My ancestor , who fought in the Revolutionary War was already a 6th generation American at the time . He was given a land grant in Kentucky by the Continental Congress for his service in that war . Surprisingly , he still spoke Dutch after living in America for 6 generations .
Your explanation for the name "West Indies" is pretty much right on. Given he did it in 24 minutes, I'd call that an excellent effort at telling US history and I was glad to see he started with the native civilizations that Europeans tend to ignore.
I have a very good English friend that I've known since the late 1970's. On his last trip to the States a couple of years ago, we spent a couple of nights in a great little town named New Hope, Pa...Which is about 20 min. north of Washington Crossing, where George Washington crossed the Delaware River on Christmas Night, Dec.25,1776,on his way to launch a surprise attack on a garrison of 1500 German Hessian mercenaries at Trenton, NJ. early in the morning of Dec. 26....which resulted in victory for th Continental Army that both quick and decisive...with very few casualties. It's considered the turning point of the War Of Independance. To my amazement, Roger had never learned anything about the Revolutionary War during his school days in Cornwall as a boy....I'll never forget how excited he was to learn so much about our common history, which England had chosen to sweep under the rug in their education system!🤣
I appreciate that the original not only didn't lean on love or hate but also didn't claim that all countries behave equally good and bad either. He lets us decide how to feel if not decide just to not worry about how countries compare at all.
about 15 people died. The witch purges in Europe killed thousands over a long period. In Mass the trials ended quickly with the judges expressing regret about having had them
The internment camps for the Japanese people at the start of the American entry to WW2, after the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec.7,1941,is one of the saddest and shameful events in American history😢
The Pilgrims in 1620 were headed to a settlement location at the base of the Hudson River in what today is the New York Harbor. They were not headed for Jamestown that was believed to be a failed settlement at the time and less tolerant of religious freedoms that the Pilgrims were seeking. Of note, both settlements were an investment opportunity of the London Company of London. Instead, due to prevailing winds and North Atlantic currents at that time of the year, they ended up in the bay between modern day Massachusetts and Cape Cod. Thus, the Pilgrims founded the settlement of Plymouth in what today is Massachusetts.
The first English settlement to the New World was when Captain John Smith and 104 men and boys upon 3 ships, Susan Content, Godspeed and Discovery, landing in Virginia in 1607 and naming it Jamestown Colony in honor of King James 1&6.
The French settled through the midwest and up into Canada and were mainly interested trapping and the fur trade. On the other hand, the Spanish mainly were through the South....and they were after Gold!
18:55 alot of German Americans were too but they were given the choice of working for the government in manufacturing rolls like my grandfather who machined and assembled torpedoes, the Japanese weren't generally given any options though as japan directly attacked us. There's the ruins of an old Japanese interment camp about 30 miles from me with plaques that explain it all. A sad but interesting time in America's history
The indigenous populations of North America are referred to as "Indians" or "American Indians" because Columbus and others expected to discover a westerly route to "India" but instead discovered North America (Bahamas). The inhabitants were referred to by explorers as "Indians" that is a description still in use today.
A major difference between the British and French colonies in America is that the French only allowed law abiding Catholics to come to their colonies , while the British allowed virtually anyone to settle in theirs . Since the religiously persecuted , the debtors , criminals , ne'er do wells , and just plain adventurers who had nothing to lose are much more willing to just pack up and go to a wild new world than people who fit into and are doing well in their European society , many more colonists moved to the British colonies . The fact that the British colonies were much more accessible , being along the Atlantic coast , also helped .My own first ancestors to come to America more than 400 years ago were French Huguenots who got tired of being murdered by the French catholics and first moved to Holland , which at that time was probably the most open and free society in the world , and then came to Nieuw Amsterdam on the first shipload of Dutch emigrants to what is now the USA . Incidentally , the Netherlands , when they were still under Spanish control , were the only Spanish territory which would not allow the Spanish Inquisition to take place there . As a result , many Spanish Jews fleeing the Spanish Inquisition also went to the Netherlands . Also the French ceded much of their land east of the Mississippi to the English in the treaty ending the French and Indian War , which was called the Seven Years War in Europe , and could be considered to actually be the first " World War " ,since it was fought in Europe , North America , Asia , and possibly in Africa as well , though I'm not sure about that .
