Can we appreciate how he accurately wrote all of the president hand signatures
Thank you :D
You think they all agreed to let John Hancock right his signature the biggest on the Declaration of Independence?
@@Dartowl1 He was just first, and didn’t know how much bigger his would be. Also he was the President of the Senate, so he went first.
@@theharoldsshow also he has a funny last name which makes his signature being larger funny.
@@Dartowl1 Yeah, in Boston his grave is the biggest one their. Also it’s a funny shape.

Legend
The post-presidency Biden update on this video will be interesting to watch. Between Covid-19, Afghanistan, Inflation, and now Ukraine, He's had quite the eventful first year in office.
Now potentially WW3, I feel like the gods put all the events of the next decade were accidentally put in a couple years.
Biden isn't really doing much to help and kinda helping both sides.
The question will always be what of these things will keep having an impact in the far future.
Quite pitiful
You sound like the only info you’ve absorbed is headlines...lots of other things have been going on just like with trump....it’s not just headlines
Fun fact about John Tyler is that he has living grandchildren. One of them died last year in September.
@Mr. Graves Yea, but he still has another grandson alive I believe.
Indeed 😔
Im black and my last name is Tyler i always had questions about it
ua-cam.com/video/dGiL2PgC17A/v-deo.html
President Tyler is also the ONLY U.S. president who didn't receive the honor of all U.S. flags being lowered to half-mast upon his death. This was because, when he passed away in 1862, the U.S. Civil War was raging, and Tyler had just won a seat in the Confederate States House of Representatives. President Lincoln therefore understandably refused to order all American flags lowered in his remembrance.
Its going to be interesting how people view Trump in a few decades.
Like I always say
"Absolutely"
He'll either be seen as a Reagan, a Hoover or a Harrison
If we consider all the facts, I think Trump is gonna be viewed as one of the worst Presidents in all full honesty, I mean he did try to do good, like the Middle East Peace Deal, he also sended agaents out of his own pocket to rescue people from the 9/11 attacks, he has done some good stuff indeed, but his evils overtook his goods, he made a musulim travel ban, he pushed us away from science, he also reduced efforts to take on cliamte change, he made a racism fuled wall which made it difficult for familes looking for a better life to get to the U.S., Trump also weakened our forgain relationships with his "America First" agenda, he used tax payer money to play golf, he also hasn't paid his taxes, he fuled the looting, vandalizing and breaching of the Capitol Building, he also wanted to brainwash children with nationalism instead of patriotism, one moment he could be praising his loyal republicans, the second he woul dbe trashing them for accepting the reality of democracy, with all that said history won't be kind to him and he deserves it.
@@mikaelleonbriones6356 True, Trump was bad, but still, let's wait how the next generation will see Donald J. Trump.
@@mikaelleonbriones6356 Time will tell, but I think history will paint a more positive view of Donald Trump. At least on the MSM, everything remotely bad he's done has been put on full blast while everything good has been sidelined and only visible on alternative news sources.
I have no problem with people calling out politicians and their flaws, but you really took it easy on the some of the more recent belonging to one side. You did get one thing recent absolutely correct, people were completely fed up with 2 party, lifelong politicians and that is exactly how Trump got in. As far as historical reflections of presidents, I think you did an excellent job. I would like to see you revisit this list again in the future.
Ya this guy is a liberal hack
Ruined sadly by bias
Call out liberal bias nobody bats an eye. Call out regressivist bias and everyone loses their minds.
See the problem with regressives?
@@theastonvillaseal585 And? You’d rather have PU and their regressive bias?
Trump got in on the empty promise that him not being a lifelong slimy politician would make a difference
People chose to ignore the fact that he was a lifelong slimy businessman, which are the same people who already run the government anyways.
“Bush became known for his bumbling speaking.”

I never realized the “Im Gerald Ford and you’re not.” Is a real quote. I thought it was just a meme for the video.
I believe this video was a bit biased, with the presidents that he didn’t like they received no light on what good things they did.
Yes I agree
I agree but his points that were brought up are biased because history is biased. Some presidents will be remembered for the good they did, others the bad they did. I believe he accurately portrayed that despite it being biased.
every president got shitted, some just done more bad than others
I was thinking the same thing until it became unquestionable during the 44th and 45th President.
Well, that's not really true, is it? LOL. I mean, can you even name ONE US President he didn't criticise?
Herbert Hoover had America’s first ever biracial Vice President - Charles Curtis the highest government ranking Native American in history.

