Also, for the general enjoyment-- I'm watching through these with my 6 year old, who is very interested in learning about history, but has like no context for any of this, so we pause it and I translate and fill in concepts and we discuss. In discussing slavery here, and why/how people were doing that, I think it finally clicked for her what it was and the injustice of people profiting from slave labor. (Previously, I don't think she understood the difference between -I have to go to work, so we have money to pay rent- and actual forced labor, and the violation of an individuals rights therein. The moment when it clicked, she goes -wait, wait, I think I get it. Those guys want to grow crops, but cause they're LAZY and MEAN, they make those people do it and if they don't they like, whip on their back and then they keep all the money! That's not good. I wouldn't do that. -

Can you elaborate on the Republican idea of virtue? I'm curious because it's obviously meaning something other than how we use it today, and it seems like it probably would shed some light on the why/how of the initial decisions regarding out government's structure. I'm having trouble finding references online that discuss this idea the way it's presented here, specifically regarding property. Was wealth/property the only worthy thing one could contribute to a society? Was there an obligation to contribute to the general welfare or to act in just ways, but only for the -haves-? What were they? What was expected of the -have nots? -

This is not the first time that I hear people claiming that the Cajuns are exported Acadians. But the Cajuns were the French living in the French colony of Louisiana (it probably doesn't help that those maps show the Spanish controlling the region which only happened after the war. The Acadians were sent largely to the Carolinas and Georgia and the exportation took place before the war when Nova Scotia was ceded to the British in 1713. When the rest of Canada became British a lot of them actually returned. It's weird how little most Americans know about the continent before the revolution.

Cool, now because of the portrait of George Whitefield 9: 24 I know that I have strabismus. A mild version runs in my family and usually only shows up when my sister and I are tired. My son has a very mild version, so mild that I didn't realize he had it until just recently

So when the British were fighting Native Americans and real Indians, did they know they were different? Like we-re they under the assumption they were attacking India on 2 fronts?
