As an American it all made sense because we know our own history.
Yup. I'd have been very confused if I didn't know our history.
I love how every American followed it perfectly
Hell I think it could have been easier to understand if it was more detailed
With "as an American", do you mean like a person from Chile? Brazil? Mexico? Canada? They are all in America. America is a continent, not a country. South America, Central America, and North America. The US is exactly that. "The united states OF America".
Sorry, I'm European.. Oh Wait! No! I'm Norwegian... My bad!
@@TerjeSkuggen you're offended for what reason?
@@mermaid1717 Offended? Not in any way. Just being factual.
To be fair, cramming an entire year's worth of high school U.S. history class into 15 minutes is pretty difficult and he at least mentioned all of the important stuff
these comments are fun to read
Thanks for checking out the video. This was meant to be a quick-study version of US history since this was a final project for my class. I really enjoyed Bill's style and I used him as an inspiration to make this video by putting my creative hobbies together. As for the future, I'll pursue to be more stylistic, since I do want to make more of these history videos, but instead putting more of my spirit.
As a United States Of American I can confirm this is our history
I love how everyone puts slavery in a red reoublican thing when it was technically democratic parties owning slaves. A true republican cares about the nation as a whole. LINCOLN WAS A REPEPUBLICAN BTW. This shit is so skewed, missing context, and historically inaccurate by like ten years?
The city in the rocks town in America ur talking about is called mesa verde 😂 I’ve been there twice it’s amazing
Fun fact: Abraham was actually raciest he just did,nt like slaves, he didn’t want black people to be EQUAL
As an American, this all made perfect sense. 😋
I'd love to see your reaction to the Oversimplified videos about the Civil War, World Wars I and II. I think those are the best, although the one about the Cold War is pretty good, too.
This history takes about a year of American high school to do no wonder it was confusing
The Property of Louisiana when Napoleon sold it to Thomas Jefferson was roughly, the size of 828,000 Miles. He sold it to Jefferson for 4 cents per acre, so 0.4 x 828,000 = $331,200, which nowadays would be somewhere around 15Million
Go see the cliff houses at Mesa Verde National Park in SW Colorado.
I watched this video on my own at double speed and it made sense the whole time
Just one thing though, I’ve lived in the south for 8 years and I never met a southerner that denies the civil war or believes that the south losing was a bad thing
Whereas I know someone born and raised in California who will argue that the Civil War was not about slavery. When I was at uni I did meet someone from Texas who swore that Texas did not ever lose the Civil War, that Texas is not actually a State in the Union, and that Texas born residents have their own citizenship cards.
@@nathanforrest2061 I sometimes encounter people who say the Civil War wasn't about slavery. Slavery and the protection of it is mentioned in the articles of secession in the states that seceded so I don't see how anyone can believe that. When I post links to it many don't even realize this until they read them.
@@Anon54387 Oh, yes, I read out Texas' the articles to him and he just kept insisting that they were just talking about State's rights.
@@Anon54387 It was about slavery for some of the slaveowners, no doubt, but very few in the south owned any slaves and the average Confederate soldier didn't give a crap about slavery one way or another. For them it was about self-governance, and the right to secede if they didn't agree with the federal government. It definitely wasn't about slavery for the north either, for the north it was about keeping the union together. If you asked any regular Union soldiers about why they were fighting they would not have mentioned slavery at all, until quite late in the war when it became policy to free slaves in the south to disrupt the wartime economy of the south (while doing nothing about slavery in the north or border states). The issue of slavery was the issue that split the states into two camps, which led to the secession of the southern states, which led to the war. But saying that means the war was over slavery is missing a lot of context and doesn't accurately portray the motivations of the two sides. It was a war about the right to secede, whether that was secession to keep slavery around or for any other reason. Slavery would have ended pretty soon regardless and everyone pretty much knew that.
To quote Lincoln: "I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so."
That lands still hurts 🇲🇽💔
We are taking it back one illegal at a time 🤣
That’s why central US cities have French, not English names. St Louis, Nouvelle Orleans (New Orleans), Detroit, Des Moines, Eau Claire, etc etc.
Well DUH! It was the Louisiana purchase. All the tributaries of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio rivers.