Theodore Roosevelt hated the nickname "Teddy" ever since the day his wife died.
John Quincy adams boiiii
Depressing.
Hey john adam do you impress that your son is a president
Cool he’s alive! *Now run for president*
That is sad
Fun Fact: The reason George Washington's slaves were freed on Martha's death is because a lot of them were actually Martha's pre-marriage (if not all of them).
its stupid though people think Washington owned slaves. he didnt. his wife did. they was all her slaves or free black people brought in when he was president to do cleaning and cooking so on.
The cartoon presidents cracked me up. 😂 Good job on this very educational.
Saddest day of my life was learning Garfield died from a gun
I thought it would have been diabetes considering his lasagna addiction
@@GustavusAdolphus2 lol

He died on Monday which is even more sad.
The story of Charles J. Guiteau is VERY INTERESTING. Go look it up, honestly. He wasn’t kidding when he said “Charles killed Garfield because he didn’t give him a job.”
HOLY CRAP THIS IS EPIC.

Indeed mr beat, it’s good to see you here...
I don't think we should update the video until the president has left office, rather than when he has just been sworn in.
Thanks! :)
That’s what I did with Trump. One will inevitably talk briefly about the incumbent president.
Hmm, yes VERY UNBIASED.
I like how the narration just keeps rolling along while the illustrations provide facts that aren't spoken of.
21:51 The black man to the left is James Parker, who stopped Leon Czolgosz from firing a third shot by tackling him to the ground. Parker received high praise for the act. This was in 1901, the height of Jim Crow!
And then he unfortunately fell into obscurity, was arrested for essentially "disturbing the peace" and died less then a decade later. Based on how the police and doctors described him, he might have had some delusional disorder

*watches segment*
yeah that much has become apparent
Beg to differ. The Electoral College system isn’t hilariously over complicated. Each state has a number of electors according to their population. We are not a Democracy. Our founders deliberately and unanimously rejected the idea of a democracy because they knew history and understood human nature. We are a Constitutional Republic. If we had a democratic election system, the 3-4 most populous states would elect the president.
thats nearly what already happens. california, texas, new york, etc have far more votes than smaller states like wyoming, alaska, vermont, etc. because they have a far greater population, so they have far greater a say in who is elected president. california's 55 electoral votes trump wyoming's 3 votes. though it should be noted that smaller states are actually overrepresented because every state receives +2 electoral votes for their senate seats (electoral votes are assigned to a state based on the number of congressional districts + number of senate seats) and so because of this states receive a minimum of 3 electoral votes when (if the goal is equal representation) they should receive just 1. because of this, wyoming for example receives 1 electoral vote for roughly every 192,000 people and california receives one vote for roughly every 718,000 people. im comparing the smallest and largest state to demonstrate my point better, but it does expose that a person in a smaller state actually has *more* voting power. this skew towards smaller states is essentially the main reason why a president can win with a minority of the national popular vote, and you are right in saying that this is what the founding fathers intended and knew would occur; they weren't creating a democracy, they were creating a republic.
personally, i agree with the idea that 1 person should have 1 vote, with no vote being more or less powerful than any other. people claim that big cities/states decide elections, and thats true to an extent and it is democracy at work, but it is also a little misleading i think. giving small states greater representation would give them more of a say in whose elected and what legislation is passed (ie. stop them from being ignored by larger states). but i believe that creates an inherit inequality in the system that is unfair towards larger states, and a fair democracy would represent everyone equally. should white people be given less voting power because as the majority, they will 'decide' the election and stop minorities from having a say? that is racism, people will cry. but wouldnt giving rural, smaller states be just the same logic, just less morally egregious? geographic inequalities are inevitable in a democracy, and a logical, i believe, would not favour one geographic area over another. to me, this seems more of an inherit problem with democracy based on geographic areas if anything, and the solution that would solve it is proportional representation (ie. scraping geographic electoral divisions entirely.) though this system has its own controversies (cough cough weimar germany). (though modern day germany uses a similar system).
I guarantee if it were turned around and the conservatives were the ones winning the popular vote but losing the college, it would be a whole other story. It's easy to be like "sucks for you" when your candidate loses the popular vote but still wins. Trump lost his shit when he lost fair and square, imagine how livid he'd be if he won the most votes but still lost reelection.
Wow. You simultaneously describe the US as 'not a Democracy' and a 'Constitutional Republic'. A constitutional republic is a form of democracy, dolt. Really doesn't take a lot to get you to contradict yourself, does it? LMAO. If you can't even agree with the simple concept of democracy, then quit pretending to be the "land of the free". If you're so disrespectful of your country that can't even comprehend the idea that the majority of the population should get to decide who their leader is, then quit babbling on the internet.
You can’t expect a leftist to like the Electoral College. And he has to lie about it being overly complicated to get people on his side.
The Electoral College still feels like a serious downgrade from Constitutional monarchy!

