Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
In which John Green teaches you about the roots of the American Revolution. The Revolution did not start on July 4, 1776. The Revolutionary War didn't start on July 4 either. (as you remember, I'm sure, the Revolution and the Revolutionary War are not the same thing) The shooting started on April 19, 1775, at Lexington and/or Concord, MA. Or the shooting started with the Boston Massacre on March 5, 1770. At least we can pin down the Declaration of Independence to July 4, 1776. Except that most of the signers didn't sign until August 2. The point is that the beginning of the Revolution is very complex and hard to pin down. John will lead you through the bramble of taxes, royal decrees, acts of parliament, colonial responses, and various congresses. We'll start with the end of the Seven Years War, and the bill that the British ran up fighting the war. This led to taxes on colonial trade, which led to colonists demanding representation, which led to revolution. It all seems very complicated, but Crash Course will get you through it in about 12 minutes. Turn on the captions. You'll like them!

From U. K. There is an aspect to all this that it often forgotten. Patriots were a branch of the English Whig Party who were opposed in Parliament by the Tory Party. This conflict between Patriot and Tory spread to the colonies. My home town of Rotherham Yorkshire was Patriot Whig. On a hill overlooking the town still stands a monument to the Boston Tea Party called Boston Castle. It was paid for by local politician and soldier the Earl of Effingham. At the end of the conflict a victory arch was built a few miles north at Parlington Hall. The names of British politicians and soldiers who fought on the American side are remembered today in the names of counties in Georgia and elsewhere. American Tories who fought on the British side get a mention now and again, but Patriot Brits nothing.

I apologise for pointing it out but there is a misinformation in this video at 2. 45 in the red box which shows, -in 1798, George Washington took the presidential oath-. But, the correct information is, he took the oath in 1789.

Never been more relevant than during coronavirus powergrab. Any legislators pass any lockdown laws, or is just that just the arbitrary decision of an increasingly autocratic executive?
