James A Clouder I had the opposite problem. I locked my door Saturday night, and woke up the next morning to hear my door breaking. Next thing I knew there were crusader in my house claiming it for Christendom.
Sure, when he barges in, it's all "Oh, who are you? Wow. You sound fun." But when I do it, it's all "Get out of my house", and "I'm calling the police."
I never knew that the reason the Brits stayed in their Western forts was because of our treatment of Loyalists. We were just told in school that the Brits just ignored that part of the treaty and were basically being jackoffs and I never took the time to look into it.
it was actually due to fighting off an alien invasion. Brits holding the forts was just a cover story. All of history is just to keep us in the dark about the constant struggles against the alien menace that has tried to rule over us all since time immemorial.
It actually doesn't make sense otherwise. After all the West was a pretty barren land so why would the British keep thousands of expensive troops for a land that doesn't have much to offer? The British soldiers were there to protect British loyalists and if congress can't do that then they have to.
Not to mention, well, if the Confederation was on those weak of legs, the brits in those forts could simply walk east and reclaim those territories for the crown, because why not.
ShadeofMagenta Do you also realize, we weren't fighting against the crown, bit the greedy corporations? That is why so many were still loyal to the crown. And now look at us.
preoklenthe Hamilton and Madison decided to part ways when the partisan politics of the US began to spring up. Madison decided to join with his fellow Virginian, a well-known man, drafter of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson. As they believed that the Federal Government was getting too powerful and they promoted states rights and the rights of the farmers (whom Jefferson loved btw). Meanwhile, Hamilton decided to join the Federalist Party, with John Adams, a lawyer from Boston and a big diplomat to France, Britain and the Netherlands. They believed that the Federal Government should be more powerful and supported Federal Rule over trade, taxes and a national debt to be created. They had a lot of support by the elite and also had more favour with Britain. Hamilton and Madison would come into conflict a lot of times after this, with Hamilton supporting a strong Centralised, Federal Government with a Strong Centralised, Federal Bank. And Madison supporting a weak Government with strong states, he wouldn't allow the Articles of Confederation to come back however, he just wanted to keep the States' Rights alive.
Am I the only one who's seeing parallels to Gran Colombia, how Bolivar didn't have people like Franklin, Madison, or Hamilton? Maybe Gran Colombia is the example of what would have happened if the US didn't have these people who were willing to work to keep the nation together.
Gran Columbia had many issues that wherent just people issues. i think a large part was making them feel as one. the soldiers all felt like a union which is a large populous where as for GC everyone was more for themselves added in other issues. in my opinion (which means ignore this) GC was never going to work without going through many more years of strife bloodshed and reworks even if they had a more dedicated people. with that said im almost always in favor of larger unions when they work.
I understand that both countries seemed similar but unlike the United States, Gran Colombia never held onto a single national identity. Nueva Granada (today's Colombia), held the capital but the people of Venezuela despised letting their rivals become the heartland and capital of the nation. And the mountains and vegetation made holding places like Peru, Panama, and Bolivia a nightmare. Remember that Spain and her colonies all followed the French model of government. In France, the capital is the center of politics, economics, and military power of a nation and to not have it in your region essentially make your region a backwater state. This contrasted with the thirteen colonies whom followed constitutional government model. Where, like in England, power was invested in both the delegates of parliament (MP) and the executive power the monarchy. Also since the Glorious Revolution, the Dutch merchant republican government greatly interested Enlightenment thinkers into following the Dutch idea of a Stadtholder to act like a monarch but with provincial delegates as the real holders of power. This decentralized system allows economic, political, and military efforts to be spread more evenly throughout the country. This is the reason why the capital of the United States, Washington D.C., isn't really that important outside of political affairs even today. As compared to Paris, which is far more developed than any other part of France.
Works that way in Canada as well too. (Decentralised system) Ottawa looks nice, but the money is in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary (last I checked). To some degree Montreal, but I mostly hear the former three I mentioned.
The United states weren't that united when they became independent either. They also touched on countries with and without claims and things like border disputes were flaring up.
to bad many of the ones we forget about were the shitty ones who nearly fucked the nation over. (the ones like Hamilton, Adams, Jefferson, Washington, Madison, they are while flawed in some ways, the true founders as they laid down the path America was to take, if only we could continue that path rather then argue over many other paths including foreign ideologies which have snuck into our nation)
Originally, only 20,000 people were needed for a new state? That's twice the size of my college graduating class, and half the size of my hometown. I went to a big college, but my hometown is just a town. I can't imagine either of those being considered to be on a similar scale to a whole state. It's easy to forget how _tiny_ the world was back then.
