Curious. Why did they just shave off the northern part of Missouri to admit it, just as they shaved off part of Texas, which came to be the panhandle of Oklahoma?

New Jersey did not end slavery officially until 1846, just 15 years before the war.

1. West Tennessee had some prounionist counties at the Tennessee river. Middle Tennessee had only 1 prounionist county at the Kentucky border. 2. I read more about Butler I appreciate him better. I think the women order was mistake in New Orleans, because the ardent proconfederate women were minority in New Orleans he had to wait seme weeks that the measures of his leadership to calm New Orleans. Perhaps the women order calmed New Orleans 2-3 weeks earlier, but it was unnecessary.

What a pity not to mention liutenant Slammer who saved Fort Pickens for the Union! I think his step was crucial for the Western Theater winner of the Federal Army in the Spring of 1862!

The 2 officers a Liutenant and a Major did little things but it would be huge steps to save the Union. Slammer at Fort Pickens and Anderson. Slammer's step helped accidentally Grant at Fort Donalson. Fort Pickens brought Braxton Bragg 8000 soldiers to Pensacola (+soldiers at Mobile) instead of being at Fort Donelson!

Note that during the Acadian’s deportation of 1755 women and children were deliberately separated and shipped to different places along the eastern coast of the US and some, as far as the Caribbean islands. This was done to prevent them from regrouping and turning on the English. They were basically deported because the would not pledge allegiance to the crown of England (nore to France for that matter because they saw themselves as independent and neutral) so they were seen as a potential threat to the English who had taken there land away from them. In the years previous, the English attacked them repeatedly and even destroyed their crops and livestock at a period of the year when it would have been impossible to replant in order to starve them into submission. The Acadians were taken in and saved by the natives in that area.

This is a nice overview in general. However I feel like you overlooked some pretty important events happening in New Netherlands. For example Kieft's war against the natives 1643-45, the Dutch Patroon system and the recapture of New Amsterdam in 1673, by the then largest fleet ever to sail to North-America. There is a lot of fascinating history covering the New Netherland period of 1609-1674. I suggest reading one of Russell Shorto's books on the topic.

Note, while all these events take place, the indigenous people of CA or Alta California are flourishing. Millions of native people from across the Pcific coast. Isolated from European disease. The San Francisco Bay isn't discovered until 1771. The first Anglo person to stay in California for any length of time is the mountain man Jedidiah Smith who stumbles into rancho Pico Rivera in 1831. This Pueblo would become Los Angeles.

Appreciate the information. It just feels a bit too much repetitive: for example, you don't need to repeat "we will zoom out/in" every single time. Don't take it the wrong way, but maybe you can redesign the whole thing with someone with video production and editing skills? You have great knowledge, just need to put it out there in a way that does not feel like Windows XP of the early 2000s.

Forgive me for imposing upon you or some of your good followers, but do you happen to know if the 48th Virginia infantry was involved in Gettysburg?

Cave art can not be carbon dated. However logic prevails. Caves show pictures of animals. And some show Elephant's. Elephant's haven't been in North America since wolly mammoth 🦣 for 10-15,000 years ago. Therefore these cave drawings are st least 10-15,000 years ago. AT LEAST!

Actually, the natives were mostly settled agricultural societies. Some, like the Pueblo in the southwest, were so similar to a European style farming society that the Spanish called them the "town people."

@JeffreytheLibrarian they are Mexicans, perhaps the remaining Inka or Aztec remaining from South America. But there are many distinct pueblo tribes that scattered, migrated, moved and killed other tribes. "As will be seen, the table does not include the Piro and Tigua pueblos of the lower Rio Grande in Texas and Chihuahua, nor the Hopi (q. v.) of Arizona. In 1725 the total population was given at 9,747; in 1749, 11,942; in 1793, 7,455, and in 1794, 9,495. These figures include the lower Rio Grande villages. In 1885 the Indians of 19 pueblos of New Mexico, including Zuni, were reported to number 7,762. In 1887 the population of all the New Mexican pueblos was given as 8,357. From these figures it is evident that the Pueblo population has varied little during the last two centuries. Following is a list of pueblos, now extinct or Mexicanized, which are as yet either unidentified or unclassified. "

This account is way over simplified. 'Britain' is a Roman respelling of Greek for the land of a people called the ''Pretani'. The local British ( 'Celtic') leaders were very romanised and when the Romans left and Anglo-Saxon rulers moved in. The British leaders were keen to identify with the new rulers and intermarried, Wessex being the first kingdom. Some of the 'Vikings' may have been returning Anglo-Saxons. Beowulf is set in what is now southern Sweden, previously Danish and concerns the 'Geats' a people sometimes seen as connected to or an alternative name for 'Goths' or 'Jutes'. Etc.

Very interesting thanks. Curious to see if history repeats itself, should the proposed '50% duty' on certain goods imported from abroad actually be imposed! Will the American public boycott the massively more expensive items? Because China and South Korea won't be paying the duty Or will Americans resort to making 'homespun' TVs ?

Interesting thanks. Important to note that in English the term 'corn' denotes any grain or seed, most commonly wheat. But also note that 'acorn' literally means 'oak seed '. This explains the continuing mistake in naming 'maize' as 'corn'. I once had to correct an American archaeologist who wrongly believed that the terms were of identical meaning.

Some people over look this little bit of information because it was part of the St. Augustine settlement but St. Marys, Ga is the second continously inhabited settlement in the U.S. when it was settled in 1566. Through the years it has been known as Buttermilk Bluff and now St. Marys, Ga. It was used as a haven for smugglers, pirates and slave traders.

It has always seemed off to me that the Confederate commanders, after forcing Grant into a siege by defeating the Union riverboats, decided that their position was untenable and they had to leave. Then again, I believe two of the commanders believed they would be hanged if they were taken prisoner. Or maybe they just were ill supplied.

They were trapped. It was only a matter of time before they would have to surrender. The only shot they had was a breakout. But it's telling that their leaders abandoned their own soldiers in the fort.
