4:45 I recently discovered that a widow of a Civil War general passed away in 2020. Apparently she was 19 and he was 91. Not that they had kids, but imagine if they did. Helen Viola Jackson is her name, I think.
@@dankmeme682 If I remember the story correctly she was some sort of a caretaker for him when she was 17 and he offered to marry her so she could get his pension. She never got the pension though because they married in secret and the Civil War veteran's daughters threatened to ruin her reputation if she applied for it.
Thank you for introducing me to all these new channels. Not sure if you saw the one red coat history very interesting. Might be worth you taking a look at.
Have you seen the video titled, "Angry Old Veteran vs. 700 Redcoats"? It's by The Fat Electrician. It covers Samuel Whittemore who fought against the regulars on April 19, 1775.
On the topic of criminal ancestors, I've got a real pair of rotten eggs in my family tree. Frontier river pirates, Micajah "Micky" and Wiley Harpe. They were brutal highwaymen, among a list of several other crimes, as well as Tories. In 1799, Micky was beheaded by frontier vigilates and his noggin was placed on a spike in Webster County, Kentucky near a road still known as Harpe's Head. About 4 years later, Wiley was caught while trying to claim a bounty on the dead leader of their gang, Samuel Mason, after being recognized by a Kentuckian. He was subsequently hanged and as well had his nogging removed and placed on a spike at Natchez Trace as a warning to other bandits. If I remember correctly based on my dad's genealogical research, they weren't direct ancestors thankfully, but rather cousins to my direct ancestor at the time.
4:25 maybe cause I’m from Georgia and we have Georgia studies as one of our classes in middle school. But I’m so surprised that you don’t know Nancy Hart! She is literally the name sake of Hartwell, Ga!
Tadeusz Kosciuszko is another one of those European guys that came over and fought with the US. Also fought in the Polish Russian war and a later Polish uprising. Really a seldom talked about but very important figure for our revolution.
I actually first heard this story on History channel's "Lost stories of the Revolution" (I think that's the name, but it's been a while). The epitome of "I'm not trapped in here with you. You're trapped here with me!".
Here's an interesting connection: During the American Civil War (1861-1865), a group of women in LaGrange, Georgia founded an all-female militia company, which they named the Nancy Harts, to defend the town from the Union Army. Most of the men of fighting age had been drawn off to war.
Hi. I really enjoy your content and how you explain things further. I was hopping you could find the time to watch and react to a really great video about the summary of Latvian history. I know it isn't a country you specialize in so maybe it could be an awesome experience. the video is in old stop-motion animation and has a lot of cool symbolism in its short span of 8:50 minutes. The channel is ''Ansis99", he isn't the real creator of it though, and its plainly called "History of Latvia''. I would be happy to try to write a whole document explaining most of the details in the video, if you plan to watch it. Either ways, LOVE FROM LATVIA!!!!
I don't know if you take suggestions, but I think it would be really interesting to watch your commentary and reaction on the "Empire of Brazil" series by Extra History. It's a really unique independence story, and it seems you like to learn about the history of european royalty.
As a New Englander my favorite Revolutionary heroes tend to be those who fought in the north: Joseph Warren who fought and died at the battle of Bunker Hill. I think he was the one some said could have been President if he had lived. General John Stark, who was also at Bunker Hill. Paul Revere. I read Fischer's book about him. Revere's "midnight ride" was 1% of what he did. He was all over Boston and the east coast. John Paul Jones went above and beyond. The guys who pulled off "The miracle at Dorchester Heights." Etc.
Another great video and to keep with the American revolution theme I recommend Old Britannia. He has videos detailing British foreign policy in the lead up to American revolution(Unsplendid Isolation: British Foreign Policy 1763-1776). And a good companion video explaining the messy process of negotiating an end to the American Revolutionary war(Partitioning an Empire: The End of the American Revolutionary War 1782-1783). He does an amazing job of setting up the greater international context surrounding the beging and end of the American Revolutionary war.
How about private actions in the American Revolution that had an effect on later events? The one that comes to mind is when Thaddeus Pulaski was dying on that field in Georgia. John Cooper, a friend of the fallen Polish cavalry promised that either himself or one of his descendants would fight for Polish independence. After WWI two American pilots organized a group of pilots (American, British and French). These were American fighter ace Cedric Fauntleroy and Cooper’s direct descendant Merian C. Cooper. This was the origin of the Kosciusko Squadron that remains a squadron of the Polish Air Force with RAF 303 the top scoring squadron in the Battle of Britain .
My 8th great grandfather was a colonel on the Tory side. Col Thomas Fletchall. He has a Wikipedia page. Not that that means much lol. It’s just kind of cool to see a family name like that.
I love your content! With the recent release of the Dynasty Warriors Origins game, I went back to watch your reaction to the Oversimplified video of that time. I would love to see a reaction to the Animated Romance of the Three Kingdoms video by Cool History Bros!
Hey VTH, apologies if this has already been asked/requested but do you have any plans to cover Epic History TV's series on Lord Nelson and his battles? They just finished up their 3-part series and the finale with Trafalgar (along with Cape St. Vincent and the Nile). I know how much of an appreciation you have for British history and the Napoleonic Era, so I think it's right up your street.
It was also petty crimes that got you sent to Australia. You could be transported for stealing a loaf of bread. If you committed a serious crime, you were hung.
The more I learn about this war, the more I realize that the revolutionists were in noway fighting for any kind of just or noble cause whatsoever. Sorry for all the Native Americans.
Off Topic. Morgan Freeman narrates the story of 761st tank battalion, the original black Panthers, under Patton. It's on the history channel. Check it out. It's really interesting.
I think the issue is less about having a 50+ year old parent than having a sibling who's 50 years older than you. Which, if your father was a teenage parent, then imagine having a sibling that's been around since your father was 14 or 16
@@lucinae8512 I'm merely putting a theoretical example, that the states are effectively children of the British homeland, but they children are 50 years apart. So I'll try to clarify my theoretical scenario again. Since you were born when your father was 64, imagine if you had a sibling 50 years older than you (in which case your father would be 14). Or perhaps the opposite scenario, where you have a sibling 50 years later, making your father 114. I apologize for not having a clear scenario the first time around.
You misunderstood DoH’s original joke. It was a 50 year old finding out his parents are having another child (50 year age gap between signings). Nothing was said about 50 year olds having a child. And he never said it was wrong, just demonstrated the surprise one would have being in that situation.

To clarify, she was not alive during the Civil War. She married the guy when she was 17 in 1936. James Bolin was 93 when she married him.
@@MyUsualComment ... Why?
@@dankmeme682 Maybe a bad homelife for her and I wonder if she got his benifits when he died? On his side, he likely got a care taker.

12:01 The "did you see that ludicrous display last night" bit is from the show IT Crowd.
Was about to comment the same. 😊

Comedians tend to be quite smart. It takes a lot of brains to write funny jokes.

Savages.
I'll just say this, my favorite hero of the revolutionary war is John Paul Jones
Oh absolutely. Maybe not as accomplished as Nelson but twice as interesting and ten times as nuts.
He's an angel
Amazing bassist too
Amen!
I live a few miles away from where he lived in Scotland. I know there’s a little museum there dedicated to him.

I loved the IT Crowd reference in the video with the "ludicrous display".
congrats on the buckeyes
One of my ancestors was sent to America from Derbyshire England in the 1600s for stealing a pigeon, 7 year’s indentured servitude, love the videos btw
Drawn of History should have so many more subscribers than they have. Such a great channel.
My favorite tombstone line was “ I got 2 guns, one for each of yea “
Did anyone else get hit with a massive curveball when he included that I.T Crowd reference? Absolute classic British comedy.
