequences of the Articles, and the fact the country nearly collapsed because of them, would explain why the Constitution's strong central government is so absolutely necessary.
Generally speaking, the Articles relied on the willingness of people to behave rationally and ethically, without need for external enforcement.
As we see, today, willingness to behave ethically towards others (or even treat them with simple courtesy) and behave rationally are unrealistic expectations all too frequently.
The Constitution was an artifact of Enlightenment-era thinking, but even fewer people back then qualified as "enlightened rationalists," as compared to today -- and *we* have precious few of them.
need you to peep those Simo Hayha videos
Can you also react on their Cuban Missile Crisis video?
Random question, not directly related to the video: have you ever considered doing a lets play (or, just playing) the Crusader Kings series?
I ask because I remember you mentioning in a previous video that you did a lot of work on family histories and Crusader Kings is a high strategy game where you play as an entire dynasty from about the 10th through 15th centuries. Seems like something that's up your alley and thought it might be worth mentioning.
You should really try out the avenging Vares from Invicta
Never been this early, but yeah nice video👍
He should do kings and general s video of Thomas Cochran
Would love to see you do a movie reaction to Waterloo. The full movie is on TH-cam as the copyright is voided since it was a coproduction with the Soviet Union. Largest group of extras ever used in a film, around 17,000. Largely historically accurate as it uses a lot of the recorded dialogue.
Hope your son has another good season of soccer!
After you can you also consider doing Sun Yat Sen from extra history
While in Plymouth you may want to go to fall river to see battleship cove. Will you be going near Groton, CT? There you have fort Trumbull and also at the sub base the nautilus museum is there
While you are up in New England you have to go to Fort Ticonderoga! They do live demonstrations and such a cool fort and history with Ethan Allen there!
Extra History, Oversimplified and The Armchair Historian is my favourite history channel in youtube.
What about Vlogging Through History
@@ohl0gu371 My fourth favourite.
Oversimplified is great but not very entertaining. This guy knocks entertainment value out of the park for me.
@@mhollis1231 How the hell is Oversimplified not entertaining?
@@yashjoseph3544 It's like listening to Sparknotes. You get all the information without the meat of it. This guy will take apart certain compartmentalized pieces of history and explain the whole story behind them.
Admiral Yi is next?! That one historically define today's society!
Explain
Reaction Ideas:
-Thoughty2 Videos
-Sabaton History
-Sabaton Music
-Battle 360
-Simple History
-Japanese Unit 731
I would love to see your reaction to Extra History's Ibn Battuta series. I personally found it fascinating
You should do the Northern War!
Franklin was a loyalist to the crown, or at the very least a moderate who thought that the conflict could have been healed before the war started. He met with the Lords in Parliament during negotiations and the Lords there was so condescending to him, a Loyalist Sympathizer, that they turned Franklin against the Loyalist cause. It's said he went in a Loyalist but left a Patriot.
Heck yeah have fun. Boston is an amazing city. I’ve lived in northeast Connecticut my whole life and Boston has always been one of my favorite places to go
Learning, Understanding, enlightening, Great Information!!!! Thanks for sharing! :)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :)
A soccer coach too? Man this guy gets cooler and cooler. I play it myself and love it
I'd love to see him do one on Victoria or Elizabeth I
Dickinson was not the only 'no' vote on the first call. The other delegate from Penn abstained along with Dickinson for the second vote which ended in a 3-2 majority for independence. Delaware's delegation was tied until Caesar Rodney famously rode to Philadelphia to cast the deciding vote to break the deadlock. The point still stands though as he was likely the most influential of the 'not ready for independence' camp in the Congress.
As you mention, once the vote was decided he resigned from Congress to join the Pennsylvania state militia. A side tangent is that John Dickinson was the only founding father during the Independence years to free all of his slaves. Ben Franklin had done so previously in 1770.
A man of principle indeed.
