Many of those original politicians who wrote the framework for our country served their country(s) for many decades. If you add in Washington’s army service under Britain, he served just short of 50 years until his death in December 1799. He even returned to service under Adams after he chose to not seek a 3rd term. Most all of them were actually career politicians. It has always been that way. You really don’t want term limits. You know how term limits on the president have taken away your voice - you know how we never have someone to vote FOR.

"Country faced years of economic hardship, state governments were widely disorganised, insurections weren't uncommon and the continental Congress was toothless and ineffective", the more things change the more they stay the same
If you listen to the video again, you'll notice that the period you are referring to is during the Articles of Confederation, BEFORE the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The Constitution created a Strong central government. which did NOT exist under The Articles of Confederation. There was NO executive branch, and The Congress was led by the President, whose term was but one year long. That's why you'll hear some people call Washington the Seventh or Eighth President.

American history is SOOOOO AWESOME to learn about. Thank you guys for this channel. Academia and much of entertainment media hardly ever covers this stuff or does so in a disgustingly biased way.
@bigploppa154 That's not true at all. First, you had the Continental Army, which was led by Gen. George Washington. The Congress that existed at the time was in charge of paying the soldiers as well as the hiring and firing of top officers. The Continental Army was supplemented by the various state militias which were obviously directed by their state congress. The Continental Army was paid by Congress. After the fighting ended, the back payment of soldiers was a very big deal. It had been ages since soldiers had gotten paid and they couldn't feed their families. Soldiers were threatening to abandon their posts while others were threatening a coup. Alexander Hamilton wrote to George Washington and told him that hearing from the General himself could help sway Congress. Washington refused, instead addressing his soldiers in what would be known as the Newberg Address, which completely changed the tone of his men. The Continental Army was an army in name and reality, and payment was expected and had been provided.
I was reading Washington's Farewell Address the other day and something that seemed so interesting to me was how much he stressed that we remain neutral in domestic and foreign politics. He detested parties, although he did admit they could be useful in certain times, but my favorite quote was this one: “The Nation, which indulges towards another an habitual hatred, or an habitual fondness, is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest. ... The Nation, prompted by ill-will and resentment, sometimes impels to war the Government, contrary to the best calculations of policy. The Government sometimes participates in the national propensity, and adopts through passion what reason would reject; at other times, it makes the animosity of the nation subservient to projects of hostility instigated by pride, ambition, and other sinister and pernicious motives. The peace often, sometimes perhaps the liberty, of Nations has been the victim.” He was one of the first advocators of American isolationism and neutrality and he believed that our foreign policy should just be trade and commerce-based. We could use our geographical distance from Europe to avoid their pointless wars. How things have changed.
Well the “world” powers at that time were Britain and France…and many people after the war proposed not favoring one nation over the other…for good reason!
Although I understand his point in being neutral, but if France had not helped and had the same disposition for neutrality then we would’ve lost the war against England.
What a fascinating insight on America after the war of independence ended, Weird History. I remember seeing Liberty's Kids of how the country was being impacted following the war. The hardship of the Loyalists, Shays Rebellion, etc. Man, this is good.
John Signs There wasn’t even a right wing back then how was it following a right wing agenda. It even had a black guy named Moses as one of the main characters and pointed it out when the colonists did something unjust.
My 5th great grandfather on my dad's mom's side, Alexander Harrison Sr., was actually a guard in Independence Hall when the Declaration of Independence was read and signed. It's pretty cool to learn I had a direct relative that was witness to that event. Genealogy really is a fantastic way to get in touch with the past.
@@godscommandmentsaretruthis2837 one of my great grandfathers was William Bradford, the second governor of Massachusetts colony, who had also been a passenger on the Mayflower. His journals became what is known as the book entitled "Of Plymouth Plantation," which is one of the earliest known accounts of what it was like living in the colonies. And there are two or three other lines of passengers on that ship that I descend from as well. I can even trace one or two lines further back from that. It is pretty neat.
My 5th great grandfather was a Loyalist who lost the family estate in New York and got exiled to New Brunswick, lol. Took the family over a hundred years to start filtering back into America, again . . .
Even being a US soldier now I find it inspiring how the rebels fought back so viciously over taxes and only a glimpse of an idea of independence, putting their lives on the line for an idea
With a LOT of help from the French ; over 40.000 French soldiers and sailors, 80% guns and gunpowder came from the French, plus millions in loans. Plus more help from the Dutch and Spanish..... Without the French help the uprising would've been stopped within a few weeks... ...But,,, it wouldn't have ended there , other uprisings would have happened until they eventually won their independence ,
You did not mention “The Newburgh Conspiracy” wherein Washington was offered the Crown to become King of the new country. which he readily refused.. in my opinion, that is when Washington truly became the Father of Country, making sure that one totalitarian regime was not replaced by another totalitarian regime...
No, that wasn't it. The Newburgh Conspiracy was an effort by officers of the Continental Army to mutiny and attempt, by armed force, to force the Continental Congress to give them the back pay they were owed. Washington, by the mere force of his personality, talked them out of it. There never was a serious effort to give Washington the crown. The idea was suggested, at a fairly low level, at some point, and he scotched it quick.

