The Taiping description of American Democracy made me laugh way more than it should have. The way that it sounds like they knew about it from a game of telephone. (which I imagine is the case)

The foreign power explanation is some of the coolest history factoid I've ever heard.

Britain being affected by the American Civil War due to missing American cotton shows how, even back then, global interconnectedness meant a civil war in one area could have effects even in places not directly ravaged by war.

Also, Go Victorious Army!

At Norwich University, my alma mater, in the dining hall, we have a massive two story tall painting of Fredrick Townsend Ward during the Taiping Rebellion. Very inspiring.

British men in a bunch of ships traveling from china to north america to fight for the confederacy is the wildest sh*t ive seen today

12:14 Is that a "The Ottoman Empire but it's Sr Pelo references" bit I see there? You, good sir, have great taste.

Ward and the Ever Victorious Army would make a killer HBO series

If I was Isekaid to the 19th century, I would be a filibuster

[gabagool]

I like this video a lot, it’s interesting to see these small blips of history that add a lot of depth to the conflict as a whole

[Guanaco]

1:23 NO WAY! El Salvador made it to the video. Im so Happy!

[iosebjugashvili]

Gordon of Khartoum as he would later be know is one of the most badass men to walk the earth 🎖️

[Henners]

11:26 - Ahh the great city of Lancashire, truly a marvel to be held up alongside the great American cities of Virginia or Colorado.

[joereilly]

Charles Gordon is also the man who defended the City of Khartoum in 1885, from Mahdist forces. He was killed when the city was overrun.

The Sr Pelo reference at 12:13 was perfect
