      Yes, because this video is probably a 100 time more dynamic than your teacher and your history book. And, imho, because it involves storytelling. I did this experiment once when I was in high school. A few months before our final exams, our teacher decided we'd do presentations in twos instead of writing any more tests so we can focus on preparing to the exams more. The topic my friend and I chose was the military actions of our underground army against the occupant (Germany) during WWII. We decided to take on less actions but to deeper about them. So the way I presented the one I chose was I would outline the preparation process and the original plan, including a map of our city (where that action took place), then the action itself in details and how it ended and its consequences. I also made sure to use the participants' codenames and to not spoil events ahead. I included old photographs and documents in my presentation as well.
      I swear I haven't seen our class as quiet and focused during a history lesson that wouldn't be a test for a long time, if at all. Everyone was so invested because it was a fascinating, emotional story unfolding before them and not knowing the outcome (like "so they killed the SS officer but 3 of them died and hundreds of random innocent civilians were shot in blind nazi revenge) made them listen in silence because they didn't want to miss anything. Gotta admit, visiting the newly opened museum of Warsaw Uprising (my high school was in Warsaw, which is the capital city of Poland, in central Europe) was quite inspirational. The museum settles for lots of multimedia, old videos and documents, objects, maps, photographs and drawings and a lot more.
      Tldr make the teaching appealing to students by utilizing modern media, storytelling and connecting dots in front of them (I swear the only two periods I'm somewhat interested in are WWII in Poland and Renaissance in Italy because I am equipped with enough data to connect facts, events and characters) and they'll wanna learn more even in their free time.

    • @asteractor2348
      @asteractor2348 4 года назад +103

      You need to have two parties, it's how politics works, and theres a reason. Imagine an election with three (major) candidates. Party A gets 40% of the votes, and Party B and C each get 30% of the votes. Who wins? Party had the largest amount of voters, but 60% of the voters preferred a different candidate, and voted against the winner.
      The way politics works in modern day democracies isn't actually the best/most efficient way, that is technically ranked lists with 5+ candidates, where you rank them, but that system is far more complicated and by now, would be far too difficult to implement, as people are just used to the current system.
      Edit: I'd like to explain myself further, since about 40 people replied to this. Firstly, I think it's extremely unlikely that any different (aka better) form of voting is implemented in the United States, at least in the next 50 years, because whichever side pushes for it, it will be hated by the other. Other countries have a much better system, like Germany, Brazil, Australia, etc and they all work slightly differently, but are better because the people don't vote on negative cohesion. (This is when people vote for a person even though they dislike them because they dislike them less than the alternative). If anyone reading this is interested in discovering the better forms of voting, scroll down these comments or I highly recommend the videos of CGPGrey, he uses the example of an "Animal Kingdom" and explains the different forms and their advantages/disadvantages, such as ranked/preferential voting, coalitions between parties, etc.

While 2008 was an outlier, due to the worst economic crisis for decades, the state has been edging ever closer these last 12 years. 2012 and 2016 had the Republicans win, 2020 was pretty close. The Dems are retaking the south, with a new coalition of suburban and urban voters, as well as the majority of the minority vote. And I do believe that once Texas goes blue, the Republicans won't stand much of a chance.

      No. America is WAY more divided than it was back then. Why? The simple fact that there's far more divisive topics for America to be divided over! Back then it was just slavery. Off the top of my head I can think of the division between homosexuals and heterosexuals, men-hating feminists and women-hating MGTOWs, those who believe in binary genders and those who believe in the ever increasing gender spectrum, the 1619 group vs the 1776 group, the pro-life group and the pro-choice group, "vaxxers" and "anti-vaxxers", those who support CRT and those who want it gone, religious evangelicals and atheists. If I tried, I could come up with another list that long. Yes, the mid 1860's ARE a joke compared to what America has socially devolved into.

Washington was very much a Federalist in his practice primarily acting on the advisement of people like Federalist Alexander Hamilton and often finding himself in sometimes heated disagreement with Democratic-Republican Thomas Jefferson. It is true to be sure that Washington would not define himself as a Federalist due to his hatred of political parties but ultimately I'd argue his actions as president speak louder than words or party registry (or....lack thereof I suppose.)

And I sort of think he knows what he's doing when he says things like that, you know. He's a very intelligent man, but he's not a saint and he's far from perfect. I could pass a lot of things about Trump, but his arrogance and tone of speech get to me more than what he might actually believe or not believe.

