    I have a suggestion for you! The names are well known in the US, but hardly anyone knows that two of our presidents started out as indentured servants. If they had been black, they would have been called slaves. Andrew Johnson's parents sold him to a tailor, and he made all his own clothes for the rest of his life. Millard Fillmore's parents sold him to a weaver. Both boys were mistreated by their owners. My brother was a political science professor, and he once wrote a book about the presidents. He was very surprised when I told him about this. He had no idea!

    03:04 "...This was an Age in which a large proportion of Britain's oldest Noble Houses had found themselves in financial difficulties after years, or even centuries, of maintaining lavish households in London & country estates. Many families had suffered from reckless individuals squandering parts of their fortune playing cards in the capital or even from investing in speculative economic activities...."
    OOOOOH, how this rings ever so true in 2023 worldwide.

    I know that marrying for money and status was the societal norm for centuries, but it seems that so many of those marriages for money were also deeply unhappy. Was getting enough money to pay off your debts really worth sentencing your child to terrible unhappiness possibly for their entire life (unless the spouse died or got permission to have a separation). Divorce for most of the 19th century required an actual act of Parliament in the UK and a state legislature or top court in the US which made them exorbitantly expensive and very difficult to get-unless you had friends in the right high places and enough money to grease their palms. It also made what was supposed to be a loving relationship into a quid pro quo transaction instead. I’m so grateful that this terrible idea is now mostly a thing of the past although I know that such marriages do happen in other parts of the world and in certain societies!

    The only happy marriage was between Lord Curzon.and his American wife. I think her name was Mary Leiter (?) and she was from a rich Chicago family. It was a money merger but they actually fell in love and adored each other. He and Mary became the Viceroy and Vicereign of India. To be Viceroy of India was a supreme honor. Unfortunately, she died very young - I think in her 30s. He was devastated. It's almost like these marriages were cursed. The people were weak, self-indulgent, wanton, drunken spendthrifts who made each other miserable. The one couple who found true love was separated through death.

    women were not well treated in the world, before the mid 20th century, especially in Europe or England. NO, I am not related in any way to these "yznagas". the most successful "branch" oroffshoot, have dwelled in Texas and surrounding areas for many decades. My family were unimportant people, who married a french woman who eventually they moved from France to America in Philadelphia, then Virginia. Most of my relatives and even recent ones are dead. And that is okay. It is called Life and destiny. there are many families called Yznaga or different spelling, just like "Thomas" or "jones". many of them are not related.

      Yes, his pronunciation is always excellent and so is his grammar. It's too bad that we've reached the point at which it's necessary to thank or praise someone for doing something that all of us should do, but unfortunately we've really reached that point. If I hear one more person say "I was laying down when the doorbell rang", or mispronounce something so badly as to make it sound like another word entirely, I'll be forced to wave the white flag of surrender to the success of the deliberate dumbing down agenda. 😂😪
