Fun fact: the Quaker Oats company wasn't actually founded by or associated with the Quakers, but used their image to seem trustworthy and wholesome. Unfortunately, the logo causes a lot of people to confuse them with the Amish.
:) I am a Quaker. I also wear a lot of de-glow, neon, and insanely bright/patterned clothing. Often times when religion comes up, and I tell people I identify as a Quaker they become confused. "HOW are you wearing those mauve leather-trimmed booty-shorts?" they exclaim in shock. I tell them that I am not an oat container.
John! I'll never forget the first time I took a flight from east to west coast with a window seat on a cloudless day, the whole experience of continental volume comprehension deeply changed me for good! You're beginning to give me that same sensation with your fun vast cloudless comprehension of our national history to peer through! Thank You!
I have my AP U.S. History test in 3 weeks. I've mastered everything past the mid 1700s and I'm even tutoring the students in regular and honors classes. These videos are helping me remember so many things, it's amazing. I love you CrashCourse!
I'm still so glad you talked about Quakers! I don't hear much about our history outside of my meeting. What I "learned" in school was brief and unbelievably inaccurate, and I often had to correct my teachers that Quakers are still around, and we are not now nor have we ever been puritans... not even close.
I remember reading about the Quakers on my fifth grade history textbook and I really like them for some reason, this is one of the few history lessons that i actually enjoyed and was sad that we didn't talk about it that much
Believe in yourself. I do too and I wish the both of us the best luck. Getting the most sleep and the best nutrition is more important than cramming all the information into your head last second.
Some may think this is weird, but I sing along to the CrashCourse theme song every. Single. Time. It's really catchy just like the Doctor Who theme song.
Fascinating. You're very right that this era of history often gets overlooked because it isn't quite "American" yet. But understanding the colonial period is essential for understanding the political mindset of the later revolutionaries. Thanks for being so through, and willing to break new ground.
My dumb ADD brain refuses to focus on trying to read the incredibly dry textbooks my teacher gives us and then forces us to take quizzes on. So thank you CrashCourse for still, almost 11 years later, being the reason I'm gonna pass my APUSH class.
I think the Dutch must be taught this in school? But it is not really true. After New Amsterdam became English, the Dutch kicked the English out of Suriname in the Dutch/Anglo War, and the English tried to give New Amsterdam back to the Dutch in the treaty negotiation in exchange for part of the sugar colonies, but the Dutch declined. So basically: The Dutch won Suriname from the English. The English offered New Amsterdam back to the Dutch. The Dutch declined. -John
I graduated in 2016. I’ve been out of school for three years. I decided on the 27th of December to go to college. I don’t remember how to school. This series is going to save my life.
And Albany New York was formerly called Beverwyck. Beverwijk is actually a small city in the Netherlands, Harlem is named after the Dutch City Haarlem.... and Brooklyn is named after the dutch town Breukelen. We have a lot in common my american friends.
+VeniVidiAjax Beverwijck hasnot necessarily something to do with Beverwijk in Holland. In New Netherlands the colonists hunted on Beavers and they traded their fur. So hence the name Beverwijck (if you look to the NY City flag you can see Beavers). But the name Beverwijk in Holland comes from Bedevaartswijk;, meaning pilgrimage neighbourhood. Some other funny facts: - Brooklyns official motto is Eendraght maeckt maght (old Dutch for: in unity, there is strenght) - The English colonists noticed that most common Dutch names were Jan and Kees, so they called the dutch the Jan-Kezen = Yankees - Americans use the word cookie (koekje) instead of biscuit. And dollar comes from daler (old Dutch coin)
+Sjurm94 Dolar actually comes from the american revolution, that was mostly financed by spain (although no one recognises it). The spanish coin was composed of two columns, representing cape finisterre in Galicia, northwest Spain and Melilla in northern Africa. This two places were thought to be the end of the world until Columbus voyage. Between the columns there was a band with PLUS ULTRA written on it, which means further away. The band had an S shape making the coin look like the dollar we know now
Thank you for your closing statement. "Those small scale dramas can be found in abundance." It's always these small stories and hardships that when you read them, truly put your in their shoes for a moment... for who could fill a King's shoes, but a King.
Or they're busy students who only have so much time in this particular period of life to devote to studying certain niches of knowledge, and are already going above and beyond the minimum preparation for academic success by seeking out Crash Course videos. Try not assuming everyone whose priorities are different than yours is wrong.
I really enjoyed most of the contents here its really funny and also helps me learning new stuff. We watch the videos all the time in our US history class.
I read in my US History textbook that Georgia was founded as the protective buffer between the more important northern English colonies against the French in Louisiana and the Spanish in Florida, not South Carolina, as you mentioned
+Abhi-Wan Kenobi South and North Carolina were both massively rich colonies. Their success in rice cultivation through experienced slaves generated revenue that few other colonies could match. Georgia, which was the last Royal Colony, was basically a big colony of ex-cons that were there to growl at the unruly Natives and Spanish in Florida if they got to close to the cash flow of the English Carolinas.
