That's how it was back then. To erase how people actually thought would be to deny our own history. I enjoyed the roll playing..well done.
Look at Ron in his best vest and top hat! Voting was so important to these people who had actually fought for the right, and for admittance to the Union. Made me think that none of our politicians today have grown-up in a world where they had to literally fight for their right to vote- they have taken it all for granted, and now, tragically, we may lose that which our ancestors fought and many died for.
With the gerrymandering of voting districts the past 40 years, we have lost the ability to vote. Most Americans are too worried about what Kim Kardashian is wearing to know or care.

@Emmanuel Goldstein I think your reply got deleted.
"Strong-minded women" Ha! Indeed they are! Love this video so much!
As a woman and poc, this video just made me appreciate how much we've come in terms of rights. Additionally, I'm just so appreciative with these passionate reenactors sharing history in a more intimate and detailed ways. There are so many historical details not told in the school system so watching this reenacted and be available in video just made me happy (as someone who loves learning about history). Great video as always, Ron! 👍
Just over 102 years now. Not long at all.
That was really cool! I love seeing the voting process and the suffragettes including Kandie! My Step-Grandfather loved election time. Before the laws changed here in the 70s, it was allowed - and expected- for candidates to "reward" people who promised to vote for them with cigarettes or whiskey. My SG would set himself up on his front porch up on his mountain and wait for the candidates or their representatives to stop by. He would promise to vote for them, take his free bottle of whiskey, tuck it away and wait for the next guy! It was like Christmas for him haha
This is great! Thanks so much for sharing. Made my day! 🥰
History was my favorite subject in school..in 8th grade I not only had a great history teacher but he was a great confederate reenactor ...his stories was so interesting and his students hung onto every word..that was many years ago but my love of history never waned..finding these videos of Justine and Ron reenacting was the best thing I've found good in a long time!! Love them!!
Great job everyone! Stepping back in time for a history lesson how awesome! These poor women died never able to vote since it took another hundred years (1920 August) for women to be able to vote. Our country was growing and changing. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Loved the woman trying to get there vote counted!! Go for it girls we had to start somewhere.
@Bonzi Buddy: Who told you that? It was horrible that to learn that US women were treated as a second class citizens and not allowed to vote.
Bonzi: not the place or time for your comment
@@margui6224women weren’t allowed to vote because they didn’t go to war in the draft you fool. Why should we get a say in what to do when we weren’t the ones going off to die alone in the mud over these decisions? And in case you’re wonder only 30% of women even wanted the right to vote. After we got the right to vote America went into EXTREME debt and here we sit today. In more debt the all other nations on earth COMBINED! If single women werent allow to vote there would never be another democrat elected in America. Democrats have controlled the house and senate for 90% of the last 65 years btw. Meaning they are completely at fault for our massive debt and horrible state America is in.
I learned a lot about Missouri’s first election for governor. This is a fun way to learn history!
America,we had a lot to learn,still do! Good video!🇺🇲
This should be shown in history class. Well done!!
Fascinating little piece of history! Loved this. As a teacher, I appreciate how you weave history, live action, and storytelling all together. Thanks for telling it as it was and not making revisionist history.
That was great! Thank you for posting. The women had excellent points. It’s amazing when we think back on it who could vote and who couldn’t.
It won't be long when anybody regardless of citizenship can vote !!
Good job, guys! I do enjoy the history lesson!
This was very informative and gave me a little insight into what things were like before my German G.grandparents arrived in St. Louis in the 1870's.
Thank you!
That was a great demonstration of the voting process back then, thanks for sharing with us!
youre welcome :)
I think every history teacher (at every level of schooling) should be required to be an authentic and highly involved reenactment participant! Such a disservice to our Country and youth! Well done Ladies and Gentleman! Well done!
We agree! Same with museum directors!
You'd be surprised about some people at these muesums we've met that are in charge or at 2nd in command.... you'd think they work there just to have that job and know nothing and have no interest, its sad.
Wow! I would think especially at the museum level you’d have to have some background/education on what part of history your museum represents! It’s shocking really! And yes, so sad!! So Happy to have found your channel ! Gettin my education on!! Lol thanks you guys!! ☺️
Fascinating! Thanks for posting. My great-great-grandfathers probably voted in this first Missouri election. The family was Missouri French and lived in Washington County in 1820 near Old Mines, MO. I was thrilled years ago when I was tracing the family tree to find hundreds of references to one of my g-g-grandfathers in the Congressional Record. After the Louisiana Purchase the US government sent surveyors to this region on Missouri to record the boundaries of people's personal property. My g-g-grandfather was one of the character witnesses used for Old Mines, MO. The survey of the land and property in that region of Missouri was based off his memory of who owned what. 😃
He is not making laws, guy is just doing his job!
Quite a nice and informative video! It’s realistic and believable.. well done 👍🏻
thankyou so much!!
Love the history lesson, as always. You guys do such a good job.
thankyou so much!
"Cannot vote unless you're a white man."... "Too *soft* on Indians"... "clearing the land(of Indians) for the *Americans."* Oh my GAWD I'm screaming with my mouth shut about this!!!
Still proves how blessed we are to be able to vote. Even more importantly now a days. You are showing our struggles. Thank you so much❤
Agreed. Even today, in some countries, women are denied the right to vote
So love your channel and the history you bring to life!!!!
Nice video about voting and the way it was first done. I did not know the name of Missouri's first governor. Never too old to learn something new!!
This is really a well crafted video!
Sending you guys love from Mid Wales UK 💜💜💜
Thank you for posting! Wonderful video! Very educational!
Thank you for this look into our past. It is very interesting.
Really enjoying this channel!
thankyou!
This is awesome ❤
Great history lesson, I do appreciate our history.
Ron you are doing your civic duty. Woman hav a right to vote! Good for them!
I love living history..keep up the good work ..ps Glad you got over your cold ron..Bless u and your wife 🤠
Great video ! 💜
Excellent video!
very interesting to see voting at this time. ... not much privacy when writing down the vote...
Love your channel
Thankyou!!
`Just a minor point ...I just happen to be reading "William Clark: Indian Diplomat." Jay Buckley states that William Clark was appointed governor of the Missouri Territory by James Madison in 1813. The Louisiana Territory was renamed Missouri Territory to distinguish it from the brand new state of Louisiana. The previous govenor of Louisiana Territory was Benjamin Howard. I appreciate your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thats correct thats another reason why Clark lost, he wasnt elected, he was a federal guy, federally appointed.
Ron, I'm dying here!! When is the next part to this?!? I have to know if I need to round up some Green Mountain boys to come down and tell you out with these dingdongs
Ive been watching Ron and Justine and really enjoy the story line. The problem is that I got too involved in "the story". I've been waiting for the damn vote results or actually see what happened to these sweet kids headed out to settle down. Now youve turned it into an eating show. Justine is a GREAT cook! We can see that. I'm waiting on the dang uncle to come step on your eatin show now! You wont like havin to tote yer possibles all over heck and tarnation! And that's if'n they let y'all go...
Gov. McNaire for Governor!!!
Fantastic reenactment.
Thankyou!
Great video
thankyou
Interesting video.... makes one think.
You end the word Missouri with an "uh" sound and I say it with an E sound. I'm 68 years in our state and it makes me wonder how people in the early 1800's pronounced it. Also, are there defined areas of the state that use the two different ways.
Very interesting, we've come a long way since then with voting rights.
Get ur hands off her sir!
Thank you for showing us how people voted during those days. Poor ladies they were not allow to vote yet. Thank God women are allowed to vote nowadays unlike those days. As woman, I’m thankful not to be born in the US during that time.
I'm not an American citizen....I am a Canadian, and as such, a citizen of the British Commonwealth, however, if I was voting in the election of 1820, I would have voted as Ron did. I share his views, and as it turned out, he was in the majority. As an aside, did women of that period really demand the vote?
im sure some did demand to vote (especially the ones without husbands, the women who worked their own land and ran their own businesses and owned property, that is why voting for for men because the men where the providers and owners so only they had the right to say yay or nay in voting.
@@frontierpatriot didn’t woman as well needed to agree to be drafted to fight wars ect? Having the right to vote came with tough requirements at that time that woman really didn’t want to partake in
Missouri Comprmise, Missouri and Maine both achieve statehood
Ron, when are we gonna get some closure with this part of the story?!? We have been waiting forever! Grab your musket and a hatchet and go pay the landlords brother a visit. Get it done already
I'm in MO! Are you on a property that can be toured and visited? Or is it just a private property? I love seeing historical places and the oldest realistic buildings I've ever seen is old St. Charles.
I too love historic places, I used to live in st peters mo about 8 years ago and surely miss it, I use to go into old town st charles and just admire all the old buildings and cobble stone streets. I loved going into the shops that were once some families homes many years ago. I'm hoping they didn’t get harmed by the recent floods. That would be a shame. Wish I was back home in good ol' Missouri! 😥
I hope you are considering uploading and developing a presence on other platforms. I would love to see you on Rumble, for instance.
I much prefer the laws of 1820 ~
Only Whites could vote?
@@nisaba5752 okay..
@@carlericvonkleistiii2188 okay..
Ron looks so handsome. What did Justine say about her not being able to vote? Please reply thanks
Gross... Love your videos though! Keep them coming. ❤👏
Ron I am an Native American, an when you said that man would be to soft on the "Indians" that didn't set well with me I'm sorry.
HERE IT IS 2022 & Women do have the right to vote but not equal to Men according to the Constitution I wonder when this will be corrected
@@DarkHorse08 In the Constitution it say all Men are created equal I guess you never read it Women have come along ways I guess you have to be a women to know what am taking about women certainly don't have more rights than men
@@DarkHorse08 Women should have the right over their own body Women do pay child support & alimony it's pointless to go on you've made up your mind go away I am not letting you take up anymore of my time it's like beating a dead horse
Have A Nice Day
Poor me, one day a stranger will come and chase me and my descendants from my house too and while my ancestors turn in the grave, the stranger will chase them away from their graves too, screaming ... you sick what are you doing here before us ?
Anyone else think for a second (like I did) that if McNair won, the rental agreement Ron and Justine live on under a French man (sorry i forgot the character name) might end up in peril if they say it's not a valid claim since he is French? Just a potential plot point and shows how voting can change your own circumstances potentially
McNair did win.
so this is half acting, half real life? are they a couple in real life or just for the skits here?
I am thankful for the suffragettes whose shoulders I proudly stand on when I vote. Glad to see them represented here :)
👀
Dear Lads. Thank you so much for showing this. I was an old History teacher and I have been retired along time but I really enjoyed the reenactment. Thank you so much for teaching real American history. God Bless you all!👵🙏 PS I loved the fact that they had to ID themselves and hade to be an American citizen to vote. The nonsense that is going on in this government over not needing an ID and you don't have to be a citizen is wrong. Our Forefathers made it this way for a reason. Thank you Lads again 🙏
Isn't that the truth! I live in Florida and our beloved governor is making that happen.
I would like to let that fine woman in the purple to vote she is quite a fine looking woman
"Too soft on the indians" "clearing the land of Indians." Who were here first.... 😒 Civilization does some crazy things to be considered civilized, huh? 🤯
Too soft on the Indians. We were here first!
I bet this was actually hard for the male actors to do/say lol
I realize this is now 1820, but I have always been interested in the theory that Lewis was murdered and did not take his own life!
Interesting!
@@ronrayfield8177 Yes! It is a very interesting thought. There have been a few documentaries on the subject. I won't write names because when I do, the comment disappears! I just feel he did so much for our country and now he's written off as a suicide for the ages!
Very well done video. Maybe if we still voted this way and everyone showed proof of American citizenship we wouldn't be in the mess we are now. Just a thought.
Totally agree!
Also used to be landowners voted. I think if you are receiving benefits and not paying taxes you forfeit voting rights. You stop taking taxpayer money and are a citizen and show ID you can vote.
Not much chance of fraud doing it the old way. Nowadays who really knows who won?
Master Rayfield, I was glad to see that you got to exercise your right to vote. I, like my kinsman, was a supporter of Capt. Clark. I felt that since the French and Spanish had already established claims to some of the lands that their ownership must be recognized. However, some of the Spanish deeds of a league and a labor was a bit excessive, since many of those holding those deeds do not live on or even work the ground they have claim to. As to Indian land claims I feel that if they have done more than hunted, trapped or set up temporary settlements then they have a claim to the lands. Since the Indians are viewed as being independent nations, then we must negotiate their claims. After all, many of the Indians are peaceful and cooperative in having trade with the American people's, for the most part. At the present time many of them move away from areas where Americans have established towns and settlements, coming only to trade. Of course there are a few who get into mischief when they come to the settlements, but usually it is the result of unscrupulous people taking advantage of their child like intellect and weakness for strong spirits.
As always, YOS, K. E. Baker
...."Child-like intellect".... Are you serious?????
Ron votes for colonialism! What a guy!
If we could go back to the good ole days when things were mostly honest.
Ladies move to Wyoming and then you only have to wait 29 years. For full voting rights.
Other than that you have 100 years after the 19th Amendment is ratified.
I wish voting today could be that secure!
may I ask what Justine's Opinion is on women's right to vote ? I don't want to ruffle feathers in your marriage :) snicker snicker
I am so thankful times have changed. Everyone has the right to vote 🗳 no matter ethnicity, religion or sexual preference.
Very interesting. I really enjoyed this video. I can't imagine being turned away for being a woman. So thankful for the women who fought for our right to vote.
Wow not cool about these government back in the day makes me very angry how they treated my people I am a very proud native American and and too women should have a right to vote this country is so turned upside down it just so dam sad
WHEN WILL THE VOTE BE TALLIED???? THIS IS CRAZY? Youvguys know how to drive a man crazy....lol
I have mixed feelings about this video and the history it depicted because I am an American Indian.
History is history. We cannot look away from the ugly truth of it or else we risk repeating it.
so much about the information in this video makes me sad. though it true ,sexist,racist and just hateful thinking and ways of living regarding some laws and the way women,Indians and blacks were treated. so sad that just because your a women or your skin is a different color your treated badly . its not right or Godly.
Be glad we have made progress in those areas, which is important. There is always work to be done.
History is not here to be actively judged as one can not change what happened 200 years ago. History is here for us to learn from and not repeat those mistakes. You may feel sad, but you must be vigilant against the repetition of error and folly.
Great video!
Thankyou!
