The Revolutionary War was fought over three main factors, high taxes, censorship, and firearm confiscation, fast forward to 2024 and those are the same three issues we are facing today!
Censorship and taxation were on the lower end of the spectrum compared to firearms confiscation. Yet all the same the people were being mistreated due to the British Empire trying to retain complete authority over the veterans who had just won the French Indian war.
Taxes not being able to go past the Appalachians military presence and lack off local rule censorship and guns has nothing to with shit the British didn't have the capabilities to go around and block papers and take everybody's guns away but they did confiscate guns from the militia at Concord for obvious reasons not defending the British these are just facts
Wow, that was good. It's like the crash course history videos, but more entertaining and targeted towards a group of individuals who are here watching because they want to. Absolutely phenomenal. I'm looking forward to more.
It’s insane that they consider their dogs to be equal to them, but our dogs are practically worthless. They can waste ours and suffer no repercussions, yet if one of theirs dies it’s considered murder of an officer. What a pile of BS. Those tyrants can go to hell.
Reminder, that maryland is also a southern state based on the mason-dixon line, and would have succeeded during the Civil war if not for federal occupation

"And they beat the shit out of some tax collectors" You have to warn us before you say such beautiful sentences. I'm a man, I'm not allowed to cry, even if they are tears of joy and pride.
The fact that one of the first things they did after the Constitution was signed was kill people over a broadly understood to be unconstitutional tax is still horrifying.
Fuck the federalists. The fact as soon as the founders handed power to others they went to a broadly speaking unconstitutional tax is truly depressing.
I could never get on board with that play about Alexander Hamilton, making him a martyr.... and I knew something about it wasn't right. and I am now validated. thank you.
The revolution wasn’t actually fought over taxation without representation. It was about the British crown stating it had total ( arbitrary ) power over everything in the colonies. The actual fighting started over gun control.
It’s true for the most part but it was also about the unfair amount of taxes that came along with the total control over the colonies. Due to the French American war which majority of the population in the 13 colonies had either fought in or had fathers that did saw that the Crown was mistreating its people. Then came the attempt at removing guns from the population in early 1772 which made it even worse. The British really spat in the faces of their veterans that had won a major decisive victory over the French by imposing unjust laws and taxes for something they started.
Like most things; it's complicated 😊 It's almost a miracle the founding fathers were even able to forge a united nation. They held some radically different positions from each other, and not everybody they claimed to represent even supported them.
@@ThebaconmurdererGeorge Washington started the French and Indian war by trying to kick the French out of a region, getting his ass kicked, and then congrats war. Let’s be truthful that it was about Americans being unrepresented in parliament
Virginia: finish paying off its debt. Boy I sure do love being a large, responsible, and self reliant state. The Newly Formed Government: I am about to end this state’s whole career. *proceeds to make the VA pay more in tax money and then eventually chop it up*
I wish you would have gone into more depth on Washington's shenanigans on raising the army. Washington's circumventing the voluntary militia and drafting a standing army was a huge departure of a critical safeguard against tyranny that both the Federalist and Anti-Federalists proponents wrote and sopke about at length. The idea was if the men didn't think it was a big enough threat to leave their livelyhood to fight then the campaign would be effectively vetoed by those who would be doing the dieing. The ideal plan of the framers went off the rails right from the start.
Sooooo....I have a couple of historical quibbles. 1 - The whiskey excise was not levied "without representation". Before the revolution, yes, American colonists had no representatives in the Parliament that tried to tax them. The British Government tried to claim that the MP represented everyone, thether they were in their particular part of the UK or not, but Americans did not buy that. After all, most if not all the MPs had not so much as set foot in North America, and ant communication had to go by way of the 3000 mile sea voyage at the speed of a sailing ship. In 1790, those same Americans had elected representatives in Congress that they had voted for. Unless you take the position that anything short of direct democracy like classical Athens doesn't count, they were represented. 2 - They were not subsistence farmers. Yes, they grew their own food and built their own homes, but there were still things they wanted and needed that had to be bought. For that they needed to turn a profit. They were businessmen out to make a buck like anyone else. Problem is, there's a bunch of mountains between Allegheny County and the big markets in Phildelphia or Baltimore. That meant the only way to turn a profit was to either turn their crops into whiskey which had enough profit margin to absorb shipping costs, or else feed it to pigs and cattle that could walk across the mountains under their own power. That's why they hated the tax so much - if they had to pay it, it took away their profit margin and they really would be reduced to subsistence farmers. It is also interesting to note that a lot of these settlers were of scottish descent. Scots had long since had it up to here with the English messing with them and their stills.
I want you to know that I watched this piece of art while eating a chocolate PB cake, while occasionally glancing out at my lawn and wondering how to mix alcohol and lawn care.
James Madison, who was the protege of Jefferson and staunchly anti-Hamilton, has some very interesting tidbits in his personal letters. He was the last living founding father and did a fantastic job in trying to steer the country in a very turbulent era.
The birth of a new History RUclips Channel. Good luck to you m8, I support it. Side note, im on my phone and that instagram link took me to the desktop version of RUclips.

