Anglo-Saxon as a term to describe northern European invaders and settlers of England in the 5th and 6th centuries was always an oversimplified description of about 4 distinct groups of people. It came to be used to describe the a certain period of English history. The Anglo-Saxon rule was destroyed by the Norman Conquest in the 11th century. In the 1800s and 1900s the term re-emerged as a racial construct for white groups in England and the US and still exists to this day. Conservatives were not happy when they were told recently that Anglo-Saxons never really existed as a unified people. .00:00:00 - You are not an Anglo-Saxon 00:02:40 - The REAL HISTORY of the Anglo-Saxons 00:10:00 - Conservative Outrage at being told they aren't Anglo-Saxon 00:17:14 - r/askhistorians REACTS 00:21:30 - Lets retire Anglo-Saxon My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/TheKavernacle Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheKavernacle My Instagram: https://instagram.com/thekavernacle/ Second Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtet3kEWqgKj6sSfMgf2n7A My Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/2g88k90PsIKnDxU39lU0qi?nd=1&nd=1 My Subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheKavernacle/ My Personal Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/tommycahil1995 My Medium: https://medium.com/@thekavernacle Alex (guy who did the graphics) YouTube channel: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCgTaAo...
