Melting down a statue of a tyrant to make bullets is the most American thing I've ever heard.
I dunno... helping kickstart the 7 years war and directly causing the taxes the british levied, then starting a civil war to escape taxes... and then taxing themselves more than the british ever did, Sounds more like it,
The tyrant bullets is higher on the list of american things though
Also, George III wasn’t so much a tyrant, as much as he was “barking mad”, and wasn’t fir to rule later on in life.
@@chibipotate skill issue
@@joseffthomas10 Yes, he was
The thing is the king was very sympathetic to the colonists it was people is parliament like lord north who were tyrants
It's true about the Vikings. They've found Norse settlements and graves in Newfoundland.
Skraelings kicked them out.
yeah with like 1000s of arrowheads littering the entire settlements...
They didn’t really have any impact. That’s why we have the Colombian exchange, not the Norse exchange
@@Wendys___ but still Columbus wasn't the first European in America like he claimed
it's both 100% true and 100% nonsense, since when they got here, there was already a whole crapload of people. Kind of hard to "discover" a land that's inhabited by a few million people.
I heard that the "combat training" most Americans had in the early part of the Revolution came from their skills as hunters. When the English came through in the months before the war and demanded the colonists give up their guns, it wasn't well received as a lot of people in the undeveloped wilderness relied on hunting to survive, and further swayed public opinion against the British.
For some reason that sounds oddly familiar....
THEY GON TAKE UR GUNS
Train hard train smart.
Also, the 7 Years War wasn't that long before this, and a lot of the rebels were veterans of that war. They might not have been up to the standards of British Regulars, but the militias a fair number of men who were trained and experienced soldiers.
@@13jhow Very true. But it was also made up of normal dads, farmers, couriers, pastors and blacksmiths, etc... Many veterans have valuable training and experience, but it is useless if that knowledge is not shared with the everyday Citizen. Or if we try and put veterans in a special box and say they are somehow entitled to different rights that civilians aren't (insert Dakota Myer, Tim Kennedy, etc) Make no mistakes- Citizens fought this war. Cannons and warships used by the colonies were majority-owned by citizens. Citizens are the Militia. And lucky for the Minutemen- those veterans were willing to help train and muster the everyday man. (Not discounting veterans- I too did my time. But I am just a dirty civilian now and advocate for civilians learning and training as much as they can.)
"Why Oyster shells" because they had a whole whole LOT of them and they can be very sharp because of barnacles and the edges
add on that Boston's moto is 'fuck your stupid face' and that pretty much explains the whole reason.
@@musicalDrebin lmao
"Why Oyster shells"
... because they ran out of rocks!
I feel like someone told me once it was also an insult, something along the lines of questioning their prowess in bed. I can't find anything confirming that though. Has anyone else been told this?
Natures ninja throwing star!
What's funny though is that the "Americans" were actually all still British citizens so Paul Revere didn't yell out "The British are coming" but instead he told people the "Regulars" were coming. Also, chances are, he didn't go galloping through the night shouting it because secrecy would have been needed to try to get the drop on the redcoats.
Whoa I never knew this. Very cool
Paul Revere was stopped by a patrol but there were others who also raised the alarm.
Also it mostly wasn’t Paul Revere. He was just chosen since his name worked best in the poem.
@@4rkain3That, and he was a skilled propagandist.
Paul Revere and William Dawes rode out from Boston, and Dr. Samuel Prescott joined them at Lexington. The trio were stopped by a patrol at a roadblock. Revere was arrested, but Dawes and Prescott escaped. Dawes fell off his horse shortly after and could not continue, but Prescott made it all the way to Concord.
After the American Revolution, react to the American Civil War video. That video is by far my favourite Oversimplifed video
You obviously haven't seen the Napoleonic Wars or Prohibition yet (Prohibition is really funniest to Americans who realize that doctors prescribing alcohol to get around the law and basically becoming bartenders themselves is why those ridiculous drug ads exist today. Nobody willingly gives up power once it's been given.
@@MrTommygunz420 yeah prohibition and emu wars are my favorites
@@MrTommygunz420 I’ve seen both, but the American Civil War is still my favourite. The Napoleonic Wars is in close second.
@@skullrevenant9573 I forgot about emu wars lmfao 🤣
The Civil War is my fave aswell
"And that America dumped of tea in the water which is blasphemy!.... I'm still kinda bitter about that. Tea is fantastic! Don't throw it in the sea guys! There could've been other ways to start a war apart from ruining some good tea!" I would disagree with you Luke. What better way to start a war with the British? You guys are still upset with it over 260 years later..... Lol
That was exactly my thought when he said it.
