@Plugshirt Says:
This seems like quite an odd assertion considering most people do know who John Hancock is or at least a general idea of what he accomplished. There are far more forgotten patriots like George Mason or Roger Sherman who had significant contributions most couldn't even name
@Ash-4414 Says:
I am a descendant of John Hancock, and if you saw my children, especially my son, you’d see the similarities 😂❤ Jesus is so good to me. I love Him so much
@TheMastersForm Says:
"Some boast of being friends to government; I am a friend to righteous government, to a government founded upon the principles of reason and justice; but I glory in publicly avowing my eternal enmity to tyranny." --Hancock's Oration on the Fourth Anniversary of the Boston Massacre, 1774
@ranchyranch246 Says:
Fun fact: Thomas Hancock is my 6th great grandfather.
@Icastar1 Says:
We remember his name and who he is today!❤🇺🇸
@AdmiralYeti8042 Says:
I wouldn’t say John Hancock was forgotten. His name is the largest signature in the Declaration of Independence “so the king wouldn’t have to put his spectacles on”.
@crazyman8472 Says:
8:30 The “Boston Massacre”. John Adams defended the British soldiers in court…and he won! 😎
@theoccurrences7833 Says:
yooooo are we really pretending that john hancock was scared to upset the apple cart of his trade that he carefully kept in line with the official limits to english intermediaries? why are we pretending mf wasn't a smuggler here?! that'd be even better content?!
@curtiswfranks Says:
Warren G. Harding popularized the term "Founding Father".
@curtiswfranks Says:
Arguably the fourth President of the United States and the first to be so when it was, in its estimation, an independent country.
@beekasonics1994 Says:
i was always inspired by johm hancock
@nicholaspilot2057 Says:
I would be the biggest hatter of all time he sign off like that
@Randys_Channel Says:
Thank you, Simon, for this video.
@John-eg3gy Says:
EXAMPLES OF JOHN... JOHNIE
@last1out Says:
And now Massachusetts's is one of the most communist states in the Union, what irony.
@Mikkell42 Says:
If you are watching this a few years on like I am now I highly recommend you do yourself a favor and watch the more recently produced series on John Hancock. It's a more in-depth look at what made Hancock so darn important.
And you don't even have to look far for it because it's a Biographics series.
@AtmaureanNoble7 Says:
I'm sorry but John Hancock was not a pale face.
@FrithonaHrududu02127 Says:
Thanks for this. I'm from South Boston, which is where Washington and Knox chased off those pesky Redcoats on March 17th( Evacuation Day/St. Paddy's Day) That's why Suffolk (Government employees) is the only county in America that gets the day off for St. Patrick' Day but I live in Quincy right next door. I live on Hancock Street ,my wife worked for Hancock insurance for 15 years, in the Hancock Building, the tallest building in Boston. Iwalk my pitbulls at PeaceField the house in the thumbnail,it's really nice, there's a good sized woded area right in the middle of the city. Actually the Dorothy Quincy house is basically across the street. Dorothy was his wife (you said Dolly Simon, oops)I found a baby guinea pig there. I even went to the same highschool as Hancock, Boston Latin, but I've weirdly never really read up on Hancock. It's weird because I love history, especially Boston history but for some reason he's a little bit of a blank spot, so thanks Sinon
@Regalqualitylifestyle Says:
The Reason and inspiration for my signature i researched this legend since age 7 starting with old Funk & Wagner Books . Even his demeanor style etc i researched love this . Coming from a Brother raised in the Bronx
@Nyyylus1 Says:
John Hancock is my grandpa from the 17th century, he is in my family tree.
@williamperry1786 Says:
Sam Adams the Mouth, Dr. Joseph Warren the Mind, and John Hancock the Money! The Revolutionary 3M glue that kept the patriot movement together!
@donnysandley4649 Says:
The people who don't know who John Hancock is also don't know who George Washington is 😢
@rh661 Says:
'Murica. Hell, yeah!
@Spitnchicklets Says:
I respectfully disagree with him being largely forgotten. I grew up in Massachusetts in the 60’s-80’s , he was and still is very well known in the state.
@karaDee2363 Says:
Wish you would talk faster, this was much too slow
@bencarter8423 Says:
As an American, the one comment that caught me off guard was about non presidents not being talked about. That is true, but there’s one exception. Ben Franklin is still an incredibly famous figure, and all American school children are taught about him. To the point that a lot of American kids are surprised when they learn he was never president.
@itsallmyfault264 Says:
The only forgotten founding father is Dr Joseph Warren, and that is a shame. The rest are household names in America and we celebrate these men. There will always be large hoards of idiots who don't care/know their country history, ours are mostly concentrated in California and the rest of us are ashamed to have to claim them.
Where did this idea come from that we have forgotten our founding fathers? lol
@craigmurphy2300 Says:
I found out last year that he is an ancestor of mine on my paternal grandmothers line. The genealogist working on my family history is still working on the complete Murphy family history as there is so much information from the civil war and war of independence.
@penny-g23 Says:
I think you mean Herbie Hancock
@LiveFreeOrDie2A Says:
Not sure how, but I never noticed the additional “H” in the center of the underline design. Truly is a beautiful signature!
@LiveFreeOrDie2A Says:
“Thomas made a deal with his brother’s widow— she would be provided for and her children ensured a good education— in exchange, (she would give his Hancock a good weekly throating..) and he would adopt John.”
@richtygart6855 Says:
I had family that fought in the Revolutionary War and my brother was a history professor so I am quite well-informed about the forefathers of America. Most kids today just don't care about anything from more than five years ago
@iftogo Says:
These videos are awesome! Is there one about Xi Jingping in the works?
@richardgadberry8398 Says:
John Hancock: First American hoodlum and defender of the people.
@J9harrison Says:
Thank you for remembering this great patriot! Remember Christopher Snider...the kids killed right before the Boston Massacre. Also there were additional 'Tea Parties'! NY, Philadelphia, Charleston, Baltimore...
@briandoss9232 Says:
Yeah they breezed over him in history class. The beer commercials taught me more about him.
@roywilkowski2326 Says:
Of all the Founding Fathers, Thomas Paine was given the proverbial "shaft" to a far greater extreme than those, like Hancock, who were merely relegated to some varying degree of obscurity. I'd really like to see Simon do his stuff on a Paine episode. It would make one reassess their reverence for his fellow countrymen in leadership at the time, even, and maybe especially, George Washington.
@kekero540 Says:
John Hancock smoking dat zaza, evading taxes, and funding terrorism. a true patriot indeed
@petercampbell4027 Says:
The farm in Harvard MA. where The Sona of Liberty met still stands. It's a really nice area.
@J9harrison Says:
Thank you for recognizing this patriot!
@BEBEBULGER187 Says:
HE ISNT FORGOTTEN HE LIVES HERE IN NEW ENGLAND & EVERYTIME ANYONE SIGNS THEIR SIGNATURE ITS THEIR JOHN HANCOCK
@blacklilith6855 Says:
He's a capricorn. Typical.
@manuelborja101 Says:
in his actions is his penance for not being considered for the honor of being named a founding father do not try to sugarcoat history REMEMBER THAT A HALF-TRUTH IS = A LIE
@The_Architekt Says:
…it’s Herbie Hancock
@PuraVida777 Says:
Yolo
@tinkerstrade3553 Says:
It is a shame that his likeness has not been put on a $US bill. Franklin was never president either. 🙄
@ToyotaCamrySEv Says:
quite a bit of pro british tone when talking about the revolution 😂😂
@VoxTE2186 Says:
John Hancock: Forgotten Patriot
But never forgotten as a synonym for the word "Signature"
