About This Lesson
In this video John Green teaches you where American politicians come from. In the beginning, soon after the US constitution was adopted, politics were pretty non-existent. George Washington was elected president with no opposition, everything was new and exciting, and everyone just got along. For several months. Then the contentious debate about the nature of the United States began, and it continues to this day. Washington and his lackey/handler Alexander Hamilton pursued an elitist program of federalism.
Informative and very high interest videos. Great to introduce a topic or for use in a flipped classroom, very fast pasted some student may have problems processing information