I’ve heard that the tea tasted like trash, as my history teacher put it, it was “cash fluid” because of the insane amount of taxes and the dirty taste for the dirty money
As a fellow British kid, I highly agree.
As a true American, I like my coffee black, and my tea in the harbor ☕️
The best way to start a war is to strike at the heart of the people. And you Brits are obsessed with tea. Hell, you're still salty about the Boston Tea Party over 260 years later! Your ancestors took the bait.
An interesting thing about the Boston Massacre: The soldiers were put on trial, and they were defended by Founding Father John Adams... who won. Other patriots were annoyed at him for defending them, but he insisted that we show the world that there would be proper justice, even in Boston. (Places to see, not even a huge trip from Maine: The old state house in Boston, and the Adams compound in Quincy.)
To me thats one of the things he did wrong. They were guilty he shouldnt have defended our enemies lime that
@@TheAnnoyingBossif you understand the circumstances, it was merely an accident.
I cannot believe it, he reacted to another Oversimplified video! He's slowly becoming one of us!!
One of us! One of us!
I think he's going to love when he gets to the Napoleonic Wars (since it's eurocentric he'll probably appreciate it more. And on behalf of the states, sorry for buying the Louisiana Purchase and funding him.)
imagine if ottomans allowed for trade between india and europe the world would have been soooo different
I mean one man in a way changed the entire world with it
remember the Falkland's war ep
yes yes YES YES
I can’t wait for you to meet John Paul Jones. He was handsome, Scottish, and absolutely insane.
* John Paul Jones
The Led Zeppelin bassist went by the same name...
The Leif Erikson thing is true, there is evidence that they made a small settlement in today’s area of L'Anse aux Meadows, they even traded with the local Native tribe.
They even found Viking homes here
Its also been proven that they brought Native Americans back to Iceland. DNA research confirms it.
Yeah the Vineland settlement were much more impact full than they are generally given credit for. They traded, built homes and had multiple battles with native tribes. Viking coins have been found further down the us and Canada coast. Many historians interested in the topic believe theres more to it than a few small huts in newfoundland
Hinga Dinga Durgen!
He landed in the wrong spot for civilization to prosper so jt was just a craphole man
The US had 40,000 soldiers, 53 frigates & sloops, 2,131 marines, and the state navies had a total of 106 ships. The French, Spanish and some Native American Tribes helped the Americans. French Allied Forces included: 10,800 soldiers, and 2 naval fleets with escort ships. The Spanish had 12,000 soldiers, and 1 fleet with escorts. There is no figure on American-supporting Native American troops. The British had 48,000 soldiers, and an unknown number of task force fleets & blockading squadrons. British Loyalists, the Germans, and some Native American Tribes helped the British (25,000 Loyalists, 29,875 Germans, & 13,000 Native Americans to be exact).
The numbers varied wildly over the course of the war, especially early on (for the Americans) and later on the British forces were sharply reduced because of the world war that the US had kicked off demanded troops in more important places.
@@13jhow These numbers were from the American Revolutionary War Wikipedia article
@@michaelschemlab And they may well be accurate in the overall, purely statistical sense, but they don't reflect the changing circumstances of the war. It's more useful to understand the balance of forces for specific campaigns than as a broad overall figure without context.
Not saying you're wrong, just trying to inject a reminder that these very impressive numbers rarely, if ever, represented actual strength in the field.
I learned about Lief Ericsson some time ago and it made a spongebob episode make much more sense.
When he said minuteman I had flashbacks of Preston
Hey another settlement needs our help, I'll mark it on your map

100% part2 is a must! love the video.
Luke: reacts to the American revolution
Me who's played assassins creed 3: *the expert*
Me who’s taking Ap Us History
Im a very patriotic American (Also love our brothers in the UK) First off to the old "rag tag group beating the greatest professional army of the day" type talk. A lot of them legitemitley were very untrained (militarily speaking) but were very knowledgable fronteirsmen who knew the land inside and out as well as extreme profeciency with rifled weapons that were more suited for hunting big game than the british smoothbore muskets.
Also the most important point, although SOME of the militias were just that many of them and especially in the convential Contential Army were former professional soldiers themselves who had fought for the British in the French and Indian War here in NA( Washington was British officer at this time) , or the 7 Years war for everyone else.
