"10 kids isn't too bad."
Me: Wait for it lol
I had no idea what was coming, lol
TFE might be one of the best story tellers of all time!
Nah he’s a close second only to mr ballen
I’d have to agree for my taste, but I come from an enlisted military family so I’m biased. Mr Ballen feels more like he’s from an officer military family lol
As my dad's said often enough, back in the day, farmers grew their own farmhands.
imagine having a grandchild, who is a grandpa/grandma, and their grandchild just had a kid.
Imagine being that kid and going to the hospital to visit Grandpa's Grandpa's Dad and half the city is waiting in line to get in.
What percentage of new Englanders do you think are descendants of this guy?
He's probably the Genghis Khan of Massachusetts.
@@benn454 And he did it all with one woman!
@@brigidtheirishI think it was 2 his first wife died if I remember correctly
@@tfns__omega6122 Point still stands.
Clearly death was too afraid to collect Mr Wittemore because wounds liked the ones he sustained were pretty much lethal back then. He must have not wanted to give up his Sythe to add to the collection of "aquired" items
Nailed it.
"man took down 3 Redcoats at 78 years old. I'm not risking it"
Yo I just looked at the inflation calculator and that 1000 pounds is 250k today
What's 200 pounds as said in the video in which the guy won?
@@superchug2469 54,685 Pounds.
Shit that's a huge increase
Redo your calculations. 1000 pounds was literally a full-on pound of Stirling silver. Now silver's price today is $25.06 per troy ounce and there's 14.583 troy ounces to the pound. Since you cited 1000 pounds that gives us a nice and neat 14,583 troy ounces. So as of today's prices (3/19/2024) that's $365,449.98
@@superchug2469A US Dollar was defined as 371.25 grains (24.057 g) (0.7735 troy ounces) of fine silver which comes out to $19.38 at today's silver prices. So based off the amount Wittemore won in the countersuit, that would be $3,876.78 today.
this man, single handedly not only took on an entire platoon of british soldiers, but also sired enough children to FIELD and platoon of men as well lol. Truely the american patriot
More like a company than a platoon.
In some ways humans are fascinating creatures. On one end you get people who die from essentially a bad jump scare or bee sting etc…..on the other end you get ppl like him who given the period n career should not have made it past 60, then in his 70s gets shot in the head, stabbed with bayonets and beaten…..then just essentially told death itself to fuck off and lived to his mid 90s.
Humans are both incredibly easy and insanely difficult to kill.
There's an entire subgenre called Humans are Space Orcs that basically takes human indestructibility into outer space
I seen ever episode of
SCHOOL HOUSE ROCK
at age 13 Saturday mornings 1973. And if the creators knew more about Samuel Whitmore. They would have changed the magic number to 180.
Never underestimate a old man that plows things. One of my favorite plowing tools is a 2001 XR650R. When Hassayampa wash is dry. Its easy plowing 80 mph lines with a paddle tire from Patton rd to Wickenburg Az. The XR was easy to fix after getting broadsided by a F350.
Eight breaks from hip to ball of foot. Broken elbow ribs. And my SNEL rated helmet had a crack in it. Doc said at my age I'll be lucky to walk again without a cane and so I limp worse some days than others. But Doc said he could not tell when I'm racing on the XR. I owe to riding Desert/Dirt bikes since 1966. Shooting competitions when in the Marines from 1980 to 90 mostly paper. Some scary one's for uncle Sam.
For my inner core strength. Everyone I used to ride with is gone now. But I still have at least one more ride in me. Watch out for each other. My former teammates that crossed the Delaware with Washington may not be near enough to help.
Don't let them take the freedom we fought for. They wont send me anymore. So bring it on Hamas. Because behind every blade of grass. Keep your powder dry.
I'm going plowing.
My great grandfather had 10 kids by his first wife. She died of fever while he was away fighting in the Civil War. Their 10 kids got divided up among her relatives and he didn't get along well with them so we don't have a clue what became of them. After the war, he moved to Kansas, met and married my great grandmother. They had 12 kids. The youngest of them to die was in their 70s. So, he was born in the 1840s, was married twice, had 22 kids (some of which lived into the 1980s), lived into his 90s.
" conjunction junction what's your function "
Apparently plowing was a family tradition!
With no radio, TV or internet let alone electricity, that's about all they had to do to keep busy;
I heard quite a bit of School House Rock when I was in school, mostly when it related to what we were currently learning.
