~ Me just stating facts because I'm a smart Logan ~
1. In the old days it couldn't show colors
2. The editing used, wasn't able in the old times
3. You can't skip to years if this was real
4. Aliens? We haven't even got them in our year
5. They use voices, not chat boxes
6. They would stay still not moving blinking etc.
7. Animated characters,
Yeah that's all, :> Animation is great but because i wanted to point it out for some education i did, No hate video has high quality and i approve :>

[@audracall9476]

The British soldiers did not randomly begin firing at the colonists during the Boston Massacre. The colonists were harassing a soldier and he called for help. Someone yelled FIRE and no one know who, so the soldiers began firing. John Adams represented the soldiers because he understood that ALL need a fair trial no matter who you are. This was a terribly sad event, but it was not a massacre. A massacre is a needless killing of unarmed people. The colonists were armed with rocks, snowballs with rocks in them and sticks.

I kinda do not like this video, it does not explain %100 right, and I do not feel comfortable, 8t gives a lot of info but it does not explained it more detailed.
