There are plenty of gun guys on the Internet and a few very good American history channels. But nobody connects our God-given rights to our national history better than Reid. He is a bona fide patriot.
Ricky, personally I am tired of hearing about these God given rights. Name one God given right that is in the constitution? Did God have an AR-15, did the writers of the constitution have an AR-15, did Thomas Jefferson own an AR-15? No, then what gun rights did God give us? Where are those rights written... I want to read them?
@@johninokla2635 You Really need to look up the definition of the word "Unalienable". You can play semantics all you want. It's a moot point. And if you choose to make the Absurd argument that the framers of the Bill or Rights Did not own "AR-15's. And therefore the 2nd Amendment dose not Apply. Well news flash scooter none of them had Smartphones or Computers. So by your twisted logic. The 1st Amendment should not apply to those either.
@@paulebelmesser2699 , Everyone does the Smartphone or computer thing when talking about the Bill of Rights. I never said anything about the 2nd not applying. I was making the point that there are no God given rights written in the constitution. Any right written in the constitution or Bill of Rights was given to us by the writers of the constitution. Now show me where any of the rights written in the constitution were God given and where they are written. Maybe they were in the commandments Moses destroyed, but I doubt it.
"Times change, mankind does not". A great argument when someone says "the Constitution is outdated". Something based around human rights and human liberty can never be outdated.
bad news pal, you ARE a slave. you are an American tax slave.half your money goes to the government. 1/3 right off the bat. as soon as you get payed, 1/3 is given to the government and you have no say whatsoever. then as you spend the rest, the government takes another piece of your American pie. and dont forget fees and licenses.
@@CyBeRTRoNFLuX i know. And im sick of it. We actually have a president that wants to cut our tax burden. They turn him every time he tries to do something to benefit the American people.
The Pine Tree Flag has always been one of my favorites, and has a history. It references naval ship building in upper New England. White Pines were favored for their strength; and since they were desirable, the crown claimed rights to all the best specimens. These were marked with a broad arrow symbol, and were only allowed to be taken by the crowns agents. There is a great history of resistance in New England where the marked trees were taken and used by the colonists, and broad arrow markings placed on lesser trees. It was probably more important to the colonists than the tax on tea, but is less known in American history.
Thank you Reid. Tons of good info. There's a huge Gadsden flag on Broadway in SoHo, Manhattan hanging from a private citizen's multimillion dollar condo/home. Among the epicenter of liberalism, this flag waves free. I'll have to take a picture and post it because it's beautiful.
By the way, I personally love when you and other "gun guy" channels post philosophy and history videos like this. Guns, gear, etc don't matter much if you don't understand the rights that they exist to defend and the history of others who fought to defend those rights.
There are times when I don’t think we have what it takes anymore. But, there are occasions and events that make me think twice about my previous statement. The confrontation between citizens, some of whom were armed, and Federal officials at the Bundy Ranch incident. I suspect the watershed moment will be when the cowardly, seditious socialists decide to neuter the second amendment and confiscate assault weapons and other firearms. When that day comes, I hope there will be a sufficient number of red-blooded patriots that stand up and make the socialists pay the price.
Mr. Henrichs I want to thank you sir. It is very refreshing to see that there are still people with a higher education that understand history and how it relates to the present as well as the future. I have a bachelors degree in political science and even though I went to a conservative college I still encountered many people how seem to either ignore or misunderstand what this country was founded on. Many of us agree that we have lost many rights and it looks as though we will certainly continue to loose more. To me the real question in front of us is when is enough enough? There obviously was a breaking point back in the 1770s that certainly did not exist in a vacuum. Many things happened leading up to the American War for Independence and the colonist has been loosing rights for the years. How does one decide when it is time to take drastic action?
a rattle snake also lets you know your to close it will start to rattle its tail to let you know death is near if you overstep and infringe the space the snake has giving you.. imo
Hey Reid outstanding video! I was scrolling through your channel and found it. I have pay records for my 9th and 10th great grandfathers fighting in the American Revolution and we have a long history of military service. But I wanted to add the Goliad flag during the Texas Independence that says “Come and take it”. It also is a symbol for us Texans that parallels the Don’t Tread on Me! flag. And we could not have won our independence without a group of boys from Tennessee so Thanks for all you do!
Reid, I have been following your videos for a few years now and I do appreciate these kind as well as the training ones, however, these videos about our founding history take a special place in my heart. For 22 years (active duty) I served as an Army airborne paratrooper and grunt. I retired in 2009 and became an Army JROTC instructor in eastern Kentucky high school; in a very rural and poor county. After a year of doing this duty ( I am still doing it and find it very rewarding, however, my true love has always been law enforcement. I have attended and graduated from Pikes Peak Regional Law Enforcement Academy in 1998 on a re-enlistment option, but the Army dangled a career enhancing duty in front of me and I became a drill sergeant) I realized how little I knew about our Constitution. We have a book that we use to teach American government, our founding and civics. It's titled "Citizenship in American history and government. That did it! I started reading it and had more questions than answers. Then I came upon your video,"A Republic, if you can keep it!" I was totally "all in" and started adding much of what you, WallBuilders, and Pastor Dan Fisher's video here on youtube titled, "Brining back the Black Robed Regiment" I share all of this with my cadets, with a passion as well. I just want to thank you for that. I have noticed, however, that you took down your video, "A Republic, if you can keep it!" or someone has and was wanting to know if you still have an outline of that class. I would LOVE to use it for my class as well as maybe teach others about this. Anyhow, you keep up the good work and maybe one day I can make it down to Tennessee and get some "group therapy" going with you! Until then, take care and God Bless! Sincerely, Thunder 7 (That was my call sign as a platoon sergeant)
Awesome video Reid, your history lessons over the past few years have really sparked my interest in re-learning what I was too ignorant to remember in history courses during school. Your outro really sums it up. plus your interweaving of history in your courses at valor ridge is very impressive and that is definitely your X factor in the industry
Absolutely it is. GOD owes us nothing. But we owe HIM everything. Even our eternal existence. The key to our nation's existence is to be a godly nation, not a greedy, "Me! Me! Me! I! I! I!" kind of nation.
