Tea, Taxes, and The American Revolution: Crash Course World History #28

In which John Green teaches you about the American Revolution and the American Revolutionary War, which it turns out were two different things. John goes over the issues and events that precipitated rebellion in Britain's American colonies, and he also explores the ideas that laid the groundwork for the new American democracy. Find out how the tax bill from the Seven Years' War fomented an uprising, how the Enlightenment influenced the Founding Fathers, and who were the winners and losers in this conflict. (hint: many of the people living in the Colonies ended up losers) The Revolution purportedly brought freedom and equality to the Thirteen Colonies, but they weren't equally distributed. Also, you'll learn about America's love affair with commemorative ceramics and what happens when rich white guys take the reins from rich white guys and put together a society of, by, and for rich white guys.

    For those who haven't figured it out, the reason people thought that democracy was anti-theistic was because Western religion up to that point was based around the notion that God and his creations were a monarchy, and that kings and emperors were part of that monarchical structure. Establishing a democratic society was like trying to overturn all of that.

    To say American slaves would have become free much sooner had the colonies been unable to succeed is a big "what if". If the British Empire had retained the colonies the Empire would have been more reliant on slave labor and perhaps less likely to abolish it in the 1820s.

    I beg to differ there, but that is certainly arguable. There was William Wilberforce and other abolitionists with their own institutions in England and in Parliament that were working to abolish slavery and encourage others to think likewise, given that few in Britain depended on slaves for livelihood, which is principally why abolitionism was uncommon in the colonies and took time to gain prominence.

    1.) To be fair, the Brits taxed themselves first at home and thought it was logical to tax the colonists considering the residing British army remained to protect them against conflicts. So it seemed reasonable in their view. 2.) Boston Tea Party, yes the tea was cheaper, they got rid of all the other levied taxes except for tea, it was still cheap, but the British takeover of East India Co. for reasons to prevent bankruptcy made the colonists view it as monopolizing and thought the Brits could take over their industries as well. So the Brits thought they saved the tea co., and also repealed other taxes along with cheaper Tea, thinking it would lead to greater relations, but it was a big misunderstanding of two different ideologies and difference in way of thought. 3.) The revolution wasn't only about taxes or had nothing to do with the war. The revolution was the minds of the colonists and creating their own identity. John Adams & Benjamin Rush state that the revolution is still striving today.

    I'm a Swiss history student and i enjoy john's videos which provide a nice résumé about the whole topic. Neither being British nor being American, i view the American Revolution as mostly a chain of misunderstandings and ignorance on both sides (a bit more on the english side). The UK had it's own problems with George III, Premierminister North and it's thousand commitees (like Board of Trade); every Duke had to be included somehow, so naturally, there had to be some trouble. Always, when the colonist did something to show their disapproval (like Gaspee), the English implement a law that makes the colonist even angrier (priviledge of East India Company). Ignorance and misunderstandings paired with bad timing. If the UK had a better organisation and would have been more understanding, they could have worked it out (my opinion). To me it's like a family feud

For example; one interesting note I discovered from Jon Meacham's Art of Power is the importance of per-revolutionary France on Jefferson, Revolutionary America on Lafayette, and the writing of the Les Droits..

    This video covered exactly what I was teaching this week in class. I decided that after we had class discussion I was going to introduce them to the WONDERFUL word of Crash Course. We, later the same day, watched the Crash Course about photosynthesis. I think my students were very entertained by how much I laughed. One even commented, "Ms. M are you a nerd?" "Yes kid. Yes I am. Proud too, aren't you?!" I just wanted to say thanks, these are a great entertaining way to boost and give my kids great visuals. Thanks!

Kids today insult each other saying "you're gay" when the person is straight. The Committees of Correspondence claimed that a man being loyal to the British meant he lacked masculinity.

    The deceleration of Arbroath was penned 500 years before the American declaration of independence and was the first to advocate that the government was subject to the will of the people. It also bears a striking visual resemblance to the deceleration of independence and its no coincidence that many of those who signed the latter were of Scottish extraction.

    One thing to point out, Jean-Jacques Rousseau thought up of the concept of a decentralized gov't that allowed the provincial gov'ts have more autonomy, in his 1762 work The Social Contract; which is how the US of A is organized. So yeah he did have some influence on America's formation. Also, I find that America to be founded solely on Locke to be an oversimplification as Montesquieu, Aristotle, Plato, Cicero, Epictetus, Epicurus, and Voltaire had much to do with the formation of America. Also, I kind of feel that John Green seems to misunderstand philosophy as it is not a monolithic study.

    Fun fact: The South was more loyal to England than the North. If England won the war, I doubt they would have banned slavery at the time they actually did. It would have made more profit for them. The south made huge profits from slavery, and one of their main customers were the British empire. The British Empire even supported the Confederacy during the American civil war.

    What was interesting was that in the first draft of the Declaration of Independence there was a section written that would free the slaves. The council assigned to write the document, which then promptly put it on Jefferson, said that not all of the people at the convention would agree to this and would make the convention longer than it already was. Jefferson "fixed" this after a heated argument with the rest of the council and thus we have our Declaration, also the original draft cussed a lot.

    First I'd like to clarify that I am in high school and by no means a qualified expert about these subjects (please don't bash me), but I'd argue that the claim that slaves would've been better off if the British won isn't necessarily true. First of all, assuming the British actually managed to keep a hold on the colonies for the next 70 or whatever years, the British could so easily get rid of slavery because they weren't dependent on them. There were very few slaves in Britain, and furthermore, they didn't exactly encourage the dissolution of a slave-culture in any of their other or future colonies (*cough cough India*). Especially if they benefited from the slavery in the Americas, it really would've been an upward climb to ban it.

    +Grace McKinley I think In the long run one they would be maybe not immediately because the practice of slavery was considered barbaric part of the reason it survived as long as it did was because it was far away from home and few normal brits saw it. Maybe having it in america would awaken people earlier also they were not slaves in India, servants maybe but not slaves certainly there was nothing like the slave trade that came from Africa.

    Really loving the the world and US history series. So refreshing to get a more balanced view of US history that isn't so steeped in mythology and irrational patriotism. Though I'm real surprised that you don't have an episode on the English civil war and revolution, as it's probably the biggest influence on powers in america and is a precursor to the american revolution i.e. much of the powerful american elite who went on to start the US are of the same stock as those who over threw the English crown over 100 years previously. Plus you shouldn't miss out the story of the world's first Republican Democracy in a series on world history, even if it did only last a decade.
