Thanks. That means a lot to hear you say that. Hope you continue to enjoy the content.🙏🏼

I hope you're doing better

Never heard that quote. Wow.

@@TheHistoryUnderground Gahh, been 20 years since I had it. I cant find the exact words now, but was around here sir- www.biography.com/news/chief-joseph-quotes-surrender-speech

@@TheHistoryUnderground The book, Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee' >_< There, Please read. I think you have yes?

Hindsight is 20/20.

Philadelphia is high on my list. I've never been there and would love to see some the historic sites out there. I'll put the Museum of the American Revolution on the list. Thanks!

My dads side of the family is from Philly and ive a couple times but i don't think ive been to that museum

Everybody worships. Glad that you are enjoying the channel!

Glad that you got something out of it. I enjoyed a lot more than I thought that I would. I only included a small portion of what's there too. Thanks for watching!

Interesting.

RADAR Michael - Whew. I thought that I’d messed that one up. Thanks!

🙏🏼

@@TheHistoryUnderground Most people show things that are secrets and will try to explain things that they don't know giving false information but this is so nice.

Heather Iviney - Awesome! Glad that you enjoyed it. Hope that you like the other videos on this channel as well. Thanks!

Thanks! I really do appreciate that!

Thanks!

Alexander Patrick - Thanks. Much appreciated. I’ve got some other DC videos on this channel with a few more to come. I’ll probably wrap the whole DC series with a video on some travel tips as well. Should have new content up about once a week so be sure to subscribe to get the updates. Again, thanks for watching.

Awesome!

Pamela Kern - Thanks! That really means a lot. Glad that it’s proving to be useful. I’ve got a few more D.C. episodes to go and then I might do a follow up with some travel tips. Thanks for watching!

Great !! Looking forward to the travel tips ☺️

Thanks! Glad that they are serving to hold you over until then 🙂

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

Jon Mark Roman - Oh wow. That is some high praise. Thank you. That means a lot. Should have new content up weekly. Hope that the future episodes continue to deliver.

Avidly agreed. Public Television is the last bastion of decent programing. Especially anything educational. You'd fit right in on there JD.

I try 🙂 Thanks!

I have to agree with you some people just show pictures and plaster music all over the video and some people aren’t as respectable either like I get the feeling through the camera that this guys actually cares and respects where he is and what he’s seeing my favourite you tube channel by far.

Glad you liked it! Thanks.

Awesome! Thanks!

That is awesome!

Thanks for the kind words. Glad that you're enjoying the videos. And wow, that's quite the rich family history that you have. Very cool!

👍🏻

Charles DeLeo - Didn’t get to sample much food but I do love the city.

I’ll check that out. Thanks!

I was quite surprised at how much I liked it. They did a good job putting that museum together.

Really want to go back and see the Spy Museum. Just didn't have enough time while I was there. Too much to see!

It was ok but JD don't waste your time and money. Most of it was news paper cuttings, it did have a James Bond car and the smallest bit of the Berlin wall the rest was pretty much junk. So definitely not worth the visit mate. Again a superb video JD.

Leon Watts - Thanks for the heads up!

🤷🏻‍♂️

Good deal!

Exactly.

I don't feel that way.

Thanks!

@@TheHistoryUnderground whenever myself or any of my brothers would act up, my unci (grandmother) would just reach for hers and we'd scatter like roaches when the lights came on. Them things hurt

Washington DC

Pretty tragic what happened then.

I’m a lot of things. Professional is not one of them. 😄

@@TheHistoryUnderground so this is amateur hour on your channel

Noted. You might want to take your case up with all of the tribes who contributed to the creation of the facility that is literally called the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian. 😐

@@TheHistoryUnderground did they have a choice

@@TheHistoryUnderground I get that I grew up around a “Indian” or Sioux nation reservation and that term is abhorred by the locals Maybe you should consider a word study

I researched this quite a bit for other videos. What I found is that the term “Native American” was likely started from a a bunch of politically correct white people back in the 70s. The opinions that matter most to me are the one whom it affects. In one poll that I found, 50% of the affected people group prefer American Indian while 37% preferred Native American. Ultimately, it seems like it doesn’t matter as much as some would let on. So if the people who matter most don’t get spun up about it, I won’t either. I’ll refer you to how they address the question on the Smithsonian website: “What is the correct terminology: American Indian, Indian, Native American, or Native? All of these terms are acceptable. The consensus, however, is that whenever possible, Native people prefer to be called by their specific tribal name. In the United States, Native American has been widely used but is falling out of favor with some groups, and the terms American Indian or indigenous American are preferred by many Native people.”

@@TheHistoryUnderground I called them Sioux indians at one time and pissed a bunch of them off Your correct they’re desire is to be called by their nation Simply Sioux I don’t care anymore I just wanted an argument Thank you