My grandmother was one out of 13 kids in her family.
My grandma was one of 10
4:47 He keeps disappearing from the historical record, because he was just some random British colonist.
I believe Paul Revere is mainly remembered. Because you can still buy REVERE cookware. YEAH! That's the guy.
Glad to see someone actually mention that Paul Revere wasn't the only one who went on a midnight ride. He only is known because his name sounded better in a poem.
Some notes on the Stamp Act to translate it into modern times. The tax rate was one penny per page of loose paper at the low end. There were 240 pennies (or pence) to the pound in those days and at today's silver prices, a pound of silver costs $365.45. So we take $365.45/240 and we get $1.52 in tax per page of paper. It would be like opening up MS Word, typing up 10 pages of rando stuff and never publishing it, you now owe the Crown $15.20 in taxes. If the paper is used for a pamphlet (so something like a video script like the one Fat Electrician wrote for his video), that tax goes up to a shilling per page. There's 20 shillings per pound so now the tax is $18.27 *per page*. And it just keeps going up from there for legal documents.
Land grants under a hundred acres were taxed 1s. 6d (1 shilling, 6 pence or 18 pence which gets us $27.36)., between 100 and 200 acres 2s. ($36.54) , and from 200 to 320 acres 2s. 6d. ($45.60), with an additional 2s 6d. ($45.60)for every additional 320 acres. Papers relating to court proceedings were taxed in amounts varying from 3d. to 10s (3 pence to 10 shillings or $4.56 to $182.70). The highest rate of tax was for attorney licenses at 10 pounds or $3,654.50. All of this is *just for the paper these documents are recorded on*. This is tacked on to all other fees involved. Oh and hard currency only (aka, fork over the gold and silver, no paper money accepted).
To translate this all into modern day terms... Imagine being forced to pay a minimum of $0.76 per *kilobyte* of data you use (a typical sheet of paper holds 2 KB). That would work out to a tax of $760,000 per Gigabyte of data. Is it any wonder the Founders started a war?
Edit: that above figure assumes single-side printing only. If we assume double-sided printing that cuts the tax in half to $380,000 per gigabyte. Still insane.
A point about Dragoons. They aren't cavalry. Dragoons ride horses to the battlefield but they fight on foot. It's the old-timey equivalent to having troops roll up to the battle field in trucks and then get out to fight.
I actually bought the School House Rock DVD because I'm a 56yr. old kid.
Dude my family used to have the entire schoolhouse rock collection on DVD. I loved that song
Having 10 kids? He's a farmer centuries before cable, and they had cold winters.
haha!
Forget "GET OFF MY LAWN!" Old man Wittemore just woke up and said "GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY!" 😂 🇺🇸
That ride was made by 5 people. All in different directions. The young woman that made the ride was a 16 year old, named Sybil. She started her ride at 9 o'clock, rode to Connecticut and even fought off a highway man with a stick. It's a shame we don't hear much about her. One of the reasons Revere is remembered is the direction that the "redcoats" went, was the direction that he rode. If he, indeed waited until midnight to start his ride, he may have gotten further Intel to know which way to go. She may have started earlier because she had further to go and not gotten the further intel.
Was just out on the battlefield last weekend (concord & lexington) also battle road , yes there were a few riders and Paul was captured by the British which had patrols out. there is a monument at the location of where he was captured.
On Lexington Green there is a stone marker with those word inscribe , and the statute he showed is that of Capt. Parker also on the green.
I use to live in Arlington, MA, and have been by that site.
The Fat Electrician is an awesome storyteller and Samuel Wittemore represents the best of the best.
Sybil Ludington is known today as the “female Paul Revere” and while her actions were equally heroic, she was largely forgotten until just over a century after her own midnight ride took place.On April 26, 1777, shortly after Sybil’s 16th birthday, a rider arrived at her home to tell her father that the town of Danbury, Connecticut had been attacked and burned by the British. She rode 40 miles spreading the warning 2x as far as Revere and didn't get captured.
My father was the oldest of ten. There's 2 a boy an a girl who died as babies. Farmers usually had a lot of children to help out on the farm. Ready available and cheap labor
Great set design because it is a flint lock rifle! Perfect for this video
I watched Schoolhouse Rock in the early to mid 70s. I can say for sure that it, among other contributors, added to my patriotic personality. I am 59 now and am glad that I served i in the NAVY. While Schoolhouse Rock by itself didn't prompt me to join, it was certainly a contributing factor.
