Same guy?

yes, hank green and his brother john do a series of these videos, seemingly targeted at the seniors in high school studying for AP history/lit/etc but very applicable to a lot of adults that didn't pay attention in those classes

but it's better than simply having information read at you, he tries to teach history in a way gives you perspective and helps you understand more of why things are the way they are, not just how they got to that point.



I do not know if any of the other series are good but the history ones are fascinating, especially since I am one of those people that didn't pay attention in history because lots of reasons


you might know hank green as the author of "the fault in our stars"
 
From the story

The politics of swapping out Jackson is easier. He had been a slave owner and is not enjoying a renaissance like Hamilton. Jackson was put under the lens last year in a book by National Public Radio journalist Steve Inskeep, who examined Jackson’s role in forcing Native Americans from their homelands.

The popularity of the Broadway musical "Hamilton" provoked a wave of interest in the man who played a leading role in creating the U.S. financial system and helped the country repay the debt it amassed during the Revolutionary War.