Let's remind ourselves that this was before some of the people you might have studied with were considered people. This were supposed to be farming land that would produce the nation's capital, this means extensive batches of territory dedicated exclusively to the growth of vegetables, the breeding of animals and of course, the keeping of slaves.
But the big question is...Was someone else in the room where it happens? :P (Also, the artist impresses me with her ability to turn 4 books into a full blown book fort. That's a heck of a talent)
Throughout this series, America felt like an immature kid throwing tantrums, while not really understanding how the world works. Then over the decades it started growing up, going through a brief teenage rebellious phase in the civil war, experiencing both the joys and the horrors of adulthood with the roaring 20s and the great depression, and now finally in the 21st century America is a tired old man who just doesn't care anymore.
Double Double 4G Well he did invent bifocals around thhis time. Now the question is did he invent them for the sole purpose making the transtition faster from work to play time.
Speaking of dysfunctional Confederations, you guys should make an Extra History series on the Holy Roman Empire. Either an overall history, the Reign of Charles V, the attempt at Imperial Reform, or it's final moments before being slayed by Napoleon.
Ahhh this is SO dope. I remember learning about this in history class and thinking “This is so awesome, states should just be free to do whatever” until my history teacher pointed out several reasons why the the country would fall apart of this ever happened 🤦🏾♂️
Madison was laid back, intelligent, and savvy. His amiable persuasive demeanor convinced his fellow Virginians including (Washington) on board his Virginia Plan/Constitutional ship.👍
It's always nice to listen to Extra Credits old videos and then hear a voice you think you heard before and it's a RUclips channel you watched in the past as well.
What, no mention of Shay's Rebellion? That was a pretty big factor in influencing the debate on the Articles of Confederation due to the size of the rebellion and the economic situation that lead to it happening.
@ Whammy Analysis RE: "What, no mention of Shay's Rebellion?" You're absolutely right. Shay's Rebellion should have been included and you're also right about its influence on the congressional deliberations.
So, in roughly 40 minutes, you guys were able to tell the story from pretty much the beginning of the war, all the way to when the constitution was signed, which, coincidentally, is what we have been learning about in my US History class since FREAKING OCTOBER. Ugh
Jeez somebody doesn't like Hamilton I haven't even seen it but I highly doubt it's half as bad as people on the internet that are too cool for popular things say it is
9:39 Delegates from 12 of the 13 states met at the Convention. Rhode Island boycotted the convention and 2 of the 3 delegates from New York left. In fact, Rhode Island was the last state to ratify the Constitution years after it went into effect.
The end with the open studio/lock door, reminded me of Liberty's Kids when James and Henri kept trying to gain access to hear what was happening in the First Continental Congress. This was later repeated in the final episode, which was the constitutional convention.
I was watching and I was thinking the whole time "WHERE THE HELL IS MY HAMILTON" And then about a quarter in I'm like noice... but I NEED MORE GOD DAMMIT.
these videos were uploaded the day I graduated from high school with all the parties and the actual graduation this past weekend I am now just getting back into my more daily routine with RUclips and these 2 channels are easily some of my favorites. Both these videos and my (senior/ Junior) history teacher really made me enjoy history much more then ever.
Maybe having a nation of composed of semi-autonomous states isn't a good idea. Maybe that's why we were unable to get rid of slavery without having a civil war. Maybe that accounts for most of what's wrong with our country today.
"A friend told me you guys like to leave your studio open so guests like me can drop by" Holding up the lock he'd picked to get in. Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how every time there's a guest appearance the EC team makes a new clever joke about it?
2017: In the past, our government had pride for themselves, respect for there fellow neighbors and united as one. 1780's: "Screw off, You're not my dad!" "pfft...Not my problem" "Taxes? I owe you nothing!"
This is amazing. I’ve learned SO MUCH more than I ever have about the beginnings of our country. It’s crazy how these states/founding fathers bickered and nit-picked over such important things as simply paying these poor soldiers. Who absolutely earned their pay! Wow. THanks Extra History!
Fascinating details! I can't wait for the lies section! I'm so glad you did a series on this. As a conservative, a lot of my friends often forget that our federal government exists for a reason and that you can't just "deregulate all the things!"
This makes me hope George Washington himself gets a shot at Patreon votes for a future topic, it'd be interesting to see how you guys handle him - good and bad. As an American, I'd like see a full picture take on a man we've thoroughly placed on a pedestal. (coincidentally, this is why I loved AC:3)
Let this be a lesson to all about what an "Us vs. Them" mentality does to a society. Progress happens when we all agree that we need to work together and make a society better for everyone instead of focusing only on ourselves or the groups we occupy.