These guys were very very good, just as good as any British line infantry. They knew their tactics, how they fought, their military doctirine, basically everything the British army knew how to do the Contental Army would be just as capable, but not able to execute as effecivley do to massive logistical problems, and to be fair both sides suffered logistically. With that said the industial capability of the British Empire could have EASILY crushed the revolution if it truly commited to it. This is not to diminish the exploints of Washington's army they performed far beyond expectation especially given the circumstances they would face.
PS: Excuse the typos, I am an Yank after all ;)
18:45 Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and other contributors to the American War of Independence actually tried to end slavery with the very birth of the country. One of the planned grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence was to be a paragraph against the horrors of shipping people from Africa to be enslaved in America against their will, but it was omitted by the insistence of southern states that relied much more on slave labor than the north. The War of Independence required the unity of all of the thirteen colonies/states, and so the efforts against slavery were moved to lower priority out of necessity, but the Founding Fathers actually did try to right this wrong at the start. That piece is usually left out of history lessons to paint them as more hypocritical than they in fact were, and many of them did go on to free their slaves in their wills. They really did try, and they purposefully set up the United States of America's Declaration of Independence and Constitution with the foundation of values and inalienable rights as a basis for the eventual abolition of slavery, because they knew that war would have to be fought.
12:18 at Lexington they used traditional tactical that didn't go to well so they anbushed them in in Concord, also by targeting officers
The issue with the taxation had to do with the fact that for the longest time, when Parliament needed tax money from the colonies, they basically let the colonial governments know and they levied the taxes. After the 7 Years War, Parliament bypassed the local governments and levied the taxes directly. After almost 100 years of local rule, it was seen as an insult to the colonists.
Not really related to the US or Oversimplified, but you should take a look at the 100 Years War series by Kings and Generals, specifically the earlier episodes where Britain was winning (I personally recommend the one on the Battle of Crecy)
Oh hell yes, react to part 2! Also, welcome to New England!
The history of your country is one you should be proud of. The Brits, and the British empire did many good things for the world.
Did they? I think their bads outweigh their goods.
@@flaviogarza2376 It's a matter of perspective. You might think they did a lot more bad things than good, but you can't deny that they did good things for the world nonetheless.
Lmao how? They literally stole and raped the resources of every nation they came into contact with, not to mention enslaving the people that had those resources. What were those good things??
I agree but we must also acknowledge the faults. Every kingdom and government throughout history have good and bad things
@@flaviogarza2376 take Egypt on the road that people use today the train tracks were built by the British empire
We can't even build a building that lasts 10 years
Good one to look up is the lost colony of ranoake, theres a reference to them in read dead 2
The birth of the us army rangers came from revolutionary War there was a group called Rodgers Rangers who used mostly guerrilla tactics. Later became the army rangers
The minutemen had some military experience in the Seven Years War, but they had also learned guerrilla warfare from the natives, who didn’t either stand and fight or retreat as was the norm.
columbus landed on the bahamas and thought it was something related to india, but amerigo vespucci proved that it was a new continent.
(this is what i was taught so if it's wrong blame the education system)
You are correct, that’s why the American continent is named America and not Colombia or Columbia.
@@thatnnoob6109 Actually we assume that's where America got it's name. The German cartographer who first labelled the new world America even said it was an assumption. Cogito did a get good video on the origins of the continents names. It could also be related to the Amerique(spelling?) mountains which was a gold mine in central America.
Definitely want to see part 2
"If you Throw Tea in the Sea,I hear My ancestors Crying."

The revolutionary war was actually one of the first widespread uses of snipers in combat between professional militaries. The Rebels learned it from the Native Americans and being primarily hunters, they used what they knew. British officers tended to look extra fancy, so one or two rebels would hide in the trees and target the officers, destabilizing the British command structure which was very important to the rigid combat formations of the British.
That little scene with the Tomahawk actually happened. It was before the French and Indian War. The land sparked an interest to the Ohio Company of Virginia to purchase the land from the British for westward expansion of settlers. To make the story shorter. Washington and a militia company were sent along with an allied group of Mingo Indians toward Fort Duquesne, a French installation near modern-day Pittsburgh. The French sent out a small party under Joseph de Jumonville as a diplomatic mission with strict orders to avoid a fight unless provoked. Well Washington chose to surround the French party and opened fire, killing several.
Most surrendered, at that point Washington's Native counterpart, known as The Half King, wielded a Tomahawk into De Jumonville's head, killing him. No state of war had been declared.
It was soon after this event that Washington surrendered in humiliation at Fort Necessity. Washington was lucky, his inability to control his Native Allies and the assassination of a prisoner constitutes a war crime I would think in the eyes of the French.
