I agree with the many recurring comments: if so-called educators taught like Lance and The History Guy Team (THG), America's secondary students would graduate far more capable and aware of history, and more critical of those doomed to repeat it.
My ancestors were members of the PA 116th Volunteers. A dear friend of mine, his ancestors wore the grey. We always laugh -“Damn good thing our ancestors couldn’t handle a musket, otherwise we wouldn’t be here!”
Was stationed in Charleston on USS Semmes DDG 18 1983-84. Was stationed in Norfolk for 14 years at Fleet Combat Training Center Atlantic Dam Neck Operations Specialist A School twice, USS Whidbey Island LSD 41 1993-96, Fleet Information Warfare Center Little Creek Amphibious Base 1999-2000 and USS Wasp LHD 1 2000-03.
I can only wonder just how large the classes would be, if history was taught in school, like this. I would make a small wager that there would be zero failing grades too. No matter the major historical story, it's the smaller stories, like this one, within the bigger one that truly makes history interesting. ;-)
Another good but rainy morning from CT, classmates! Thanks for all the greetings and Thumbs ups you all sent Monday to this student from a small state!
I’ve met John Quarstein before many years ago when I worked for the Newport News Fire Department. The Mariners Museum is a wonderful place to visit and I highly recommend it to any of your viewers visiting the area.
Greetings from England,all your videos are well presented and researched and never fail to be entertaining and I never fail to learn something from all of them,keep up the good work.
Thank you THG. Great presentation! Please do another story about the CSS Shenandoah, the ship that fired the "Last Shot" and wrecked the Union whaling fleet in the North Pacific Ocean. What a story.
Thank you, THG for this concise and informative episode from the ACW. There are so many tales to tell from the war that are not known or understood by the modern public. You use all a great service.
Confederate steamship! Was not aware of this! The iron clads got a lot of the Naval attention from the Civil War. Thanks for sharing this fascinating bit of Naval history. 👍
Excellent as always. Since we seem to be on a warship kick and Im sure this is a subject near and dear to your heart, may I suggest a video discussing the three USS Illinois Battleships. The one that never was, the one that was for 58 years, and the one that almost was. Fascinating stories all. Keep up the good work.
Thanks History Guy! It was a pleasant surprise to see your work on Net flicks The Unexplained with William Shatner. I highly recommend everyone check it out!
What ever ended up happening to the little English boy, who hopped onboard the join the Confederate Army? Boy, I wonder how long it took for him to realize just what exactly he had bargained for; and to kick himself, asking, “Just what the holy hell was I thinking!?”
As no other country recognized the Confederacy as a county, the Nashville could not have been a privateer. The definition of privateer is "an armed ship owned and officered by private individuals holding a government commission and authorized for use in war, especially in the capture of enemy merchant shipping." As no country recognized the Confederacy, there was no government to back the paperwork. So... pirates they were.
Wow spectacular job Brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventures through time and history GOD-BLESS brother to you and your family hello from romulus Michigan
As much as I love these small lectures. These are just interesting stories in the end. I guess I would rather have classes packed full of chemists and engineers etc.
Point of Order Sir! A Privateer is NOT a Pirate ! They operate with a 'Comission'. Now I know you American's don't like that, after all my forebears in Jersey were Privateers, but you encouraged the French to set on us, on January 6th 1781, and we all know (Thanks to you) where that went. But like CSS Nashville, they were not Pirates. If any Pirates are involved it is the San Jacinto.
I have discussed the distinction in other episodes. A letter of marque doesn’t really change that you are taking ships on the high seas. While it might make a difference in court, even most privateers think of themselves as pirates, as do, most often, those they raid. As I am not charging anyone in a court of law, I feel that it is not unreasonable to make the claim, as, in fact, newspapers did at the time. Note that the 1854 declaration of Paris eliminated the distinction. American privateers during the US Civil War were pirates by European law. Certainly some described San Jacinto’s act as piracy. It is an interesting claim for the UK to make given their actions in 1812, but the dispute was answered via diplomacy.

Back when I went to school- lo, these many years ago- history WAS taught like this.
My minor in history resulted from a professor very much like the History Guy.
Try to get a room full of 13 14 year old's to listen to an hour of this. Then test them on it good luck.
Another good but rainy morning from CT, classmates! Thanks for all the greetings and Thumbs ups you all sent Monday to this student from a small state!
Of all the classes in school, history is the only one I have continued all my life. Thanks!
Same here. 👍
Subscribed for 4 years and still loving every video!

The craftsmanship to construct such a massive ship with the technology of its time is amazing.
Greetings from England,all your videos are well presented and researched and never fail to be entertaining and I never fail to learn something from all of them,keep up the good work.

Last shots of the American Civil War and the CSS Shenandoah. Updated episode.

This is the first time I heard of a U.S. ship with the prefix of “USMS”.
Excellent as always.

He was 20, so not “little.” He ended up a captain in the Confederate navy.
@@TheHistoryGuyChannel: My mistake. I guess I became distracted by his onboard rating, “Landsman, or boy”.
December 20th is my birthday. My south carolina history professor still calls me on that day every year.
You are always the best! Thanks for your educational stories.
Interesting history, thank you!
I think The History Guy would have a great take on the adventures of confederate raider Raphael Semmes! He of the famous captain of the Alabama.
As no other country recognized the Confederacy as a county, the Nashville could not have been a privateer. The definition of privateer is "an armed ship owned and officered by private individuals holding a government commission and authorized for use in war, especially in the capture of enemy merchant shipping." As no country recognized the Confederacy, there was no government to back the paperwork. So... pirates they were.
Another entertaining and informative video

What a great historical story! Thanks.
Another excellent account of history sir. Thank you!
Living just 20 minutes away, You caught me by surprise saying Morehead City. Its cool to learn what happened in the area you live.
great story, thanks
The attack of the CSS Florida by the USS Wachusett might make a good story.
Thanks for mentioning that bit about slavery. It cannot be denied. Anyway, a terrific and fascinating naval THG!
Happy Hump Day fellow students. Class is about to begin. Please be seated.
Happier than a Camel on Wednesday!
Hump Daaaaay!
THANK YOU

We didn't domesticate cats, they domesticated us. And by "domesticated", I mean they finessed us into taking care of their every need.
Nice

I would contribute, but my finances require that i comment only. Well done Donald.
Hey Playboy ,🤓 right now I am eating some Nashville style ribs ! You go Jinxy ! Thats Spooky!
Whatever your views on the great secession, those were brave men.
Neat.
Definitely a Pirate ship! They should have flown the Skull and Cross swords on a black flag!
