The Greatest Founding Father You Don't Know 

even tho he wasn’t the best tactician George Washington was a goated leader

Teddy Woosevelt 😋

Prof hoff's friend momma bear told a story in his stream about her grandpa having a heart attack at a baseball game and didn't want medical attention because he wanted to watch the game until it ended

Crazy story right?

George Washington of Course!

For anyone who wants some shade on Morris and Hamilton: see Paine's review of Morris's eulogy on Hamilton's funeral

They were all rich thieves! Stealing indigenous land. They even stole the savage government style of the Haudenosaunee. Liars and thieves all of them!!

why not? they both were born in the uk

"Morris wouldn't recognize Thomas Paine's american citizenship," George Washington and the rest of the government in the US told him to refuse citizenship partly because he was a citizen of France. Morris was merely the messenger i.e. ambassador to France and did not want to anger the current government of France. Morris was a stickler as far as the went and tried to please all sides. G. Morris does not deserve most of the rumors spread about him. Recent research has shown that those were indeed rumors due to people being jealous of Morris and petty squabbles of the time. There are two newish books about him out I'd check them out to see if you agree with their findings. One by Adams and one[two really] by Miller.

There’s a whole lot of nuance that made sense then but doesn’t now. And the French Revolution was a hornet’s nest of bad sides.

And the only reason he did it was because Alexander Hamilton dared him to.

It was in the video. How are you still not sure how it happened and whose idea it was?

Probably Hamilton

@@isabellaangeline2175 Maybe they didnt get that far yet?

Morris and Washington made up after Morris grew the balls to invite GW to some fly fishing.

He was also a ardent opponent of slavery.

In many ways he’s more famous than any of the other “founding fathers” - especially outside the US: Thomas Paine stars in the curriculum of every undergraduate Political Science course on the planet.

His opinions also aged the best out of any founding father

Better than the rest. Though Morris tried to be on his level.

he is not more celebrated because most of the Founding Fathers are not celebrated anymore.

Always a pleasure, sir.

@@DrawnofHistory Ah yes, imagine praising new yorks street layout today lmao Good luck recognizing where you are without a map. Otherwise great sh*t my dude

Awesome to hear his line is still going strong, and it's just me here making the videos but I'm not stopping any time soon.

Thats really cool

"BTW the way" means "By the way the way." Also you spelled "spelled" wrong.

@@DarkElfDiva 🤓

Touting your relationship with him but unable or unwilling to correctly spell his name.

He's smooth like ex-lax... through a cow.

Morris got w rizz

Thank you. I'm trying.

wow, that was my old profile picture

@@micahistory Oh wow! Thats so cool

@@DrawnofHistory Keep trying! Your videos are amazing! Have you considered making a discord server?

@@micahistory 🦷

At first, I just new the myth of how he lost his leg. Then I started researching and found out how awesome he was. He literally wanted to put into the Constitution that the only reason we aren't outlawing the importation of enslaved people now is because Georgia and the Carolinas are been jerks about it.

I'm keep making it until they start doing it.

I'll admit you got me there. Good correction.

Thanks. No offense to other channels but I wouldn't be interested in narrating with over still images and maybe 3 variations on an avatar. Then again, that's probably the reason it takes me forever to finish a video.

Me too. It took forever but I'm glad I kept it as a 1-parter.

I teach in Manhattan and my students are amazed that the names of the streets, neighborhoods, etc all come from history.

@@DrawnofHistory I don’t think anyone on my tree have anything named after them in Manhattan, but there are several of them that have shown up in the book I’m reading. In addition to the vice director who was a doctor and then managed his BIL’s tobacco farm on what is now the northern end of Central Park before getting into politics, there are my 11th great grandparents Anthony Van Salee and Grietje Reyniers, who get a chapter title in the book-“The Turk and The Whore.” Oh, and another 10th great grandfather is Pietro Alberti, the first Italian immigrant to Manhattan. The earliest arrivals in Manhattan on my tree were 13th great grandfather Guillame Vigne and his family, who were on one of the first two ships to arrive in early 1624. Sara Rapelje, aka the grandmother of New York since she had over a million descendants, shows up a few times on the tree as well. I’ve learned a LOT about NY history after getting into genealogy a few years ago! It’s really fascinating, and something I never knew before, beyond the myth of the purchase of the island.

Originally, I had just heard the myth about how he lost his leg. Imagine my surprise when he turned out to be utterly awesome. I knew I had to make a video on him.

Hey thanks. Me and my little guy are doing swell.

Cool! What are you writing?

@@tylerreynolds9013 I'm not writing anything. I'm trying to amend the Constitution. I'm National Counsel for Wolf-PAC. Trying to end the corrupting influence of money in politics. Come join us.

@@Sam_on_RU-vid oh, sorry I misread that. This wolf pac stuff looks great, best of luck to you

Anyone who's defending the constitution isn't the hero we deserve, but they're the heroes we need, thank you

@@spunktaneouscumbustion8109 Be the hero. Only you can save yourself. Join Wolf-PAC.

I'm glad I am not the only one who saw that. Fucking S tier meme.

Haha. Though bananas are objectively the worst fruit. Smell bad, feel bad, and turn brown when you look at them the wrong way.

Hi buddy! Glad you liked it.

Thanks so much. I'd love a TR video. I think we how much my scripts balloon up, that might be the first Drawn of History movie!

A T.R. movie would be great!

DAMN! A thousand dollars!

I love Paine's writing but he personally comes off to me like the guy hoping on trends and running scams. He would've been so into 2020 crypto pushing

​@@DrawnofHistorylegit funny if he were a 21st century man.

Grateful that the algorithm is showing some love

Nice. Now to make an even better one (hopefully shorter).

Kiss from a rose by Seal

I know right? He's amazing! He sounds a lot like you.... any relation? Lol

As fast as possible. Ha.

As A New Yorker, I couldn't resist.

You get the prize. First one to notice my favorite hidden joke.

@@DrawnofHistory yay

I hope I die in a unnoteworthy fashion

Maybe the algorithm finally looked me?

@@DrawnofHistory your channel is similar to some channels I watch like General Knowledge, SideQuest, RealLifeLore and more so that may be why. Either way I hope you hit 100k soon enough :)

It wouldn't be my first instinct in that situation