Big fan Luke love your videos. Your right man our countries have a dark past but I think it's important that like you we all recognize that and don't try to hide it. Looking forward to a Pt. 2 and you gotta check out more of oversimplified videos! Keeping making great vids man!
welcome to america 🇺🇸 😁😁 and yess react to part 2!!
FINALLY! I’ve been wanting this for so long!!!
Edit: Also definitely watch the Oversimplified videos about the Civil War. They are very impactful.
Literally everything on Oversimplified Chanel is worth watching. Emu wars in Austrailia to WW2. HE IS LEGEND.
This is a great video, so exited for part 2!
I loved oversimplified and I'm a history fanatic. Lol. I'm glad you're enjoying these videos.
Yes, please do Part 2! I'd love to see you continue reacting to Oversimplified's videos.
I'm in Philadelphia, and I cut my teeth on the history of the city, including trips to Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. To this day, I walk the older streets and take it in. And yet I had no idea that the British captured the city until I watched Oversimplified. It was that inconsequential that it's barely mentioned. Peggy Shippen's role in Benedict Arnold's treachery is more well known than 'that time the city was captured.'
Please do a part two of this. I really enjoyed watching this video.
Ooohh, I want some tea now🤌
Oh and great video idea, especially one coming from oversimplified👍
I love these types of history videos and I also love hearing others opinions and views on it so these vids are perfect
I’m not sure if it’s quite as tactical as you’d want but the podcast History That Doesn’t Suck is amazing. It goes in depth about American history and starts roughly with the French and Indian War. Seriously, it’s amazing
I love revisiting this History! Thank you sir!
I’ve never thought I’d see the day British person who loves America and is willing to openly speak about it
Great video. I love your historical reactions.
"I don't even drink tea anymore"
Literally him 5 seconds earlier:
"I bet the sea tasted great"
Paul revere's ride was heavily embellished by Longfellow, long after it happened. Paul Revere and William dawes set out not yelling "The British are coming", they went to specific homes quietly to spread the word. They did pick up another guy, and revere and dawes were captured, but the 3rd guy managed to spread the word all the way.
Your the OriginalHooman lol much love to ya bud keep up the great vids if your ever up towards Minnesota let me know I'll take ya out to a good restaurant and show ya around the lovely parts of our state
YES please do part 2!!! Also New England represent!
Ahaha i knew you’ll get to this love it when you react to oversimplified
I had already liked it before the ads were done😄
Please do part 2, I loved your reaction to my proud countries history.
Definitely want a part 2
All that matters is the history you write for yourself, and so far you've shown yourself to be a stellar dude!
Well, good news to see that you're reacting Oversimplified once again!
Yessss! Another Oversimplified reaction! Please record more Oversimplified reactions.
I completely agree. While I might have had a good time at the Boston Tea Party, I at least would have spared a crate for myself. Such good tea. I still poor one out for the lost tea every session.
Oyster shells? Chowder.
I don't know if has already been pointed out, but the 1763 Tea Act actually lowered the price on tea in the colonies. That has always made me laugh. The price of tea lowered, but we didn't get a say and could only buy from one importer, so we revolted.
And you should definitely react to Part 2.
Ooh nice his video on prohibition is very good aswell
Love these vids
Not a rumor there are viking settlements in Nova Scotia and other parts of northern North America that pre date Columbus
❤❤ it !! Can't wait for Part 2 !! ✌
imagine if ottomans allowed for trade between india and europe the world would have been soooo different
To be fair humans are like electricity if there a obstacle in a path they will take the longer path
I can't wait to see part 2
There is a whole lot more than this even. This is truly oversimplified this time. Still a great video
Dude your more American than most born Americans. Nothing but love for you brother
TV shows: "TURN' (Washington's Spies) and "Son's of Liberty" are two AMAZING shows if you want to go in depth into what happened.
HBOs John Adams
The "untrained" militia of Massachusetts had actually know many years of off and on wars; including the so called Indian wars in the century prior. There is a book called "The name of war" by historian Jill Lepore that looks at this and examines the long term impact it had on American culture. It's well worth the read.
The second part gives alot of good information I hope you hit your goal so we can see you watch itn
Gen dit commando recommended you although I had already watched a few. Good job and keep it up
do pt.2 for sure I like the perspective of brits on the revolution
id love to see part 2 :))
Remember that the 7 Years War wasn't that long before this, and a lot of the untrained rebels were veterans of that war. They might not have been up to the standards of British Regulars, but the militias a fair number of men who were trained and experienced soldiers. In the contact at Lexington, the militia was drawn up in a classic European battle line. At Concord, the militia battle line - firing in volleys - shattered the British blocking force and kicked off their retreat back to Boston. There was a lot of harassment and guerilla fighting during the retreat, of course.
