@eric5906

Seriously, the people in our government are a joke compared to the guys that were in the continental congress.

@Thebestever441 Kindred blood, meaning that we're related by blood. We were an English colony and many of us at that time in history have relatives to some extent still living in England. No reason why we should be enemies.... According to Mr. Adams diaries the King was touched by his speech and choice of words.

wtf with the pillow under his feet

[zokzokzok]

What's the title of the music which starts at 1:39 ?

[JimmyG228]

@VEGITAS4 You are so very pathetic to believe/say what you did. The US will never rule of the British or her remaining realm, keep dreaming.

[karz12]

@CaptainRon956 it was Adams who made America

[VEGITAS4]

You guys really need to lighten up lol

[KauKatKay]

@VEGITAS4 Egland doesn't use the metric system, idiot. And I much prefer british spelling, for the record. It makes more sence.

[VEGITAS4]

Open your eyes Thebestever441, United Nations is only the dolled up politically correct term for US empire. Notice how there are no british military bases in the US?

Even our culture is being absorbed by the Brits. Pretty soon, they will start to sound like us. When they stop using that damn metric system and spelling the word color our way, then they will finally be assimilated.

Mwahahahahahaaaa!!!

@VEGITAS4 England sure lost it's empire, but it belongs to nobody but Parliament and the Queen.

[Thebestever441]

@CaptainRon956 Thank you very much. I kept trying to figure out what he said.

[CaptainRon956]

Wonder what if, George Washington came to King George III instead of Mr. Adams?

[CaptainRon956]

@fjnjn American directors maybe? lol, oops...

[VEGITAS4]

If only king George were alive today to see great Briton become an American colony lmao!!

[ginjaninja1988]

The music as he arrives at the Palace reminds me of Barry Lyndon.

[fjnjn]

That man is too young to be King George at that time. And why does he have an Irish accent...Anyway, not tt be pedantic, but he is wearing the sash of the Order of the Garter incorrectly: it's worn from left to right, not right to left as portrayed. Great series though. And great men.

[dojokonojo]

He seems a bit young to be King George III.

What did John say at 5:31 until his majesty turned his head.

[ModellMeister]

@lewisbreland They played Handel's Sarabande....you little noob.

[lewisbreland]

It is grotesque they're playing Jean Baptiste Lully, court composer to Louis XIV, to reference the English court. Bad form!

[lildrummercm17]

What is the name of the song at 1:46?

[ohevshalomel]

@suny123boy1 Oh, modern politicians are very energetic...it's just that what they do destroys the country that the founding fathers created.

[Ferdinand1989]

Awkward!

[max2082]

@suny123boy1 Of course they're a joke the Continental Congress paved the way. It takes a unique group of individuals to create something from nothing. But once a system of rules are in place it really only takes the minimum of intelligence to continue to carry out that system of rules to its end. I would say more but I don't want to bore you. lol
