American History 1900 - 1909 - How We Lived

[@onecheapqueen]

I always thought it was crazy when I’d visit my great grandmother as a child and she talked about her life. The world changed so much over the 100 years she was alive. She passed in 2001.

[@catherinemcclelland7664]

People don’t have any idea how hard people worked. We’re all so lucky to be here today. Most people were lucky to get an 8th grade education back then.

[@meerkatmanorjr.2085]

There were plenty of lazy leaches like Charles yerkes then as there are now, you’re being selective

[@abigailmeryl2174]

Ah yes, the "good Ole day"

[@RodknockRhett]

Hard work still exists… Some just have it easy. Not everyone does.

[@catherinemcclelland7664]

@@RodknockRhett True but I love my office job

[@RodknockRhett]

@@catherinemcclelland7664 office work can be hard too. My job is all physical and that's a good thing. Keeps me in shape. Paid to go to the gym basically. Good for the heart too. But the American dream has and always will require a lot of hard work and dedication in giving back to the economy. That simply has not changed. Unless one has wealthy parents. Really, not much as changed. I put in a lot of hours to make what I make. I'm still trying to figure my life out though. At least I managed to buy a home and have a 401(k).

[@liennitram9291]

Thank you for sharing this. A glimpse into the life of my great grandparents and their parents.

[@the_cute_kitty]

Very interesting. If I feel I have too much work on my hands I'll remember what they had to do.

[@pawpower1023]

My house was built in 1901. Cool to watch

My maternal great grandparents came to Philadelphia from Lithuania in or about 1905. My paternal great, great grandparents came from Ireland to America to New York, met and got married in the USA.

How cool! Thanks for making this available to people.

[@nancydeis7121]

Thank you for posting these videos. I often think back wondering if it would be better to grow up when life was like that. To know that you had to work for everything you wanted/needed. I am talking about the average people not the filthy rich.

[@16mmEducationalFilms]

You're welcome :)

[@ss6truks]

This era always fascinated me it's not talked about alot. Alot of radical things were happening and new technologies. The beginning of modernization

[@cjware316]

Check out a video game called Red Dead Redemption 2. its set in 1899 to 1910.. Very unique period of time and depicted realilisticly in that particular game.

[@truesosense7722]

@@cjware316 "realistically" hmm, I am not so sure, America feels way too underdeveloped in RDR2/RDR1.

[@RayRay-um8bo]

Wait they had videos back in 1900??

[@camilonunez3919]

they barely did. Film (video) was invented the decade before, but they could only record up to 50 seconds of footage.

[@cherylschantz9893]

The first video was recorded in 1888.

[@JayKarpwick]

@@camilonunez3919 Film =/= video. Video is electronic recording and wasn't developed until the 1950s/60s.

[@JayKarpwick]

@@cherylschantz9893 Actually the first film. Video was invented in the mid-20th century.

What about the hurricane that destroyed Galveston Island in 1900?

[@acmelka]

This is an old movie, note they still pointed out racial inequality as well as distribution of wealth disparities. Some people will tell you such things are new and some left wing agenda. They are facts of history and the present. Thanks for posting these films.

[@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMind]

What do you mean? It's common knowledge and has been with humanity across the Globe since recorded time... What isn't common knowledge is how much European practices influenced slavery and racial inequality. People view like it was only an American problem, when in fact, Europeans who moved to America also brought with them some unsavory practices. Spain was like the last country to abolish slavery and it was way after America had.

[@cherylschantz9893]

@@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMindit depends upon the region of America. Those in the north were opposed to slavery and were smaller farms. In the South, farms were often plantations given to English men who used slaves to become wealthy. However, 95% of people in the south did not own slaves.

[@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMind]

@@cherylschantz9893 That's actually a great point, and you're spot on. Now we have "the 1%", and the workers beneath living paycheck to paycheck.

[@mariahsmom9457]

What's really interesting is we're only talking about how white people lived and I'd be really interested to know what was being done to natives at this time Like how they were having to live

[@16mmEducationalFilms]

Create a YT channel called "Native American - How We Lived" It'd be very successful! Wait.... that's too much work.... let someone else do it 🤔

[@juanhernandez2907]

Back then it was ok to be an immigrant, today if you’re an immigrant they tell you to go back home!!

[@sobreinquisidor]

It's because they are not European. For the Ukrainian refugees there has been no push back whatsoever

"For black people life was different, they were excluded from the economic mainstream." Yet, 3/4 of the wealth America had was labored on their backs. And until there is some kind of atonement curses and plagues will lead to the ultimate demise of that nation.

[@_ColeJackson_]

You think under 10% population built more of the country and buildings than the 60% did ?

[@Voucher765]

Other than that unfortunately the early 1900s were a good time for the economy. However in 40 years there would be 2 World Wars and in between that the Great Depression. Many were who would be born and raised in the early 20th century would become the warriors of WWII

[@brainwater176]

There will be no atonement, for the ones who perpetuated the wrongs are dead and gone. So too are the primarily wronged. However, the aftereffects of these misdeeds still linger. The sins of the white ghosts still haunt. The socioeconomic disparity will wane with time. It has been and continues to do so.

No black people comment on this post but me so its rite 4 yall to take our history and mke it to your world
