US History Overview 1: Jamestown to the Civil War

Jamestown to the Civil War. Correction: Jamestown was the first successful ENGLISH settlement in what is now the United States. The Spanish actually settled St. Augustine, Florida in 1595.

Khan Academy being used as substitute lesson's by my teacher is why I'm here.

Im taking a united state history course soon! This gave me plenty of motivation and interest to be able to articulate all you have said on my own. I looked up information as you talked about time periods and found it a fun learning experience. Thanks for making this!

[skerchimp]

this lecture gave me more information, in an easy to understand way, then a week of my history class would have ever.

@volksline9 It was still after the war officially ended, and even though the losses where 386 British to 55 Americans, the battle did not change the fact that the US lost or the fact that the US lost about 15 000 soldiers when the British North American forces only lost 4 921 soldiers.

Sal, Are you saying there were two Treaty of Paris drafted in 1763 and 1783 or did they revise the first one?

[oooKABEooo]

THANKS ALOT... it helped me for my AP class

[SethuIyer]

Wow! What an Video Sal, Keep It up.!!

[rileygardner]

This is fantastic! The few things that threw me off 1) Texas independence had a lot more issues than slavery. It had to do with federalism vs. centralism and various rights. Not only slavery. 2) Lincoln died after the war ended.

But awesome video!

[Sineater]

Which a cool kind of presentation programm have you used?

[rerezhang]

I joined your program and i cannot vote on the coments, when i do it says: you cannot vote yet, please help!

I was just wondering could you make a video more about the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln, that would be great.

[RonVandeil]

In YouTube yes. :) Its just a matter of getting the facts, but I think there is already some videos focused on presidents called The Presidents. :)

[chissstardestroyer]

Not only those, but there were a bunch of wars in the meantime; including at least *four* "French and Indian Wars" so to speak, and in about 1676 "King Philips' War" that both completely wrecked the economy of New England and led to the demise of the Algonquin culture in the bulk of New England, and paved the way for the formation of New England as a major part of the USA.

You forgot to mention that many emigrated out of religious persecution. Also, many starved because they were on a communitarian system that didn't recognize property rights. I'm cringing over what you might say later about the civil war but I must cook dinner now.
