Greetings to all my American friends from across the water in little old Scotland. I love the history of the USA, especially the South, and these photos were simply stunning. God Bless America ❤🤍💙
I am an italian fan of the USA, I love your Nation and I want thanks you for our freedom; when I was born (1947) I was free because of you, I don't forget your sacrifice and I will be always your friend; thanks you all, GOD bless the USA. My dentist is Italian American and says that I am born in the wrong side of the ocean.....,I think it's true. Happy New Year my distant sisters and brothers!
Just pray that irresponsible, greedy politicians don't SELL US OUT like losing our manufacturing to China! Also, like Bush and Cheney families have done with oil
@@brentbradley7199 I'm happy here. And I think I would be afraid to live anywhere else. I am also hoping I can always feel this way about America ~ that the extreme politics to both sides ~ don't take away the best of ~ from the rest of us. Otherwise, people are either happy or unhappy due to what lies within them. The external is ever changing and we are each perplexed by something or another, or even an entire period of time, that's a real bother to us, on occasion. How we approach these things makes a difference. And there will always be the things, even very big things, we will never understand the 'why' of. I wish you 'courage' to change the things you can. godspeed.
This video really makes one appreciate life and realize how quickly it goes by. Love you family while you still can and give thanks to God for your life!
In 1849, my great, great grandparents crossed the country with six small children in a covered wagon pulled by oxen. They went for the gold rush which never produced any money, ending up in Sacramento with a laundry business. There were actually Indians terrorizing them on the way, riding right next to the wagons. This stuff really happened, including people dying of cholera. I honestly don't know how they did it. They were tough stuff in those days.
A very strange - at least, in this 21st century - mix of nonsense ('never produced any money' - well it must have for some, mustn't it?), distinctly lame formulae ('this stuff really happened, including people dying of cholera') and outmodedly insensitive terminology ('actually Indians' - oh dear oh dear... - pretty lame, isn't it!, to say nothing of the historically outrageous reading that it was the indigenous population who were terrorizing the interlopers who stole - no other word for it, is there, in hindsight - the original inhabitants' land...)
I think people understand, without your help, that when he says that the gold rush never produced any money, he means that he never produced any money for his great great grandparents. I found their struggles to be very interesting. I don’t think that the Indians can claim any moral superiority just because they were there first. After all, every Indian tribe’s lands were taken from some other tribe. Most Indian tribes were engaged in more or less perpetual warfare with the other tribes. Many Indian tribes made a living by raiding other tribes. The arrogance and a-historical nature of your comments is very disturbing. I think that the temporary victory of that vile and evil man, Trump, is partly due to the arrogant and contemptuous attitude of people like yourself.
@@julianwynne8705Yes, The Aztecs and Mayans committed human sacrifices. It wasn’t fun for the victims, especially the children. Those that came across the Behring Straits in N America probably killed others, for territories. Yes the Sioux and Chippewa fought in bloody battles, over wild rice. There’s no hope for the brains that were pickled to only believe a fraction of history. You don’t know much. Try reading the true story of the woman that Walked home five hundred miles, whose children were unsalvageable. Follow the River is the title if you can see what this woman endured. I read it decades ago.
Amerika hat gute menschen so wie bei uns .Ich war noch nie dort, ich weiß aber trotzdem das sie nicht anders sind wie überall auf der Erde. I love grüsse aus Österreich ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Loved it! I enjoy looking at all the little details in these old photo's, their clothing, housing, tools and anything else I can spot that tells us more about how our forefathers lived and survived.
I was child in Iraq during the 80’s listening to Voice of America radio (Arabic department) because my father wanted to get the news of the Iraqi-Iranian war from a neutral side. I used to listen to the names of states like Texas, Michigan, Oklahoma, Alaska, California and other states. I listened to the American countryside music and I remember my sister and I participated in a competition about the history of the civil war and we sent out our response by mail to the radio but we didn’t know if it was received or not. Then 20 years later, I moved to the USA! 🇺🇸
Thank You for sharing photo's of earlier days gone bye. Many hard working people in the photo's. Just trying to survive and create a new life for themselves.
Very good pictorial narration of US history. Every country in the world had good and bad historical pasts based on present understanding of those events.
I am always stunned out how hard life was back then, and yet, many of the people look happy in the pics. Great slideshow with good info along with the pics. Thanks for sharing.
Speaking as an historic geographer I am drawn to the plethora of videos increasingly available on TH-cam relating to the US and other places. Many of these videos use photographs that are clearly not properly attributed or identified. Your video is certainly the best that I have seen of its ilk. Your narration was measured and relevant, with good background descriptions. Well done to you and I look forward to seeing many more.
