A Prussian King for the United States of America? | The Prussian Scheme (1787)

In a little known episode of the constitutional history of the United States, nearing the end of the 18th century there was still a discussion about the form of government that the new country was to have. Now, a close circle of friends and influential men looking all the way to central Europe for a possible scenario. These men allegedly attempted to place Prince Henry of Prussia, the younger brother of Frederick the Great, on a throne as King of the United States. ►Consider Supporting HoH: https://www.patreon.com/HouseofHistory ►My Twitter: https://twitter.com/HouseofHistory1 My videos tend to get arbitrarily demonetized.
