This is my puritans ancestor. It’s horrifying to learn about this dark history. I think the French were stealing women. Some didn’t make it back. Left in Canada. This is just a small bit of the story.
Every tribe and First Nations from the Inuits up north to the Navajo down south knew that you cannot travel long distances on foot in the harsh conditions and terrain of North America while carrying a newborn or even a toddler. Let alone trying to travel stealthy through enemy territory where opposing war parties could eliminate you if found.
@@bonnieprincecharlie6248 Not really. Yes, there was warfare but only the hostile Indians subjected their enemies to such cruelties, and that, even upon babies, children and women (none of these engaged in warfare) - something the settlers did not partake in. I have a book that gives an account during the Revolutionary War, 1782, where the Seneca tribe delivered to the English 8 large packages that held scalps taken on the frontier - of largely innocent farmers and their families. Indian symbols were included with each to tell how the scalps were taken These packages contained the following. Package #1 - scalps of 43 Congress Soldiers, & 62 Farmers (surprised at night). Package #2. 98 farmers scalps taken while doing farm work, by surprise. #3. 97 farmers. #4 102 farmers, 18 marked as burned alive and their nails pulled out by the roots and other torments. Package #5. 88 scalps of women. #6 193 boy's scalps. #7. 211 girl's scalps. & package # 8. a mixture of 122 scalps including 29 little infants scalps. The settlers did not engage in such evils.
Whites paid 1 dollar for the scalps of native babies and thousands of them were scalped of the skin on their skulls only to then have their brains bashed out on the rocks and trees. Women were scalped for 50 cents and had their tit's cut off. If pregnant had their babies cut out along with their private parts so soldiers could sport them on their saddle horns and warrior, scalps brought 25 cents. Scalping was taught to us by the English and French. No native tribe ever scalped people until we learned it from the white man!
Excellent job on the pronunciation of Haverhill. Most non natives of Mass, mispronounce alot of the town's names here. I'm impressed with how much his presentation has improved over the course of this channel. He's so much more confident in his presentation. Not to be insulting, but he's gone from sounding like a kid reading his book report, to a professional presenter. I especially liked the history channel jokes at the end of the episode before this one. I really look forward to every video.
@@sandyfreyman350190% today would steal from any farmer or rancher they come upon. They are to used to living in cities and many have zero clue how to cook, without burning water.
The French-Indian War period is absolutely remarkable in 'available experiences' via archives Hope this channel pays more attention to it. It was an age largely forgotten in the mythical dust of the Rev War period when non revolting history was largely errased.
This is my ancestor. She was Hannah Heath. She was married to a Bradley. Her family emigrated in 1632 from England as puritans They helped settle Roxbury and Haverhill Massachusetts Local area was fine. This was well over 50 years after that. The French did not want the English to move north of Massachusetts so provoked the tribes to travel 300 miles south to attack Her husband took the kids to a garrison to protect them. Her brother was killed in one of 3 attacks. They killed 4 of her kids. So she was taken by the French and Canadian tribes. Sold in to slavery. Dark history they don’t tell us. She was attacked a 3rd time. She and her husband fought the attack and militia finally came to help fight as well
As an adult, I educated myself on the actual truth concerning Native Americans and the invading hordes of both settlers and their militaries. Look at things from all angles, this is how I learned the facts. Let’s remember that both sides viewed the other as savage, heathen devils who had no connection to Spirit. Their feelings mirror modern ways we look at those we perceive as “other”. By dehumanizing humans, it seems to make atrocities almost standard, after all, judgments are made… This channel’s presentations are an excellent resource for a certain sides’ point of view. Balance that with other resources that tell another side so you get a full picture. But just don’t expect any one channel or source to given you the broader picture, that you need to study and unearth for yourself. It’s all heartbreaking, and certainly U.S. armies slaughtered indigenous babies, too, mercilessly, and chased down and ended children, elderly, women. Brutality is never confined to only one side, and there will always be true psychopaths in any war, it attracts those types.
In reality. The French didn’t want the English to move north. This was over 50 years that Hannah’s family was in the area. They provoked the Canadian tribes to travel 300 miles south to attack the puritans. The reason a lot of the smaller colonies are small they had to fight to get any leeway in land. A lot of puritans were kidnapped and taken to Canada.
Thank you sir for wonderful cultural documentary channel. As I told you before we watched cartoon of Native American known as ( red Indians ) with Americans they were always fighting. Unfortunately we learned English little bit at middle school. Last decade they began to teach English since kindergartens for toddlers and preschoolers. I gathered main information about topic you mentioned briefly here it’s Hannah Duston ( 1657- 1738) she was colonial Massachusetts pertain woman who was taken captive by Abenaki Quebec during king William war , with her new baby born daughter during 1697raid Haverhill, in which27 colonist , 15 of them children, were killed. In her account she started that Abenaki killed her baby soon after they were captured. While detained on island in Merrimack River in present day boscawen , New Hampshire, she killed and scalped ten of Native American family members holding them hostage, with assistance of two other captives. There are six Memorial to Hannah Duston aborted first erected ( 1861- 1865) , first successful memorial erected ( 1874) , second memorial erected ( 1879), third memorial ( 1902) by daughters of American Revolution. Fourth memorial ( 1902 ) . Fourth memorial milestone ( 1908). Leonard memorial . Mount Duston located New Hampshire. Duston hatchet found today in button wood museum. Duston hatchet called biscayen or discayenne . In 17 th century New England frontier. Display with she alleged used to scalp her captors, along with letter of confession Pelionins to join center congregation church of Haverhill. Other commemorations in city of Haverhill include Duston house with her husband listed on USA national register of historic places. Haverhill elementary school in 1911 , closed in 1980s . Health care center named Hannah Duston located on monument street in Haverhill. Happy mother day to you. We celebrated mother day in Arabic countries as well as England on last March. It’s different date around world you in USA and Canada on May.
That’s the other Hannah. This is my ancestor. Hannah Heath. They are called the 2 Hannah’s of Haverhill. The French was behind these attacks. They didn’t want the English to move any father north into the French area. They were encouraging attacks and selling puritans into slavery
That’s cool. This is my ancestor. Hannah Heath. She married a Bradley. The Heaths were here in 1632. I won’t call her a Bradley as her husband wasn’t around to help her 2 times.

