I’m a descendant of both whites and Choctaws. A very sad chapter in the history of the US. But that’s why we remember: so that things like this don’t happen again.
@@mwright_boomer Remembrance is important. Any guest I have on Thanksgiving gets to watch "We Shall Remain". It's a hard watch, but if they lived through it, the least I can do is commit a few hours to watch it. Everyone should.
😢 I could write a long post here, but I won't, because it only enrages me. Suffice it to say that this is a topic close to me, that affects me deeply. I'm reminded of it on my daily walks that take me past the "Chieftains Museum", Chief Ridge's former mansion on the Oostanaula River. If there is a Hell, there is no doubt a special level for assholes that sell out their own people. Ironically, Chief Ridge's wife and family were removed because he didn't get back home in time to save them. Bet he didn't see that coming when he accepted the deal that would bring him all of that wealth. Tragically, our Native community is still being mistreated in every way. It hurts me to my soul 💔
Sorry to hear of your struggles. I don't know much about the situation in North America, I am only just for the first time in my life studying American history, gradually understanding. Thanks for watching.
@@ASMR_Historian Thank you for researching and presenting this. If you have not watched "We Shall Remain", I recommend it. Sad, but very enlightening.
As an Irish woman, I am looking forward to learning from this video,the Choctaw people in 1847 raised and sent 170 dollars to the Irish people who were dying of starvation due to the Great Famine,many of us today are still incredibly grateful for it and it is something generation after generation is made aware of ❤
Kansas is pronounced as you said, "kan-sis". Arkansas, as illogical as American English can be, is pronounced "Ar-kan-saw". I don't believe I commented on a different video of yours (Lewis and Clark, maybe), Sioux is pronounced "sue" or "s-eww", however is best to represent that sound. As I was complimented by a doctor when young, if you mispronounce a word, it's likely because you've only read it and not heard it spoken, which is admirable and shows intelligence. I had pronounced "duodenal" ulcer incorrectly but he was impressed I took it upon myself to learn the details of my condition and corrected my pronunciation kindly. I hope.you can sense the respect in my comment here. I love what I learn from you as your sweetly soothe me to sleep.
You did a very amazing job on this. As a Georgian I am familiar with the material but it's rarely discussed in great detail. I'd live to hear about the so called Underground Railroad. That's a other topic I've noticed is hard to research here in the stated. Thanks for the awesome content.
Thanks for your kind words! The Underground Railroad is on the list, along with a very many other American History videos, I have become a little fascinated with it lately.
Excellent as usual. The ages-old story of a people being conquered by a stronger and/or more technologically advanced people. Which doesn’t make the conquererors justified or make it any less heartbreaking what these tribes endured. I like to think the Choctaw chief was being sarcastic about the simple minded thing, but we’ll never truly know. “To be free.” There are quite a few Americans these days who now understand the simple word chice of the Creek chief more than ever. We like our “freedom” here, and the majority of us know it came at a high cost, first paid for by those who were here before Europeans, and secondly by Americans. There is a state park in Texas called Seminole Canyon where I learned, among other things, about enslaved blacks joining the Seminole tribe. Fascinating, as is so much of history on a whole! ArkanSAW Tecumseh (Tuh kum zuh) Dahlonega (duh lon ih guh) Macon (rhymes with bacon)
It is a brutal chapter of history, indeed, things were pretty brutal for everyone, depending on how the dice rolled it could be anyones turn to suffer. So many places in North America that I need to visit, I have lately become quite enamored with US history, I never learned anything about it in school or university.
@ Brutal indeed! One can read and study as much history as one can digest and not for a second truly understand the actual human experience of those who lived it. Sadly (for my fellow countrymen), you are likely more versed in American history despite being educated in Australia and only recently delving into it! I wish I had appreciated just how unique its relatively short history is when I was actually in school. This channel is my nightly companion. Many thanks!
i would continue my little tradition here, but not for this one. as an american the fact that this is constantly ignored in our history is disgusting. thank you for this video

I have no words for what these people had to endure. It's a shameful piece of American history
Am I REALLY the FIRST Cherokee to shed a tear for this video?
😢

My Choctaw ancestors walked and many died on the Trail of Tears. 😢
Sorry to hear that.

I do remember hearing about the donations sent by the Irish, also a video coming up about the famine soon. Thanks for watching.
And may the tears run more than the rivers till Justice, truth and peace are brought to the people forever

Surprised at how many people are commenting about their native ancestry, perhaps more of these kinds of videos to come.
The mug merch is so cool! If you sell more options I’d like to collect them
I had considered expanding the range. Did you have any suggestions?
Fantastic topic
Thanks mate.
I believe my dad's grandmother was full Cherokee....or her mom, Cherokee blood is in the family because of the Trail of Tears.
❤
LMAOO.
