Excellent!
great video, would recommend to anyone interested in politics
Great video for explaining the origins of American political culture, but I would like to point out how this video paints a picture of an "untamed and uncharted wilderness (4.45 and 4.57) ...with land free for the taking (5.26)." With no mention of the people who already lived here, knew the land, and had their own systems of government- people who tried to defend their land in the exact same ways that the farmers and merchants fended off the British at the beginning of the video. I encourage you to watch the first five minutes again through this lens... think of the British as colonists and the merchants and farmers as the native Americans. Amazing that this view is still being put out by Harvard, and so recently. Very unfortunate.

Just for the sake of the rant, here's a few other times this video erased unsavory parts of America's culture and history, in favor of a watered down rose-colored view.
(5.26) "...when land was freely available and could be made productive by their own hand,"
- Do you think the Native Americans didn't eat? This land was already productive, and certainly not "freely available." It was occupied, as it had been for generations. Let's not forget who taught the first colonists to farm locally found foods so they didn't starve to death in their new environment.
(6.45) *proceeds to list many individual countries which Americans may be from, including "Africa" as if Africa is a country and not a continent* He then proceeds to mention that he once spoke to a man from a specific African country to make up for this.
(9.25) "Unequal treatment was also the fate of Native Americans, and of women. Asians too."
-And now that we've mentioned Native Americans halfway through the establishment of America, let's discuss a different group in a way that suggests that an immigration ban is the worst way we have treated Asians in the US... never mind those internment camps.
(13.30) "By the early 1960s, 3/4 of non southern whites favored an end to racial discriminations in restaurants, hotels, and other public accommodations."
-Translated to: "As recently as the 1960s, the majority of southern whites and around 25% of non-southern whites supported segregation in public spaces."
(18.00) "Why does the United States invest so heavily in public education?"
-I would ask why the average American student's tuition at an in-state, public institution (as cheap as it gets) is almost $10,000 per year, while one third of developed countries offer students free college tuition and another third keep their tuition costs below the US equivalent of $2,400. (Thank you for offering free videos, Harvard. Education is important. If I watch them all can I get my Harvard Bachelor's degree too?)
lol
I want THIS guy as president
Same
17:43 what university is that?
UVA
America was not "uncharted wilderness land" there were dirt roads, organized agriculture and villigages.
Public education was originally fought for by recently freed slaves and then poor whites also benefited and were educated together before it later became segregated.
"England, Mexico, Ireland, India, Vietnam, Africa, Germany" Ah yes, "Africa", my country of orgin.
Can you translate this video to Arabic subtitle
Unequal treatment was not the "fate" of Native Americans or women, it was the oppression that was thrust upon them. It was not nesisary or inevitable.
Nor was it the "fate" of Asians.
We should reenact the intelligence right laws to police. Thet keep forgetting their opinion and options for the U.S. Citizens is a form intelligence, that is not the rights for Police yo offer to the citizens to care, unless it has to deal with the law. This is the reason for the States Police violence and misuse of the federal government properties.
I don’t see why Americans:
1. have a low voter turnout
2. vote for a third party option
especially if they are so sick of the current system. If you don’t vote, you have no right to complain. If you vote for corrupt politicians, then as George Orwell said ‘you are not a victim, you are an accomplice’, irregardless of your ideological beliefs
Too bad it failed not to repeat the same mistakes as the former empire
😂 hilarious.
They didn't just fight to free themselves of a king. It was a king that was trying to shut down slavery, and said that the colonists had to respect their treaties with the natives. They were fighting for domination not freedom.
Now this is tea
try doing your research Paul wasn't the only one who rode--sybil ludington went further
Get a computer-brain interface, worken crCO, protected by rocks, lost 100 men, nearly to Boston, govern themselves. All men are created equal!😉
