I love how after winning a major war and being made the first leader of a new nation, George Washington voluntarily left his position and returned to being a simple farmer; he gave the spotlight to someone else and didn't desperately try to stay relevant. That's a real hero, right there.

He was heavily inspired by Cinncinatus, an ancient Roman who the Romans considered to be the model example of a "dictator". In Rome's Republican political system, a "dictator" would be appointed in times of crisis. They would gain absolute power for a limited time in order to address the crisis. Cinncinatus was one such dictator who immediately resigned from politics and went back to farming upon solving the crisis he was faced with, and Washington sought sought emulate him. The city of Cinncinati is named for him

@filipwolffs

@@yoloswaggins7121 What's even more impressive about Cincinnatus is that this happened not once but twice. Twice Cincinnatus was called upon to resolve a crisis, both times he did exactly that much faster than anyone would have expected, and both times he immediately surrendered his position so he could get back to his farm. Of course, it might just be that he really liked the peaceful life of a farmer, but that doesn't take away the fact that this is a man who successfully resisted the temptations of power despite twice having the opportunity to seize control of the Roman Republic.

As a brit, I only ever really feel patriotic when viewing our nations past. Say what you will about the morality of it but in the words of Dave Chapelle - "don't judge a photograph because it wasn't taken today". All that aside, over the course of the two videos I've gone from feeling slightly scorned by the Americans basically mugging off the British to kick things off (knowing too how it ends of course), to now feeling like the American victory in this war was not only absolutely well deserved, due to intelligent strategy and British ineptitude, but also that the manner of the victory speaks so much to how present day America holds itself. Listing them would be mundane, but just thinking about the parallels is facinating

The concept of “historical relevance” doesn’t make any sense when you’re talking about morales. Causing human suffering e.g colonialism, slavery, sexism, etc is objectively bad as are the people or nations who did those things. Be proud of your country for its technological genius or something not it’s all encompassing imperialism.

The smash cut to "after a heated debate" with both of them covered in fruit is so underrated.

I went to college in Williamsburg, VA and there was a prank among students to take freshman friends to see the wonder of “Cornwallis’s cave,” one of many nearby colonial US sights. The prank was for everyone to hype the cave as a must-see visit, only to show up and find a barely 6 foot unfinished dent roughly carved into a rock wall to store supplies, littered with straws and beverage cans, with a gate at the front and a “Historic Virginia” sign next to it noting that it was unlikely Cornwallis was ever there (the rest of Colonial Virginia sites are pretty amazing though, and I would highly recommend Williamsburg as a nice historic vacation spot….just not Cormwaliis’Cave).

Apparently Benedict Arnold almost died at Saratoga. If he did, he would have gone down as one of the greatest heros in American history with statues erected everywhere and towns named in his honour. You either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain
