  • This was the American theatre of the Seven Years War. In the first few years of the war, the British are outclassed militarily, and the French gain the upper hand.

    The Colonies were English and not "British" as is often stated, that's not to say we English are not "British", we are British but that is to say that the Colonies were overwhelmingly English and they were under the English Crown even Nova Scotia was an English colony from 1654 to 1670 and the Province of New Jersey (both east and west) was also an English colony.
    The Union of the Crowns was not a merger, The English and Scottish Crowns still are distinct and preserved as distinct entities (English Law & Scots Law) as per the agreement of the Treaty of Union which was ratified by law in both Kingdoms by the Act of Union 1706 (Scots Law) & the Act of Union 1707 (English Law). Only the Parliaments of both Kingdoms can be claimed to have been merged via the Acts of Union 1706 & 1707, yet de facto the Scottish Parliament was not merged with the English Parliament as much as it was subsumed into the English Parliament (which sat at Westminster) and renamed to the "British Parliament" with Scotland being run from Westminster via a Scottish department with in the Government of "Great Britain", but that Scottish department in under the Scottish Crown not the English Crown. This is demonstrated by the fact that HM Government uses the Royal Arms of HM Government in Scotland, (i.e. the Scottish Royal arms), and not the Royal Arms of HM Government as used in the rest of the "UK" (i.e. the English Royal arms). England (including Wales) and Scotland are governed as distinct domestic entities by there own Crown's, England and Wales by the English Crown and Scotland by the Scottish Crown.
    If you find this is a bit confusing, then that's because it is. What you have to realise and remember is that a "Unitary State" means "a sovereign state that is governed as a single entity in which the central government is the supreme authority". It dose not mean *it is* a "single entity", just that it is "governed as a single entity", albeit by two (or three if you include what's left the Irish realm i.e. Northern Ireland) distinct Royal entities which are the English Crown (for England & Wales) and the Scottish Crown (for Scotland), also the Irish Crown (for Ireland or at least Northern Ireland) if you include that fact that Irish Law is distinct from English Law as well as Scots Law and Northern Ireland is governed distinctly from both Scotland and England. Wales is governed under the English Crown but distinctly from England, as a Principality and not as a Kingdom like England, Scotland and Northern Ireland are. This is primarily why devolution is a mess because "Great Britain" and the "UK" are legal fictions, de jure their exits is referenced and internationally recognised, de facto their exits is a myth created by international treatise and domestic law, and devolution has created legal contradictions. A dissolvement of the Parliamentary Union would clean up a lot of mess as it would just restore the three sovereign Kingdom's of England, Ireland and Scotland as was the case during the early Restoration. That wont happen any time soon.
    The Empire was set up by England, always has been under the English Crown, never not been under the English Crown, no matter Personal and Parliamentary Union with Scotland and Ireland, it was always the English Empire and still is in regards to the "B.O.Ts" (British Overseas Territories), they are de facto "E.O.Ts" (English Overseas Territories), and they will remain that if you were to dissolve of the Parliamentary Union, unless the English Crown seceded some overseas territories to the Scottish Crown, but the like hood of that happening is over dead English & Welsh soldiers, sailor and airmen, because why would we secede any overseas territories to the Scots without a fight.