The first ten states to give women the right to vote, in order, are Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho,
    Washington, California, Arizona, Kansas, Oregon, and Montana. In fact some western mid-western - and mid northern states granted them the right before they were even states. So to only show Washington Oregon and California as if only they did it before the national mandate is not factual and biased.

    • @sarahtaylor4264
      @sarahtaylor4264 4 года назад +31

      @@MrElionor The Constitution requires a Republic, which means we vote for people to make decisions their constituents' behalf. Sounds like it meets the definition of a Republic. More specifically, we are a Federal Republic that uses democratic processes. As a voluntary union of states, each state is entitled to meaningful (not perfectly proportional) representation for national affairs. Large states still have more power than small states, but not enough to unilateraly override them. The founding fathers feared what they called tyranny of the mob. It meant that the majority of people would have absolute power over a minority. The House is allotted by population to reflect the majority's interests accurately. The Senate allots two per state so that the minority can then protect their own interests if they strongly disagree with federal legislation. If the majority of Senators approve, then the minority is at least heard. The President is a national issue, so it makes sense to find a medium ground between population and proportional representation. The original 2/3 to pass laws was meant to do that and force political parties to work together. Now it is 51% and most voting is done straight along party lines. I don't see how it is true democracy for each side of the isle to act based on party loyalty rather than the interests of most citizens. The founding fathers came up with a very intricate system of government that works.
      Let's consider a small example. Imagine there are 61 people in total from two groups. A has 31 while B and C have 15. Decisions are made on 51%. If everyone in A votes yes while everyone in the other groups votes no or vice versa for the next 10 years or more all decisions are made A. If every group is nearly evenly split that B and C have no real power even though they are a good chunk of the population respectively. Now imagine they have to pick an inter-group leader. Each group gets a different number of votes based on population, but allots those points based on internal simple majority. A still has way more power to make decisions. It would be even worse if the disparity was larger. Even if both B and C voted for the opposite person it wouldn't matter. I would expect resentment to build if B and C's interests continue to be ignored. Imagine that among hundreds of thousands to millions of people. No group should get want they want 99%+ of the time.
      Another danger of pure democracy is abuse of power. Group A could pass laws that benefit them but hurt Group B and/or C without any consequences. A lack of legal protection and majority rule allowed for things like slavery, Jim Crow, and the Holocaust. It can be a dangerous thing. That is why checks and balances, as well as republicanism, define our government. It makes abuse more difficult.
      Finally, it is not practical to run a country on pure democracy. It would be a beauracratic nightmare and little would get done. We are too complex and large for it on a national level.
      Pure democracy is actually extremely undemocratic in practice. It gives full power to the majority (not always a good thing) and crushes the voices of the minority, which could theoretically be as high as 49%. You are stripping entire states and minority interests of fair representation, which is the means to political power. That results in a dictatorship of the majority. I 100% believe the electoral college is important to keeping us united. Even though part of me would love for a couple of big, highly populated states to control the outcome of elections and hold the legislature If find the idea of that actually happening abhorent. It is a violation of democratic principles and respect for other members of the republic. I hope you are not an opportunist hiding behind pure democracy as a shield to push your own agenda and silence the group of people who oppose it. That is not morally acceptable.
      I would encourage you to look into the Federalist Papers. It examines why the founding fathers made their decisions. Also, please do some research about real examples of and experiments with pure democracy. It typically doesn't work out well. I know I have likely not changed your mind, but I hope I this was a decent explanation of an opposing viewpoint. This stuff matters because it affects everyone in this country. I do want democracy and the best way for us to acheive it is with republicanism that balances majority and minority interests.

And they forget to mention that the time period was different and because of that some people saw slavery as just a normal thing. I mean think about all the stuff that we're thinking right now that people 300 years from now would think is so wrong, but we don't. And even though it was a different time, the founding fathers were some of the first people to have conflicting thoughts on the matter. With George Washington getting rid of his slaves after his wife died. And Thomas Jefferson originally abolitioned slavery in the original constitution I think is what it was, but knew that the southern states would NEVER join the country if they did, and they couldn't risk that at the time because of how big their economic troubles were. So he took it out of the draft, and honestly saved America, even if we had to fight a war a hundred years later
