“Hysterical History” by Harveytoons

A five-minute cartoon version of American history. The quality of the print isn’t super-high.

Here’s a more serious history cartoon: “War of Independence – History of the US Navy.” Really, it’s not so much animated as illustrated, though it offers plenty of solid info. This film is part of a series of instructional films about Navy history, including “The Naval Wars with France and Tripoli: 1798-1805,” “The War of 1812, Part 1” and “Part 2;” “1815-1860,” “The Civil War, Part 1,” “Part 2,” “Part 3,” and “Part 4.”
