Where US Politics Came From: Crash Course US History #9
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ค. 2024
- In which John Green teaches you where American politicians come from. In the beginning, soon after the US constitution was adopted, politics were pretty non-existent. George Washington was elected president with no opposition, everything was new and exciting, and everyone just got along. For several months. Then the contentious debate about the nature of the United States began, and it continues to this day. Washington and his lackey/handler Alexander Hamilton pursued an elitist program of federalism. They attempted to strengthen the central government, create a strong nation-state, and leave less of the governance to the states, They wanted to create debt, encourage manufacturing, and really modernize the new nation/ The opposition, creatively known as the anti-federalists, wanted to build some kind of agrarian pseudo-paradise where every (white) man could have his own farm, and live a free, self-reliant life. The founding father who epitomized this view was Thomas Jefferson. By the time Adams became president, the anti-federalists had gotten the memo about how alienating a name like anti-federalist can be. It's so much more appealing to voters if your party is for something rather than being defined by what you're against, you know? In any case, Jefferson and his acolytes changed their name to the Democratic-Republican Party, which covered a lot of bases, and proceeded to protest nearly everything Adams did. Lest you think this week is all boring politics, you'll be thrilled to hear this episode has a Whiskey Rebellion, a Quasi-War, anti-French sentiment, some controversial treaties, and something called the XYZ Affair, which sounds very exciting. Learn all about it this week with John Green.
Hey teachers and students - Check out CommonLit's free collection of reading passages and curriculum resources to learn more about the events of this episode. Much of America's politics came from debates between democratic republican Thomas Jefferson and federalist Alexander Hamilton: www.commonlit.org/texts/alexa...
While Jefferson would go on to become president, Hamilton heavily influenced President George Washington who set many American political ideals in his farewell address that Hamilton helped craft: www.commonlit.org/texts/washi...

how do you write like you're running out of time?
James Madison wrote twenty nine.
and hamilton wrote, the other 51!
I couldn't listen to this episode without Hamilton lyrics consistently popping into my head
Hamilton could legally be president. There was an section in the constitution that said anyone who was in the US at the time the constitution could become president. So he could have become president if he hadn't been shot, published a pamphlet about having an affair, and if his son hadn't died. There were a few things in the way of him becoming president.
Anna Ferguson what i was thinking
HIGHLIGHTS!

Something cheating on your wife THEN WRITING AND PUBLISHING A PAMPHLET ABOUT IT
You are correct that the Constitution didn't bar A. Ham from becoming president, but his "foreign" birth was still used as a political point against him.

Thomas Jefferson loved the French...
"We almost died in a trench while you were off getting high with the french"
+Elizabeth Strasemeier It's "high" with the French? I thought the lyric was "hot". As in, sleeping with every French woman who would have him.
They call me a francophile, but at least they know I know where France is.

There are wise words, enterprising men quote'm.

"...passive-aggressive attempts to impose your ideology upon other people." - 98% of all youtube comments, lol.
98% of all TH-cam videos.... Crash Course included!
+Jennifer Boergers Overt attempts to push your ideology on other people via shaming language: Almost all of this series so far to this point.
The youtube comments on the series, this quote from this specific video, or the actual series itself?
the video series itself. the "your" should really be "one's" or "his" i guess to clarify
I think it's pretty tricky to create any kind of video series that doesn't contain some bias. I think this series works hard to approach complex subjects from a variety of perspectives. I don't really see the shaming language parts. Is it the "me from the past" segments?
When Britain taxed our tea we got frisky, imagine whats gonna happen when they try to tax our whiskey.
+Grace Reed Get kinda mad and start a rebellion that George Washington leads to quell, then just kinds forget about it for a while?

"Who lives who dies who tells your story" Alex is pretty lucky to have such a successful play written about him in a positive light. Based on this video, he doesn't seem to be such a good person.
He should update this video but choc full of Hamilton references.
Wait for it.
So weird watching this like I kept remembering lines from Cabinet Battle #1 all the way through
He should update it because Hamilton could have ran for president and he gave incorrect information.
Jack W No.
TRUE!!
5:48 "Imagine what gon' happen when you try to tax our whiskey"
"The beautiful wavy hair of a Caribbean God."
Ooh someone has a mancrush on Hamilton :).
The more I learn about Thomas Jefferson the more conflicted a character he seems to me to be. He loved democracy and egalitarianism (as do I), but he was a VERY wealthy slave owner. Anyone want to recommend a good biography on Jefferson? There must be a dozen.
Oh, more than that. I would look at his autobiography, the book American Sphinx by Ellis, and is you REALLY want to dig in, Dumas Malone's 6 Volume biography.
Also if you want a odd angle, check The Jefferson Bible: The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth. In this Jefferson, a Deist, tried to "combine the biographical information about Jesus' life from all four gospels into one version, and he took out the supernatural events." He did this to try to distill the focus of Jesus' teachings. Needless to say, it's an unusual and somewhat controversial work.
Dreamcastpowa I disagree. Jefferson was not "smart enough to know… [slaves] shouldn't be freed right now." Everyone who held such a view was a damn fool. Slaves should have been freed immediately.
I agree that many people based their opinion that the slaves should not be free on their own experiences and the experiences of Santo Domingo. I also agree that slavery was important and that abolition was messy, but it was still right and good and long over due.
Jeremy Fridy I must disagree. While you are essentially correct that slavery was the great compromise, there was nothing essential about kicking it down the road (especially after the Constitution had been ratified). While abolition would have been a difficult and divisive thing, it only became more so over time. The southern economy was less reliant on slavery than they would be later on, and the longer that system was in place the more difficult it became to overcome. While we can never know for sure, it is almost certain that abolition would have been far easier to implement in the 1790's than it was in the 1860's. I agree that our Founding Fathers were products of their time, and everything is now judged by hindsight. Still, it makes no sense to ignore hindsight. We can no more say that the great compromise was a necessary choice than say that the trail of tears was a necessary choice. While this idea of necessity justified the compromise at the time, we ought to learn from the ultimate failures of that sort of compromise (assuming we agree that the Civil War ultimately marks the great compromise as a failure). In a world that enables and incentivizes certain evils, we will trend further towards rather than away from those evils.
But Southern States repeatedly said they needed slavery to be legal or they would not join. They said they would leave the union over taxes and tariffs, much less property seizure, which is what it would have been seen as. The demanded that slaves be counted as 3/5ths of a citizen just so they could keep up with representative strength in the House.
I'm not saying it wouldn't have been easier to attempt to implement logistically, but it would have led to the South leaving, though at that period it might have avoided a war, just leaving two separate nations, and probably less hostile ones than later. Asking the wealthy aristocracy to give up their labor source and symbol of power is a hard sell, especially since they had just finished a war where keeping their property safe from the government was seen as part of the reason for fighting.
Change some names around and John could easily be talking about America's current state of affairs. It's sad how little such things have changed.
*mentally assaulted by Hamilton references after every single line*
its just like the cabinet battle omg omg
The thought bubble of Donald Trump as a visual for rich when describing the assets of presidents according to federalists is just too gosh darn effective and fitting. I laughed out loud. :P
And this was in 2013
Mitchell Dodson wow
"I mean, just think if the federalist party had survived we might have had a bunch of, like, Bushes and Kennedies [and Trumps] as presidents"
And frighteningly prescient...
I needed to doble cheek the date to see if he was elected

