    Hello everyone, I made an error in converting the height from the imperial system to the metric system. Thank you to all of you who have brought this to my attention. Here are the corrections:
    163 cm = 5'4
    165 cm = 5'5
    168 cm = 5'6
    170 cm = 5'7
    173 cm = 5'8
    175 cm = 5'9

      Two jobs. He also advised Americans to avoid "entangling alliances" Though this was motivated by desire to prevent us from being manipulated and controlled by stronger European powers. By the time we formed such alliances, we were the ones doing the controlling. They might not be as concerned by alliances as the large standing army, given standing armies classic association with military takeovers. Or perhaps they (Washington in particular) would see the fervency of military officers support for civilian control and their avoidance of involvement in politics while in uniform and feel confident that they hd done well on this issue.

      @isheetfromaswhole3657 Год назад +35

      Jefferson would not be fascinated by memes because memes existed in his time.
      Parody, satire, humorous takes on ideas, exaggerating something, and plain old making fun of a thing or mocking a thing.
      I hate the word meme because people actually think it is a new thing.
      Every "meme" I've seen is not original IN FORM.

      Random Guy Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton were both members of George Washington’s cabinet. Jefferson was the first Secretary of State and Hamilton was the first Secretary of Treasury, and used his time in office to develop the financial system America still uses today. They disagreed on just about *every* issue of the time (especially American finances) and pretty much hated each other’s guts. Despite this, Hamilton endorsed Jefferson’s campaign for presidency over Aaron Burr, who would later kill Hamilton in a duel. During his presidency, Jefferson tried and failed to reform the American financial system Hamilton created.
      The bit about Jefferson immediately punching Hamilton was more or less a joke about their intense rivalry.

      Well, Tokugawa would probably be horrified that Japan had been occupied by a foreign power and forced to renounce its military. He'd also probably be shocked that Christianity was legal in modern Japan, though relieved that it remains a small minority. The warlords would be perplexed at the existence of democracy, even given the knowledge that it was imposed by a foreign power. I have no idea what they would think of popular culture, aside from a general disdain for foreign influence.

      Scientifically, economically, culturally, and politically to varying extents, Japan is a regional powerhouse and not to be underestimated on the global scale either. Perhaps enough to earn some approval from even the stanch isolationists of their time?

      @@noizepusher7594 The show can be that they somehow got sent to present day America and now they have to adjust to modern life. The jokes practically write themselves.
      I can total see an episode where the Republican and Democrat presidential candidates are trying to out do each other in serving George Washington (who will get progressively more and more annoyed with each attempt) so they can get his endorsement for the upcoming election. And it can culminate in him publicly denouncing both candidates and the whole party system and then him endorsing some independent party candidate (and said independent ends up winning).
      There can also be some serious episodes, like Alexander Hamilton or John Adams addressing a crowd of BLM about to face off against some random anti-BLM group. And he then successfully diffuses the situation.
      And maybe have an episode where Thomas Jefferson declares war on the federal reserve, only to have Hamilton come up and try to stop him. They end up fighting and both get arrested and Washington has to bail them out.
      Or maybe another episode when they learn about the Civil War (their worst fears made manifest) and how there are still scars that haven’t healed right to this day.

Regardless of the racism of his time, he was engaged in homosexual behavior with John Laurens, so I think he would be more accepting than most. He didn’t own slaves and hated slavery in private. His mother owned slaves, and after her death, even though his mother had written in her will that Alexander be given one boy named Ajax, Alex was denied this because of his illegitimate birth. He loathed talking about slavery to ANYONE, even George Washington, who owned more than 100 slaves. As a young man starting out his political career, he published his first major political essay, “A full Vindication of the measures of the Congress,” which drew direct comparisons between enslaved people and colonists oppressed by the British. And in 1779, he championed a plan proposed by his friend John Laurens to arm and enlist enslaved people in the Continental Army-and reward them with their freedom in return. (Washington himself had opposed the idea until the British dangled just such a lure.) “The dictates of humanity and true policy equally interest me in favor of this unfortunate class of men,” Hamilton wrote in an appeal on behalf of Laurens to the Continental Congress. “I have not the least doubt, that the negroes will make very excellent soldiers, with proper management,” Hamilton continued, adding that “their natural faculties are probably as good as ours.” His lobbying, however, failed to win support, and Laurens' plan was sadly abandoned.

      She died a few days before Halloween, surrounded by friends and loved ones. I wasn't there (i live thousands of miles away) but from what i understand, she was conscious until a few minutes before she died. It sounds like she just fell asleep and her body shut down.

The importance of human rights coming from God, not government, as laid out in the Bill of Rights. We see our government taking away our rights. We see our government growing way beyond the enumerated powers of the constitution. They would recognize our country falling into tyranny and they would not be silent.

    It would be interesting to see how the Founding Fathers would react to our modern world. At first, they would likely be appalled and confused by the pace and scale of progress since their time. But being educated and reasonably rational men, they would realize that all of history has been a process of change, whether for good or ill.
    Those who were Masons would have no problem with the layout of Washington DC and use of Masonic symbols in that layout. After all, the man who planned the layout of Washington, DC (in Washington's time, it was called simply "the District of Columbia"), Pierre Charles L' Enfante, was himself a Free Mason. I think some of them would not be particularly happy with the Federal Reserve Bank, since those Founders were adamantly anti-central/state bank.
    As for things which have been invented since their time, I think inventors like Jefferson and Franklin would be shocked, then delighted in learning about them. I rather doubt that Franklin would smash a cellphone thinking that it was "witchcraft". Like many of the Founding Fathers, Franklin was probably a Deist and product of the Age of Reason. I highly doubt that such a man would believe in witches or witchcraft (I did laugh at my mental image of that though). Our modern aircraft might freak them out a bit, since back in the 1770's and 1780's heavier-than-air flight was in its infancy (the Montgolfier brothers made the first balloon flight at Versailles in 1783).
    It would be fun to see their reaction to modern music (pop, hip-hop, rap, techno, etc.) .After all, I'm sure it would be a big shock after the Baroque and Rococo music of their time. I'm sure that things like electric guitars, synthesizers, and electronic organs/ pianos would amaze them, though the volume would sound too loud.
    I believe that many of them would first be shocked at a black person running around freely but when they were told that slavery has been abolished, would be delighted. Both Jefferson and Washington were opposed to slavery (Washington freed all the slaves who were his personal property. He couldn't free his wife's slaves since they were the property of her first husband's husband's estate and thus, he had to say in their being freed. Martha did manumit her slaves, effective January 1801). Jefferson freed only nine slaves in his lifetime, but then, he favoured gradual emancipation and transport to Africa, not immediate manumission.

    I'd expect Franklin and Jefferson to most understand the modern age due to their status as inventors. A similar series with past inventors time traveling to today would be interesting. Da Vinci, Galileo, Copernicus, Newton, Jenner, Franklin, Jefferson, even Tesla, Edison and Marconi would be interesting.

    I dont think washington would like any sort of rave or high octane party, he was known to be incredibly formal and stiff around company. I learned in my art history class that when he was having his portrait painted (the same one used on the dollar bill) the artist, Gilbert Stuart, cracked many jokes and sort of teased Washington during the process. This actually really annoyed Washington and he promptly kicked him out of his house before he could finish the portrait, and it remains unfinished to this day. It's called the Athenaeum Portrait. Fun fact, his wife had one made of her as well!