Thank you for this interesting video. It' s interesting to note (not mentioned in the video) that most Loyalists were shipped off to Nova Scotia where they would be safe from retaliation. They left most of their wealth behind and their homes were auctioned off to patriots as a means to recoup losses during the war.
Nova Scotia was also where many of the former slaves who were promised freedom if they fought for the British were taken. They established a settlement in Halifax called Africville. During the War of 1812, the Brits again promised slaves their freedom if they fought for the crown. The Corps of Colonial Marines, as they were called, were involved in the burning of the White House. After the Brits lost the War of 1812, they again evacuated former slaves to Canada and the West Indies.
@@MrPerfesser British didn't lose the war of 1812 , America did , the US fought for.. but achieved NONE of their objectives , Britain gained the sea rights & other things. Some American historians admit the USA lost others claim it was a draw , , lol It hurts I know it hurts ..lol
Was I just stupid in school? Because I remember learning about Shay's Rebellion but never understanding the significance of it and why we had to learn about it. I finally get the context and closure that I never got with my teachers.
240 years, ,,, England's history is well over 2040 years I guess we take it for granted, being surrounded with medieval buildings, have Saxon churches, and Roman ruins , & even older Celtic settlement boundaries, huge ditches deeper than most houses .
Jesus was born to a virgin, turned water to wine, taught, healed the sick, raised the dead, casted out demons, walked on water, and calmed the storm, among many other things. He was killed, and three days later He rose from the dead. Forty days later He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father. He is returning very soon, but before He does, Satan, the devil, is coming to pretend to be Jesus. Satan is an angel, and he will have certain supernatural powers with which to try to fool everyone. He will, for example, be able to make fire come down from heaven in the sight of men. He will only be on earth a short time before the real King of Kings, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, returns. When the real Jesus comes we will all be transformed into our spiritual bodies at the same moment. Jesus came to offer forgiveness of sins and eternal life to anyone who believes and calls on His precious name. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; - Romans 3:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. - Romans 6:23 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. - John 3:16-18 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. - Psalm 32:11 Help spread the message Bitcoin: 36a1caaMMYv8SLffwYhypdUrsSU2hDd1Nu Etherium: 0xd69d77932D80c0315163527C094f1C9aae0E31eD Dash: XmmJZqnchyL9GK1JXavi2b2zbvC1iGV4jR Litecoin: MCQHG8N2o1oZ2dDLyC7LjLQACf8hkRYprb Buy cryptocurrencies here: www.coinbase.com/join/rodger_b5a
That would be really cool. It might be complicated because events that deserve their own videos. Like the Marshal Plan, Nuremburg Trials, COMECON, The Yangtze Incident (and the Able Sea Cat that saved the crew of the HMS Amethyst), etc.
And the story about Hirohito's surrender, recorded on wax records, was smuggled and hidden from the Japanese Army, who wanted a coup de tat. It was almost never heard. That would have been catastrophic for Japan.
Yeah from what I've been able to research there were people who were for the patriots but there were many people who remain loyal to King George the 3rd and the British Parliament but it seems like the vast majority of people didn't seem to care which side won.
BATTLE OF JENKINS' FERRY they were just farmers, merchants, miners, store owners, stone cutters, blacksmiths, and, lumber men they really just didn’t care that much about who won because it had non or very little to do with them
Tbf most Americans at the time I imagine cared little for politics and just wanted to survive, it’s not like the British were going around destroying the colonies like in The Patriot, they literally protected the colonies and won the French&Indian war and the taxes on tea were to help pay for that war...
I wish we would have stayed under the British. They killed Thomas McKean 1776-1831 and Thomas McKean 1799-1831 for their bank. They even severed their heads for it. It was a super evil savage system.
@@SandvichTrolli48 I guess its like that in all countries, ordinary people lives dont change for the better, the rich make the rules, start wars , keep taxes , and working class people carry on working,
Great video. I think the founding fathers and all of the patriots at that time did a fantastic job. They left us a republic if we can keep it. God bless America. 🇺🇸
Indeed they were a brilliant group of leaders. The right men who lead at the right time, set up a lasting government with constitution and then stepped down and went back to farming.
