The Seven Years War and the Great Awakening: Crash Course US History #5
In which John Green teaches you about the beginnings of the American Revolution in a video titled The Seven Years War. Confusing? Maybe. John argues that the Seven Years' War, which is often called the French and Indian War in the US, laid a lot of the groundwork for the Revolution. More confusing? Why does this war have two names? Why were the French and Indians fighting each other? The Seven Years' war was actually a global war that went on for nine years. I think I'm having trouble making this clear. Anyway, the part of this global war that happened in North America was the French and Indian War. The French and Indian tribes were the force opposing the British, so that's the name that stuck. Let's get away from this war, as it makes my head hurt. Other stuff was going on in the colonies in the 18th century that primed the people for revolution. One was the Great Awakening. A religious revival was sweeping the country, introducing new ideas about religion and how it should be practiced. At the same time, thinkers like John Locke were rethinking the relationship between rulers and the ruled. So in this highly charged atmosphere, you can just imagine what would happen if the crown started trying to exert more control over the colonies. The colonists would probably just rise up, right? We'll see what happens next week.

Dear John Green. My students literally cheered when they realized I was showing another Crash Course in social studies class. From the bottom of my heart - thank you!
"For today we're just going to refer to it as the seven years war on account of how it lasted for nine years" LMFAO. That made me laugh so hard

Jarred Richards I come to these videos to learn about american history so I can study apush. not having femminism foisted upon me. I don't have anything against the movements, but if they want to make a video talking about women's rights. it shouldn't be in one that explains the 7 years war
When he said "ocean away" all I could think of was Angelica and Hamilton's "Do you have to be an ocean away?"
Just a piece of trivia that I learned: the reason that it is called the "Seven Years War" even though it lasted nine years is because the British did not officially declare war until 1756 which means officially the war technically only lasted 7 years.
Btw if anyone's worried there isn't enough content to do well on the APUSH test just from watching crash course there's a channel called Hiemler's History that goes thru all the actual periods and its also clear and easy to understand

Having said that, I got super nostalgic when the mongoltage played. Thank you John-Green-3-years-ago

Why couldn't you have taught my history classes? Oh well, I can pretend that I'm 12 years old again. Thanks for the fun approach.
I didnt expect a Vlad joke in a video like this. Good job my teacher, you got good taste for picking this video.
wow that was so incredibly packed with stuff I didn't know, I didn't realize how much of that period was relevant to present day North America this is probably my favorite episode so far of both history courses !
Yo if your teacher is assigning or putting these on in your class that teacher is awesome. They know how good & useful these videos are and are giving you a prime opportunity

A class in which I wait for the bell. This is why I watch your videos. So I can maybe to some degree convinced myself that I'm capable of learning. And that's if I can keep up with you.

"today we are going to call it the 7 years war on account that it lasted for 9 years". lol omg that was funny
When I saw this was about the 7 Years War I decided to watch just because I was hoping you would mention the Acadians. You didn't fail me. My family is Acadian! In fact, my last name, LeBlanc, is one of the most popular Acadian names. There was even a village called "Village LeBlanc" (or LeBlanc Village.. one or the other). If you look up stuff about Acadians you'll see the name LeBlanc poping up a lot. My family even owns acreage in Nova Scotia to this day. Although French is only my second language & I live in Western Canada, I still have lots of French speaking relatives back East in Nova Scotia. I'm very proud of my Acadian roots.
u make history more bearable thanks
I didn't know that Jonathon Edwards was Aaron burrs grandfather. So the line "my grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher" finally makes sense
"I was younger than you are now when i was given my first command. I led my men straight into a massacre, i witnessed their deaths firsthand"
Sorry John Green, but the stress from this exam makes me cry more than all of your novels combined.....
I absolutely love Crash Course! It gives you a full understanding of pretty much Everything! Brilliant work! BUT PLEASE speak a little bit slower or make longer pauses cause it is difficult to perceive and remember information in a such fast pace!!! thank you!