Can only imagine the MinuteMen rebels were using tactics like utilizing their knowledge of the forest terrain and picking off British troops from afar all Patriot style
Cant wait till part 2! Btw you should react to oversimplified civil war
To answer the question at 11:40 from what I learned in school the minutemen would occasionally use actual tactics against the British but mostly used what was basically guerrilla warfare
My guy you're in Maine? That's where I am! There's a really good veterans community here, it's been pretty great since I got out of the military.
ah notice you been sliming down, nice nice, keep up the good work bud.
Would love to see Part 2!
8:30 He was just crying about the tea. One tea joke and he switched up quick lmaoo
you should really do a movie reaction of the patriot, you'll love it, plus you get to see the tactics used, during the revolution
Keep them coming over simplified is great
Got to see the part 2
I love you reacting to oversimplified
I'd love to see you react to part 2
Bring on Part 2!
Please do a part 2!! Oversimplified’s videos on the American Civil War are great too for some more reactions!
3:30 Part of the issue here, is that American settlers on the frontier did as much, if not more, for the defense of the colonies from France. Hence why the colonies are pissed off by the taxes, along with getting no say on their being levied on colonists.
Also, they're now saying that Paul Revere never shouted "the British are coming" for a couple of reasons. One, the ride to warn the towns of the British was a stealth mission since the British troops were in the area and they wouldn't want to let them know that they knew they were coming. Second, Paul Revere rode with two other people. Along the way, the three were stopped by a British patrol but one, not Revere, managed to get away and was the only one who completed the entire journey. Revere and the other rider that got stopped were forced to turn back.
You need to do the one on the Civil War next!
"If it's works then it's not that bad is it"

"Don't eat yellow snow, it's just common sense."
-Thomas Payne
Yea let's see part 2!
To be fair, the tax legislation, although pretty heavy handed, was pretty justifiable. Also, many colonials saw this coming so it not like the taxes blindsided them. The colonials had the right to protest some of them doing things a bit more extreme but protests, none the less. It's The Kings response to those protests with the Intoleable Acts that, imo justified the Revolution.
Just learned this fact about the Boston Massacre. The soldiers were put on trial, and they were defended by John Adams, and he won the trial for them.
Also ben franklin was in contact with the king frequently, and was often in Britain to meet him. when the king asked about the taxes, Ben franklin told him everything was fine and the people thought it was a good idea, so the brits were shocked when it didn't work.
The colonists didnt pay a single one of the taxes, and the brits never bothered to collect until the whole empire was on the brink of collapse that would have caused massive food shortages, trade disputes and maybe a world war.
So they decided to collect on 1 tax. Tea.
And the various actions like the sugar act and tea tax, made buying things cheaper for the colonists, as rather than being ripped off by third party merchents they paid a set price on a regulated market. they just didn't like the fact they didnt have a choice in the matter.
After all that mess it's no wonder the brits decided to keep a grip on inda rather than the americas, india was profitable, and the americas were a nightmare to deal with.
You could essentially think of the minute man as like the vehicle during the American revolution. They were primarily farmers and townspeople with weapons who just went about their day lives and could just pick up their arms and meet up when they were needed.
Many of the Colonists were fighting English style just less effectively and amateurishly, but their sharpshooters and more effective guerrilla style fighting became more predominant and tided them over until the army became a professional threat in a standing firing line battle at the end of the war.
How did they force back a well-trained army?
Initially, it was because the Brits were outnumbered and unprepared for a pitched battle. Then things got EXTRA ugly when one Militia Brig. General William Heath showed up and invented the "moving ring of fire" tactic. Runners were dispatched so the arriving militia would hold to the east and wait. When the redcoats were within range, the ring closed around them and subjected them to a near-constant hail of gunfire from all directions for the remaining duration of the retreat, until they were rescued outside of Boston by reinforcements.
Plz do part 2 I love your reactions
Broken oyster shells are sharp and can cut. That’s probably why they were placed in the snowballs. They would cause a cut and the ice would make it sting.
Oh and when they fought the regulars on the way back to Boston they developed a rolling fire. A string of men would form up and fire one at a time moving up after the last man fired. They would then fall back into the trees and reload and regroup down the road.
i fuxking love this!