About the “fine people on both sides” thing, 10 seconds after he said that he stated bluntly. “I do not mean the white supremacists and neo-nazis, they should be condemned totally.” To this day that’s one of the biggest lies I’ve seen the media push. That and just about everything with Kyle Rittenhouse.
Uh...yeah! Those folks may have been brandishing swastikas and chanting, "Jews will not replace us!", but I'm sure they weren't white supremacists or neo Nazis! Totally makes sense! LOL.
@@geekyradical4985 No, those guys WERE the white suprematists and neo-nazis. Those were the guys that he was saying should be condemned. When he says fine people on both sides, he means the people who are protesting the statue, and the people who are protesting those protesters.
@@brax7152 'when he says fine people on both sides, he means the people who are protesting the statue, and the people who are protesting those protesters'.
After saying there were "fine people on both sides" at the Unite Right rally, Donald tried to take back what he said by claiming that he wasn't talking about neo Nazis or white supremacists, which is ridiculous. If someone chooses to march alongside people who wave Nazi flags and chant Nazi slogans, I think that person loses all credibility in claiming not to be a Nazi. It was a neo Nazi rally. There were swastikas and white supremacist symbols as far as the eye could see at the rally. The name of the rally was 'Unite the Right'. If you want to unite with neo Nazis, I'd say you are a Nazi, regardless of what Donald thinks.

I’m trying to figure out when history becomes politics for us. I think everything pre-Reagan is “history” and everything post-Reagan is “politics”.
It’s both. All of history is politics and vice versa. History is always interpreted in some way. The further back you go, the more a consensus tends to agree with what happened, but there’s always politics.

Reagan stole the election in 1980 as he asked the Iran hostages to not release the people that they was holding until he fooled the American people that Carter was weak with the Iran hostages which in turn that he used to buy stuff until he was found out in 1986 which was far too late. If you don't believe me then the information was out and proved to be that Reagan was a bit of a fraud, Shame that I was only 5 in 1980 and even if I told my late dad who worked with Mrs T as he was a Commonwealth Secretariat he would of been not believed by his work mates as would you do anything if your daughter thought Reagan was a fraud?

10:28 You didn't mention John Adams' appointment of midnight judges, resulting in Marbury v Madison (1803) which is okay -- but you should also note here that Van Buren, with a week left in his term, nominated a new Supreme Court Justice (Peter Daniel) just one day after a sitting justice died, and got that Justice confirmed and sworn in 1 day before William Henry Harrison took office, denying our first-ever Whig President the chance to have one Supreme Court nominee. Daniel took office 10 months later. Thanks, Marty!
There's a slight inaccuracy about George Washington, while George Washington did include in his will that his slaves would not be freed until after his wife Martha's death, Martha Washington ended up making the decision to have his slaves freed early.

For those curious about why many presidents had slaves while speaking against it, they had a “gradual emancipation” mindset where their conditions would be improved upon overtime until they eventually were the same as ordinary citizens. Thomas Jefferson and others felt that abolishing it completely and immediately would devastate the economy and cause tensions to rise.

the first was the Every Vote Counts Amendment, which actually proposed the popular way of voting in a POTUS and VPOTUS. It was introduced twice in 2005 and 2009 by Representative Gene Green, a Dem from Texas. It died in the 111th Congress.

What you said about trump is uper biased.
Not too sure what to tell you apart from that it's hard to stay objective when it comes to extremists. If this video criticised neo Nazis or the KKK, I think certain groups of people would also be accusing the author of being too biased.
Honestly the only thing I'm disappointed in in this video was that he didn't criticize the early 20th century presidents more
Well were here for facts not opinions bud
I'd prefer he didn't criticize them at all, rather trying to let the viewer come to their own conclusions.
To add to this, I realise that having zero bias is nearly impossible, but openly criticizing someone in a video that's presenting itself as factual is something I'd rather not have.
Anyways, I still agree with his criticisms it's just that I'd rather the video be wholly unbiased.
Fdr and lincoln mightve been some of the closest things the us has had to dictators tbh, they were good presidents don’t get me wrong, but still