that Thoughtcafe graffic at 3:26 was actually pretty epic
I love the little out of context background jokes in these videos. I use them to study rather than concentrate on the book so much and its so refreshing to notice the little funny details every new time I run though it. (8:43 50 shades of gray reference)

"Alexander Hamilton"
Me: *Internal screaming*
"The Electoral College system would continue to misrepresent the will of the American voters, most notably in 1876, 1888, and 2000"
...aaaand now again in 2016. You guys are really good at this!
WanderingRandomer you don't understand America or the intent of the founders.
Deplorable Bias well in all thouse cases a president was elected without the popular vote. Most people did not vote for these people how did they get into office in a DEMOCRACY?!!! The electoral college that's how. So what is it that he/she and I do not anderstand?
"I'm a part of the patriarchy, so I probably deserved that" every time I think John Green can't get any more perfect, HE GETS EVEN MORE PERFECT.
Poor New Jersey, lololol.
Loaded with authentic information, just love this crash course series.
"the beautiful flowing hair of a Caribbean God"
You folks do a wonderful job of explaining the complicated and often weird/awful history of our nation. Great work! Keep it up!
I apologize if I have missed the obvious, but does "Crash Course" share any of its source material? Or maybe there is a list list of recommended books for further reading related to various topics that an interested reader can follow up on? I love the series!
Thank you,

Thank goodness for this video! I needed to write an essay on what led to the rise of political parties in the 1790s!!!
Everything we can interpret has ideology within its body of thought. This includes everything you are interpreting. I appreciate seeing your perspective. The old 6 and 9 debate of who is seeing the subject more clearly.

+Adi Jolish "born in America" hahaha Ted Cruz
+Adi Jolish
As an admirer of Hamilton, there was unfortunately, more to it than that. Shortly before the election of 1796 Hamilton published an absurd, hyperbolic attack on John Adams that one can, I think, reasonably say cost Adams the election. While Adams had grown to hate Hamilton, they were of the same party and in general agreement on key issues and it was an act of political suicide for Hamilton, who could be rash and self destructive to attack his own party. Hamilton's greatest achievements were made in the service of and under the the influence of George Washington. Some historians think that Washington's premature death denied Hamilton the stabilizing influence of his mentor and collaborator and that Washington's simple existence would have spared Hamilton from this error.
Hamilton also died too soon. He was much younger than the vast majority of the founding generation. He was just three years old than James Monroe who was the last of that generation to become president.
+Home On a Weekday Yeah, it doesn't say you have to be born in America. It says born citizen. Which includes people with American parents.
"The charge against me is a connection with one James Reynolds for purposes of improper speculation. My real crime is an amorous connection with his wife for a considerable time with his knowing consent." DAAAAAMMMNN!!!!!!

Cabinet Battle #1.
I know I'm a little late to the game, but I'm a high school drop out who's always loved knowledge except when his teachers were trying to share it with him. I found a few lecturers really interesting when I was in school but I never cared for the part where i was expected to read stuff then answer questions and receive a grade. I come from an IV league family and they were really stoked about this. I've now watched Crash Course World History 1 and 2 and have started on US History. This puts compendium of the human story into a succinct, quasi linear, and thought provoking enough narrative that I feel I can begin studying history more in depth on my own with out getting lost, and I have. It's not like I haven't tried to educate myself with documentaries and visits to museums and online texts, or my favorite; the inaccurate Hollywood movie, but the fast pace and sparkly attractive colors of Thought Bubble are just my speed.Thanks guys! Also Mr. Green you're one of the only Humans I've ever encountered that can so easily and warmly smile without actually using his mouth in said facial activity. It took me till this episode to notice you do that. You smile with your whole face, sans your mouth. How does that happen? Also your good at history. Just wanted to say thank you!
your videos are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I couldn't pass APush without you. THANKYOUUUUUUUU
