John Henry: One of America's Warriors (AMV) 

Facts

agreed

Tell me about it

Agreed, plus the ''warriors" scene it timed it

yup

Facts

It’s not history, it’s just a tale. Man can occasionally outdo a machine, but it comes at a cost. The moral is that man must pace himself

​@@captainsinclair7954"its nkt history" it literally is, he's real and the events happened.

​@@dallasdean4115unfortunately no, John Henry is just a story,In fact, if you search for his name on Google, it appears as "fictional character"

@@captainsinclair7954 You clearly don't recall your American history well. Not to worry my uneducated friend, all you gotta do is understand the working man's nature. (Unless you're rich, then go buy another Ferrari or something.) If you are rich, of course you discount the efforts of the poor. Who cares about race? I'M talkin' bout a man's unstoppable will he proved. And Caused a Steam engine to fail in result.

Back then people didn't know what budget are and make masterpiece like it's normal thing. I swear man 2d animation from 90s is masterpiece

For every second there is 1000 frames

@justaweirdguy376 what are you referencing

@@normaleverydayman7004It could also be a reference to the Xerox process that was first use in 101 Dalmatians.

Why did he died ?

@@lambsauce6983 he died because of exhaustion. Because at the end of the day he is still human.

@@tfyk5623 Damn…

@@lambsauce6983 The legend says he won but died from either a heart attack or just plain exhaustion. It’s often used as a metaphor for human nature vs progress. Though there is some evidence that the legend is based on a real rail worker from West Virginia.

Same bro this made me cry this was so awesome but so sad

Last I heard it was like 1st grade mabe kinder garden

@@Oakship166 Dude same.

Omg me too

lol same tho

They asked me to rate your comment, 5 stars bro,

I was hesitant to like your comment due to the fact that it has 611 likes (the same number as a certain N&W steam locomotive), but I chose to anyway, as I full-heartedly agree with this statement.

then...

big head😁😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

​@@scrumptious_lee2304 robert

That’s what’s up though, gotta have good role models

Fuck yeah!! makes me proud when I use my axe!

I like to believe John Henry was the 2nd coming of Hercules himself.

Amen brother.

Awesome ✊✊✊

Heck yeah!

Well said brother

This was a dope line

They what

They had a child?!

@@ykxngvevo9534 yeah they did, he appeared at the very end of the movie when his mom was telling him about his dad and he was hiding in a quilt if my memory serves. This was in the Disney film.

Yea

M

so sad l cant believe my eyes l wish l was John Henry

Sad 😢

THis isnt a time for u to tell jokes he was a hero

King Yoshi yes it is

King Yoshi ok boomer

Most importantly he hammer track

Lol he was an ex slave and then a prison laborer.

I remember this film when I was 8 years old, I am in the marines now because of the "Never quit" attitude. I made it to my last two months as a corporal and BY GOD I am amazed with myself to go that far to the end.

ik same so sad

Sad but encouraging...

Me too it's sad he died

I mean that I learn about him

I know

And it was a mix of whites and free slaves in this film United

Sad but true

Especially with John appearing in the Disney100 short film Once Upon a Studio.

WE ALL BECAME ENEMIES OF OURSELVES, BECAUSE WE ARE MONSTERS

The story is made up 😂

@@hottrin6103 no it ain’t it’s real

the moral of John Henry is that he died trying to fight progress. He's a legend for what he stood for, but he never actually affected anything. It isn't really something to look up to it's just something to consider as you look over your present options.

Yeah I never knew Disney made anything like rhis either.

@@hottrin6103 it doesn't matter even if it is. It's a description of the endurance and tenacity of man (the species) and specifically of black men and women. It speaks to the American spirit and to what has always and always will make America great (God willing) If it isn't real it's a damn good story that speaks right to the fundamental problem of industrialization and comparing the productivity of men and machines. A man can often outdo a machine but he is eventually broken down trying to continue to do so and so industry has more or less consumed these men by pushing them to work as hard as a Machine can or lose their jobs. I think children everywhere should learn this story that entails so much of what it means to be human maybe even more so now than when the story was first told. Whether or not there was a John Henry there have definitely been plenty of men who've died locked in competition with a machine as to not lose their livelihood. Substitute any of their names for his and it's true so it is a true story even if John Henry didn't exist. In short ur getting caught up in the wrong question. The question isn't whether it's a verbatim true story. It's is the story relatable feasible and teaching a valuable lesson? And I think it is. Which makes it's historical accuracy moot.

Um don't care I live on the fictional world

Brazilian Atlantis Sadly, John Henry is a fictional character. Also, no man has enough power to hammer through a mountain.

Brazilian Atlantis How is he real then?

Brazilian Atlantis Wow, guess I never thought of it like that. Thanks for showing me this.

This ain't the original song Its kinda crapppy too Also It might have to do with the mice.

@@adrianafamilymember6427 ok

@@adrianafamilymember6427 how is is it crappy it goes so well because when he said we are the warriors that built this town, it implies that John Henry was a warior who was the man who saved this workers job and never gave up

ncs253 Ives seen that

In the original story tho he did die after he beat the steam engine that's why it's sad

But in the original story, he said, "I'm dead" before he collapsed

Rylee Knaub omeleto

Yea buddy the video with Jack Henry

concuerdo con el desconocido

Es cómo Baki cuando golpea los bloques de concreto en la tierra de un solo golpe con el martillo

right?? it felt like looking at a god in a mans body

Not as hard as his hammers.

I think a good superhero show I remembered about back in the day was static shock, dude was one of the early black representation in shows and I highly recommend it. It blows all the current “woke” production folk outta the water by NOT making the character black by only appearance or by replacing a preexisting character, but by pure merit.

@@theoverseer393 Dude, the music sucks.

Darn my heart is broken you made me cry like a grown man idk if I'm saying that right but I'm being honest here no one could have said it better than you I'm like 19 and this music and John Henry and when I read your comment I felt touched so hard I was about to cry and to be someone like John Henry you can cry bc that's what some call being a man

@@grimreaper6896 yeah dude i think you said it right 🙌🙌

@@kuruakama 🤯 uh uh 😵

Exact But like really well

but the difference between the machine and man is that when a machine reach a limit they simply stop working but when a man reach them and it somthing that has to be done the man does not give he keep going till the job is done even it means pushing the body beyond there limits

Amen

If someone keeps going it means they haven’t reached their limit, a limit is when they literally can’t keep going anymore

Yes a limit on your body is where your body is literally incapable of moving but if you have enough will and actually tell your mind you can keep going you will

Preach. Amen

Fuck you wow

+Matt S. I just remade this video with different music, check it out on my channel if you want.

LONG LIVE THE STEEL DRIVING MAN

Your telling me that a stupid video that put trash music over a great tall tale deserves more views? There was clearly no effort put into this sad excuse for a video.

@@Cosmo47I wait they did THE BLACK THOR like that it was that bad cause I've never seen it

Not me

I will never watch it. They completely lost me when they decided to tell a modernized version of the Ballad of John Henry. As if people actually wanted that. Why was it so hard to make a movie about the actual tale of John Henry. That's what I wanna see. Not some cheap cash grab that nobody can connect with.
