Drawn of History has a 3 part War of 1812 series --- that actually utilizes some "Reaction Video" peeps as voice characters. So covering them might be something you might be interested in. Since they are obviously very creative at marketing and history. I feel Drawn of History 1812-series is far superior to what this guy slapped together. Even if it is drawn as something that seems to aim for a South Park audience. Not meant as an offense to him. His vid is obviously older and maybe dated by now. As people get more creative on TH-cam. Anyways, the only thing on the USS Constitution I watched (being from Boston) is.... Drachinifel channel USS-Constitution episode about 17min long. Full of Naval jargon for the curious mind I guess lol
The war ended Status Quo Ante Bellum which means everything was left as it was before the war. The British didn't really know about the US front because they didn't care. Napoleon was more interesting. The US lost more battles, suffered higher casualties and lost to generally smaller opposing forces. The reason the US saw it as something as a victory is because the US was a small and relatively weak nation and they picked a fight with the most powerful force on the planet. Even though the US was successfully invaded, it showed they had the resolve to go head to head with basically anyone in order to protect their interests. It cost the US more and the UK barely noticed it was happening, but it still helped the US to take centre stage a century later.
When he mentioned to Republicans, he was referring to people who supported the Republic rather than the political party. Remember also, the 13 colonies still thought of themselves as British until about 1800 when they started to think of themselves as Colombians, then later, Americans.
A few First Nation Americans studied at my uni. They preferred First Nation Peoples. Over here, we don't often call them Indians because we have a large population of Indians. From India.
As a brit we don’t really think of the war at all due to the whole Napoleonic war thing , but when we do look at the war its seen as a defensive victory because the U.S set out to get Canada and failed
@Ally Wakka it was on the basis the British objective was to maintain Canada. The American objective was to take Canada and subsequently lost five invasion attempts.
Anglo is the prefix used to describe someone of English ancestry. It comes from the one of the four Germanic peoples (The Angles) that migrated to the British isles when the Romans left in around the 4th century and later founded England.
1) It was a a few more than four Germanic tribes. The Angles, Saxons, Jutes (from Jutland, Denmark, so in effect the prototype Vikings). Geats (from Gotland, Sweden) the Sutton Hoo burial, thought to be that of King Rædwald, originated from Sweden. Then there's the Frisians from Frisia, which I think is coastal Holland. Franks from Francia, the Germanic people named after their small throwing axes (rather like the Saxons being named for their knives) who would eventually become the French (and Germans). You have to remember that all these German tribes bar the Jutes and Geats, were subject to Rome for a long time and served as Roman auxiliaries in Britannica before the Roman withdrawal. They knew how weak the land was without the legions.
In most ways Canada just likes to do the opposite of what America does. We had to fight to not be absorbed into the US so we had to cling on to things that would distinguish us from you. Like having a smaller population, being more peaceful, getting along with most countries. Things like accepting the queen and some of those traditions. Being part of the commonwealth, along with the strong French Canadian culture. We also entered both world wars when they started instead of waiting a few years.
Yeah, I totally get it. But I love Canada and I think a lot of Americans (U.S.) feel a kinship to it because of the location, and our countries have a lot of the same look and feel to them. There are a lot of places in Canada I’ve seen that I’ve mistaken for the U.S. for example. That’s all I meant by my comment. I think I should have clarified it better in the video.
@@SoGal_YT As a Canadian, the monarchy has also just been a part of my history. I really don't blame Americans for being proud of their sense of independence and democracy, that's your history and it's pretty cool, to be honest. Despite our differences, I love our neighbours to the south. There's really not that much difference between the average Canadian and American.
@@LordOfElysium it seems to me the american identity is about not being british/canadian. the american flag is a knock-off of the british east india company. the american anthem tune is an 18th century british drinking song. canada begins playing rugby and starts gridiron football and that becomes american gridiron football. british rounders begins to develop into baseball in canada and that becomes american baseball. the oldest horse breed, the canadian horse, becomes the morgan horse. the labrador retriever began as a working dog for fishermen in newfoundland over centuries, the british developed it into the labrador retriever and that becomes the american labrador. apple pie is from 13th century britain and that becomes american. the commonwealth adopts a certain size gallon so americans adopt the alternative gallon and it becomes american. etc., notice a trend?
This war has some very interesting battles where the British and Canada team up with the naitive Americans. Even escaped black slaves join up and fight America. Its a shame Britain couldn't force the treaty through, as less than fifty years later the Naitive Americans lost all their land. Its a sad story.

