There is and was a lot of gold in Georgia in the Dahlonega area, but the Spanish seemed to have bypassed that region of North Georgia.

YUP BEAT ALL THE TRIBES EXCEPT THE IROQUOIS CONFEDERACY LOL AND CLEARLY SHOWS ON HIS MAP HE TOOK A FAR LEFT FROM NEWYORK 😂😂😂😂😂🫵🏽PATHETIC

Another great episode. Learning so much!😀😀 Thank you!

Wait till you read the diaries of the explorers that went with EL TOVAR , one said a Hopi priest performed the whole Masonic ceremony, then shook his head ‘’ no ‘’ and said to the chief at awatobi, ‘’ these men are not the Promised White God returning. ‘’ Go figure, chapter 29 Isaiah kinda talks about this ,

Interestingly I'm descendant of both William Cecil and John calvert through my grandma and grandfather on my dad's side.

Not like (Brillo Pad)Ca-bri-yo

What about the people who was banished there for criminal acts.

Another great episode. A question: do you know if the letters were originally in Latin or Spanish or other? Thanks so much for your great work!

5:03 Never take anything without a grain of salt, hysteria and activists are a dime a dozen when concerning people throughout history.

I’m from a southeastern tribe. The town called “Aute” could be the word “aati” which just means the people or maybe “aatiha”meaning many people or a town perhaps.

Another great installment!

Prehaps south america had been visited by fisherman who weren't offically sactioned sources.

Re: "The Spanish crown recalls Colombus back in 1496..." therefore there must have then been ship making the voyage after Colombus to carry such messages. Ships of the crown are able to find their way to the Indies from Spain, presumedly following navigation instructions Colombus had created while in Spain.

another great episode!

This is probably way out of sequence for you(i just recently discovered your channel--really like it), but could you do a series of Francisco de Orellana? (1st European to descend the Amazon. Father Carbahal, his priest, wrote quite an account of his journey. There might be other sources. His description of latge population centers, roads and temples along the Amazon was thought to be fantasy.....until recent years when rainforest clearance and lidar began to show the account was likely accurate and the population very large. Research into Amazonian civilizations is ongoing)

I am the 10th generational male descendant of the Huguenot Pierre Chastain, b. 1659 in Charoost province of Berri, France. His father and grandfather, and l believe GG Grand father were notaire royal at Charoost starting in 1597. They fled to Yverfon, Switzerland approximately 1692, then to Holland , then London. He arrived in Virginia USA in 1700. I’m very proud to be related to them. May God Bless everyone. From Liberty, Missouri. Peace.

Great stuff! Had King John of Portugal already sent expeditions down he coast of Africa by the time he meets Colombus sailing back from the America's?

I'm here in jan 2025 to start the whole series from the beginning after I watched the excellent early New England unit. It Is intriguing that the documents Colombus agreed with the Spanish crowd have an expectation that new lands will be found.... was this due to educated geographic specultion or had some sailors already been out there, or other? I guess we can only speculate.. Great stuff! Best history series I've found on you tube!

"Columbus", we don't really know his real name, or that this his portrait, wasn't a Christian at all. On the contrary, he was a Spanish Crypto-Jew (Murano). One of many that made up the various "Pirates of the Caribbean". His "departure" date from Spain was the date of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain on Tish b'Av, 1492. Of course, Jews/Semites had been invading Spain since the time of the Carthaginians. The name "Spain" itself is derived from "Shepheard", home of the "Sephardic Jews". Columbus played the role of Catholic missionary by day, but signed all of his personal letters home to his friends and family with the Hebrew letters beit-hay (ב”ה) which are short for "with god's help". I suppose he needed "help" with all of the enslaving and exploitation. A truly vile creature who not only didn't do anything remotely close to what is attributed to him, but was knowingly and actively Evil, even by the standards of the literal Spanish Inquisition back home.

John Haynes is my (however many greats) grand pappy! I’d love any links to any more information about him if you have any!

Hello I am a dependent from Henry Rust from Hingham do you by chance have any information on the Rust name in the early founding of Massachusetts? Thanks

Great video! Thanks so much for your hard work!

The panhandle is in the NORTH near Alabama not in the south

The assimilation idea might explain the melungeon people of Appalachia.

You should read the primary sources from the Cortez expedition. He was most assuredly NOT riding into towns and just slaughtering villagers and taking their stuff. There was no way that 600-700 Spaniards walk into an empire of over 12 million and conquer it in such a fashion. Because of la Marina and Fr. Aguilar being able to act as translators for Chontal and Nahuatl, he made alliances and played against the unpopularity of the Aztec authorities, including their priests of blood. The Tarascans were instrumental in particular. Cabeza de Vaca, pronounced with a "b" sound for the "V" in Vaca. The head of the bull, it was a family honorific they had earned in the wars during the Reconquista. I am glad you are covering his story, it is miraculous.

