I've lived half an hour away from the great dismal swamp for most of my life and I never knew any of this, I've been there at least 5 times and I never knew any of this.
It is rather amazing to think about the great lengths humans can go in order to ensure their freedom, even if it means creating a whole society in the middle of a swamp!
I lived in the swamp for 17 years of my life (before moving away). I lived on clay hill Road, 2 min away from the entrance to the lake Drummond trail. It is a place unlike any other, and everyone should at least visit the refuge once in their life, it's a spiritual and natural sight that you won't regret visiting.
Did you watch the videos...these I inhabitants had many reasons...an check out all the historical facts,it just mainstrea,an these people have been living here prior to the American corporations.
This is my first time watching a Ted Ed video. Very cool. I especially like the narrator, his voice is calm but not boring. And he doesn’t put on the nonsensical accents or the inane jokes in between like many other sites offer up. This is very interesting and I’m always up for learning something new.
This adds another onion layer to the Shrek mythos, poor guy just wanted to avoid persecution and be himself but those darn elitists just couldn't leave him be.
Wow I read one old book grandma gave me. It was about hidden groupe of Indians and how impossible was to find their small village in deep swamp. I am so excited gonna read it again. :D
The only mysterious and unlikely settlement I've heard of in the Great Dismal Swamp is Groverhaus. Truly a mystery how a human could persist in such a precarious environment.
I don't think it's much of a mystery. Life was undoubtedly a hot humid mosquito h3ll everyday But that just goes to show the lengths people are willing to go to escape enslavement, because they knew being owned would have been much worse.
Hello, my name is Demetra and I'm Italian. I love your videos, they are really intetesting. I learn so much. Unfortunately not many Italian can speak a fluent English. Your videos could be dubbed in Italian. I suggest a great team of voice actors: ORION . they are really good. I think that by doing so, your usefull videos would reach more people. Just a suggestion. 😁
Ted Ed please make videos about -Presocratic philosophers -Aristotle teaching Alexander the Great -Islamic golden age (discoveries,achievements) -Tengrism religion -Genghis Khan -Ottoman Empire astronomy
I think most of what this video says only goes to indicate that we still only know a very tiny fraction of the history of the Swamp and the people who lived there, despite their existence being relatively recent.
A sudden thought came into my mind just now, some day teded will make a video about Covid pandemic. I dont know how they going to keep it around 5 minutes
Love this channel so much. so much information given in such little time and I am absolutely in love with the animations! i feel so bad for them, thankfully they're not here now
I don't know why it took me so long but now I am your new subscriber, I just found your channel today by a video about urine recommended on TH-cam's homepage and after watching that , i watch more and more of your videos and I am loving it.... basically I really am not interested in science nor does I had ever paid attention in my subject, yeah I score good marks but by just learning and writing the same in exams, but the way you explain every phenomenon is very realistic adorable natural and interesting...i am loving it♥️♥️
Im from Virginia and I stay with in minutes from "da swamp" as we call it here and yes this place has a spirit that feels the air around it. It's creepy but beautiful and settled at the same time very rich in minerals and just raw natural nature 🥰...

The shelf life of bottled water belongs to the bottle, so why don't you store it in a glass bottle while other bottled water in glass bottles like coke is not completely contained in plastic bottles? while plastic bottles have a longer shelf life than water in plastic bottles and are much worse than glass?:)))
@@maskrlzxw6823 An entire civilization existing in a state of perpetual siege mostly oblivious to the outside world. Until the arrival of the Marleyan Volunteers...
In the 16th and 17th century many of the original Mennonites settled in the swampy lowland areas of the Netherlands, eastern Prussia and eventually in the 18th century in swampy lowland areas of Russia Swamps were always safe places to go when being persecuted. And when drained, they are very productive farm land
no they didn’t reuse the indigenous tools, they built there own… always have to make it seem like africans can’t develop things..when it fact, they create the most things… just like the artifacts diminished for the archeologists?? the indians tools diminished by the time the africans got there.. the new tribes, hated blacks as well.
I know that TED Ed community will make it easier for people to understand these kind of videos, even though l don't know any clue about the topics of some new videos.

When people would rather live in a swamp than live in your country, you know it is a train wreck

I hike pretty frequently at the Dismal. I couldnt imagine actually living there; the mosquito swarms during the warmer months are insanely oppressive.
That just goes to show how determined people were to live a life free of bondage.

NGL, The Great Dismal Swamp sounds like a location in a D&D game.
Two prevailing thoughts:
-Good for them for finding a place safe from the yt man, oppression, and colonization.
-They were swamp benders.
Yes, It is true runaway enslaved Africans hid there.

The problem isn't career politicians. It's the people who run for office and the people we vote for.

This reminds me a bit of those who lived in the Fens in eastern England, before the Fens were drained.
This is one valuable channel
This was incredibly interesting!
There's always mystery hidden out there to shed some like on
Please make a lesson on the event of Kerbala.. that would be tremendously interesting
Oh wow so true would love to see their take on it.
Lots Of Love From India ❤️

All this swamp talk reminded me of the cramp twins 🤠☺️

Amazing story🥰
For me, watching one of Ted-ed's videos is the same us reading a whole thick history book.
I like how Ted Ed forces you to watch a 15 secs ad before every video

First there were indigenous peoples, then escaping African enslaved peoples (Maroons). This pattern wasn’t that uncommon, in the Americas.
the best part of TED-Ed is that it dosnt have self promoters and bots
I have a reason to speculate the Dismal settlers all had a thick Scottish accent
Micah, your replies got deleted. How weird!
And African ones
Beautiful, insightful, wonderful; but where are the pyromancies?
Wow that was really cool
In the 16th and 17th century many of the original Mennonites settled in the swampy lowland areas of the Netherlands, eastern Prussia and eventually in the 18th century in swampy lowland areas of Russia
Swamps were always safe places to go when being persecuted.
And when drained, they are very productive farm land
It's seemed a sort of proto-civilization. That's awesome!
This is so frickin cool
I went there from a the week junior magazine.
no they didn’t reuse the indigenous tools, they built there own… always have to make it seem like africans can’t develop things..when it fact, they create the most things…
just like the artifacts diminished for the archeologists??
the indians tools diminished by the time the africans got there.. the new tribes, hated blacks as well.
