I think they’d be happy to see it. From their perspective, they wanted to meet Britain in the middle and negotiate. But hands were forced. But there was still even then an affinity for Britain, juxtaposed with wanting to be independent. I think how our countries bonded would make them happy in the end.
@@dkaik Even many of the founders were more than eager to rekindle relations with Britain. Especially John Adams and Alexander Hamilton. Those two laid down the foundation for the special relationship that exists today between the US and the UK.
@@Intrepid_Crusader1096 Yep. I tried to phrase it in not hard black and white. How we viewed our relationship with Britain then was for sure also a part of very beginning on the formation of partisan politics in our country, with those lines being drawn then. It’s fascinating to study
President Macron of France summed the Queen up nicely in paying tribute. “To you, she was your Queen. To us, she was The Queen. She will be with all of us forever."
@@euphegenia What was despicable? You frankly did not listen to her speech nor understand the time in history this took place. This woman earned respect throughout the world not merely because she was a queen, but because she greatly recognized the serious problems of the changing world, the horrible costs of war, and the wisdom to spearhead a future of peace while working to correct the horrible history which preceded her reign. World leaders sought her sage advice and guidance while she never took a political side whatsoever.
“I cannot lead you into battle, I do not give you laws or administer justice, but I can do something else. I can give you my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations.” Queen Elizabeth II, in her own words: Her most memorable remarks.
@@petonchiospataponchio366 No she didn’t. She made these remarks during her annual Christmas Day broadcast in 1957, from Sandringham Norfolk. The part where she says “these old islands” is probably a useful clue that’s she isn’t in South Africa. It was Margaret Thatcher that tried to cosy up to the white government in South Africa, and Elizabeth II who stretched the boundaries of impartiality, more than she did at any other time, to pressure Thatcher into not going against the rest of the Commonwealth and their condemnation of the apartheid government.
For those commenting on the raucous applause -- I think the historical context for it has been forgotten. The Queen started the speech with an ad lib joke, delivered with perfect dead-pan dry British comedic timing, which caught everyone off guard. A day or two earlier she was welcomed to Washington with a ceremony on the White House lawn. She wore a tailored purple suit topped with a matching wide brimmed hat, trimmed in white. President Bush (the first), much taller then she was, spoke at the podium first. He was supposed to press a pedal with his foot when he finished, to adjust the podium electrically to her height. He forgot. So she read her remarks with only the big purple hat visible. The press and late night comedians had a field day with this. Front page news. Dubbed "The Talking Hat" 😁. So here she took the opportunity to make light of all the hullabaloo in a very dignified, droll, and self-deprecating manner. No one expected this -- look at the faces of the audience smiling and laughing! The American and British press went even wilder over this than the hat incident itself!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks and God bless you for this historical lecture Man. I paused the video and read your comment before she spoke. While the first applaud was still on. So when she dropped the joke, it got me dying🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Incredible change! A British monarch addressing congress would have the USAs founding fathers floored. But it just goes to show how beautifully tied the two nations are, and how much respect is there between the two.
No what would really have them floored is is knowing that their republic devolved into a democracy. Something they were much more opposed to; as it’s ‘mob rule’ and not the ‘rule of law’
You can tell she was a bit overwhelmed by the Americans reactions. We loved her just as much as her people did. We might not even know the depth of her public service, but we Americans have always held her in high admiration for her love of country, her graciousness, and her devout service to her land.
@@TheoneandonlyMiscavage hi! I’m not entirely sure if you’ve kept up on modern events since the revolutionary war but since then the brittish have been our Allie’s in not one but two world wars and without them we may not have stayed a country. Also, the queen was bff’s with Ronald Reagan who was one of the most conservative presidents we have ever had. The monarchy has become a friend and a copycat of how we run things here in the US. They no longer hold a ton of power, that sits with their democratically chosen parliament members and prime ministers. I’m so sorry if I’m bursting your bubble by informing you that we haven’t been at war with the Brit’s for a couple hundred years, but unfortunately, it’s true.
