and today you AREN’T going to get a blow by

blow chronology of the American Revolution,

and you AREN’T going to get cool biographical details about

But you are going to get me not wearing any pants.

George Washington might have had slave teeth implanted into his jaw?

and while it’s fun to focus on metaphorically resonant details,

what we’re concerned with here is why the American Revolution happened

and the extent to which it was actually revolutionary.

Plus, for the first time in Crash Course history,

I have a legitimate chance of getting through an entire episode

without butchering a single pronunciation. [Wouldn't bet your Sword of Destiny on that]

So, intellectual historians might put the roots

but I’m going to start with the end of the 7 Years War in 1763,

which as you will recall from last week was

including British subjects living in America, who now had more land and therefore more money.

“Hey, since we went into this debt to get you all this new land,

we trust that you won’t mind if we pass the Stamp Act,

in which we place a fancy stamp on your documents, newspapers, playing cards, etc.,

it turns out the colonists weren’t so keen on this,

because they had no direct representation

in the parliament that had levied the tax. [Some things never change, eh, D.C?]

they were cranky about the Crown keeping large numbers of British troops in the colonies

And then the British government was like,

“Shut up we hate you,” [That old chestnut]

“As long as you live under our roof, [This old chestnut]

but eventually the British backed down and repealed the Stamp Act.

The repeal inspired a line of commemorative teapots,

thereby beginning America’s storied tradition

of worthless collectible ceramics. [atleast Beanie Babies double as cornhole

this only emboldened the colonists when the British tried to put new taxes on the Americans

These led to further protests and boycotts and most importantly,

The protests escalated: 1770 saw the Boston Massacre,

which with its sum total of five dead was perhaps

the least massacrey massacre of all time,

a bunch of colonists dumped about a million dollars worth of tea into Boston Harbor,

in protest of British government decisions that

actually would have made British tea cheaper.

that did not go well. [admittedly not your best work, John.]

But first, let’s see what’s in the secret compartment today.

it’s a gigantic teabag. [not touching that]

Bitter tyranny variety! [SleepyTime sure ain't gonna keep the fires

Like all Americans who love justice and freedom,

[You're harshing my Mint Magic mellow, Bro]

But I understand you’re quite popular in the UK

where the East India Company would periodically go to war for you.

I mean, aside from the fact that people choose to drink you when

there are great American refreshments available,

like Mountain Dew, [Hey, like on Mad Men!]

is that even though you’re stereotypically English,