@@garycamara9955 What’s with the attitude? I’m saying because Millie thought we “copied” British place names so I was clarifying the settlers from wherever they came from named them. Relax
@@garycamara9955 They weren’t speaking to you, they’re speaking to James and Millie 🤦🏿♂️
@@garycamara9955 Don’t DUH people if you didn’t even know Spain conquered La Louisiane and named it Louisiana. We literally use the Spanish name for it to this day lmao
Little Rock was La Petite Roche. It’s a French settlement of course, founded at the first rock of any real size that the French explorers saw on the trek up the Arkansas River from the Mississippi River.
Little Rock is basically where the flat Delta farmland of east AR starts to become the foothills of the Ozark and Ouachita mtns in W/NW AR.
Edit: See, Gary Camara? That’s an example of one appropriate way to make a comment on someone’s post. Just showing you what it looks like, since you seem to be unaware of how to function appropriately when it comes to basic social skills.
You can't get the whole history in 17 min.Need a series of at least 30 hours a program
Idk about 30 hours but the series “America, the story of us” is great
Only 30hours ? 😂 lol it’s nothing . Maybe because your country exist since 200 years
Not all americans suck at geography for me but sum of them say idk history bcuz they cant name any country out of North america and some enemys
I know how you feel about being confused. I watched a video about all of the British monarchs, and I was completely lost for most of it.
All you need to really know about is the horny one that kept killing his wives and set off a bunch of religious wars, the ones that lost all the colonies so the empire collapsed.
For perspective, we bought 8 acres of land this past winter for $130,000. That's around $16,000 per acre, which is the going rate for rural land that is usable for development or agriculture. Raw land (heavily wooded or rocky) usually goes for about $5,000 per acre, while suburban land with various amenities in a great school district can reach upwards of $200,000 per acre.
Ours came with a lake, farmland, woodland, a spring, coal seam, clay, etc. Pretty good deal for homesteading land.
yeah that is still based on location so it depends where in the USA
Being an American who likes history, none of this was new to me -- just amusing the glib, offhand way the history was presented. This was like a thorough high school history course in a couple of minutes!
Having taken many history classes, this is very accurate...but very fast. Check out the decision about making Kansas a slave state or not (very important in the spark of the civil war). If you know the history, you get all this.
The video forgot to mention the earliest American people - The Solutreans
the US Civil War was not primarily about slavery
Yes, it was. Lay off the Lost Cause Revisionism. It was involved in most of the major issues of the sectional crisis in the decade and a half before the war and had been lurking as a major issue for decades beforehand. Actually read the secession documents. They were very clear about why they were fighting. The idea that it wasn't about slavery was made up after the war because they wanted to frame themselves as being a forward-looking place(called The New South) while sweeping the slavery issue under the rug. Also, it gave them a reason for a war that killed 620k people that was more noble than the reality: that all those people died because the South was paranoid and, thought the North was going to ban slavery, and seceded.
FYI, you can read each southern states declaration of secession....slavery is the first item mentioned in most of those declarations...but random comment on youtube is more credible than the actual declarations.........
direct quote from Texas: "the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits-- a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which her people intended should exist in all future time"
2nd sentence from Georgia: "For the last ten years we have had numerous and serious causes of complaint against our non-slave-holding States with reference to the subject of African slavery."
@@waffles824 From Mississippi: "Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin."
Good lord, I have ADD and now I think I'm gonna have a seizure! I live here and had trouble following that! Lol
As an American and a retired teacher who taught American History, I think one of the biggest reasons the US has so much history packed into just a few hundred years is its sheer size. Being almost as big as all of Europe and 40 times the size of the UK means that a lot of history was being made simultaneously in numerous parts of America. Also, with immigrants coming to America from colonial times to the present, things are in a constant state of flux. In the US, history and literature are taught simultaneously. For example, you can't teach Shakespeare in a British Literature class without teaching about what was going on in Elizabethan times, otherwise, there is no context. Conversely you can't teach about Elizabethan times in a history class without teaching about what was going on in science, the arts, and literature-- Shakespeare, Spencer, etc. As a Literature teacher, I had to teach mini lessons on American History in American Literature classes, British History in British Literature classes, and World History in World Literature classes. At the same time, the history teachers were touching on literature through the ages in their History classes. That meant teachers had to consult each other. For example, a history teacher colleague had her kids read "The Miller's Tale" from Canterbury Tales when she was teaching the late Middle Ages, so I avoided that tale when teaching Chaucer to my British Literature kids and taught other tales from Canterbury Tales instead. When I planned to teach The Grapes of Wrath in an American Literature class, I consulted the same colleague as to when she was covering the Great Depression in American History class so that we'd be somewhat in sinc.
I have a degree in history, and ADHD and this video drove me insane. I hope this isn't how people are learning history.
I took AP US History studying 3hours per day and for the entire year and this guy compressed that into 13 minutes.
Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin
He said that.
I could follow it, but I'm American with an interest in history.
Portugal got more than a tiny chunk in the Treaty of Tordesillas. Sure they got a tiny bit of South America which would eventually expand and become Brazil, but because of the treaty, Portugal won influence over Africa and especially the Indian Ocean, which was what they wanted.
Hey you're that famous Korean idol right?
I followed the video but he's glossing over issues and events that could all have their own videos. I wouldn't think many, not familiar with US History, would follow this well.
Plus some things are mixed with other stuff and conflated. Its not entirely true. But it was more a timeline than a history lesson.
The civil war was also about the north using the wealth that came from slave labor to fund their cities while leaving the south behind and patting themselves on the back for being “free states” Plenty of slaves in New Jersey worked illegally. That isn’t discussed much.
The Louisiana Purchase was approximately 18 dollars per square mile. You're probably thinking per acre, which it was four cents per acre. Total of 15 million dollars in then money, but in today's money it'd be over 300 million dollars. Definitely a bargain deal
And the biggest thing is they balanced the budget by design! When they made the purchase.
Alaska was a huge bargain. The us made that money back many times over with the resources there.
A penny for each acre actually still a steal
Louisiana Purchase was extremely inexpensive, as was the purchase of Alaska from the Russians. The debate on the abolition of slavery began during the Colonial period, well before George Washington was born. It was pivotal in the ratification of The Constitution, in that the Southern States would not have joined The Union without a provision allowing slavery.
The history of us stealing your names! Jk lol
Thanks!
we get spoonfed american history until you're 18, every bit and scrap
History at warp speed. One thing though, Columbus never put as much as one toe on the continent of North America. What he landed on was the Caribbean Islands. The first European to find America was Leif Ericson, a Norseman, long before Columbus was born.
Louisiana the state I live in is the only state that kept a lot of the French ways. In America a few city's and towns form things we call Counties but in Louisiana we call ours Parishes like the French
What a horrible video you watched. This is highly inaccurate and misrepresented.
Welcome to CZcams
What part?
@@bealightinthedarkness9986 most of it
I'm liking this one only because I like you two. The video itself was horrible.
You have to watch The Goonies
10 or more states were once a part of Mexico.. including California, FL, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada.. those are only I can remember but there's more
Are you sure about Florida?
Still hurts 🇲🇽💔😢
This was a horrid video. I am lost for words.
I bet britsh people hate when we say brish
There are a couple of different sets of preserved ruins of the type you wish to see.
They are all in Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado - most are relatively close to the borders between these three states.
Canyon de Chelly (National Monument) is in north-eastern Arizona (Technically within the Navajo Nation);
The Gila Cliff Dwellings (National Monument) is near Silver City, New Mexico;
Mesa Verde (National Monument) is in southwestern Colorado
There are also -
Aztec Ruins (Nat Mon), near Aztec, New Mexico,
Bandelier (Nat Mon), near Los Alamos, New Mexico.
There are many more in the area, I've only listed the "flagship" sites.
But also, if you are in that part of the US, there are the Taos, and Acoma Pueblos -
which have been occupied dwellings for around 1000 years (and are still in use)
Santa Fe, New Mexico also has 2 of the oldest building in continuous use from the Colonial era.
The "Palace of the Governors" dates to 1610, and the San Miguel Mission predates 1628.
Lmfao. As a history nerd I was following right along and laughing my butt off the whole time.
Ikr same. Was pretty good at History in school too. 😅
That looked like Mesa Verde in Colorado. Its a National Park and a UNESCO World Heritage site. You can literally take a tour and go them there. Most are restricted and you can't go in but Mesa Verde you can if you take the tour. There are a lot of other ones in that general area but if you can only pick one that's the one you want.
