The "stay out of entangling alliances" advice from Washington was never intended to be a permanent isolationism. His view was that the nascent republic was in its infancy, and weak to most of the nations of the world. So, he advised, stay out of foreign entanglements for a while (not forever) until we're in a stronger position with enough power and self sufficiency.

It was definitely the taxes, but it was also the fact that the Americans were being taxed without having a voice in Parliament. Hence the, “No taxation without representation” war cry. When I was in school, I was kind of shocked to learn that the Revolutionary War isn’t really taught in British schools. It seemed like such a monumental time in both our histories.

Same old story. A bunch of rich people that didn't want to pay taxes. It's very American to think we were that important but this conflict was only a small part of colonial Britain. India and the Caribbean Islands were the real prizes and when Britain realized that they would still get all the trade from the American colonies without having to spend all of their resources to protect us they stopped fighting. The Americans didn't win a war and had to try to fight it again in the war of 1812 which was another loss.

interesting that you mentioned divine intervention in your part 1 reaction. There's a story that has become sort of an urban legend I guess, that George Washington had told another officer that during the difficult days at Valley Forge, George was praying a lot and he was paid a visit from an angel/spirit. The angel said “Son of the Republic,” “listen and learn,” and then proceeded to show Washington visions of the future American, including the outcome of the Revolutionary War, and the rise of the United States to take a place among the other great powers in the world. The angel/spirit talked about the ills of slavery (an “ill-omened spectre”) and showed a vision of the coming of the Civil War in the future for america. George Washington told the officer that he saw the vision of Americans who “set themselves in battle against each other.” I think in total the angel supposedly showed Washington 3 visions of the future for america, including the vision that America would win the Revolutionary War, which gave Washington a great boost of encouragement because at that time, he thought they were going to lose. Anyway, no one can be conclusive as to whether or not this story is true, seeing as it was not recorded down by Washington himself. The story was passed through word of mouth and written down by others during that time. Could be true or could be just an urban legend. Nonetheless, it's an interesting story to me, and even more interesting because it was my mother who informed me of this story, and she didn't even grow up in america and I did haha.

When Washington crossed the Delaware they couldn't talk because they didn't want their voices to carry and alert the British. Apparently the last thing Washington said before they shoved off was "dammit man, get your fat ass in the boat before you swamp it" 4:30 "So he sent Howe a dingle-dongle..." 8:40 It's crispy funny you mention that because after this Britain actually does seem to have learned a lesson. A few decades later a similar chain of events seemed to be starting in Australia and the British took a far less heavy handed approach. In fact, the colonization of Australia is likely a consequence of the revolution. Losing North America renewed British colonial ambitions in Asia and Oceania 10:10 It's pretty sad what happened with the Iroquois. Early on relations between them and the colonists had been very good and our own system of government is heavily inspired by the Iroquois Confederacy 14:45 "All warfare is based on deception.

I think a big part of the conflict stemmed from the system of Salutory Neglect. One of the incentives for colonists to go to America was that system. Britain didn't give the colonies representation in parliament, but that was okay because they didn't levy taxes on them and let them run their affairs pretty much however they wanted. Then the Seven Years War happened and well, you saw the videos. It wasn't even the taxes that were so bad, it was that taxes were being levied, but the colonies didn't have representatives in parliament. So they were being taxed, but they had no say in the taxation or in what was done with the money.

What should be known is that the Yanks probably couldn’t take the full brunt of the British Army, but the Brits were preoccupied with protecting their colonies in places like India, which were much more profitable at the time. India was on the verge of revolt, and the French and Spanish in Europe posed a more significant threat to the British homeland.

Worth noting that WHILE the American Revolutionary War was being faught, slavery was still legal in the UK. There were those fighting to end the slave trade in the UK, but the law didn't change until 1807, a full 31 years after the American Revolution started. (The movie, Amazing Grace, is a beautiful film about ending the slave trade in the UK. Watching the movie did lead me into a rabbit hole of reading about the key political players who fought for it such as William Wilberforce, William Pit, and Thomas Clark.) The UK used politics to change their laws regarding the slave trade. Over 50 years later, the US used war to change our laws regarding the slave trade, states' rights, etc. starting the US Civil War in 1861 and ending it in 1865.