Well i'll be damned! Congratulations and WELL DONE! you are the first TH-cam channel to cover this time period with out getting insanely woke, or flat out lying about what went on... BRAVO! sincerely BRAVO! Now to be fair you left out a lot.. but then you only had 11 min... but please please keep up the good HONEST WORK... honesty is in short supply these days... especially where history is concerned. again.. BRAVO!!!!
It is amazing the foresight and history that the founding fathers of the Constitution had to create a document that has endured the tests of time and its value to protect the people of this country !
Not really, as it was a totally functioning state from 1785-1861 and a partially functioning wartime state during the civil war and still fully functional from 1865-2001. 9/11's political and social impact is what made this nation what it is today, though it was going this way since the late 1980s, it wasnt in full swing until recently. And even then our country is still functional, if much less so than before.
It is more "Democracy" than Democracy. No one listens to the other side. Just bickering and refusing to pass the other side's bills because the party tells them to. Republicans and Democrats should be ashamed of what they did to the United States.
JV Sobolova Republicans have been moving toward the center gradually while Democrats have gone so far Left they are indistinguishable from Communists that hate America.
I dare say the majority of Americans especially the young take for granted the freedoms we have today, what the sad part is they may live their entire lives never fully appreciating the human cost for their liberty that they enjoy everyday.
A couple of important missed points: one Washington who had been at war off and on most of his life wanted to emulate the famous Roman general Cincinnatus and retire to his farm. More importantly, as often the case, you make it sound like the Bill of Rights appeared out of the ether. It was almost directly taken from the Virginia bill of Rights.
I'll say this: They would take one look at our executive branch under BOTH parties and its massive bureaucracy and say "What kind of leader do you have here, a President or an elected Emperor?!"
Not all of them. Especially Alexander Hamilton. Today's America is the America he wanted it to be: a world power ruled by a superpowerful POTUS that is also a banking giant...
Am I like the only one who noticed that the Frill de Shoulder Military disappeared after the American Revolutionary War ended? I really wish I lived back in those days. Especially those pioneer hats. Very nice! Thankfully, they still make pioneer hats to this very day. But, sadly, the Frill de Shoulder Military will forever be in the pages of history.
This actually makes me sad. Back then America was an abstract idea turned into passionate patriotism. Now it's too far gone to be anything resembling what the founders intended or envisioned.
just remind people that the very first thing that's written in the united states declaration of independence is that nobody is born into this country: that we are all born in nature, under nature's god, with liberty and equal station. the only way to restore some of what's been lost is for people to start throwing those 1900s birth certificates back into the trash that they crawled out of. we shouldn't be like the old world, where citizenship is forced, or artificially created through manipulation, and determined according to bloodlines and territory. citizenship should come naturally as a matter of choice and our new world should be kept separate from the old world.
A fascinating twist is that for about 20 days we had a Congress with no President. Congress was formed first and then the President sworn in a few weeks later. it is completely unknown what would have happened if an event during those 20 days had required executive action since all we had at the time was a legislative branch.
I was raised in FL. Most ppl don't know that the oldest established city in America is St Augustine. Would absolutely love it if you could do a video on FL and Juan Ponce de Leon. FL has so much history good and unfortunately bad. Was home to many Native Americans. You can still find Native American artifacts on almost any land. I went to Calusa Elementary School in New Port Richey FL the first year it was opened. Named after the Calusa Native Americans
It didn't belong to the USA until 1821 , before then it was part of the Spanish colony,, then British for 20 years, then Spanish again, finally they sold it to the USA ( in Florida I believe)
Great informative video, thanks. I think one lesson to learn from it was after the war, there were many different opinions about what the country should become. It took time to debate ideas and all sides had to make compromises to come together and form the first model for freedom and democracy in the modern world at that time.
