Probably was an alternate path in his life. He would be talking shit to the students and talking about how he's kinda hungover but has a cool story about this thing that happened in 1830s
Nah… I’ve thought that so many times. I see myself in Shane (I’m not nearly as like able) but I speak like him, make similar jokes. We are the same age, and we probably grew up similarly. I’ve thought about being a history teacher so many times and how fun that would be. …there’s no way I’d be able to survive parents and administration. I’d be too unconventional and I’d say something slightly too real and get fired.
For real. The way the British fought in the American revolution wasn’t stupid. Lots of reasons why that was one of the best ways to fight at the time. They were also mostly kicking our asses. We never would’ve won without the French. As much as I hate to admit it, that’s the truth.
@brendancurtin679 is this not the consensus in america? Like surely even the ego has to admit that without the french and also the spanish to a degree, the revolution lasts a few months at best. France spent trillions funding it to the point it bankrupted them, most the equipment, ships, training you received was french backed and paid for
The irony of him in another chat with Shane saying he hates when your stuck at a level 2 convo and can't get to a level 10 intellectually. Joe's a solid level 2 always adds nothing of value
He should honestly start a history podcast, it would be so entertaining to tune in to shane for an hour a month to talk about history. I suspect it may be more work than he wants to commit to tho lol 😂
As a 28 year old, history seems so interesting to me now. I literally feel like my father when I talk about who founded the central banks and how certain businessmen influenced wars 😂
Keep learning history and u can see the world's people repeating the same things and mistakes and the same lies. History makes the modern world make more sense.
In WW1 the Brits had "pal's brigades" where you could volunteer with your friends, team, whatever with a promise to be kept together. Problem came up after entire units were wiped out and every house on a street lost a member
I think Newfoundland was one notable case of a regional regiment getting devastated and having dire consequences on its community/nation. My country had a small population but a massive per capita contribution to the war effort but thankfully most of those sent overseas were spread out across the various forces and units of the British Empire, which is fortunate because quite a few were at Delville Wood.
Thank goodness for my old teacher Mr. McDonald for sparking a real interest in history and politics. Now I can really enjoy and appreciate Shane's stories with comedic effect.
I used to think the whole marching straight into gunfire thing was stupid until i learned why they did it that way. First off, those musket guns were incredibly inaccurate, so the only way to know you're gonna hit a target was to shoot 50 guns at the same time. Secondly, war is incredibly chaotic, and back then, they didn't have any radio's or loud speakers or anything. Just yelling and a horn. So the only way to be able to control your men was to have them in tight formations, and you didn't want them moving faster than you were able to control where they were going. Got to remember Generals did not give a shit how many men died it was only about winning the battle. Also, both sides back then agreed to fight like "gentlemen," so both sides fought exactly the same
@PodcastClipsUnlimited It's hard to imagine being a general at the back of a field trying to control 100,000 men with just runners on horseback. The way they did it is really the only way to do it. Once the other side turned and ran, that's the only time they would break formation. But sometimes, they would use that as an advantage. Imagine side A would turn and run, side B breaks formation, and chases. Then, when side A would get over hill or to treeline side A would already have 20,000 men ready in formation. When side B got in range side A would open up. Because side A broke formation to chase, it was damn near impossible for them to get back in formation with all the chaos. That would make them retreat. Side B wins battle. History is awesome
People overestimate casualties caused by infantry engagements, probably due to movies. Most casualties were caused by Calvary, second only to artillery. Staying tightly packed prevents angry dudes on massive beasts from running you down.
They also did it mainly due to the slow reload speeds of those muskets. They would get low and or rotate back so the loaded guns could get in the front and fire. When done correctly you could get near nonstop volleyfires of solid lead
I grew up with history teachers as parents so history to me is just the best story time. You get to here the stories of crazy journeys, wars, interesting crazy people….and then it’s ALL REAL. Like me learning about the mongol empire when I was a kid was so fun cause my mom equated it to me as imagine if we had aliens pull up tomorrow and run rough shot for lifetimes.
I get your point but the portrayal and accepted narratives of many historical events, aka 'history', are definitely not ALL REAL. There is a reason for that saying that history is written by the victors.