Here in Canada, we're taught in school that the War of 1812 was one of the most formative events for us as a country, and is still a huge part of our national identity. It's very much considered the first beginnings of the emergence of a uniquely Canadian identity, and many of our national and folk heroes (i.e. Maj. Gen. Sir Isaac Brock, Laura Secord, etc.) are figures from the war, there are countless reenactments of some of the major battles every year (i.e. the Battle of Lundy's Lane, the Battle of Queenston Heights, etc.), plenty of the forts built during the war as well as many of the battlefields are still preserved as museums or monuments (i.e. Fort Henry in Kingston, Ontario, Fort York in Toronto, etc.), and there are plenty of folk songs and other music still played today which comemorate the war (i.e. "The Bold Canadian" which is considered our oldest patriotic song, or "Macdonnell on the Heights" which was written by the late great folk singer Stan Rogers sometime in the 1970s or '80s). I even remember it from a Canadian kids' sitcom where one of the characters is a teacher who always teaches the same lesson every day, and she always starts off by saying "Who has heard of the War of 1812?" So yeah, this war is a pretty big deal here in Canada!
The 1812 naval war was very interesting An American author wrote a book titled SIX FRIGATES It's about the birth of the US navy And I will extract certain details from it The USA knew they could not compete with the British navy both economically and resources They decided to build 6 frigates 4 super frigates which would be larger and more powerful with 44 24 pounder long cannons and 2 smaller frigates with 18 pounder cannons The typical British frigates had 38 18 pounders no match for the super frigates The Barbary pirates would demand payment from nations for free passage in the Mediterranean The USA refused to pay and sent a naval task force including one of the super frigates unfortunately the frigate ran aground and was captured by the pirates and later destroyed by an american boarding party Now the 1812 war The first encounter between a British frigate and the super frigate constitution was a disaster for the British The British captain would have been wise to avoid battle but his career would have been over as this was unthinkable Two more times this happened and the British admiralty forbid any more battles between frigates and the super frigates they also converted 2 deck battleships to single deck 24 pounder frigates The one battle that was fought on equal terms was between hms shannon 18 pounder and the uss chesapeake 18 pounder shannon won and the timbers from the Chesapeake were used to build a mill in southern England Britain also captured the super frigate uss President And it was renamed hms president For both sides it was a pointless war
I think when he said French Republicans he meant it in the Anti-Monarchy sense. America being a Republic and Britain a Constitutional Monarchy. Considering Napoleon declared himself Emperor, France wasn't very republican at the time.
"There was no Twitter" The launch of Twitter marks the official last point at which anyone can call a time period "the good old days", because Twitter stains even that which it does not directly touch.
He blames it on lack of twitter... Drawn of History youtube channel, I feel has a far superior telling of the war of 1812, in a 3-part-series. In that series they basically say the USA knew about Britain passing that ruling.. .. But basically told the Brits to "F" off... declared war anyways cause Canada and Native lands.
So as a Graduate Student currently writing a paper about a part of this subject, he is driving me nuts with his description of Jackson and Horseshoe Bend. Earlier in the video he talks about Tecumseh, and his movement. What he doesn't talk about is that in 1811 Tecumseh traveled south to the Creek Nation in hopes of growing his confederacy. Many Creeks found this message appealing, and in 1813, the Red Sticks who wanted to return to traditional ways of life, attacked other Creeks and eventually Fort Mims. This caused the United States to take action, with the ultimate conclusion being the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. Portraying Jackson as being a mastermind in pitting Creeks against one another isn't what occurred. The divisions in the Creeks went back well before 1811 when Benjamin Hawkins was appointed as the Indian Agent (for the Federal government) for all lands south of the Ohio River. He started to implement what was called the "Plan of Civilization", which the video poster talks about with the farming, etc. When the Red Sticks attacked, one of their first targets were Creek headmen who were more aligned with the Plan of Civilization. They understood that eliminating those leaders would benefit them and their goals of moving back towards a traditional lifestyle. Its a super interesting portion of U.S. history that is lumped into the War of 1812, when in reality it is a foreign policy action here at home. It is varyingly called either the Creek War of the Red Stick War.
He left an awful lot out. the battle in Canada lasted two years. with lots of decisive battles. In 1814 when British reinforcement eventfully arrived the British Soldiers were furious, having fought Napoleon in the brutal Peninsular War in Portugal and then were transferred to the Americas instead of going home. They have been fighting for over four years.. They were exhausted. I feel that he was implying that the British wasn't trying to retake the US but were acting on a war that had been declared by the US. that wasn't the case. The trouble is with these 'short histories' is that they are too short.
this misunderstanding probably because the british empires name when it existed when in reality england was as much property of the crown as any the dominions everyone was subject of the crown
@@MegaBoilermaker Kind of. She’s monarch of the 15 nations of the Commonwealth Realms but holds a separate Crown for each making her a different monarch. For the Commonwealth of Nations she’s the head however this is ceremonial and the title is appointed by the Commonwealth itself, it’s not hereditary. As for the independence Britain used to be treated as equal however that stopped when the various countries gained full independence through things like their constitutions. That’s why the Queen has 15 different Crowns and why the British Parliament cannot pass laws that have any effect in countries like Canada or Australia.
John Green refers to them as Indians in this video because that's what most people in 1812 would have referred to them as. In normal conversation or in videos on different topics he favours Native American
A few things to remember. Yes, there were many settlers in Canada who sympathized with the American cause and helped them, but the majority did not. One reason is that a great many of them were former Americans who had gone North after the Revolution as United Empire Loyalists, having chosen loyalty to the Crown. Many had simply come North because of the availability of free land. Taxes in Canada were very low at this time because the British Government covered most of the costs of defense, fortifications and infrastructure while taxes South of the border were higher since the American Government had to cover all of these themselves. Republicanism was more expensive.
Unless you are studying History at an advanced level in the UK, the War of 1812 is not something you will ever learn about. It's an afterthought in British history. The American war of independence - or as it's known here, The American Revolution, is considered as a part of the greater war being fought against the French and Spanish at the time. It's a side show to 'the main event' in contrast to American history, where it is seen as a defining moment.
The "anglo-" suffix is used because of the latinised version of England "Anglia". There are plenty of other examples used, such as "franco-" for France, "Sino-" for China (the Latin name for China is Sina), and "Russo-" for Russia.
@@HenryGK Anglo is a Late Latin prefix used to denote English- in conjunction with another toponym or demonym. The word is derived from Anglia, the Latin name for England and still used in the modern name for its eastern region, East Anglia. Anglia and England both mean land of the Angles, a Germanic people originating in the north German peninsula of Angeln, that is, the region of today's Lower Saxony that joins the Jutland Peninsula. (There are various hypotheses for the origin of the name 'Angeln'.)
You should react to a video on Canadian history and how Canada became a country. Sadly not too many youtubers make videos about those topics because everyone is obsessed with US History
@@TheIceman567 The impressment was recovered British subjects and the trade was because the US was helping our enemy. Suspect the Indians had had enough of settler behaviour without anyone’s help. Just cover for attempting to take others’ property.
@@davidhollins870 the USA wasn’t helping France at all the treaty of friendship ended in 1800 after the quasi war. And Britain managed to impress between 6,000-9,000 American born citizens. So you’re denying historians who also state britain was aiding natives?
@@TheIceman567 Erm, the USA was trading war goods with France. You cannot give an exact figure on impressment? Looks like it was as difficult then to tell nationality as it is now. It was just naked aggression, while UK was tied down in Spain.
For more on this, the Canadian band the Arrogant Worms (yeah, I know) did a hilarious but accurate song called "War of 1812" and it will fill in all the blanks. It's also brutally honest 🤣.
As others no doubt will mention "Anglo" is an adjective for England, it comes from one of the founding tribes of the Kingdom of England, the Angles. It is also the origin of the name England which means "Land of the Angles". As for the term "Indians", from what I've heard American Natives prefer that term over "Native American" as it refers to natives in the US exclusively, like the First Nations in Canada. I believe CGP Grey made a video about the topic.
@@RB-747 What about them? @Iapetus McCool Maybe it was at some point, I'm no expert at this. But in Canada the natives are referred to as "First Nations", at least officially.
@@SweArdaia I think you're right about the First Nations part btw. My point is why would Native Americans think Indian refers to American Natives when it refers to, you know, actual people from India
@@RB-747 Because while "Indian" is a misnomer its a word that has taken root for well over 500 years and the natives in the US have embraced as a name for them specifically, unlike "Native American" which refers to a huge range of extremely diverse cultures spanning two continents. I'm basing this reasoning off a CGP Grey video, I think it's this one in case you're interested: th-cam.com/video/kh88fVP2FWQ/w-d-xo.html
Never underestimate the taxman in raising revenues. The UK even had window and chimney taxes for the various wars. Income tax was introduced during the Napoleonic wars. Used to be about 2 old pence in the pound. (The good old days). Another good video, Bonnie Lass.
@@iansheridan3633 Though we didn't have a feudal system, riots were more because of the industrial revolution. The bloodshed in France probably had everywhere frightened because of the scale of it. Napoleon was more a threat because of the traditional rivalry and balance of power threat. He had ambitions well beyond France.
In Denmark we had a king called Erik Plovpenning, literally translated to "plow penny" because he put a tax of a penny on every plow owned. He was not a very popular King.
Not sure if you're interested but if you have any plans to look more into the naval side of the Napoleonic wars at some point in the future, the Channel 'Maritime GB' have a series of short videos covering the main actions of Admiral Nelson's career that I would definitely recommend. The videos in chronological order are: Horatio Nelson at Toulon & Corsica 1793-4 Horatio Nelson & The Battle of Cape St Vincent 1797 Admiral Nelson & The Battle of Santa Cruz 1797 Admiral Nelson & The Battle of the Nile 1798 Admiral Nelson & The Battle of Copenhagen 1801 Trafalgar & The Death of Nelson 1805 The total runtime of the series is about 30 minutes, so not too much of a time sink, and they give a good overview of Nelson's career and why he is so revered.
Drachinifel (who is pretty much a go to for historical naval stuff on youtube) also did a series on Nelsons career, as well as videos on 1812 battles on the great lakes, as well as USS Constitution.
@@shaniamonde7341 Drachinifel is the gold standard, though if I remember correctly, his series on Nelson is missing its final part. Still agree that they are well worth a watch though. Guy really knows his stuff.
The Constitution and Victory were in active service at the same time. Guess how it would have turned out if the Victory had been sent to America. I doubt the Constitution would have lasted long.
It's interesting to hear you say that you feel Canada is an extension of the US because as an Englishman I see it as an extension of the UK. The invasion of the 60's was a music and culture invasion. It wasn't just The Beatles as you also had The Who, The Rolling Stones, Donovan, The Animals, The Kinks, The Troggs and many more. The second invasion happened in the 80's. The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star was the first video ever shown on MTV.
Culturally and politically it’s probably more similar to the UK, but geographically, and in look, feel, vibes, etc. it’s much more similar to the U.S. I’ve seen parts of Canada that I’ve mistaken for the U.S., and we do a lot of business there as well.
"Anglo" is basically a word for England, so Anglo-US relations would be how we discribe ourselves now, and I have a few friends stateside who are Anglophiles because they love the UK (for some daft reason).
@@Paul-hl8yg I don't think liking places is a bad thing, hate is silly though and normally reflects the insecurities of those doing it. I suppose in some cases they can be combined, using the hate of somewhere as a springboard to like somewhere else. An example is 'the grass is always greener on the other side', hating where they are to laud somewhere else. History is still used by some for less than the kind of objective purpose they claim, and on TH-cam you have to be careful with some channels who can slip in bigoted nonsense.
As said elsewhere Anglo refers to anything relating to England (from the original germanic settlers Anglo-Saxons (amongst many others)). Anglophile - someone who loves British/English things Anglophobe - Technically someone who fears England/Britain, but most often used to represent hatred. Anglo is also used as a reference term like the war of 1812 being an Anglo-American war, the shortest war in history being the Anglo-Zanzibar war (38 minutes if you want to know)etc etc etc. The republicans he refers to are not republicans as in the current political party, but rather republicans who support a country being a republic (like US and Revolutionary France) rather than a monarchy (like the UK). Also, the USS Constitution was/is not a battleship, it is a frigate, a big one sure but still a frigate, compaired to an actual ship-of-the-line it wouldn't stand a chance. It did secure a handful of wins against lone British ships, smaller than itself which were often captured from France and not in the best condition. As for who won, well coming from a British subject, I view it based on the war objectives, the US' objectives were the annexation of Canada and changes to British policy at sea, they got neither of these things so I'd call that failing your objectives. .... but I might be biased :)
I wouldn't conflate England with Britain. Anglophilia/phobia are specifically defined as the like/dislike of the English [source: Oxford English Dictionary].
Many more moved to Upper Canada because there were zero taxes there (Yes, I realize how ironic that is). During the War of 1812 the majority of the population of Upper Canada between Detroit and Niagara were either decidedly pro-American or, at best, passively neutral. Newark (Niagara-On-The-Lake) was burned not by Americans, but by pro-American traitors. The "bloody assize" of 1814 saw 19 pro-Americans charged with treason in one sitting. Most were hanged.
Aw, I just meant the look and feel of Canada is very similar - didn't mean that in a condescending way. Fair point about America, though I'd say people use the term more as shorthand for United States of America, since we have "America" in the name of our country. You can be referred to as Canadian, but there's no other term we really have to describe what country we're from. United Statesian?
I am not Canadian so I wouldn't know but I always got the feeling that a lot of Canadians didn't like being compared with the US? Kind of like how the Scotland and Wales don't like being compared to England even?
Apparently many actually prefer being called Indians (see CGP Grays video). "Native American" is so vague that it can any native group in all of the America's i.e. north, central, and south.
The War of 1812 was a victory for the British Empire in that Canada came into her own and the Canadians proved they weren’t simply Britishers in North America, but were a nation the Canadian Nation, not a people desiring of the spread of the American Revolution but a people loyal to the Crown., whilst at the same time establishing themselves as 100 percent Canadian,. It was the birth of a great nation.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
@@TheIceman567 errr no they didn't lmao the Americans won like 2 or 3 battles Britain and Canada won the majority it only takes a quick Google search to realise that