He directed most British activities afterward from his base in New York, and played a role in negotiating Benedict Arnold's change of allegiance. Following Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown, he was replaced by Guy Carleton.

As a commercial power, Britain usually had money to pay foreign troops to fight on its side and help even the numbers against their French foe; this was common during the Napoleonic wars. London resorted to this early in the American Revolution as opinion was divided in Britain was to whether the war was even necessary. The Government really wanted crack Prussian and Russian troops, but Frederick the Great and Catherine the Great pretty much laughed at the idea (Frederick even charged custom duties on mercenary troops passing through Prussian land, as he said they were mere cattle being sent to slaughter), so they had to accept second rate troops from second rate German states.

The Brit Empire treated their own subjects (Americans) as they would other "colonies". Such as India, Aden (Oman), British Honduras (Belize), etc. But the Americans weren't conquered peoples, they were up to the point of revolution, English men and should have been afforded every right as any other subject of the crown. Their hubris is their downfall. Later, that same hubris resulted in the War of 1812 (I have no idea what it's called in the UK). It was actually argued on a military forum that the fledgling US didn't actually win the War of 1812... that it was a draw. True, but for us a draw was a win. The Brits quit "impressing" our sailors and basically left us alone. This and the earlier exploits of John Paul Jones introduced the idea and doctrine of a strong US Navy and subsequent US Marine Corps. The hubris of the royal court didn't appear again until the American Civil War when Britain attempted to ally with the Confederacy. Fail.

Britain tried to make the Colonies buy only from British merchants causing the prices to be much higher than from the other European powers. In the Case of Sugar/Molasses for making rum, the British merchants charged more than 5x what the French Caribbean colonies charged at some points. The British Merchants and Aristocracy loved this government forced monopoly, and the Parliament like the large taxes on the overpriced goods. The ~2 million colonists had 0 representatives in the Parliament, while the ~6 million in the UK did. This meant no realistic way for the colonies to get their side represented. Boycotts, bribing custom officials, and straight ignoring the sugar act was the way to go. It normalized ignoring the Crown in the colonies, due to the absurdity of the price differences, which some in the UK parliament did point out.

The methods used for spying in that war was pretty brilliant. I highly recommend that show if you're interested in learning more about this time period. Also, taxation was just one of the issues.

Extra Credits (before they went crazy) mentioned this in their Bolivar series.

It wasn't exactly the *amount* of the taxes imposed that created the rancor - particularly in Boston, which was the hornets nest of revolutionary philosophy. It was rather, that colonists had built the colonies into a viable, self sustaining entity with little direct help from the Crown. They were expected to demonstrate fealty without sharing the tax burden with other British subjects. Finally, they held no right of representation in Parliament. It's for that reason that I take issue with the so-called Tea Party caucus of American politics. They've co-opted the meaning of our original grievance and turned any legitimate effort to utilize public funds into tyranny worthy of Mad King George - or Karl Marx.

@@kabirconsiders The short version is, yes, they do exist - however in radically different form to the original intent. A movement, originally meant to be a grass roots effort to rid American politics of pervasive corporate influence (absolutely noble, in my view), was hijacked by corporate influence, perversely enough. Careful examination of the origins of Tea Party funding reveals that the money trough starts with the billionaire class bent on creating tax loopholes for large corporations, and removing government oversight and regulation of private industry. Of course, to do this in the open would be crazy... So the billionaire class recruited religious fundamentalists, gun-crazy "patriots", and any number of other elements of the fringes of the American right wing. Essentially, the billionaire class created and exacerbated a culture war. An issue comes up which has got precious little to do with the business of running government. The war rages and more billionaire-friendly tax legislation or deregulation sneaks through Congress. In the meantime, the people being fleeced, both left and right, argue over whether a pre-op trans woman can take a shit in a woman's public toilet, or a homophobic pastry chef in Indiana can deny a gay couple their dream wedding cake. If it weren't so tragic, it would be hilarious. Armando Ianucci on his best day couldn't write scripts this ridiculous.

