Horrible Histories presents...
14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:47,200
This is the story
of the birth of America.
15
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:53,520
While sailing for Asia,
16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,720
one man believes he is the
first to discover America.
17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:05,440
I, the great and handsome Italian
explorer Christopher Columbus,
18
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:10,600
am the first man ever to set foot
in this strange new land.
19
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,600
RECORD SCRATCH
Only he wasn't the first.
20
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,040
Our long journey from Asia is over.
21
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,960
We shall build a new home
in this land.
22
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,600
OK...
23
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,800
I, Christopher Columbus,
24
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,080
am the first European man
to set foot in America.
25
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,840
Uh... Technically
that's not true either.
26
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,080
A new land!
27
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:48,400
The sagas will tell of my journey
forever and I, Leif Eriksson,
28
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,200
son of Erik the Red,
will name this land...
29
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,520
..Vinland. Oh, look, a Skraeling.
30
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:57,760
Hey, how's it going?
31
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,440
Oh, you are going to love
what we've done to this place.
32
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,880
I really need a wee. Just there.
33
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,280
Really? I mean, can they prove it?
34
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,760
OK, fine, fine.
35
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,920
I, Christopher Columbus,
am the first European man
36
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:18,080
apart from a bunch of other guys
ever to set foot in...
37
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,080
Oh, who am I kidding?
38
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,720
I didn't even make it all the way
to America.
39
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,440
I stopped in the Caribbean
by mistake.
40
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,960
Oh, forget it! Let's go home.
41
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,360
Turn the boat around!
42
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,760
America, discovered by Columbus...
43
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:34,880
NOT!
44
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,480
It's true. Columbus never
actually went to America.
45
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,880
He went to the Caribbean islands
which are just next door.
46
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,200
It was another Italian explorer,
John Cabot,
47
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,440
who in 1497 really became the first
modern European
48
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,240
to discover North America.
49
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:57,040
Like Columbus, Cabot was looking for
Asia, but instead found a new land
50
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,960
in Canada and guess what he called
this new-found land?
51
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,080
Yep, Newfoundland.
52
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,480
Talk about say what you see.
53
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:10,960
Cabot was incredibly excited, but
not for the reasons you'd expect.
54
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,920
Yo, John Cabot here.
55
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:14,120
Check me out!
56
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:18,960
Shout out to King Henry VII.
57
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,400
Brap, brap!
58
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:21,760
He sponsored my trip
59
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,760
basically because he felt like
a total bonehead
60
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,560
for not backing Columbus
61
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,200
and his trust in Jocab - still going
with that name - has paid off.
62
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,800
We found something way more
impressive.
63
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,280
Land ahoy!
64
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,600
No, massive fish.
65
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,520
Check this out, it's going to be
hilarious.
66
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,520
Wow, this is a whole new continent.
67
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,680
Kiss the fish!
68
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,200
Kiss it!
69
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,720
Mwah! John...
70
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,840
John, stop messing around.
71
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,000
I think this could be really
significant. Sorry, mate.
72
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,720
But kiss the fish!
73
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,040
So I think we can all agree that
Fishland is way better
74
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,040
than anything Columbus ever found.
75
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,280
We're not calling it Fishland.
76
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,120
Oh, you think you COD do better,
hmm?
77
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,960
Do you not like this PLAICE?
78
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,520
John, we're not calling
it Fishland!
79
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,040
Jocab's Fishland!
80
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,200
Now that the route to America was
known, King Philip of Spain
81
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,760
began building small villages
in the new land called colonies.
82
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,800
Not to be outdone, our fair
Queen Elizabeth I did the same,
83
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,680
asking her favourite explorer,
Sir Walter Raleigh,
84
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,400
to set up the English
colony called Roanoke.
85
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,600
With two of history's great figures
behind it, nothing could go wrong.
86
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,280
But it still did.
87
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:39,120
Argh!
88
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,520
Your Majesty's servants are here,
Your Majesty.
89
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,960
What happened? Oh, I've been robbed.
90
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,120
So I can see, ma'am.
It's absolute carnage.
91
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,440
There's diamonds everywhere.
92
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,120
No, that's just where
I keep them, you idiot.
93
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,560
Someone has stolen my lovely
Roanoke. It's this again.
94
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,360
I had hoped you'd be over it
after a year or two.
95
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,520
What's Roanoke? Pet dog, is it?
96
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,160
No, no, Walter, darling,
you tell them.
97
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,840
I'm literally too upset to talk.