Re: Admiral of the Fleet Sir George Cockburn. I take it that the atrocious mis-pronunciation of that gentleman's surname WAS a consciously ironic comment on Americans' well-known inability to pronounce even mildly 'challenging' English names correctly (and not just when they end in _ham_ or _shire_ )? Just for the record: it's pronounced CO-BURN !!
Basically it was a draw, but as the US failed at its attempt to take over the British territory of Canada, and the British succeeded in it's attempt to hold its territory, points to a British victory, in the sense that the British goal was achieved whilst the US goal failed, so strategically a British Victory, but in reality a war which just set the status quo in stone, so also a proud moment in US history.
The USA had two main goals at the beginning of the War of 1812: 1) STOP the British Blockade that was hobbling The USA's economy; AND 2) STOP Britain's harassment and impressment of US sailors into the Royal Navy. The USA met both of these goals at the end of the War by treaty negotiations.
The War of 1812. From the British point of view, probably the most pointless war we ever fought but it did keep the USA out of Canada. More significant for the USA, but more for their domestic politics than anything else. And the most famous battle (New Orleans) took place after the peace treaty had been signed. But Andrew Jackson and Winfield Scott benefited from it.
There also two goals of The USA that were met and secured by the treaty negotiations: 1) ENDING the British blockade that was set up to financially hobble The USA; and 2) ENDING the British from kidnapping and impressment of US sailors into the Royal Navy.
British seamen were prime targets for the Royal Navy press gangs, as they knew the ropes, literally. Merchant vessels would be stopped leaving or entering port, and likely fellows impressed into the King's service. So British seamen took the option if it arose, of working American ships. The hope was they wouldn't be grabbed for war service, also the pay and conditions on American ships was better. The officers less autocratic. Reclaiming British seamen and preventing French war trade were both reasons friction arose on the high seas. I saw a programme about the American frigate of that era. They were built from a resilient timber ( yellow oak ?) That resisted canon shot. Hence the R N found it difficult to deal with them. The film Master and Commander has the invincible frigate as a French ship, in the original book it is an American vessel in the 1812/14 war. Hollywood didn't like that configuration though, and changed its nationality. Sorry, I grew up at a time when cowboys and Indians were very popular on TV. I know it's an anomaly but native American's is such a mouthful. A lot of them migrated north into Canada when they were being harassed by the US, which is why the mounties wee issued the red tunic. If they had worn UK police blue, it would have associated them with the US cavalry chasing them down south. The police force in Britain were dressed in blue to disassociate them in the minds of British citizens from the red clad militia who had previously been used to put down restlessness. So the same reasoning produced two different uniforms. The burning of the White house is a famous incident. It wasn't know as the White House before then, it was whitewashed to cover the smoke stained stonework, and so gained its name. In general this war is barely known about in Britain. Waterloo and Trafalgar are the events people are aware of.
Angles and saxons were germanic tribes from todays Netherlands. They invaded the Roman territories in Britannia. They ruled Britain until 1066, that is until William the Conqueror took over.
Fun Fact.. LOL Justinians generals... Bel-something (slips my tongue) Smashed the Visigoths at their new home in Northern Africa before heading towards Rome to "liberate" back into the Empire from the Lombards I believe? or Ostrogoths. ... Was it a punitive smash, or a strategic smash.. .. seems a bit out of the way.
@@MarkVrem now just hold on a minute, what do you mean by "liberate". It's about restoring the might of Rome and not let the dream die. The empire will rise again!!! 476 never forget
Except they were using slightly different calendars. I'd be curious to see what the deviation in days was between the Julian calendar of the time and a Gregorian calendar backdated to 410 AD.
The American Republican Party developed from the Whig party. That’s the same name used by what would be considered left-wing, change society, party of Britain. It was the Whig party that Lincoln joined and the name changed later. The French were very much appreciated and approved of by Americans because in strict military terms it was the French who won the Revolutionary war for the Americans. So much so, that the French bankrupted themselves and the resulting poverty led directly to their revolution. Rather ironic.
Anglo means English. The Anglos were a Germanic tribe who settled in Britain alongside the Saxons in the 5th century. Both tribes formed different kingdoms who went on to become England in the 10th century. thus English are called Anglos.
There was an episode of QI that revealed it's now okay to refer to Native Americans as Indians, apparently, though I'm unable to find it right now. Jeremy Clarkson commented, "It's a whole different world since I left," which... yeah, it was a whole different world before as well, Jezza, you just didn't notice. The War Nerd aka. Gary Brecher started a nice little series as well, The Twelve Days of 1812, and although he didn't finish, it gets into the War of 1812 in a nicely digestible way as well.
I thought it was a pretty fair analysis of the basic facts and I think it was pretty fair to say that neither America nor Britain really won although I think it could be argued that Canada won because invasion was prevented. As a Brit I do feel that we did let the natives down by capitulating over the native lands for political reasons in Europe and I think the timing was on America's side as no one in Britain wanted the war with America after the Napoleonic wars so it was not something the British Government wanted to commit to any more than it had to.
Britain pretty much achieved all its objectives. The Americans achieved none of theirs (ie taking over all of North America). I'd say it's pretty clear Britain (including Canada) won the war.
The USA had two main goals at the beginning of the War of 1812: 1) STOP the British blockade that was financially strangulating the young USA; AND 2) STOP the British kidnapping and impressment of US sailors into the British Royal Navy. Both of these goals had been met, and were secured by treaty negotiations in Belgium.* * The War of 1812, Perry's Monument, South Bass Island (also known as: Put-In-Bay), Lake Erie, Ohio, National Park Service.
The musical phenomenon known as the British Invasion preceded the Beatles by a few years when two or three UK acts reached Top 40 status in the US, which had never happened before. It was this awakening to music in the UK that opened the door to the Beatles - and the flood that followed.
We lost the British Invasion. England took American music, and injected it with so much racism that we forget America isn’t the only racist country in the world
USA attacked Canada to seize it while U.K. was tied down in fighting in Spain - the rest is ex post facto justification for aggression. It is the same as the USS Maine for the Spanish-American War.
Brief history of the starting major political parties in the US: The Democratic-Republican party (at the time sometimes shorted to Republican Party, hence the use of that term in the video) was one of the first two major parties in the United States, along with the Federalist party. The Federalist parties support collapsed in 1816, leaving about 8 years in which the Democratic-Republican party had effective single party status. This ended when it splintered into the Democratic Party and the National Republican Party. Yes, that Democratic Party and no, not that Republican Party as the National Republican Party merged with the Whig Party after 1832. So as of the 1836 election, the two primary parties in the US are the Democratic Party and the Whig Party. The Republican Party doesn't emerge until 1854 as a party in opposition to slavery, and it isn't until the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 that the Republican Party supplanted the Whig Party as one of the two dominant parties in the United States.
@@SoGal_YT Completely understandable. I hope my comment is also helpful for some of your other viewers. Have a wonderful day and I look forward to your next video!
Over here in Britain, we don't really learn much about The War of 1812 at all, also to us The American Revolution has another name, The American War of Independence. American history is somewhat overshadowed in History classes by the Romans, Vikings, Tudors, the French Revolution and the World Wars. I see The War of 1812 as the closest thing to a draw in terms of wars. I've sometimes made comparisons between Napoleonic Britain and World War America as they both provided supplies to their allies and both were safe from invasion due to a large body of water. Also, as many have said before "Anglo" effectively means English. For example, there is the term The Anglosphere (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglosphere) which refers to all countries that speak English. Coming from the Angles who founded the land of the Angles/England.
As a rule i wouldn't recommend crash course or anything much from the green brothers.. they have a tendency to.... editorialise a little (i have the same opinion of extra credits) when it comes to history on TH-cam anything from the time ghost conglomerate is basically the top tier (they are very very thorough) and other than that the channels you have been using are very good. Of course there are even more heterodox views on history, but for someone just learning about the events that level of ..... complexity isn't required.
As a Military History/Political Science buff, I am enjoying your reactions to these videos'. To answer a couple of your questions, the two political parties at the time were the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans (more often referred to as "Republicans"). The Democratic-Republicans were the party of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison and would eventually be replaced by the present day Democratic party. The Federalists were the party of John Adams and Alexander Hamilton and would be replaced by the Whig party who would in time be replaced by the present day Republican party. Germanic BTW, William Henry Harrison was president for only 31 days (March 4, 1841 - April 4, 1841). To get a more basic look at Military History, you may want to look at the 8 part series "War and Civilization" which is on TH-cam.
I believe the Hartford Convention was also where the Federalists wanted the New England states to secede from the union. Which probably didn't help the party either LOL... -- or maybe that was another convention earlier in the war lol.
Jared Kavanagh wrote a massive alternate history story about this called Decades of Darkness. Long story short, it doesn't end well because without New England, the US gets dominated by expansionist slaveholders.
Yeah the British "invasion" that started with the Beatles was in 1964 and not 1961 as he said in the video, i mean if i remember correctly the Beatles first album was released in 1962.
As a Brit, I am sad for the British troops and sailors that fought in these wars because they had to do all their fighting 3000 miles from home and that was a very long way in those days. It always seemed Britain was also fighting the world and its dog. Mostly it was our own making of course, The USA has picked up the baton that we once held, and as the American people know, It's tough at the top and many wonderful people are lost in the pursuit of world influence. However, God Bless America.....
The UK did drop nukes on America during the cold War in simulated war games in 1960 and 1961. The war games were to test the USA's air defence systems to see how they would hold up against an attack from the soviet Union and ultimately failed twice. These war games were classified until the 90's so the American public still had faith in their air defence so although no actual nukes were dropped in the war test scenarios the Americans defences were breeched twice.
We're not an extension of anything. Canada has been an entirely independent country since 1982. The Commonwealth isn't what a lot of people seem to think it is.
From my understanding, yes we got what we wanted, to get the Americans, out of Canada, the Canadians believe they won. I believe there were 2 members of the Cochranes family involved. We were also blockading the slave trade. Anglo-Irish is an example means English and Irish. So part English. The Napoleonic war, was in essence a world war. If you look up Thomas Cochrane, gives you an idea of where it was, he seems to be everywhere.
Awwwwhh! Bless your Star & Striped socks the fact you started the video saying because it's from a American teacher there may be some bias......shows your a smart Lass to me man! This is weird everyday I pull out my phone it'll always be on 18:12 weird!?.....Though there were other things going on then, us Brits were fighting the French....again! Saying that we were fighting the French during the War of Independence too, just saying 😉
One way I (as a Brit) have heard this war described is as a surprising victory on land for the British, and a surprising victory at sea for the Americans. Supposedly Britain should have been confident about its naval supremacy, but instead suffered defeats at sea; whereas we might have been nervous about our ability to field a strong land army on another continent (after all we’ve never had a strong land army even in Europe, and we failed to support our army logistically during the Revolutionary War) and yet our land army won a string of victories.
@@jaimiehardy5652 the main reason is there was no great naval campaign, just small skirmishes etc. The British fleets were kept where they were needed most which wasn't in north America.
@@theant9821 I agree, however one of the major reasons for many 'surprises' when encounters took place was the Colonists use of white oak in ships construction. Probably by accident! Serendipitous for them!
I don't think the defeats at sea were because of White oak - the defeats were mostly between a large heavily armed, over crewed heavy frigate and a smaller vessel. The mission of the USA frigates was commerce raining not defeating Royal Naval vessels on 'equal' terms. When a British heavy frigate fought a USA frigate it won. In WW2 parlance they were pocket battle ships fighting light cruisers. Guess who usually wins in that scenario?
Anglo just means English/British, the term comes from the Angles, one of the germanic tribes who invaded England (along with the Saxons) after the collapse of Roman Britain, which is where the term Anglo-Saxon comes from. For example the Anglosphere is a term for english speaking nations that share historic ties with the UK mostly due to colonialism.
Indeed, the very name of 'England' is derived from 'Angle-land'. Which seems kind of like Saxon erasure, but I guess they still have the OG Free State of Saxony and it'd be pretty confusing if there were two of those.
My great great great great uncle Thomas Hughes fought in France/Spain and was wounded 3 times twice in the legs once in the eye(left), He was transported from the front and recovered, he was sent to a quieter place, he was sent to Canada, as his ship docked to find out that the Americans with the help of French settlers attacked and burnt the Canadian capitol York, so once organised and settled troops sent to Canada where reimbarked and were they sailed up the Potomac river, after a battle they marched on and took Washington, ordered not to touch private houses, They burned Whitehouse, Treasury ect, while officers ate the dinner that was left on the table, My uncle a sergeant and put torch to Whitehouse, when he retired he became a Chelsea Pensioner. After talks where peace was settled America won a battle at New Orleans, war was finished, to late the hero's
The war of 1812 wasn't taught in the UK (at least when I was at school (mid 60s to mid 70s). I've heard it mentioned often enough, and, being familiar with the Napoleonic wars, I would have thought I'd know more about this one. But no, not a thing in general British education... Although the raid by John Paul Jones on Whitehaven in 1770something, was. But maybe that's because Whitehaven is just up the coast from me. Something else you said in the vid wasn't quite right. Where you mentioned Canadians 'paying homage' to The Queen? No, it's not like that. No homage is paid, and if it were, it would be to The Crown... Oh bugger, more explanation... Think of the The Crown as a multinational company and the The Queen (King) as its CEO. So Canada recognised that an affiliation to The Crown was just good business. Edited because... alcohol.
@@SoGal_YT That's probably from where your city area got its name, then :). In 'our' Whitehaven I think someone from the US army/navy comes over for the anniversary every year. Not sure on that though, it may just been for the documentary I watched.
Anglo can refer to a few different things but the two most common are Anglo Saxons an ethnicity which English people were derived from and one of the few big ethnicities along with Britons, Picts, Bernicians, and Scots, amongst others that came to make up modern Britain. Anglo can also be used loosely to refer to the language of the people and the Anglosphere in general so the modern nations of the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand even though they may not ethnically be all Anglo Saxons if that makes sense. It is certainly how for example adversaries of the US and UK such as Putin and Russia regard us. They refer to us all as Anglo Saxons. Did you know in WWI that for a brief period of time in winter 1914 the Brits and Germans put their weapons down and played football and exchanged gifts? It was known as the Christmas Truce. During the truce one of the Germans said to a British soldier that he was a Saxon from Saxony and the British troop was an Anglo Saxon so why are they fighting? Check out this video th-cam.com/video/NaBJhmkDKmc/w-d-xo.html
I think when he referred to French loving Republicans he was talking about the Democratic Republican party. I could be wrong but I think I remembered some people called the Democratic Republicans just Republicans for short hand purpose. Once again I could be wrong.
The Quasi-War was an undeclared war fought from 1798 to 1800 between the United States and France. Most of the fighting took place in the Caribbean and off the Atlantic coastline of the United States
I was trying to remember when the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan show, late 63? Early 64? But the ' invasion' included other British groups who took advantage of the Beatles success to make it there. That flood was in 64.
@@andrewclayton4181 9th Feb 64 when they were on Ed's show. Also on that show-as part of the `Oliver` cast ensemble (Playing the part of the `Artful Dodger`) was a certain Davy Jones - later of `Monkees` fame.
Sorry, but I forgot one other thing. "Anglo" is a reference to England/Great Britain. The term comes from the Angles, a germanic tribe that invaded England in the 5th Century just as the Romans had abandoned the island. An "Anglophile" is one who loves/admires/respects Britain while an "Anglophobe" is the opposite.
On what to call Native Americans/Indians, CGPGrey has an interesting video on this subject here: th-cam.com/video/kh88fVP2FWQ/w-d-xo.html Long story short, misnomer though it is, it's the term many of the native peoples of the USA have gotten used to and feel "Native American" is not a valid description because it's not specific enough. I personally have met a few people from the Navajo, Iroquois and Seminoles and they all preferred the term "Indian".
I'll have to check it out. I'd defer to the natives to tell me what they want to be called. On the other hand, I wonder if people from India feel disrespected by it.
I've always thought that indian comes from indigenous, used as a collective term in countries where there are several groups/tribes/cultures and a collective name doesn't exist, also used in Australia in the past. The confusing bit is the name of India, but that is a confusion that goes back millennia.
@Nigel S. What we're taught here is that the first explorers thought they were in India when they got to the new world, and erroneously started calling the natives "Indians," and the name stuck. So it was a mistake to begin with.
@@SoGal_YT Yes, I've heard that, but it doesn't explain why aboriginal Australians were also called Indians? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian And it is normally associated with Christopher Columbus, who didn't speak English!
The "Canadians " include a large number of "Empire loyalists" who had left the US after the War of Independance due to persecution by the secesionists and the French in Quebec were quite happy as they had more rights and freedoms than they would have had in France
It's really nice to see you teaching us Brits about some of your history, SoGal. Your good-hearted and open-minded attitude really is a compliment to you.
The War of 1812 accomplished two things. American independence from Britain was cemented. The American invasion created an Canadian identity and Canadian patriotism
@@archivesoffantasy5560 …. The Americans tried seizing Canada in the both the wars of independence and of 1812. American forces were resisted by both British troops and Canadian militia. After American independence the colonial tories loyal to Britain moved to Canada. Canadian national identity is firmly based on “we’re not Americans” starting in that era
Anglo just means English, from the Angles, hence Anglo-Saxon. This is why it properly refers to the English and not the British, although it is frequently used incorrectly to mean British
Anglo Saxon = English. England derived from Englaland, which means ‘Land of the Angles’. The Angles, Saxons and Jutes were Germanic tribes that arrived in England in the 5th century.
The US anthem was "My Country Tis of Thee" (God Save the Queen tune) until 1931 except with different words. At least unofficially it was. Even the modern Star-Spangled Banner is a British song.
‘Anglo’ is a term to describe things English (or even British), as ‘Franco’ describes things French. Anglophone, Anglophile etc. In history, after 410 AD with the departing of the Romans from Britannia, the main part of the island of Great Britain was invaded/settled by the Germanic tribes of the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, and Frisians. Most of them being Angles. The language they spoke was Angle-ish, later Aengle-ish, or as we know it ‘English’. ‘Franco’ comes from the first name for the French - the Franks. Angle - Anglo. Frank - Franco. Hope that helps to explain.
@@ShainThomas It's referencing the Democratic-Republican Party, which was one of the two major US political parties at the time (the other being the Federalist).
A little known fact is that the Americans took the war to the British Isles, USS Argus was sailing up and down the Bristol Channel, capturing a few merchant vessels until HMS Pelican caught up with her, and USS Argus was captured, the US captain was buried with full military honours when they landed at Portsmouth, maybe Plymouth.
Americans never talk about the battle of Stoney Creek when the British army outnumbered 3 to 1 made a daring night attack, and using only Tomahawks and Bayonets routed the American army capturing Two generals.
The ambassador to the US from France was general Thurreau the leader of the republican revolutionaries during the French Terror, so the relationship was strong.
You might want to watch a video on the Haitian Revolution because Napoleon did send troops to Haiti and was part of his ill defined idea for an American empire, should he fail in Europe but it did eventually lead to the Louisana Purchase and Napoleon regretting his stance toward Haitian leader Toussaint Louverture. Also you might want to see a video on the British PM Spencer Perceval as he not only (sort of) caused the 1812 war but was responsible for keeping Wellington in Spain for so long.
This is what gets me most annoyed, England held a small sliver of 13 eastern states never going deeper into the Americas because our power based was sea based. The Spanish, Portuguese, French and Dutch had territories to the south, west and north. Yet England always gets the blame for everything in America. We were out in 1776 everything after that was all you and them! This genocide was all done when America was independent and incharge. The reason Americans are anti-monarchy is you are raised to be anti-monarchy, that's what indoctrination is.. it's why education now is so left-wing, get them young enough and you can shape the way they think, until they learn and experience for themselves. It's why the youth are left-wing and the older members of society who have worked, toiled and suffered are conservative/republican.
Americans have a righteousness fantasy. Every act in their history has some invented moral justification added to it. And so, instead of the revolution being about a relatively small pack of aristocratic slave-holders who didn't want to pay their taxes, it becomes a narrative of "freedom" and "oppression".
@@andrewcharles459 Americans definitely define themselves as a moral authority, definitely see themselves as the global good guys. But in reality they've cause a lot of trouble in pursuit of the almighty dollar and it's support mechanism the petro-dollar. They justify it with fictional accounts of atrocity and "evil empires"... Gaddafi once a terrorist sympathiser decades before, was about to receive a UN humanitarian award just before he was assassinated, he was also about to bring in a gold backed African currency to buy and sell oil with, guess which one got him killed?
"Anglo" means basically "English" or British and "phobia" is a fear (often irrational fear) of something. Meanwhile a "phile" loves/likes something. Erogo: Anglophob: someone who hates english&british people/stuff Anglophile: someone who loves english&british people/stuff
"Anglophobia/philia" is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary exclusively in English terms, so I guess one who dislikes/likes _Britain_ would be a "britophobe/phile". In fact, as a British (Welsh) person, it's compulsory for me to be anglophobic sometimes - specifically whenever England play rugby ;) - but I've nothing against Britain per se :)
@@connoroneill9406 aquaphobe, aquaphile (chemical terms for materials that like or dislike reacting with water). In principle all of these terms work this way.
The War of 1812 is not something I knew much about until I looked it up on Wiki, but Canadian friends have mentioned it with pride. But there was one reference to it I did know. In the 2009 film 'In the Loop', the abrasive Malcolm Tucker, a British government official at a conference in Washington about a possible Middle East 'intervention' has a particularly trying meeting with a sneering anti-British American general in the White House. Irritated, Tucker says " Look, we came here in 1814 and burnt this city to the ground, and I'm all in favour of doing it again!"
From what I've seen of 1812 stuff The US was willing to give up large parts of northern territory but the British couldn't be seen stealing territory while negotiations in europe were to stop france being carved up by other countries. As a result Britain took control over 2 north west territories and gave them back some time later. The claim by the US that they won seems to base around the fact they won a big battle after the deal was struck because of poor communications of the day
6:20 He means democratic-republicans as opposed to federalists. The political landscape at the time was trying to figure out how much to centralise power in the new nation.
USS Constitution was not a battleship (or at the time, a 'line of battle ship' or 'ship of the line') it was and is a frigate, a bloody big frigate, but a frigate. It had 24-pounder long guns and 32-pounder carronades (short, light, short-range cannon throwing a heavy ball), rated at 44 guns. The standard British frigate of the time had an 18-pounder main armament, rated at 38 guns. The British replied to the large American frigates, in part, by slicing the top deck off three 74 gun ships of the line to produce even larger frigates, with 32-pounder long guns and 42-pounder carronades, rated at 50 guns. They never met the American heavy frigates in action.