6:52 In that Great Britain provided the colonists to settle in what became the original 13 colonies, one might say they "founded America". But really, Americans founded the United States. The committee of five that came up with the Declaration of Independence were all born in America. Of the 56 delegates to the Second Continental Congress that signed the Declaration, all but 8 were born in the colonies. Only two of those eight were English, the others being from Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. The man that literally wrote The Constitution, Jacob Shallus, was born in Pennsylvania. James Madison gets the most credit out of many for the Constitution and he was from Virginia as was George Washington. Many contributed to the document and a few were not born in America. Did you know Hamilton was from the West Indies (I just learned that.) Another note: Spain had way more territory than England which became parts of the United States. Let's not forget Alaska which was Russian Fun fact: Secretary of State William Henry Seward made the Alaskan purchase under President Johnson that took over after Lincoln's assignation. This was known as "Seward's Folly" because it was figured Alaska was a big worthless ice cube. Then they found gold. Anyway, being in Lincoln's cabinet made him a target for the conspiracy that killed Lincoln. Someone actually tried and did stab him but he survived. Imagine if nobody ever bought Alaska?
Yeah our history likes to brush over the Japanese Internment Camps in WWII...You should do a video on it, it's important stuff to remember that gets brushed over too often
I live not far from "Japantown" in San Francisco which was largely emptied out during the war and today has many residents whose grandparents and great grandparents were sent to the camps. But it should be mentioned that the internment only occurred along the west coast where it was feared the Japanese might invade and where naval and other assets participating in the Pacific war were concentrated. In fact, it was true that in Hawaii a very small number of Japanese residents (mostly non-citizens) had provided Japan with militarily important information such as about ship movements prior to the attack (and to be fair, many, many times more Japanese Americans fought heroically on the US side once war was declared).
What we call the French and Indian War was just the American campaign of the Seven Years War. The Peace of Paris finished the French rule in North America.
Yep, the one thing that we are very good at is angering people and making enemies. lol.. just kidding! I actually wish that more Americans could appreciate our positive contributions and not just our many missteps. This nation started off with such great promise but veered off course many time due to greed, corruption and arrogance. I hope we can right the ship and live up to the high ideals that the early settlers came here with. ♥
The Spanish were the first Europeans to colonize the Americas, French and Portuguese shortly thereafter, with the English were actually being quite late to the party.
The Puritans were not persecuted in England. They felt the C of E wasn't strict enough, so in America they could establish a stricter version of religion without the state church interfering.
Don't forget the English Civil War. That came after the earliest settlements in New England but doubtless swelled the Puritan emigration after the Stuarts were restored in 1660.
France's land was very populated with native Americans (indigenous people), and they were civilized. They just weren't Europeans. They also had no idea that France thought it own̈ed the land they were living on. This is a very simplified summary of events.
Actually, the Pilgrims did not come here seeking religious freedom. They went to Holland initially, where they had full religious freedom, but so did everybody else, and they couldn't handle that, so they came to North America to get away from other people's religion.
At the time of the American revolution, the colonists sounded like the British. They still do, but the British have changed the way they say things. So, Americans today sound like English people did 200 years ago. Australians sound like British people did 100 years ago. The Americans today speak more like Shakespeare than the British, although they are heavily influence by all the other cultures moving to America. There is a general rule in linguistics that people who move around tend to be conservative in their use of language, because it is the only piece of culture they can conserve, but people who live on their great great grandfather's farm tend to experiment more with language, because they have their culture all around them.
Regarding the "accent" question - I have heard linguists say that British people spoke in a way similar to the way Americans speak now and that the British accent developed after the colonists left Britain. And regarding Lincoln it is disappointing that there is a narrative out there that he was anti-slavery. He didn't give a fuck about slavery, his ONLY goal was to preserve the Union. He even said so in a speech where he said "If I could save the Union without freeing a single slave I would do it." He also had a plan to send all Black Americans to Africa after the war, that is the reason why the country of Liberia exists. Lincoln was an evil, arrogant asshole who is wrongly revered by so many of my fellow Americans, and people around the world.
