Imagine parading around a person you enslaved, talking about her amazing poetry about freedom from tyranny, and not seeing the irony. Phyllis deserved better.
almost as ironic as "heroically" fighting the British for freedom while and after exiling and butchering the country's native population without mercy for one's own benefit.
I had but did not know she was in the light infantry company of her regiment, those were always some of the best soldiers. Glad she finally got the pension she earned.
I'd love to have known what "Phillis's" name was before her slave name. It's horrible that she was enslaved, taken advantage of financially, and died so young without getting to enjoy being free.
Can you imagine that in somebody’s attic, is one of those shirts with their name embroidered in it? And what a irony, for an enslaved person to write for the freedom of the US. At least they did the right thing and freed her.
@Mango T Had she been on the British side, she would have been automatically freed. One of the reasons for the war was that Britain was going to scrap slavery in her colonies as it was an inhuman practice.
@@louvendran7273 Yes True except that the British only freed the slaves because they thought that freeing the slaves could help them defeat the Americans. The British didn’t do it out of love but just as a type of military strategy.
It's generally been my understanding that by the latter half of the eighteenth century, many girls were taught to read and write if they had the means to arrange it, alongside the usual stuff about learning to be a lady and running a household. It is important, after all, to know the basics of writing and math to be sure that you aren't being cheated by a contract, purchase, or going over ledgers kept by household staff. The husband wasn't always around to do these things.
I just realized both of the Schuyler sisters not including Peggy name their children after each other but Peggy was not even one of their children’s names
I’d prefer actual black royals. We’ve already heard about Nzinga, but nothing of Ranavalona of Madagascar or the Nubian Kandakes or even the Haitian monarchs’ wives.
Thank you again, so much! This has helped my homeschool work so much. Almost all of these women were discussed in my kids’ program! Not as in-depth, but we learned their names and contributions. They earned their place in history, it’s nice seeing them get it!
This past week I've had to write a biography of Mercy Otis Warren and I cannot believe I had never heard of her before! I appreciate you and your work so much. Sending all the love and virtual hugs!
I was so excited when I found out she was doing this series because since I found out Hamilton existed a few months ago I've been obsessed and I saw Eliza and Angelica's portraits and literally squealed
Deborah is just one of the ones we know about. There have been women fighting in every war in this country... some have just done it disguised as men to manage it. They've also had different reasons for doing it. There are stories out there of women who fought in the civil war and weren't found out until they were placed in a nursing home. Those I think are so sad. But yes, it's happened for a long time. I'm sure you can find info on it, if you search.
Hi there. Love ur stuff. Just want to highlight that the picture u used showing Esther running with her children is actually the portrait showing the battle of jersey in 1781 showing the death of major Peirson between jersey/British forces and the French :). Can’t wait for more videos :)
Love all four parts! Wow I'm the first daughter and then first Lady. LOL. 😆 Lindsay you help make history of people very interesting and fun to learn. Thank you. I'm just glad I found your channel.
There was a slave who sued for her freedom. Her name was Elizabeth Freedman. Fun fact..Phillis Wheatley also impressed Thomas Paine with her poetry. Great Job.
I love that you did something for the founding mothers this is by far my favorite set of videos. The rest are still awesome but American history was one if my majors
Debra is like the American verson of mulan Truly amazing.... she could have been hanged or worse raped, tortured then hanged Incredible that the two people didnt report her rather they supported her
this series is so amazing. It just occurred to me that these women are like the Joni Mitchel, Diana Ross, and Stevie Nicks of the time of the birth of our Nation. Not because of music, but because of their soul. Joan Baez too.
Nancy Hart would be an interesting woman to find out more about. There is a county in Georgia named for her. Her legends are from the time of the Revolutionary War.
I don’t know if it’s true, but I once heard about a woman who fought as a man in the Civil War. It ended really badly for her when people found out after the war. Does anyone know who I’m describing? I can’t remember a name.
I don’t remember her name either, but it is true. They only found out when she was so badly wounded a doctor discovered her secret, during the war. Obviously they discharged her. And thinking about it, I vaguely remember something about her trying to get veterans benefits? Discharge payment?🤔 something. Since she was a woman.... I can’t remember if she won her case or lost. But yes she was real.
@@Lauren.E.O Jennie Hodgers May be the one you’re thinking of, but she lived for another 50 years as a man. There are actually several, so it’s going to be pretty hard to pin down the actual one you’re thinking of. It is really interesting. Have fun!😉
I love this series SO much! Thank you so much for your extensive research. I homeschool, and my daughter and I are studying this part of American history. I will most certainly incorporate this important information into our curriculum.
I really think the another Schuyler sisters Catherine and Cornelia are so underrated, Catherine was a one year old when her older sister Elizabeth Schuyler gave birth to her first son
Hmm… Deborah’s story sounds familiar… almost like Disney ripped this story to apply it to a Chinese fable. (Seriously, Disney’s Mulan plays too much like Deborah Sampson’s story: not a trained fighter, fighting for her country, gets discovered after getting injured on the battlefield, all that’s missing is the love interest who happened to be a general.)
She also wasn't abandoned by her discoverer. What he did was really admirable under the circumstances. And she was supported in her life after the war, and recognized for what she did, without facing the risk of death as punishment.
But that's the story of every woman who ever dressed like a man, fought in a war, and got injured (which happens a lot in wars)... Sarah Wakeman, Loreta Velasquez, Sarah Edmonds just to name a few I know from the Civil War. Sampson's backstory and life experiences outside of the army bear no resemblance to Disney's Mulan, which takes lots of liberties with the original balad.
@@mirandapontarelli5485 Sometimes the only way to escape death after passing as a man was to "plead your belly", as a couple of famous female pirates did. At the time, it was illegal to execute a pregnant woman.
