The War of 1812: U.S. History Review

HipHughes walks you through the basics of the first declared war in US History, the War of 1812.

Thanks for the advice. I really wanted to do a five minute video just enough for context for my US regents course....most teachers barely mention the war of 1812, I did de emphasize the manifest annex angle, I know there is disagreement on the issue and perhaps I should not of de-emphasize
The accent I make no apology for, I love my horrible accents.Thanks again for your feedback. My videos have the human touch and sometimes I talk fast and hit bumps, the comments always correct my bumps.

I was impressed with this video, but not in the way.

I love the way you break it down. I wish our books were like this! 😶 I need it broken down!

The War of 1812 was the third chapter in the division of the US from the UK.  It crystallized the separation of the US from the UK - as in "you don't nick our sailors off our ships into your navy, nor do you stop us from pushing West;  we're not British and haven't been for some time" - but also the separation of British North America from the US - "enjoy your independence for all the good it will do you, but we're not signing up.  Ever.  We actually like being British."

Ill thank you for you pointing out the scroll mistake but I don't appreciate your tone. If I had to choose between a kid whose history teacher made the occasional quick your/you're mistake to one whom has to try to make another human feel stupid in order to point out a correction, the choice is easy. I replied with some humor you came back with more poop. Please go forth and have a wonderful life & I'll be sure to watch my your and you're because in the end YOUR right about modeling excellence.

You're a better teacher than my own history teacher. All I do in my history class is work, work, work. No teaching. It's like my history class is flipped. Homework at school, and learning at home.

Super dee duper!! Loved this so much. Doing grad level govt' and there is a ton to piece together. The host was terrific at break own and concept- pulls; placed ideas and framed "conflicts' in a logical and fun way.

I would have loved to have seen Dolly and the servant running out with that huge painting! "Crap, the house is on fire, what do we take? The gold? The bed sheets? The documents?" "No! Get the damn painting!" Great video!, this is one war that is barely discussed, probably because we lost. And most people think the 1812 overture is based on this war.... But it's :). I think you are finished with all the major battles now!

[hiphughes]

that was actually what I was going for.

[hiphughes]

Thanks. I put there as part of a grammar contest, which you are now qualified to win.... keep an eye out for a UPS truck, just make sure you have some dead rats cause its going to be hungry by the time you open it up. :)

I would love to use these videos in class, however, my district would be less than thrilled about the swearing in them. Major bummer, Mr. Hughes.

[dclaw]

You rock Keith thanks for explaining this war

[elanacooper]

I'm using your videos for all my US history questions
Now.

[ashleeb]

Man, I really wish you didn't swear in your videos so I could show them in my class. It's great, but I would have parents with pitchforks at my door if I showed them in my room.

[hiphughes]

I was aiming for five minutes so battles did not make the video. I summarized that after the Battle of Queensboro (WIndsor) we pretty much got our ass kicked.

[tanmanfilm]

Can't.... Can't we all just get along..

[hiphughes]

I disagree, I do believe that while there is a large part of partisanship and political war banging going on, the war was sold on the basis of national pride, sold on the back of freedom of the seas. Without the lynch pin, the War Hawks couldn't sell their march to war to the citizenry and those Dem-Republicans who were more moderate. Besides, its the answer on the state exam.... which I mentioned. But all in all, I am not disagreeing with you. Semantics.

The British stopped Impressment of American Sailors 2 days before the War Started.