What a difference it must have been for her speaking to Conrgress. Applause is not allowed in the chambers of the UK Parliament, and the Sovereign is not permitted in the House of Commons chamber. When the Sovereign does speak to Parliament, it's in the House of Peers, and no one makes a peep.
Hi dear, I hope you are doing good. I invite you to Islam, please study Islam with open heart and save your soul from hell fire 🔥🔥 before it's too late this life is temporary but hereafter is forever.
@@PeterJohn-hl3ox I am a Brit and used to live in Germany. I miss people from there but am still a Brit. Her Majesty was pure class and obviously some of your people saw that.🦍
You will be sadly missed. You went out like a boss. Over 4 billion people watched your funeral and it was full of scripture and worship and it was beautiful to see.
The warnings she gave here are real now. We simply CANNOT take democracy for granted. Despite being a monarch, she understood the importance of a functional democracy. Her life was a masterclass in service to that. Good night, your Majesty.
If you believe that her life's work was in service to preserving DEMOCRACY then the word 'irony' can be retired now and forever. This woman's greatest accomplishment was convincing the world that a profoundly unnecessary institution, which exists only to enrich itself and empower itself in spite of its subjects, was necessary in preserving British political sovereignty. In reality, every major country that has cast off their monarchy has been just fine and often times much better without having to prop up rich do nothings who declare self importance because of the family they were born into. The Queens #1 job has been to make the monarchy look good so everyone will allow them to keep living lavishly with servants and subjects and world leaders worshipping the ground they walk on. What other function does the monarchy have except to go around the world to convince everyone that they are still important? Would we tolerate this behavior from a corporation? Would you tolerate a neighbor who took a bit of your money and everyone else's in the neighborhood and lived in the nicest house and didn't work a job and made you and everyone else call them the leader? Why are we ok with it happening on a much larger scale?
She has defined 20th century in every meaning. She is a reference for many things in popular culture. Her death ended an era. The world is a different place now. I always respected her character. She was a real royalty.
@@shanes.1724 Ofcourse life goes on but they are just pointing out how incredible her reign was and how she lifted her country from the damage from WW2. She was alive when the first cell phone came out, when nasal sent a man on the moon, the Cold War, so many presidents and prime ministers, and so many more advances to tech as the world progressed.
@@noorghani5053 elle à rien fait votre reine e le premier ministre a tout les pouvoirs la reine à zéro pouvoir donc elle a juste vécu comme une reine en ayant zéro chose à faire mis à part sourire pour les média
@@scottwilson8258 Her funeral to me is amazing. Her faith led over 4 billion people to watch her funeral and it had scripture and worship seen and heard. That to me is going out like a boss.
“Some people believe that Power grows from the barrel of a gun. So it can, but History shows that it never grows well or for very long. Force, in the end, is sterile.” -Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
Only her majesty the Queen had ever received this kind of standing ovation. The most intelligent, powerful, wise, ruling with compassion and dignity . Wonderful works your majesty. Rest in peace
@@jshowers01 She was a true Lady and always respected the USA for saving the World from the NAZI terror, she also orders the playing of the American National Anthem in front of Buckingham Palace on the day of the 9/11 attack on the USA, it is on you tube.
But they always give guest speakers a 'standing ovation for that long'. There was no cheering ie ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oBM7DIeMsP0.html
My goodness me... I shall saviour this moment as I savoured each moment with my Mom whom I referred to as the Queen Elizabeth of South Africa... She gave our family honesty and integrety along with my Father through our struggling middle class life... ❤❤❤
I queued for 13 hours today to see the Queen lying in state and pay my respects. I'll never forget this day,in the queue I made good friends with the people in front and behind me, as did most people. No words can describe the feeling of entering Westminster and I never could have predicted it. The jovial and fun atmosphere of the queue changed so drastically. 90 years of service, 70 of which as monarch. She's truly the definition of remarkable. I'll tell my children and grandchildren about today.
