As a Dutch man i'm just an outsider looking in; America's history fascinates me. Thank you very much for sharing, sir. Appreciate it a lot. Greets from the Netherlands 🌷, T.
Through it all of our success & failure's, things im proud of our ancestors, things im not. Im so grateful for wanting freedom, it takes alot of time, still today we are trying to preform "A more perfect union"
@@A_Talented_Maori you mean the natives that were constantly killing each other, raiding, enslaving, raping? You mean the people that were here for thousands of years and yet, didn't know how to invent the wheel? The same people who believed there were "spirits" possessing everything? Why don't you look at the natives who saw the white man's culture much more advanced and decided to betray their savage family members/tribesmen who kidnapped babies? Right. Cry more.
@@A_Talented_Maori Its all well and good saying that but if that were to be the case,the "Natives"would still be living in mudhuts,tee-pee's or something of the sort. Cant have it both ways 😉.
@@Anglo_Saxon1 Whether you realize it or not, it's kind of racist to assume that the native people would not have thrived without European intervention. We absolutely decimated their way of life to impose ours.
Every nation has gone through their crap, the Jews, the British, Africans, Chinese immigrants not just the Indians. The list goes on because man has forgotten God and turned to ungodly practices. So man pays the price. The God of this world has blinded the eyes of the unbeliever so they cannot see the glory of Christ. Christ is the light ; without him you will be in darkness pointing to every direction that leads to death. Just sayin I was blind and now I see.
@@Jabberstax you're an idiot. They were fighting each other long before the settlers got there and engaged in savage behavior. Thousands of years on the land and they didn't invent the wheel nor ships. How about you leave western society now since you have a problem with it. Dumbass.
@@paulm.6818 I was trying provoke thought in people to do that too… wars were going on in Europe and that’s when the monarchy gave up power to parliament in exchange for funds and it got to a point where they would grant the king enough funds for a day at a time.. and the real Royal line was broken….
It's called a discovery because for thousands of years the people living on the European continent didn't know this land existed. So to those Europeans it was discovered.
red man should have fought harder🤔they far out numbered the settlers for first few years they could have easily killed off the whiteman but they didn’t cus they wanted stuff they had so there greed and personal want cost them there so called land. it was discovered and it was taken that’s how world works!
Well, we are the only living entity on Earth that can pass on new informati9on from generation to generation. But it has to be true information, (unlike our schools today), or we became almost as dumb as farm animals again. Have you talked with today's college students today? Sabotage.

Biden who gave an evil promise to work like the devil, ...the ten commandments would have been the laws of the land with them claiming others as savages while they think they csn manipulate their truths?
My problem with this work is that Jamestown occurred first (1607) where the Mayflower occupants arrived later (1620) . . . Yet, these fine people have the Mayflower occupants listed first . . .
"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." John 8:36! IN GOD WE TRUST was the ONLY way to be FREE... Body, soul, mind and spirit! HALLELUJAH! 🙏👏💞
Love the America, the beautiful. We love man and boy, who best serve our nation to be free and independent of becoming the powerful and industrialized land. The British Queen always loves and gives America.
teacher really got us watching a whole movie, my english teacher, like man it's english class, why are we learning about the US history in ENGLISH CLASS
@@wolverinegrey6580 @Wolverine Grey In some ways I am indeed very grateful for those who "blazed the trail" for us but honestly, in some ways I am ashamed. I wish that all of them were amazing but that's just not reality. Our history is also full of a lot of greed and inhumanity. I really think that America could have been just fine without the destruction of so much of the Native Americans existence before us as well as the degradation of those brought here by force to work for free under unimaginable conditions. Other than that part of the trail blazing, we sure are very lucky ✌️🇺🇸✌️
Buen documental que sin embargo olvida una vez más la muy importante ayuda prestada por España a la causa de la Independencia, con ayuda de todo tipo y héroes militares como Bernardo de Gálvez, que sólo en los últimos años ha visto reconocidos sus servicios con una estatua en el Capitolio.
