As soon as I saw the name Clay, I know we were talking about a super duper daddy long leg raycist

A lot of NBF meatriders in the comments. Say what yall really want to say

Dream Enemy Commander. What an unfortunate life, so many blessings, Squandered for pure nonsense

Whatsup Thersites, When are the Romans of Renown coming back (and also the long awaited Gaius Scribonius Curio)?

So he was an outspoken advocate of state's rights, yet vehemently defended the fugitive slave act?

You’re videos are so wonderful! Thank you!

I've never understood how Sulla is " the good guy," but Caesar is an "evil asshole dictator."

Is the monarchy of Britain today descended from him?

The reason the Romans invaded Britain in 43AD was because of our, Tin, Gold and silver mines and our Bred cattle. Britain produced and traded tin in ancient times and was well known for it. The first known ancient Greek to come to Britain was Pytheas in 4 BC. He reported its name as Prettanike (Πρεττανική) and Brettaniai, Brittannia, The British Isles.

“Trump is too toxic” no wonder you lost

Seems to me that Thomas is overrated, far too limited to be put in the S tier. Did well at defence but also held ground that was easily defensible, and not agressive enough at offense to be put that high.

If I want to play football I have to learn the rules of the game. I can't come in with my idea that every time I carry the ball for 3 yards I have made a touchdown and then scream and holler that the other players don't have an open mind because they won't credit me with a touchdown after I run with the ball for 3 yards.

If I accuse my neighbor of killing my dog, it isn't up to my neighbor to prove that didn't happen. The person who makes the claim has the burden of proof. Hancock put out ridiculous ideas and then claims it's up to scientists to prove him wrong. No, the burden of proof is his. These are his claims, nobody should believe a single thing he says because he doesn't even have one single piece of evidence for his claims, much less does he have a body of evidence to convince any thinking person.

Voters were responding to the Liberal Woke agenda. Dude is still blind.

I really appreciate how candid and sincere you are in your lessons. But truth be told, my favorite moments are when you're talking about... well... People you don't want to talk about lol. You are impatient, in all the right ways

Wow .. thx for the upload . I read about this guy before .

Sea lung = 🐋

Nathaniel Gordon, God bless his good name. I will always honor his memory.

There were connections between elites in Britain and Greece in the early Mycenaean period: "An unusual stone mace head lay to the right of the Bush Barrow skeleton [next to Stonehenge, 1900 BC], made out of a rare fossilized stromatoporoid (sea sponge), originating in Devon or Cornwall. It had a wooden handle, from which decorative zig-zag-shaped bone mounts survive. The mace is considered to be a symbol of power or authority.[28] Similar bone mounts have been found in Grave Circle B at Mycenae in Greece,[29][7] at Illeta dels Banyets in Spain (associated with the Argaric culture),[30] and in gold at Carnac in Brittany (associated with the Bell Beaker culture).[31][32] Various authors have suggested a connection between the bone mounts in Britain and those in Greece, where they appear without local antecedents.[33][29][34] This is supported by the finding of amber necklaces from Britain in the elite shaft graves at Mycenae (Grave circles A and B).[35][36][37] According to the archaeologist Joseph Maran, "In Greece, amber objects first make their appearance in the seventeenth or sixteenth centuries BCE at the very beginning of the Mycenaean period. ... the amber objects had not reached Greece from the Baltic, but, mostly as finished products, from the area of the Wessex culture of southern England. ... There is an amazing similarity between the shaft grave period and the Wessex culture not only in the amber items as such and their close association with gold, but also in the social contexts of the appearance of amber jewellery … in both regions such special amber objects were confined to the very small group of the most richly furnished burials.”[38] Close similarities have also been noted between the gold-stud decoration of the Bush Barrow dagger and the decoration of elite weapons in Mycenaean Greece.[39][40] The gold-stud technique is exclusively attested in Britain, Armorica [Brittany] and Greece, with the oldest examples coming from Britain and Armorica. In Greece this technique, known as 'gold embroidery', first appears in the shaft graves at Mycenae.[41] According to the archaeologist Nikolas Papadimitriou, "Mycenaean gold embroidery first occurred in the same context as two other types of artefacts that are considered indicative of northern European links: amber spacer-plates with complex boring and weapons with in-laid decoration."[39] The archaeologist Sabine Gerloff argues that the gold-stud technique originated in Britain and was transferred to Greece, along with amber necklaces and zig-zag and lozenge-shaped decorative elements, including the bone mounts from Mycenae.[42]

All my friends hate "k" as a soft "c"

jewish?

Mike and Basil were "friends"

God blesses us with more content from this wonderful historian

The big dirty never pays off

What sources were used for this?

Best of luck Sean in your publishing effort. Great stream as always. The impression I get that after all the carnage of the previous years there is a marqued improvement in the abilities of the commanding officers, but there is still a noted amateurism in the way they lead battles.

I just had a wild flash of imagination for a movie. A slave trade vessel loaded up is going west. A few of the captives make the best of the situation by somehow telling stories and working together to make the trip more enjoyable than it would have otherwise. It must have happened just by the sheer numbers and chances.