We all knew what happens after a revolution, another war “History is much like an endless waltz. The three beats of war, peace and revolution continue on forever.” ~ _Mariemaia Kushrenada, Gundam Wings Endless Waltz_
Baling Jiech It’s real but it doesn’t warrant the response it got. Even if you think it did, the numbers show that things are worse than if we had literally done nothing.
Those first few weeks/ months after Yorktown must have been pretty scary, actually. The law must have been overseen by the local militias in alot of the rural places(which was most places). This rarely turns out good. local bullyboys settling alot of petty squabbles, I'd imagine.
Evacuation Day was the last day when the last British soldiers left America. It's also known in my house as the day of each month when I eat a lot of fiber and soundproof my bathroom. P.S. - if you pause this video at 10:48 you'll be able to see how much John Hancock looks like Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary.
British and American politicians were talking to each other about ending the war long before it officially ended. Even if the war didn't happen it wouldn't have been long before Britain acknowledged the independence, it was costing Britain a lot more than they were getting in return Part of the reason it continued for so many years was because of the French involvement, before then many British politicians were being harassed by the British public who saw it as a political issue, many had family in America, most founding fathers had relatives in Britain. But propaganda made out it was a necessary war against the French. Also most of the British army were in other parts of the world, mainly India, in other countries that were very profitable for the British. American independence was inevitable, but after the war in America and without British money and trade times weren't easy, To this day the USA pays more taxes to their government than British, the USA has no free healthcare, or free meds Like the British do, the US people have less paid holidays than the British. We don't need health insurance, everything is free. We don't need to take unpaid holidays, .. Already the US government owes China well over a $trillion dollars ( plus interest) Which is crazy for a country that had so many natural resources, inc Gold, silver , oil , etc.
Great choice. One of the most important wars in European history that is often overshadowed by the war of the Spanish succession but ultimately was more important to the future. It also featured the rise and fall of one of the most brilliant military commanders in history in King Charles XII of Sweden. An entire weird history episode can be written about him alone. He was one interesting character! For example, dude hunted bears with a knife. lol
AtlasNovack that was all part of his personality, his style. He was proud, arrogant, supremely overconfident and did not hold the Russian army or Peter I in high regard militarily. He felt his numerically inferior but better trained and more experienced Swedish troops could quickly defeat the Russians and cause a coup against Peter by displeased Boyars. He also expected the support of the Cossack Hetman Mazepa, which was thwarted when the Russians burned his capital. In all fairness, his army survived not one, but two winters in Russia before being decisively defeated at Poltava in July, 1709. The winter of 1709 was especially brutal, characterized by historians as part of the “Little Ice Age” in the Northern Hemisphere. Despite all of this, however, Charles nearly pulled it off.
@@edmundcarter2610 I still would've let Peter have his port on the baltic in exchange for taking a huge bite out of his empire and having a big role in arbiting over peace talks in the war of the spanish succession. He could've won, but instead he had to be too big for his britches and try and dunk on Peter, which failed.
AtlasNovack So too would have I, agreed, at least knowing what we know now. Charles, however, had no desire nor reason to agree to Peter’s offer of an alliance or commercial agreement. Sweden was still at the apex of her power and Charles saw his duty as a monarch to dominate. The Russians made no attempt to hold on to the Baltic region under Tsar Michael, so Charles did not feel compelled to share the spoils of trade and looked to prevent Peter’s access to the West via the sea. Northern Europe wasn’t big enough for two dominant powers, so Charles did what he felt was best at the time and had history and tradition on his side. The Poles had invaded Moskovy and occupied Moscow roughly 80 years before, and Russian military successes since then were very far and few in between. In his defense, therefore, Charles had no reason to doubt his decision and the chances for his success, however misguided they were.
I had a ancestor who fought for the British, after the war he was gunned down in his house in South Carolina, I guess that's how they played it back then, gangsta.