Okay but, many groups can only take their interests being shitted on for so long before they get fed up. The perspective of the person with a boot on his neck is that he wants that damn boot off right the fuck now. Also in this case pretty much everyone largely wanted the same thing. There are plenty of Us vs Them counter examples where it's clear there is no reasoning or compromise that will get a common understanding without paying too high a price. Think about the US Civil War; sure remember Lincoln *probably* would have been fine with making zero effort to free the saves in existing slave states; banning slaves in new states was the existing compromise; but the Southern elites knew that their entire way of life would die without the steady expansion of new slave states who would gain increasing power in Congress to eventually do away with it. After a certain point Lincoln and the Radical Republicans came around to the idea that there was no longer any compromise to be had; the war would be fought to its conclusion and slavery had to be purged from the earth with fire and salt; the South as we see got off too easy with Reconstruction. A house divided cannot stand. In fact the entire reason why the Civil War happened was because when the Constitution was signed they agreed to basically hit the Snooze button the question of Slavery and came up with a bunch of "compromises" to basically just agree to disagree for 100 years and it *ended with violence and war*. To get the constitution even enacted here; a lot of people had to basically compromise on fundamental human rights, think about that for a second. It isn't a ringing endorsement as we would like; terrible shit happened as a result that doesn't begin to get rectified for over a century, and another century after that.
No it was quite obviously racism. The entire society of the south was an ever living atrocity; the entire purpose of slavery wasn't just economic, but a means of social control. The control of the landed gentry was predicated on a quaint 19th century version of "temporarily embarrassed millionaires." A lie that any white southerner could own a slave and no matter how poor he may be, his station and position is still superior to that of the negro*. EVERYTHING about southern society was meant to justify the cause of slavery and its perpetuation. The idea that the "statesmen" of the south wanted to sell their slaves is pretty much false; the entire constitution of the Confederacy made it illegal for any southern state to abolish slavery, and they fully intended on expanding slavery through the conquest of Southern American territory to acquire more slaves or territories where slavery could be made legal and expanded. *Blergh at having to say this.
Well, not EVERYTHING about Southern socity was about justifying slavery, but WAY too much was. It was one of the worst things Southerners ever did to one another. And I put it like that deliberately black Southerners were Southerners too. The fact that whites couldn't or wouldn't see it is part of the tragedy.
"I am not thowing away my shot!" "My name is Alexander Hamilton, and there's a million things I haven't done but just you wait! Just you wait!" "Laurens I like you alot!!" "Madsion you mad as a hatter so take you medicine!!!" "You're like me. I'm never satisfied." "You're kidding?!
I am so glad to see this. I love Alternate History Hub and seeing Cody not blocky was so cool. Can't wait to see Extra Credit on his side of the world.
I was wondering if you could make a video about the independence of Argentina/La Plata from Spain? I'm not sure if it's a terribly interesting event but I'm dying to know what happened since it seemed separate from Bolivar based on your series. Anyone with any info I'd greatly appreciate it.

I never knew that the reason the Brits stayed in their Western forts was because of our treatment of Loyalists. We were just told in school that the Brits just ignored that part of the treaty and were basically being jackoffs and I never took the time to look into it.
It happens. Question everything!
it was actually due to fighting off an alien invasion. Brits holding the forts was just a cover story. All of history is just to keep us in the dark about the constant struggles against the alien menace that has tried to rule over us all since time immemorial.
It actually doesn't make sense otherwise. After all the West was a pretty barren land so why would the British keep thousands of expensive troops for a land that doesn't have much to offer? The British soldiers were there to protect British loyalists and if congress can't do that then they have to.
Not to mention, well, if the Confederation was on those weak of legs, the brits in those forts could simply walk east and reclaim those territories for the crown, because why not.
ShadeofMagenta Do you also realize, we weren't fighting against the crown, bit the greedy corporations? That is why so many were still loyal to the crown. And now look at us.
It really is nice to have Hamilton on your side.

But whats the alternative?

Yeah, but what would have happened if he didn't?
Oh I am sure Hamilton and Madison will remain friends forever :)
What happened between them? I am not very familiar with US history.

The United states weren't that united when they became independent either. They also touched on countries with and without claims and things like border disputes were flaring up.

I'm 6 years late but I'd say owning slaves is a little worse than "Imperfect".
Originally, only 20,000 people were needed for a new state? That's twice the size of my college graduating class, and half the size of my hometown. I went to a big college, but my hometown is just a town. I can't imagine either of those being considered to be on a similar scale to a whole state.

Speaking of dysfunctional Confederations, you guys should make an Extra History series on the Holy Roman Empire. Either an overall history, the Reign of Charles V, the attempt at Imperial Reform, or it's final moments before being slayed by Napoleon.
