Nice. Do the Napoleonic Wars by Oversimplified next.

[@bm9727]

Your wife is really intelligent and would love to hear more of her input in other oversimplified videos. I love the chemistry between the two of you, keep it up!

[@HistoryBuff]

Thanks! She's really excited to do another.

[@SamGrant-jm6mz]

Do the Civil War ❤

[@wolfram407]

I just found this channel and I'm surprised this is Mrs. Buffs first appearance. You two have great chemistry on camera and I appreciate conversation over "talking head" content.

[@HistoryBuff]

Thanks for the kind words! Ive made a lot of videos with my son, but I never thought my wife would do it! I think she caught the bug though 😁. I'm actually really surprised these oversimplified videos don't get more views. The history of the world video was huge! Oh well. Still fun!

[@SamGrant-jm6mz]

I agree y'all are great 👍😸

[@robertmills3830]

Im 25 years old and your family life and love for one another makes me want to settle down soon and have a loving family of my own. God bless you guys and keep these history reactions coming, i absolutely love history!

[@HistoryBuff]

Aww. Best compliment ever!!

[@leorolland]

It's sooo nice you two doing reactions like that together, really appreciate your commentary keep it up pliiiiz 😁

[@driveral1305]

The Declaration of Independence was a unique document at the time, but some of the ideals weren't completely out of left field. For one, the Manga Carta had some ideas of liberty imbedded. Also, John Locke and primarily the Virginia Constitution and Declaration of Rights had a huge influence on Jefferson.

[@coreyrees840]

TURN was a great show on AMC about the Culper’s spy ring

[@scrogg13]

I'm pretty sure I'd never watch these nor even know of them if it wasn't for you doing them. They are very entertaining. Enjoy! 🤘😎🤘

[@chriskirby9021]

Please do more oversimplified WITH your wife. Awesome reaction.

[@iKvetch558]

Really fun to watch, it was terrific to hear your spouse point out some of the things that Oversimplified left out or got slightly wrong...I especially loved the mythbusting she did of things like Paul Revere's shouts and ride. This is definitely one of Oversimplied's better video series, with a good balance of facts, jokes and run time...and I usually only comment on the joke he/they make about the British government asking the American colonists nicely to pay back the money spent on the 7 Years War, which is obviously not the way the British government went about getting money from the American colonies. Looking forward to more history stuff.

[@HistoryBuff]

Thanks for the kind words! We're already talking about what to do next, but meanwhile, feel free to check out a few of the other oversimplified and history of the world videos I've done. Heck, even learn about cuckoo birds...nature's biggest assholes.

[@EddieLove]

Oversimplified makes great content! Very enjoyable, hope you guys react to all of them.

[@user-ew8ty7tw5r]

Thank yall. Very insightful.

[@jaydisqus3353]

You guys need an on-air sign... ;) Great reaction.

[@HistoryBuff]

Lol, the kids would be like "challenge accepted!"

[@scrogg13]

@@HistoryBuff hahaha

[@Bayleaf6399]

The simultaneous speaking got me xD 39:05

[@HistoryBuff]

🤣😂🤣😂that has happened in every video we've done so far. We've kept it all in there for the parents out there!

[@user-ew8ty7tw5r]

Beautiful couple. Live your insights. Thank you

[@woyer999]

you two together, team, interesting fun educational/informational repartee, keep it up, grow your channel

[@aerialballet1990]

this was fun to watch, enjoyed the review. so this channel has The Buff, The Ruff, The Tuff(kid) and now for the first time and possibly future reviews, The Stuff.

[@HistoryBuff]

Lol, love it!!!

[@rashadwalker8218]

The both of u saying what at the same time was hilarious

[@RyanTravis23]

Love your reactions. 😊

[@HistoryBuff]

Aww thanks! Got a ton on here. Some original stuff to that relatively nobody watches. Thanks for watching!

[@Rivkah.Gamble]

Woot! Welcome to 'the KZbin' Mrs Buff!! (May I just say, the two of you are adorable and perfectly in tune!) These are great, y'all. As an historian myself (Epidemiology, African American, ancient Near Eastern, and British History), I am loving these history videos. Buff, I think maybe you're referring to the Quartering Acts which required the colonists specifically to house and feed the British soldiers whenever the numbers exceeded their barracks, etc. These acts...did Not go over well. Lol). Interestingly, Crispus Attucks was both Black and Indigenous (Attucks is an Algonquian word meaning deer). March 5th is Crispus Attucks' day in Boston!

[@HistoryBuff]

RIVKAH!!! Meet the wife.....wife....meet Rivkah!

[@Rivkah.Gamble]

Lol. Hello, hello!

[@TheJustinbfananne021]

Since she mentioned Hamilton at the end and his contributions, I think it would be awesome for you guys to react to the musical Hamilton and how Lin Manuel Miranda told his story and the research he dedicated for the lyrics and overall story. It is quite long tho

[@denofgames2072]

Woah was "Garbage tea" needed in that sentence 😂

[@xnamkcor]

Your voice sounds much better. Sounds great.

[@SamGrant-jm6mz]

History That Doesn't Suck is an hour long biweekly podcast, covering American history. It started in early 1760s, there are over 120 episodes (so 120 hours of in depth history) and we are only in 1917.

[@Danielle.theseer]

“No taxation without representation”

[@Ulas_Aldag]

Could you react to the punic war by oversimplified? Regardless, great reaction. I actually learned a lot of new details about the American Revolution.

[@MikeH96H]

I've never learned much about american revolution because it's not as important to Europeans as it is to you, but I can't help but wonder, how much different the world could have been if the British attacked instead of deciding for a siege.