This is so American other than that no comment
Drawn of History has a 3 part War of 1812 series --- that actually utilizes some "Reaction Video" peeps as voice characters. So covering them might be something you might be interested in. Since they are obviously very creative at marketing and history. I feel Drawn of History 1812-series is far superior to what this guy slapped together. Even if it is drawn as something that seems to aim for a South Park audience. Not meant as an offense to him. His vid is obviously older and maybe dated by now. As people get more creative on TH-cam. Anyways, the only thing on the USS Constitution I watched (being from Boston) is.... Drachinifel channel USS-Constitution episode about 17min long. Full of Naval jargon for the curious mind I guess lol
The war ended Status Quo Ante Bellum which means everything was left as it was before the war. The British didn't really know about the US front because they didn't care. Napoleon was more interesting.
The US lost more battles, suffered higher casualties and lost to generally smaller opposing forces. The reason the US saw it as something as a victory is because the US was a small and relatively weak nation and they picked a fight with the most powerful force on the planet. Even though the US was successfully invaded, it showed they had the resolve to go head to head with basically anyone in order to protect their interests.
It cost the US more and the UK barely noticed it was happening, but it still helped the US to take centre stage a century later.
When he mentioned to Republicans, he was referring to people who supported the Republic rather than the political party.
Remember also, the 13 colonies still thought of themselves as British until about 1800 when they started to think of themselves as Colombians, then later, Americans.
A few First Nation Americans studied at my uni. They preferred First Nation Peoples. Over here, we don't often call them Indians because we have a large population of Indians. From India.
As a brit we don’t really think of the war at all due to the whole Napoleonic war thing , but when we do look at the war its seen as a defensive victory because the U.S set out to get Canada and failed
Fair enough.
Also burning the white house was fun
@@ianmills9266 true
@Ally Wakka it was on the basis the British objective was to maintain Canada. The American objective was to take Canada and subsequently lost five invasion attempts.
@Ally Wakka yep.
Anglo is the prefix used to describe someone of English ancestry. It comes from the one of the four Germanic peoples (The Angles) that migrated to the British isles when the Romans left in around the 4th century and later founded England.
was gonna write this but you simplified it perfectly 👌👌
The Saxons who moved there merged with the Angles, and the language influence became known as Anglo-Saxon.
Land of the Angles Angleland/England
There is still East Anglia
1) It was a a few more than four Germanic tribes. The Angles, Saxons, Jutes (from Jutland, Denmark, so in effect the prototype Vikings). Geats (from Gotland, Sweden) the Sutton Hoo burial, thought to be that of King Rædwald, originated from Sweden. Then there's the Frisians from Frisia, which I think is coastal Holland. Franks from Francia, the Germanic people named after their small throwing axes (rather like the Saxons being named for their knives) who would eventually become the French (and Germans).
You have to remember that all these German tribes bar the Jutes and Geats, were subject to Rome for a long time and served as Roman auxiliaries in Britannica before the Roman withdrawal. They knew how weak the land was without the legions.
In most ways Canada just likes to do the opposite of what America does. We had to fight to not be absorbed into the US so we had to cling on to things that would distinguish us from you. Like having a smaller population, being more peaceful, getting along with most countries. Things like accepting the queen and some of those traditions. Being part of the commonwealth, along with the strong French Canadian culture. We also entered both world wars when they started instead of waiting a few years.
Canada were valuable & reliable allies in the world wars!
Yeah, I totally get it. But I love Canada and I think a lot of Americans (U.S.) feel a kinship to it because of the location, and our countries have a lot of the same look and feel to them. There are a lot of places in Canada I’ve seen that I’ve mistaken for the U.S. for example. That’s all I meant by my comment. I think I should have clarified it better in the video.
@@SoGal_YT As a Canadian, the monarchy has also just been a part of my history. I really don't blame Americans for being proud of their sense of independence and democracy, that's your history and it's pretty cool, to be honest.

@@SoGal_YT canadians really take pride from being not like Americans, that’s like the whole of the Canadian identity lol..
@@LordOfElysium it seems to me the american identity is about not being british/canadian. the american flag is a knock-off of the british east india company. the american anthem tune is an 18th century british drinking song. canada begins playing rugby and starts gridiron football and that becomes american gridiron football. british rounders begins to develop into baseball in canada and that becomes american baseball. the oldest horse breed, the canadian horse, becomes the morgan horse. the labrador retriever began as a working dog for fishermen in newfoundland over centuries, the british developed it into the labrador retriever and that becomes the american labrador. apple pie is from 13th century britain and that becomes american. the commonwealth adopts a certain size gallon so americans adopt the alternative gallon and it becomes american. etc., notice a trend?
This war has some very interesting battles where the British and Canada team up with the naitive Americans. Even escaped black slaves join up and fight America.

Here in Canada, we're taught in school that the War of 1812 was one of the most formative events for us as a country, and is still a huge part of our national identity. It's very much considered the first beginnings of the emergence of a uniquely Canadian identity, and many of our national and folk heroes (i.e. Maj. Gen. Sir Isaac Brock, Laura Secord, etc.) are figures from the war, there are countless reenactments of some of the major battles every year (i.e. the Battle of Lundy's Lane, the Battle of Queenston Heights, etc.), plenty of the forts built during the war as well as many of the battlefields are still preserved as museums or monuments (i.e. Fort Henry in Kingston, Ontario, Fort York in Toronto, etc.), and there are plenty of folk songs and other music still played today which comemorate the war (i.e. "The Bold Canadian" which is considered our oldest patriotic song, or "Macdonnell on the Heights" which was written by the late great folk singer Stan Rogers sometime in the 1970s or '80s). I even remember it from a Canadian kids' sitcom where one of the characters is a teacher who always teaches the same lesson every day, and she always starts off by saying "Who has heard of the War of 1812?"
So yeah, this war is a pretty big deal here in Canada!
Big up Canada, repelled the yanks

Lot of respect for Canada here in UK.
The 1812 naval war was very interesting
An American author wrote a book titled SIX FRIGATES
It's about the birth of the US navy
And I will extract certain details from it
The USA knew they could not compete with the British navy both economically and resources
They decided to build 6 frigates
4 super frigates which would be larger and more powerful with 44 24 pounder long cannons and 2 smaller frigates with 18 pounder cannons
The typical British frigates had 38 18 pounders no match for the super frigates
The Barbary pirates would demand payment from nations for free passage in the Mediterranean
The USA refused to pay and sent a naval task force including one of the super frigates unfortunately the frigate ran aground and was captured by the pirates and later destroyed by an american boarding party
Now the 1812 war
The first encounter between a British frigate and the super frigate constitution was a disaster for the British
The British captain would have been wise to avoid battle but his career would have been over as this was unthinkable
Two more times this happened and the British admiralty forbid any more battles between frigates and the super frigates they also converted 2 deck battleships to single deck 24 pounder frigates
The one battle that was fought on equal terms was between hms shannon 18 pounder and the uss chesapeake 18 pounder
shannon won and the timbers from the Chesapeake were used to build a mill in southern England
Britain also captured the super frigate uss President
And it was renamed hms president
For both sides it was a pointless war
I think when he said French Republicans he meant it in the Anti-Monarchy sense. America being a Republic and Britain a Constitutional Monarchy. Considering Napoleon declared himself Emperor, France wasn't very republican at the time.
"There was no Twitter" The launch of Twitter marks the official last point at which anyone can call a time period "the good old days", because Twitter stains even that which it does not directly touch.
He blames it on lack of twitter... Drawn of History youtube channel, I feel has a far superior telling of the war of 1812, in a 3-part-series. In that series they basically say the USA knew about Britain passing that ruling.. .. But basically told the Brits to "F" off... declared war anyways cause Canada and Native lands.
So as a Graduate Student currently writing a paper about a part of this subject, he is driving me nuts with his description of Jackson and Horseshoe Bend. Earlier in the video he talks about Tecumseh, and his movement. What he doesn't talk about is that in 1811 Tecumseh traveled south to the Creek Nation in hopes of growing his confederacy. Many Creeks found this message appealing, and in 1813, the Red Sticks who wanted to return to traditional ways of life, attacked other Creeks and eventually Fort Mims. This caused the United States to take action, with the ultimate conclusion being the Battle of Horseshoe Bend.
Portraying Jackson as being a mastermind in pitting Creeks against one another isn't what occurred. The divisions in the Creeks went back well before 1811 when Benjamin Hawkins was appointed as the Indian Agent (for the Federal government) for all lands south of the Ohio River. He started to implement what was called the "Plan of Civilization", which the video poster talks about with the farming, etc. When the Red Sticks attacked, one of their first targets were Creek headmen who were more aligned with the Plan of Civilization. They understood that eliminating those leaders would benefit them and their goals of moving back towards a traditional lifestyle.
Its a super interesting portion of U.S. history that is lumped into the War of 1812, when in reality it is a foreign policy action here at home. It is varyingly called either the Creek War of the Red Stick War.
He left an awful lot out. the battle in Canada lasted two years. with lots of decisive battles. In 1814 when British reinforcement eventfully arrived the British Soldiers were furious, having fought Napoleon in the brutal Peninsular War in Portugal and then were transferred to the Americas instead of going home. They have been fighting for over four years.. They were exhausted. I feel that he was implying that the British wasn't trying to retake the US but were acting on a war that had been declared by the US. that wasn't the case. The trouble is with these 'short histories' is that they are too short.
The Commonwealth is full of independent nations, Britain by agreement is treated as equal not a superior.
The Queen is however regarded as the head of the Commonwealth.
this misunderstanding probably because the british empires name when it existed when in reality england was as much property of the crown as any the dominions everyone was subject of the crown
@@MegaBoilermaker Kind of. She’s monarch of the 15 nations of the Commonwealth Realms but holds a separate Crown for each making her a different monarch. For the Commonwealth of Nations she’s the head however this is ceremonial and the title is appointed by the Commonwealth itself, it’s not hereditary.
As for the independence Britain used to be treated as equal however that stopped when the various countries gained full independence through things like their constitutions. That’s why the Queen has 15 different Crowns and why the British Parliament cannot pass laws that have any effect in countries like Canada or Australia.
For the Indian vs Native American issue, I can recommend the CPG Grey video on it.
John Green refers to them as Indians in this video because that's what most people in 1812 would have referred to them as. In normal conversation or in videos on different topics he favours Native American
USA is part of the anglosphere, with UK, Canada, New Zealand and Australia - in that they speak English and share similar culture, law, etc.
That’s very true.
A few things to remember. Yes, there were many settlers in Canada who sympathized with the American cause and helped them, but the majority did not. One reason is that a great many of them were former Americans who had gone North after the Revolution as United Empire Loyalists, having chosen loyalty to the Crown. Many had simply come North because of the availability of free land. Taxes in Canada were very low at this time because the British Government covered most of the costs of defense, fortifications and infrastructure while taxes South of the border were higher since the American Government had to cover all of these themselves. Republicanism was more expensive.
Unless you are studying History at an advanced level in the UK, the War of 1812 is not something you will ever learn about.
It's an afterthought in British history.
The American war of independence - or as it's known here, The American Revolution, is considered as a part of the greater war being fought against the French and Spanish at the time.
It's a side show to 'the main event' in contrast to American history, where it is seen as a defining moment.
I’d agree. As an American living in England.
The 1812 War, the Americans think they won it, the Canadians know they won it, and the British forgot they fought in it.
The "anglo-" suffix is used because of the latinised version of England "Anglia". There are plenty of other examples used, such as "franco-" for France, "Sino-" for China (the Latin name for China is Sina), and "Russo-" for Russia.
Anglo comes from Anglo Saxons
@@ff56hs I'm afraid not. Anglia comes from Angle. But when the -o version of the country name is used, the Latinised version is used for the route.
@@HenryGK Anglo is a Late Latin prefix used to denote English- in conjunction with another toponym or demonym. The word is derived from Anglia, the Latin name for England and still used in the modern name for its eastern region, East Anglia. Anglia and England both mean land of the Angles, a Germanic people originating in the north German peninsula of Angeln, that is, the region of today's Lower Saxony that joins the Jutland Peninsula. (There are various hypotheses for the origin of the name 'Angeln'.)
@@ff56hs Yes, all true. I just condensed it.
You should react to a video on Canadian history and how Canada became a country. Sadly not too many youtubers make videos about those topics because everyone is obsessed with US History

