The first ever reaction video to one of my videos was posted by ‪@Jackonpoint-Us‬! Thanks for watching my Andrew Jackson animation and sharing your take on my video! If anybody else wants to react to my videos, there are only 3 rules:

Rule #1: Ask my permission
Rule #2: Give me Credit
Rule #3: This rule only applies to bigger reaction channels like VTH (Don’t Monetize it)

I’m working on the Adams & Coolidge episode, sorry for the delays, but it will be out this month. What should I do for episode 4? By the way, I’m extending the length of each Retro Historian Show season from six episodes to eight episodes.

I am currently working on three projects: The Attempted Assassination of Andrew Jackson, History LIED About John Adams & Coolidge, and How Texas Voted In Every Election (1848-2024), all three of these projects will be released over the next week. However, some of my other projects such as How Virginia Voted In Every Election, The Top 15 Best & Worst lists are taking much longer than I anticipated, so they will likely be released in Mid-to late January.

Since you guys want to see me do a GoAnimate recreation of Andrew Jackson’s assassination attempt, I thought I should give you all a preview of my GoAnimate Andrew Jackson model that will be used both in that video and in future Retro Historian Show episodes. What do you all think?