Please keep in mind many videos are created by common folk, without proper academic training, but meaning well. They don't know about proper attribution and such. If you're looking for peer-reviewed documentaries, TH-cam is the wrong place. Wishing you well.
I have a home in Pennsylvania and a place in Wyoming both locations have a long history of hard-working people who built this nation. Faith family hard work and love for this country and the opportunity to have your own little piece of freedom built this country. We need to protect those values. To remain a great developing country full of Hope for all people who come here legally respect the country and contribute by living responsibly. I love this country as many many do.
Well, if I didn't say it before, I'll say it now😊 These are wonderful photos. We have a few old photos, but not quite as far back as yours. Really enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing!!
@@yvonneplant9434Rough it was, but yep, there was romance galore. Families of 8-10 were common. Cotton fields were still prominant in the 60s. My family share cropped in Tennessee Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee. No screens on windows. Fireplace for heat. Sharecropper houses always leaked. Yep, times were hard.
Thankyou so much. Fantastic photos!! History is so important , and thanks to these hardworking people in the 19 th and twentieth century has made it possible for how we live today. I am truly grateful.
Thank you so much that was great about American history those were great memories people worked hard and sacrifice a lot for United States of America to become great nation!thank for sharing.🇲🇦
Watching from Indonesia. Thanks a million for this historical video that make us be grateful as human being until this present day. Even I am far from American continent, nowadays it seems we are closer due to the internet. Moreover, WE ARE THE WORLD... live in the 1 world .
It's not their "imagination" that needs "widening" ffs! It's their level of education that needs "widening". It's 2024 and the USA still sits in 31st place on the world IQ stat list. You YANKS need to teach your kids more than how to build Moonshine Stills, Whittle sticks into toothpicks & disassemble/reassemble AR-15s.
This a great video and super cool pictures, I do ancestry and it’s cool to see what the times looked like, I really love this kind of stuff. Thank You!
I’m grateful that my ancestors on both sides of my family came to the USA. Both sides arrived in the 1600s. I’m grateful for my freedom, my blessed parents and being able to grow up on a small farm in a tiny town. It was a magical time. 🐎 🐄 🐓 🐷 🐕 🐈⬛ 🦆 🐢 🐍 🎣 🏊♀️ 🎹 🎶 🎻 🪈 📣 🏃🏻♀️ 📚 🪴 🍞 ❣️⛺️ mountain ⛰️ 🏡 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I am a lover of history - especially in photos. Several other youtubers present, like you, historical photos - with some description. But looking at this montage, I realize that you are the best. 😀 The images are stable and well in view, and the added information is well prepared and very satisfying.
My grandmother was born in 1901; I never got to know her but this shows what her early world would have looked like. So different. The population was way smaller as well.
I really loved the background music. I actually recognized some of the old hymns that were being played in the background. I really appreciate that. And if it was AI at least it was a very genuine and pleasing sound thank you excellent Videos. 💕
I,m a Brit,but probably know more about American history than alot of Americans do,especially the civil war era,-which i always find intresting and have visited alot of the battlefields around the Virginia and Maryland area, and Gettysburg too,-enjoyd this video.
Around 1999 American trivia experts, some truly smart and knowledgeable historians and popular culture experts, took on the Canadian equivalent on NTN, now known as Buzztime. This was on the internet. The dedicated field that night was U.S. HISTORY!! The Canadians mopped the floor up with us. After that, I don't accuse Brian Corrigan and his ilk of being braggarts and so forth. It was a humiliating night.
17:41 I can imagine my great grandparents - my father’s (1915) grandparents from Russia 🇷🇺 and Poland 🇵🇱, standing like that looking at New York in the late 1880’s. My mother’s (1916) great grandparents came from 🇩🇪 through New Orleans, to St. Louis in the 1860’s. And her father came to St. Louis in the 1890’s from Greece 🇬🇷. My son’s father’s grandparents came from Poland and Ireland 🇮🇪 ! We’re a pure immigrant family 🇺🇸. :)🌷🌱
Would like to have seen some images from the southwest as well, around this same time. Cities like Albuquerque, Phoenix, Tucson, Los Angeles, San Diego.

It's just like now. Some people are happy and some are just cruel and mean.

Americans know Nothing anymore. Our history has all been Cancelled and changed. Schools teach little of any value nowdays.
Around 1999 American trivia experts, some truly smart and knowledgeable historians and popular culture experts, took on the Canadian equivalent on NTN, now known as Buzztime. This was on the internet. The dedicated field that night was U.S. HISTORY!! The Canadians mopped the floor up with us. After that, I don't accuse Brian Corrigan and his ilk of being braggarts and so forth. It was a humiliating night.
your probably right!
Our politicians like us stupid. Easier to pick out pockets to line their own.
