Not heard of these folks, will check out their other work. Really liked the MLK sketch, that's a clever 'what if' moment, as was Galileeroy the pimp. The slavery sketch was also good. I think it depends on what you're laughing at in cases like this. Humour, especially satire, is a good weapon. It's the juxtaposition of slaves complaining that they're not being sold which is funny, not the fact that people own(ed) other people as property. Horrible Histories do some great sketches for kids all ages, and Mitchell and Webb did a few good historical sketches in their various series.

From what I've read, they were mechanically clever enough to figure that sort of thing out -- clockworks and mechanical harvesters were all undergoing constant development and improvement during the late 18th and 19th centuries. My understanding is that the real innovations which needed to be made for automatic firearms were metallurgical and (the absolute key component) "smokeless" gunpowder. Both of those require better understanding of materials science and chemistry, fields that were also undergoing rapid development at the time, but I don't know that seeing what's possible from a pair of machine pistols would have helped to advance those technologies any.

As I understand it, black powder fouling means you can't get more than a few rounds through a repeating mechanism before the whole thing gums up too much. There's also the question of industrial capacity (machine guns go through ammunition at a RIDICULOUS rate!) and necessary precision in tooling. One of the great advantages of the Union during the civil war was a certain level of parts interchangeability, but it was _abysmally_ low by modern standards -- and they considered that a national strategic goal in the 1860s. My point is, even with the designs, the technological and industrial ability wasn't there yet.

Modern weapons aren't that far off from what existed back then... There was government documents indicating they discussed using an automatic rifle with a design submitted to them by a well known gunsmith. Automatic weapons existed back then, but they were usually too costly. It wasn't until modern production techniques that drove prices down that they've been more common now than ever. You can find very old documents dating back to the 1700s that had designs for automatic weapons such as the puckle gun dated 1718. We actually have actual guns such as Girandoni air rifle which was in used by the Austrian army from 1780 to 1820 or so. There's even ones from the 1500s from the area that's now modern germany, a Arquebus with a 10 round revolving cylinder. Nothing about the idea of keeping gunpowder and a bullet in the same cartridge was new, nor was the concept of firing bullets in quick succession. In fact evidence exists that many who founded our country had seen and fired these weapons first hand.

They haven't done the show in years. Jordan Peel is now a very successful horror film director with works like Us and Nope. Keegan Michael Key is less successful than Peel, but he does have a moderately successful acting career with several C list roles a year and the occasional B list level role.

As a native of Auburn, NY born and raised, the original 2 choices for the change on the 20$ bill were Susan B. Anthony and Harriet Tubman. The decision was voted for Tubman and during the Obama Administration, the plan was to have the bill released in March 2020. But no one expected Covid and Trump. The Trump administration put that on hold. The project was supposed to be revived during the Biden administration but I don't think that is happening as far as I know.

The Act to Prohibit the Importation of Slaves was passed in 1807 (After 20 years, allowing citizens to adjust from being dependent on international slave trade until then), eliminating American participation in the slave trade after January 1, 1808. The Act imposed heavy penalties on international traders, but did not end slavery or the domestic sale of slaves. Only the importation of slaves was against the law at this point, and the states that allowed slavery still operated slave related dealings without being penalized until 1865 when the 13th Amendment was ratified.

Something quite interesting: When Harriet Tubman was born, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were still alive. And Ronald Reagan was born before she died. She could potentially have met both the 2nd and the 40th US President. I remember Reagan, and I’m not THAT old 😄 Just goes to show how young the US really is.

Great reactions. For another comedy duo who have a lot of history-based sketches, I'd recommend Mitchell and Webb. Not sure if there's any compilations of their history stuff specifically, but I'd recommend: Are We The Baddies, The New Fuhrer, Bronze Orientation, Caveman Police, Conspiracy Theories, KKK, The Good Samaritan, Abraham and Isaac, Caesar.

The belt and flintlock could shoot 16 rounds and was around the time of the founding fathers. They also had pepperbox guns, which fired multiple rounds. Some of which could fire up to 250 rounds. They also had the first machine gun about 90 years before the revolution, but it was not very workable, but the founding fathers knew of these weapons.

The slave trade had not ended by 1848, the import of slaves had ended by this time. Slaves were still traded, but they were traded internally within America. Meaning, the new slaves at this time were offspring of other slaves

Keenan Michael Keye got to get up on stage... Next to Obama...raging all over the stage...what a moment for them. One more thing: ID what your politics are, one had to appreciate Obama's sense of humor.

James Puckle’s Machine Gun (1718): James Puckle, an English inventor, patented a machine gun that could fire 63 shots in seven minutes. This early machine gun had a pre-loaded cylinder and was intended for use on British ships to repel boarders. Pepper-Box Pistols ( Late 18th Century): These pistols featured multiple barrels and could fire multiple shots in quick succession. They were not fully automatic, but they were an improvement over single-shot pistols. Girandoni Air Rifle ( Late 18th Century): This Austrian-made air rifle had a 20-shot revolving cylinder and was used by hunters and sportsmen. Breech-Loading Rifles ( Late 18th Century): Rifles like the Hall Model 1819, which was produced in the United States, allowed for faster loading and firing than traditional muzzle-loading firearms. While not fully automatic, they were an improvement over earlier firearms. These early firearms demonstrate that the concept of rapid-fire weapons was not entirely new during the time of the Constitution’s signing

There was also a design submitted to the government for an automatic rifle, and government documents indicating it was discussed using them. The government at the time decided against it for two primary reasons, first is they were expensive, and second was the concern of these weapons falling into the hands of the british, who were still using standard muskets and would potentially make their enemy stronger if a large supply fell into their hands. Coupled with the fact that the overwhelming majority of guns, ships, cannons, and war supplies in general were mostly owned by private citizens. There wasn't much of a need to supply guns when the population had more than enough, and their primary issue was simply having enough troops.

The main goal for the 2nd Amendment was to ensure an adequate defense of a tyrannical government. So weapons SHOULD match (to an extent) what the military is capable of. Private citizens owned war ships during those times, considered to be the strongest military weapon.