Back then when it got cold and no TV, you have to stay warm and find something too do. Why not accomplish both at same time? My dad had 9 siblings his dad had 7 and his mom had 12. My mom only had 3 but her dad had 11 and her mom had 8. But my Great, gr, gr grandpa had 2 wives 15 kids that lived in his lifetime. Which explains why my parents are 5th cousins. In a town of 557 and another of 120 people and a few hundred in the woods, l had something over 300 relatives as a kid.
Dragoons is also where the term goons comes from. The goons are the cavalry
Good to see someone else paid attention to schoolhouse rock!
pre-industrial revolution- specifically before the advent of neo-natal medication it was rather common for families to have large amounts of children. The main reason why was because of child mortality rates.
5:58 he mentions the life expectancy was 68 or something, but that number is derived a misleading way, it’s the median of ages taking infant deaths into account because so many infants died shortly after birth or during childbirth. People lived just as long as they can today, only not that many people got past childhood :/
Dragoon was originally used for soldiers who rode horses then usually dismounted to actually fight. Later it was more or less just a type of cavalry.
Key words hun, "Survived Childhood". You'll be surprised what a human can... "survive".
Grandma was one of 13. My mom, myself and my daughter are only children.
I have all of the Schoolhouse Rock videos on DVD.
I think you would enjoy Tasting History's video on medieval mead
I know one of the riders was a 14 yr old girl. Unlike Paul Revere she made her ride and returned. Revere stayed at someone’s home
When i watched this video I felt so much pride as an American?
My dad is the oldest of 7 brothers & sisters
Maybe change the wine for cough syrup
Schoolhouse Rock!!! My favorite was "Conjunction Junction". One HUNDRED and EIGHTY FIVE!! (1 8 5). Sounds to me like everyone in that family had a "Post-Doctoral Degree" in Ploughing!!
When my great grandma was 90 she had 211 descendents.
I worked with 3 guys whose wives quit working after their becoming pregnant. They did this for religious reasons, I don’t remember how many each had but each had between 8-14 kids. They would not take money from the government
I'm a dnd player, you always loot the body.
185÷10 is 18.5 so his kids were popping out kids just as fast as he was
My great grandmother had 14 children
It'd be funny if he had a pig named moo shu
U said survived…. 180 how many didn’t get recorded? More or less your therory…. He was a rabbit and either all of his kids were rabbits too. Or there was many wemon lmao 🤣
10 kids isn't that much. I'm the 9th of the 11 children that my parents had (same mom, same dad).
Proff of time travel
Census every ten years ?
William Dawes was the other one
9:00 this was before the first amendment
No today people have weak skin back then they had short tempers
They taxed you for everything you owned that didn’t have the new tax stamp on it. They also taxed us for the tobacco and cotton that we grew. I thought a British soldier fired the first shot accidentally killing a boy
What you're saying would have made sense after world war II and Vietnam and all those conflicts but the thing about say most likely your grandparents is he may have been one of 10 kids or 12 kids but there's a good chance that the same mother didn't have all those kids and during the time when America started during the revolutionary war people were having pretty good size families but it wouldn't have gotten to the extent of 10 kids unless you were wealthy 10 kids all motherd by the same woman was especially rare because most women at the time sadly wouldn't survive after the 3rd or 4th kid due to medical practices and complications during pregnancy. And plus the 10 kids were actually his kids and he fathered see when you have those big families in the old time you got the picture and it shows all those family members that's usually kids grandkids cousins but he has monster amount of kids with the same questionably his wife is more badass then he is
Huh. That's very interesting.
But yes, agree about his wife being a total GOAT
Actually the same mother gave birth to All 10. Witmore's first wife did die as it's known he got remarried but iirc he didn't have more kids with his new wife
I absolutely enjoy the various Schoolhouse Rock videos and still watch them from time to time.
As before, I recommend to you the Oversimplified channel as he did a good two-part video on the Revolution.
I hope you feel better soon. A pity you've bought into the planned-emic scheme and got a Fauci-Ouchie.
I'm one of 11.
PLOWING
I am one of eight
Still not as gangster as 'mad jack" Churchill, im having some beers and sink one when you cough ❤
Thats another bad ass soldier
definitely badass but nah imo this guy is much more badass mad jack was still quite a young guy and oh yeah had a much longer average life span.