The south Carolina garrison had repeadly requested then demanded the foreign army of the USA remove itself from the it's territory. ,the fort squarely in the harbor of a succeeded state . It wzs moths AFTER secession. It really was the war of Northern aggression.
Go West Young Man! Many went to seek their fortunes and there were sod busters who were allowed to keep property. If they could build a home and farm the land.
We sounded in the revolution what we sound like now. WE didn't change the accent, you Brits did. Shakespeare would have sounded like an American from North Carolina
Accents on both sides of the Atlantic changed over time. But they all changed (and stayed the same) in different ways. An isolated Appalachian accent is probably closest to Shakespearean English in terms of phonetics.
@JustMe-dc6ks No. Just no. The changes in a non Rhotic R and dropping the pronunciation of T at the end of words came down from the government in the early 19th century to the upper class schools to sound more "European" in other words French. To characterize the change by the Brits as just a natural evolution is just completely false. It's not what happened.
Supposedly the speech on the isolated barrier islands along the east coast and in Chesapeake Bay is as close to Shakespearean speech patterns as exists today. Don't troll me for saying this--it's just what I have read many times over many years. There are a number of videos on TH-cam about it. Thurston might like reacting to one or more such as the ones on Tangier Island or North Carolina's outer banks.
@@JustMe-dc6ks google it, north Carolina and the barrier islands would sound Shakespearean. Isolated Appalachians just sound like a dumbed down american accent when they're actually able to speak and not bark like dogs 😅
Everyone did not have Chattle slavery sorry that was a different type of slavery. Everyone did not have breeding farms where they were breeding children for profit. Glad people were not seen as human beings and had to be added to their constitution there’s so much filth in the history of America and it’s the humanization of human beings you white people love getting no hair, trying to make excuses for that nasty past that your ancestors left
Not everyone had chattle slavery. Lifetime slavery with no legal respect for humanity that was contingent only on race. There is no legal slavery anymore in the world. If you know that someone is being enslaved, it is your obligation to report it.
You should watch a film on The apartheid south Aka Jim Crow. There’s a Netflix special called the 13th. You will really see how violent and racist the country was. Many of those descendants of the era are still living. There’s literally a lynching museum in Alabama.
Hahaha! Luka u always wondering something GOOGLE!! I will tell you a little bit. Majority of colonists were from Britain so English accents, but since they wasn't in England anymore and had contact with other language groups, accents start to change. Google tells you more about what happened 🤣🤣
Never understood how Christopher Columbus discovered a place where people were already living and had been for centuries. It's like me driving over to my neighbors and pulling up in their garage and declaring I discovered their house and now it's mine.
I thought they were called pilgrims because of their pilgrimage to different parts of the East Coast of “the new world”. I didn’t know pilgrimage was a type of religion too. That seems like a weird coincidence.
I hate what was done to people in Japan with atomic bombs. That, and what all was done to native Americans and the behaviors that at the time were deemed of no significance towards both “slaves” and all women, were some of the worst things the white men from the US ever did.
What I don't understand is why England wouldn't let the British people in North America elect members to Parliament. Bad policy, ended up losing the best part of the new world. Canada is great but a large portion is frozen most of the time
Not only did we have internment camps for the Japanese, but there were also internment (concentration) camps for Native Americans, prisoners of various wars, and illegal immigrants. Like other imperialist nations, the USA has taken lands from Mexico, Spain, the Hawaiians and it seems to want Greenland, Panama, and Canada.
You should check out our internment camps for Japanese Americans. People held because of their heritage. Just one of many stains on our country. I live close to one of the Arkansas camps.
Yes, the progressives led by President F. Roosevelt led this campaign. Those opposed to progressivism opposed this move. The progressives also pushed eugenics, including sterilizing orphans, both in the USA and in northern Europe.
I dated a girl in California whose father was in a camp. He said catching a rat was a good day because then they had meat for dinner. He left Japan to look for a better life in California, he ended up being a gardener. I don't know what he did in Japan or was avoiding the war but he was from Hiroshima.
This was surprisingly more accurate than others I've seen.
That was a great recap of US history.. Great reaction too..

That is exactly why the Caribbean area is refer to the West Indies by some.