@bigploppa154 That's not true at all.
First, you had the Continental Army, which was led by Gen. George Washington. The Congress that existed at the time was in charge of paying the soldiers as well as the hiring and firing of top officers.
The Continental Army was supplemented by the various state militias which were obviously directed by their state congress.
The Continental Army was paid by Congress. After the fighting ended, the back payment of soldiers was a very big deal. It had been ages since soldiers had gotten paid and they couldn't feed their families. Soldiers were threatening to abandon their posts while others were threatening a coup. Alexander Hamilton wrote to George Washington and told him that hearing from the General himself could help sway Congress. Washington refused, instead addressing his soldiers in what would be known as the Newberg Address, which completely changed the tone of his men.
The Continental Army was an army in name and reality, and payment was expected and had been provided.
I was reading Washington's Farewell Address the other day and something that seemed so interesting to me was how much he stressed that we remain neutral in domestic and foreign politics. He detested parties, although he did admit they could be useful in certain times, but my favorite quote was this one: “The Nation, which indulges towards another an habitual hatred, or an habitual fondness, is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest. ... The Nation, prompted by ill-will and resentment, sometimes impels to war the Government, contrary to the best calculations of policy. The Government sometimes participates in the national propensity, and adopts through passion what reason would reject; at other times, it makes the animosity of the nation subservient to projects of hostility instigated by pride, ambition, and other sinister and pernicious motives. The peace often, sometimes perhaps the liberty, of Nations has been the victim.” He was one of the first advocators of American isolationism and neutrality and he believed that our foreign policy should just be trade and commerce-based. We could use our geographical distance from Europe to avoid their pointless wars. How things have changed.
Too bad he didn't detest Slavery as well.
Well the “world” powers at that time were Britain and France…and many people after the war proposed not favoring one nation over the other…for good reason!
He was a president for the people unless you were a minority.
@@mister_evarts He was an amazing man. Children like you would never measure up.
Although I understand his point in being neutral, but if France had not helped and had the same disposition for neutrality then we would’ve lost the war against England.
America was blessed early on to have 10-12 geniuses to help found our country. A fact that NO other young country in history has repeated.