Me, too. I guess it was a joke...just like he always disses Canada, which he must surely admire, seeing as it is a much more liberal nation than the US.
Karl Kemp-O'Brien Two things about history John doesn't like: Eurocentrism and "great men". British history is pretty much Eurocentrism + learning about important kings and queens(great men).
Just discovered the captions and there's some great commentary. I like the They Might Be Giants reference and laughed because I had just finished reading The Witch of Blackbird Pond. Also, Oregon Trail FTW.
So I've just gone through the first 3 episodes of this playlist and started this one, and while it is highly educational, I have one major complaint. The eagle cry in the theme sound sounds exactly like that which I have for my phone and every time I listen to it I mistakenly look to my phone, thinking it is ringing. I am confident that you, the team behind this great channel, recognize just how severe a problem this is and will act quickly and studiously to correct it. (That was a joke.)
This is wonderful, I'm creating a history lesson about the colonial era for a home schooled student and I realized I don't know anything about the era. I love how you boil it down.
Obviously, "prayers" is a joke. That is why is it listed LAST after real study methods. I can only hope your comment is just a continuation of that joke and not mean-spirited.
10 min: "history is much more than life of kings .. and rebels .... the real story of history is about regular people trying to take care of their families and not die" GREAT WORDS!
+Claire Anderson As I am not from America (and I assume you are) what is an APUSH exam? Do you have it once a year? Or is APUSH a class? Or is it like the A-Levels?
APUSH is an "Advanced Placement" class. It's available in highschool, and if you pass the exam, it counts as 6 hours of credit in college. Doing good on the exam basically can save you $12,000.
***** They did... The Dutch were a great naval power back then, not only with the Dutch East India Company but in general. Holland and Brittain fought plenty of wars over the years, and it wasn't as one-sided as you think. Though war with Brittain wasn't favourable, Dutch power wasn't as feeble back then that they'd give up a profitable colony without a fight. The British wanted to control North America, so they gave a fertile piece of land in South America with all the sugar and spices you could wish for in return for New Amsterdam, thus preventing war. Dumbest trade ever offcourse, but back then it seemed like a good deal.
NiekGAE Well, the Dutch indeed were a naval great power back then but they much prefered their East Indian trade empire where they made insane amounts of money on spices like nutmeg. The West Indies weren't as lucrative. Compared to the English colonial posessions in the Americas, the Dutch couldn't compete locally (especially during the Third Anglo-Dutch war when also the French and a few German states declared war on the Dutch republic). By the time the English took over half of the Dutch colony spoke English, both north and south of the colony there were English colonies And in the Republic there hardly was any interest to migrate (there was enough profit to gain in old Amsterdam). North America was quickly sacrificed for the much more lucrative Caribbeans where they could have plantations and slaves...
gunterke Oh yes, don't get me wrong the English definately had the upper hand in North America. I just think Job Heger's comment signalled he didn't know the Netherlands were ever a force to be reckoned with. By the way I looked around a bit and as it turns out, New Amsterdam was captured by the English at the start of the second Anglo-Dutch war. The Dutch then captured Suriname. In the third Anglo-Dutch war the Dutch reoccupied New York/New Amsterdam. After the wars, which the Dutch both won, they were allowed to keep New Amsterdam if the Dutch were allowed to keep Surinam and some other small island. So it wasn't the peacefull trade I had in mind after all. Funny, I knew about the Raid on the Medway and all (or Journey to Chatham as we Dutch call it, funny example of how opposite sides view history) but I never knew what changes that war made to the modern world.
So John saying British history was boring actually made me sad... my love for british history may in fact be slightly too passionate. But, in my defence, it's so interesting I love British history its great!
Interesting fact. When the Dutch controlled Manhattan they also controlled 9 of the 10 islands (all in the pacific) where nutmeg could be grown. England controlled the other one. Wanting a monopoly on nutmeg (incredibly rare at the time and so a great commodity) the Dutch invaded the final Island and forced the English people out. The dutch comprehensively beat the English in a small battle (can't remember the details) as the islands were far away from Europe and the British were vastly outnumbered (by roughly 9 to 1). To prevent war the Dutch offered England compensation in the way of a much less valuable (at the time) island: Manhattan.
The english didn't sail into new amsterdam and askes for the colony. In 1643 the english where at the edge of losing the third anglo dutch war so they sugested a casefire(the treathy of breda). In the treaty was that that the english would have new amsterdam from the dutch and the dutch have surinam from the british if they accapted there would be peace the dutch did and echanched the colonys.
Make sure you read the captions (CC). Especially around 2:27-2:37. EDIT: just keep it on for the whole video with your hand on the spacebar/finger on the pause button.
as a Quaker, I would like to counterbalance this positive coverage by noting that Quakers were also involved with indigenous residential schools later on in U.S. history
Taz B It’s only the bad areas with the drug problems. You have your weed smokers and some small drug problems in the high schools, (but what high school doesn’t)? it’s the bad areas like West Orange that give New Jersey a bad rep.

The English actually did pay for New Amsterdam. They traded it for Suriname.

They had a choice. Both parties had the same financial difficulties to this war, so it ended with this treaty.
