War of 1812: Starting America's Dumbest War | Animated History 

WW1 was a big fat mess and the US had no business invading Iraq either time.

Vietnam was a dumpster fire. We had no business getting involved in tht pointless war

Idk how I feel about your depiction of Native Americans 😕

While I've tried to "take the piss" as the British would say with everyone involved, I've tried to have Tecumseh and crew come out the most unscathed. Considering that the War of 1812 was most destructive to the indigenous people more than anyone else, I tried to make the humor presentation at the expense of the oppressors, not the oppressed. Punch up, not down. When the self- promoting Harrison calls them savages, the audience is meant to see this as damning of Harrison's character and not of the people he's talking about. At least, that's my intention.

@@DrawnofHistory fair enough

I've wanted to do that joke for years

Thank you for showing me this cool channel

lol

Two of my fav RU-vidrs 😍😍😍

Nah the best part was when France told America about the whole cutting off heads thing, and there is also the part where King Loius is decapitated by the mob AWESOME, or the last scene, also William Henry Harrison had an awesome voice here I wonder where it came from...?

Typical Napoleon lol 😂

You're right

I was just thinking that!! Only 2k views??

He's no Oversimplified.

Agreed!

Amen and Goddamn👍

Helps me too

Oversimplified releases new video like 4 days after you comment this

Dude...... Uncool

@@LynTheAce 3 months now since a video now :(

these are better than oversimplified

Will do. Thanks for coming over

Same here 😂😊🤙🏼

He also lent his voice, too!

The foreshadowing is gonna get worse in part 2

Napoleon's straight mafia there

@@DrawnofHistory Well Napoleon was born on Corsica.

Im hoping. If you know someone who would like this, please share it.

Thanks, glad to have you aboard.

Happy birthday Mrs. Skiba

I concur. Just don't do it on edpuzzle or steam it. Have them watch individually. i need the watch time. 😉

Kind of difficult to show it in class with the unnecessary curse words :(

i was gonna write a long response to *someone* in this reply section, but all i'll say is this: these videos aren't really meant for schools anyway, why would strong language be contained within if it was for that market?

Please no, kids are misinformed enough as is. The intro regarding the revolution glosses over very key and important points. Taxes, the colonials were ok with paying taxes provided they had representation in parliament. For Pete's sake the motto wasn't no taxation it was no taxation without representation. The arms of the militia was not primarily meant for shooting at fellow Brits, they were for defending themselves because the British regulars were not always available. The issue with tea, the colonials wanted to be able to trade with more then just other Brits. This maybe humorous, but do not rely on this if you want the real story.

Because animated videos take fooooooorrrrevvveer to make and this channel is relatively new so there's only a few vids.

@@DrawnofHistory I like it though! Keep up the amazing work.

That's a pretty awesome compliment. I'll gladly take it and glad to have you aboard.

Getting ready to release part 2 next week. Subscribe in the meantime

Yeah Calhoun was having a bad day when they took that picture

My attempt at an arrested development level joke

Oddly, I was looking for four light sources.

I always love Mr Beat's deadpan delivery

It gets slightly easier if you restrict the choices to declared wars only.

@@DrawnofHistoryhush we call everything police action now. We never had a war. We never had a war. We never had a war. We never had a war. We never had a war.

*Whiskey rebellion intensifies* (it was nearly a second american revolution lmao)

Coffee my man, pronounced caw-fee

Tea? That is a VERY odd way to spell fish food.

Yeah, not much has changed since then

Thank you

I was pretty pumped too

Part 2 is either this week or next

Mr Beat and I go way back. So glad to see all his success.

@@DrawnofHistory that’s cool and very nice

And thank you for heading over here

@@DrawnofHistory no problem I love history

Stick around, I get into the slavery aspect in the upcoming part 2

@@DrawnofHistory Looking forward to it!

Also the enslavement of us sailors at the hands of the British navy.

It was an opportunistic war to attack the border indians who were rebelling. Just like the french and indian war.

Thanks. 1812 part 2 should be ready next week.

There is little basis to the widespread myth that civilians without any seafaring background were randomly seized from home, country lane or workplace by press gangs or that the latter were employed inland away from coastal ports. The power of the Impressment Service to conscript was limited by law to seafarers, including merchant seamen, longshoremen, collier crews and fishermen. From 1740, landsmen were legally exempt from impressment, and if a pressed landsman was able to prove his status to the Admiralty he was usually released. The US Navy also used impressment at that time. USS Wasp, Hornet and Constitution are all known to have taken British and Irish seamen, either from stopping ships at sea or 'shanghaing' drunk sailors in port, while USS Virginia impressed 30 citizens of Baltimore, an act expressly forbidden by Maryland law. Matters came to a head with the 'Little Belt' affair in 1811, when USS President badly damaged the sloop HMS Little Belt, killing 11 of her crew. Intense diplomatic efforts prevented turning the incident into war, and both navies issued orders stopping impressment from any foreign vessel. So the issue had actually been resolved well before the 1812 war started, though the resentment obviously remained.

@@dominicbuckley8309 There are 19th Century folksongs and broadsheet ballads about wives' husbands being abducted by the press gangs. And have you never heard of Peterloo?

I think if America was to win without France it would be by doing guerrilla warfare until the British gave up and pulled out. There would be no big surrender like at Yorktown without the European allies. But without Frances money contribution either I don’t think it would be possible

I hate when the French are Heavily overlooked from the American Revolution, as without the French the US would probably not exist or be as close to what it is today.

As soon as the French entered the war, the British priorities changed, due to the risk of losing the Caribbean colonies. Jamaica alone was worth more to the British economy than all 13 American colonies put together.

@@dominicbuckley8309 People forget that the american colonies were never taxed and were therefore completely worthless.

To Paccowell: I think there were roughly as much French soldiers at the siege of Yorktown than American regular soldiers (thus excluding US militias, that didn t participated in the fighting anyway). In fact, there were more French casualties (on land) at Yorktown than American ones.

I concur that the cause of the Spanish American War was less legit but as we'll see in part 2, for better or worse, the US achieved its goals in that conflict.

"You provide the pictures, I'll provide the war." - WR Hearst to his only press photographer on station in Havana (allegedly)

You found it unlisted. Ha. Very clever. Working on the actual war as we speak.

@@DrawnofHistory Starting another war I see.

Everything about the War of 1812 took longer than expected so why shouldn't the videos as well

Thanks for being one of the first viewers

Thanks. Check out part 2 if you haven't already and subscribe because the 3rd and final part should be coming out next week.

@@DrawnofHistory yep I watched part 2, looking forward to part 3!

Me too. Thanks

Like WWl, Prohibition, The Great Depression, WWII, and the Cold War

Pretty much all the oversimplified topics

Then don't keep thre channel a secret, share it

Could I make it before oversimplified does?

@@DrawnofHistory yes

@@DrawnofHistory I Got Another Idea: American Civil War!!!!!!!

That's like being half German, half Polish or half English, half Irish or half Scottish, half Scottish. Dammed Scotts, they ruined Scotland. Wait, where was I?

@@arutka2000 *Blinks in half Scott half German and half Irish*

He did a great job

Spain actually controlled it after the French and Indian War until it was secretly regained by France via the Treaty of San Ildefonso in 1800.

In Kenobi voice: hello there