My 5th great grandfather on my dad's mom's side, Alexander Harrison Sr., was actually a guard in Independence Hall when the Declaration of Independence was read and signed. It's pretty cool to learn I had a direct relative that was witness to that event. Genealogy really is a fantastic way to get in touch with the past.

That's cool... I used to work with a guy who claimed he could trace his ancestry to the Mayflower.
@@godscommandmentsaretruthis2837 one of my great grandfathers was William Bradford, the second governor of Massachusetts colony, who had also been a passenger on the Mayflower. His journals became what is known as the book entitled "Of Plymouth Plantation," which is one of the earliest known accounts of what it was like living in the colonies. And there are two or three other lines of passengers on that ship that I descend from as well. I can even trace one or two lines further back from that. It is pretty neat.

Washington owned up to 300 slaves
@@oceanrock733 and your point is?
@@oceanrock733 what was the point of that?
No, that wasn't it. The Newburgh Conspiracy was an effort by officers of the Continental Army to mutiny and attempt, by armed force, to force the Continental Congress to give them the back pay they were owed. Washington, by the mere force of his personality, talked them out of it.
There never was a serious effort to give Washington the crown. The idea was suggested, at a fairly low level, at some point, and he scotched it quick.
This was great..!

Thank you for this interesting video. It' s interesting to note (not mentioned in the video) that most Loyalists were shipped off to Nova Scotia where they would be safe from retaliation. They left most of their wealth behind and their homes were auctioned off to patriots as a means to recoup losses during the war.
Lol “See ya wouldn’t want to be ya!” 👋🏻
To be safe or to take their wealth?
Nova Scotia was also where many of the former slaves who were promised freedom if they fought for the British were taken. They established a settlement in Halifax called Africville. During the War of 1812, the Brits again promised slaves their freedom if they fought for the crown. The Corps of Colonial Marines, as they were called, were involved in the burning of the White House. After the Brits lost the War of 1812, they again evacuated former slaves to Canada and the West Indies.
@@MrPerfesser British didn't lose the war of 1812 ,

Was I just stupid in school? Because I remember learning about Shay's Rebellion but never understanding the significance of it and why we had to learn about it.

Jesus was born to a virgin, turned water to wine, taught, healed the sick, raised the dead, casted out demons, walked on water, and calmed the storm, among many other things. He was killed, and three days later He rose from the dead. Forty days later He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father. He is returning very soon, but before He does, Satan, the devil, is coming to pretend to be Jesus. Satan is an angel, and he will have certain supernatural powers with which to try to fool everyone. He will, for example, be able to make fire come down from heaven in the sight of men. He will only be on earth a short time before the real King of Kings, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, returns. When the real Jesus comes we will all be transformed into our spiritual bodies at the same moment. Jesus came to offer forgiveness of sins and eternal life to anyone who believes and calls on His precious name.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; - Romans 3:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. - Romans 6:23
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. - John 3:16-18
Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. - Psalm 32:11

@@widyasantoso4910 thx for letting me know i watched some of his vids he really knows his stuff
Yeah from what I've been able to research there were people who were for the patriots but there were many people who remain loyal to King George the 3rd and the British Parliament but it seems like the vast majority of people didn't seem to care which side won.
BATTLE OF JENKINS' FERRY they were just farmers, merchants, miners, store owners, stone cutters, blacksmiths, and, lumber men they really just didn’t care that much about who won because it had non or very little to do with them
Tbf most Americans at the time I imagine cared little for politics and just wanted to survive, it’s not like the British were going around destroying the colonies like in The Patriot, they literally protected the colonies and won the French&Indian war and the taxes on tea were to help pay for that war...
@Ya Boii kind of ironic because many of these colonists owned slaves.
I wish we would have stayed under the British. They killed Thomas McKean 1776-1831 and Thomas McKean 1799-1831 for their bank. They even severed their heads for it. It was a super evil savage system.
@@SandvichTrolli48 I guess its like that in all countries, ordinary people lives dont change for the better, the rich make the rules, start wars , keep taxes , and working class people carry on working,

“After America actual won it’s independence and became a functioning nation”
Functioning’s a strong word
Rome wasn't built in a day.
Not really, as it was a totally functioning state from 1785-1861 and a partially functioning wartime state during the civil war and still fully functional from 1865-2001. 9/11's political and social impact is what made this nation what it is today, though it was going this way since the late 1980s, it wasnt in full swing until recently. And even then our country is still functional, if much less so than before.

This actually makes me sad. Back then America was an abstract idea turned into passionate patriotism. Now it's too far gone to be anything resembling what the founders intended or envisioned.
just remind people that the very first thing that's written in the united states declaration of independence is that nobody is born into this country: that we are all born in nature, under nature's god, with liberty and equal station. the only way to restore some of what's been lost is for people to start throwing those 1900s birth certificates back into the trash that they crawled out of.
we shouldn't be like the old world, where citizenship is forced, or artificially created through manipulation, and determined according to bloodlines and territory.
citizenship should come naturally as a matter of choice and our new world should be kept separate from the old world.

