Mini-bio: My name is Brady. I'm 24 years old and am a graduate student in history. I started this channel as something fun to do while I finish my schooling. My primary area of study ranges roughly from the American Revolution through the first sixty years of the 19th century. While I am a historian (with a B.A. in Liberal Arts), I am a very new historian. I am more of a learner than a teacher, so I use the react format to do a little bit of both. Also, flags are fun, and I like them very much... and video games... and maybe some other stuff. While my videos are not all history related, this channel has a serious social studies bend to it.
Bird Note: I have a bird, his name is Peridot (Peri for short). You may see him appear in some videos and not others. While he has quickly become the channel's mascot, he only appears in videos when he feels like it. I don't force him to come on camera, he just likes being around hoomans, and I am hooman. Also, understand that birds are a lot of work, so don't go out and get one impulsively just because mine appears behaved in my videos. Bird parenting is a full-time job.

Washington wasn't perfect, but you have to respect his willingness to step down. There were no term limits, Washington could have been president till the day he died. Not many people in history just give up power.
Ariana DeBose crying when singing “George Washington’s going home” gets me in the feels every single time.
Both girls, Ariana and Sasha were crying here! I can only imagine how was it to be there for them...
Actually, this performance was at the end of a workshop held at the White House for local High School students. And the Obama administration had been Hamilton fans since Lin had debuted his early draft of the Opening Number from Hamilton at the White House Poetry Jam in 2009. Over the following years, Obama himself had seen the show at least once live, and Michelle had seen it more than once. And the Obama's gave a moving introduction for the Musical via video at the 2016 Tony Awards. And Pres Obama had been a part of the Hamilton PBS special. So this audience was pretty well versed in Hamilton. I think they were all struggling/finding their own peace with saying goodbye at this moment.
you can just feel the emotion from Christopher Jackson when he sings :D
The reason they were so subdued is because they were sad, and scared. Obama is trying to enjoy this but everyone else is really sad about Obama leaving.
I remember watching this for the first time in January 2017, right before the new administration entered office. It was very emotional and poignant.
I think the muted reaction from the audience was just the sinking in that we were going from Obama to Trump. History has its eyes on our first black president who is now retiring to make way for the unknown and for many, troubling idea of a Trump presidency.
Exactly how it felt, yeah.
And since Trump resisted “saying goodbye”, insisting he wouldn’t leave the White House, inciting an insurrection, hurting the legacy of peaceful transition of power, this song resonated in my head... knowing that for the first time ever, a sitting president couldn’t respect what the others before him always have. The day of the insurrection, I watched with tears in my eyes, thinking about how the founding fathers would feel if they could foresee such a tragic event, brought on because an incumbent couldn’t accept the results of the election. It goes against everything we pride ourselves on in this democracy.
@@tassymccormick Did he respect **anything** about our institutions? At any point?
There is a version of this where Obama reads Washington's speach
There is?!
@@tassymccormick One Last Time (44 Remix). It was a Hamildrop.
I think you’re really misreading the audience reaction. The staff look like they’re trying desperately to keep a lid on it, because the emotion is palpable to me.
The original version of this song was called 'One Last Ride', and included a part where they go to Western Pennsylvania to deal with the Whisky Rebellion.
Most of the people in that room were thinking about Obama leaving and not George Washington.
A lot of people must have cried when they saw this live :'(
There were people at the end who looked like they were crying looking at Obama as Jackson sang his heart out.
That 1 dislike is from Jefferson
lol
Lol
The second is from Burr
@@xyzaxy230 the third is from James Madison
Thx for 11 likes 😙
Obama ended up doing a duet of this song with Chris which is absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend you check it out.
I feel like this song is trying to contrast Washington’s humility with Hamilton’s ambitions. It’s even a slight nod to the fact that real Hamilton wanted government officials to serve for life.
I think a lot of the focus on watching Obama was because we were so close to having to say goodbye to him when a lot of us didn't want to, knowing what was coming after. I know it definitely moved me more than I can say, looking at Obama while listening to the words of the song.
Also, this was a video released by the Obama White House from a White House event... The videos released that day were as much about the event itself as the performances. So it's not surprising that they would turn the camera to the Pres quite a bit.
“George Washington was too much of a Chad.” This made me laugh so hard! Thank you! 🤣
I just noticed. 17:09 the viola (cello? hard to tell) and violin are playing "Raise A Glass to Freedom"
Did you notice that Ron Chernow, the author of Alexander Hamilton, is sitting closest to the camera, to President Obama’s right? The white-haired gentleman facing more towards Lin and Chris than the camera. Of course, that’s the book Lin based this musical on.
"He probably would have lasted a little bit longer if he just put a coat on."
I don't know why I laughed so hard at that.
Great video! My favorite song from the show and have been waiting for this one for a while and it payed off! Also the fact that you watched and listened to a live version rather the recorded version was such a special touch!
Obama is one of the few people in that room who can identify very personally to those lyrics. He is the only president in that room.
This comment aged poorly
Obama will always live on in our hearts ;)
And in chinas pocket
@@ThatOneDude80085 being in China’s pocket is when trade
Love your historical perspective, great videos. You can find all the live Broadway performances “with embedded lyrics” on CZcams which a lot of reactors use. Would love to get your views on many of the songs you haven’t gotten to yet. Thanks and cheers!
I have a song suggestion/ artist suggestion!! Look up Ziksua. Their art is amazing. And their First Burn and Congratulations animatics are just chef kiss!! Have a great day
Loved listening to your observations on the historical perspective. Thanks!
Have u ever seen the song congratulations... it was removed from the finally play but its so good
Watching this obviously after Trump etc always makes me emotional. X
why do you say no one is enjoying it bc i clearly see everyone enjoying it
I think Michelle and Joe look like they're barely holding it together. And the one young girl with the glasses on the far right? Pretty sure she has tears running down her face.
George Washington would have lived longer if he wasn’t too much of a Chad, got it. 😂
You can sey you don't trow away your shot with life performance ...
America shutting down political diversity? I can't imagine.
iirc Ron Chernow is sitting in the front row with Obama, Biden, etc
The more a learn about Jefferson, the more I think he leaned a little more toward demagogue than either Washington or Lincoln would have ever dared???
Social stud is still a pretty cool guy
Cool Xtreme shirt :)
Amazing
If only he could have watched it without stopping to comment literally every minute.
It’s a react video, if you want to listen to just the song by yourself, then just do that
Why are you watching a reaction video if you don’t want… their reaction?
He’s adding genuine value to the video by spreading his knowledge. This is what reaction content SHOULD be.
guitarknight14 has been doing animal crossing covers if you wanna give those a try. not fully done yet though
I believe in Chris Jackson supremacy
Next time react to the world was wide enough
Biggest suggestion. Once you are done explaining things(which is amazing) let the song play all the way so we can sing along. #Hamiltonnerds
This comment will bump the number up to the number of presidents the USA has had so far :)
E
Ugh
Regan is the best but I’ll let it go lol good video
Oh god no. Trickle down economics, Iran-Contra, a "War on Drugs" that was a failure from the beginning, helping the Religious Reich gain more power...the list goes on.
There of a reason Hip Hop rappers say they are a product of Reaganomics. When you grew up poor in the 80’s, Reaganomics was a huge killer to us.