@ except if you do real research you take multiple sources and perspectives to find the truth. The crusades are an interesting read from the Arabs perspective and most western schools don’t do enough to highlight their extensive recordings of history.
Men stood in lines to prevent calvary charges which could decimate a line and cause a rout. A line fill of guns with spears attached acted similarly to phalanxes of older warfare. Additionally it was to account for the lack of accuracy, creating a wall of shrapnel and rotating the front line with men who had loaded guns. Standing behind a tree and having 1 shot per minute would be easily discharged by calvary.
Yep, also without radio or anything it’s a lot harder to issue commands to your hundreds of soldiers. Keeping them together was really the only way to keep an actual strategy together
Best comment on this video. You are correct. Listening to "bros talkin' history" might sound fun, but it's not critical thinking. And it's not critical thinking to think that everyone in the past was racist and selfish and dumb. They were not.
Shane Gillis needs to have a podcast where he talks about history the entire time. With his great comedic sense of humor intertwined of course. I would be a huge fan! A Gilly-Head!!
The thing I always find interesting is how playing a simple video game could change my entire perspective on how they used to line fight. It literally was the most effective way to fire at the time. It allowed order and communication while also providing the most firepower oriented in 1 direction.
Guerrilla warfare was invented in Spain, in the war against Napoleon's troops between 1808 and 1814. That is why the word guerrilla is Spanish (from Guerra=war, guerrilla=little war)
“If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.” - Abe Lincoln
@BobsVagene Yes. It was a strange, oddly pro abolishionist proposal to appease those claiming Blacks couldn't reintegrate into American Society as free people.
This is from a political stump speech in the 1850’s, not indicative of his actual beliefs. Lincoln was a proud abolitionist, and the civil war was almost exclusively about slavery.
I like how people who quote this always conveniently leave out the part in the same letter where he says "I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and *I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free.*" and the fact that he had the emancipation proclamation already prepared and waiting for an opportunity to issue it when this was written But no, lost cause imbeciles push the narrative that Lincoln didn't care about the slaves or what happened to them. Ridiculous garbage. He was anti-slavery his whole life and denounced it for moral reasons in several speeches. The reason why he sold the war effort as being done to "save the Union" is because it was the most unifying cause in the North, most people weren't abolitionists. If slavery was the stated cause from the beginning then the war is lost because several border states get thrown to the confederacy
The same principle of, "Your whole division was from your town" was the Pals Battalions that the British Army tried in WW1--entire groups (like football teams, neighborhoods, etc) would sign up and be together all through training and the war. After the First Battle of the Somme, where several towns saw every young man between the ages of 17 and 30 get killed within the first 11 minutes, they quietly stopped that program.
Line warfare is not bereft of tactics, platoon fire, fire by rank, forming square to counter cavalry, etc, it's just there is very little emphasis on single combat, you are just a literal cog in the military machine..
(15:50ish) There's a good book by S C Gwynne called 'Empire of the Summer Moon' that goes into good detail about the rise and fall of the Comanches. It details their lust for torture, rape and slavery towards most other tribes.
8:30, literally that one scene from "Bury my heart at wounded knee". The Natives were killing each other for land way before the colonist ever arrived.
Not really. WWI would happen anyway for some other dumb reason - it was a product of european power structure at the time, plenty of 19 year olds shot some people without causing any global conflicts.
People that think America won outright against England are ignorant. The only reason the colonies won is because the British empire were stretched thin around the world and the colonies had an opportunity to make a move.
Many, many stand up comedians started out as (usually bad) teachers who used humour to get by in the classroom. I guess Shane could always do that in reverse.
The American civil war was the end of napoleonic warfare and like shane said the beginning of modern warfare because of rifled gun barrels, high mobility through trains and iron clad ships. War changed. Shoulder to shoulder firing volleys ended.
The firing line formation worked when the guns were inaccurate, when everyone lined up and fired forward, it maximized volume of fire and as such, the chance they hit the enemy. Watch the volley fire scene from the Zulu movie to see what I mean. Once the precision improved, it suddenly made sense to not line up like that, but it took them a while to realize it.