The best part is that you uploaded this 10 seconds after alternate history hub uploaded a video about the same thing. Well kinda, but still
in before you see the end
That's how I knew it was a colab.
Or as I like to call it: Fake History.
+sander heutink Well, of course. I don't think anyone claims alternate history to be real history.

I didn't get a sense of james madison's political prowess from the hamilton musical, glad it was explored here.
To be fair, he was more of a bit player in Hamilton’s story compared to Jefferson, Washington, and Burr.
I came from alternate history hub :)! And like what i see.
as soon as i saw him, and he said "What if that story never happen?", i yelled "!! CODY !!"
Ah. The return of the “we cool?” shades.
Also, loving the book fort at the end.
Madison was laid back, intelligent, and savvy. His amiable persuasive demeanor convinced his fellow Virginians including (Washington) on board his Virginia Plan/Constitutional ship.👍

these videos were uploaded the day I graduated from high school with all the parties and the actual graduation this past weekend I am now just getting back into my more daily routine with RUclips and these 2 channels are easily some of my favorites. Both these videos and my (senior/ Junior) history teacher really made me enjoy history much more then ever.
Who else got really angry with the states?
Sir. Robert Walpole
Because of course you did.
Sir. Robert Walpole
So how did you profit, anyway?
If you live in illinois you're still angry
Maybe having a nation of composed of semi-autonomous states isn't a good idea. Maybe that's why we were unable to get rid of slavery without having a civil war. Maybe that accounts for most of what's wrong with our country today.
"A friend told me you guys like to leave your studio open so guests like me can drop by" Holding up the lock he'd picked to get in.
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how every time there's a guest appearance the EC team makes a new clever joke about it?
2017: In the past, our government had pride for themselves, respect for there fellow neighbors and united as one.
1780's:
"Screw off, You're not my dad!"
"pfft...Not my problem"
"Taxes? I owe you nothing!"
This is amazing. I’ve learned SO MUCH more than I ever have about the beginnings of our country. It’s crazy how these states/founding fathers bickered and nit-picked over such important things as simply paying these poor soldiers. Who absolutely earned their pay! Wow. THanks Extra History!
HAMILTON AT THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
*I was chosen for the constitutional convention*
@6:28 and what a spectacular show Alexander Hamilton made!
~ Sincerely, 2020
Fascinating details! I can't wait for the lies section! I'm so glad you did a series on this.
As a conservative, a lot of my friends often forget that our federal government exists for a reason and that you can't just "deregulate all the things!"
I cannot explain how awesome these videos are! Have been looking for an all inclusive series like this!
This makes me hope George Washington himself gets a shot at Patreon votes for a future topic, it'd be interesting to see how you guys handle him - good and bad. As an American, I'd like see a full picture take on a man we've thoroughly placed on a pedestal. (coincidentally, this is why I loved AC:3)
Excellent collection of videos about the Articles of Confederation! Amazing job!!!
Oh joy! I thought y'all had forgotten to upload the video today!
At 10:11 I was like "Wait, I KNOW that voice. ...Yes! Alternate History cameo!"
me: kicks down door
me: DID SOMEONE SAY ALEXANDER HAMILTON !!?!?
Extra Credits + Alternate History Hub. That was a pleasant surprise! Still smiling.
Let this be a lesson to all about what an "Us vs. Them" mentality does to a society. Progress happens when we all agree that we need to work together and make a society better for everyone instead of focusing only on ourselves or the groups we occupy.
Okay but, many groups can only take their interests being shitted on for so long before they get fed up. The perspective of the person with a boot on his neck is that he wants that damn boot off right the fuck now. Also in this case pretty much everyone largely wanted the same thing.
There are plenty of Us vs Them counter examples where it's clear there is no reasoning or compromise that will get a common understanding without paying too high a price. Think about the US Civil War; sure remember Lincoln *probably* would have been fine with making zero effort to free the saves in existing slave states; banning slaves in new states was the existing compromise; but the Southern elites knew that their entire way of life would die without the steady expansion of new slave states who would gain increasing power in Congress to eventually do away with it.
After a certain point Lincoln and the Radical Republicans came around to the idea that there was no longer any compromise to be had; the war would be fought to its conclusion and slavery had to be purged from the earth with fire and salt; the South as we see got off too easy with Reconstruction. A house divided cannot stand.
In fact the entire reason why the Civil War happened was because when the Constitution was signed they agreed to basically hit the Snooze button the question of Slavery and came up with a bunch of "compromises" to basically just agree to disagree for 100 years and it *ended with violence and war*.
