Fun facts: The British argument to the lack of colonial representation in parliament was to say that people in Britain don’t even have representation in parliament so why are they special, coining the term “virtual representation” which was mocked on both sides of the pond The soilders of the Boston massacre were actually put on trial and were defended by the founding father John Adams believing they were acting in self defense Benedict Arnold would actually get injured in the left leg at Saratoga and had it set rather than amputated leaving his left leg 5cm shorter than his right. John Paul jones was buried in a lead coffin filled with alcohol to preserve him Benjamin Franklin wrote a letter to a friend of his explaining why older women (milfs) were better than younger ones, thus making him the first true patriot

[@marquisdelafayette1929]

I love how the joke was that they would hang Benedict Arnold like the traitor he was but bury his leg with full military honors. And they did make a statue of his leg at the Saratoga battlefield. 😂😂

A fun little tidbit: A story goes that supposedly, the song "Yankee Doodle" came to be used by the British to mock the Americans. And when the war ended, American bands were set up at the ports to specifically play the song as the British boarded their ships. It was believed to be a way of saying "You call us Yankee Doodle? Well Yankee Doodle just kicked your ass."

[@DanaOtken]

Given that the pre-war British sentiment did seem to be that the colonists were country hicks who could never understand the heights of civilization of the British Empire, and that "macaroni" really did refer to a kind of clothing decoration in fashion at the time, I think that the song "Yankee Doodle" was invented to mock Americans and the song probably did circulate in the early part of the war simply because that happens even if nobody's trying to make it happen. And the United States has definitely adopted the song to the point there are good odds elementary school children in the country know it by heart.

[@marquisdelafayette1929]

Not exactly… They were surrendering at Yorktown and dumping their weapons in a pile and marching with the French on one side and Americans on the other. The British were playing “The World Turned Upside Down” and while marching had their heads turned to the French, refusing to make eye contact with the American soldiers. My username sake, the Marquis de Lafayette, got irate with the snubbing of the American soldiers by the British and called out to the American band to play Yankee Doodle and as he did and they started playing the tune the entire line of Brits marching swung their head in unison towards the Americans. Just like how Charles O’hara (General Cornwallis’ second in command) tried presenting his sword to Rochambeau instead of Washington… they were basically embarrassed and didn’t want to be seen as “beaten by Americans”.

To be fair to the Americans at that time, slavery was also still allowed in Britain and it wouldn't be until 1834 with the Slavvery Abolition Act when they themselves got their act together. This didn't apply to the British colonies, however, as slavery was still allowed in the colonoes until 1848. Back across in the US, 20 of the then 34 states had also ended slavery. Thirteen years later, in 1861, was the start of the American Civil War and ended in 1865.

It was a REALLY thick fogbank, and an unexpected one. If the British had sent people out to scout or try to open fire, they would have no idea who was firing where and on what. Difficult though it also made crossing the river for the new Amerians, I've heard at the time it seemed like divine aid. Oh - and the British Navy was more occupied than you might expect. It isn't usually heavily gone into covering this part of history, but the Americans had privateers who were absolutely raiding cargo ships and could and did pick off isolated warships, so the navy couldn't just sail all their warships into formation and open fire on port towns. They still had to protect both their traders and their own navy ships.

[@samarmstrong3651]

@@liammbiscwit This video really over emphasizes just how much help the French provided (which was mostly supplies not men) though it was definitely a crucial turning point and did play a big part. The Spanish and Dutch involvement on the other hand was negligible and barely warranted mentioning. They didn't actually physically do much, rather they expressed sentiment that they were rooting for the Americans, which added to the political pressure on England's parliament. The British lost because the king fired their experienced and competent general at the beginning of the war after the high casualties at bunker hill and let Howe run the show (Howe's skillset included drinking, bragging about himself, and absolutely nothing else. Top five biggest dumbasses in history). Cornwallis was Howe's most notable subordinate officer and did his best to actually fight but didn't have the authority to overturn Howe's poor decisions. As far as the argument that Britain could have won if they sent the whole army with the big guns --- they did. Remember all the talk about how England was broke through all this? They sent almost 3/4 of their military to America and still lost. Also more time should be spent talking about how much John Paul Jones and his fellow naval commanders hampered those efforts because a lot of what the British tried to send got intercepted or retreated back to England. England did get pummeled, and they continue to claim "it just wasn't worth the hassle" because copium. The entire country was on the verge of collapse if they hadn't signed the peace treaty and gotten America to agree to pay off the debt. The reason the British don't cover the American revolution in school is because in England it is illegal for teachers to include discussion of any war that Britain has lost in their official curriculum. So yes, I know the truth, and the truth is that you lost to famers. Keep seething.

