American History is far more complicated than a yearlong High School class could ever teach you. This podcast will tell you the rest of that story, focusing on colonies you've never heard of, that may be at your front door, like New Netherland and New Sweden; Confederations like the Haudenosaunee and the lampooned "Articles of Confederation," that serve as footnotes in the history presented to you. Join Eric Yanis, a NYS Certified Social Studies teacher, as he guides you through the history left out of the textbook.
This page is an extension of the audio podcast (video added) along with additional educational resources for students and teachers.
I live in marlborough, ma. Green hill and the rest of the sudbury fight is very close by. Lots of KPW history lies on or right off rt 20 that cuts thru town here. We pequot remain. The mohegan took us in. Many of us in CT still.
Not commonly known, but President Polk KILLED at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles come on down! No cover Thursday with 2 drink minimum - don't forget to tip the fabulous staff! See ya there!😊
I would say that those that wasted our tax dollars and wasted our SOLDiers lives, by enforcing the 'religious' insanity of THE CULT that bribed and blackmailed them to keep 'america' the idiots of THE CULT are also guilty of TREASON. Joe Magnets
Why didn't you discuss the free Africans, mulattos, and slaves that were in service to the company? You could have added more detail and diversity to your account of events.
I am really enjoying this series. Amused by the pronunciations of course. I suggest you go to Montreal for a couple weeks and learn how a good number of those names are actually pronounced (many are street names, or school names, or something). Jean and Jeanne, things like that. Claude rhymes more or less with toad/rode/abode rather than clod, as I learned to my embarrassment my first week in Canada when having a new co-worker Claude. He wasn't a fan of Clod. I learned.
My grandfather on my mother's side move to Burbank, California from New Haven, Connecticut in 1949. His ancestors came to MA in 1635, founded Salisbury, MA, and later on moved to New Haven, CT. I grew up on near the beach in Ventura, California.
I'm interested in the role Roch Manitoubawich and the connections via Olivier Tardif, who adopted and named Marie Olivier Sylvestre from Roch. I think she was only 14 at the time she married Martin Prevost. She was first educated i believe by Ursuline nuns, then had private tutors while a servant? With another French family. This seems to have all happened within a period of 5 years. Its a bit traumatizing to learn this history. Thank you for doing this incredible podcast.
Funny free state still more massholes here pushing there sochalist crap on actuall mainas hay mass come see go home stop pushing youre crap on hard working people ruin your own state not ours you have done enough
Mashantucket pequot here. Son of Shiakoda Qkalakqua, Awahsus Tah Qkalakqua * Bear Heart , Qkalakqua is our clan mother's name and we are a maternal ppl so we take the mothers name) 9 generations on from the Massacre of our people, we remain. The mohegana took us in after the attack at the fort. We now claim Mohegan - Pequot. My flag(the wolf and snake pictured) flies proudly
I forgot - the Dutch were actually irritated that Charles, their Duke, would leave to go to Spain. They also didn't like all those Spanish advisers coming in after their other Duke, Charles dad, Philip, died in Spain.
In Northern Maine, where my wife grew up, you got time off from school for the Harvest and they had festivals and such to commemorate the week or so of time off that the children helped the adults bring it in. Dunno if they still do Harvest break or not.
I live in Standish, a town named after Miles Standish. I'm going to be supplementing the school my kids have with this material. So invaluable. Do you have a list of the material you used to learn this? Like primary sources?
My mother was born in St. George, Maine, a town that's just opposite Matinicus Island. For years we vacationed there during the summer. Therefore many of these places that you mentioned are familiar to me. Nevertheless, you revealed a HUGE amount of historical information that was new to me. I appreciate your researching and organizing all of this information. Great job.
Is the picture you used of the first encounter of Samuel de Champlain with the Iroquois - known as the Battle of the Mohawks-featured for this segment at Lake George as you stated , or at the site if the present day Fort Ticonderoga in the banks of Lake Champlain ? I believe is the latter … the date in the historical record places it on 29 July 1609 approximately 1 mile north of the present fort at the ferry point to Larabee Point in Vermont
This is near the site of Fort Ti. The early videos are just the audio podcast with a visual or two, this picture serves as a decent visual summation for the whole episode.
Great video and I really appreciate you making the distinction of European and Indigenous "american" worldviews. Can I ask what your sources were for this, or any books/articles you'd say were especially important to your understanding of these topics? Thanks for the great videos!