I went to Calusa Elementary School in New Port Richey FL the first year it was opened. Named after the Calusa Native Americans
It didn't belong to the USA until 1821 , before then it was part of the Spanish colony,, then British for 20 years, then Spanish again, finally they sold it to the USA ( in Florida I believe)

It’s real but it doesn’t warrant the response it got. Even if you think it did, the numbers show that things are worse than if we had literally done nothing.
Those first few weeks/ months after Yorktown must have been pretty scary, actually. The law must have been overseen by the local militias in alot of the rural places(which was most places). This rarely turns out good. local bullyboys settling alot of petty squabbles, I'd imagine.
Evacuation Day was the last day when the last British soldiers left America. It's also known in my house as the day of each month when I eat a lot of fiber and soundproof my bathroom. P.S. - if you pause this video at 10:48 you'll be able to see how much John Hancock looks like Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary.
British and American politicians were talking to each other about ending the war long before it officially ended.
Even if the war didn't happen it wouldn't have been long before Britain acknowledged the independence, it was costing Britain a lot more than they were getting in return
Part of the reason it continued for so many years was because of the French involvement, before then many British politicians were being harassed by the British public who saw it as a political issue, many had family in America, most founding fathers had relatives in Britain.
But propaganda made out it was a necessary war against the French.
Also most of the British army were in other parts of the world, mainly India, in other countries that were very profitable for the British.
American independence was inevitable, but after the war in America and without British money and trade times weren't easy,
To this day the USA pays more taxes to their government than British, the USA has no free healthcare, or free meds
Like the British do, the US people have less paid holidays than the British.
We don't need health insurance, everything is free.
We don't need to take unpaid holidays, ..
Already the US government owes China well over a $trillion dollars ( plus interest)
Which is crazy for a country that had so many natural resources, inc Gold, silver , oil , etc.
Great presentation ! Everyone should watch this.
Not American related, but I wanna know some stuff about the Great Northern War!
Great choice. One of the most important wars in European history that is often overshadowed by the war of the Spanish succession but ultimately was more important to the future. It also featured the rise and fall of one of the most brilliant military commanders in history in King Charles XII of Sweden. An entire weird history episode can be written about him alone. He was one interesting character! For example, dude hunted bears with a knife. lol
@@edmundcarter2610 that guy is the ultimate in lack of foresight, and is the OG dont-invade-russia-in-winter
AtlasNovack that was all part of his personality, his style. He was proud, arrogant, supremely overconfident and did not hold the Russian army or Peter I in high regard militarily. He felt his numerically inferior but better trained and more experienced Swedish troops could quickly defeat the Russians and cause a coup against Peter by displeased Boyars. He also expected the support of the Cossack Hetman Mazepa, which was thwarted when the Russians burned his capital. In all fairness, his army survived not one, but two winters in Russia before being decisively defeated at Poltava in July, 1709. The winter of 1709 was especially brutal, characterized by historians as part of the “Little Ice Age” in the Northern Hemisphere. Despite all of this, however, Charles nearly pulled it off.
@@edmundcarter2610 I still would've let Peter have his port on the baltic in exchange for taking a huge bite out of his empire and having a big role in arbiting over peace talks in the war of the spanish succession. He could've won, but instead he had to be too big for his britches and try and dunk on Peter, which failed.
AtlasNovack So too would have I, agreed, at least knowing what we know now. Charles, however, had no desire nor reason to agree to Peter’s offer of an alliance or commercial agreement. Sweden was still at the apex of her power and Charles saw his duty as a monarch to dominate. The Russians made no attempt to hold on to the Baltic region under Tsar Michael, so Charles did not feel compelled to share the spoils of trade and looked to prevent Peter’s access to the West via the sea. Northern Europe wasn’t big enough for two dominant powers, so Charles did what he felt was best at the time and had history and tradition on his side. The Poles had invaded Moskovy and occupied Moscow roughly 80 years before, and Russian military successes since then were very far and few in between. In his defense, therefore, Charles had no reason to doubt his decision and the chances for his success, however misguided they were.
I had a ancestor who fought for the British, after the war he was gunned down in his house in South Carolina, I guess that's how they played it back then, gangsta.
