@@Cam.co17776 the family didn’t. And sadly I know for a fact that a lot of college age kids couldn’t tell you any of that information. As a matter of fact, at a previous job I held last year, I worked with a lot of these people. I asked them basic questions: “Who fought in the Revolutionary War? “Who won the Revolutionary War?” “What war took place in 1812?” and since we live in Texas “Who won at the Battle of the Alamo?” Most of these questions and others like them were answered with “I don’t know.” ….

@@officerrebar3839 I’m Filipino and I appreciate the facts. The Philippines and the U.S. has a long history since the Spanish-American war and I am interested in learning the history of my country and yours more.

I live not to far away from Lexington and went there to!

canada was pissed with the us after that. in 1812 they burn down the white house and win the war of 1812

But like in Return of the Jedi, the Empire failed to stop the rebellion. 😂

Except every state Gold has been found so Technically he was right

Amusingly enough, the gold everywhere helped to create modern economic theory and the idea of inflation. Spain stole a couple tons of gold and silver, but not much in the way of grain. So they had lots of money, but the same amount of bread, and bread prices went up accordingly.

I was gonna say, there's gold everywhere here, though.

same lol

The natives on the island where Columbus first landed had gold on them that they were trading for their brass hawks’ bells and other things carried by the sailors. When the "island chieftain" as he called him in his journal, saw how excited the gold made them he told him that it could be found in abundance nearby and gave him an impressive mask inset with large pieces of gold.

Absolutely! All of his work is outstanding!

keeping kids laughing keeps them interested in the subject.

The war of 1812, first major US loss, they got their asses handed to them and their White House was burnt to the ground. Check out how they went attacking the Canadians, it's hilarious

This is why I love the American Revolution more than most other engagements in history. The sheer effort, grit, luck and skill of everyone involved led to victory over a more experienced military nation. It's David vs. Goliath.

We got lucky. England and France's relationship was strained from the beginning. The French saw this as a way to make the British fight on at least two fronts. Combine this with the increasing distaste for the war among the English people, and we gained our independence. It was a very close run thing.

Its because of that strained relationship that we had war...it wasn't just the lack of representation and taxes...tax structure wasn't like today...those taxes effected mainly the well off...but the proclamation line of 1765 which was the result of the French and Indian war effected those seeking to settle to the west of the Appalachian Mountains and seeking to farm land of their own...the French and Indian war is what put England and France both in debt to start with...

And the 13 stripes on the flag represent the 13 colonies

*Colonies in 1776; States in 1812.

Yes. You are correct 13 stripes thirteen colonies. But the number of states at the time of 1812 was actually 15. Ohio and Louisiana were admitted to the union prior to the war of 1812 at the time of the star spangled banner

There were 18 states during the War of 1812. Vermont was admitted in 1791, Kentucky in 1792, Tennessee in 1796, Ohio in 1803, and Louisiana just a few months before the War started in 1812. I lived in Kentucky when I was a kid, and it bugged me a little that KY didn't get to be the first state after the original 13. I got over it.

Honestly yes and no. What they probably Deep down wanted was back to salutary neglect. Bc if they got representation they still would pretty get 0 say bc their representation woukd still be extremely small. No taxation without representation was Honestly I Nice catchphrase that got more of the uneducated behind lol. It's a very simple ideal everyone can get behind.

Thank you @erica Doty, you have a wonderful and safe day on Sunday and everyday too. 😁🇺🇸 🇬🇧

No, it was not about “no taxation without representation,” that’s the propaganda they teach kids in government schools. The revolution was about liberty from tyranny, everything fought for in the Bill of Rights. Freedom from kings.

Thomas Jefferson did manage to get an amendment added to the Virginia constitution that outlawed the bringing of new slaves into Virginia, considering the times I am still amazed he managed. Also Georgia was settled to be anti-slavery because of the deep Christian beliefs of Gen. George Oglethorpe. Georgia remained that way for the 10 years Oglethorpe was there.

That's one prob I see with this simple version. Missing important facts

@@snakeinthegrass7443 Yeah, like how it was gun confiscation that started it all, not taxes.

yeah, and it really bothers me when people flippantly say that its a "free" country. no, not really, it isn't. it was paid for with the blood of those who fought for the freedoms we were born into.

@@louielee5599 what is taught in schools is determined by the government. They don't want kids to know our history, or that we have the power, or that we have unalienable rights. They are flat out brainwashing them. You know the term domestic enemies? All you have to do is look at those in government. They are today's red coats

I teach eighth grade in Arizona and I can confirm that Arizona's students are taught the foundations of our government. Whether it's enforced and reiterated at home is another story. Education is a team effort, and parenting is important.

