In which Mr. Beat, Robert from Reading Through History, and Cypher from Cynical Historian discuss Tom Richey's video comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler and Keith Hughes' response video. Why do so many people make such a bad comparison? Mr. Beat argues it would be much more accurate to compare Trump to Mussolini, but comparisons still fall short.

The 14th episode in a very long series about the American presidential elections from 1788 to the present. In 1840, the Whig Party brings Tippecanoe and Tyler, too, and Van Buren faces an uphill battle as the U.S. economy struggles.

The 14th Presidential election in American history took place from Friday, October 30, to Wednesday, December 2, 1840. Martin Van Buren fought for re-election during a time when the economy was not doing so well. The country was in the middle of a horrible recession began as a financial crisis referred to as the Panic of 1837. Due to this, President Van Buren was unpopular. But you know who was more unpopular? His Vice President, Richard Mentor Johnson. The Democratic Party actually refused to re-nominate him. In fact, they didn’t officially nominate anybody, although many wanted James Polk or Littleton Tazewell.
The Whig Party, meanwhile, was gaining strength, and learned their lesson from the last election, this time uniting behind just one candidate for President- William Henry Harrison. Not only was Harrison a well established politician, but, like Andrew Jackson, he was a bit of a war hero. Harrison’s running mate was John Tyler, a former Senator from Virginia.
Harrison was the first candidate to actively campaign to be President. His supporters came up with a pretty catchy slogan- “Tippecanoe and Tyler too.” Get it? Of course you don’t. Well basically, Tippecanoe referred to Harrison’s military victory over the Shawnee Indians on November 7, 1811 at the Battle of Tippecanoe. Because of this, the Whigs aggressively organized to promote him as a war hero.
But the Democrats argued that Harrison was too old to be President.. Many called him “Granny,”implying that maybe he was senile. The Whigs fought back by portraying Martin Van Buren as a rich snob out of touch with the people and Harrison as a man of the common people from the Western frontier. In reality, it was Harrison who was richer than Van Buren, but most Americans wouldn’t know that by the campaign.
The election of 1840 was more about image and less about substance. In fact, the Whigs were just fine if Harrison didn’t argue policy or about issues, because the country was pretty divided at the time. Instead, the Whig strategy was to avoid difficult national issues such a

Why is it that so many people get the definition of fascism wrong? Basically, because it's a complex thing to define, and it's become a word people use to describe their enemies in order to boost their political agenda or promote their cause.
Mr. Beat's definition of fascism: the idea that the group is more important than the individual.
Thanks to The Felt Show for helping me out with this one. This may be the first video about fascism ever that has puppets in it! Check out this Felt Show video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r8q_h7Hxxc

Yo, I’m Mr. Beat. In 2010, when I was a young lad, I began teaching World History at Blue Valley High School. Fun fact- that’s where Michael Stevens from Vsauce went to high school.
Anyway, when I tried to teach these poor kids about fascism, I had a hard time explaining it. For starters, there were so many definitions out there, and when I finally did find a definition that was historically accurate, it was ridiculously complex.
And since then, I’ve noticed that a lot of people confidently talk about fascism but apparently have no clue what it actually means.
Rarely is a word so often misused or mischaracterized. So let’s look at what fascism actually means. I planned on making a video about this awhile ago, but I held off after my friend Tristan from Step Back History beat me to it. That’s right. He beat Mr. Beat.
Anyway, he released this video back in October 2017. Tristan does a great job as he always does, but he mo

@Mr. Beat and @MrBettsClass team up to tell the true story of Paul Revere. According to Mr. Beat, Paul Revere was definitely overrated, and most of us only know about him because of a poem written decades after his death. #paulrevere #ushistory #americanrevolution
Be sure to check out Mr. Betts' video about The Pilgrims: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHKY_9RvRRA&feature=youtu.be
Yep, THOSE Pilgrims.

Paul Revere was born in Boston’s North End some time in December 1734. His dad, Apollos Rivoire, was a Huguenot silversmith who came to Massachusetts as a refugee after being persecuted in France. He later changed his name to Paul Revere, by the way, and so yeah, Paul had the same name as his dad. His mom, Deborah Hichborn, had deeper roots in Boston as her family had been around for awhile. They owned a shipping wharf.
So yeah, Paul Revere junior was the third of their 12 kids. He went to the North Writing School, but at 13 left to begin training to become a silversmith like his dad. As a teen, he was drawn to the West Church and the controversial Congregationalist minister Jonathan Mayhew, who did not hide his political views during Sunday services. Paul senior did not approve of this,
