Dear John Green. My students literally cheered when they realized I was showing another Crash Course in social studies class. From the bottom of my heart - thank you!
I don't get how people can hate crash course. To be honest, I absolutely love this show and your crew should keep up the excellent work! XD Thank you John Green
+Newfypuppie Too liberal? Liberal=progress/open? What's wrong with that? How can it be liberal? It's history, not the embellished narratives and myths most teachers usually teach. ? I dunno know, not real sure what you're trying to say.
Jarred Richards I come to these videos to learn about american history so I can study apush. not having femminism foisted upon me. I don't have anything against the movements, but if they want to make a video talking about women's rights. it shouldn't be in one that explains the 7 years war
Just a piece of trivia that I learned: the reason that it is called the "Seven Years War" even though it lasted nine years is because the British did not officially declare war until 1756 which means officially the war technically only lasted 7 years.
To everyone trying to cram for the AP national exam: a toast (of copious amounts of black coffee) to many more all-nighters and stress induced migraines. The two weeks of "what did I get myself into" before the exam, starts now. May the force be with you.
Zena S, Awesome! I made a three on AP Euro, but it was my teacher's first time with an AP course and my first AP ever. I think I'll do better with APUSH this year.
Btw if anyone's worried there isn't enough content to do well on the APUSH test just from watching crash course there's a channel called Hiemler's History that goes thru all the actual periods and its also clear and easy to understand
Honesty what would any of us do if Crash Course was never created. It's truly a gift and saves me from failing all of my tests. Thank you Hank and John Green
I took AP World last school year and got a 5 on the exam that is nearly entirely due to crash course world history. The Mongols, having long been my favorite civilization, were by nature my favorite theme on CCWH: I even bought the "We are the exception" tee shirt. Having said that, I got super nostalgic when the mongoltage played. Thank you John-Green-3-years-ago
i don't think john's globe with every country blacked out except america gets enough appreciation. we love a history teacher who also makes subtle social commentary
These are pretty good reviews of history that are not boring and are actually pretty funny. Thanks John Green! Everybody wish me luck on my end of the year U.S History test tomorrow.
Hi John!! My name is jonathan, im from Israel! I love Crash Course!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm watching it and summarizing it in hebrew, it's a great way to increase general knowledge! Thank you for this great thing!
sadly :( but to all looking for help, I've been told that reconstruction, progressive era, Jacksonian democracy, and American Revolution are the main periods you need to hit hard and split up your time on. Other stuff is important but dbq's and short answers will be based on those eras.
wow that was so incredibly packed with stuff I didn't know, I didn't realize how much of that period was relevant to present day North America this is probably my favorite episode so far of both history courses !
Yo if your teacher is assigning or putting these on in your class that teacher is awesome. They know how good & useful these videos are and are giving you a prime opportunity
I just took a semester of American history and this playlist helped me in so many ways. I could not get A+ without you guys. So thank you so very much crash course.
May 4th, 2017. The day thousands of juniors flock to John Green to teach them AP US History because they didn't pay attention in class. Good luck guys ;)
Hi John, I just want to say thank you for such an engaging and educational program. I'm past my primary and secondary education but I come here just to enjoy and learn. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to knowledge. I hope you have as much fun making these as I have watching them.
I'm trying to watch all of these Crash Course videos in order. This is more informative than even my college courses, and are going on perfectly on my second monitor while I work on art!
This man has re-taught me the history I learned in school, but this is different, because I actually remember it. He teaches it in a way that I never could, and he makes it fun! :D
@@sharkyenaqueenm5908 By now you should have learned, taking steps not to fail won't help. You either fail the class or your physical and mental health are failing.
Boy am I glad I am not 'cramming' for an AP test. I'm just as glad I didn't have to cram for an AP test when I was in school. They didn't have them back then. I am glad I can just sit back, watch these, critique them, and use them to help me prepare lesson plans for a home school course I am soon going to start teaching. Wayne Cooke BS '72
i took it today. Hopefully I got a good score. Easier than I thought it would, but I thought it was going to be extremely hard, so don't get your hopes up. It's still a medium difficulty I'm not sure if I was allowed to say that . . .
I am Canadian. I just thought I should say that before commenting on a video of American history made by Americains. I always loved the North Americain colonial era and was disappointed about how much I learned about the subject in elementary school. So, thank you crash course, for making me a more knowledgeable person. :)
So... how good I was at school from best to worst: English, Science, Math, History. History has PERPETUALLY been rock bottom in my list of proficiencies. Yet, here I am enjoying the history playlists on Crash Course way more than those of the sciences.
I have my APUSH AP exax next friday and these videos help me out sooooooooooooo much. Thank you Mr. Green you have been a huge help with this subject much love.
1:01 So, like..yeah. They actually do put history into little boxes that we study for fifty minutes a day until the bell rings. You should do something about that. Because that's all it means to me. A class in which I wait for the bell. This is why I watch your videos. So I can maybe to some degree convinced myself that I'm capable of learning. And that's if I can keep up with you.
You're not the only one, but since (For me) the French and Indian War and American Revolution was not so interesting, not much stuck. I remember killing General Braddock. And I remember Conner's mother not killing George Washington.
Mike Kunza Id prefer a proper mug of common sense instead, I dont like american freedom, its like silly string, useless. :c (Also the danish constituition is way better, looks like the triforce! :3)
Y'all watch these!! I got a 5 on the AP test and its all because of these videos and my teacher. This stuff is great for the essays. Watch them all the day before the test.
When I saw this was about the 7 Years War I decided to watch just because I was hoping you would mention the Acadians. You didn't fail me. My family is Acadian! In fact, my last name, LeBlanc, is one of the most popular Acadian names. There was even a village called "Village LeBlanc" (or LeBlanc Village.. one or the other). If you look up stuff about Acadians you'll see the name LeBlanc poping up a lot. My family even owns acreage in Nova Scotia to this day. Although French is only my second language & I live in Western Canada, I still have lots of French speaking relatives back East in Nova Scotia. I'm very proud of my Acadian roots.
This actually saved me. I was supposed to read a textbook chapter about this and answer some questions for school. Instead, I watched this and managed to finish my homework in a third of the time it would usually take me
I absolutely love Crash Course! It gives you a full understanding of pretty much Everything! Brilliant work! BUT PLEASE speak a little bit slower or make longer pauses cause it is difficult to perceive and remember information in a such fast pace!!! thank you!
+CrashCourse Hey guys, fantastic episode. I had my U.S. History Teacher introduce me to you guys and now, I can`t stop watching you, seriously, its 4:24 P.m and I`m sitting at my Computer to watch a show about U.S history instead of stupid gaming videos or cat fails. You guys . . . are awesome. -Nathan S. Garden City Middle School
I realize this comment is over a year old, but APUSH is offered outside the states. Foreigners usually take it if they plan on going to an American school.
Thanks! This witty primer on the significance of slavery to British colonial prosperity and the aptly named Seven Years War. As someone living in Los Angeles now, I also appreciated the revealing detail of there only being 300 people in Los Angeles at that time.
Dear John Green. My students literally cheered when they realized I was showing another Crash Course in social studies class. From the bottom of my heart - thank you!
I don't get how people can hate crash course. To be honest, I absolutely love this show and your crew should keep up the excellent work! XD Thank you John Green
Watched this in class today.
Luciana Suárez H I enjoy it every time
It gets a bit too liberal sometimes
+Newfypuppie Too liberal? Liberal=progress/open? What's wrong with that? How can it be liberal? It's history, not the embellished narratives and myths most teachers usually teach. ? I dunno know, not real sure what you're trying to say.

