Literally met a guy from Morocco the other day & half way through me saying that they had the longest treaty w American out of anybody, he finished what I was saying for me. & that they were the first to recognize the USA. Was very proud for his country to have the longest treaty w the US ever. Awesome moment, would have never happened without the fat electrician educating me

[@LillithPlaysSims]

What an awesome person to person moment forged by pirates 300 years ago ❤

[@paulvamos7319]

👍😎

[@Cody38Super]

Would they have ever thought this many years later, over electronic media, internationally, we would still be talking of what they did that day?? That it would still bind?? Or we would even be meeting one another and bringing it up in person, today......?.....butterflies everywhere, cause and effect, causality.

[@TheDj347]

Dude that is so awesome. Feel the same as you too, I’ve learned more about history in this past year or so of watching Nic’s channel than I did in my entire academic career growing up.

[@scotthill1600]

@@TheDj347 school gave us the foundations, now it’s up to us as we get older to build on that foundational knowledge & expand it. Or you can drop out of highschool & that’s the furthest your education ever goes, to each their own. Most of us wanna keep learning, I certainly appreciate content that educates me. So yeah man, agreed back at ya

The Treaty with Morocco is still in effect and has lasted the many transatlantic stresses and strains for 239 years.

The US navy hates pirates so much in 2007 we saved a North Korean ship from them (dai hong dan incident)

[@lurkingedge]

"Marines wouldn't board with muskets because they're one and done." Firstly, they were rifles. During ship to ship combat, Marines acted as marksmen, firing from the masts down onto the enemy's decks. Secondly, we still do bayonet drill to this day. A Marine with an empty weapon is not unarmed. Back then, this left them with a six foot steel weighted brass butted spear club. And what if a Marine lost his rifle in the melee? Transition to cutlass and pistols. "Buh! But pistols were one shot!' Which is why they were also designed as eighteen inch steel weighted brass capped clubs to pare with a sword.

[@voraciousblackstn]

So you're saying guns were built different back then? 😉

[@raymurray3401]

Should’ve added the fact that because they were using flintlock pistols they would oftentimes carry multiple pistols as they knew they were more than likely not gonna have time to actually reload them during the fight.

[@Adiscretefirm]

In the modern age with every military using lightweight plastic assault rifles it's easy to forget how devastating a butt strike from a 5 foot long 15 lb rifle is. Not to mention the machete length bayonets of the time.

It doesn't matter what country you're from it's always astonishing to me how badass men and women were in the 1800s and early 1900s

[@raymurray3401]

It really is kinda crazy just how many historically significant events happened in such a relatively short period of time.

The Marine Corp does not need permission from congress and that's why the Marines are always their first in any situation.

Fat electrician literally started the “don’t touch our boats” meme

[@bobgable2691]

Casablanca makes sense now

[@Cody38Super]

They made the mistake of leaving us to make our way back to them. Like you said, they should have stomped on us while we were weak. However, they gave a chance to show our indomitable will for a second time in quick succession to the last. It would shape and establish our core identity as a nation and a people, what we stood for and would not stand for! Sic Simper Tyranus!

[@MikeF_44]

Don't touch the boats!!

[@xaderalert]

I might be a bad person, but I instinctively squinted my eyes a little bit when I read that...

[@lokibrux]

It's the Barby wars in a Barby world.....

[@tynancravy5589]

STOP TOUCHING THE BOATS!!!!!

[@DebAGP]

One of the best!!!

[@thatpatrickguy3446]

Another great reaction to one of the best storytellers in the world. 😀 And Mrs. Electrician? Savage. Love it. 😀 And, as I said earlier today on an older video, Ramage's Rampage for the best commercial from Nic yet. 😀And a hell of a great story too, as always. 🙂

Obviously,the Somali pirates didn't get the memo.. Capt. Philips Maersk Alabama April 2009

[@marcelrenes2435]

I don't want to be a party pooper but it was the Dutch Republic who first recognised the USA. Morocco was the first to sign an official treaty.

[@user-oh6sx7cp4c]

Which makes you wrong, if it's not official then you're wrong, which the Dutch weren't the first to officially recognize the US

For all of the shit that John adams gets, him becoming president is proof that the concept was possible. You had such different views being able to keep eachother at bay and make the country act when best possible.

[@bronsolo6941]

Why the reupload?

[@gar6446]

Hate to be pedantic, but the entire U.S military machine, not just the marines or navy have been used without congress approval in recent years.

[@trentenswett6306]

The Marines are directly under the POTUS to this day and are the personal arm of the President, it wasn't until the 1970's with the war act did the other branches get similar previsions allowing them to be deployed without congress approval due to the cold war and the threat of nukes.

Honestly it wouldn’t surprise me if they did it on purpose as a joke.

[@atiminthailand4531]

I like how when he talks about the war of 1812 he says it just ends rather than America loses. Haha

[@rg20322]

Uhmm.....did they? If Britain continued, they would yet again run out of money and fighting yet more nations that despised them. It was a no-win situation for both sides. Please also consider that when they signed the treaty to end this war, there was another battle going on in Louisiana called the Battle of New Orleans. This was 1 month after signing the treaty and the British were absolutely gutted.

[@atiminthailand4531]

@rg20322 America lost the war of 1812 yes. I doubt they teach you this in American history classes. You need to realise that the war of American independence was won by the French. The British simply had to give up their supply routes due to other commitments in Europe. In 1812 Britian was still the dominant force in the Americas and the colnies still had to trade at favourable rates to the British or risk another war in which they'd most likely lose especially after 1815 when they defeted the French. In was ww2 that saw the decline of the British Empire and its influence around the world.

[@rhianlangston5764]

Technically the US broke even. Britain was kicked out again, and Canada kicked us out.