To get the constitution even enacted here; a lot of people had to basically compromise on fundamental human rights, think about that for a second. It isn't a ringing endorsement as we would like; terrible shit happened as a result that doesn't begin to get rectified for over a century, and another century after that.
No it was quite obviously racism. The entire society of the south was an ever living atrocity; the entire purpose of slavery wasn't just economic, but a means of social control. The control of the landed gentry was predicated on a quaint 19th century version of "temporarily embarrassed millionaires." A lie that any white southerner could own a slave and no matter how poor he may be, his station and position is still superior to that of the negro*. EVERYTHING about southern society was meant to justify the cause of slavery and its perpetuation.
The idea that the "statesmen" of the south wanted to sell their slaves is pretty much false; the entire constitution of the Confederacy made it illegal for any southern state to abolish slavery, and they fully intended on expanding slavery through the conquest of Southern American territory to acquire more slaves or territories where slavery could be made legal and expanded.
*Blergh at having to say this.
Well, not EVERYTHING about Southern socity was about justifying slavery, but WAY too much was.
It was one of the worst things Southerners ever did to one another. And I put it like that deliberately black Southerners were Southerners too. The fact that whites couldn't or wouldn't see it is part of the tragedy.
The drawing of Cody is cool...Cody is not the only one who leaves doors open.
Lilenne what are you doing!?*I am fortifying this position...*
Oh god, that bit at the end put a smile on my face. I just found the SUDDEN BOOK FORT so cute and hilarious.
6:23 insert Hamilton reference
"I am not thowing away my shot!"
"My name is Alexander Hamilton, and there's a million things I haven't done but just you wait! Just you wait!"
"Laurens I like you alot!!"
"Madsion you mad as a hatter so take you medicine!!!"
"You're like me. I'm never satisfied."
"You're kidding?!
I need more Hamilton and Constitution creation!
"History has its eyes on you..."
The Red Baron And Benjamin Franklin's bifocal on you.
I am so glad to see this. I love Alternate History Hub and seeing Cody not blocky was so cool. Can't wait to see Extra Credit on his side of the world.
alternative history hub just uploaded a video on articles of confederation
coincidence?
I think not!
PaddedPawz yes, he did
Mary Pusineri smh.
Totally just coincidence. :P
PaddedPawz DANG it I was going to say that
Alternate History Hub and Extra Credits?
Truly a crossover greater than we can imagine
10:11 Scott! _did you forget to lock the door?!_
I'm trying to remember the name of that video. :P
will's little book forth is precious
We cool?
James Madison we cool
Ibney00 I love this community
Like seriously where's Walpole I'm sure he's in here somewhere
@@tommykarrick9130 yea
You know your video is good when Cody decides to step in.
You forgot that time they had a rap battle mid court.
I love Lil's faster than lighting book fort as soon as he shows up
Sometimes, you need to trick even your heroes into doing the right thing. ;)
Nobody expects the alternate history hub! His chief weapons are facts, history and radical devotion to the alternative history.
Honestly, going through this series, It's a miracle America even succeeded at all. That and it's always been a self interested clusterfuck .
my favorite history channels just did a collaboration...God is good
*sees title*
"I WAS CHOSEN FOR THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION!"
If there is ever a Hamilton series on this channel i will explode into 10 trillion bits of disbelief
The hills look kind of cute.
Anyone else just love when Cody from Alternate History Hub just barges into a video?
*INSTANT BOOK FORT*
I like how when someone just barges in the one on the far left just makes a book fort out of no where.
Anyone else kinda relieved their state showed up to ratify the treaty?
Where's New York. WHERE'S NEW YORK!!!
HA! My State was still French at this point in History, after the fighting was done we didn't have anything to do with the Yankee States.
My state was still controlled by the Spanish so.
mine was also controlled by Spain at the time
Mine was kinda sick and came in late
That book fort at the end was far too adorable. Don't know why. It just pushed that button.
I was wondering if you could make a video about the independence of Argentina/La Plata from Spain? I'm not sure if it's a terribly interesting event but I'm dying to know what happened since it seemed separate from Bolivar based on your series. Anyone with any info I'd greatly appreciate it.
Alternate History Hub is a fantastic channel, ive been following Cody for about two years now i think.
7:05
If you consider calling your friend "Mad as a hatter" and that he should "Take his medicine" cuse he's in "Worse shape than the national debt is in" good friends then sure...
As a British guy who knows Fuck all about American history this was a super interesting series!
Wait how did Lil make that book fort so quick?
Practice, I'm sure.
By the frequency of people breaking into their rooms im sire that she has a lot of experience
God I just love the way these cameos happen-especially when done by Cody