That place is on my bucket list. I learned about it as a kid and have been intrigued since.
The oversimplified is a great series and lots of good humor dotted throughout, but also trying to be as historically accurate as possible with the facts.
I had to pause video at 9:59 and to tell you that i am born raised American and this history was so true... There is a lot of "Inner" History of USA that most of people overlooked in small parts of history...
now, I am unpausing this video.. by the way, I really enjoyed watching ur videos lately...
Mississippian
If you live in the US and know your history this makes perfect sense.
Yes, absolutely you guys should cover the Over Simplified series together! I'm surprised you both haven't tackled those together yet, would be great content
Together with who?
@@MeanJohnDean whar 💀
That was a tough one to watch… so much is not said
Yes, the civil war
The video does lead you around very fast😂 but as someone born & raised in nyc, I can attest that essentially everything here was in my history classes.
I think I got a headache watching whoever made that video 😆😆
One of worst videos on history I've seen. I mean, really. :)
Oversimplified makes it simple
Being from southern Ohio, there are Adena mounds galore. The most famous being Serpent Mound. Serpent Mound is an internationally known National Historic Landmark built by the ancient American Indian cultures of Ohio. It is an effigy mound (a mound in the shape of an animal) representing a snake with a curled tail. Nearby are three burial mounds-two created by the Adena culture (800 B.C.-A.D. 100), and one by the Fort Ancient culture (A.D. 1000-1650). In 1991 site excavation used radiocarbon dating to determine that the mound was approximately 900 years old. This would suggest that the builders of the Serpent belonged to the Fort Ancient culture (A.D. 1000-1500). In 2014, another team of archaeologists presented new radiocarbon dates for the Serpent suggesting that it was built by the Adena culture at around 300 B.C. The mound is 1348 feet long (411 meters). In all, the snake stretches a quarter of a mile (402 meters) and ranges from 1.2 to 1.5 meters (3.9 to 4.9 feet) in height and 6.0 to 7.6 meters (19.7 to 24.9 feet) in width. It’s on the site of an ancient meteor impact dating to around 300 million years ago; the crater, measuring 8 to 14 km (5.0 miles to 8.7 miles) in diameter, is known as Serpent Mound crater. Serpent Mound is the largest snake effigy mound in the world. You really need to see pictures, that's if you don't visit on your trip to the states. Sorry for the unsolicited history lesson. czcams.com/video/x9c511-DXN0/video.html
It's a lot to unpack!!
I understood it all. 😂😂
Even as an American who knows about all this stuff it flashes by so quick that I'm all "Hey, yeah, I think I kno-" and then I'm already 5 subjects behind.
Louisiana purchase: about 18 cents / square mile.
Not that anyone actually new exactly how big it was at the time... just BIG.
Ok so this is crap!
Coldplay fly on react please.
That was a pretty crappy video. It didn't make any sense unless you were already at least somewhat familiar with US history, and even then it treated some very complicated issues as if they were simple problems, easily solved. Not a fan of the channel that produced that video.
Agree. History of the Entire World, I Guess -- that one I enjoyed. This one's a joke, totally, and I'm American with some knowledge of our history. Agree with other folks that OverSimplified does much better. They have a two-part series, about 15 min each, on the American Revolution. Why not react to that? Thanks.
They have done the revolutionary war I think
Agreed. Its based off the very short attention span of these younger generations. 5-10 seconds spurts followed by try hard quick humor. History will be written by these people...
another hater -_-
@@MrVoodooMerc It's not meant to be serious like it's counterpart "History of the entire world I guess" not to mention youtube has plenty of high quality history videos as well such as those made by the channels "Lemmino" or "The Great War" to view if people so wish.
Plus videos exactly like this are why I got interested in history in the first place, and I'm sure the same is true of many others. So while this video isn't particularly good it still has it's positives.
This isn't a history of the United States, this is a history of North and Central America. The United States is a country, North America is a continent, and includes part of Central American and Canada.
True, but I think they needed to include a lot about the whole of Americas and parts of Europe to give context to the history of the U.S. since it's all so connected.
