Another continuation of the mythology of Washington fun fact. From the 1750s onward, Washington (and other elites eg Jefferson, Franklin etc) was heavily invested in western lands, especially in the Ohio Valley. He claimed thousands of acres as a result of his military service in the French and Indian War, and he was part of speculative syndicates such as the Ohio Company of Virginia and later the Mississippi Company (big money investment. By 1775, he was already entangled in disputes with the Crown, which had blocked western settlement with the Proclamation of 1763. The Revolution (aka commercial war) removed the Proclamation Line of 1763, which Britain had used to restrain settler encroachment west of the Appalachians. Almost immediately, the new American elite began advancing their private and political interests. The tasks of building a new country were quite the distraction.

president Washington Strengthening Federal Power: His administration supported key initiatives that boosted the central government's authority, such as the federal government assuming state debts incurred during the Revolutionary War and the creation of the Bank of the United States. and Cabinet and Party Politics: He appointed a diverse cabinet and tried to balance competing political viewpoints, though he ultimately leaned on Alexander Hamilton's vision for a strong federal government. The clash between Hamilton and Jefferson highlighted the growing partisan divisions within the new nation.

It's not that the lack of a bill of rights implied these rights was good enough; its more than the framers didn't want future generations to read into the Constitution governmental powers that weren't explicitly laid out. A bill of rights implies that there are some form of rights that need to be provided for by the government, as opposed to being natural rights from god, with the gov only holding the powers that explicitly prescribed. Given the wild expansion of federal power, it's an open question as to who was correct.

probably celebrated the great new undertaking with a deeply satanic masonic ceremony.
everyone understands the founding fathers were wholly satanic, DC is a monument to the fallen angels and the statue of liberty is lucifer.
now the creation of the cherry tree story makes total sense when one realizes george was a mason, and thus, a liar in every aspect of his being.
no more myths, that's exactly what brought the republic to this terrible place in which we find ourselves now.

It is impossible to govern the world without God. It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the Providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits and humbly implore his protection and favor. George Washington 1) Washington held that all men are equal under the law (really believed it. 2) He held that our country (the idea of freedom) is in the hands of God's providence.

Fun Fact: Seventeen amendments were proposed to the Constitution yet only twelve made it to the final draft of the Bill of Rights. Of these twelve, only the first two were rejected. One of these, which stated that Senators and Representatives cannot increase their salaries during their present term of office, would later be adopted as the Twenty-seventh Amendment in 1992.

The French DID NOT support the American Revolution, except, maybe, in spirit. Actual aid came from the FRENCH KING, whom the French beheaded. Add to that the FACT that the French were simply murdering everybody, including, in the end, the very leaders of the French Revolution. Two revolutions had very little in common, except for the removal of monarchy.

No, George Washington was not the one who introduced or promoted using Mr President.
It was actually others who advocated for that, and essentially Mr President was chosen as a compromise between those like John Adams who wanted 'your excellency or your majesty, and those like Thomas Jefferson who wanted something informal and friendly.

Fun Fact: Washington despite being a Slave Owner knew that they were on the wrong side of History. So he in his will had provisions made for his slaves to be freed upon the death of his wife. Fearing that they might do her in ahead of schedule Martha Washington had them freed early. She would pass away three years after her husband.

Thanks. Good summation, but due to space/time constraints, not able to delve much into the causes of the resistance to the US Bank (Farmer's animosity to Banks) or the depth of the continued US dependence on the British Mercantile System Economically. Lots of interesting details, but that would be a series of videos.

Adams wasn't chosen by Washington to be VP. The Electoral College did. Before the 12th Amendment, whoever came in 2nd in the election got that job.
Also the capital was in Philly for 10 years after Hamilton got the Compromise through Congress. You can't build a capital city in the middle of a swamp overnight.

Fun fact, Alexander Hamilton was the first disgustingly arrogant New Yorker. He wanted the Northwest Territory to be colonies of the 13 original States. Fortunately Thomas Jefferson wrote the Northwest Ordinance in such a way to screw him over.

Noticed that you left out that A. Hammilton was educated by & a Rothchild toady. That being how he knew so much about banking, money creation and pushed for the BUS to start with. There were reasons why vice president Arron Burr shot him.

Good video but in mentioning the previous two failed generals you could have mentioned Wayne and his new trains standing army as well as the battle of fallen timbers where Little Turtle and Blue Jacket was finally defeated.

Reading on US history brings a single word to mind, vermins.
you just keep hearing of how other countries treat them with good faith and they just backstab them in the earliest opportunity(no wonder they support jews so much)

Good thing we got that Bill of Rights. The federal government operates far outside its constitutional bounds. No action was taken and no one was held accountable. Seems like that tradition has been handed down for sure.

I really liked this video. However, the Native American tribes shouldn't be called Indians (because they didn'tand still don't reside in India; and don't have any connection to the subcontinent.

Hamilton did not make the taxes, congress passed them and the president signed them! Hamilton may have been for them, but he had no power to set taxes.
This lowers the video from an A to a B class.

In the first few minutes you get it wrong. The VP is NOT a part of the cabinet. Adams as VP was not appointed by Washington, he was voted in, by being the person with the 2nd most votes for President.
