I love your knowledge about the African American history. As a black man myself I can see how this is relevant. The legacy of the slave code still lives on til this day. I look forward to your future videos.
Clint is doing a great job. Such a shame that the subject matter requires discussions of Black American History to be somber and depressing. So glad to be learning about it
Thank you for taking your time to make these great educational videos Crash Course. This very important, so we learn the root of when all of these issues started.
As much as I have learned from and enjoyed other series, I subscribed via Patreon because of this series. Being from the UK, we are taught about the slave trade to some extent but very little about how the laws in the US developed. (Under the framework laid out by the British monarchy and legal systems until the US gained independence, I might add). I knew nothing of how the laws were literally made up on the hoof to be discriminatory. We can't go back in time and we can't correct every wrong from the past but it's never been clearer to me that the legacy of colonialism impacts an individual's life chances and opportunities today. Until there is a level of cultural acceptance as to the history of the US and that it's rise as a world power owed an awful lot to the work of the enslaved, appropriate restitution is unlikely to happen. For many people, this series will be a starting point in their understanding of that cultural history.
It’s insane that I am 40 and just learning this. I’ll take some of the blame because it is my responsibility to know. However, why was I not taught any of this in school? They sure shoved Christopher Columbus down my throat
Thank you for these videos Clint. Probably one of the most important topics one can learn about, while also being one of the most intentionally misrepresented by the american schooling system.
I don't think it's too far off to say that workers are always an underclass, that corporations always look at their employees only as monetary assets Slavery is different, worse, than that. A worker can't leave their job because they need to pay rent, pay bills, raise a family, a slave can't leave their job because they'll be physically tortured if they try. There is a distinction to be made here.

I am taking my first African American studies class and I think this video will be helpful got me to understand the subject matter for our first essay. Thank you.
Another great video. Is this a sad story of unnecessary harm or a triumphant story the progress made? Both. Let’s proudly own the history we want to repeat and make sure we separate our identities from the crimes of our ancestors.
I wonder if American slaves could go back & get the paperwork from the slave master to see what they had planned for their slaves. If anything happened to them?
Crash Course is about to teach what a lot of American schools don't want to
absolutely tragic that this series isn't being viewed by nearly as many people that it should be
Painful, but important knowledge. Thank you.

This video has over 1M views. Awesome! I plan to see EVERY video in this series.
This continues to be a very enlightening series. Thank you for the clear explanations!
Black American History should be an essential part of education in the United States.
Watched all of this series this morning and my goodness I'm ashamed in how much i did not know about my own history.
This is both powerful and disheartening.
Roots 1977 made me cry but it was needed. I live in England but American history is taught here. This crash course was worth watching.
I’m so glad that this channel exists
I think this history is important to know. Thank you
Very calm and reasoned presentation. This should be taught in schools. Facts not opinions.

I love your level of explanation!!!
Thanks again, Clint. I'm learning a lot through this series.

These videos are amazing and incredibly interesting. Great job guys 👍🏻
Classes that teach!!!
Clint, you are probably the best person to host this series.
It’s insane that I am 40 and just learning this. I’ll take some of the blame because it is my responsibility to know. However, why was I not taught any of this in school? They sure shoved Christopher Columbus down my throat
Another great video brother. I really appreciate the way you approach this topic 👏🏾
youre doing gods work, clint
This is awesome, I'm so glad to be learning this! Great that crash course is doing this!
Deeper understanding of slavery in America and why Its still being felt Today
Being black is awesome but our history is so sad
Reading those laws typed out on that old piece of paper was chilling...
tomorrow im having my exam on slavery thank you so much for this video and the whole serie in general it really helped me in my revision
I love this series!
Thank you for these videos Clint. Probably one of the most important topics one can learn about, while also being one of the most intentionally misrepresented by the american schooling system.
This is an invaluable resource to ad to my early American history course. Students love it.

Really enjoying this series! Thank you for making it!
I am appreciative of this channel.
Keep it coming please!
There were things I knew however you did shed light on a few things I wasn't aware of . Knowing this timeline is key .
Very helpful and useful series. Thank you, but our people did not. Overcome these laws, we survive them because they still exist today.
I am taking my first African American studies class and I think this video will be helpful got me to understand the subject matter for our first essay. Thank you.
Educational!
Such an informative video!
Great video
Thank you, just thank you.
Dang, I thought this video was going to be an inspiring video about the codes used to communicate and escape. How wrong I was 😢
Thank you. Barstow Jr. High.
It was a dark and shameful chapter in human(not so)kind's history 😔
Thank you.
