10. Nice but very fast understanding teacher

11. Everything he said, I already knew because I played Assassin's Creed 3.

12. This is what I’m learning right now.

13. The American Revolution was won with only 5% of Americans' support.They did
    not wait until the majority of colonists supported their secession from
    England. The Founding Fathers did not wait until they were democratically elected before they authored the US Constitution.

    The point I am trying to make is there are times you have to "fight fire with fire". To significant curtail and purge dictatorial traits and
    tendencies, dictatorial means will have to be employed if and when needed.
    America is not supposed to be a Democracy or democracy. It is supposed to be a dictatorship in which the dictates of the US
    Constitution and not the Will of the People via majority take precedence. Of course the unlawfully ratified 14th Amendment changed
    that in 1868.
     
    To re-establish basic and genuine Representative Democracy with a constitutional republic form of government, dictatorial
    means are often necessary. One cannot wait for consensus from the people, their elected representatives, or even rely on all the dictates
    of the US Constitution before one tries to establish genuine Representative Democracy with a constitutional republic form of
    government.

14. Why does this guy think he’s funny

19. He said that he speaks French like an idiot, I concur.

20. Minor mistake there: At minute 9:10 you are using a painting depicting the German Philosopher Immanuel Kant, sitting at a table with his friends in Königsberg, then Germany, whilst talking about French enlightenment thinkers. Forgiven. 😉

21. hi

22. hi

23. It is so annoying to me when people judge history and people of the past by the current ideas and knowledge. Even now in our culture we have thing happening that are appalling to humanity. We have no right to judge the people of the past too unkindly. And besides all of the principle founders, even those who inherited slaves and therefore were slave owners, were opposed to slavery, Thomas Jefferson purposed an antislavery plan that would have eliminated slavery within one generation. Our founding fathers were very wise in not pushing the slavery issue at the time. You have to learn to pick the most important battle at the moment. If you read their words you will see they wished slavery did not exist in America but they believed that in time it would be eradicated. Slavery was not an American problem. It was a world problem. It did not exist here because the American colonist were particularly evil. It came here with those coming from other places in the world. The American revolution was a revolution indeed and the ideas of liberty and quality were believed by the men who wrote those words.

24. Tea: Naw
    Drake meme format: Yeeeeeaaaah.

25. I always roll my eyes when 4th of July comes around. Why? Only one third of colonialists supported the revolution. Most Americans today would be sing God Save the King if this was 1776.

26. I have been forced to watch this by my history teacher, and its kinda just an annoying american man bashing the English for 11 minutes straight.. ;.;

27. I doubt trump knows how to bowl, at least not well

28. The US declaration of independence along with the French revolution were the first time since the fall of the Roman Republic that relevant nations followed democracy. You might argue that the Dutch and the Swiss did that too but they weren't super powers of their day.

29. Who else is watching this for their online history class?

30. Thanks

32. The jabs are subtle, but noted. Apple products are also produced in a fascist country so that sticker is misplaced at best.

36. New blues clues

37. Stamping on the ground

38. HOT TEA

39. Nope. Mistaken slavery was rebranded. London did that. Debt. Stockmarket. We weren't better off still aren't but, good try thinking that way. Update your thought bubble, John.

    Just a suggestion. Remember old you from the past? He is still not there….

    America is no doubt a hot mess. England ended the version of slavery the American South still had for propaganda to make us look worse. Wasn't hard to do but, they didn't end profiting off that economic structure. Simply hide the slavery a new way- ask India they remember. We weren't better off with a monarchy. Still aren't.
