this guy is good but he's a chinese Canadian school teacher, so his take is skewed.
example a (from what ive watched so far): "the americans didnt have a good reason for rebelling". well sir, taxation without representation, forcing the redcoats into peoples living spaces, and murdering protesters is more than enough of a reason. there are many more minute reasons than those but i think his personal/cultural upbringing and bias is showing a bit here. will continue to watch/listen.
also, he speaks about manifest destiny incorrectly. manifest destiny was about white expansion westward, not northern and southern.
i find it very interesting when foreigners talk about "the americans" and fail to mention the black americans. i think people should specify white american instead of just "the americans"