[@boki1693]

It took awhile but I see you finally brought the "Eye Candy" in to help you. 😁 I mean come on dude, a pretty woman with a killer smile ain't gonna ever hurt the views. Do you have any idea how long I thought John Paul Jones was only the bassist for Led Zeppelin? LOL. Was wondering, did you and the wife ever see the tv show, "Turn?" It's about George Washington's spy network based on Long Island. I think it ran 5 seasons. Being that I live on Long Island and recognized many of the places in the show, I was curious to see how accurate your wife thinks the show is if she saw it. Oh, I see that you did. LOL.

[@HistoryBuff]

Lol, thanks a lot. If you check out some of my other historical videos with her, you'll see she has a lot more than a killer smile, but she knows way more than I do about history.

[@HistoryBuff]

Oh wait, that is one of the videos. Sorry, I've been getting inundated with comments from the music videos we've covered this week

[@boki1693]

@HistoryBuff No worries. I actually started watching that vid when it first posted, but I got distracted from watching it after 5 minutes somehow and forgot about it until it popped into my feed today. Look forward to watching more.

[@The_Stoned_One]

5th Generation Great Grandfather 2nd Continental Army NC. K.I.A. after the surrender of Cornwallis in scurmashes with loyalists. His son received his "reward" 630ish Acre in Tennessee Territory and a small cash thing. All of the family contributed to the war. His name was Enos Bissell (Bizzell)

[@The_Stoned_One]

Addendum He was a P.O.W. and rescued by The Swamp Fox

[@The_Stoned_One]

Having the worst time ever. My maternal grandmother is Cherokee, but is not on rolls. She was born in NE Arkansas, Birth Certificate say Star City. She knows nothing of her story. She is gone now, but where would some one start. Because there seems to be another birth certificate. She grew up in an Native American Orphanage in Pryor, OK. We can't trace back her native ancestry

[@antichoice1]

When she said, it's not the British are coming, it's the redcoats, I instantly flashed back to kindergarten and realized that IS what I was taught. It was the "redcoats." But as I got older, my mind just changed it to "British."

[@givingin2G4Courtz]

Now THAT is a FIND!! Bless y'all! As for the 'housing British troops'....yeah, lots of angry horny young soldiers IN YOUR HOUSE with your DAUGHTERS and your super-pissed-off young SONS...isn't that a fine recipe! OH, my, I gotta go support that other channel too. DAMN, that's creative!

[@deandavies9576]

We had every right to tax you guys after protecting you against the French to begin with. Also "the shot heard around the world" that was fired first came from the colonists. All i agree with from the american side of this is the none representation in higher places

[@user-ew8ty7tw5r]

I agree. Ben was wrong.

[@skxlter5747]

Do ww2 next!!

[@coreyrees840]

Also The patriot was GREAT and clearly loosely based around the back countrymen who rose up against “The butcher” Tarlington. Can’t for the life of me remember the actor who played the character meant to portray him but easily one of the best villain performances ever. I HATED him lol

[@HistoryBuff]

The antagonist in the patriot was Jason Issacs.

[@coreyrees840]

@@HistoryBuff great acting performance in that, as I said one of my top all time villains, along with Daniel Day Lewis in Gangs of New York which is another great film albeit not the most accurate lol

[@evanirvana500]

Oh and,ma'am, you need to do more oversimplified. But speak up! Don't wait for hubby to ask you a question. You're a history teacher, teach. I've watched many history teachers react to oversimplified as well as a couple other great history videos such as the Hustory oc the entire world I guess, the fallen of ww2 which as won quite a few awards, and boatlift:the story of 9/11. And each teacher would add more context and knowledge as this video is thorough but it's not meant to be in depth. Many history teachers went on to show this and the others I mentioned in their classes bc you LEARN much more from an engaging video than a dry textbook.

[@HistoryBuff]

I think this was the first video she did with me, so she was very nervous and asked I controlled the flow. She's done a few since and has opened quite up. She'll get there. And no, I'm not the domineering husband type, since here i am talking for her lol. I just get all the comments.

[@ericbarlow6772]

I wish he talked more about the Southern Campaign as SC has the most Revolutionary War battles and skirmishes. General Francis Marion is also a forgotten hero. Tarleton essentially named him the Swamp Fox. Also I have an ancestor who fought at Kings Mountain. Thomas Jefferson basically called that battle the turning point of the war. Col. Patrick Ferguson was the only Brit at the battle. When the Tories initially tried to surrender they shouted “Quarter!” The Patriots shouted back “Tarleton’s quarter!” Which meant they were going to give back the brutality of the British. If it weren’t for Cleveland, it likely would’ve ended up a massacre. One final thing is tradition says you’re supposed to put a rock on Ferguson’s grave on Kings Mountain to send him one stone closer to Hell.

[@user-ew8ty7tw5r]

Your a 108. She is 119

[@HistoryBuff]

Lol, interesting point system

[@jehhhGames]

Maybe cut the part where you basically tell your kid to shut up.

[@HistoryBuff]

Maybe...no

[@SamGrant-jm6mz]

She mostly knows what she's talking about but if you want a better understanding of the American Revolution listen to a podcast called history that doesn't suck.

[@MikeH96H]

I've never learned much about american revolution because it's not as important to Europeans as it is to you, but I can't help but wonder, how much different the world could have been if the British attacked instead of deciding for a siege.

[@davidmacy411]

Its not the only time either that there was some almost fateful weather interruptions to possible British dominance of America. In the War of 1812, when Washington DC was taken they started the looting and burning only to have a severe thunderstorm hit where a tornado ended up causing major British casualties and abandoning the city.

[@MikeH96H]

@@davidmacy411 Seems like they were never meant to maintain their empire in north america. Even though the War of 1812 was a sideshow for them because of Napoleon, it also shows how much luck America had not only in gaining but also maintaining the Independence. 😁
