Rumor has it there were machines that were big enough to do even smaller jobs that would have made a lot of the American slaves more resistant to death then they were😢😢😢

Great film; I love stuff like this. However when you get a chance find a way to correct the gaps in the narration. It takes away a lot from this great documentary. I could think of a few ways to do it. If you don’t have the skill set find someone who does or KZbin it. I look forward to seeing the next new and improved version of (bullhorns at the ready) “Conquest on the Hudson”. Love it.

i believe the narrator is speaking the truth when talks about the number of cars traveling through the holland tunnel looking at those cars from the 20s 30s that's all most a hundred years this film looks like it was made about 1930 something the sound quality appears to be fading with age in those days that camera was the newest technology available

That opening date for the LT's first tube was in 1937!
This came from a VHS tape that had the film on it. Due to the age of the film and soundtrack, as well as damaged/lost frames and/or audio transfer issues (whether it be from film to videotape, videotape to digital, or possibly both; maybe a corrupted audio file?), some parts of the audio portion are silent, while some parts of the video portion may freeze up (eg. the opening titles).

This is when America was doing amazing things. In the midst of all sorts of social issues, they did some wonderful projects back then. Sad that our nation has been sold off to the highest bidder, as well as our government. The only way to save this nation is to renovate every single bit of the infrastructure, and hire whoever wants to work at Union wages. No federal BS on who can and who cannot work, let every man and woman work their way out of their financial and social status.
