As Sharon digs deeper in to the story she realises it’s a case of the American Dream gone wrong. Sharon’s great-great-grandparents, lured by the promise of work in a cotton mill town advertised as paradise, found the harsh reality very different.

I used to wait on the Osborne’s at the Beverly hills hotel in 1990. Sharon looked nothing like she does today. The kids were tiny. And Ozzy (John), was super polite. They were sweet to the staff.

Thank you for sharing this! I always have wondered if they are as nice as I’ve felt like they would be.

I absolutely love Sharon. She’s such a strong and beautiful woman. Seeing her reactions to finding out about her family. You can truly see her empathy and sympathy for her ancestors.

Fall River is where Lizzie Borden and her family lived.

@lisapellegrino7617 6 месяцев назад

My ancestors lived about one mile from Lizzie’s street. Many kids. All worked at the mills. One ancestor killed by machinery at the mill. Another young ancestor lost a finger at the mill. Many of my ancestor’s kids did not make it to adulthood. They died of malnutrition and disease brought on by poor living and working conditions.

Every English person has thousands maybe millions of ancestral connections to America. And almost every country they colonized... I live in USA and have tens of thousands of 4th cousins in UK, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, all over the place. They come up on 23andMe and all the places I uploaded that DNA to.

@TracyD2 6 месяцев назад

@laurabailey1054 6 месяцев назад

I have zero ancestral connections to the US in my family, they can all be traced back to the UK. My mother’s family didn’t start coming to Canada until 1916 and my father’s family didn’t come to Canada until the 1950’s.

When the Revolutionary War broke out, the average US soldier was a few inches taller than the average British soldier. This was because the portions of chicken, pork and beef was so bountiful in the colonies. Great Britain was a stratified society. The colonies had no such thing. Industrialization created the new rich in America and peaked with the Vanderbilts, Rockefeller and such.

@MsPinkwolf 6 месяцев назад

Did you even watch the film? And apart from protein (which you can also get from a lot of healthy foods) eating a lot of meat is not a good thing.

@aria8942 6 месяцев назад

It's not meat that's a bad thing. It's what the animal was fed, it's the hormones, it's preservatives, it's antibiotics, the environment it was raised, etc... Back then, that want an issue. @@MsPinkwolf

@jamesdellaneve9005 6 месяцев назад

@@MsPinkwolf Just look at North Korea versus South Korea. Just look at China. They’ve grown 9 centimeters over the last 35 years. They’ve had hundreds of millions of poor people move into the middle class. The same thing happened with the colonies versus those stuck back in England. The portions of meat was the big differentiator. Not Brussels sprouts.

So sad. At least we treat most of our slaves better today. But not all. I wonder if the corporate owners from Fall River Mass. family members generations later are still owners of big businesses in America? I would imagine so.

@colleenobrien8212 6 месяцев назад

You have slaves today?

@jamesdellaneve9005 6 месяцев назад

Most wealth does not last for more than one generation. Even the Vanderbilts wealth ended within 3 generations. He had more money than the US government. Look at all of the abandoned mansions in the UK after WWII. Once colonial based businesses ended after the war, they just walked away from their mansions when the socialists taxed their properties.

And the Catholic Church also preaches having large families because that is guaranteed income in the future for them got to get that 10%... they could care less what a financial or emotional stress or physical stress it is on the Family... during the Potato Famine the priests used to ring the church bell for the people to bring food for his dinner even if it meant taking it out of their own children's mouths