Hi dear, I hope you are doing well. I invite you to Islam, please study Islam with open heart and save your soul from hell fire 🔥🔥 before it's too late this life is temporary but hereafter is forever.
Good for you! I miss The Queen dearly! Tell your grandchildren all about her. Show them wonderful documentaries. I love watching Royal documentaries with my family!
@@mikewalsh6168 didn't you hear woman voices right after the queen said that? There were some hidden people that day close to her and she was looking at them.
It was a joke! Context: Last speech she made, president bush (sr.) forgot to lower a podium after his speech, and since he was a tall man, when the queen went to speak on the podium, only her hat was shown on TV! Thats why you see everyone in congress laughing
Funny as an American I never thought I would miss the Queen like this. After watching this speech how can you not nowadays. Those saner more level headed times feel so close in our past yet so far from our future as things currently stand now.
@@fabiolimadasilva3398 Honestly I don't think any nation misses it's monarchy more than Brazil, I kinda understand why but it's surreal that most Brazilians I've spoken to are Monarchists (or at least prefer it over the current government).
Of course not because we have the likes of Margorie Taylor Green to look up to. Have some of the people of Georgia lost their mind in electing her to represent them? Sad and disgusting.
When historical Legends like The Queen pass, their speeches become immeasurably more powerful. Now we actually LISTEN to her powerful words - before, perhaps we didn't listen as much, we knew there would always be more - like the sun was always going to rise the next morning - the Queen was always there.
She saw it all in her lifetime. So much wisdom and knowledge regarding everything that has happened during her reign, she was as sharp as ever even at the age of 96.
She was a true lady through and through. A real treasure to the world and certainly to Great Britian. Her wisdom and intellect will surely be missed. May she rest in peace.
She will never be forgotten 🥺❤ Thank you Queen Elizabeth for being part of our lives, and for your service for your country and the common wealth. Rest in heaven Queen Elizabeth 😔💔
@@youarecreatedforapurpose based on you spamming that "I'm afraid there's no heaven for her." Implies you do, along with your Islamic preachings to greiving people. I'd say you do.

The Queen proved the might of soft power and diplomacy. Her mere presence and visits to countries brought about peace. May she be rejoicing in Paradise with our Heavenly Father.
The day she turned 21, she gave a speech to the people of the United Kingdom saying that no matter how short or long her life would be, she would serve her country or her family. The day her father died, she became Queen of the United Kingdom. Until the last time, she was 95 years old, opening a parliamentary session and her final mission was appointing the Prime Minister at Balmerol Castle. She deserves to be honored, praised, and respected by everyone around the world.
Served how? Wore a fancy hat and got driven about in luxury? Absolutely pathetic humanity is embarrassing for this, especially to somebody calling herself "queen" as if she's superior
HMTQ always found speaking in public an ordeal, but it was those little flashes of her personality, in this instance her wicked sense of humor, and adding a splash of color into the formula to give us, that glimpse into what she is like when she's not Queening. I have looked up to her and regard her as the rod by which the best of mankind is measured. After my own Mom passed in February 2022, I wrote to the Queen and was in disbelief when I received her response on Windsor Castle letterhead hand dated the 21st of April 2022, her 96th and ultimately final birthday. I think for this reason and my profound admiration for HM that I will always feel deeply connected to her.
She wasn't just 'our queen' here in the UK , she was THE Queen. I'm not looking forward to the funeral tomorrow but it deeply touches me to see the global outpouring of sadness and respect for this amazing woman. The last of her kind, where decency, duty, integrity and Professionalism actually meant something and was delivered continuously. Our Prime Ministers don't last for 70 weeks these days. The Queen surpassed 70 years Mush respect your majesty, for your loyal service to our country ❤️
Most of us here in the United States are deeply saddened by her passing. I plan to watch Her Majesty's funeral and celebrate the 70 year reign of an amazing woman. Long live the Queen
Her Majesty The Queen, always had a way of exuding such elegance and grace. She was, truly, a gift to humanity! Rest In Peace, Your Majesty! You will be forever missed. God Save The Queen! 👑
I absolutely love how much respect everyone had for her her voice is so soothing but words still so powerful and spot on.. power built by bloodshed is fruitful but never everlasting.. power built by reasoning will prosper R.I.P Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
At 8:43, even though she was the queen, you can see that she had what every God-fearing woman should be so blessed to have: a God-fearing man in her life (as, e.g., Deborah had Lapidot).
WOW!! Great respect for the USA in welcoming our Queen. Today it's 4 weeks since Her Majesty left us and watching this today is both sad and heartwarming. Thank you. ✨️👏👏👏
The Queen is a strong supporter for peace between nations and countries especially with the European allies. Parliament, House of Commons and Lords are to assure that happens. Speaking in House of Congress wants to honor our agreements and not support aggressive manners, defense is necessary. The Queen spoke very elegantly encouraging peace and love betwixt UK 🇬🇧 and America 🇺🇸. Beautiful way of keep praying 🧎🏽♀️ for our children and families sustaining peaceful COUNTRIES in East, West, North and the South. Well done 👍. 🙏🏽📖😇
Hi Veronica, I hope you are doing great. I invite you to Islam, please study Islam with open heart and save your soul from hell fire 🔥🔥 before it's too late this life is temporary but hereafter is forever.
What an incredible woman and also the great great great granddaughter of George III (King of England during the American Revolution) we truly live in the greatest democracy in history
What an awesome stateswoman and great human being! Boy, we sure need such a person here in the United States of America. She will be missed! Rest in peace and may the lord comfort her.
@@DaBoss-lj8pn Sorry but I addressed her as "stateswoman," not Monarch. You did! She served her role and duties diligently as a behind the scenes "stateswoman." Seems like the real acting Monarch was visible here in the USA between 2016-2020....the guy with orange nose and dumbo ears!
@@ramonmartinez5559 But she WAS a monarch whether you like it or not. We haven’t had a monarch in 250 years, we need no such person here. And we have plenty of statesmen.
@@DaBoss-lj8pn Excuse me but what do you call that knucklehead in the White House between 2016-2020? He was a wannabe Monarch, Emperor, Tsar, Potentate, or King! I'll take this madam stateswoman anytime over the orange orangutan!. There's your Monarch here in our country... just 2 years ago! And he'll want an official coronation if he wins in 2024.
The Queen was full of grace and Frankly speak her presence brought such a wonderful feeling of heaven on earth. I can literally feel the waves of love reaching over here from those aploses
I wish i could've met Queen Elizabeth and just to let her know personally to how much i respect her. She is and forever be a respected,beautiful,classy,royal,lovrable soul that is loved and adored by many around the world. Rip your majesty and may GOD continue to bless your royal soul. I love her beautiful spirit and humor
The respect everyone had for her is amazing we were at war with the UK not long ago only 216 years ago now 31 years ago we have a royal monarch addressing congress imagine being 65 and living for 31 more years it’s amazing they even cut off her speech to give her a standing ovation lol and not only that the fact she lived for 96 of thoes years and rained for 70 of them is incredible we will probably never see anything like this again potentially in history definitely not in our lifetime
It amazes me how serious The Queen is from all the services she has done across the globe by bringing all the Commonwealth Countries together yet has such adorable humor by saying "I do hope you can see me today from where you are." @ 3:06 as she has such heavenly words for us humans to even see this video of her speech 4 decades later! ^.^ I've been very interested yet inspired to study about her as an American and brings me joy to see how no matter where you're from, you don't feel less distant to come together as people to know how much she has touched all of us that feel touched by her! :-)
"Some people believe that power grows at the barrel of a gun. So it can, but history shows that it doesn't grow well or for very long". Very wise words. Someone should show this to Putler
@@bigtony4356 that didn't happen except on Russian tv. Putler did a lot of harmful propaganda. That's why he must be exterminated quickly and professionally
