You know what's weird was when the settlers first came to Jamestown, they spread rumours among themselves that the natives dug grades an ate people from the grave. Yet when the settlers starved, they ended up digging through graves and eating people
Some Indian tribes practised cannabalism, also the pilgrims (the first Americans essentially) only would have eaten the dead as a very last resort, they were civilised and would have been horrified, assuming that happened. there was no great conflict between pilgrims and indians , they lived largely at peace
Natalia Edwards Yes I have! Today we get to chose who we marry, who we elect, what our job is, etc That’s something people of that day didn’t get to choose. As an American we have a right to speak freely and worship freely. We don’t have too make our own food, we have stores with food. We don’t have to worry about having clean water, that’s just something we have. And it’s very important that America stays that way! If you read this, I just want to say, Have a blessed day in our great country.
@@kericbrown7650 So did the Indians. So did the Spanish. So did the French. So did the African tribes. So did the Muslims. So did the Chinese. So did every other tribe or nation during this time period.
I had ancestors at Jamestown with the same last name as me. William Woodley, born in Devonshire, England. Died at Jamestown. My real name is Nathan Woodley. William would be my 8x great grandfather.
Mt 12th great grand father was Thomas Graves. He was one of the men who settled Jamestown colony, and he also was part of the House of Burgesses. It is amazing how much history we can learn through our own ancestry research.
Ty mrs overfield for sending me here where history channel in the day it’s normal history and a night they talk about how the aliens tried to mind control Alex Jones
I live in Williamsburg, VA (Jamestown), it’s incredibly humid here in the summer, & spring. I can’t imagine being exposed to the elements, not knowing what kinds of creatures were out there in the woods (or spirits), & not knowing if the native people were coming for you in the night 👀
It's so hard following American history versus that of other countries, the way we talk about the past always has to include some providential message about risk-taking and being underdogs. Feels more like myth-making than any truly academic and educated look at our past. Colonial Viriginia was as much an ugly brutal place full of spoiled greedy plutocrats and their workers both indentured and enslaved having to compete at the bottom... Better to talk about that so we can comprehend our present and how some things haven't changed...
It's both American and English. The first states were descendants of the original colonies. The history is inextricably connected. Anyway, why do you have to prod amd pick a fight? I don't understand people like you.
@@levarmitchell3962 americans came from britain. They have britidh as their ancestors. Ah ah dont be jealous if you are just an african lol. Related to jesse lynching? Lmfao
I am a living relative of William Jarrett 1 - One of the 100 Men aboard the first ship from England in 1607 arriving in 1609. A second ship didnt arrive until 10 years later with women. He is my 15th Great Grandfather
- escaping the religious persecution - escaping poverty - escaping that seal that if you were not an aristocrat you could not rise. (in summary of that point: basically if you weren't already born into royalty you had no chance to become someone particular) in its entirety, the three reasons were basically for liberty.
I purchased the History Channel DVD set Founding Brothers in 2002, in it the narrator says America declared its neutrality in the Jay Treaty,this is WRONG.The Jay Treaty more aligned America with Britain.That is why France,and a lot of Americans were furious over the Jay Treaty.
@Dobbs198 How can anyone take anything you said personal? whining about "europe" or "europeans" is just so vague that it's impossible to take it personal...
@@sundaze9709 WHAT? SO POTTER TURNED A HUMAN TO A DOG , wow I never expected this .........well bye I geuss I must ask Potter how he did such a brilliant thing
We? Maybe your ancestors did, not mine. My ancestors loved and cherished the land; piety propriety honor dignity life and liberty are the values of these particular settlers. That can’t be said of all settlers though, some did come to exploit and indulge in materialism… thus the birth of malls 😉
@veeseee128 thats life, back then things like imperialism, slavery genoside was not seen as morally wrong, killing off a people so their wife and children can keep on living wouldn't of seen that bad
@SoCalstylez858 Unlike Public School, this gives much detail, and much information. When is the last time you were there? Rather than spend a student's time reading a book, a teacher can assign living people of this day and age, KNOWLEDGEABLE people, to speak about this history. It is not complte, and isn't meant to be. you have to eat the elephant (of accurate history) one bite at a time, and can only digest so much at once.
There were no women on the 1st voyage to Jamestown. Men and boys as young as 12. They did not go to Jamestown for religious freedom. That would be 1620 at Plymouth Plantation. 13 years after the founding of Jamestown.