For years American politicians said America had never been invaded by a foreign country they seemed to forget when us Brits burnt the Whitehouse down.
Only time the American capital was taken over by a foreign power
As an Englishman, I only ever learnt about one battle in Canada that was where General Wolf took Quebec
I prefer the term 'Native Americans' too.
Stan Rogers sings a good song about the War of 1812 called MacDonall on the Heights. Its on TH-cam.
“Well, you started it” (Fawlty Towers)
Don't mention the war
So after years of impressing and blocking trade and supporting natives killing American settlers?
@@TheIceman567 The impressment was recovered British subjects and the trade was because the US was helping our enemy. Suspect the Indians had had enough of settler behaviour without anyone’s help. Just cover for attempting to take others’ property.
@@davidhollins870 the USA wasn’t helping France at all the treaty of friendship ended in 1800 after the quasi war. And Britain managed to impress between 6,000-9,000 American born citizens. So you’re denying historians who also state britain was aiding natives?
@@TheIceman567 Erm, the USA was trading war goods with France. You cannot give an exact figure on impressment? Looks like it was as difficult then to tell nationality as it is now. It was just naked aggression, while UK was tied down in Spain.
For more on this, the Canadian band the Arrogant Worms (yeah, I know) did a hilarious but accurate song called "War of 1812" and it will fill in all the blanks. It's also brutally honest 🤣.
As others no doubt will mention "Anglo" is an adjective for England, it comes from one of the founding tribes of the Kingdom of England, the Angles. It is also the origin of the name England which means "Land of the Angles".
As for the term "Indians", from what I've heard American Natives prefer that term over "Native American" as it refers to natives in the US exclusively, like the First Nations in Canada. I believe CGP Grey made a video about the topic.
so what about actual Indians? You know, from India?
I thought "Indian" was used for all indigenous peoples of the Americas. (It certainly was in the past).
@@RB-747 What about them?
@Iapetus McCool Maybe it was at some point, I'm no expert at this. But in Canada the natives are referred to as "First Nations", at least officially.
@@SweArdaia I think you're right about the First Nations part btw.
My point is why would Native Americans think Indian refers to American Natives when it refers to, you know, actual people from India
@@RB-747 Because while "Indian" is a misnomer its a word that has taken root for well over 500 years and the natives in the US have embraced as a name for them specifically, unlike "Native American" which refers to a huge range of extremely diverse cultures spanning two continents.
I'm basing this reasoning off a CGP Grey video, I think it's this one in case you're interested:

Never underestimate the taxman in raising revenues. The UK even had window and chimney taxes for the various wars. Income tax was introduced during the Napoleonic wars. Used to be about 2 old pence in the pound. (The good old days). Another good video, Bonnie Lass.
Didn't the Napoleonic wars destroy the British economy?
@@starrynight1657 It was a close-run thing. British landowners were terrified of the french revolution. Uprisings of the masses etc.
@@iansheridan3633 Though we didn't have a feudal system, riots were more because of the industrial revolution. The bloodshed in France probably had everywhere frightened because of the scale of it.
Napoleon was more a threat because of the traditional rivalry and balance of power threat. He had ambitions well beyond France.
In Denmark we had a king called Erik Plovpenning, literally translated to "plow penny" because he put a tax of a penny on every plow owned. He was not a very popular King.
@@starrynight1657 no
Not sure if you're interested but if you have any plans to look more into the naval side of the Napoleonic wars at some point in the future, the Channel 'Maritime GB' have a series of short videos covering the main actions of Admiral Nelson's career that I would definitely recommend. The videos in chronological order are:
Horatio Nelson at Toulon & Corsica 1793-4
Horatio Nelson & The Battle of Cape St Vincent 1797
Admiral Nelson & The Battle of Santa Cruz 1797
Admiral Nelson & The Battle of the Nile 1798
Admiral Nelson & The Battle of Copenhagen 1801
Trafalgar & The Death of Nelson 1805
The total runtime of the series is about 30 minutes, so not too much of a time sink, and they give a good overview of Nelson's career and why he is so revered.
Drachinifel (who is pretty much a go to for historical naval stuff on youtube) also did a series on Nelsons career, as well as videos on 1812 battles on the great lakes, as well as USS Constitution.
@@shaniamonde7341 Drachinifel is the gold standard, though if I remember correctly, his series on Nelson is missing its final part. Still agree that they are well worth a watch though. Guy really knows his stuff.
Ehtv is gonna make a video on the naval side of the Napoleonic war soon, she should definitely watch that when it comes out
Yes, thanks!
@@SoGal_YT Anything Naval I recommend Drachinifel. As a stated above, he really is the gold standard in Naval History, and his videos are excellent.
He means republicans as in America was a Republic
Like France.
The Constitution and Victory were in active service at the same time. Guess how it would have turned out if the Victory had been sent to America. I doubt the Constitution would have lasted long.
If the Speedy had been there, it would have been good prize money.
It's interesting to hear you say that you feel Canada is an extension of the US because as an Englishman I see it as an extension of the UK.
The invasion of the 60's was a music and culture invasion. It wasn't just The Beatles as you also had The Who, The Rolling Stones, Donovan, The Animals, The Kinks, The Troggs and many more.
The second invasion happened in the 80's. The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star was the first video ever shown on MTV.
Culturally and politically it’s probably more similar to the UK, but geographically, and in look, feel, vibes, etc. it’s much more similar to the U.S. I’ve seen parts of Canada that I’ve mistaken for the U.S., and we do a lot of business there as well.
"Anglo" is basically a word for England, so Anglo-US relations would be how we discribe ourselves now, and I have a few friends stateside who are Anglophiles because they love the UK (for some daft reason).
Some of the American media has Anglophobia still, like the New York Times.
Thanks for the explanation!
@@starrynight1657 Yeah, we have a few daft people over here who love the US...though perhaps not so many.
Why is it "daft" to like the UK?
@@Paul-hl8yg I don't think liking places is a bad thing, hate is silly though and normally reflects the insecurities of those doing it.
I suppose in some cases they can be combined, using the hate of somewhere as a springboard to like somewhere else. An example is 'the grass is always greener on the other side', hating where they are to laud somewhere else.
History is still used by some for less than the kind of objective purpose they claim, and on TH-cam you have to be careful with some channels who can slip in bigoted nonsense.
As said elsewhere Anglo refers to anything relating to England (from the original germanic settlers Anglo-Saxons (amongst many others)).
Anglophile - someone who loves British/English things
Anglophobe - Technically someone who fears England/Britain, but most often used to represent hatred.
Anglo is also used as a reference term like the war of 1812 being an Anglo-American war, the shortest war in history being the Anglo-Zanzibar war (38 minutes if you want to know)etc etc etc.
The republicans he refers to are not republicans as in the current political party, but rather republicans who support a country being a republic (like US and Revolutionary France) rather than a monarchy (like the UK).
Also, the USS Constitution was/is not a battleship, it is a frigate, a big one sure but still a frigate, compaired to an actual ship-of-the-line it wouldn't stand a chance. It did secure a handful of wins against lone British ships, smaller than itself which were often captured from France and not in the best condition.
As for who won, well coming from a British subject, I view it based on the war objectives, the US' objectives were the annexation of Canada and changes to British policy at sea, they got neither of these things so I'd call that failing your objectives. .... but I might be biased :)
I wouldn't conflate England with Britain. Anglophilia/phobia are specifically defined as the like/dislike of the English [source: Oxford English Dictionary].
a lot of americans moved to canada because they were loyal to the crown during revolutionary war
That’s actually something I don’t think I realized. Where did all the Canadians come from 🤔 Thanks for the insight.
@@SoGal_YT omg you are so cute. sadly I live in England lol
Many more moved to Upper Canada because there were zero taxes there (Yes, I realize how ironic that is). During the War of 1812 the majority of the population of Upper Canada between Detroit and Niagara were either decidedly pro-American or, at best, passively neutral. Newark (Niagara-On-The-Lake) was burned not by Americans, but by pro-American traitors. The "bloody assize" of 1814 saw 19 pro-Americans charged with treason in one sitting. Most were hanged.
17:10 Canadians will throw hands at that statement
Aw, I just meant the look and feel of Canada is very similar - didn't mean that in a condescending way. Fair point about America, though I'd say people use the term more as shorthand for United States of America, since we have "America" in the name of our country. You can be referred to as Canadian, but there's no other term we really have to describe what country we're from. United Statesian?
@@SoGal_YT I was half-joking but most Canadians just don't like being compared to the US that's all lol
Just what I thought
I am not Canadian so I wouldn't know but I always got the feeling that a lot of Canadians didn't like being compared with the US? Kind of like how the Scotland and Wales don't like being compared to England even?
Apparently many actually prefer being called Indians (see CGP Grays video). "Native American" is so vague that it can any native group in all of the America's i.e. north, central, and south.
The War of 1812 was a victory for the British Empire in that Canada came into her own and the Canadians proved they weren’t simply Britishers in North America, but were a nation the Canadian Nation, not a people desiring of the spread of the American Revolution but a people loyal to the Crown., whilst at the same time establishing themselves as 100 percent Canadian,. It was the birth of a great nation.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Actually it wasn’t. Since the USA had no plans to take over Canada nor did it affect Canada’s nationhood.

