Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate-we can not consecrate-we can not hallow-this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. -You
Is it just me or does anyone else rewatch all of Oversimplified’s videos by accident every time he uploads a new video. By accident I mean I rewatch all of his content without realizing it until I’ve already rewatched everything
We still pay the 'Stamp tax' in the UK, we call it Stamp duty and whenever someone buys a house over a certain price they pay a % in tax towards the government. When David Cameron was Prime Minister he scrapped Stamp Duty for first time buyers in order to help them get onto the property ladder. Part of the Economic Covid relief efforts of the current Government they've frozen stamp duty all together so you don't have to pay it if you're buying a house till a later date.
Fun fact, Paul Revere didn't actually scream throughout his journey, "The British Are Coming!" because the people in the Thirteen Colonies at the time were literally British, so he said "Regulars Are Coming" and instead of screaming it was much discreet.
The thing is, the only reason I clicked on this video is because it said, “American Revolution” and I fricking LOVE Hamilton the musical so literally everything I hear in this I know so yeah
Thats actually part of the mith. The guy Revere didint say "The british are coming!" because in that time many still belived that they were british and it would have caused a very big mess in the comunication line
This is how I think history education should be, I'm serious. Just enough information for almost any person, unless you're really interested or you plan to become a historian. Without diving too deep into details and specific dates, just gives you the overall idea of what happened. This is how it needs to be.
Whenever he brings up a person or event that really interests me I just look it up, what you said is perfect, he says enough that you understand what happened and if you want to know more you easily can
Except for the fact that like most videos that chronicle the history of America, it forgets to mentions that 99% of the reason the Founding Fathers wanted a revolution so badly was because they were the ones most being effected by the taxes and the people who supported the Monarchy had already been so deeply effected by it that it didn’t matter if anything changed, they knew fundamentally their lives wouldn’t be that much different under the new regime....
America- "So, we are in the middle of a war.....Can we get some help?" France- "Nah, we're like super poor." America- "It's against England." France *cool dude shades on* "I'm on my way."
America: "Hey, England. When are you gonna give up?" England: *Sipping tea* "Nah, man. We don't give up." America: *Sighs* "We do have donuts." England: "Doughnuts." America: *Starts singing America (Fuck yeah!)* *WW2 comes along* England: "We need your help. There's this guy. Hitler. America: "Big bro, I am on my way."
"Not the sugar you freaking idiot" "Thats our source of power, like the hair of Samson!"The time the americans spilled the sugar into the sea, it was already a delcaration of war for britain
FYI, Everyone was British at the time. They would have cried out that the "Red Coats" were coming, because yelling out that the "British were coming" would have cause confusion.
@@marchhare5868 Right, but only 1/3 of the people wanted Revolution, and again they wouldn't have said "the British are coming". That has been distorted as time has passed.
@@mcalladin5314 More than likely each different rider said something different, but my point is they wouldn't have said the "British are coming." Sadly people learn about the midnight riders from the Civil War poem of Paul Revere, which got it all wrong.
Terry Texas you possess a rare trait in these days called common sense, which was honestly pretty common not that long ago. Rational and critical thought is a dying trait.
Fun fact: When Howe was besieging New York he was actually pretty sympathetic to the American side and tried to write Washington letters asking him lay down his arms but washington refused to read the first letter because Howe addressed the letter George Washington instead of General Washington. So Howe starts writing letters adding on these faux titles (such as Esquire) to the letters but Washington never looks at any of them because they are not addressed to General Washington.
It’s like that Spongebob joke where Patrick adds 90 titles to his name demanding SpongeBob uses them all. “That’s Mr. Dr. Lord Captain General Washington, Esq. Sir, MMLXVIII
Because the British were considered to be the ones who settled down in the 13 colonies , so the Americans = British so that is why nowadays they are soulmates
@@thebritishhistorian5717 They still weren't that friendly with each other, up until the civil war, where the British would've likely sided with the confederate rebels, if it wasn't for social pressure.

It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Americans: *Blink*
British: There’s a tax for that
*dude... uncool.*
so mr krabs
There is tax for that
We still pay the 'Stamp tax' in the UK, we call it Stamp duty and whenever someone buys a house over a certain price they pay a % in tax towards the government. When David Cameron was Prime Minister he scrapped Stamp Duty for first time buyers in order to help them get onto the property ladder. Part of the Economic Covid relief efforts of the current Government they've frozen stamp duty all together so you don't have to pay it if you're buying a house till a later date.

Fun fact, Paul Revere didn't actually scream throughout his journey, "The British Are Coming!" because the people in the Thirteen Colonies at the time were literally British, so he said "Regulars Are Coming" and instead of screaming it was much discreet.
I thought he warned the British.

This is how I think history education should be, I'm serious. Just enough information for almost any person, unless you're really interested or you plan to become a historian. Without diving too deep into details and specific dates, just gives you the overall idea of what happened. This is how it needs to be.
Lol
Yeah but they should go a little more into detail about how tyrants come into power and such. Just enough so that history doesnt repeat itself
This channel is my history teacher in a nutshell
It’s good for a general idea of what happened which is good to have even if u don’t particularly find history interested
Whenever he brings up a person or event that really interests me I just look it up, what you said is perfect, he says enough that you understand what happened and if you want to know more you easily can
the fact that 2 videos from this dude is better than a whole month of education from my history teacher

This should be mandatory viewing in every high school in America.
Except for the fact that like most videos that chronicle the history of America, it forgets to mentions that 99% of the reason the Founding Fathers wanted a revolution so badly was because they were the ones most being effected by the taxes and the people who supported the Monarchy had already been so deeply effected by it that it didn’t matter if anything changed, they knew fundamentally their lives wouldn’t be that much different under the new regime....

You know america refused to get involved in ww2 before pearl harbor right?

Fun fact: When Howe was besieging New York he was actually pretty sympathetic to the American side and tried to write Washington letters asking him lay down his arms but washington refused to read the first letter because Howe addressed the letter George Washington instead of General Washington. So Howe starts writing letters adding on these faux titles (such as Esquire) to the letters but Washington never looks at any of them because they are not addressed to General Washington.

I like how in the American Revolution, the USA and Britain were enemies till the end, yet beginning with WW2, the USA and Britain were soulmates
And the Americans thought we were so much worse than we were, then decided to be friends after 1812
Enemies to lovers real
Because the British were considered to be the ones who settled down in the 13 colonies , so the Americans = British so that is why nowadays they are soulmates