Sorry, but you're wrong there. Vermont declared it's independence in 1777. It became an independent republic, separate from any state claiming its territory (both New York and New Hampshire had been disputing land grants here). Vermont remained an independent republic until March 4, 1791, at which time it was admitted to the Union as the 14th state - the first to be admitted after the original 13 colonies. Also, nobody could become a state until the US Connstitution was adopted. In 1777 the Articles of Confederation were in effect. The Constitution didn't go into effect until 1789.

One interesting detail that these videos allude to but don't dive into is that roughly 20-30% of the American population were loyalists and remained loyal Britain during this time. Especially in the Southern backcountry areas of South and North Carolina (and New York where Britain occupied for a long period). There was quite a bit of smaller scale bloody skirmishing in those places just between American rebels and loyalists. In a lot of ways it was a bit of an early Civil War within the Revolution itself. In my own ancestry I've traced 32 ancestors involved in the Revolution, 28 who fought for the rebels. I also have one ancestor who was in the South Carolina back country where people were split on each side all around and is on an 1782 letter sent by loyalists to Britain of "murdered" loyalists. Meaning he was a loyalist and likely was either hanged or killed in some other informal way by the rebels. There was pretty brutal mistreatment both ways within civilian style in-fighting.

No he was being sarcastic about Howe…poor British campaign planning for 1777 contributed to the failure of John Burgoyne’s Saratoga campaign, which played a major role in the entry of France into the war. Howe’s role in developing those plans, and the degree to which he was responsible for British failures that year (despite his personal success at Philadelphia) have been a subject of contemporary and historical debate. He resigned his post as Commander-in-Chief, North America, in 1778, and returned to England, where he was at times active in the defense of the British Isles. He served for many years in Parliament and was knighted after his successes in 1776.

Awesome video Kabir. 👍👍👍👍 I have to admit that I have never been able to wrap my head around the concept of monarchies. I know that most of the old monarchies of Europe and Asia have been neutered and hold largely ceremonial (constitutional granted) positions these days, but the idea that a single individual or family holding sovereignty over an entire nations and its people as a birthright seems the most archaic thing that still exists. Are monarch's subject to prosecution for breaking the law or for corruption?? I guess it depends. Some old traditions and institutions are still very powerful and go unchallenged even in this modern day. 😛😝😛 Do they perform any useful functions anymore other than officiate or preside over rituals??👑 👑 👑

Funny fact: George Washington was trained by the English to fight. When war broke out between England and America George Washington know how the English fought and used it against them 😂🤣😁🤪 another funny fact: the troops at Trenton were drunk or asleep when George Washington men got there. The English were informed but thought nothing of it until Americans attacked it was too late for the English. 🤣😂. The reason for the ice in the Delaware was because a volcano erupted in south America and blocked out the sun for a year. It's called a year without summer. 😁🇺🇸 England had the help of Germany, Americans had France during the Revolutionary war. Which is why France gave us the statue of liberty 🗽 for our birthday of independence. 😁 Fun fact: Benjamin Franklin had a son in England when war broke out and Benjamin Franklin took America side his son hated him. England fought against France for years when Americans fought against England France saw a chance to get back at England. 😁 You have to think about it. Before the Revolutionary war we thought we were English. England told us we weren't entitled to the British constitution because we weren't born on British soil. We were just servants to the crown. So we rebelled and then we were labeled traders. Just think if we were treated equal in first place America would belong to England but because England thought they were better we ended up in war. 🤔 John Paul Jones was the Capitan of a ship called the Constitution aka old iron side. The English fired on us and one bomb bounced off giving the ship nickname old iron side. When English said do you surrender. John Paul Jones replied ' I have not yet begun to fight ' The ship is still around today. You can visit it 😁
