So, im currently reading the federalist papers. Probably almost 5 years since I left high school and 7 years since I left my AP US history class when I saw this video for the first time. I highly recommend anyone that is genuinely interested in American history to please read the constitution and the federalist papers as well to get a better grasp of our government and truly appreciate how beautifully written it was. (Minus the slavery and Native American parts obviously) it's important to judge history with a non biased viewpoint and not look at it from a modern lens because you don't know what people went through at the time.

It's kinda ignorant to suggest Hamilton wouldn't have thought that firearms would evolve, being that while they were penning the Constitution, numerous firearms were available that sought to end the Musket/Pennsylvania Long Rifle's one shot fire mechanism. From the Puckle Gun to Congress's offer of the Belton Flintlock, there were many weapons in that time that tried to jumpstart rapid fire weapon evolution. Also, James Madison confirmed that Cannons were consititutionally protected under the 2nd Amendment. A cannon then is what a drone is now.

[@iliadnetfear2586]

@Jamie Owns that's the thing, nobody has the right to buy anything. You can be refused the sale of guns, you can be refused services of any kind, what can not be taken is the right to own it. Also, it's a misunderstanding among even gun-rights supporters that the right to own guns comes from the Constitution. This is not true. The way the second amendment is written, along with all the amendments, doesn't say that it is granted, it says it exists. The Constitution acknowledges that these rights exist, rather than give them. The reason for this is that a right given by government or document can be taken away by the same means.

Weaponry had advanced past the musket. The puckle gun (patented in 1718) was a rapid fire weapon (in the right hands) that predates the Gatling gun. They had pepperbox pistols as early as 1790 and an array of different weaponry far more dangerous than a musket. And many Founding Fathers liked this sort of stuff. May I remind you that the cannon existed John.

[@arianatolbert3421]

Really wishing this series had been made post-Hamilton because john could make ALL the references and we could all RISE UP and remember that Hamilton wrote THE OTHER 51 federalist papers and that Hamilton may have been the first one to die, but Burr's the one who paid for it. I hope you're satisfied. Also HISTORY QUESTION: did burr actually feel bad for shooting Hamilton or is that something Lin Manuel-Miranda took creative liberty on?

[@rachelblack8097]

Well he probably regretted it, if not for emotional reasons then for social and political reasons. His life was a complete wreck after he shot Alexander Hamilton. He went from being extremely wealthy to poor, had no further political future, was tried for treason after he tried to take over mexico and was accused of trying to plot the secession of the western states, his only child and only grandson both died (well, Theodosia disappeared). Alexander Hamiltons life is certainly remarkable, but I recommend you read up on Aaron burr and Theodosia burr Alston, his daughter (well if you've listened to Hamilton you know that lol) they were both so ahead of their time

[@rachelblack8097]

SnickersFantasy that's definitely possible, but we have no way of knowing if Burr truly regretted it for emotional reasons--we can't go back in time or in his mind, sadly lol. And the political shunning led to social isolation that became very lonely.

[@alexkay3448]

There's evidence that he regretted it and evidence that he didn't. He definitely at least regretted it for political reasons. 'The World Was Wide Enough' comes from an actual Burr quote; 'Had I read Sterne more and Voltaire less, I should have known the world was wide enough for Hamilton and me.' However, his intentions here are murky. Due to the texts he's referring too, he's still slyly insulting Hamilton? The dude did a lot of crazy things after Hamilton's death and he really did lose everything. It's hard not to wonder if maybe he lost his mind a little too. Possibly even he couldn't give you a straight answer. (Who am I kidding, it's Burr, his answers were about as straight as John Laurens.) One interesting titbit is that after Hamilton's death, Burr was seen stroking the face of a statue of Hamilton and he said to it 'there was the poetry.'

[@oaktree1807]

Ariana Tolbert Aaron Burr did not regret shooting Hamilton emotionally. His regret was how it ruined his political career. In the Musical, we are looking at it through Aaron Burr's eyes during the song "The World Was Wide Enough" in a past tense. So, in the Musical it might seem emotional, but it was only because it impacted his life and reputation greatly. Fun Fact: Alexander Hamilton Jr. (Alexander Hamilton's second son) was the lawyer for Aaron Burr's second wife when she wanted a divorce from Burr.

Duels weren't called duels back then. They were called affairs of honor, and we're very rarely actually taken to the battle field. Had Hamilton backed down from the duel, he could've been marked as inhonorable, and his career literally could've come to an end. Hamilton was actually an advocate for the end of duels after the death of his son, but backing down from a duel would've put the nail in his coffin (So did taking the duel, but that's not the point.) He could've said no to the duel, but then he would've been marked as cowardly, and his career would be over, and he probably thought they could both walk away with their lives.

I understand that most high schoolers aren't interested in history, but that pop culture stuff is what caught their attention. So I understand now. Thank you for making Crash Course enjoyable for everyone, not just the nerds who are unironically interested, but the apathetic kids as well to the extent that maybe they'll remember the lesson more than if it was read from a humourless textbook. No one but me laughed at the foreshadowing filter though and that I'll never understand.

I finally get why everyone is freaking out every time the guy in the video mentions Alexander Hamilton... Now, WHY DOES EVERYONE LOVE THAT MUSICAL?

[@COREYEIB1969]

Loved your presentation, Hamilton was well aware of incredible firepower at the time of the musket. Canon, light canon, bombardier, mortar and many other weapons were widely known at the time Hamilton pushed for an armed society equal to a standing army. I find it interesting the myth that the framers believed the world would remain fighting with muskets continues to persist. The diversity and capability of weapons both light and heavy at the time of the American Revolution is generally impressive to those who believe in the musket myth. Thanks for the entertaining and informative presentation, I look forward to more

My teacher sucks. He has us do busy work all day, and springs tests on us like, "Guys there's a test tomorrow so do your 50 page chapter outlines to study for it." So I resorted to the faithful and diligent John Green. I'll let you know if I ace my Constitution test Mr. Green.

As others may have pointed out before, the 3/5ths count for slaves was a measure to limit the disproportionate congressional power slave states would have following censuses, an imperfect but by no means exclusionary reality.

[@jatinsuri1746]

oh yeah yeah me niether

[@GrantFoxOfficial]

Informative video, however you can clearly tell his bias. Plus when he implied that Alexander Hamilton had no idea about the evolution of future firearms, it's simply not true. It wasnt even until a few years later the puckle gun (fullyautomatic) was created. Plus many fathers wanted the amendment vague so that the rule of law would forever be in balance between government and people.. meaning they knew firearms would evolve, or as they referred it to as arms.

[@mr_whitehair]

Thank you. I totally agree

[@iAMiRex27]

Also.. literal gun ships.

[@chilzer5612]

I'm pretty sure what he means is that tech today has changed the face of war, especially on the heavier side of weaponry such as ICBMs and UAVs, or even tanks, all of which could theoretically be considered 'arms' by the Second Amendment yet would be so ludicrous for an average person to own that it doesn't even make sense to consider it (You can actually legally own an armed tank, so yes it is an 'arm'). No one could have predicted in the age of muskets or even the puckle gun that we could kill people in such a sophisticated way, and that's really more to the point of what he's saying in that bit. Biased and extreme it may be, but it's not technically wrong either.