Re: Admiral of the Fleet Sir George Cockburn.
I take it that the atrocious mis-pronunciation of that gentleman's surname WAS a consciously ironic comment on Americans' well-known inability to pronounce even mildly 'challenging' English names correctly (and not just when they end in _ham_ or _shire_ )?
Just for the record: it's pronounced CO-BURN !!
Basically it was a draw, but as the US failed at its attempt to take over the British territory of Canada, and the British succeeded in it's attempt to hold its territory, points to a British victory, in the sense that the British goal was achieved whilst the US goal failed, so strategically a British Victory, but in reality a war which just set the status quo in stone, so also a proud moment in US history.
Where are you from? You know the British were out for us territory?
@Spooky Gangster they did they recognized American independence in 1783.
@Spooky Gangster Not true there was a very strong 'leave the Yanks alone' movement in UK at that time.
The USA had two main goals at the beginning of the War of 1812:
1) STOP the British Blockade that was hobbling The USA's economy; AND
2) STOP Britain's harassment and impressment of US sailors into the Royal Navy.
The USA met both of these goals at the end of the War by treaty negotiations.
One of the American invasions was stopped a few hundred yards from my house (the Battle of Stoney Creek, June 6th 1813).
The War of 1812. From the British point of view, probably the most pointless war we ever fought but it did keep the USA out of Canada. More significant for the USA, but more for their domestic politics than anything else. And the most famous battle (New Orleans) took place after the peace treaty had been signed. But Andrew Jackson and Winfield Scott benefited from it.
The US economy was the biggest winner of the war
There also two goals of The USA that were met and secured by the treaty negotiations:
1) ENDING the British blockade that was set up to financially hobble The USA; and
2) ENDING the British from kidnapping and impressment of US sailors into the Royal Navy.
British seamen were prime targets for the Royal Navy press gangs, as they knew the ropes, literally. Merchant vessels would be stopped leaving or entering port, and likely fellows impressed into the King's service. So British seamen took the option if it arose, of working American ships. The hope was they wouldn't be grabbed for war service, also the pay and conditions on American ships was better. The officers less autocratic. Reclaiming British seamen and preventing French war trade were both reasons friction arose on the high seas.
I saw a programme about the American frigate of that era. They were built from a resilient timber ( yellow oak ?) That resisted canon shot. Hence the R N found it difficult to deal with them. The film Master and Commander has the invincible frigate as a French ship, in the original book it is an American vessel in the 1812/14 war. Hollywood didn't like that configuration though, and changed its nationality.
Sorry, I grew up at a time when cowboys and Indians were very popular on TV. I know it's an anomaly but native American's is such a mouthful. A lot of them migrated north into Canada when they were being harassed by the US, which is why the mounties wee issued the red tunic. If they had worn UK police blue, it would have associated them with the US cavalry chasing them down south. The police force in Britain were dressed in blue to disassociate them in the minds of British citizens from the red clad militia who had previously been used to put down restlessness. So the same reasoning produced two different uniforms.
The burning of the White house is a famous incident. It wasn't know as the White House before then, it was whitewashed to cover the smoke stained stonework, and so gained its name.
In general this war is barely known about in Britain. Waterloo and Trafalgar are the events people are aware of.
Also Sogal I think your concern about what to call 'Native Americans' is kind of pointless as they often call themselves 'Indians.'
Angles and saxons were germanic tribes from todays Netherlands. They invaded the Roman territories in Britannia. They ruled Britain until 1066, that is until William the Conqueror took over.
Fun fact: The sack of Rome by the Visigoths in 410 and the burning of Washintong in 1814 took place on the same day, August 24.
😢
Fun Fact.. LOL Justinians generals... Bel-something (slips my tongue) Smashed the Visigoths at their new home in Northern Africa before heading towards Rome to "liberate" back into the Empire from the Lombards I believe? or Ostrogoths. ... Was it a punitive smash, or a strategic smash.. .. seems a bit out of the way.
@@MarkVrem now just hold on a minute, what do you mean by "liberate". It's about restoring the might of Rome and not let the dream die. The empire will rise again!!! 476 never forget
Except they were using slightly different calendars.
I'd be curious to see what the deviation in days was between the Julian calendar of the time and a Gregorian calendar backdated to 410 AD.

The American Republican Party developed from the Whig party. That’s the same name used by what would be considered left-wing, change society, party of Britain. It was the Whig party that Lincoln joined and the name changed later.
The French were very much appreciated and approved of by Americans because in strict military terms it was the French who won the Revolutionary war for the Americans. So much so, that the French bankrupted themselves and the resulting poverty led directly to their revolution. Rather ironic.
Anglo means English. The Anglos were a Germanic tribe who settled in Britain alongside the Saxons in the 5th century. Both tribes formed different kingdoms who went on to become England in the 10th century. thus English are called Anglos.
Angles. The tribe were called the Angles. The English are a mix of the Angles, Saxons & Jutes of Germano-Danish origins.
There was an episode of QI that revealed it's now okay to refer to Native Americans as Indians, apparently, though I'm unable to find it right now. Jeremy Clarkson commented, "It's a whole different world since I left," which... yeah, it was a whole different world before as well, Jezza, you just didn't notice.
The War Nerd aka. Gary Brecher started a nice little series as well, The Twelve Days of 1812, and although he didn't finish, it gets into the War of 1812 in a nicely digestible way as well.
I thought it was a pretty fair analysis of the basic facts and I think it was pretty fair to say that neither America nor Britain really won although I think it could be argued that Canada won because invasion was prevented. As a Brit I do feel that we did let the natives down by capitulating over the native lands for political reasons in Europe and I think the timing was on America's side as no one in Britain wanted the war with America after the Napoleonic wars so it was not something the British Government wanted to commit to any more than it had to.
I'd agree that Canada won :)
Britain pretty much achieved all its objectives. The Americans achieved none of theirs (ie taking over all of North America). I'd say it's pretty clear Britain (including Canada) won the war.
The USA had two main goals at the beginning of the War of 1812:
1) STOP the British blockade that was financially strangulating the young USA; AND
2) STOP the British kidnapping and impressment of US sailors into the British Royal Navy.
Both of these goals had been met, and were secured by treaty negotiations in Belgium.*

The musical phenomenon known as the British Invasion preceded the Beatles by a few years when two or three UK acts reached Top 40 status in the US, which had never happened before. It was this awakening to music in the UK that opened the door to the Beatles - and the flood that followed.
We lost the British Invasion. England took American music, and injected it with so much racism that we forget America isn’t the only racist country in the world
@@DavyCDiamondback Example of this racist music, please.
USA attacked Canada to seize it while U.K. was tied down in fighting in Spain - the rest is ex post facto justification for aggression. It is the same as the USS Maine for the Spanish-American War.
Spain was an ally of Britain in the Napoleonic wars and he was French.
Brief history of the starting major political parties in the US:
The Democratic-Republican party (at the time sometimes shorted to Republican Party, hence the use of that term in the video) was one of the first two major parties in the United States, along with the Federalist party. The Federalist parties support collapsed in 1816, leaving about 8 years in which the Democratic-Republican party had effective single party status. This ended when it splintered into the Democratic Party and the National Republican Party. Yes, that Democratic Party and no, not that Republican Party as the National Republican Party merged with the Whig Party after 1832.
So as of the 1836 election, the two primary parties in the US are the Democratic Party and the Whig Party. The Republican Party doesn't emerge until 1854 as a party in opposition to slavery, and it isn't until the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 that the Republican Party supplanted the Whig Party as one of the two dominant parties in the United States.
Yeah, I was aware of the Democrat-Republican party, but wasn't aware that's what he was referring to in the video.
@@SoGal_YT Completely understandable. I hope my comment is also helpful for some of your other viewers.
Have a wonderful day and I look forward to your next video!
Over here in Britain, we don't really learn much about The War of 1812 at all, also to us The American Revolution has another name, The American War of Independence. American history is somewhat overshadowed in History classes by the Romans, Vikings, Tudors, the French Revolution and the World Wars.
I see The War of 1812 as the closest thing to a draw in terms of wars. I've sometimes made comparisons between Napoleonic Britain and World War America as they both provided supplies to their allies and both were safe from invasion due to a large body of water.
Also, as many have said before "Anglo" effectively means English. For example, there is the term The Anglosphere (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglosphere) which refers to all countries that speak English. Coming from the Angles who founded the land of the Angles/England.
I’d agree it was a draw
As a rule i wouldn't recommend crash course or anything much from the green brothers.. they have a tendency to.... editorialise a little (i have the same opinion of extra credits) when it comes to history on TH-cam anything from the time ghost conglomerate is basically the top tier (they are very very thorough) and other than that the channels you have been using are very good. Of course there are even more heterodox views on history, but for someone just learning about the events that level of ..... complexity isn't required.
As a Military History/Political Science buff, I am enjoying your reactions to these videos'.
To answer a couple of your questions, the two political parties at the time were the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans (more often referred to as "Republicans"). The Democratic-Republicans were the party of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison and would eventually be replaced by the present day Democratic party. The Federalists were the party of John Adams and Alexander Hamilton and would be replaced by the Whig party who would in time be replaced by the present day Republican party.

BTW, William Henry Harrison was president for only 31 days (March 4, 1841 - April 4, 1841).
To get a more basic look at Military History, you may want to look at the 8 part series "War and Civilization" which is on TH-cam.
Even the Brits know about William Henry Harrison, who died in 30 days, thanks to the song about the mediocre presidents from the Simpsons.
Thanks!
@Andrew Michael I've heard that fact before, but had forgotten it. I don't watch The Simpsons, so I've not heard that song, lol.

In that case, I'll let it slide... this time! 😊

I believe the Hartford Convention was also where the Federalists wanted the New England states to secede from the union. Which probably didn't help the party either LOL... -- or maybe that was another convention earlier in the war lol.
Jared Kavanagh wrote a massive alternate history story about this called Decades of Darkness. Long story short, it doesn't end well because without New England, the US gets dominated by expansionist slaveholders.
Anglo one of the three tribes that invaded britain in the 5th c CE (Also Jutes and Saxons). Anglo means English.
Yeah the British "invasion" that started with the Beatles was in 1964 and not 1961 as he said in the video, i mean if i remember correctly the Beatles first album was released in 1962.

As a Brit, I am sad for the British troops and sailors that fought in these wars because they had to do all their fighting 3000 miles from home and that was a very long way in those days. It always seemed Britain was also fighting the world and its dog. Mostly it was our own making of course,
The USA has picked up the baton that we once held, and as the American people know, It's tough at the top and many wonderful people are lost in the pursuit of world influence. However, God Bless America.....
Love back to Britain, from an American in England. Sadly yes we do know.
Anglo basically refers to everyone of anglo-saxon decent and more generally everyone who speaks English as their primary language.
France calls England ANGLETERRE (Angloland)
The UK did drop nukes on America during the cold War in simulated war games in 1960 and 1961. The war games were to test the USA's air defence systems to see how they would hold up against an attack from the soviet Union and ultimately failed twice. These war games were classified until the 90's so the American public still had faith in their air defence so although no actual nukes were dropped in the war test scenarios the Americans defences were breeched twice.