98
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:04,480
OK, Her Majesty asked me
99
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,920
to set her up an English
colony in the New World.
100
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,520
I just wanted one New World colony.
101
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,840
One.
102
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:12,840
Because I was sick of King Philip
of Spain lording it over me.
103
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:14,680
He doesn't even need
that many colonies.
104
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,960
He's just showing off.
105
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,720
Sir Walter got me this lovely,
sweet colony called Roanoke.
106
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:20,920
Oh, and I loved it.
107
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,760
Nice colour.
Thank you, I painted it myself.
108
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,760
But when we sent a ship back
to check up on it...
109
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,840
You tell them, Walter. I...
110
00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:31,240
It's gone. Someone stole it
because they're jealous of me.
111
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,560
HE SNORTS
112
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,600
Sometimes with these New World
colonies it's famine or disease.
113
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,960
No, there were no bodies or evidence
of violence. It was just gone.
114
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,720
Are you sure you read the map
right, sir?
115
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,440
You wasn't just standing in the
wrong bit of the New World?
116
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,840
I mean, I heard it's quite big.
117
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:47,960
OK, one - I'm Sir Walter Raleigh.
118
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,520
I can read a map, thank you.
119
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,040
Two - all the stuff was there,
120
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,440
it was just the actual people that
had disappeared.
121
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,440
Oh... It's not fair. Why can't I
just have one nice thing?
122
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,440
Well, we do advise with colonies
that you don't leave them unattended
123
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,000
thousands of miles away
for years on end. Oh, really?
124
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,880
Maybe next time,
put your name on your colony,
125
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,160
people will know whose it is.
126
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,920
Maybe next time, I'll call it
Virginia after my nickname.
127
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,800
Sounds very sensible, ma'am.
I suppose that...
128
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,200
Shouldn't we inform the families
of the missing people?
129
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,320
The families of the missing people.
Clever boys.
130
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,240
Yes, and then they can club together
and buy me a new colony.
131
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,840
I think it's more so that they can
grieve, isn't it?
132
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:22,600
Why are people so selfish?
133
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,080
SHE WAILS
134
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,480
Is she always like this?
135
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,280
Sometime she throws the swan.
136
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:34,080
The Colony of Roanoke is now known
as the lost colony.
137
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,720
We still don't know where
the settlers went.
138
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,560
It's a mystery.
139
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,080
In 1620, 30 years after the people
of Roanoke disappeared,
140
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,680
the most famous colony of all
was founded
141
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,640
when the legendary Mayflower
landed in America.
142
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,720
On board were a group of Puritans
143
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,920
who had crossed the Atlantic to set
up a whole new society.
144
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,200
However, there were meant
to be two ships.
145
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,880
I'm here with Unity and Ezekiel.
146
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,600
Now, it's a long way to America,
so why do it?
147
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,440
It's about religion -
a harsh, strict religion
148
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,400
which controls every aspect
of our lives.
149
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,360
Yes, that's what we want
to get away from.
150
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,160
That's what we want to start,
Ezekiel!
151
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,440
Is it?
152
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:23,800
Yes, a serious religion, not like
the namby-pamby Church of England.
153
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,520
We're going to the New World, a
society where we can speak to God
154
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,640
directly without distractions
like hymns and festivals.
155
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,440
Fingers crossed in time
for Christmas.
156
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,000
There won't be a Christmas, Ezekiel.
157
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,640
That's not going to be a thing!
158
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,240
Sorry. Oh!
159
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,560
Well, there they go,
160
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,880
off on the first Puritan ship
to visit the New World.
161
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,800
Remember the name, guys,
as it will go down in history -
162
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,720
the Speedwell.
163
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,240
Abandon ship!
164
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,000
Breaking news,
or should I say leaking news?
165
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,720
The Speedwell really is going down
and it's about to BE history.
166
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:05,960
Oh, here they come.
167
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,840
No-one said this would be easy.
168
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,400
We shall travel on the Mayflower
instead. Whoo!
169
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,200
Well, good luck, guys. Something
tells me you're going to need it.
170
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,280
Guys? I'm a woman.
171
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:19,400
How rude!
172
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,040
Want to create a whole new
society in service to God?
173
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,600
Then a Mayflower Cruise is for you.
174
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,800
So, come on, put on your favourite
hat, pack your Bible,
175
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,280
bring your wife and your slaves -
I mean children -
176
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,960
and head off for the New World.
177
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,800
On a Mayflower Cruise, you'll be
surrounded by God-fearing Puritans
178
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,560
just like you, but you might want to
hide those preachy pamphlets, boyo.