"For today we're just going to refer to it as the seven years war on account of how it lasted for nine years"
LMFAO.
That made me laugh so hard
best crashcourse intro ever
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one 😂
LOL that was really funny
Nice
same
When he said "ocean away" all I could think of was Angelica and Hamilton's "Do you have to be an ocean away?"
Just a piece of trivia that I learned: the reason that it is called the "Seven Years War" even though it lasted nine years is because the British did not officially declare war until 1756 which means officially the war technically only lasted 7 years.
The Seven Years War: Now with 2 Bonus years for your warring pleasure.
Lmao
Ay Lmao
The super religious animation actually killed me. I love you Crash Course, I will donate as much money as I can as soon as I get a proper job.
To everyone trying to cram for the AP national exam: a toast (of copious amounts of black coffee) to many more all-nighters and stress induced migraines. The two weeks of "what did I get myself into" before the exam, starts now. May the force be with you.
Preach
Lol I'm cramming only a few days before the test :-p to me cramming is not two weeks before!
So... How did things go?
Well I passed with a 4! Thank You John Green!
Zena S, Awesome! I made a three on AP Euro, but it was my teacher's first time with an AP course and my first AP ever. I think I'll do better with APUSH this year.
Btw if anyone's worried there isn't enough content to do well on the APUSH test just from watching crash course there's a channel called Hiemler's History that goes thru all the actual periods and its also clear and easy to understand
just thought I would spread the word
Honesty what would any of us do if Crash Course was never created. It's truly a gift and saves me from failing all of my tests. Thank you Hank and John Green
3:48 I was younger than you are now, when I was given my first command,
I lead my men straight into a massacre,
I witnessed their deaths first hand.
I LOVE YOU.
I made every mistake,
and felt the shame rise in me,
and even now I lie awake, knowing history has its eyes on me
Let me tell you what I wish I'd known,
when I was young and dreamed of glory:
You have no control
who lives, who dies, who tells your story
*clutches chest*
ow. in the good way.