Saying that we were fighting the French during the War of Independence too, just saying 😉
Biggest battle of the war of independence - siege of Gibraltar.
One way I (as a Brit) have heard this war described is as a surprising victory on land for the British, and a surprising victory at sea for the Americans.
Supposedly Britain should have been confident about its naval supremacy, but instead suffered defeats at sea; whereas we might have been nervous about our ability to field a strong land army on another continent (after all we’ve never had a strong land army even in Europe, and we failed to support our army logistically during the Revolutionary War) and yet our land army won a string of victories.
White Oak...the main reason for most American Naval Victories.
@@jaimiehardy5652 the main reason is there was no great naval campaign, just small skirmishes etc. The British fleets were kept where they were needed most which wasn't in north America.
@@theant9821 I agree, however one of the major reasons for many 'surprises' when encounters took place was the Colonists use of white oak in ships construction. Probably by accident! Serendipitous for them!
I don't think the defeats at sea were because of White oak - the defeats were mostly between a large heavily armed, over crewed heavy frigate and a smaller vessel. The mission of the USA frigates was commerce raining not defeating Royal Naval vessels on 'equal' terms. When a British heavy frigate fought a USA frigate it won.
In WW2 parlance they were pocket battle ships fighting light cruisers. Guess who usually wins in that scenario?
Anglo just means English/British, the term comes from the Angles, one of the germanic tribes who invaded England (along with the Saxons) after the collapse of Roman Britain, which is where the term Anglo-Saxon comes from. For example the Anglosphere is a term for english speaking nations that share historic ties with the UK mostly due to colonialism.
😭
Indeed, the very name of 'England' is derived from 'Angle-land'. Which seems kind of like Saxon erasure, but I guess they still have the OG Free State of Saxony and it'd be pretty confusing if there were two of those.
Which would include the U.S. :-)
@@ninjaprawn2498 Also, as the diminutive form of Saxon is "sex" (Wessex, Sussex) it could be rather awkward if people named the country, Sexland.
@@michaelrae297 Why would it include the US. Americans aren't Anglo-Saxons anymore.
My great great great great uncle Thomas Hughes fought in France/Spain and was wounded 3 times twice in the legs once in the eye(left), He was transported from the front and recovered, he was sent to a quieter place, he was sent to Canada, as his ship docked to find out that the Americans with the help of French settlers attacked and burnt the Canadian capitol York, so once organised and settled troops sent to Canada where reimbarked and were they sailed up the Potomac river, after a battle they marched on and took Washington, ordered not to touch private houses, They burned Whitehouse, Treasury ect, while officers ate the dinner that was left on the table, My uncle a sergeant and put torch to Whitehouse, when he retired he became a Chelsea Pensioner. After talks where peace was settled America won a battle at New Orleans, war was finished, to late the hero's
The war of 1812 wasn't taught in the UK (at least when I was at school (mid 60s to mid 70s). I've heard it mentioned often enough, and, being familiar with the Napoleonic wars, I would have thought I'd know more about this one. But no, not a thing in general British education... Although the raid by John Paul Jones on Whitehaven in 1770something, was. But maybe that's because Whitehaven is just up the coast from me. Something else you said in the vid wasn't quite right. Where you mentioned Canadians 'paying homage' to The Queen? No, it's not like that. No homage is paid, and if it were, it would be to The Crown... Oh bugger, more explanation... Think of the The Crown as a multinational company and the The Queen (King) as its CEO. So Canada recognised that an affiliation to The Crown was just good business. Edited because... alcohol.
There's a Whitehaven area of the city I live in!
@@SoGal_YT That's probably from where your city area got its name, then :). In 'our' Whitehaven I think someone from the US army/navy comes over for the anniversary every year. Not sure on that though, it may just been for the documentary I watched.

Anglo can refer to a few different things but the two most common are Anglo Saxons an ethnicity which English people were derived from and one of the few big ethnicities along with Britons, Picts, Bernicians, and Scots, amongst others that came to make up modern Britain. Anglo can also be used loosely to refer to the language of the people and the Anglosphere in general so the modern nations of the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand even though they may not ethnically be all Anglo Saxons if that makes sense. It is certainly how for example adversaries of the US and UK such as Putin and Russia regard us. They refer to us all as Anglo Saxons.
Did you know in WWI that for a brief period of time in winter 1914 the Brits and Germans put their weapons down and played football and exchanged gifts? It was known as the Christmas Truce. During the truce one of the Germans said to a British soldier that he was a Saxon from Saxony and the British troop was an Anglo Saxon so why are they fighting?

I think when he referred to French loving Republicans he was talking about the Democratic Republican party. I could be wrong but I think I remembered some people called the Democratic Republicans just Republicans for short hand purpose. Once again I could be wrong.
I think he was just referring to republican's as opposed to monarchists.
The Quasi-War was an undeclared war fought from 1798 to 1800 between the United States and France. Most of the fighting took place in the Caribbean and off the Atlantic coastline of the United States
The reference to the British invading the US in 1961 is referring to the boogie-woogie pop combo The Beatles. (although I think it was 1964)

Sorry, but I forgot one other thing. "Anglo" is a reference to England/Great Britain. The term comes from the Angles, a germanic tribe that invaded England in the 5th Century just as the Romans had abandoned the island. An "Anglophile" is one who loves/admires/respects Britain while an "Anglophobe" is the opposite.
Thanks! Makes sense now :)
On what to call Native Americans/Indians, CGPGrey has an interesting video on this subject here: th-cam.com/video/kh88fVP2FWQ/w-d-xo.html Long story short, misnomer though it is, it's the term many of the native peoples of the USA have gotten used to and feel "Native American" is not a valid description because it's not specific enough. I personally have met a few people from the Navajo, Iroquois and Seminoles and they all preferred the term "Indian".
I'll have to check it out. I'd defer to the natives to tell me what they want to be called. On the other hand, I wonder if people from India feel disrespected by it.
I've always thought that indian comes from indigenous, used as a collective term in countries where there are several groups/tribes/cultures and a collective name doesn't exist, also used in Australia in the past. The confusing bit is the name of India, but that is a confusion that goes back millennia.
@Nigel S. What we're taught here is that the first explorers thought they were in India when they got to the new world, and erroneously started calling the natives "Indians," and the name stuck. So it was a mistake to begin with.
@@SoGal_YT Yes, I've heard that, but it doesn't explain why aboriginal Australians were also called Indians? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian And it is normally associated with Christopher Columbus, who didn't speak English!
The "Canadians " include a large number of "Empire loyalists" who had left the US after the War of Independance due to persecution by the secesionists and the French in Quebec were quite happy as they had more rights and freedoms than they would have had in France
It's really nice to see you teaching us Brits about some of your history, SoGal. Your good-hearted and open-minded attitude really is a compliment to you.

The War of 1812 accomplished two things. American independence from Britain was cemented. The American invasion created an Canadian identity and Canadian patriotism
Independence was already cemented in 1783. War of 1812 was more about US trying to annex Canada
@@archivesoffantasy5560 …. The Americans tried seizing Canada in the both the wars of independence and of 1812. American forces were resisted by both British troops and Canadian militia. After American independence the colonial tories loyal to Britain moved to Canada. Canadian national identity is firmly based on “we’re not Americans” starting in that era
I assumed, like a lot of historians, he's using 'Indian' because it's the contemporary term.
to me, the term native Americans did not exist. it was cowboys and Indians that we played
Anglo just means English, from the Angles, hence Anglo-Saxon. This is why it properly refers to the English and not the British, although it is frequently used incorrectly to mean British

Anglo Saxon = English. England derived from Englaland, which means ‘Land of the Angles’. The Angles, Saxons and Jutes were Germanic tribes that arrived in England in the 5th century.

@@johnmknox yes I heard that about the tune
By the rocket's red glare, our flag is still there.
‘Anglo’ is a term to describe things English (or even British), as ‘Franco’ describes things French. Anglophone, Anglophile etc. In history, after 410 AD with the departing of the Romans from Britannia, the main part of the island of Great Britain was invaded/settled by the Germanic tribes of the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, and Frisians. Most of them being Angles. The language they spoke was Angle-ish, later Aengle-ish, or as we know it ‘English’. ‘Franco’ comes from the first name for the French - the Franks. Angle - Anglo. Frank - Franco. Hope that helps to explain.

@@libertyprime6932 Doesn't that make it a British victory then?
I agree bro
A little known fact is that the Americans took the war to the British Isles, USS Argus was sailing up and down the Bristol Channel, capturing a few merchant vessels until HMS Pelican caught up with her, and USS Argus was captured, the US captain was buried with full military honours when they landed at Portsmouth, maybe Plymouth.
Americans never talk about the battle of Stoney Creek when the British army outnumbered 3 to 1 made a daring night attack, and using only Tomahawks and Bayonets routed the American army capturing Two generals.
That because American never except or talk about there defeats unless they can make some geneticist patriotic course from it .
The ambassador to the US from France was general Thurreau the leader of the republican revolutionaries during the French Terror, so the relationship was strong.
Florida indicates that the US is in fact Canada's pants.
You might want to watch a video on the Haitian Revolution because Napoleon did send troops to Haiti and was part of his ill defined idea for an American empire, should he fail in Europe but it did eventually lead to the Louisana Purchase and Napoleon regretting his stance toward Haitian leader Toussaint Louverture. Also you might want to see a video on the British PM Spencer Perceval as he not only (sort of) caused the 1812 war but was responsible for keeping Wellington in Spain for so long.
I believe Haiti went on to conquer the Dominican Republic creating the Haitian Empire briefly.
This is what gets me most annoyed, England held a small sliver of 13 eastern states never going deeper into the Americas because our power based was sea based. The Spanish, Portuguese, French and Dutch had territories to the south, west and north. Yet England always gets the blame for everything in America. We were out in 1776 everything after that was all you and them!
This genocide was all done when America was independent and incharge.
The reason Americans are anti-monarchy is you are raised to be anti-monarchy, that's what indoctrination is.. it's why education now is so left-wing, get them young enough and you can shape the way they think, until they learn and experience for themselves. It's why the youth are left-wing and the older members of society who have worked, toiled and suffered are conservative/republican.
Americans have a righteousness fantasy. Every act in their history has some invented moral justification added to it. And so, instead of the revolution being about a relatively small pack of aristocratic slave-holders who didn't want to pay their taxes, it becomes a narrative of "freedom" and "oppression".
@@andrewcharles459 Americans definitely define themselves as a moral authority, definitely see themselves as the global good guys. But in reality they've cause a lot of trouble in pursuit of the almighty dollar and it's support mechanism the petro-dollar. They justify it with fictional accounts of atrocity and "evil empires"... Gaddafi once a terrorist sympathiser decades before, was about to receive a UN humanitarian award just before he was assassinated, he was also about to bring in a gold backed African currency to buy and sell oil with, guess which one got him killed?

The War of 1812 is not something I knew much about until I looked it up on Wiki, but Canadian friends have mentioned it with pride. But there was one reference to it I did know. In the 2009 film 'In the Loop', the abrasive Malcolm Tucker, a British government official at a conference in Washington about a possible Middle East 'intervention' has a particularly trying meeting with a sneering anti-British American general in the White House. Irritated, Tucker says " Look, we came here in 1814 and burnt this city to the ground, and I'm all in favour of doing it again!"
From what I've seen of 1812 stuff The US was willing to give up large parts of northern territory but the British couldn't be seen stealing territory while negotiations in europe were to stop france being carved up by other countries. As a result Britain took control over 2 north west territories and gave them back some time later. The claim by the US that they won seems to base around the fact they won a big battle after the deal was struck because of poor communications of the day
6:20 He means democratic-republicans as opposed to federalists. The political landscape at the time was trying to figure out how much to centralise power in the new nation.
USS Constitution was not a battleship (or at the time, a 'line of battle ship' or 'ship of the line') it was and is a frigate, a bloody big frigate, but a frigate. It had 24-pounder long guns and 32-pounder carronades (short, light, short-range cannon throwing a heavy ball), rated at 44 guns. The standard British frigate of the time had an 18-pounder main armament, rated at 38 guns. The British replied to the large American frigates, in part, by slicing the top deck off three 74 gun ships of the line to produce even larger frigates, with 32-pounder long guns and 42-pounder carronades, rated at 50 guns. They never met the American heavy frigates in action.
1812 - Europe - Chaos and Mess - heck, Europe has been "chaos and Mess" from way before 1812 right up until today