More like convergent evolution, from what I understand. The Mulan tale has a lot of variations, and a lot of similarity with Deborah. Mulan's a lot older though.
When Mercy's husband and child was named James Warren: 👁👄👁 Hold on Esther's child is also Named Joseph- And she's George Washington's Mother :0 I was also shocked that Phillis popped up, I learned about her in school and its amazing that a black woman is there :o. Did she have any children or are they unknown? (This was Before she got into her story-)
Deborah Sampson was born in Plympton, Plymouth, MA, on 17 Dec 1760 to Jonathan and Deborah (Bradford) Sampson, and had six siblings: Jonathan (b. 1753), Elisha (b. 1755), Hannah (b. 1756), Ephraim (b. 1759), Nehemiah (b. 1764), and Sylvia (b. 1766). She was married to Benjamin Gannett (1757-1827),a farmer from Sharon, MA, on 07 Apr 1785, by whom she had three children (GANNETT): Earl (b. 1786), Mary (b. 1788), and Patience (b. 1790). She died in Sharon, Norfolk, MA, on 29 Apr 1827, aged 66 years
I am related to Deborah Sampson through her mother she is a 3rd cousin I don't remember how many times removed. I wonder what you plan for next weeks episode. Women of the civil war?
Wait. Mr. Church missed his duelling opponent and then lent those same pistols to Phillip... who missed his opponent and died... and to Alexander... who missed and died... no one thought maybe they were extra crappy pistols? Lol
I'm new here and going through your lovely videos and the "Queens of Europe" category i was sure to find Queen Isabella I of Castile but no mention in any of your videos. she was by far one of the most consequential and influential monarchs with her achievements being the sponsor that led to the establishment of the Americas, as well as being the grandmother of many kings and queens such as Mary I of England, Phillip II of Spain, can you please do her biography? please, please im sure you will do a lovely worthy piece thank you in advance.
Viewers can learn more by reading Cokie Roberts’ wonderful book “Founding Mothers”. Lindsay would you consider introducing the women that Roberts mentions in her other books “Ladies of Liberty” and “Capitol Dames”? We American women ought to know who the important women in our history are besides a few First Ladies and other women. We have so many unsung but amazing ladies who have contributed to this country in many ways. It’s time everyone knew about them!
Angelica Schuyler Church is one of several reasons I just completely adore the name. It means angelic which I think is adorable and it’s always overshadowed by Angelina. Unfortunately my husband hates the name thanks to that stupid Rugrats show and refused to let us use it for our baby girl. 😭💔
The one that comes to mind for me is Sybil Ludington. The girl that road twice as far, in a much more dangerous area to alert the troops like Paul Revere did but she doesn't get the credit he does!
Wow! I had never heard of these ladies. Makes me wonder how it might impact women when we grow up in school only hearing about important historical male figures.
I love this video! women don’t need the title of founding mothers. We don’t need all this to be recognized. We were there taking care of things. Just sometimes it takes people a while to realize it. Not Hating on the Video
Let us push the Bureau of Engraving and the US Mint to establish a series of genearl circulation quarters featuring all four of these founding mothers. Each for one year. Replacing George Washington until a suitable new form has been agreed upon. I can't do this by myself. These women deserve to be known and honored. Its never too late to do so. Please aid me in this campaign. It is a worthy endeavour. With great sincerity and respect. Yours truly.
"Behind every great man is a great woman." Hm, Alexander the Great, emperor Hadrian and Frederick the Great, among others, would beg to disagree (o; But seriously, kudos for your informative and engaging videos. As a non-American, this topic is not inherently interesting to me and yet I've enjoyed this series immensely. Keep up the wonderful work (o:
Fredrick the great was completely heterosexual but had issues which made it difficult for him to have relations with women and Alexander was bisexual and had multiple side women .
@@cameronhowe1110 Oh wow, historians have been debating the nuances of the sexuality of these men for hundreds of years yet you, random person on the interwebs, apparently know the real truth of the matter. I wasn't making definitive statements about their sexuality, I don't really care about that (though you seem very invested in scotching those nasty gay rumours about long-dead historical figures) (o; I was merely (facetiously) pointing out that, while it's true that many noteworthy men have been ably supported by equally noteworthy women, it's not accurate to state that there's a great woman behind every great man.
Wish I could watch Debora's story in a movie or series. History was written by men and they didn't give enough credits to women like her. There were so many others like her too at least - I believe there were quite a few during the civil war. It's so hard to find movies about them.

I agree 100%. It's a shame she died so young to... Probably because of the poor conditions slaves were exposed to.
Also sucks ass that they named her after the ship she was brought over on as well
@@hannahstahl1857 at least she made the most of her circumstances and earned herself a great place in american history and that should be celebrated.

@@lightyagami3492 She was free when she died. At that point she had been free for a while, married, and worked (for pay) as a maid.
History is written by the victors. And women and POC get left out. Thanks, Lindsay.
Wow Deborah's story was fascinating! I can't believe I've never heard of her :o
I had but did not know she was in the light infantry company of her regiment, those were always some of the best soldiers. Glad she finally got the pension she earned.
Liberty's Kids did a good job on her story.
I used to have a book about female historical figures and she was in it. She wasn't the only woman to ever pull a 'Mulan' like this either.
What an amazing woman! 🇺🇲
@@michelleforrester3636it was actually way more common than most people realize.
Wow, Phyllis is honestly just ... I'm flabbergasted at how she was able to break all glass ceilings which her time had given her.
Kudos to the doctor who didn’t give Deborah’s secret away!
It sucks that Mercy couldn’t get the higher education she wanted.