I'm from Pennsylvania and honestly I thought this video ( the history of the United States I guess) would be alot like the history of the entire world I guess, but this video is actually more difficult to follow for me for some reason. The other video was so much easier to follow and was more entertaining. I love watching ur videos beesleys and I'm not bored with ur videos at all. They cheer me up alot and make me smile and laugh from time to time. I wanted to make sure to add that last bit because I didn't want people to think I was saying this bout y'all and ur videos. I just think that the creator of the video y'all are doing a reaction to did something different in this one compared to the other one and it made it more difficult to follow in my opinion. I don't know what it could be exactly that's causing that but if anyone else feels the same bout this please let me know because I'm definitely curious. By the way I'm sorry for the crazy long comment
A good experiment would be to watch this video then spend 3 to 6 months studying the topic and then re-watch the video taking a survey after each. The difference in the opinions would be massive.
I get bits and pieces, but not in order.
Have to teach this in school lol
There’s also speculations that there were people in America before the Clovis people came
Hes telling us Americans we're lost about our own history
The houses under the rocks is Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado. SW corner by Four Corners.
Yes, you should check out all of oversimplified's history videos. Lots of interesting stuff to learn.
You guys should make a list of the sections you dont understand.Then look up clips on each 1 and do a reaction to each as a series like you do with Lost in the pond material.
I love the way Yankees always pretend that there was no racism in the North.
In my 67 years as a ‘Yankee,’ I don’t know anyone anywhere who thinks there’s no racism in the North. We just didn’t codify it with ‘Separate but equal’ Jim Crow laws, as the South did.
@@gregrathbone986 Lol, another lie. Y’all taxed the south for cotton and built up the northern cities using my ancestors FREE labor, right? You free states weren’t free for us either.
@@peppapickmeisha well said my sista 👏🏿 as a southerner who lived in New York City for college it amazes me how much they pretend their hands were clean
@@gregrathbone986 You didn’t have to. Americas most segregated school district in who again? Oh right. New York City. Stop pretending y’all love us 😂😂🤦🏿♀️
@@gregrathbone986 yeah the democrats did everything they could to control blacks back in the day now they still try to control them but use different tactics. Have you noticed they're pushing segregation again just different tactics
Yea this video isn't 100% true. Also black people were doing better after slavery then they are doing today every since they started welfare.... cause women got paid more if the father wasn't in the home. I recommend reacting to Thomas Sowell for the black history part of America he is more knowledgeable about that part... and has done a lot of research on it.
what's not true?
@@kilroy2517 Saying slavery was still around in the south is false. And some owned businesses till the kkk started burning them down aka the Democrats.
@@tictacmoe6227 Maybe you need to change the speed setting and watch it again. The comment was that "The south kind of still did slavery" and underneath it said "Sharecropping". Go get educated on sharecropping. BTW, your bigotry is showing.
@@kilroy2517 No it wasn't slavery slaves dont get paid and I didn't say racism didn't still exist. My bigotry? I'm mixed I love all race and I dont blame everyone else for my mistakes. There is nothing stopping people from being what they want except for Democrats policy. Until people stop listening to these liars and start getting they're lifes together nothing will ever change. Btw little back story about me and I grew up in a single parent home in the hood. There was a year we didn't have electricity in our house and I that didn't let that stop me. I got my act together started working 3 jobs at the age of 17 and got my GED. Now I own a house I help my mom get a house and I run my own company. I didn't have no help at all so before try to paint me as something know who you're talking about.
@@kilroy2517 also I know some people dont have the drive that I do...I think there should be programs to help people. But by they're communities the people that care about them not the government that will steal most of the funds. Most of these government programs dont care about the people they're supposed to help that's why people are more likely to end up back in jail in low income communities. Also it shouldn't last forever it should be there to help you get on your feet so you can make your life better. I dont get why someone would want to live off the government...instead of improving your life so you can be a middle class person.
Those cliffs you speak of visiting are here in Colorado - southwest by Durango called Mesa Verde. went camping there last year - hit me up if you wanna see some pics.
The Oversimplified videos rock, you definitely should check out the Civil War one!
This video was terrible compared to the Bill Wertz History of the World.
We've packed a lot of history in a somewhat short time frame(at least compared to many countries in Europe.) A lot we're not proud of but we've gotten through it and we also have a lot to be proud of.
