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

They were probably still on stone weight measurement. Thats a bucket of confusion to the modern mind.

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.
"And who would be our closest ally today, Mr President?"
"That would probably be the British, at least if we talk about Europe"
"...Excuse me what-"
Hamilton's fault
Hilarity aside, seeing how enemies of the past have become close allies by today is always a gratifying sight in these historical comparisons.
@Fychf fuck off thisnt even about religion
Jefferson at once being fascinated by memes (a form of popular expression) and having a terrible sense of humour make this video wildly accurate.
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.
“Memes, the DNA of the soul.”
The memes, Jeff!
They would think, "Why is everyone in their underclothes?" Especially the women.
Some of the founding fathers living to see the 1810's so they might not be as shocked as you'd think, neoclassical sleeveless gowns were pretty common for women at that time. However seeing everyone in gym shorts and t-shirts would be shocking.
Why are brown people allowed? lol
Ben Franklin would like that
Then he goes back to his friends "guys guys women here are so easy. You dont need to marry them. And they think that sleeping with you on second date instead of first date dont make them a slouth 😂😂 its paradise 😂

Of all the founders I do believe Thomas Jefferson would adjust quickly. He was wide and deeply read, experimented in agriculture and open to new ideas. Following up on him would be Benjamin Franklin.
I don't think he'd be too happy to find out pedophila and slavery is illegal in the United States now.

So, would someone from our time be arrested in 200 years if they time travelled?
@Mialisus "Laws are not reversible." Try telling that to prohibitionists that witnessed Congress passing the 21st amendment. Culture is relative and the moral/lawful code of the 23rd century will be related (perhaps), but also quite different.

Great job, loved it. My Grandfather was born in 1884 and lived to be in his mid 90's and would tell stories about his old Civil War buddies he worked in the coal mines with. I was in my mid 30's when he died. See, your right, just a few generations ago.

Jefferson originally talked shit about slavery in the deceleration of independence but they had to take it out because they feared the south wouldn’t agree and they didn’t want to start a argument.
This is one of those things that I'd love to see a movie about, no lie. It could be a serious drama about these men coming to terms with the progress and faults of the country they created, or a comedy, (or a bit of both).
This isn’t exactly it, but there’s a movie like this but with Hitler. (Look Who’s Back)
Washington and Hamilton get into a huge argument about who's more important based on their pictures being on the $1 and $10 dollar bills.

I liked how Jefferson’s first instinct was to immediately punch Hamilton.
I thought that would be Burr’s job! 😂
Its just pure instinct for Jefferson now
Bruh
Sorry I have not that much knowledge about US history but can someone explain me why jefferson would punch hamilton?
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.
Now I wonder how would Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu from Japanese history would react to the modern world.
Feel like Tokugawa would probably have a field day with modern Japan, especially with the western stuff in there
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.
imagine what they'd think of anime
As aghast as they'd be over foreign influences exerted on Japan throughout history, I wonder if they'd feel at least a little pride at seeing how Japan has projected immense influence back on the world.
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?
they'd pull a mishima
I love finding these videos from 2020. Everyone really thinking about and making things they likely never would have made otherwise

Adams and Franklin: Oh no.
Jefferson: Not again
Baguette well Adams and Franklin were mentioned a couple of times, but I guess I understand lol
Thomas Jefferson: "Why be my slave playing me? Bloody murder!"
One of the founding fathers had a vision about the future of America, he wrote in his journal Somthing about having a Birds Eye view and seeing large city light’s throughout the land as far as he could see, he wrote some other stuff but I don’t remember what it was about
Did he see purple guy
Founding fathers: "Wait, you mean to tell me you wait for the girl to be 18 before marrying her?"
Modern American: "Okay groomer."
Of course,gentlemen..But most women who grew up age 20 and up are quite better.
You'll be a pedophile in a few decades, lol.
Lots of people support raising the age of adulthood to 18, it only worsens the problem for future generations, instead of raising more mature children.

Great, now I want a sitcom where John Adams and George Washington live together in an apartment in the modern day.
@@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.
Followed by an episode where Ben Franklin buys out OnlyFans and starts making a killing.