179
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:51,800
Some passengers are people
you wrote about
180
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,480
like criminals escaping the law.
181
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:55,960
Very wise.
182
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,440
Travelling in very cramped
conditions for two months
183
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,440
on rough seas from Plymouth,
England, to New Plymouth, America,
184
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,720
Mayflower Cruises guarantee freedom
to practise religion
185
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,080
in any way you want,
186
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,640
but we cannot guarantee against
boredom, hunger,
187
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,200
disease, death and puking.
188
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,840
Because you'll never want
to do it again.
189
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,080
Must we finish this now, Malachi?
190
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,560
I feel so ill.
191
00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:27,320
We must decide the laws
of our new society
192
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,720
before we land in Virginia, Ezekiel.
193
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,520
Now, where was I?
194
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:38,200
We do solemnly, in the presence of
God and each other, covenant...
195
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,440
That's not how you spell covenant.
196
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,480
Yes, it is!
197
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,240
Argh! Argh...
198
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,800
Unity, how do you spell covenant?
199
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:46,840
Argh!
200
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:52,280
C-O-V-E-N-A-N-T
201
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,720
and you've put dog instead of God.
202
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,960
Oh, praise the Lord
and this stinking, nasty,
203
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,240
overcrowded ship he's put us on.
204
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,720
Right, I've fixed the spelling.
205
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,000
Now, about these new laws.
We're bound to need some.
206
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,720
Yes, we must plan for the future.
207
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,160
What do you think, Ezekiel?
208
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,640
No, no!
209
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,520
HE VOMITS
210
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:16,040
Do you want it back? Keep it.
211
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,200
OK, I've got - we will enact,
constitute
212
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,320
and frame such just and equal laws
213
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:26,040
as shall be thought most convenient
for the general good of the colony.
214
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,200
All right.
215
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:33,480
These laws will stand for all until
free men vote otherwise.
216
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:34,680
Free men?
217
00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:36,200
What about free women?
218
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,680
THEY LAUGH
219
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:40,560
I thought I was leaving for
a life free from discrimination
220
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:42,000
when I joined this trip.
221
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,280
Everyone knows women aren't
clever enough to vote!
222
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,000
Oh, right, well, perhaps I'm not
clever enough to teach you
223
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,120
how to write the word covenant or
to write your own name, Godspeed.
224
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,080
That says Dogs-peed.
225
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,160
Land ahoy! It's Plymouth!
226
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,680
Plymouth?
227
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:03,640
No, no, no, we left England
two months ago.
228
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,880
Have we just gone in a massive
squalid, squashed, stinking circle?
229
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,800
I think you'll find
it's New Plymouth.
230
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,880
We have reached the New World.
231
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,320
Right, chuck that dog overboard,
it can swim the rest of the way.
232
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:16,960
Argh!
233
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,080
Well, Ezekiel, we've done it.
234
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,920
A land of freedom
and self-governance awaits.
235
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,200
Ezekiel?
VOMITING
236
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,960
If he dies, can I have his vote?
237
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,000
BOTH: No!
238
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,960
Right, I'm off of this boat.
239
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,960
My days of banging my head are over.
240
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,000
Ow!
241
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,800
Oh!
242
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,440
Can I have his? No, you can't!
243
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,000
When the Puritans on the Mayflower
finally landed in New Plymouth,
244
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,240
they set up the Plymouth Rock
colony.
245
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,360
It was the society they had dreamt
of back home in England
246
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,240
with just one or two minor problems
like there was no food or medicine
247
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,440
or shelter and it was really cold
and, well, you get the idea.
248
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,840
Luckily for them, they had some very
friendly new neighbours.
249
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:10,880
Hello?
250
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,960
Hello.
251
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,680
I'm Jacob from
the Plymouth Rock colony.
252
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:19,880
You know, we are your new
neighbours.
253
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,200
We thought we'd pop round
and say hi. Hi!
254
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,760
Ask to borrow something just to
break the ice,
255
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,480
so do you have a bowl
of sugar we could borrow?
256
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,680
We have maple syrup which we harvest
from the trees.
257
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:32,160
You're welcome to some of that.
258
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,440
You get it from the trees?
259
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:35,800
Amazing!
260
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,000
Amazing, we have a lot to learn
about this country.
261
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,440
A lot.
262
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:40,480
Food?
263
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,680
Uh... Since we're here, I wonder if
you might have anything for scurvy?
264
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:52,080
Some of our villagers seem to have
a slight problem with scurvy.
265
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,240
How slight?
266
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,480
They're dead.
267
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,600
It's a shame, really, because we
only lost five on the journey over,
268
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,600
but the lack of food here seems
to be finishing us all off.
269
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,200
And we are good farmers,
don't get me wrong.
270
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,640
We have a very deep,
extensive knowledge of crops
271
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,920
and what are they?
272
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,920
Squash, melon, pumpkin.
273
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,720
These are the crops
that grow best here.
274
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,280
That would explain why European
crops are doing so badly then.
275
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,200
Is there anything else you need?
Erm... No, I think that's it.
276
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,360
I think we're good apart from...
277
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:25,000
Clothes, water, furniture, fish,
shelter, livestock and food.
278
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,840
I think it may just be simpler
if we just came down to your village
279
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,520
and showed you how to grow
the crops,
280
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,440
hunt the local animals like lobster
and eel and basically just...
281
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,000
Stop us all dying. Yes, that.
282
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,120
Great, this is marvellous.
283
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,480
We can have a great get-together,
a celebratory feast,
284
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,720
a Thanksgiving dinner to thank God
for providing us
285
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,480
with everything we need to survive.
286
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:47,600
God?
287
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,200
I think it must be
their word for us.
288
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,760
You're so funny.
289
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,920
Greetings, I am Tisquantum
of the Patuxet tribe,
290
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:02,480
but you Europeans call me Squanto.
291
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,080
I helped the Mayflower Settlers
survive the winter,
292
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,760
but they never could
get my name right.
293
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,280
Honestly, it's not that hard.
294
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,760
Anyway, speaking of names,
why is America called America?
295
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:19,520
Is it...
296
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,680
And the answer is...
297
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,800
..C, nobody knows for sure.
298
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,080
Most probably it's named after
Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci,
299
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,960
but others say it's named after
Bristol sailor Richard Amerike
300
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,360
or it's a South American tribal
word for mountain.
301
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,200
You know who it isn't named after?
302
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,240
Me! But whatever, I'm not bothered.
303
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,080
It's not like I helped America start
as a country or anything.
304
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,640
Oh, wait, yes, I did.
305
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,680
Honestly, some people, no gratitude.
306
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,040
And my little one's already
sitting up and praying.
307
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,560
Oh, lovely.
308
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,000
Hello, Abigail.
309
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,480
Hi, Constance. Hi, Berenice.
310
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:09,120
Here we are with our newborn. We've
brought so much joy into this world.
311
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,800
Oh, Berenice,
you are so innocent. Hm?
312
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,280
It was the Lord who created this joy
313
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,560
which is why
I have named my baby Give-Thanks.
314
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,200
Interesting that you're happy to let
your child lead a blinkered life.
315
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,000
Oh? It is perhaps foolish
to give thanks
316
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,680
when the Lord's work
is not yet done.
317
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,160
That's why my baby is called
Fight-The-Good-Fight-Of-Faith.
318
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,000
Praise Jesus!
319
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,920
You called? You've met my husband,
Praise-Jesus Watkins.
320
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,080
Where is our son?
321
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,200
If-Christ-Had-Not-Died-For-Thee,
Thou-Wouldst-Be-Damned Watkins!
322
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,560
He's at home, doing his chores.
323
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,760
Dorcas, what
have you named your daughter?
324
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:52,920
Cyril.
325
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,840
Cyril? That's it? Surely not.
326
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,280
I like Cyril.
327
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:58,880
Lucifer-Speaks-Through-Her...
328
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,120
..is nicer than Cyril.
329
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,840
I'm only joking!
330
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:09,720
My baby is called
It's-A-Real-Good-Thing-
331
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,520
That-Jesus-Got-Up
To-Some-Great-Stuff-
332
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,000
And-Now-Let's-Hear-It-For-God
While-We're-At-It,-
333
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,120
Am-I-Right,-Guys?
334
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,240
Johnson.
335
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:22,640
It's beautiful!
336
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,480
Hallelujah-And-Praise-The-Lord!
337
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,120
Yes, Mum?
338
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,880
What do you want?
339
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,520
Soon, there were 13 successful
English colonies right across
340
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,440
the East Coast of America,
but the colonists were growing angry
341
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,280
because whilst they still had to pay
English taxes on things like tea,
342
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,800
they didn't get a say in the English
Parliament that was making the laws.
343
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:50,200
In December 1773, this anger boiled
over into a violent protest
344
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,560
called the Boston Tea Party.
345
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,480
Now, I know it doesn't sound
like a protest,
346
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,760
but it started
the War of Independence
347
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,040
and the end of British rule
in America.
348
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,520
Top o' the morning, laddies!
349
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,640
Aye, Zack Septic-Tank here,
but you know that.
350
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,720
"Stop wasting my time,
where's the game?"
351
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,760
Right, what have we got today, then?
352
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,560
The Boston Tea Party!
353
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:14,680
What kind of game is that?
354
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,880
Sounds more like something
you'd play with your granny.
355
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,320
We're in 1773 Boston, America.
356
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,800
It's the American colonists
up against the British
357
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,080
and it looks like the British
government...
358
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,440
Ho-ho-ho!
359
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,520
..are charging loads of cash to
the American colonies
360
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,280
for buying and selling tea.
361
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,560
So, I am playing one of
the American colonists.
362
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,800
I'm called a son of liberty.
363
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:40,040
And the mission is to raise
a protest about the taxes I guess,
364
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,000
so it looks like the Boston Tea
Party is a sort of tax thing.
365
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,720
And we all love a game about taxes,
don't we?
366
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,120
OK, so, let's see where
this guy's going.
367
00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:51,720
OK.
368
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,040
Whoa! That was actually pretty cool.
369
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,520
All right, now we're all dressed up
as native Americans.
370
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:57,720
ALARM SOUNDS
371
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,360
Wait! Someone set an alarm clock,
372
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:01,600
because that is not woke!
373
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,840
Ah, who cares? I get to play
with little Tomahawks though.
374
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,440
Right, OK,
so we're going to the harbour.
375
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,440
Maybe we're going to sail to Britain
to complain about the tax.
376
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,920
Wait, me mam's expecting me
for dinner in an hour.
377
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,680
Yay! Fighting!
378
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,360
Finally! Right up.
379
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:20,320
What? What? We're fighting boxes.
380
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,840
Hey, guys, what are you doing?
381
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,520
Is that tea?
382
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,480
You can't throw tea in the harbour,
you maniacs.
383
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,680
Fish don't drink tea!
384
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,920
Not without milk,
that would be disgusting.
385
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,200
Time for me to destroy me joypad.
386
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,360
Wahey!
387
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:37,760
Bop-bop-do-pa-do-pa-do! Whoa!
388
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,160
We have thrown a lot of tea
into the harbour here.
389
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,400
OK, what is that?
390
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,520
46 tonnes. That's 342 creates.
391
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,600
There's even more than
me granny drinks.
392
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:50,920
Level one complete.
393
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,840
What's level two, lunch?
394
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,560
Uh-oh - boss level.
395
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,640
What? Wait,
is that the end of the game?
396
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:00,680
Oh, OK.
397
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:06,720
Well, I guess I give it 50 stars out
of ten and 13 stripes like the flag.
398
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,520
I'm only kidding, it's about a two.
399
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,000
If I go to a tea party,
I expect cake.
400
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:14,640
Gentlemen...
401
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:20,440
..you are the elite special
forces of the colonial army.
402
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:26,560
You...are the hammer that will
drive a nail through
403
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,480
the heart of King George
404
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:33,560
and gain independence from the
British for the American colonies.
405
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,440
Now, can I get an hoorah?
406
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:37,480
Hoo...
407
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,200
Is there a problem?
408
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,320
I was just saying that you are the
best soldiers
409
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,560
in the American colonies.
410
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,480
Death to America! No!
411
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,720
No, no, we're the Americans.
412
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,240
I thought we were the British.
413
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,280
We were the British.
We're now the Americans.
414
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:53,480
We're fighting the British.
415
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,280
Ah... You miss one meeting!
416
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,560
Let me explain.
417
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,440
Erm... We fought in
the Seven Years War...
418
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,680
Where we killed the British?
419
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,040
No, at that point, we were British.
420
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,720
This is kind of complicated,
I can't... No, it is not!
421
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:10,440
Look, we - then British - won a war
against the French...
422
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,040
Stay with it!
423
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,920
..then our enemies, and that war
cost a lot of money.
424
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,760
King George is taxing us,
the British American colonies,
425
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,800
to pay for it, so we are declaring
independence from Britain
426
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,600
which would make us Americans
and not British
427
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,280
and would mean we don't
have to pay taxes any more.
428
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,640
Death to taxes!
429
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,440
Well, there will be taxes.
430
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:31,720
Lots of them. Aw, come on!