Send me the exam answers
"Today we're gonna call it the 7 Years War on account of how it lasted 9 years."
Sometimes I can't even.
Breathe.
@TCAT numbers are hard
taking notes on a John green video is like trying to slap a sticky note to the side of a fast moving bullet train
History is like a sit com some moments are just so priceless they just don't seem real.

Why couldn't you have taught my history classes? Oh well, I can pretend that I'm 12 years old again. Thanks for the fun approach.
Nah cause i actually enjoy watching these😭 and coming from an angsty teen- y’all did something right
He talks fast but gives a lot of important information.
I'll hate to take notes from this dude!!!

Heyyy
Half of my college US history assignments are watching crash course videos and connecting the concepts to our textbooks. I was just swindled for $600
should have cleped
....Am I the only one who watches crash course for fun?
Yes. However Im not going to lie it is VERY entertaining
+Rubab Zahber I have absolutely no reason to watch this channel. I just enjoy it too!
+Rubab Zahber Nope. I do too! I've already seen all the history stuff, I'm just watching it again because it's cool.

It has been nearly 7 years since John Green first taught us about the Seven Years War.
I watched this when I was in 8th grade and now I’m back here watching this my freshman year of college! Hurray!

Sorry John Green, but the stress from this exam makes me cry more than all of your novels combined.....

I actually learned a lot about this... from AC III. Am I the only person who reads the databases?
You're not the only one, but since (For me) the French and Indian War and American Revolution was not so interesting, not much stuck. I remember killing General Braddock. And I remember Conner's mother not killing George Washington.

"We're gonna call it the seven years war on account of how it lasted for nine years" That had me laughing all day
I will write the APUSH exam with a red pen of any color.
When u going to take apush this semester and studying early
YES!
When you're only taking hush this year but your teacher uses as a prep for apush
Time to start a push review with under 11 hours left
I've watched these videos for my US History and now my AP US History classes and I'm just now realizing that this is THE John Green?!

who’s getting bored in quarantine?
Thanks! This witty primer on the significance of slavery to British colonial prosperity and the aptly named Seven Years War. As someone living in Los Angeles now, I also appreciated the revealing detail of there only being 300 people in Los Angeles at that time.
We're going to call it 7 years war because of how long it was, which was 9 years
