Who Won the American Revolution?: Crash Course US History #7
From YouTube, produced by crashcourse
John Green teaches you about the American Revolution. And the Revolutionary War. I know we've labored the point here, but they weren't the same thing. In any case, John will teach you about the major battles of the war, and discuss the strategies on both sides. Everyone is familiar with how this war played out for the Founding Fathers; they got to become the Founding Fathers. But what did the revolution mean to the common people in the United States? For white, property-owning males, it was pretty sweet. They gained rights that were a definite step up from being British Colonial citizens. For everyone else, the short-term gains were not clear. Women's rights were unaffected, and slaves remained in slavery. As for poor white folks, they remained poor and disenfranchised. The reality is it took a long time for this whole democracy thing to get underway, and the principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness weren't immediately available to all these newly minted Americans.

Chaos. A Video Essay after a Photo of the Russian Revolution (1917)
From veoh.com
A 2:20 video from the "Mechanical Icon" series discussing a famous photo of the Russian Revolution (1917). This is a sophisticated video that would make a good lesson in how to use primary documents to surmise what was happening. Not much to be learning from this video other than that lesson, but if the teacher shows the video without sound and asks the students to write down what they think is happening it could be a discovery lesson.
