Please follow up on the connection to Georgia and South Carolina. Don't stop at the American Revolution though. There could be extremely fascinating links to southern secession and the Confederacy.

Well think about it. If it was dark, they could be hooked off from an upper window or snatched off from behind in a crowd. In daylight, the wearer could be knocked down or lured into a secluded place and robbed. It was probably easier than lifting a wallet.

As someone who grew up in Georgia, the transportation of prisoners (in particular debt prisoners) is one of the first things we're taught in our state history classes (right after the Giant Sloths and Mound Builders). I'd be curious to see the study of the descendants of those transported to go past the American Revolution up through the Civil War. It'd be very interesting to see how long that spirit of rebellion stayed in their family lines.

11:40 Objection, Jaywalking is not a thing in the UK. Traffic is expected to give way to pedestrians.

@ErdeZ 4 года назад

Sounds like a nightmare. We have the same thing, but only on crosswalks (and even then only if the traffic light, if one exists, is green) or on roads with allowed vehicle speeds of 20KM/h or lower (parking lots, etc). I can only imagine the traffic troubles your laws cause in a country with such a huge population compared to mine (little under 6 million citizens).

@historymysteries4134 4 года назад

Pedestrians have legal and moral right of way but we still have to dodge buses and lorries.

@gonvillebromhead2865 4 года назад

Brits are taught from childhood to only cross the road when clear - Green Cross Code and all that. Whilst perfectly legally allowed to step into a road of busy traffic, and if you do get hit it is legally the drivers fault (though for a criminal conviction it gets a bit trickier), it is a non-issue as generally the thought of having ones skull caved in by an arctic acts as a disincentive.

@Zveebo 4 года назад

Erde It doesn’t cause any problems really. Drivers have a responsibility to watch out for pedestrians so have to drive a little more carefully. Pedestrians equally know to be sensible and cross busy roads at crossings. On quieter roads, they will cross wherever they fancy and it causes no issues. It seems kind of bizarre to me that there are countries in the world where crossing a normal road could be illegal tbh.

@CasshernSinz1613 4 года назад

Same in the USA, however, if you are car on an interstate going 60mi/hr (96km/hr) then it is NOT even possible to react fast enough to a random pedestrian running across the road. By the time you see them you are already on them. Jay-Walking is meant to protect drivers from reckless pedestrians who walk onto traffic with no regard to drivers. Because the driver would otherwise be charged with manslaughter for something they really couldn't prevent. Europe from my experience is insane. Idk how the hell you people drive at all (but then again driving is less prevalent in Europe than the US). Seriously, especially in southern Europe, people have absolutely no regard for rules of the road and just do whatever they want and it's a chaotic mess.

@Inucroft 4 года назад

20:00 Peterloo was a "Radical" related incident. The radical movement later inspired the Chartist movement. The Charist movement also co-insided with the Rebecca Riots events in Wales.

@CanuckMonkey13 4 года назад

Ahh, the descendant/ancestor mixup. I hear it often from many sources. Once, as a teen, I was telling my parents about a documentary I had watched about the Franklin Expedition (probably the Beechey Island excavations) and I was especially interested in the fact that one of the expeditions members was being exhumed by one of his "ancestors". My dad teased me about that one!

I think the film "Plunkett and Maclence" is a loose adaption of the Johnathon Wilde / Jack Shepard stories. The main characters are "gentlemen highwaymen" and a bit different, Plunkett is a Jack Shepard type and the thief-taker general is Johnathon Wilde by another name.

@ProjectSeventy 4 года назад

Regarding the top hats, to the best of my knowledge the hats were specially reinforced so as to protect from blows to the head and so they could be used as stools, as mentioned. They also had high collars to protect from garroting. Initially, police officers had to be in uniform all the time, and wore a black and white striped armband to signify being on duty.

@frankie2394 4 года назад

@jannegrey593 4 года назад

I hope they will talk one day about Surete. It was really the first "full" Police Force, and they did some amazing stuff. Sadly films about it are not much better. I've read about it in Jurgen Thorwald's book: A Century of the Detective. Great book for everyone that is interested in history of Police and mostly History of Forensic Sciences.

Good wigs are still cost thousands of dollars. You can get cheap ones (the ones you see in poorer communities and the colored ones young people wear), but there's a big market for $2000 - $10,000 wigs in the US, especially on the East Coast.

@wendychavez5348 4 года назад

In college I had a classmate with gorgeous auburn hair--100% natural--who said her hairdresser had made repeated offers to buy it from her if she ever cut it. My sister's hair grows very quickly, and she usually donayes it to Locks of Love for cancer patients. It counts as a significant tax deduction

@BigHenFor 4 года назад

Wigs that are handmade with human hair attract the most value. One with the hairs individually hand tied and laced are most the expensive because they are the most realistic. For that you'd have to visit a trained wigmaker, because the cost is mostly labour, because it's detailed and time consuming placing each individual hair.

1920s you say? Irish War of Independence please! It's actually timely right now as our Prime Minister is getting enormous flak for proposing a commemoration of the armed force that subjugated the Irish population, and it and the Home Rule crisis are pretty much the explanation for why Ireland is the shape it is today. Which is useful for people wondering about the border given Brexit. Plus, I reckon Americans like revolutionary stories.

Transportation did not end up with revolution in Australia. Poverty creates the sort of crime that results in transportation. Transportation to a colony can open up economic opportunities not available in the metropolis. The decedents of the transportee could end up better off then if their ancestor had not been transported.

@BigHenFor 4 года назад

Only once that had served their sentence. For the poor or unskilled, they could be sent to Labour for farmers as indentured Labour. It was no picnic. One of the leaders of the Chartist movement was transported to Australia and although he was a tradesman, he died in poverty.