Prior to 1800 or so, it was possible to be an expert on pretty much everything at once it you could afford the education.

So especially considering his popularity in furthering his findings and encouragement of laymen to become interested in his field (essentially what brings Dyson into this conversation), and considering the biases against conservative academics, I'd very much say Peterson is as close as one could get to a right counterpart to Chomsky (I'll be frank and admit, without googling it, I have no clue what Chomsky even studies, I just know his name and his political bent).

@@SeanWinters I just looked at his h-index, which is around 60. Chomsky by comparison is over 190, and most people I would think of as leaders in their area in psychology are over 80. 60 is not a bad target to aim for, but it's pretty middling for a well-known academic 30+ years into their career.

"Sounds like America owes the French a lot" After WW1 and WW2 id say we're even lol

[@SebasTian58323]

I saw this comment somewhere and posted in before. I'm not sure how accurate it is on everything but it's a good read Because much of the fighting in the Seven Years War was in North America, the Members of Parliament were reminded of the existence of the colonies. Up until then most of Parliament simply gave the colonies no thought. And the colonies had been thriving due to that benign neglect. As others have stated, there was a tax issue. In general, the serious taxpayers in Britain were Members of Parliament. They had to be; they were the ones with the money. They were looking for other revenue sources, and they hit on the idea of taxing the colonists. The problem was, at this time everyone in Britain thought of wealth in terms of species; that is, gold or silver coins. But due to Parliament’s own previous policies, there was very little space in the American colonies; most transactions were a combination of barter and credit. Some colonies issued limited paper currency, which basically made the barter-and-credit economy a bit more convenient. To make matters worse, the colonial governments had gone into debt during the war, and they were already collecting local taxes (in specie) to repay the debts. Thus the new taxes from Parliament hit when the colonies had an even worse than usual cash shortage. It is interesting that Mr. Hanover (a.k.a. George III) privately observed just this problem with the Stamp Act, but publicly he did nothing about it. What Parliament ought to have done was to assume the colonies’ war debt, and then tax the colonies for repayment but accept barter/credit/ colonial paper currency. It would have been cumbersome and time-consuming for the British government to convert goods to cash, but it would have been taxation in a form the colonists could actually have paid. Indeed, by eliminating the need to find rare species Parliament would have been praised by most colonists. In hindsight, we can see the souring of relations starting in 1763, but in reality, things had basically been worked out until the tea crisis of late 1774. That was caused by both sides’ escalating overreactions. *taken from some guy on quota In regards to Washington's leadership, we have to remember that the Americans were fighting a much better trained, much larger Army with much more supplies.

The American Revolution was kinda the turning point for colonialism and history in general. We had people from different parts of the world seeing these measly 13 colonies rise up against British rule and beat them back. Seeing this, they were inspired to fight back against their oppressors, most notably France who overthrew and beheaded their monarch King Louis. This caused another reaction, this time from the major powers of the world at the time who saw a major player in their belief get overthrown and replaced by a more republican government. This, in turn, led to the Napoleonic Wars which indirectly caused more events like the Crimean War, the Franco-Prussian War and many more.

[@Xalerdane]

The taxes mostly affected the upper class and upper-middle class of the colonies, who were getting peeved at being treated no better than the poor colonists despite having money and estates and often being wealthier than their English counterparts. Like the Stamp Act, which _actually_ referred to the embossed image stamped into paper made in England, which was the only paper the colonials were allowed to buy. Back then, only wealthy people bought paper, so they were the only ones negatively affected by the Act. “No taxation without representation” was really just propaganda to get the people not actually all that affected by England’s actions to get on board with the whole ‘revolution’ thing, when the war was actually because the people on the bottom of the top wanted more of the pie.
