Is anyone going to talk about how awesome it is that he got a 3 on the APUSH exam, but now is MAKING HISTORY VIDEOS FOR PEOPLE, AND MANY ARE USING THEM TO PASS THEIR OWN EXAMS!!! 👏👏👏
He may have gotten a 3, but that was decades ago. Remember: just because you take a test now doesn't mean you are done learning or that you can never become smarter than you are now. Don't let a test hold you back from trying to learn more. Even if you don't perform as well as you'd like, you are and can still be an intelligent person. Never give up! Never surrender!
Funny that you would mention the AP US history test; I have to take it tomorrow and have been watching these videos for review. When the test was mentioned, I had a momentary panic attack that I was being directly spoken to through the video.....
i just want to say as a mormon you nailed that without a trace of ignorance, and you noted the LDS what we prefer to be called, love your show so much!!!! keep it up.
I was so relieved to see your factual and unbiased account of the LDS church... when I learn about 19th century US history I always wince in anticipation of what people will say about Mormons. Thanks for the great job!
Dear John Green, I feel a common link to you because we both live in Indiana. I remember my "Indiana History" contain the story of Pigeon Forge (which I don't remember) and a not so clever anecdote about where the name "Hoosier" came from. So, how 'bout a 50 part series on state history. 49 if you really do have something against Alaska. Thanks, Beth
I Strongly, Strongly agree with this. I would LOVE to learn about all fifty states history, and I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to learn all of it from you. Because you're amazing.
He may have issues doing an unbias version of New Jersey as well, though I know next to nothing about what the issue is with New Jersey. It would be nice to hear him explain.
Now if only the LDS church honestly admited that there is no linguistic, genetic or cultural similarities between native Americans and the middle east of the same era.
Gall I was scared when I saw Joseph Smith on the blackboard, but thank you so much for getting everything right!! Quite a breath of fresh air when people not part of our church use facts instead of bias :)
+Duke of Pants You probably should tell John that because he sure takes every chance he gets to espouse his neo-progressive ideology. He has mentioned the wage gap, patriarchy, and white male privilege as examples.
Chloe Coombs I clicked on this video because it seemed interesting and I love learning about religions and then I saw my boy Joseph Smith back there and I was so excited wow
I was so grateful to see that you got the name and general description of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints RIGHT. My religion is important to me, as people's religions tend to be, and I love seeing when people are respectful of others' beliefs. Thank you for being respectful and stating the facts. As always, I really respect your fair and balanced treatment of history. Thank you so much.
As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS), I was terrified when I saw Joseph Smith's picture on the board. Thank you for being accurate and non-disparaging. It sucks when people you like make fun of your religion in this sort of forum. Y'all are awesome and I love watching your videos.
Yeh, people don't really make fun of the Mormon faith or even John Smith. They make fun of the stereotypes that are rooted in the extreme practices that the vast majority of the Mormon faith now shun, including polygamy but even then the practice is becoming more and more tolerated. (which btw, I'm not a Mormon, but I do practice polyamory.)
1. Polygamy is not a Mormon exclusive practice, nor did it originate there. It has been practiced by many cultures over many centuries, pretty much dating back to human civilization. Early Christianity it was an acceptable practice, as well as early Judaism. 2. Polyamory is similar to polygamy, but it is not Mormon. It is simply the practice of having multiple love, multiple marriages. It is not limited to a patriarchal or matriarchal dominated dynamic. It can differ from dynamic to dynamic, but the most common theme that is part of the practice is acceptance by all and equality. Those that practice it have their own group of people that they practice it with and tend to be exclusive to each other, but are open to others joining if all in the group do accept them. It is not a "free" circle of people though, usually a chain of people.
I totally agree, I am an atheist and I am honestly kind of frustrated by the bizarre insults aimed at the Mormon community based upon stereotypes. I don't live in a very Mormon area, it's mostly Catholic, so to my recollection I have only met 3 Mormon people in my entire life, but they were all the nicest and most friendly people I have ever met, I'm rooting for you guys!
California's Prop 8 ... no respect for LDS (and black Baptists et. al.) over here. New religious movements, post-Enlightenment, are inherently ridiculous in any case.
David Walker was an awesome man in the way of the abolition movement. He was one of the first to call for the slaves to stand up for themselves if no one would help them and inspired Douglas an other abolition leaders who were after his time! I should mention I'm doing a 5 page essay on him, but he's still a great guy!
John, thank you for how cleanly you discusses the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Everything you said was straight forward and factual. Your unbiased statements and acceptance of others reminds me once again. You are awesome!
I felt the same when he covered Islam. He knows how much certain things mean to people, and has done a wonderful job of being respectful to various perspectives.
