I previously published this question in this subreddit, and I'm really excited by all the answers! I'm planning video series to teach people about American history.

This is planned on the personal basis that a lot of people (even Americans!! I'm guilty of not recalling fun facts or even crucial details of some of our nation's founding..) don't know facts about the revolution, our rights, the Constitution or Declaration of Independence, presidential myths, laws, etcetera.

I believe that politics and history is important and I want to be part of a positive impact on younger generations that use social media - and present information in a nonabrasive and nonpartisan way.

I hope that someone out there has some ideas to help me along. I'm going to start with the above topics and see how goes. I will keep everyone posted - I have been doing social media since I was homeschooled in like, elementary school - and I've only ever used this skill to market startups and companies that needed my help with their product. It's time to direct my energy somewhere more impactful. I hope this Reddit post is received with the utmost respect and kindness to everyone!!

Personally, the American Revolution is just as riveting for me. The fact that a ragtag group of colonies, outnumbered and outgunned, took on the world’s greatest empire AND WON still blows my mind.

It wasn’t just muskets and battles. It was radical ideas: self-governance, individual rights, rejecting arbitrary hierarchies. Enlightenment thinkers, daring risk-takers, and ordinary people who decided they wouldn’t bow anymore. The sheer audacity, the debates in taverns and congresses, the fragile alliances, and how it reshaped the modern world... I could read about it forever. David McCullough's book 1776 also really intrigued me though I really want more detail as to before the Revolution, and the 6 years that followed before we could actually agree on something with Parliament.