(maternal) Grandfather - (1945) harry cossaboom (Karseboom) DIGBY, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA. 9TH OR 11th (maternal) Jan Evertszen Karseboom - Holland not sure from where?

I am french and descendant of old huguenot family from Bordeaux and La Rochelle. Huguenots were calvinists not lutherians. I know I have ancestors who left France for America.

I live in the OCUTE/ COFAQI area of georgia in greene co ga! A friend of mine were talking about his grandfather or maybe his great grandfather and all the indian artifacts his grandfather had collected from plowing the fields with a mule in the early 1900s! He kept them in an old country store where as a kid my dad would stop by a talk to him! He has since passed away 30 or 40 years ago! My friend and i were talking about his artifacts and he told me he had found a 15th century spanish coin plowing the fields as well! I asked his family still had it and he said no it was lost when the original country store burned in the 1920s or 30s! He later rebuilt store in same place! The largest indian mound complex in greene county is in the same area of southeastern greene county as well! I imagine that coin of whats left of it could be under ir around that old store thats still standing today and pretty well maintained! The map shows De Soto did come thru my area as i was told as a kid and the coin reinforces that!

Great stuff!

Great content... Never knew New Hampshire's origin... super interesting and well done!

Seems like the expedition just blundered and plundered from village to village saying " wheres the gold " ? That a few of them found there way back home is a miracle

Natives were smart , they just told DeSoto the next village had gold to get rid of the spaniards

What about the Ethiopian looking people ? With strong arms and well built legs ? In 1524.. seems like those people were reclassified as negro and enslaved with the Africans who came just kind of like what happen in “VIRGINIA INDIANS MAY BE CLASSIFIED WITH NEGRO RACE”, Foundational Black Americans oral history says we intermingled with the BLACK “Ethiopian” looking Indians (who were the originals) and the asiatic Indians also.

It's a intriguiing series. Unfortunately the media today is so keen to rewrite and simplify history to fit their narrative. History rarely fit modern narrative. Actually it's full of surprising fact. Like, a black man would feel much safer and respected in Nazi Berlin in '36 than in New York (let alone southern US States). An unconfortable truth but yet it explains why there were actual Nazi groups in the US at the time. A piece of missing context for this part. I've researched a bit and I haven't found any mention if de las Casas actually spoke English, but I doubt it. So the translation shown here must be someone else's. The earliest transalations occured as part of a propaganda effort in the late XVI century by the British to cast the Spaniards in a bad light, and pose themselves as the liberators of the Indies. It's no wonder they turned de las Casas in a celebrity of sorts. So exaggeration was not only part of style of the time, and clearly a choice by de las Casas, but I wonder how much of it is due to the translation itself. De las Casas neutral position towards Columbus speaks volumes indeed. He wasn't a fan, but he probably sided with Columbus when he denounced the status of disarray of the colonies. Unfortunately we have little of what Columbus actually wrote. A lot of stuff arrived to us via "translations", we don't know how accurate they are. This allows speculations to be made, and then turned into "facts". Also, de las Casas efforts weren't fruitless. See sourcebooks.fordham.edu/mod/1542newlawsindies.asp. It's 1542 and the King writes "We have ordered provision to be made that from henceforward the Indians in no way be made slaves". Even more significant is another paragraph: "Because report has been made to us that owing to the pearl fisheries not having been conducted in a proper manner deaths of many Indians and Negroes have ensued, We command that no free Indian be taken to the said fishery under pain of death, and that the bishop and the judge who shall be at Veneçuela direct what shall seem to them most fit for the preservation of the slaves working in the said fishery, both Indians and Negroes, and that the deaths may cease. If, however, it should appear to them that the risk of death cannot be avoided by the said Indians and Negroes, let the fishery of the said pearls cease, since we value much more highly (as is right) the preservation of their lives than the gain which may come to us from the pearls." Of course, this is not to be seen in the context of "human rights", rather more "it pleases the King". But still.

Weston! I went to high school in Weston ma... no one told us the town was named after a real SOB!

Squanto RIP - what a life! As if Richard Dryfus in Close Encounters evenutally comes back to earth, finds his community wiped out, and ends up as a freelance fixer for the Aliens when they subsquently come back to colonise earth..

Trading beaver pelts from england to the new england natives for corn is ...ironic... presumedly the pelts came orignally from the baltics or russia, while beavers were/are common in new england itself.

Another great episode. Boy i'm learning a lot!

Calumny means slander.

Plenty of wild turkeys today in Mass....

learning so much! thank you. I am intrigued about Massasoit - ive always learned that was his name and he was Sagamore/chief od the Wampanog confederation. In your series you refer to his tribe, as well as his name, as both being Massasoit. Does this mean Massasoit (tribe) were a part of the Wampanog confederation?

Found out about 6 years ago George Percy was my ancestor. 😳💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲
