The Germantown Petition Against Slavery: Crash Course Black American History #5

[@AvgJane19]

It's interesting to see how so many want to not apply "modern morals" to this period, and yet through examples like these we see that claiming ownership of other people has always been problematic to at least some brave, moral people that lived in that moment.

[@Alwayz114]

The hell? I grew up near Germantown and I'd never heard this story! Seems like the kinda history we should promote

[@teesherese7849]

Same!!

[@teehlfx5238]

These are great videos to share - to make sure the stories are getting out!

[@SkilledApple]

It amazes me how much we don’t learn in school about history.

[@ItsShahrzadG]

I want to thank everyone involved for making this series. I have sat down and watched this with my closest friends and family. Clint is an incredible host.

[@mr.cooper669]

I'm definitely using this one in my classroom. Thank you!

[@DontMockMySmock]

This is quite possibly the best CC series yet. amazing stuff

[@fixxxer3456]

Had the pleasure of picking up Clint's book and if you want a good companion piece to this series I highly recommend it

[@annaliekelsall2050]

I wish we were taught all this in school, it's so interesting to hear about how massive the slave trade was and how influential it's been on our current beliefs and practices.

[@lwrncschmchr]

I'm always learning something I didn't know from each of these. Thank you!

[@kevindorcy]

Thank you for sharing some family history of ours that we are quite proud of. Our grandfather from way back was Garret Hendricks, one of the signers of the petition. I recently visited the document at the Haverford College Library (Quaker and Special Collections), just outside Philadelphia. It was truly amazing holding that piece of history in my hands. Thank you again for making this video. This history is so important in so many ways to so many.

[@zacharydebacco5718]

So glad that this is finally getting some coverage.

[@RamboKingz23]

I'm loving this series each episode. Rock on brother ❤💯

[@MsLaurag09]

This series is so well done. Incredible work

[@sydneytrotter1789]

loving this series 🙌🏾

[@chocohalick]

I live in Germantown Philadelphia, helps me feel the weight and the truth of History

[@petersmith1343]

Thanks. We can also note the leading role British Quakers played in the abolitionist campaigns which began in Britain in the 18th C.

[@saintless]

Some history I wasn't familiar with! Haven't been to Germantown in decades, not since I lived in East Falls. Thanks for making this video!

[@mahrukhmazhar4526]

Being black is awesome

[@LuinTathren]

Being human, regardless of melanin production, is awesome!

[@80sabrosa]

Can't wait to see him talk about the Stono Rebellion. It's essential for understanding why certain laws exist today.

[@kb-mm3ll]

I live for crash course videos ❤️

[@dutchuncle2716]

Apperently I missed 4 already. Anyway, happy that there's a new CC History!

[@TesserId]

Makes me wonder when the term "if not now, when" came into use.

[@bluefishactcl1464]

Thank you for studying this and publishing it. Really enjoyed your clear and supported exposition!!

[@kristenthomas3985]

My utter excitement when I get a Crash Course notification

[@margaretmatthews511]

Question: who are the 4 men who wrote this anti-slavery treaty??? Thank you.

[@mix-up9003]

Thanks for show it was certainly and enlightening video, I think a more of the usual visual aides would have help to get the point better across to have a more stimulating understanding of the stakes at play there, but I can understand that you were really trying to be as serious as possible on the subject, and I think dropping the sound effects and music was probably a good idea, keep up with those great videos dude.

[@mariavalente6304]

Me: Crash course american history: i know, boring, i'm not american and I know this ... Crash course black history: ohhhh

[@aliensinnoh1]

Great video. Never heard of this event before.

[@stufromoz8164]

Yeah, what sort of christian oppresses any other human being???? Raises a few questions in modern times even?????

[@alisaurus4224]

I thought one of the tenets of Quakerism was abolition/not participating in slavery. Very interesting episode.

[@HamKaa-m2p]

I'm learning this in school

[@zurifrommissouri]

Watching this as I sit down with a hot bowl of Quaker Oats

[@MichaelBeckman]

A great lesson! Thank you!

[@kavitha4069]

Crash Course videos are really awesome .

[@kellyblackmon741]

Very informative.

[@Love1nOther]

Quakers didn't start Quaker Oats!?!?

[@LudwigSpiegel]

Thank you for sharing!

[@Scoutsquad45]

Exactly, because a bunch of Countries still haven’t answered to having been involved with stealing stolen goods for cruel, free and harsh labor

[@ZoeAlleyne]

In general Quakers are the only Christians I have much time for. This was a cool video, thanks!

[@moonoreo]

It was a state part of the union so makes sense. Enjoy watching him talk about black history.

[@darkmater4tm]

I appreciate that these videos make an effort to be fair to the multitude of opinions and motivations regarding slavery. Too many people take the easy road of completely vilifying colonists of the time. It is unproductive, not only it is too easy to rebut and dismiss, but because it offers no lessons. If these people were barely human compared to us, then we have no reason to look inside ourselves.

[@EPUEPUEPUEPU]

Great video

[@TobiSamaEatinCookies]

Notification Squad Hype!!!

[@iamshooketh9504]

Yes another video 👍

[@Yaythebunnylord]

breakfast is the best

[@HamKaa-m2p]

I'm more than a color, I'm a human, I am cherished and loved by God!

[@falconeighteen]

remember that Nixon claimed to be a Quaker

[@robopope1]

I’m sorry, my friend … oatmeal sucks. 😂

[@HamKaa-m2p]

I'm not a color I'm a human

[@LePedant]

Breakfast food is the worst! There I said it!!!

[@giorgiomx]

Isn't saying "Thanks thought bubble" the same as saying "Thanks Powerpoint slide", "Thanks Epson projector", etc.?. 🙄 I guess I'll get use to it and ignore it.