What happened to the byzantine emperors? 😢

I fear once the lobsters run out Maine will turn back to slave trade

About 2 months late, but I personally don't think that Grant was a great operational manoeuvrer. Definitely a great strategist and while he has his moments of sound moves or brilliant ones like at Vicksburg, he also has quite a number of blunders in his career which detracts from his generalship in that specific category. I do share the opinion with Sean that he was a bad tactician. Lee was perhaps not as great of a strategist and his tactical reputation is rather mixed, similar to Grant's operational record. However, there's no doubt that he was a superior operational manoeuvrer to Grant. Now, I do agree that Vicksburg was more brilliant than Ulm, though. Grant made do with less resources than Napoleon there. However, his enemies were just as, if not even more incompetent than Mack was. Nor do I consider Ulm Napoleon's finest campaign. Marengo, for me, takes the cake as being superior to Vicksburg or Ulm. Having drawn up a 15 mile long investment of Pemberton, Grant was susceptible to defeat in detail against a competent enemy if they were to leverage their interior lines. Had he faced someone able to concentrate their forces as Melas had, he would have been whipped. This is especially so when we consider the close call breakout at Fort Donelson, even when he had superior forces at his command. Also, I wonder if I missed it somewhere, but while Sean does mention that Grant failed to concentrate proper forces at the decisive point, he seems to think that it was Petersburg rather than the rail line between Richmond and Petersburg opposite Bermuda Hundred. I've seen Bryce suggest this strategic line before and it just makes sense. Rather than having to work his way all around Petersburg, painstakingly cutting the Norfolk, Weldon, and Southside railroads, he could have snipped it all in one go by concentrating the entirety of the AotP in Bermuda Hundred and, instead of relying on Butler, personally taking command to push through the entrenchments there and seize the rail between Richmond and Petersburg. In this manner, Grant can still draw victual from the James River and by sea, and if Lee desires to relieve Richmond, it is he who would have to be the one operating along exterior lines, whereas Grant, with his superior forces, can work along interior lines with the James River anchoring their northern flank and the Appomattox River anchoring their southern flank. It's a position that maximizes all of his strengths while dealing Lee an even worse hand. It might be just because I'm overly critical when analyzing generals throughout history, but I don't consider Grant great at operational manoeuvrer. I consider him good, but there are plenty of individuals able to do what he did far more cleanly, more consistently, and with less blunders to their career... not to mention under tougher circumstances.

McClellan stream would be good

3:33 Was linear B translated?

I must say you did a fantastic work here, BUT, i think you made one mistake, when you said Franco didn't had intention to invade Portugal that's not true, he did had eve a date for the invasion, but Salazar managed to profit Spain hunger for grain and famine after civil war, so Salazar feed Spain and Franco gave up invading us, thank God. Other than that, a hate the man, he almost killed my parents so...i hate him and for the concentration campes in africa for political prisoners...and some more brutal episodes. Portugal never was conquered, never, even in 1580/1640 we fight back all years until the bigger Spain run out of our land.

Slave trading was banned to avoid war w England not because it was deemed immoral

I hate it when I sell my boat to a Spaniard who immediately goes and does illegal things only to run away when a warship appears so perfectly that its as if he was never there.

nice stream with the absence of the shrill cliche machine.

Smuggling and lawlessness and dealing in slaves. Sounds like our current year crop of people on the planet have failed to significantly distance themselves from the burdens of the past.

Timothy Dexter, buisnessman 1747-1806

Because 'Murica has always been a classical oligarchy.

Bruh why are there so many wild stories in history lol. The man didnt care about slavery one way or another, he was just trying to get rich. Even as a black man i cant knock his hustle there lol His biggest mistake was being late to the slave trading hustle. 1860s was a bit too late for that one

Is he wearing a kippah in that portrait? Lol

Gordon, by his actions, killed over a hundred captives. That's psychopathic serial killing.

OG

If no maps especially with the Petersburg campaign it’s near impossible to cover Petersburg.

20:56 you mentioned you feel at home with Marxist analysis, do you consider yourself a socialist or do you just recognize the value of the framework?

Really interesting to get a deeper view into your politics!

Did you guys mention they discovered how Roman Concrete was made? Not sure the actual discovery was 2024 though

I would love to see a McClellan stream! When it comes to his opinion of black emancipation, there is some indication of it in his memoirs, but not in great quantities. He despised abolitionists, blaming them partly for the outbreak of the war. At the same time he liberated some slaves in West Vriginia and showed sympathy to their plight, whilst repeating in the same letter he is not an abolitionists. I believe in that same letter or somewhere else he said he could only accept abolition of slavery on the British model, with some degree of compensation. As is known, he didn't want his army to interfere with the institution of slavery where they went. He used some black guides, but called them useless in his memoirs (note that according to Stephen Sears Little Mac died before he could write about Peninsula Campaign and Maryland in his memoirs). At the end of the war, in his last conversation with Lincoln at Antietam he allegedly said the slavery thing is probably done. After the news of Emancipation Proclamation however, Mac was displeased, calling the act a folly that would only lengthen the war. He wondered if he should voice his opposition publicly, but in the end he chose not to. P.S. Moltke did praise McClellan in a private conversation they had. Since it was a private praise said directly to Mac's face, I am not sure how truthful he was.
