A Lost World (1600-1680) - Philadelphia: The Great Experiment

[@jaysnowden2]

One of the best historical series I’ve seen. Well done and very interesting.

[@prrbill]

Excellent graphical presentation of the early history of the initial European settlement of this area. I know all too well how difficult it always was to interest young people in the history of the region as reading about this in a history book doesn't exactly ignite too much interest. This helps to fill a big void.

Why did Quakers quake? Bacause of the holt Spirit like pentocostals.

[@knockshinnoch1950]

Excellent production. I had absolutely no idea that Sweden had any colonies in the "New World". Neither did I know the origin of the name Quaker.

[@brendanarmstrong4527]

Nice video. Good series. Any new ones coming out?

[@CraigMoreschini]

It is nice such an effort was made to document this aspect of American history, but it really lacks coherence, which may indicate not much is known or a lot has been lost. Or maybe it is the state of historiography on these topics. I'm from the West and generally would agree the Native Americans have suffered a raw deal at the hands of colonial powers, and later (even today) the US government, but the information presented here seems incomplete, speculative, and contradictory. It states the tribe's women owned the land and explains battles fought over land; then it explains how the "peaceful" tribe didn't understand the ownership of land. It says the Dutch who somehow thought they purchased the land expected the natives to follow their custom and rules; then one of the native decedents explains that the Dutch weren't following their customs on 'their' land in an explanation of why the Dutch settlers were massacred. I don't blame the participants who took the time to tell these stories

I had the same thoughts watching this...very loosely fit together at best

[@mauricewhitaker458]

My thoughts exactly.

[@xaviermichael-young5062]

Didn’t even include the federally recognized Lenape Delaware tribes. Just reached out to the self proclaimed descendants who haven’t even proved their related to the Delaware tribe of a Indians or Delaware nation in Oklahoma, or the Moraviantown Indians in Canada or the Wisconsin group

[@BonitaEvansPhD2]

Interesting from a historical perspective. I wish the perspective had been more strongly focused on the people. It appeared to me that their participation in the film was mainly as a backdrop of yet another story about pilgrims.

This could have been a great informative, educational series... if it hadn't been for the TOO LOUD, and needless background music.

The Dutch got what they deserved! I wouldn't call it a massacre, it's defending your land.

I was taught how to mount bareback at age 4 by my mom who is a national champ for equine, this is exactly how u mount anyone who say’s different never truly owned and rode a horse naturally. How do you think people rode before saddles they rode bareback like this using the main as ur rains and ur hips to control. Just cause u can google and watch videos doesn’t mean ur right. And if u says it’s abuse trust me that horse is more then capable enough to throw her or even bite her off.

[@manolisdamianakis.4932]

Hi people my question is when the land of Philadelphia took officially this name?

[@PandoraKyss]

Long story short. When the elder William Penn died, the British King owed him a debt. William Penn, the son of the late William Penn, was repaid the debt in land to basically get him and his Quakers out. Penn wanted to call the state Sylvania, for the trees, but the King wanted it to be named in honor of his father, the senior Penn. William Penn decided to found a city he named Philadelphia after the ancient city mentioned in the Bible. He dreamed of a place where all religions could practice in peace, and where the peoples would live in harmony with the natives. Philadelphia was one of the few cities in the Colonies to lack a defensive wall for that reason. The name stems from the Greek terms for Brotherly Love - philos, love; adelphos, brother.

Yup. Because there were different native American nations. They did not always get along with each other.

That doesn’t make any sense if there were already aboriginal people here as well as all over the world with jet black, dark copper skin we’re not the same people you see it in the rhythm so no I’m not speaking for myself.