If it wasn't for freeing the slaves history would had a not so likely good view on Lincoln (at least in my view)

"Capitalist regimes have a lot of these little depressions"
Yeah because socialist and communist have just one long depression.
And millions of starving bellies and blistered hands...
To be fair, one thing being less bad than another doesn't mean it's necessarily good, or that we shouldn't look into alternative ways of doing things. Admittedly, though, him simply saying "Capitalism" was a bit iffy, considering how broad the definition and types of capitalism can get.
Denmark and Sweden, who are objectively Socialist and have some of the strongest economies in Europe, have FREE HEALTHCARE (wow, something America has done the reverse of), are objectively more free than the US, and get to reap the benefits of being in an economic union with Europe: *B R U H*

President Polk was my personal favourite. He was a workaholic who achieved so much for the country in a single term, but it came at a price as he died from exhaustion during a chlorea epidemic just three months after leaving office when he was just 53 years old.
Polk had gallstones when he was a teenager. He had stomach problems early in life. He also is one of my favorite presidents. Love that he said what he was going to do and did it in 4 years.
Polk? He's alright. Nowhere near Theodore Roosevelt level.

"Look at how many depressions happen under capitalism"
I mean, it's far better than a country like the Soviet Union, who's entire existence was the equivalent of a capitalist recession. (USA FOUR TIMES higher GDP per capita than the Soviet Union in 1991)
"We have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifice. The fact is that capitalism was built on the exploitation and suffering of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor-both black and white, here and abroad."
-Martin Luther King Jr.
@@geekyradical4985 Slavery in the US, Gulag labor camps in the Soviet Union. Capitalism has shown plenty of despicable aspects, MLK is right-on about that. But you are quoting this in a context to suggest a system like that in the Soviet Union is preferable. I recommend reading up on more history of the treatment of citizens (especially the Gulag camps) under the Soviet Union before becoming too confident about such a conclusion.
I wish it were as simple as Communism = good, Capitalism = bad. Unfortunately, history is exceedingly more complex than that. But also fascinating the more you learn about it.
@@night6724 I know you're not responding to me, but to be fair to Earnest, one of the biggest motivating factors for the existence of slavery was the ability to profit economically from it's institution within the framework of a Capitalist social system. I agree that certainly does not mean something like Communism is preferable. But lets not view Capitalism just with rose-colored glasses either.
@@night6724 Capitalism is what perpetuated slavery. The profit southern slave owners made from slavery was one of their biggest justifications for conserving it. They argued for the right of a select few to prosper and hoard wealth at the expense of the downtrodden, like you're doing right now.
@@night6724 Slavery significantly benefitted the cotton businesses of slave owners. That's why slavery was so beloved among the capitalists of the time. They defended the freedom to reduce the freedom of others in the name of profit, just like the capitalists of today. They now treat basic human rights like health and education as commodities like they treated human beings as commodities in the 1800s.
20:47 Isn’t it funny that majority of market economies have a obesity problem, but a majority of command economies have a starvation problem, where they result to eating pets, insects, and, in some cases, each other.
"Funny how capitalism has recessions and scares!"
Funny how communism doesn't because the best it's ever gotten is about as good as American recession levels..
Well I'll have you know, the leaders of Communist counties are obese so checkmate! /s
man its almost like capitalism needs major reform to work for the working class instead of the cabal of corporate elites at the top and that you completely missed the point of the entire section because youre pearl clutching about "MUH GOMMUNZIM!!!!! !NOOOOOOOo!!!!!!!!!!!! HEALTHCARE IS LIDERALLY USSR STALIN GEORGE ORWELL 1984!!!!!".
capitalism is a great system when the people running it are ethical and actually follow the rules, but instead in the real world, these people dont do anything with their money or assets and instead choose to hoard them as they watch their number rise on a forbes chart. its stupid to think anybody actually needs 10 billion dollars to survive in their day to day life. a billion dollars is such an unbelievably incomprehensible number its insane.
ua-cam.com/video/0J6BQDKiYyM/v-deo.html
these people at the top are 1. not paying taxes by abusing the multitude of loopholes they pay congress to keep open every year, 2. do not spend their money or liquidate any assets and 3. most do not donate shit
when there are 3 or 4 massive companies strangling smaller businesses and people hoarding wealth, you no longer have a free market, you have corporate socialism. because even if the companies make a massive fucking blunder and lose everything, they can be comfortable knowing that the government which they have paid off will be happy to spend the tax dollars of the american public bailing them out (see 2008 bailouts)
capitalism is a great system that drives innovation and can lift people from poverty, when it is working as intended and not being exploited, and unfortunately in the US, its been exploited for decades. in a moral and just society, people should not be dying because they are too poor to live, we need to broaden the social safety net. what is more patriotic? bowing down to some corporate overlord who is in essence plundering the US market to make as much money as possible and giving nothing back in return? or helping your fellow american live a happier and more comfortable life?
you can decide.
@@cayorne I have not engaged in a good debate on UA-cam in awhile now. Let’s dive in. Now, John confirmed that he is a socialist when he responded to a comment that critiqued socialism with him saying along the lines of “at least we don’t do blah blah blah”. So I can call him a command economy stooge, because he is one. I did not call him a commie. Unlike most people I know the difference between communism and socialism
Sure a person does not need 10 billion dollars, but he can do whatever he wants with his money as long as it is legal. Also not subverting American interests. In the long run, capitalism is about making money for oneself, not charity. Which yes, can be annoying and harmful, but luckily we are mixed economy that has regulations so companies don’t con consumers and employees. Loopholes should be delt with, I can agree on that. I agree companies should not be bailed out to some degree.
How do you propose we deal with these massive companies?
“Don’t expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong” -Calvin Coolidge
These companies are very important to the American economy and could easily change your life for the worse if we destroy them too much. Apple phones would become more expensive, Amazon shipping increase in price, Microsoft systems longer to release and etc. Also thousands of workers in America that would have to be laid off if these companies become to small.
Poverty will always be around, but we can minimize it. Now I am not against to some government benefits to the poor, but taxing or regulating the living hell out of companies will not fix the problem. Giving and charity is more of a culture thing. If you want less poor on the streets encourage that. I always recommend the idea give companies tax breaks and benefits to the amount of charity they do. So they aren’t destroyed by government regulation and the have the encouragement to better communities for benefits. I would love to hear some ideas from ya.
the commonality of obesity is a recent phenomena, if it were the cause of market economy then it would have been like that for a very long time, the reason why so many people are obese is because so many of the cheapest foods nowadays are loaded with high fructose corn syrup and provide almost no nutritional value, and the (ever increasing) lower classes are eating this because its what's available to them