No question here. I just want to thamk you for bringing such an entertaining and informative series to youtube. Though youtube is not without numerous fast paced semi-educational programming of sorts, Crash Course is with out a doubt the best in my eyes. Since my discovery of your channel 3 weeks ago I have managed to watch nearly every episode while either on my phone, on my computer at work (I know i know bad me) and the most amazing I watch on my xbox instead of playing call of duty lol thanx
Thank you for speaking about my religion--my chosen lifestyle--with respect and accuracy. The inaccurate and snide remarks get a little old, so I appreciate your decorum. Thank you.
Herman Melville was a pre-civil war author, Moby Dick (1951) is one of American Literature greats, but I guess it was dedicated to Nathaniel Hawthorne so we can take a mark off for that.
Definitely going to continue watching this series despite the AP test being over. It went very well and I think/hope I got a 4 maybe a 5. Thanks John Green!!
Thank You so much! Apush test is tomorrow, but this has helped me study so much over the past couple months, great source of knowledge and note taking! You guys are the one true savors of Apush.
I love your videos! Thank you for showing the religious side of history. Most textbooks and teachers will avoid it and try to get rid of all religion. It may show events, but it'd never tell why. I learned more from your videos than I did from my history class.
If John Green got a 3 on the APUSH exam then I'm screwed. It's a miracle that I even got a 3 on the AP world exam last year. I literally don't even have the slightest idea how because I bsed it and didn't know like any of the multiple choice.
+Reaper Kira yeah that part has made itself obvious via my constant thoughts of jumping off a bridge because of APUSH, while last year I had an A the whole time and we never had to even take notes. APUSH makes me want to die.
+Reaper Kira I actually think US History is way easier than World History due to it being more specific and because it's not as broad. With history you need to provide a lot of context and connect certain events, so it's kind of hard connecting for example, wars in Japan vs wars in Saudi Arabia compared to connecting the Civil War with the War of 1812. That paired with the fact that we're literally in the U.S. and have accumulated bits of our own history from when we were young makes US history a lot more fluid than world history in general. That could be my bias though, since I slept through most of AP world history and got a 2 on the APWH exam and will be taking my APUSH exam in about 4 hours.
+Reaper Kira I took it too and it wasn't that bad but my FRQ was not so great cuz I focused more time into the DBQ cuz that's gotta be lit since it's the most important. So yeah I wrote my FRQ in 20 minutes.
I really enjoyed Uncle Tom's Cabin. I've read it twice, and it was still really good. Granted, Harriet Beecher Stowe never saw or experienced slavery past glimpsing it out a train window (so she's not the best source of information on it), but the book is still well-written and moving.
Why is it so reassuring when John mentioned he got a 3 on his APUSH exam (or American history at that time)? Thanks, I'm not so afraid to get a 3 now :)
I'm so happy that you spoke about Uncle Tom's Cabin!! I read that in seventh grade (it wasn't assigned, I just read it) and it was the first step to opening my eyes. And I still have the copy given to me by one of my teachers :D
Just casually trying to pass the ap us history exam I have tomorrow by doing what my teacher told me not to do: cramming the night before wish me luck Also gonna do this next week for ap human exam
History has always been my best subject. However, I was always stuck on these reform movements. They never quite stuck into my head. This video was a fun and easy way for me to remember the movements I could not remember before. Like I mentioned in your other video, the visual references are very helpful and make it easier to follow along. You also talk very fast, but you talk very energetically. Because of this, I stay tuned in longer to what you are saying unlike a school setting.
3:10 This part isn't entirely accurate. At least for the Utopia community in Ohio, it was started in 1847 and basically continued up until the beginning of the civil war. Far from a society gone mad with "individualism on steroids," it's "government" was essentially conducted through the initial requirement of needing an invitation to join and signing the appropriate papers much like the Mayflower compact.
Standardized tests don't show anything except that someone knew the answers to the specific questions asked or they didn't on one day out of their entire lives. John Green is highly intelligent and knows what he is talking about - along with the team of historians that he works with. (This is coming from someone who got a 5 on APUSH and Chemistry, 4 on Calculus AB and Biology, so please don't say that I am just mad that I did poorly on my AP exams.)
Question for the Historians: This video suggests that alcohol was consumed at a greater rate than before and also after Prohibition. My question is...why? Was alcohol more accessible? Was it being created in greater quantity than before? Was there some cultural shift that made drinking more fashionable?
good question! the reason so many people consumed more alcohol before and after the Prohibition isnt really a simple answer...there were many reasons, however, the most common answer is that there wasnt a lot of clean water then, so beer and ale were more common and significantly more abundant.
It's not that it was more accessible it was because the desire for something increases the more taboo it gets. And yes, there was some type of cultural shift that made speakeasies, (secret places where you would drink alcohol illegally) very popular. Plus there was a lot of hype around it, prohibition was responsible for creating organized crime which would become mainstream media constantly.