@@rickyyacine4818 Well My Friend, something that you didn't know or you don't want to know is that Spain was the key factor for the win in The Revolutionary War. There is an article from The Massachusetts Society 'Sons of the American Revolution' ( SAR ) called ‘Spain and the Independence of The United States.’ and after reading the article/report it is not a surprise to know than the Spanish Commander Bernardo de Galvez has the same honour of be Honorary Citizeship of the United States like Laffayete Using the information provided by the ‘Sons of the American Revolution’ and more information provided by Fede Vida. Spanish aid was as very,very important. After the Seven Years war, the Spanish army and navy were in no condition to face the English. From 1770 the Spaniards limited themselves to maintaining an intelligence service in the British colonies. Starting in 1776, Spain began supplying the continental army with materials through the Mississippi River from the city of New Orleans. Among other things, Spain supplied the following: 30,000 muskets 30,000 bayonets 500,000 bullets 300,000 pounds of gun powder 200 cannons or more plus 249 cannons taken form the British in combat 12000 grenades 4000 tents Medicines Uniforms (The army that won the battle of Saratoga had been practically full equipped by Spain. The same for the battle of Yorktown) Huge amounts of hard currency, silver "reales de a ocho", since the continental currency was nothing. In addition, the use of Spanish ports, especially Havana, was open to the rebel navy. in these ports their ships were repaired and resupplied, by the Spanish for free, while they avoided the blockade of the American ports by the British navy. In 1779 Spain declared war on Great Britain, causing its forces to be even more scattered. In 1780 the capture of the double English convoy took place. A Spanish-French joint fleet under the command of Spanish Commander, Don Luis de Córdova captured 55 British transports of two convoys that were sailing together, one heading to the East Indies and the other to America. In this action the British lost huge amounts of material, 3,000 prisoners, of which 1,400 were going to reinforce the colonial forces, and 1,000,000 pounds in gold. I think it is, to date, the biggest loss of logistics equipment that the British have suffered. King George III suffered a lipothymy after the news of the combat and losses. Just before the Battle of Yorktown the situation of the continental army was untenable and desertions reached a worrying level. From a letter from Washington to Robert Morris: "I must entreat you, if possible, to procure one month's pay in specie for the detachment under my command. Part of the troops have not been paid anything for a long time past and have upon several occasions shown marks of great discontent. " From another letter, this one from Rochambeau to De Grasse: "I should not conceal from you, M. L'admiral, that these people are at the very end of the resources or that Washington will not have at his disposal half of the number of troops he counted upon having. While he is secretive on this subject I believe that at present he has not more than 6,000 men all told ". De Grasse arrived in Havana desperate for money. At that time, only a small part of the required amount was available in the Spanish treasury. Don Francisco Saavedra, Commissioner of the Crown, required help from the citizens of Havana. In six hours the necessary money was raised. Also the Cathedral of Malaga (Spain) is not finished because we remove all the funds for the Patriots. It has only a tower instead the two planned. Did you know why the French fleet was able to support the rebels in Yorktown? Because the Spanish fleet promised to patrol and defend French ports in the Caribbean in the meantime. Important mention deserves the offensive made by the Spanish forces under the command of Don Bernardo de Gálvez, who seized and won the battles of New Orleans, San Louis, Baton Rouge, Natchez, Mobile and Pensacola from the English, capturing 1,400 prisoners and preventing many British forces from facing the rebels and also planning a deep attack against British, in several places, until connect with the Patriots. The Brits knew about the plans and turned in panic as they were losing all the battles against the Spanish in US lands and they felt than the French were in better conditions for fight and becoming more tacticals in naval battles under the command of the De Grasse aided by the Spanish officers. Also Spanish Navy attacked Bahamas in order to keep busy the Brits as was accorded with French. Don’t forget that the Spanish battalions have several called Batallones de Pardos y Morenos ( Battalions of Creoles and Blacks ) involved in the fight with black and creoles commanders too. What did Spain get in return? Contempt and more contempt. And a hundred years later the remains of our old and tired empire would be taken from us with a fake ‘casus belli’ ( USS Maine ). Finally, so far, US didn’t pay back a cent of the money that we gave for the Revolution. The payment consisted in remove us from the real history. Let me say that the freedom you have is the freedom we gave you with a huge cost of funds, ships and lives…our money and our troops. For these reasons the person who was riding a horse on the right of George Washington during the first celebration of the Day of the Independence was the Spanish Commander Bernardo de Galvez who is, in fact, Honorary Citizen of US by the Congress of United States. Now, go and tell it to your mother and to your teacher !