      The union of 1707 was a direct result of Scotland bankrupting itself in the Darien Scheme before coming crawling to England to bail them out.
      The Articles of Union say:
      "That the two Kingdoms of England and Scotland shall upon the First day of May which shall be in the year One thousand seven hundred and seven and for ever after be united into one Kingdom by the name of Great Britain And that the Ensigns Armorial of the said United Kingdom be such as Her Majesty shall appoint and the Crosses of St. George and St. Andrew be conjoyned in such manner as Her Majesty shall think fit and used in all Flags Banners Standards and Ensigns both at Sea and Land. "
      The Union with England Act 1707 says:
      "That the Two Kingdoms of Scotland and England shall upon the first day of May next ensuing the date hereof and forever after be United into One Kingdom by the Name of Great Britain And that the Ensigns Armorial of the said United Kingdom be such as Her Majesty shall appoint and the Crosses of St Andrew and St George be conjoined in such manner as Her Majesty shall think fit and used in all Flags Banners Standards and Ensigns both at Sea and Land "
      The Union with Scotland Act 1706 says:
      "That the two Kingdoms of England and Scotland shall upon the First day of May which shall be in the year One thousand seven hundred and seven and for ever after be united into one Kingdom by the name of Great Britain And that the Ensigns Armorial of the said United Kingdom be such as Her Majesty shall appoint and the Crosses of St. George and St. Andrew be conjoyned in such manner as Her Majesty shall think fit and used in all Flags Banners Standards and Ensigns both at Sea and Land. "
      As you can see. Article one of all relevant legislation clearly states that the kingdoms, both England (incl. Wales) and Scotland, are to be joined into one Kingdom. the Kingdom of Great Britain. When they merged, the Old Kingdoms no longer exist, and are replaced in full by the new one.
      [1]. www.legislation.gov.uk/aosp/1707/7/contents - Union With England Act 1707
      [2]. www.legislation.gov.uk/aep/Ann/6/11/contents - Union With Scotland act 1706
      [3]. www.parliament.uk/globalassets/documents/heritage/articlesofunion.pdf - The articles of union, as passed in both governments.
      If England were to vote to leave the Union, Then Scotland as the last member state, would be the Successor state and all British Overseas territories and dependencies would become theirs. Of course, this is unlikely as we are the only member of the union without a national government and therefore have no elected body with which to have that vote.
      Seeing how the above is true, and Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland all have their own governments to pass laws, does that mean that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are the colonisers, and England the Colonised? food for thought.
      As for the Empire, Scotland couldn't get enough of it.
      "As the British Empire expanded in the 18th and 19th centuries, Scots were overrepresented in almost every role, staffing the East India Company, running the Caribbean plantations, and settling the Americas and the antipodes" - Niall Ferguson, Empire: How Britain Made the Modern world.
      And that's from a Scottish Author. so no English bias there.

      @@H_and_P Don't take what is said as fact, because it isn't, he's talking out his backside. The exact wording of both the Scottish and English acts of Union of 1707 and 1706 respectively both dissolve the respective Crowns and replace it with the Crown of Great Britain.
      English Act:
      "That the two Kingdoms of England and Scotland shall upon the First day of May which shall be in the year One thousand seven hundred and seven and for ever after be united into one Kingdom by the name of Great Britain And that the Ensigns Armorial of the said United Kingdom be such as Her Majesty shall appoint and the Crosses of St. George and St. Andrew be conjoyned in such manner as Her Majesty shall think fit and used in all Flags Banners Standards and Ensigns both at Sea and Land. "
      Scottish Act:
      "That the Two Kingdoms of Scotland and England shall upon the first day of May next ensuing the date hereof and forever after be United into One Kingdom by the Name of Great Britain And that the Ensigns Armorial of the said United Kingdom be such as Her Majesty shall appoint and the Crosses of St Andrew and St George be conjoined in such manner as Her Majesty shall think fit and used in all Flags Banners Standards and Ensigns both at Sea and Land."
      To read the Acts in full, go to "legislation [dot] gov [dot] uk" and search for "Union with England Act" or "Union with Scotland Act".
      From that moment on, Scotland was a partner in Empire, which they had tried and failed to set up on their own. Look up the Darien Affair, it bankrupted them and the union was them going to England and asking them to pay off all their debts. As for the actual execution of the Empire, Scotland was overrepresented in it's administration and running.
      Look up "Empire: How Britain Made the Modern World" by Niall Ferguson. A Scottish author. this would indicate that he has more reason to play down their role, but he doesn't shy away from the facts.

      so...... This kinda stinks of individual state nationalism, not inherently bad but something to look out for because of balkanization. So I have Cornish ancestors who came to America.... in Fact my Scottish ancestor comes from a time after the USA was a country,. Maybe this is an outside perspective but those peoples who come from the British Isles are.... British, and yes despite how much some of my Irish friends will hate me, they are also BRITISH. Maybe not from great britian, or the UK, but british. It also makes good shorthand. Yes the English crown and parliament has had the lions share of the power, but that doesn't mean the complicated web that was woven to keep the political entity together changes this fact. That means as it came closer to a more united government it became more and more like a British government. there were separatists in the state that I live in who claimed that Ohio should have to refund all taxes collected before 1953 because It had never become a full state in legislation and in the traditional method..... because it was the First state to join this United States past the original colonies..... so it's all technicality, but in reality since 1803 my State has been a part of the "union"(and Stayed that way during the big kerfuffle that happened almost 60 years later) Texas in the US, one of the states widely known for its extended ego/JESUS/guns was a republic for some time before joining/being annexed by the USA..... with very complicated paperwork. In fact Texas is a part of the USA no matter how much technicality they want to wipperwoo about independance. Nations work differently than almost any other legal entity in the world, heck it wasn't until the establishment of the UN till there was a general consensus that governments were beholden to their own laws.
      Now, I'm not british anymore, nor am I cornish, english, irish, scottish(somehow missed welsh) or norwiegan, danish, german etc.... I'm an American culturally, socially, and often times to my lament politically. Just like people born in the middle east who move to the BRITISH isles eventually join the ranks of the people who live there already. See state and cultural identities are far more difficult as well. Anywho I gotta watch the vid again to see what fun I can have responding to that.