I’m from Washington County and every year we have a festival in honor of the Whiskey Rebellion. Unfortunately there’s very little education about the history of these events, which is sad cause our area is extremely saturated in history especially from that time period
Proud to be a long long descendent of one of the rebels from the whiskey rebellion. If anyone’s ever visited Pittsburgh, the story I’ve been told is that Neville island is named after the tax collector, who was chased all the way down to that island from Bower hill.
Keep in mind that Washington agreed with Hamilton about needing a strong federal government. Mostly because it benefited him financially. People like Washington fought in the Revolution because Britain had banned speculating in indigenous lands west of the Appalachians, which was where he had made worked towards making most of his fortune and would later go on to do even more heavily. So in addition to creating a federal reserve Washington and Hamilton used this and the concurrent war with the Northwestern Indian Confederacy to establish the legal principle of a standing army.
Hello my fellow historically literate Americans We gather once again to shit on Hamilton much to the confusion of our fellow Americans who know him as the 10 dollar bill and musical guy

Excited for your new channel! Can I give constructive criticism? Music is teeeeny bit too loud Need to put your face or something in the thumbnail bc I scrolled past it twice in my feed while I was trying to find it Great job otherwise!! Funny and informative 🎉
Thank you for giving me valuable feedback. ❤ I think the fifes in the music are probably too piercing. Also; I’m not sure sure if my face or my logo is more recognizable 🤔 This round I just went for clickbait. But fr thank you.
Ok, so at 2:18, Washington D.C. WAS in a southern state. Washington D.C. was supposed to be a square area that would include both sides of the Potomac River. Virginia ceded some land to create Washington D.C., but revoked the land they had given to Washington D.C. in 1846.
Some inaccuracies here 1. Maryland is south of the Mason Dixon line. In fact when Fort Sumter happened one of the first acts of the Union army was to lockdown Maryland to prevent DC from being isolated . Which is why they didn’t join the rest of the Confederacy. 2. You can call it the western frontier or Western Pennsylvania, but it doesn’t change the fact it’s Pennsylvania which was a state in 1791. So yes they did have representation, but many were not land owners so their is a good argument that they didn’t have representation due to voting rights of the time. 3. Thought you corrected later the revolutionary war wasn’t about paying taxes. It was about taxation without representation. Reference Common Sense by Thomas Paine when he talks about the America Magna Carta, the Declaration of Independence when it speaks of how taxes should only be allowed by representative legislation, etc 4. You keep saying just got done with the Revolutionary War. Our nation took another 8 years after Yorktown to become the USA and this was another 2 year afterwards. 5. For some reason everyone seems to think that the expansion of federal government happened after the constitution. The Constitution to this day is still the biggest expansion of Federal power in a nations history. Hamilton’s debt policy and taxation were more of an extension, not some huge expansion if federal power. Also the national bank and whiskey taxes were not something that Hamilton just snuck in there considering he published the 1st draft of it in Federalist No. 13 in 1787. Also Hamilton wasn’t really a mr Burns. It’s pretty well noted he was a loud mouth jerk. I’m southern and I’m not that big a fan of taxes either, but most of our screwed up policies stem from inaccurate understandings of history.
Worth remembering why the competition came to be to begin with: the failing of the article,especially of confederation. Something wasn’t working and needed to change, and the people of the time accepted that.
To be fair, what is now D.C. did extend into VA to form a perfect square, but when they decided no slavery in the District, VA was like, "Yeah, uh, we'd like our land back. We're... we're not going to do that." And so you have the portion of MD that is the D.C. we know today.
Thank you so much for talking about The Whiskey Rebellion! I’m from Western Pennsylvania and even here some people haven’t even heard of it. Farmers used their corn that was about to go bad to make moonshine, so it was also a way to get rid of bad product and make money out of it.
I learned that we need 2 constitutional amendments: 1) we need to go back to state governors appointing senators. 2) We need to ban the federal government from taxing anyone but state governments... Who would appoint the senators... Who would need to approve the taxes that the states would have to pay... In other words the only taxes the government should be able to collect are the kind of taxes that you are able to make your boss pay while also keeping your job. Fuck taxes.
Please, please, please continue to call these “That Time That Thing Happened” 🖤😂
This one also had the interesting stuff with the people in that place

Gee. Its almost like empowering a distant ruling class with near unlimited power is a bad idea.
Except the problem we have now is that Trump’s 2018 tax cuts let corporations pay 0 taxes, which made them strong enough to price gouge us.

Tar and feathering tax collectors is based.
