    Hello everyone, I made an error in converting the height from the imperial system to the metric system. Thank you to all of you who have brought this to my attention. Here are the corrections:
    163 cm = 5'4
    165 cm = 5'5
    168 cm = 5'6
    170 cm = 5'7
    173 cm = 5'8
    175 cm = 5'9

      I think he would be pretty happy with that. It wasn’t like they founded America because they hated Britain, but rather believed that parliament (and the king by proxy) was denying them their rights as Englishmen. To learn that the animosities resulting from the revolution would be put aside and they could walk together as allies, that was be a merry day indeed.

    Jefferson at once being fascinated by memes (a form of popular expression) and having a terrible sense of humour make this video wildly accurate.

    • @isheetfromaswhole3657
      @isheetfromaswhole3657 Před rokem +39

      Jefferson would not be fascinated by memes because memes existed in his time.
      Parody, satire, humorous takes on ideas, exaggerating something, and plain old making fun of a thing or mocking a thing.
      I hate the word meme because people actually think it is a new thing.

    • @Starfire861
      @Starfire861 Před 3 lety +340

      Random Guy Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton were both members of George Washington’s cabinet. Jefferson was the first Secretary of State and Hamilton was the first Secretary of Treasury, and used his time in office to develop the financial system America still uses today. They disagreed on just about *every* issue of the time (especially American finances) and pretty much hated each other’s guts. Despite this, Hamilton endorsed Jefferson’s campaign for presidency over Aaron Burr, who would later kill Hamilton in a duel. During his presidency, Jefferson tried and failed to reform the American financial system Hamilton created.
      The bit about Jefferson immediately punching Hamilton was more or less a joke about their intense rivalry.

      Two jobs. He also advised Americans to avoid "entangling alliances" Though this was motivated by desire to prevent us from being manipulated and controlled by stronger European powers. By the time we formed such alliances, we were the ones doing the controlling. They might not be as concerned by alliances as the large standing army, given standing armies classic association with military takeovers. Or perhaps they (Washington in particular) would see the fervency of military officers support for civilian control and their avoidance of involvement in politics while in uniform and feel confident that they hd done well on this issue.

      I can total see an episode where the Republican and Democrat presidential candidates are trying to out do each other in serving George Washington (who will get progressively more and more annoyed with each attempt) so they can get his endorsement for the upcoming election. And it can culminate in him publicly denouncing both candidates and the whole party system and then him endorsing some independent party candidate (and said independent ends up winning).
      There can also be some serious episodes, like Alexander Hamilton or John Adams addressing a crowd of BLM about to face off against some random anti-BLM group. And he then successfully diffuses the situation.
      And maybe have an episode where Thomas Jefferson declares war on the federal reserve, only to have Hamilton come up and try to stop him. They end up fighting and both get arrested and Washington has to bail them out.
      Or maybe another episode when they learn about the Civil War (their worst fears made manifest) and how there are still scars that haven’t healed right to this day.

I wasn't there (i live thousands of miles away) but from what i understand, she was conscious until a few minutes before she died. It sounds like she just fell asleep and her body shut down.

Regardless of the racism of his time, he was engaged in homosexual behavior with John Laurens, so I think he would be more accepting than most. He didn’t own slaves and hated slavery in private. His mother owned slaves, and after her death, even though his mother had written in her will that Alexander be given one boy named Ajax, Alex was denied this because of his illegitimate birth. He loathed talking about slavery to ANYONE, even George Washington, who owned more than 100 slaves. As a young man starting out his political career, he published his first major political essay, “A full Vindication of the measures of the Congress,” which drew direct comparisons between enslaved people and colonists oppressed by the British. And in 1779, he championed a plan proposed by his friend John Laurens to arm and enlist enslaved people in the Continental Army-and reward them with their freedom in return. (Washington himself had opposed the idea until the British dangled just such a lure.) “The dictates of humanity and true policy equally interest me in favor of this unfortunate class of men,” Hamilton wrote in an appeal on behalf of Laurens to the Continental Congress. “I have not the least doubt, that the negroes will make very excellent soldiers, with proper management,” Hamilton continued, adding that “their natural faculties are probably as good as ours.” His lobbying, however, failed to win support, and Laurens' plan was sadly abandoned.

    These men were quite insightful. After the constitution was approved Benjamin Franklin was asked what kind of government had been adopted. According to the story he said "a republic if you can keep it". They recognized how important it was to limit the power and scope of the federal government. The importance of human rights coming from God, not government, as laid out in the Bill of Rights. We see our government taking away our rights. We see our government growing way beyond the enumerated powers of the constitution. They would recognize our country falling into tyranny and they would not be silent.

The musical was made because Hamilton's life was very dramatic and made for good theatre, not because he's the 'good guy'. Sure, the musical has to make him sympathetic since he's the main character, but it's a thing because of the Reynolds Pamphlet and the Burr-Hamilton duel makes for an entertaining musical. Also, Hamilton is treated like a god-like figure? I'm not American, so I have 0 authority to weigh in on this, but what?

      @@aa-mb6rs It could also be because Hamilton was the protagonist of the musical, and people tend to forget their literature lessons. Mainly the one that states "just because the main character is the protagonist, it does NOT automatically make them the 'hero' of the story." People completely forget that a) Things like villain and anti-hero protagonists exist, and b) Just because you like a work doesn't mean you have to agree with the main character's actions, even if they are unquestionably the "hero" and are meant to be seen as "right."
      From freaking Thanos in Infinity War, to another manga work I'm reading now (can't get into details because of spoilers), it's constantly idiots who sleep through their lessons going "hurr durr, they're the main character, so they must be the hero and therefore right!"🤦‍♀️

    Founders: We're friends with England again!? I'd love to return and see how things have changed! I'll begin preparations for the journey at once!
    Me: cool, wanna go this weekend?
    Founders: oh no, a month long trip requires more planning than that!
    Me: uh, it's like a 9 hour flight... we can be there by sunrise tomorrow, actually.
    Founder: F-f-f-flight?!

      If Hamilton saw Hamilton, he wouldn’t have died just yet, and since he saw the play, would he be scared to die and prepare to prevent it? Would the play change? Would he have actually seen the changed version, seeing himself not die like he did, and revert the change of the play happening? Thus a cycle forms? And a Schrödinger’s cat situation? This hurts my brain.

    I'd expect Franklin and Jefferson to most understand the modern age due to their status as inventors. A similar series with past inventors time traveling to today would be interesting. Da Vinci, Galileo, Copernicus, Newton, Jenner, Franklin, Jefferson, even Tesla, Edison and Marconi would be interesting.