This story has really upset my well being. As a proud descendant of Indigenous natives, why is it that when telling storys of caucasion captives, it seems the story teller Is reveling in the gory details? I realize that there were many horrendous tales of native torture, but , they don't compare to the tales of natives being held and tortured and starved by their captors. It is estimated that more than 10,000,000 natives died from being slaughtered, died from white man diseases, hanging and purposely infected with sickness from blankets that were gifted to them.
I'm with you on this subject, I am not sure why they are telling only the stories of what the Native Americans did to the settlers. They seem to glorify what the settlers did to the Native Americans, but not talk about what caused all this in the first place. If we tell one side, then tell both sides, but of course, the Native Americans did not speak or write English, how convenient for the settlers.

I have never heard anything but stories about how the white man took the land of the native Americans. I learned some years back that certain tribes sold their land to white people. I always had pity for them. I still do. Now I pity the white settlers also. I wonder why these stories were never taught in school. The only history taught in school was the cruelty of the white man. The cruelty on both sides is unbelievable.
You had me as a supporter until you posted about the McKee's/your personal family history and spoke of them as having "superior blood". That's very prejudiced and uncalled for.
Annoys me as didn’t research about my family. This is my family. The heaths. The Bradley’s were cowards. My ancestor Hannah was taken 2 times with that husband hiding out. Her brother was killed in the 2nd attack. Funny as she’s a Heath. Bradley’s can’t lay claim to her. She married a coward.
I swear, people were made of tougher stuff back then, than we are today.
As needs must.
They have NO idea
This is my puritans ancestor. It’s horrifying to learn about this dark history. I think the French were stealing women. Some didn’t make it back. Left in Canada. This is just a small bit of the story.
These harrowing experiences would make award winning movies providing they stayed true to the original story.Thanks
This is my ancestor. Hannah Heath Bradley. She married a Bradley. The Heaths have been here since 1632.
Their repeated sadistic cruelty against a newborn baby is a sickeningly common tale heard from survivors, beyond evil.
People today are still just as cruel to babies, only now, to their own....65 million and counting since the 1970s.
True but both sides did it, it’s horrible, but it wasn’t something anybody lost sleep over back then, it’s just the way things were.

Most living today would not make it during those days, to weak mentally and physically.
Thanks, hadn't read these.
Hard times make tough Men, tough Men make easy times, easy times make weak Men.
Untrue. The scotch Irish are made of better stuff even today then the diabetic ridden natives.
Not true. Many can still forage . We can survive especially in God's good graces.