Something I would love to see from a president within the next decade is BIPARTISANSHIP.
This is the entire history of the United States summarized under an hour. Good job. A nice review.
The one thing I want to correct is 36:25 where you said Nixon ended involvement in Vietnam. Nixon actively opposed taking troops out of Vietnam, but congress passed the War Resolution Act. Nixon vetoed the act, but congress passed it with a 2/3 super majority vote officially forcing the president to withdraw troops.
This also works as a compressed summary of American history as a whole.
I had no idea people had such huge eyes back in the day..
Every president in American history was far from perfect "some less than others" but whatever their shortcomings were actions will always speak louder than words like you said.
Nobody is perfect, and with the two party system we have, the person elected won’t ever be the best choice regardless of the party that won. We could really use a strong and good president right now to help unify the country after the chaos of the pandemic and the scandals and the racial and foreign tension.

Small correction; the Capital of the USA was founded as “the District of Colombia,” people started calling it “Washington” after our first President in the 19th century, which is why maps put “Washington, the District of Colombia” on it to this day. That’s where “Washington DC” comes from. Also because we eventually admitted a state called “Washington” and needed some specificity.
"A new federal city was then constructed on the north bank of the Potomac, to the east of Georgetown. On September 9, 1791, the three commissioners overseeing the capital's construction named the city in honor of President Washington. The same day, the federal district was named Columbia (a feminine form of "Columbus"), which was a poetic name for the United States commonly in use at that time.[30][31] Congress held its first session there on November 17, 1800.[32][33]
Congress passed the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1801 which officially organized the district and placed the entire territory under the exclusive control of the federal government. Further, the area within the district was organized into two counties: the County of Washington to the east (or north) of the Potomac and the County of Alexandria to the west (or south).[34] After the passage of this Act, citizens living in the district were no longer considered residents of Maryland or Virginia, which therefore ended their representation in Congress.[35]"
...
Congress passed the Organic Act of 1871, which repealed the individual charters of the cities of Washington and Georgetown, abolished Washington County, and created a new territorial government for the whole District of Columbia.[45]"
