Philadelphia: The Great Experiment (Franklin's Spark)
The infamous Paxton Boys were angry about the Pennsylvania government's municipal and fiscal dealings with local Native American tribes--so they decided to take action into their own hands. What was the aftermath of this for American domestic relations, for a colony full of revolution-hungry anarchists, and for Philadelphia history? Watch to find out!

Aside from the horrible wigs, this video has good content. Thanks for a good video I can post in my course's announcement page as a way to keep engaging with my students.
I have 1/16 or so Conestoga in me my family who were Indian probably retreated into the Alleghenies after said massacre. I wish this didn’t happen because there isn’t a single Conestoga left and researching them they really held their own in their territories for hundreds of years. What a shameful genocide
The massacre had nothing do with self protection
Anyone else here for mr mac?
shut up
direct descendant of Reverend John Elder. Very interesting family history
Colorado Haze been reading a lot about this massacre. I came across it doing genealogical research. A brother to my ancester eas living in paxtang. I have also been researching the history of scotland and the scots-irish. There is lot's to proud of (remember Mel Gibson in Braveheart fighting for freedom?). But this massacre certainly is shameful. I was shocked to come across it. Yes, interesting history. If only we could all live in peace. Nice to meet you, Elder descendant.
I married Susan Elder, a descendant of James Elder, who was a brother of the Rev. John Elder. That branch of the Elder clan moved to the piedmont section of NC before the Revolution, where many still reside. The NC Elders are a close-knit bunch and enjoy getting together often. If you want to have a deeper understanding of the Scots-Irish culture, then I recommend Albion's Seed by David H. Fischer. The book is 900 pages, but the section on the Scots-Irish is 1/4th of the book. It explains a lot about their mindset, even down to today.
Yeah that guy sucks
The Paxton boys are my ancestors
Awesome
nobody cares
Ohh so you’re saying violence got them exactly what they wanted ??? -_-
Rev. John Elder is my 9th Great Grandfather from my mom's side of the family. He was the first American Gangster... Proud to have been his 9th Great Grandson. Paxton Boyz for Life!
I mean the Paxton Boys kind of brutally massacred people, so I'm not sure if the 'Paxton Boyz for Life!" is necessary

I played little league baseball with a Zac Elder. Field right by Paxton Presbyterian church. His dad was John Elder the whatever it was at that point. Lived right there on Elder road.