@@yourmother3126 His best friend/lover was an abolitionist so I don’t think he would care if he wasn’t played by a white person.
@@yourmother3126 Since Alexander has been known as a self-loving person/bordering on Narcissist, I doubt he would care. 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.

My grandmother is still alive but in her death bed. She had a neighbor when she was little who was a surviver of the donner party. She presumably met Sarah Keys. The first member of the donner party to die. Sarah was born in 1776. So you can say that i know someone who knew someone who met someone who was alive at the time of the revolution. And that's right now.
And she passed away shortly after i made the above comment. May she rest in peace from her long and eventful life.

I appreciate that. I've lost many loved ones in life, and a lesson hard learned from that is to never leave any unfinished business. And i made sure of that with my grandmother. So it went as smoothly and easily as losing a loved one can.
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. I spoke with her by video call a few days before she passed. She was happy as a clown.

These men were quite insightful. After the constitution was approved Benjamin Franklin was asked what kind of government had been adopted. According to the story he said "a republic if you can keep it". They recognized how important it was to limit the power and scope of the federal government. 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.
slavery.
Absolutely true.
Whatever kind of rule it is YOU want, I’m certain they’d be looking for something far better. Quit imprinting your values based on the words of a bunch of dead guys from a time you cannot even conceive. And don’t forget that their actions too were a product of their times. It is only reasonable to view the present circumstances and judge them according to the present, and my judgement is that those you almost certainly place faith in are just as corrupt and immoral as those you oppose.
Not insightful enough to end slavery. They literally had the perfect opportunity while forming the country. They instead decided to expand what the British had started.
This country was falling into tyranny from the very start you know. Well according to the opposition
Might go something like this:
“Whoa, this is WAYY better than a musket!”
“You pay WHAT in taxes?”
“Wait, you’re telling me you can press a few buttons, and anything you want will be magically delivered to your house?”

Admittedly Jefferson was against slavery. He just didn't care enough to free even his slaves. In a sense, he was very much like those people who go along with shit they don't like in society because "everyone is doing it".
Antonio SCENDRATE GATTICO This is a lie, the reason Jefferson didn’t free his slaves is because he legally couldn’t. Later in life he technically didn’t even own them due to his debt, the bank did.

They would be horrified that we did it, but probably would be willing to forgive it because we did end up liberating it and gave them their independence as promised before WWII.

I firmly believe that, if our founding fathers were to somehow pay us a visit, they would take a good long look around, and start a revolution.
It wouldn’t take a long look

#history is king
George Washington: Can’t wait to visit all 13 states
Fire of Learning: Actually Mr. President, there 50 states now, there’s one even named after you...
George Washington: 😮😮😮
He never even got to see the CITY named after him, though he did lay the cornerstone of the Capitol, so he was basically a visitor to a giant construction site.
I mean considering it was suggested he become king, he probably wouldn't be surprised. Probably annoyed that he was made into a personality cult though.
I bet his face will be real happy when he finds out Washington is one of the worse places in America with riot after riot and washington dc not even helping, dont think most men back even cared about something being named after them anyways.
@Hoàng Nguyên I don't know about Washington specifically, but a lot of early presidents and founding fathers had no qualms about conquering native land. Although treaty violation would definately be more of an issue.
"So there's a Washington, and Washington DC... and they are at opposite ends of the country?"

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 just can't help but imagine how Thomas Jefferson would lose his mind at a free black man playing him in Hamilton.
that show is terrible
They would also realise how historically inaccurate it is
"WHOMST THE FOCK IS THAT??"

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!

Imagine the founding fathers finding out there’s a musical about them and a bunch of theatre kids are shipping them together.
I think it's weird to ship real life people. There's nothing weird if they're fictional, but these are people with feelings, I'd feel so uncomfortable.
@@SM-qv2om yeah it is. But since they’ve been dead for ~200 years, it feels like we’re not bothering anyone. Also, Hamilton fans tend to disassociate the real Founding Fathers, so yeah. But shipping real people that *recently* died, or (even worse) *are still alive,* is downright creepy.
@@SM-qv2om if they came back to life though, the shipping would need to stop.
