    There are plenty of curious, quirky, and sometimes downright nasty people to meet in Red Dead Redemption 2-including many in its own open world. In this video, we take a look at some of these encounters to determine their historical accuracy-including one particularly notable group...

Yet you haven't gotten much recognision for your work, atleast not in the last 2 years. This is one of the best series' you'll find on youtube, truly a hidden gem.

    The primary sources you show are excellent too, if I may add, though some links to Primary and Secondary sources would go a long way. I know you're not a history teacher or like CynicalHisotrian, and citing books wiuld be a pain. Either way, love the videos and would love reading lists.

    I like that you criticized the depiction of the Klan in the game. It's good to remind people that it was largely just one of many decentralized revolutionary Southron groups (Redeemers, Redshirts, White League) during those times, and not as popular as the 2nd iteration of it.
    There's also more background to their inspiration from the Scots of burning crosses, because the original founders of the Klan were all Scots-Irish stock, so it was a sinister call-back for those roots.

    just wondering whether a "how historically accurate are horses in rdr2" would be worth making a video...like the tack they wore and the breeds we see in the game and whether they existed at the time or were in the US. but rockstar probably got that all accurate and idk if the video would be very short or just boring, thought id mention it anyway cause i feel like it could be cool
    or even just the animals in general - i assume every wild animal is actually native to the area but there are a few dog breeds to look at too, idk

    You can't just leave Abraham Lincoln's duel as a bullet point!
    Lincoln was challenged by James Shield to a duel, but as the person who was challenged Lincoln had the right to choose the weapon.
    Broadswords were not a common weapon at the time, at all, but Lincoln apparently had a set on hand and he chose them, rather than pistols or any other selection of sword, why?
    Lincoln, as many may know, was a large man, tall in stature and very fit. Shield had some balls already to challenge him, but he must have expected Lincoln to choose pistols in which case their physiques would not have mattered. But Lincoln chose the heaviest weapon available, walked over to a tree as shown in the illustration at 1:33 then chopped off a branch with one swing.
    Without any blood needing to be drawn or words being said Abraham Lincoln said to James Shield: "You don't want this fight." Then James promptly rescinded his challenge.
    It's one of my favourite stories from the time, Lincoln embodied the statement 'speak softly and carry a big stick.'