If people drank alcohol for thirst, the trend would not have lasted long, as they'd still need water when they wake up with cotton mouth. The taboo reason is a nice hypothesis as well. You want hard math .. follow the money. As it's the case with literally every thing from tea becoming tradition between the common when East India company shareholders needed the crown to bail them so they were bailed out, tax on tea was reduced resulting in them being able to dump their overstock on the market. Remember.. that ended in the "Boston Tea Party"! .. Now look at 19th century America, their recent market revolution coupled with economic relations with West Indies now that stamp act and all that regulation on trade imposed by British is gone, and their own farming/plantation/agriculture integration and advancement.. being able to get easy access to maple, sugar, used in American distilleries going through the factories coming into play and production gone on steroid. Coupled with a culture that loved alcohol to begin with.. and viola!!
Hay I'm a Mormon Nerd fighter and i love what you do :) I just wanted to say i can really tell you did your research and I appreciate the accurate information (we get some weird rumors sometimes) DFTBA
Is anyone going to talk about how awesome it is that he got a 3 on the APUSH exam, but now is MAKING HISTORY VIDEOS FOR PEOPLE, AND MANY ARE USING THEM TO PASS THEIR OWN EXAMS!!! 👏👏👏
AntoniaMcGill 3 is a PASS!
AntoniaMcGill if he got a 3 then i'm gonna get a 1
AntoniaMcGill Kind of encouraging, if I get a 1 on the AP test, there is still a chance that I might end up making US history videos when I'm 37
+BleehhStuffGreg do you know how the AP test works.
+AntoniaMcGill The thing is sometimes you love something but you're not good at it. I loove chemistry but I'm not that great at it

We learned about the Second Great Awakening and Abolition Movements this week in school. Wonderful timing John Green!
Ah, the references in these videos are heartwarming.
Mr. John Green, you're doing something great.
This is perfect for studying for APUSH
What about Thoreau, Emerson, Poe, Melville, Whitman, Cooper, etc? Why is Hawthorne the only pre-Civil War author?
With closed captions "But how (and whether) we skoodilypoop ends up saying a lot about America, and also people in general". YES THIS IS AMAZING
Talking about mormons without a flame war...you my man are my hero!
thats alot of information in 15 minutes. i enjoy these. i need to see this again, but more of a 2 hour documentary length.
I really enjoyed Uncle Tom's Cabin. I've read it twice, and it was still really good. Granted, Harriet Beecher Stowe never saw or experienced slavery past glimpsing it out a train window (so she's not the best source of information on it), but the book is still well-written and moving.
Nice video easy to understand the topic, thanks .
Good luck on the AP tomorrow everyone!
This guy is heaven sent he explain everything in depth
7:29 "And speaking of places you're forced to go regardless of whether you want to"
That segue was incredible, lol.
If I'm not mistaken, I thought it was quite funny to see Joseph Smith's face on the black board over and over again.
I'm hoping for a 3 on my test. I'll keep you updated. It's in two days.
YEAH!!! MORMON-NESS IS AMAZING!!! BTW you did a pretty good job of explaining it :3
I love these short history lessons and I hope that you continue them after you finish this series up!

WAIT- is that Sephiroth at 12:16 ??
That's awesome!! XD
I was thinking that myself.
Shout out to anyone taking the APUSH exam tomorrow!
Why not making series on Egyptian history, or MEA History ( Recent History ), and generally great Channel, I enjoy it every time I watch a video.
Why is it so reassuring when John mentioned he got a 3 on his APUSH exam (or American history at that time)? Thanks, I'm not so afraid to get a 3 now :)
IF YOU GOT A 3, WHAT IS THAT GONNA MEAN FOR ME
Jacy Chan if you get a three you may or may not get college credit
it's all good, I ended up getting a 5 on the APUSH AP Exam :)))))

Some people got higher score than him
The secret is reading comprehension. It’s the same for WHAP and APHUG and I got fives on those
Who is on the blackboard? I need this for my AP US History class!
I'm pretty sure it's Joseph Smith, the first prophet of the Mormon church.

Plus there was a lot of hype around it, prohibition was responsible for creating organized crime which would become mainstream media constantly.
If people drank alcohol for thirst, the trend would not have lasted long, as they'd still need water when they wake up with cotton mouth. The taboo reason is a nice hypothesis as well. You want hard math .. follow the money. As it's the case with literally every thing from tea becoming tradition between the common when East India company shareholders needed the crown to bail them so they were bailed out, tax on tea was reduced resulting in them being able to dump their overstock on the market. Remember.. that ended in the "Boston Tea Party"! ..
Now look at 19th century America, their recent market revolution coupled with economic relations with West Indies now that stamp act and all that regulation on trade imposed by British is gone, and their own farming/plantation/agriculture integration and advancement.. being able to get easy access to maple, sugar, used in American distilleries going through the factories coming into play and production gone on steroid. Coupled with a culture that loved alcohol to begin with.. and viola!!