It’s interesting to hear the tone of the narrator during the abandonment of Pocahontas by John Smith. Neglecting the part about how John Rolfe was burnt at the stake while the Powhatan women scraped his live flesh off with clams. NBD. 😊
I don't think one group of Americans pushing another group of Americans off a cliff is very much like freedom it's more like there ain't enough room for all of us if somebody you got to go
As soon as it began and he said the country started at the Hudson river, I knew this was bogus. America began in Jamestown, Virginia. The Puritans on the Mayflower got here 13 years later, the country was already being settled. Much of this history was kept from being taught loud in schools because Virginia was a southern state. It was not taught at all right after the civil war. I dont know why Plymouth Massachusetts always claims to have started America, it didnt.....
Jamestown actually had a lot problems ,because John Smith to them if they didn't work ,they won't eat. My grandpa was in bacons rebellion and they had problems with the Indians stealing from from them. Plymouth was a successful colony, which they had less problems.
The name for this documental must be: THE STORY OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, I'm from Perú and as a Mexican, Argentinian, Chilean ,... feels disappointment and offense. We are all Americans, 35 beautiful countries that live in liberty and peace like brothers and sisters. Regards from Lima-Perú.
Sorry son, but you don't know the difference between the philosophies of government control of your life and individual liberty. Nobody is free on this Earth today, unless you are the dictator. And even they have to watch their backs.
Five Good Books, Adventure, Travel, Have New Experiences, Enjoy. Rest give in God's hand. No need to read than necessary. Too much or too little can kill you. It has to be in the defined mold.
I hope you do my friend. Many Americans who were born here take it for granted. They alternate every 4-8 years complaining about a man who doesn’t have as much power or influence as they think he does. It’s such a “us vs them” mentality that we just can’t seem to be American Together. I hope u are an American above a republican or democrat. Very few of them left.
The slaves brought to America by the Europeans were - of course - not "the first slaves" on American soil. Before the European colonization the Native Americans had enslaved each other. The people who were conquered were enslaved. That was common practice all over the world. The first people to think about that as "unjust" were the Christian Europeans. If - for example - Muslims had conquered America, they wouldn't have granted land (the reservations) to the Native Americans, they wouldn't have signed treaties: They would have killed or enslaved them.
Even the Indians were immigrants, they crossed the Bering Land Bridge over into North America from Asia. This was a few years back before you could hire guys at Home Depot to landscape your lawn and run leaf blowers at 7am in the morning.
Plymouth was established as a communal society and failed, half starved to death. When people were allowed to have their own land and work for themselves, they had abundance and shared with the Indians. Also, the first slaves were Irish prisoners from England, not blacks. The Irish had a death sentence and were worked to death. The Irish women were bred with the blacks. They payed large sums of money for black slaves, so they treated them fairly well.
That is what I understand also, and it makes sense. The "commune" life failed, (they had nothing to steal from, like free enterprise is stolen from by communism today), and then property and individual rights were a success.
The information in this is very inaccurate. This is not worth watching. Squanto was an opportunist who made nice with the Pilgrims in the hope that they would help put him in the position of leader of the tribe. He died an outcast from the Native community, as a traitor to his people. John Smith had to return to England because the dum-dum tried to light his pipe while wearing a satchel of gunpowder around his neck, and it blew up in his face. Pocahontas was 10 years old at the time and never met the man. A few years later she was abducted by people in Jamestown, stolen from her husband and child. After a year of being imprisoned, she was only allowed to be "free" if she agreed to marry John Rolfe - who then took her to England and toured her around as a marketing tool. Well after she became an advertisement for the people who more or less enslaved her, she died at the age of 21, John Smith used her fame to spice up his autobiography. Not only did he claim that Pocahontas was in love with him, but he complained about 9 other native women who wouldn't stop making sexual advances to him.