Hearing Joe Rogan talking about 18th-19th century military strategy and not understanding the reasoning behind it makes me mant to rip my ears off. He's a great guy but here he has no idea what he's talking about.
"The Vietnamese were good at gorilla warfare because we trained them in ww2". We did train them. That's true. But the whole digging 1000 miles of very elaborate tunnels that were 100s of feet deep...yea that was all them.
Sorry, but Archduke Franz Ferdinand was killed in Sarajevo which is the capitol of Bosnia and Herzegovina, not Serbia! But Gavrilo Princip, the assassin, was actually Serbian!
On a traditional cannon ship they wouldn’t bolt the cannons to the floor, instead they would be on wheels (on tracks) and the recoil would push it back in so that you could reload it
FYI The British and Europeans fought in lines because they were effective. At that time in History, the most effective unit on the battlefield was cavalry. Lines were incredibly efficient at deterring a cavalry charge by the enemy because you could essentially create a wall. This is why historically once the you "broke the lines" of the enemy the battle was won. In addition, when you have a force as large as the British Empire and they are marching with thousands of troops they can capture key objectives by marching on the enemy and you can no longer defend a town or fort against them. Their way of warfare was to break your lines with overwhelming force and artillery and then resort to melee fighting with bayonets once they were close enough.
Line battles were about the lack of accuracy with unrifled muskets. The logic was that a single musket was probably gonna miss at 100 meters in the arms of a conscript. So, how about just have 100 muskets in a line? Surely, some of them would hit. And once you're close enough, you could charge en masse to route your enemy. But once firearms became more accurate, it suddenly seemed way less reasonable to stand in a line and wait for your turn to shoot, because you'd all be dead before you got close enough to charge.
The French won the revolutionary 9:32 war for us, providing a navy and a trained army to finally win the war. The English army fought in Portugal and Spain against Napoleon beating them back to France and the General in charge? Wellington.
An important reason people bring up the reasons for the beginning of the civil war isn't because slavery didn't matter, but because it wasn't the only reason. That's important because, for example, if slavery was the only issue, Texas wouldn't have joined the South. USA politics literally strong-armed Texas into being a "Slave State" when it joined, but slavery never really took off hard. However, there were a TON of economic reforms being done at the time. In fact, the economic reform was Abe's primary focus, he personally admitted he had no intention of going for full emancipation until the south rebelled. It wasn't until then that he actually went all in on emancipation. Most of the southern states were at far more risk from the economic reform, so they rebelled, and after the civil war began, Abe freed the slaves so he could conscript them to fight for the north.
He's correct about most of what he said about Comanche.... except for being small people. My grandfather was full blooded Comanche.... he was 6'5". I'm only ¼ Comanche and I'm 6'1". Most of that side of my family are 6 feet, or taller.
The British in the revolutionary war fought with Napoleonic tactics. Uniforms were distinctive and bright to prevent friendly fire and to aid in troop accountability. The smartest thing for any soldier to do was loiter near a battle but never engage so they made uniforms impossible to hide in.
Regarding WW1: it's a bit more complicated than that. Mostly it was about Germany growing quickly and becoming aggressive because they lacked the essential resources to maintain an industrial state. They were land-locked and so unlike the French, the Dutch and the Brits, they could only expand on the European continent itself.
4:20 it’s because the guns where ineffective unless you where 200 deep and all shooting the same direction. Think of like a shotgun. Just a 200 people shotgun.

Except none of what they’re saying is untrue.
"I dont know why it's funny."
Some shit is so dark you gotta laugh so you dont cry

Right on Shane way to mention the swamp fox 🦊 🐔🇺🇸
Dang. Midwits on the Civil War never ceases to be funny
I started laughing before clicking this video l0l
09:53 think the Word hes looking for is sinewy haha
Shane is a historian.
He has a degree in history
Id like to talk history with Shane gillis.
I'm genuinely impressed that he eventually remembered Gavrilo Princip's name
We need a Shane Gillis x Dan Carlin crossover
On a traditional cannon ship they wouldn’t bolt the cannons to the floor, instead they would be on wheels (on tracks) and the recoil would push it back in so that you could reload it
They were held using ropes
Ending it on “one teenager” from Rogan was perfect
FYI The British and Europeans fought in lines because they were effective. At that time in History, the most effective unit on the battlefield was cavalry. Lines were incredibly efficient at deterring a cavalry charge by the enemy because you could essentially create a wall. This is why historically once the you "broke the lines" of the enemy the battle was won.