I feel your pain...just know that you must stand strong in your resolve. Those whom cannot do, teach. The statement stings if the person is bitter. Unfortunately that sounds like it is the case. Why else would a personTeach with a hand of hate as most liberals do...its their calling card.
paula davis but the liberal teacher can flunk the student for being unruly, or possibly the teacher can even have the student expelled for the same reason. Sometimes it’s best to pick your battles. Read Sun Tzu.
This is why I follow you Reid. You are a student (really a teacher) of American history. Great stuff brother. Hopefully one day I can go train with you on the ridge.
I love it Reid when you talk history, my favorite part of your channel. I love the other part to but his part gives real meaning to it. You really are a fantastic teacher and I always want more. Thanks for all you do, you are such a asset to our community.
Fantastic video and I love this history lesson, even though it's a while old. You're really good at explaining history in a rather simple straightforward way. It's almost like I'm just striking up a conversation with you asking you to explain stuff.
Mr. Henrich, I'm coming to you late, April of 2022 to be exact but, I'd like to thank you for sharing your knowledge with us on the Symbols of Rebellion. I used to have a Gadson Flag but I gave it to one of my sons. I'm going to get myself another one tomorrow. Thanks again.
I really appreciate the info you share in your videos. I learn new stuff literally EVERY video of yours that I watch. This is an older one, but so currently and indefinitely relevant.
Greetings from Oregon....awesome video. On the 4th of July I decided to add 5 flags, 4 from the revolutionary war. i want my neighbors to know our history and past and what the flags really means.
Good one Reid! It's good to be reminded of the mindsets of our forefathers and of how our country won its freedoms. I like that you had a segment on the pine tree flag. Thank you.
Really like these history oriented videos. Of course we all dig the training/gun vids but the history stuff adds a lot to this channel. Keep them coming please! Also, what would it cost me for you to come set my daughter's history teacher strait? lol
Thanks Reid for such a great video about these flags from American history. I have all of them and fly each one daily. The young people of today must be taught American history since it has been ignored in our modern schools. Keep up on the good videos.
Thank you for providing this video. I remember being taught these in high-school. Unfortunately they are not taught any more and so they are not known about.
Great video! About the Gadsden flag, I hope you don't mind if I also add that the rattlesnake gives you fair warning before it attacks, and I believe its use was intentional for that reason. The flag is also on a yellow background, an international color for caution flags, which is still used on highway signs today. It was definitely a clear warning from people trying to show restraint.
U should do a video series on American history. You said you were a history teacher. Where did you teach? How long did you teach? Love the videos. One day I'd love to get out to a class, just don't have the funds at the moment. Thanks for passing on your knowledge! -BDF-
A belief in God or a creator is not necessary to acknowledge that one has natural rights and inherent Freedom. Not believing in a creator does not mean that one spits on the concepts of freedom and liberty espoused by the founding fathers, but suggests only the source of those rights are different. It matters not whether one believes that the source is Devine or simply due to our own internal belief that freedom and liberty are natural rights due all persons.
BiFuRcAt3D DuPLiCaTuS Way to miss the whole point. I don’t believe in god either. I still believe is basic human rights, especially the rights to self determination and self protection from a tyrannical government which are confirmed by our constitution. Believe what you want, you have the right to.
What an excellent well said video. I just watched this but man I wish today's politicians and lawmakers and courts of the land appreciated our history like this. Then we wouldn't have to worry about the government infringing upon our rights because they would appreciate them enough to leave them the hell alone!
These are brushed over in history classes in Texas today because students have to be prepared for a standardized test. Ironically, that test is produced by a British based company. I can tell you, from years of personal experience dealing with said company reps, they are arrogant and refuse to include such materials. They also mass produce American History textbooks for high schoolers. Outstanding job Reid.
Good stuff Reid. One of the things that drives me crazy is when people rip Thomas Jefferson's quote of "separation of church and state" out of context. I wish more people here in the USA would take time to study the history of our great nation.

Weird how all these documents don't get taught today, or even mentioned. Coincidence, I think not.
Public schooling has definitely taken a toll on the citizenry’s mind. Children today are weak in the mind, spirit, and body.
I’m not, because I believe in heritage.
I've learned more American history from this channel than the 12 years of school. Let that sink in

Thanks Reid! Great video.
So very well spoken. Reid is someone that knows our history and respects what others have done to get us here.
Amen Reid. All these none believers - makes one wonder - is it the turning from God that has our country in such a mess?