Pueblo cliff dwellings? Where are the cities under the rocks? Look at Millie's shirt! Colorado, that's where they are. Well, some of them. There are also pueblo remains in Arizona, New Mexico, & Utah. But, I think the most are in Colorado. There's also the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, as well as a whole bunch of other interesting stuff in the landscape.
I love American history but this gave me a headache.
If you really want to learn about the Civil War, check out Ken Burns’s nine part documentary. It’s very long, but extremely informative and addicting; Shelby Foote’s voice is mesmerizing and caused me to want to learn more. Obviously not material for your videos, but if you want an in depth documentary, there is none better.
That's a great series and extremely informative. My dad would always watch it and I think the best parts of it were when they'd read letters from actual soldiers to really set the mood.
@@Do0msday I was impressed by how eloquently those letters were written!
The United States is a new country for sure, but it also has the second oldest political system in the world, right behind Great Britain.
If we stopped being a constitutional republic, a lot of the historical shifts within the republic would be forgotten and all we'd get is the key points
The Pueblo Native Americans (i.e. The cities in the rocks) was a green fertile valley area in the Southwestern US until the climate changed further and made it a desert region. They have one of the oldest culture in America and some of them are still around.
there are facts and falsehoods in this.
yall arent the brightest huh
The United States also occupied many smaller Central and South American countries such as Nicaragua, Panama (and the Panama Canal), Haiti, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Cuba (as a protectorate and then invaded again), and Honduras. This led to the “Banana Wars” which made these countries unstable. The United States pretty much had full control of these countries and had constitutions in place to make sure those countries were only invested into the American side. The country of Liberia in Africa was also founded by the United States for escaped slaves who then sadly enslaved the natives. They became independent a few years later. All of these countries were HEAVILY dependent on the United States for military and economic protection. So while the United States was never an “empire” these countries mentioned above as well as the American territories were pretty much the extent of the “American Empire” in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Ok guys, basically, imagine 'Murica is the Roman Empire, but condense it all down to only a couple hundred years and add some more crazy sauce, that's the history of the USA. Oh, but with less equality.
I love these history videos!!
I have been loving your videos, if you ever make it back over and want to see all of America I suggest DC (my home), Florida (party state), Texas (Americana), and Colorado (middle beauty)
Buildings under the cliff, is called Cliff Palace at Mesa Verde national park. It's more than a thousand years old, so much for only 245 years of history.
🙌💯 I hope James and Millie (@The Beesleys) go to Mesa Verde!! It’s extremely interesting to learn how the Anasazi lived, how they survived and thrived in the desert (which still gets plenty cold in the winter,) etc. 💐
Mesa Verde is not the only "Cliff Dwelling" example. Mesa Verde National Park is the largest and is located in the far southwest corner of Colorado (near the Four Corners). There are many in Canyon DeChelly National Monument. Also near the Four Corners but in Arizona (a long canyon with Native American farming the bottom of the canyon and several ancient communities in the Cliff walls all around them). There is a series of 5 caves in a remote cliff called "Gila River Cliff Dwellings" (Gila is pronounced "He-La"). This in north-central New Mexico North of Silver City.
There is an excellent example of Cliff Dwellings in Arizona between Phoenix and Flagstaff, called "Montezuma's Castle". This place is very very easy to get to but just like DeChelly you can only observe. At Mesa Verde and Gila River you can walk around, in and on the property.
"I have no idea what I'm watching..." IMO, that video is ONLY for people who already know the history of our country and contains some modern bias. Someone could easily get the wrong idea about our Founding via this collage.
One thing of note for Britons: Early Americans were pissed at King George III, not so much the British people....
Slavery was tolerated for as long as it was in order to keep the Union together; literally hundreds of thousands of Americans died to end it once and for all...
That video isn't made by the same guy as History of the World (i guess). It just seems like a semi-poorly made ripoff.
edit: wow this video is also a little opinionated. And SUCH a ripoff :(
Wow, that was really dumb
As a fourth generation born American and a history student I followed the video easily and even fancy the quick bits and sarcasm all played out along the video you could probably watch this hundreds of times and still not understand what I know But I love your reaction, awesome. Thank you
Well I won't be watching any more of those "History Of" videos. To fast, there's better videos out there for this content. 😁🙏❤
The "little city under the rocks" is Mesa Verde National Park, in southwestern Colorado.
ahhh this like all high school history in like 1 minute! hahaha