    Hi again :D
    I see you took my last comment about more pictures to heart, which is really nice and quite funny to see from the perspective of an individual TH-cam account how it warps the content I see because its like: ChatGPT: more Pictures! 'Okay :)' :D
    I also see you already arrived at the "Wall of Text about how you are not exactly right/The Person who commented this can go 'suck his slut' (is that correct swedish-english? i know slut mean end so...) "Part of TH-cam so keep going, i (and you) saw you views climb from the history of cards video (which is probably the one one on youtube which is...kind of amazing?? actually that you found something that literally noone else ever thought of doing lol) up to this one which is doing pretty good i think :D
    Also i came here because i saw how you replied to my comment so community interaction actually works and i wanted to see the progress since the last video :'D
    Anyway your Stuff is getting pretty good actually, you could turn the amount of pictures up just a little bit more but its almost perfect level :D
    I will give you some examples as a viewer so you know what to look out for next, it was still fine as is but i know how important feedback is about stuff thats not the actual content of the video :)
    for example at 1:00 you could have shown a bigger map of how Louisiana and the north are connected, the mayority of the screeen is the map without the south so it's harder to make out where what is and how important the mouth of the misisipi (i'm just gonna leave this here, fuck that word) actually is for like....EVERYTHING, I'm a big fan of tangents so i would show like a map of the river systems for like extra context or something about just HOW.FUCKING.IMPORTANT. that river is for making the united states...United.
    The George Washington part is completly fine, the map is a bit small in like...overall size, its hard to make out whats what and where and i like the leaning into a bit of comedy, you sound pretty confident it that :)
    At 4:00 starts something which is...not dramatic because you just tune it out basically..but still the ->names or ->pictures without names are like..hard..to follow, with the like who's hunting who and who follows who in commandeering what and stuff,
    the picture together with a name on screen would make this much easier to follow, or like comic like graphs/powerpoint-arrows on an Atlantic map of like the british leaving, the french intercepting this, the british intercepting that, harassing the french but being to late...its hard enough to imagine in text, in the video/realtime its just like....okay yeah they slapped each other, next :D
    ->like its a clusterfuck, show how bad it was with overlapping arrows like that spongebob bit "we're not talking about that, or that, its about THAT"
    TH-cam's more of a visual thing, you "have" to like show each plotpoint and how they connect back to each other at the end of the...paragraph?.. like okay a british commando went to america, commander died -> command went to this guy, fuck him apparently ; other task to another guy -> goes to this guy (I'm also confused at this point whos responsible for that worst asshole because theres no flowchart of command lol) so I'm not even sure who died to put the guy in charge who was a sluthole to the civilians (please tell me that an actual swedish swear).
    Also the last part with the 1755 Fort could have taken another map because i beliefe it was in the south but...the further off I am the more the map is needed :D
    So yeah I'm really happy that you took my last comment to heart, because i saw the increase in pictures you used, and the ones you used were pretty good(imagine this comment if they were shit) its just more context/descriptions for the pictures or more filler to connect them all together. The 'Comedy' bits were also not out of place and would fit even more into the natural flow of your video in the future if you would want to go that way but thats up to you :)
    , theres still the Swedish ASMR path (I have no idea if you are swedish i just read it in a comment so theres that)
    And Please, like actually really please don't think of this as me ripping your video apart...its really like actually more of a constructive dissection :'D
    (And) If you want to get some inspiration on the level of content on the screen you could look up @AlternateHistoryHub for how he does his Graphs and pictures and maps, most of my ideas are based on how He shows his graphs and maps and stuff because its just very easy to follow and i think you could actually follow in his footsteps :)
    Also i can really recommend @AtunSheiFilms , he's from Louisiana and has a couple more hands-on videos about the french indian war :D
    Also Please be actually swedish and tell me that: "Talking out of his slut"/"Shut his Slut" are actual, grammatically correct, swedish-english sentences

      Please don’t worry about the text wall it helps me to improve as a content creator which is always good - I will take these on board for part 2 don’t you worry. And yes, ‘slut’ is the Swedish word for end so I suppose that is grammatically correct . (And yes I am part Swedish)