@@gemoftheocean i guess i should go back and watch some of those schoolhouse videos and brush up on my "grammar" you must be a teacher

Sorry, School House Rock was started in 1973. I grew up on it, I was 9 years old and was a first time watcher.

Man, School House Rock takes me back to elementary school in like 2007. Makes me realize how old we all are now!

Schoolhouse Rock was wonderful!

Baltimore born and bred myself-the colonies were Britain's Vietnam-long supply lines, too much territory to cover, too expensive to fight, never knowing which people were on your side and which were only pretending to be, hit-and-run tactics against superior numbers, and another country helping the rebels. The parallels are many.

The colonies had France and Spain on their side but yeah it was pretty impressive... That the Americans could lie so hard in their declaration of independence.

Britain wasn't the superpower of the day. The british in the 1700s had little to no global influence, and they didn't have the best army, certainly not a bad one, but with the sheer numbers of colonists and the power of France and Spain bearing down on them there wasn't much they could do. Britain was yet to reach empire status and didn't hold territory in india yet, so yeah

Those who are being homeschooled sure are. I know because my sis homeschools 3 and they are learning about true American history not that crap government/public schools teach now. And with me being their aunt, they are learning how to be a true American Patriot.🇺🇸 What the schools won't teach, it is up to us older generations to teach them. Or they will never learn.

Forreal man. Our educational system is now marxist indoctrination. Look into the books they are reading to 5 year olds

I’m pretty sure every American is going to know the basic story of this...

@RetroGamerV32 I’m not American and I know a thing or two about this war.

@[redacted] • 90 years ago I bet you thought the insurrection on Jan 6 was a good idea huh?

One of the all-time best Washington moments. Washington is a very underrated politician (his Farewell Address with its warning against European entanglements is another such example of his political instincts). That was a theatrical and unbelievably important moment in American history. Had that meeting gone in a different direction, this country may have fallen apart before it ever had a chance to grow.

Jennifer: Jefferson freed only a few of his slaves in his will. Maybe a total of five and a couple before he died. About 200 slaves were sold from his estate. Some of those gained freedom other ways, I think. However, he did originally write a condemnation of slavery in the Declaration that was removed. He asserted it was an evil foisted by Great Britain on the colonies. The thing, for me, that is worth remembering is that although we can criticize Jefferson for his actions, it is difficult to do so without using language and ideas that he partially invented or was first to implement meaningfully, such as "equality." Glad you are thinking about these things. Please consider my remark an amplification of yours rather than a correction. Cheers.

@@dalecouch1995 I'll have to go back and verify, but I believe there were Virginia state laws that only allowed for a certain number to be freed in accordance to a last will and testament. The rest had to either be sold off as estate or passed to next of kin.

@@hk_802 I looked and it seemed during his lifetime he could have by law freed any slave he held between the ages of 18 (if a woman) and 21 (if a man) and 45. The fact that he only freed 5 slaves and passed over 200 hundred on in his will as objects of wealth means he either owned 200 people that were all younger than 18/21 or over 45 and kept selling the younger off before they reached 18 or 21 as to avoid having to make the decision to free them. Or only owned slaves older than 45 over the course of his life. Which... seems unlikely. Jefferson said he thought slavery was evil but made an exception for himself because he and his family were economically or habitually reliant on slave labor. Not unlike a person who says cheating is a sin and yet when they do it they had "understandable" emotional reasons for it. Except for instead of cheating it is keeping human beings in forced bondage, forcing them to work for free, with no control over their own fate and giving them to your children to own when you die.

So he didn't even free his slaves until he died? Disgraceful.

The awkward moment? Abraham Lincoln was self educated. He didn't let a lack of knowledge stop him from doing great things. Maybe it is more self realization that one needs to spend time on learning ones history. Try looking at Hillsdale College for American history. They are a Patriotic college and offer free classes. Also, Christian Books have American history books just to read. Check both sites out. What could it hurt?

@@jessiceeoriginal You misunderstood my statement. I didn’t say myself, I said Americans in general. I myself am a huge history nerd and cant get enough of it. There are a lot of American individuals who couldn’t even tell you what year the Declaration of Independence was signed and frankly dont care which is a shame. I respect this family for looking into what our own countrymen wont spend the time researching.

That awkward moment when an American engages in the thoroughly American past-time of bashing his fellow Americans in order to feel superior to them.