In addition, when you have a force as large as the British Empire and they are marching with thousands of troops they can capture key objectives by marching on the enemy and you can no longer defend a town or fort against them.
Their way of warfare was to break your lines with overwhelming force and artillery and then resort to melee fighting with bayonets once they were close enough.
2:21 if I'm in war I want Shane to be with ne😂😂
2:30ish... That whispering b.s that Joe does drives me nuts..NUTS 😂
I think history and tactics are the best subjects to show people exactly what the dunning kruger effect is.
THE SIMSONS SHHH. NICE I LIKE IT
Line battles were about the lack of accuracy with unrifled muskets. The logic was that a single musket was probably gonna miss at 100 meters in the arms of a conscript. So, how about just have 100 muskets in a line? Surely, some of them would hit. And once you're close enough, you could charge en masse to route your enemy.
But once firearms became more accurate, it suddenly seemed way less reasonable to stand in a line and wait for your turn to shoot, because you'd all be dead before you got close enough to charge.
Cool, good to know. Thanks!
The French won the revolutionary 9:32 war for us, providing a navy and a trained army to finally win the war. The English army fought in Portugal and Spain against Napoleon beating them back to France and the General in charge? Wellington.
An important reason people bring up the reasons for the beginning of the civil war isn't because slavery didn't matter, but because it wasn't the only reason. That's important because, for example, if slavery was the only issue, Texas wouldn't have joined the South. USA politics literally strong-armed Texas into being a "Slave State" when it joined, but slavery never really took off hard. However, there were a TON of economic reforms being done at the time. In fact, the economic reform was Abe's primary focus, he personally admitted he had no intention of going for full emancipation until the south rebelled. It wasn't until then that he actually went all in on emancipation. Most of the southern states were at far more risk from the economic reform, so they rebelled, and after the civil war began, Abe freed the slaves so he could conscript them to fight for the north.
Dam I would love to have some beers with this man and have a history lesson

They might teach you how to spell while your at it.
They got horses, then they columbined out is fucking wild. accurate but wild.
Shane going off about historical events as a narrator would sell
He's correct about most of what he said about Comanche.... except for being small people. My grandfather was full blooded Comanche.... he was 6'5". I'm only ¼ Comanche and I'm 6'1". Most of that side of my family are 6 feet, or taller.
Maybe you’re just lucky😳
or hes full of s
My Algonquin great-grandmother was 6'4" lol. I'm 6'4".
There’s zero chance your grandfather was 100% Comanche. That’s not how genetics work.
Historically the Comanche were known for being shorter. Quanah Parker was known for being a head taller then most of his tribe and he was around 6’
The British column wasn't people. It was a machine made of people. It moved forward and threw lead downrange. It was extremely effective.
What were they watching at 3:00?
A scene from "the patriot". On a battlefield a cannonball takes a bounce and takes off a guys head.
It's where this downsyndrome gentleman learned history apparently.
The British in the revolutionary war fought with Napoleonic tactics. Uniforms were distinctive and bright to prevent friendly fire and to aid in troop accountability. The smartest thing for any soldier to do was loiter near a battle but never engage so they made uniforms impossible to hide in.
Also the red was to hide the blood maybe
Now I need a Shane and the fat electrician video where they just ping pong history facts off of each other
The British walking was a stare down competition but with bullets.
Regarding WW1: it's a bit more complicated than that. Mostly it was about Germany growing quickly and becoming aggressive because they lacked the essential resources to maintain an industrial state. They were land-locked and so unlike the French, the Dutch and the Brits, they could only expand on the European continent itself.
4:20 it’s because the guns where ineffective unless you where 200 deep and all shooting the same direction. Think of like a shotgun.
Just a 200 people shotgun.
It makes sense that musket troop lines formed. When it takes several minutes to reload, maybe a phalanx mindset wouldn’t be the worst
