    If you share this video, let me know your favorite part and what other topic you'd like to see an animated video of.

      I just shared the video!! My favorite part was the Yellow Journalism, it was so cool you incorporated that into the video because it is such a significant (and often forgotten about) part of the Spanish American War. I would love an animated video about the suffragist movement, Susan B Anthony and Frederick Douglass, or the civil rights movement. Thanks again!

      How can I go on
      With that bomb in the palm
      Love’s so hard to find
      When someone’s on your mind

    So you can only give 8 minutes and 5 seconds to the rough riders and teddy Roosevelt and there's something wrong with that

    So did the rough riders take the credit for taking the hill? or did the buffalo soldiers team up with them?

    • @MrBettsClass
      @MrBettsClass  Před 5 lety

      Buffalo Soldiers routinely took hills first. I love Teddy but his assessment of Buffalo Soldiers gets progressively worse in his own records.

      Ok, thank you. Wow I never thought the legend himself might answer my question!