Oohhhhh yes! I actually started watching you recently and wanted to see your reaction to this, and! Admiral Yi! Small spoiler:
The guy made an entire nation to save his
You could also think about reacting to Extra Credits Video on the Warsaw Uprising. I am new to your community, but i know already that you like and respect the Polish people and country, so maybe that is a interesting thing to see and react to.
First, keep up the great work!
Am I the only one, that when he said Richard Henry Lee, the song from 1776 started playing in your mind?
You should really check out some of the videos from Overly Sarcastic Productions as well, they can be a bit info-dense, but they do great work. Blue does history and Red does Mythology.
Good stuff
Got my "I ❤ History" sticker yesterday
Gonna switch them up to something new every few months, let me know if you have any ideas.
I think most of the dialogue from HBO's John Adams was taken from actual writings and quotes. They don't always line up w\ when they actually said it but I remember reading about the effort they put into having, at least somewhat, faithful dialogue
I'm can't wait for Admiral Yi
Get your power drills ready.
You should react to some of mark felton productions videos they are really informative and interesting, love the vids btw!
Yey new video!!
@Vlogging Through History in terms of historical accuracy and entertainment which channel do you prefer, Extra Credits/Extra History or Oversimplified?
They’re both pretty accurate. Oversimplified is more entertaining but Extra History is the better at telling a compelling story.
I have a suggestion for a video to react to: The cold war from the Soviet pov by Viki 1999
Can you do the Mail empire series
If visiting new England for the historical value, may I suggest an oft overlooked stop. The city of Lowell, Massachusetts is arguably the birthplace of the industrial revolution in America. Many of its mills are still standing in the city. There are a few museums in the city dedicated to the era.
Please react to "How Medieval Kings Would See Today" by Fire of Learning.
A soccer(football for us in Europe) coach as well? You, Sir, have my utmost respect!
You should do a tier list of presidential candidates that lost
10/10 will watch again
A historical accuracy of the Spartans and Leonidas would be cool
This is a good series but Yi has such a good, if not frustrating story
AYYYY New England! Hello from New Hampshire!
*The Letters from a Pennsylvania Farmer* and it’s less popular sequel *The Pennsylvania Farmer and the Goblet of Fire*
Have you seen “1776” the musical movie? I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on it, I’m sure much is inaccurate in it but I learned a lot from it I might not have. It has a
Very moving portrayal of John Dickinson and his “rivalry” with John Adams.
Also has some hilarious songs. “A second flood, a simple famine, plagues of locusts everywhere, or a cataclysmic earthquake id accept with some despair. But no. You sent us Congress. Good God, sir, was that fair?”
Highly recommend Catherine the Great by Extra Credits!
Great video again coach! Now you better be supporting England in the Euros..... :)
Stop by holliston on your way to Boston 😅
The EMKI at JFK presidential library is a wonderful addition to Boston, if you haven't been there before it's worth checking out.
Day 7 or 8 of asking vth of asking to react to Oliver cromwells head by real life lore
Can u please react to 3 kingdoms by oversimplified that's one of my fav videos from his
Also, love your channel ❤
If you can get up far enough in maine, go to Fort Knox. It's realy well preserved! One of the best forts I've been in.
Been there! th-cam.com/video/ZOvDVCgwV-o/w-d-xo.html
you should react to the TH-cam Channel operations room
Watchung from Indonesia!
Early Extra Credits stuff is really good. At some point, the quality of their stuff started becoming way too hit or miss for me.
I don’t really mind their history or mythology stuff.
I just don’t like their stuff on video game designs and morality of game tropes. Those are really hit and miss for me.
@@Nostripe361 There is plenty of stuff to dislike about their later history stuff, believe me
Maybe until History from Space Travel? After that, all videos feel off somehow...
It’s when Dan the original narrator left
You should watch cgp grey’s video on the British royal family
Yes, John Dickinson did join the Army after he resigned from the Continental Congress, but he left the Army after only a few months - a fact which is seldom mentioned.
I'm gonna start making money in September, first thing i'm gonna do when I get my first check is sign up for your Patreon
I'd love it if you did a commentary on the movie 1776.
I live in west Plymouth…wish I knew you then
