What Happened Immediately After the American Revolution Ended 

You couldn’t pay me to watch these in highschool now I watch it in my free time💀

Would love to see a whole string of "Immediately After" videos. We tend to focus on learning about what happened and why, but rarely - and then.

americans after the revolutionary war: “he is the messiah” george washington: “will u please listen, i am not the messiah”

I think the Founders - especially Washington - would be _horrified_ by how every aspect of national government has devolved into absolutist political factions, most aspects of private life are politicized, and that competing ideas are engaged not with conversation but condemnation The society we have now is a shadow of the Constitutional Republic that has sustained itself for over 200 years, and we're overdue for a major course correction.

I'd like to see immediately after the Civil War, WWI, and WWII.

The problem now days is that politicians have become career politicians and are more crooked now than 150 years ago, no politician should become a career politician !!!!

I was reading Washington's Farewell Address the other day and something that seemed so interesting to me was how much he stressed that we remain neutral in domestic and foreign politics. He detested parties, although he did admit they could be useful in certain times, but my favorite quote was this one: “The Nation, which indulges towards another an habitual hatred, or an habitual fondness, is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest. ... The Nation, prompted by ill-will and resentment, sometimes impels to war the Government, contrary to the best calculations of policy. The Government sometimes participates in the national propensity, and adopts through passion what reason would reject; at other times, it makes the animosity of the nation subservient to projects of hostility instigated by pride, ambition, and other sinister and pernicious motives. The peace often, sometimes perhaps the liberty, of Nations has been the victim.” He was one of the first advocators of American isolationism and neutrality and he believed that our foreign policy should just be trade and commerce-based. We could use our geographical distance from Europe to avoid their pointless wars. How things have changed.

Always excited to see a new Weird History vid!

My 5th great grandfather on my dad's mom's side, Alexander Harrison Sr., was actually a guard in Independence Hall when the Declaration of Independence was read and signed. It's pretty cool to learn I had a direct relative that was witness to that event. Genealogy really is a fantastic way to get in touch with the past.

"Country faced years of economic hardship, state governments were widely disorganised, insurections weren't uncommon and the continental Congress was toothless and ineffective", the more things change the more they stay the same

They forgot to mention the time George Washington led a charge against the redcoats using only a dodge charger and an american flag positioned proudly out the passenger window. 🇺🇸

The voiceover guy has one of the best voices I've ever heard.

American history is SOOOOO AWESOME to learn about. Thank you guys for this channel. Academia and much of entertainment media hardly ever covers this stuff or does so in a disgustingly biased way.

America was blessed early on to have 10-12 geniuses to help found our country. A fact that NO other young country in history has repeated.

Well they must have done something right, if we’re all sitting here on our phones watching this video haha.

What a fascinating insight on America after the war of independence ended, Weird History. I remember seeing Liberty's Kids of how the country was being impacted following the war. The hardship of the Loyalists, Shays Rebellion, etc. Man, this is good.

I want to learn about the California gold rush

John Jay got sick after writing 5. James Madison wrote 29. And Hamilton wrote the other 51!

Even being a US soldier now I find it inspiring how the rebels fought back so viciously over taxes and only a glimpse of an idea of independence, putting their lives on the line for an idea

Was I just stupid in school? Because I remember learning about Shay's Rebellion but never understanding the significance of it and why we had to learn about it. I finally get the context and closure that I never got with my teachers.

Here I am listening to Hamilton in my head and watching this video.

I love that I still get my history fix and still learn something new about a topic I thought I knew.

I love your depth and your humor while you bring up a weird side of history. Please keep them coming! Jim

"Benjamin Lincoln" Oh come on! That's can't be a real dude. Lmao

I don’t know if this is a thing already. But could we get a full video on George Washington? I would love to know more and you have a great approach.

So you're telling me after the revolution they didn't make a play called "Hamilton". I feel lied to.

Thank you for this interesting video. It' s interesting to note (not mentioned in the video) that most Loyalists were shipped off to Nova Scotia where they would be safe from retaliation. They left most of their wealth behind and their homes were auctioned off to patriots as a means to recoup losses during the war.

This was great..! Such a clear overview of important points to start from and study further from there. Amazing production quality by the way!

The battle of Yorktown, 1781 Monsieur Hamilton Monsieur Lafayette In command where you belong!

Little known fact: there were at least 10 significant battles AFTER Yorktown.

This episode was Great!!! Love a good real history of our founding, there’s lots that happened that’s never mentioned. Please do more!

You did not mention “The Newburgh Conspiracy” wherein Washington was offered the Crown to become King of the new country. which he readily refused.. in my opinion, that is when Washington truly became the Father of Country, making sure that one totalitarian regime was not replaced by another totalitarian regime...

Yeah from what I've been able to research there were people who were for the patriots but there were many people who remain loyal to King George the 3rd and the British Parliament but it seems like the vast majority of people didn't seem to care which side won.

Yaay...it finally happened! Thank you Weird History! Excited for more awesome videos😊

It is amazing the foresight and history that the founding fathers of the Constitution had to create a document that has endured the tests of time and its value to protect the people of this country !

To think, none of those founding fathers would know that 240 years in the future, they'd all have their own Wikipedia page.

Yea, we're still working on that "fully functioning" part. Love these vids!

Excellent video. It really fills in the knowledge void!-Paul

You forgot the part where King George came on and claimed that you'll be back.

A couple of important missed points: one Washington who had been at war off and on most of his life wanted to emulate the famous Roman general Cincinnatus and retire to his farm. More importantly, as often the case, you make it sound like the Bill of Rights appeared out of the ether. It was almost directly taken from the Virginia bill of Rights.

Thanks for uploading. Just in time for lunch 😎

Thanks for making this informative video. Glad I found your channel just subscribed.

Can you please do what happend immedlity after ww2

I'm a Canadian, and one of the greatest documents ever written is your Constitution. Nothing has ever come close!

Most excellent. Thank you for that documentation of our early Post Revolutionary History. I enjoyed that greatly.

Excellent video. Great information.

They certainly did better than the politicians we have on both sides of the aisle today.

In short: The world turned upside down. Down, down, down, down.

Thanks for share.

Quite informative. Thank you.

I know it's old but... Jhon Jay got sick after writing 5 James Madison wrote 29 Hamilton wrote THE OTHER 51!!!

Can you make a video about the war of 1812 ?

Great presentation ! Everyone should watch this.

Awesome videos 🤩

Well i'll be damned! Congratulations and WELL DONE! you are the first RU-vid channel to cover this time period with out getting insanely woke, or flat out lying about what went on... BRAVO! sincerely BRAVO! Now to be fair you left out a lot.. but then you only had 11 min... but please please keep up the good HONEST WORK... honesty is in short supply these days... especially where history is concerned. again.. BRAVO!!!!

Who tf is Benjamin Lincoln

Good job Weird History person/people!

Great informative video, thanks. I think one lesson to learn from it was after the war, there were many different opinions about what the country should become. It took time to debate ideas and all sides had to make compromises to come together and form the first model for freedom and democracy in the modern world at that time.

My relative, John Day, fought in the Revolutionary War. Sadly our country is in the state it's in now because of what happened back then.

Would like to see the Old West

As always, great video! If you haven't already, I'd love to see a video about the history The Great Depression.

Another great video :)

God bless America. We are the greatest country in the world.

I'm actually learning about this in my U.S. government class

Great video. I would like to request one on the American Trail of Tears. You guys made one on the Oregon Trail and it was very informative. I would like to learn real facts about the Trail of Tears. Thank you for your videos!

Love your vids. Great voice, too...up near a Bill Ratner level of quality.

The picture you showed was not lord north, it was actually British politician Charles James Fox

Great content, as always !

Love your videos

Very well done! Thanks...

Who actually wrote down these documents?? The handwriting is flawless, which is insanely hard to keep doing on the same piece of canvas.

I learn more from your videos than I ever did in school.

Yes! Make more about the Revolutionary War, man!

Always have loved your narration

Those first few weeks/ months after Yorktown must have been pretty scary, actually. The law must have been overseen by the local militias in alot of the rural places(which was most places). This rarely turns out good. local bullyboys settling alot of petty squabbles, I'd imagine.

Can you do a vid about the crazy nazi scientist experiments? Or Japan right after ww2

I love your videos!

Great video! Could you imagine actually living during that time? Crazy to think about...

Great video. I think the founding fathers and all of the patriots at that time did a fantastic job. They left us a republic if we can keep it. God bless America. 🇺🇸

Respect to all your founding fathers

Always great learning something new about our great country!!!

I love this so much!Too good!I need this for an essay

We all knew what happens after a revolution, another war “History is much like an endless waltz. The three beats of war, peace and revolution continue on forever.” ~ _Mariemaia Kushrenada, Gundam Wings Endless Waltz_

The founders did an amazing job. It’s incredible the wisdom and foresight they had.

Good stuff!

I was running errands and literally sat in a parking lot in my car to watch this. I can't get enough weird history 😁

I’m so early the English had just arrive to the new world before the America revolution 😀 great content good morning everyone hope all is well

The Founding Fathers rock!

Excellent content as always. First time making a comment, so I'll try to be brief. Hopefully I didn't miss it... could you make a historical episode of Chef Boyardee? I've looked around... and mostly get commercials. Hopefully I didn't miss yours (if you did). Thanks!

6:21 Shays Rebellion - great insight on Shays and Bowdoin who quashed the rebellion - getting blown out in a landslide vote following the rebellion.

Founding fathers would be terrified looking at the state of America today. They did ok for the time though haha

"Evacuation Day", sounds like a bodily function that happens in the hospital. Glad we came up with the 4th.

Very interesting , thank you

Very informative

"I remember what matters most.... ….WE ARE STILL HERE!!!" -Morpheus, "The Matrix: Reloaded"

What about an episode on Spanish American War or French & Indian War? Or a history of North Native Americans.

Before this video i never heard any information on what happen to the loyalist after the war. Thanks for explanation!

A TOTALLY AWSOME HISTORY LESSON!!! NOTHING BUT FACTS!!!

I would love to see the reactions of the founding fathers if they ever see the situation of the americans today.
