Tea, Taxes, and The American Revolution: Crash Course World History #28
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
In which John Green teaches you about the American Revolution and the American Revolutionary War, which it turns out were two different things. John goes over the issues and events that precipitated rebellion in Britain's American colonies, and he also explores the ideas that laid the groundwork for the new American democracy. Find out how the tax bill from the Seven Years War fomented an uprising, how the Enlightenment influenced the Founding Fathers, and who were the winners and losers in this conflict.(hint: many of the people living in the Colonies ended up losers) The Revolution purportedly brought freedom and equality to the Thirteen Colonies, but they weren't equally distributed. Also, you'll learn about America's love affair with commemorative ceramics and what happens when rich white guys take the reins from reins white guys, and put together a society of, by, and for rich white guys.

Canadians never declared independence because we recognized the benefits of being under the protection of the largest empire in the world :D, and then we basically peaced out when the empire was done, meaning that we got all the benefits without having millions die.

Glad to know Americans were stupid even back then, it's kinda comforting to know that we're not alone

History is written by the victors, so it is interesting to see a different point of view of the American Revolution.
-
Well, the Americans were not considered people at the time, and that statistic of 15% of people being represented is quite.... surprising. This is a good video, though not quite helpful for the purpose of studying, and instead for fun.

I'm only here after having about a dozen Americans brag about how great America is and how they were too good for us British. Not seeing why they're so proud, I wish America could be humble. Biiiig ego.