And somehow Jamestown didn't contribute to the culture of America? Jamestown was the beginning of America and its survival was a miracle consider the harsh conditions.

I'm not going to waste my time on any video that starts off with the Mayflower as this country's beginning, it is 100% incorrect. Start with Jamestown or don't start at all.

Completely not true. Slaves and indentured servants were here as early as 1619. Indentured Servants typically earned their “freedom” after seven to eight years of service. Often times immigrants indentured themselves out in order to pay for the voyage to America. Then there was a prospect of being free eventually....within their lifetime. Such hope was not extended to the African slave as their slavery was strictly based on their race. The Emancipation Proclamation was signed by Lincoln 1 January 1863 but unfortunately some slavers illegally did not adhere to that decree until 1865. During the coming years post Civil War, oppressive laws were made, particularly in the southern states, to prevent newly freed slaves to advance. Subsequent years and into generations, these laws turned into the Jim Crow years. It took an additional century plus to overturn such oppressive laws that prevented people of color to advance. The remnant of such post attitudes continues to exist in our country and even globally to this day. My 95 year old father’s father was a slave and was told first hand what it was like to be in bondage. This first hand account was not that long ago, which means this horror that occurred in our country was not that long ago. Please refrain from minimizing the after shocks of brutally forcing free labor from a people that were stolen from their land. Learn your complete American History. Without slave labor our great country would not have been built. From the very beginning there has been a struggle over slavery, our Founding Fathers fought over this issue in Independence Hall. Less than 30% of our Founding Fathers owned slaves which means more than half did not. Though it is important to remember and celebrate men like John Adams and His famous abolitionist father, John Quincy Adams, refusing to own a slaves; we should also understand the issue about slavery in our great country was wicked and to “never forget” (a Holocaust motto). However, more importantly than that is to remember what our amazing Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson said, .....”we hold these truths to be self evident, that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain UNALIENABLE RIGHTS, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.....”
@@kimweidner7351 i agree with about 65% of what you stated but in 1619 we were a British colony until 1776. You cannot deny that. The first black politicians were republicans and democrats hated them all the way back then….
@@T.R.R.Jolkien I'm sorry, but what does 1776 have to do with people of color and their ability to celebrate Independence Day in the late 18th century? Correct me if I'm wrong, but Independence Day was July 4, 1776, people held in bondage were not legally able to celebrate that until nearly a century later. Your "way back then" reference does not hold, especially when even the Proclamation Emancipation, signed by Lincoln January 1, 1863 - two plus years prior to Juneteenth, was not fully given to every slave until December 6, 1865 - not the widely believed date of June 19, 1865. I am fully aware that Republicans actively sought to set the slaves free, abolitionist were active from the very beginning of our country; even during colonial years. It was abolitionist leaders like William Lloyd Garrison, who spoke directly to Abraham Lincoln convincing him that nothing good will ever come from slavery. So.... I'm not sure what 65% of what I had to say you agree with.....unfortunately your opinion on history does not matter, especially historical facts surrounding slavery. Only the facts matter, not your opinions. The Republicans emancipated the slaves, I never disputed that. But it is tragic that it took a civil war for our country to recognize the evils of slavery. An additional century would pass before civil rights were granted to the offsprings of the newly emancipated people held in bondage for no other reason than their race.
@@kimweidner7351 the first black politicians were republicans. Northern democrats and southern Dixiecrats held all the slaves. Not one republican was a slave owner. Prove me wrong. Have a wonderful weekend
@@T.R.R.Jolkien what does white people owning black people for hundreds of years in our country have to do with the Republicans and demo-rats? I will have a wonderful day, I wish you the same.