431
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,520
Good old American ones,
though, not fusty old British.
432
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,880
OK, so have we got the straight?
Hands up if you're an American.
433
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,120
All right, and it's death
to the who?
434
00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:42,480
The British.
435
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:43,880
Yes!
436
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,160
Victory and independence will
be ours! Woohoo!
437
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,680
Death to the British!
Death to taxes! Guys?
438
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,840
It's the Americans,
death to the Americans.
439
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,160
So close this time.
440
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:02,280
In 1776, Thomas Jefferson wrote
the Declaration of Independence.
441
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,280
This was the first step in forming
the United States of America.
442
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,440
It stated that the 13 colonies
fighting the British were now
443
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:14,440
free American citizens, but, like
many wealthy men, Thomas Jefferson
444
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:19,800
owned over 100 slaves who worked
on his plantation, so, shamefully,
445
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,960
when he said the people were free,
he didn't really mean all of them.
446
00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:31,040
There, I have finished my first
draft
447
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,400
of the Declaration of Independence.
448
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,360
Would that the independence
for the slaves, Mr Jefferson?
449
00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:38,080
All in good time, Jupiter.
450
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,960
We have to free the country from the
British first
451
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,160
who are still determined
to buy and sell slaves.
452
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,040
Here, let me read it for you.
453
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,200
"We hold these truths to be
self-evident,
454
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,760
"that all men are created equal."
455
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,240
What? All men created equal?
456
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,720
Oh, don't be like that.
457
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,640
Sorry, everybody.
458
00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:59,960
It's just a mix-up.
459
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:01,640
Carry on, please.
460
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,920
So all men were created equal,
but then some of the men
461
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,160
enslaved some of the other men and
then they weren't equal any more?
462
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,400
All men ain't equal now and that has
to stop and I will help to stop it.
463
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,240
Eventually. Look, can I just please
finish this?
464
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,000
I mean, you know, feel free
to chip in...
465
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,040
"Feel free"?
466
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,920
Oh...
That's a real bad choice of words.
467
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,240
"That they are endowed by their
creator
468
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,040
"with certain unalienable rights.
469
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:34,800
"Among these are life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness."
470
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,800
Life... Mm-hm. Liberty?
That's right.
471
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,720
And the pursuit of happiness?
Mm-hm.
472
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,000
So you're going to ensure
that we are happy
473
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,000
and that we can have our liberty
and freedom?
474
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,040
Did you hear that?
We're going to be free!
475
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,240
No, no, no, no... Hey, guys.
476
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,680
That's just a mix-up.
477
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,640
I am trying to free the slaves,
478
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,320
but I'm also writing
a document that will free us
479
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,440
from the biggest empire in the world
480
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,720
at a time when our country relies on
slavery to work,
481
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,840
so we can't win the war against the
British with their empire
482
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,800
and their slavery
without...slavery.
483
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,480
So, please, just give me a break.
484
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,960
Can they have a break, sir?
485
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,720
Of course not. They're slaves.
486
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,160
Oh, fiddlesticks.
487
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,320
It almost looked like I might have
a point there, didn't it? Hm.
488
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,320
Well, gentlemen,
we've won the War of Independence
489
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,000
and successfully founded
the United States of America.
490
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,560
Having defeated the British,
Thomas Jefferson
491
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,600
and James Madison are struggling
to come up with an official name
492
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,080
for the man now running
the country, George Washington.
493
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,680
With that in mind, Sophie
and Sebastien have been invited
494
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,760
to come up with some fresh ideas.
495
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,160
OK, guys, we've got ourselves
a brand-new country
496
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,280
and what a brand!
497
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,480
USA! USA!
498
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,000
USA! Ow!
499
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:04,440
Now we've got to do is think of
a name for this dude.
500
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,240
Top Banana.
501
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,280
These tell me you're not suggesting
Top Banana as a name.
502
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,480
Ha-ha-ha, no!
503
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,000
So dumb.
504
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,400
Can I just check,
is it the word banana?
505
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,280
Yes, it was the word banana. Oh...
506
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,600
Unbelievable.
507
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,440
Whoa! Oh, yes!
508
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,880
We have no bananas.
509
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,400
OK, so, guys, how about...
510
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:35,600
..King? King!
511
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,000
King George... It's nice.
512
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,280
It's kinda familiar, but...
Of course it is!
513
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,920
We just fought a war to get
rid of one.
514
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,440
Oh, yeah. You can't just replace one
King George with another.
515
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,520
I shall not be king.
I feel you, brother.
