His biggest attribute would be "master"? To those who who studied but never lived in those times, her animosity is not in shadows.

[@KaleRylan]

Yeah, What makes it worse is that she doesn't really justify it. It's clear she just thinks it's categorically the most important quality of anyone who has slaves without really backing the statement up, but in a time period when lots of people had slaves, that doesn't really bear out. There are people who were intimately involved in the slave trade, but to my knowledge washington was not, and she doesn't really say anything here to change that. She kind of tries to justify the argument later on by suggesting he was just a control freak, but while he definitely wasn't a socialist, arguing that a defining trait of someone famous for giving up power is they were a control freak is a bit of a stretch, especially when, if you do know about Washington's relationship with slaves, you know it was something he struggled with morally. Not enough to stop being a slave-owner unfortunately, but to say it was his most important trait is basically just applying modern morality without any sense of context whatsoever. Obviously we are as much a product of our times as they are, but you should be able to have SOME context.

[@rfjm0]

I thought she was listing his titles in chronological order? Master as a teen, General during the war and President afterwards, right?

[@thomasnnielsen]

@@KaleRylan Wow, so just because "a lot of other people" were involved in the most horrible and inhumane practice in human history, you think that kinda makes it fine for Washington to be one of them. I think you need to look deeper into what that actually means and how disgusting everything surrounding the treatment of enslaved peoples at that time were. There is no way you can understand the true implications of having hundreds of slaves and at the same think that it's OK simply because it was "part of the time"!

Some of my passion for history grew out of numerous movies, shows, books and Video Games. Many of which ive often seen noted for their historical inaccuracies over the potential role they played in getting young people interested in history. Glad to see content like this! Use those mediums as gateways to spark interest, and then pull them in with more context and i formation about ehat they liked.

It’s so strange to me to hear someone with a British accent say something other than the magna carta could be the most important document in human history.

[@alexhanson6577]

I'm British and I totally get where you're coming from! I would probably go for some other document entirely from ancient history, personally. Btw, just in case it's the kind of thing you're interested in (after all, you're commenting on a history channel), it's just "magna carta"' not "the magna carta".

[@evoandy]

@ thanks! I was wondering about that as I wrote it but got distracted while I was googling it and just decided to leave it. Notes for future reference.

The funniest thing about the revolution was: that the tax in America actually was lower than citizens of the UK. And tax in the US today is way higher than before the revolution.

[@seanmac80]

Yeah, but it wasn't about the tax or how high it was. The issue was being taxed without then also having direct representation in Parliament, and therefore no say in how those taxes were utilised.

[@ploopy8780]

"taxation without representation" was the main issue, key phrase "without representation."

[@AndrewNiccol]

@@seanmac80 Yes, I believe Americans would agree to pay higher taxes with representation than lower taxes without representation.

[@CarterElkins]

@@AndrewNiccol Correct. It was about both, the tax itself AND the representation. They didn't feel the taxes were justified and would likely have fought against them no matter the rate. That's because in many cases, people are just plain unreasonable and self-centered, then just as now. Lucky for them, they also had a perfectly valid reason, because taxation without representation is indeed unjust. Taxes being higher today goes without saying, considering the massive amounts of safety nets built into modern society. Our tax dollars are doing a heck of a lot more for us than theirs were doing for them.

[@AndrewNiccol]

@@CarterElkins Unjust? Compared to who? Every colony of the UK had no representation, I can't think of a colony that had representation in the UK. Most citizens in the UK had no right to vote, they had no representation either.

[@mademoisellelanoire4632]

Those ideas were not fought all over the world! Limited government, separation of powers into three branches and individualism were groundbreaking and revolutionary! I am the person who will salute America! Cheers!

[@1rwjwith]

Better history than is taught in almost all classrooms. Note: there were not 300 plus British soldiers killed in those two battles ! The British suffered 73 killed, 174 wounded and 26 missing …the 300 total is close to TOTAL CASUALTIES not battlefield deaths. The colonists had 49 killed , 39 wounded and 5 captured , this is according to American Battlefield Trust .

[@concero2496]

Wow, an american historian that acknowledge that Washington wasn't that good of a combat strategist. Wish more people mentioned that. He was an excellent planner and organizer. His best ability as a field commander was that he knew that Green and Gates were better battlefield commanders.

[@jasonrusso9808]

We NEVER said he was a master strategist. You have to begin somewhere. A true leader DOES make mistakes, & knows it. He doesn't sit upon arrogant vanity of superior knowledge. (Sound familiar?) Possesses humility & shares in the suffering & celebration of those they lead. Because if they do not, they themselves are no better than the tyrants that they oppose & contest. It's easy to cowardly sit back two hundred plus years later and strip someone of their actual accomplishments in their absence. Is that your "wish" of all the things you could apply that too, that's YOUR endeavor? Small goals, baby steps. LoL Well, no one ever claimed you were a good leader either, you have to start somewhere. 🤏😘

[@ZIEMOWITIUS]

He was no tactical genius, but never claimed to be himself and didn't seem to be regarded as such in his day. He was made Commander in Chief of the Continental Army, which is, as is usually the case with the top ranking general in most armies, is mostly an administrative/organizational role. For example, General Marshall in WWII was Chief of Staff of the army, outranking both MacArthur and Eisenhower, and he spent most of the war in Washington D.C. overseeing the whole war, dealing mostly in logistics and broad strategy, not smaller scale tactical decisions. The top guy usually isn't personally leading armies in the field, he's overseeing the whole thing. In that regard, Washington was the exception because he did personally lead troops in the field. He was, however, probably the best man for the job that the Continentals had available since he was an excellent organizer and leader. He was no tactical chess master, but I wouldn't say he was incompetent either which some try to argue. He had a handful of battlefield victories under his belt against the British Army, which was usually better equiped, better trained, and better led than his own.

[@jasonrusso9808]

@@ZIEMOWITIUS what branch did you serve with? Did you ever notice in your personal life that people do not desire to be corrected. As book smart as you are there's going to be times where you'll turn people off & away. Almost if not entirely to the point where they'll have no desire to converse with you. And behind your back they talk shit.

[@MattCellaneous]

You mix your terms. Washington was a fine battlefield tactician. As physically brave as any man ever was. As a strategist he was middling, but his Superior command of his own ego allowed him to implement the strategy of more capable men, and in that way leading to a strategic victory. And Washington's strategy was always to keep the Continental army in existence above winning victories, that was Washington's strategy and it proved to be the war-winning one for which he gets credit. This video is surface level conversations that is so cursory as to nearly be false.
