Who was Noah Webster? - Drive Thru History with Dave Stotts

[@TheVCRTimeMachine]

As one of my history professors likes to say, "Noah Webster wasn't a tool; He was the whole shed."

[@PigIA]

Noah Webster is my grandpa. Hi grandpa!

Where do you get those teath

This video was made in 0ctober 16, 2005 , Amazin. I was five years old.

Noah Webster is my great great great great great great great great great grandfather, and recently I was digging through an old box. I found baby pictures of some of the Websters.

[@xplorva]

+Carefree Mofo We're related...lol. I'm descended from the Websters and Mygatts on Noah's father's side and from the Bradfords and Steeles on his mother's side. He was my 1st cousin, 8x removed.

[@xanderb45]

I’m am too he is my distant cousin

[@justinamarina3774]

Wow; nine generations!

[@Red_Karen]

I to am related to all of you it seems

[@PigIA]

Hi my cousin! I am also a descendent of Webster. I didn’t know it was so common lol!

So, the vid was shot in 2005 and only now been uploaded on you-tube? Looks like you, guys been busy...

[@raeisthe41]

Nope I thought “2005 was about 12 years ago…” nope

[@PigIA]

So if Noah Webster is the father of the American Dictionary and Noah Webster is my grandfather, does that mean the American Dictionary is my uncle?

[@PigIA]

@@nourhanechr1016 why would I be lying tho?

[@justinamarina3774]

Dave I commented on another site, but I really like the Ben Franklin outfit with the swim fins. Stylish dude, could start a trend, or keep strangers away :-) lol.

Good Stuff

[@theutopianoutopioan464]

Noah Webster probably was against American non-rhoticity. He probably prescribed how Americans are to speak, and I bet, according to Webster that means thou shalt not drop your "R's"

[@Ruthbxny]

Great show.!

[@ricardo6023]

This is great

[@LalalablahlalaRoblox]

at the end i kinda thought i heard batman music but ok

[@walterdebnam8021]

Where did you get those teeth, I want to get some. A great teaching aid... Possibly.

America is not a country America is a continent

[@kveldulfpride]

Our current 'spirit' of the times often trivializes meaning for the sake of brevity; it does a disservice for both listener and speaker, writer and reader; what could have been compiled in a sentence now becomes an annoying collage of words.

[@xpeasantxbtwd1894]

[@SerJahPhoto]

Great job, anyway...

[@Lellobeetle]

Sub for the great humour.

[@zemaria847]

Well, whoever he was I don't like his definition of the word BLACK. He was clearly someone highly committed to the interests of America.

[@PigIA]

As a descendent of Webster, he was liberal for his time. He was just a man or his time. As a descendent of Webster I am sorry if you were offended

[@carlosdanli9389]

@@PigIA you don't need to apoplogize. You said it correctly. He was a man for his time. I'm Latino, a mestizo of Spanish and Indigenous Mayan blood. I will never apologize for any of my ancestors. They all did great things and bad things. I honor their greatness and learn from their mistakes. They were men and women of their times, not our times

[@ginamcknight8115]

Horrible presentation.
