American Dream - The History of Europeans in the New World | Free Documentary History

[@FreeDocumentaryHistory]

“The land of the free was built on slavery.” Still, the pillar of the American dream was always liberty. Too bad it wasn’t available for all.

Please site your sources for not only that comment but for the entire video. Many things are not correct.

Jesus, give it a rest. We fought an entire war over slavery. We’re not perfect, but we’ve gotten better.

[@Seven-ld9zv]

@@tannermurphree8247 I could say that about Jesus and the entire Bible as well. Or about the Holocaust. I know you white people don't like to hear about what they did (and still do!) to those with different backgrounds but if we don't learn from out mistakes we are bound to repeat them. And as a matter of fact, slavery is still very much alive today. We do it to immigrants, refugees and sometimes even our own countrymen. And not just on a small scale. Look up "modern slavery" and you tell me if you still think we should just "give it a rest."

America was not built on slavery. I was gonna subscribe to this channel but never mind.

[@JoeAverage90]

Thanks for your free documentation! Even though there seems to be some dispute here in the comment section, your documentation got me a rough overview on American history!

[@FreeDocumentaryHistory]

you are very welcome and glad you found it helpful 😀

[@mugishagabriel6074]

The american dream is still alive and well. It has evolved and those that don't see that are the ones that will say it's dead. You can't expect the american dream of 1950 to be the same as the american dream of 2024.

Man another great historical series!

Francis Scott Key wrote the lyrics to the Star-Spangled Banner during the seige of Baltimore in 1812 not the American Revolution.

Who needs facts when you’re a “documentary” channel??! 🙄

[@FreeDocumentaryHistory]

The documentary did not state it was written during the revolution. If you care to listen, it was written in celebration of “the birth of a nation”

[@FreeDocumentaryHistory]

@@BadWordsAreMyLoveLanguage My suggestion would be to listen carefully to what is actually being said.

[@lisasmith5291]

The Star Spangled Banner was written in 1814 and originally titled "The Defense of Fort M'Henry. It was put to music in 1931 and adopted by Congress as the US National Anthem, The Star Spangled Banner.

i imagine their will be some interesting comments on this

[@1991enduro]

Great vid

[@aleehyder4462]

once I watched a similar documentary on DW Documentary it is unfortunately non-existent anymore

[@scottdecarrillo3082]

Expectations were high for this one but damn, what an historically biased, inaccurate and slanted "documentary". Your interns really need to brush up on our American history re facts and more concentration on Europeans (as your title suggests) who dramatically contributed to the development of the nation vice the slavery/Indian issue. And don't forget, Dems owned slaves and the Republican Party was established to counter this stain on our country. Oh, and did I mention Blacks owned Black slaves as well? Come on, fellow Americans, let's drop the systemic stuff, reparations, etc. and work together to get back to the basics of our nation so we can survive the next few years!

[@RDAmidwest]

Wow. What a mess.

[@MightyMouse11]

What a different migration story Europeans had compared to African Americans and Latinos.

[@Belynda]

Playing the race card are you ? You mean compared to Africans and Latinos. The Europeans came from civilized countries, Africans were natives that lived in the wild , Latinos idk.

[@MightyMouse11]

@@Belynda read the ghost map and you’ll see how civilized england was. Kids swimming in cesspools. Toilets 🚽 (water closets) invented before sewer systems. Reality is the poor and marginalized, either European or from elsewhere in the world, experienced more hardships than the more affluent. Classism and racism are still prevalent today.

[@Seven-ld9zv]

@@Belynda Thank you for providing an example of how racism is just as much alive today as it was back in the 1600's.

[@johnnyflores5954]

Is that why, the Romans and Greeks, white washed ancient Kemet, Kush, and Nubian religious text to what you call the Bible. Pretty shure, it was African Civilization, that civilized Europeans from their barbaric nature.

[@lilmike2710]

@@Belynda captured and sold into slavery by their own government, sanctioned by their own king. There was even a movie recently called "The woman King" that celebrated the people and tribe who at the behest of their government, aided in the capture of those slaves. And who fought against the English sailors that had come to abolish the slave trading from Africa. The victim mentality is being sold wholesale in our time. . Marxists are pushing to divide us. Spreading misinformation then gaslighting everyone who calls them out for projecting.... History is unfortunately about to repeat itself as a result..

[@blakewaddell8879]

Couldn't refrain from taking a swipe at Trump.. He's living rent free right up there in your head.. His stance on immigration wasn't more restrictive, simply chose rule of law & organized immigration over illegal immigration which enables indentured servant or slave conditions for those without valid immigration documentation.. Kind of enjoyed the video until you made it politically motivated..

[@blakewaddell8879]

@@julm7744 So you agree, slaves.. relaxed immigration = illegal immigration.. I guess we're not all as rich as you, but your mindset is typical of most corrupt elite... Read history, your time will come to an end at some point.. your slave labor will revolt on you, your port folios will crash, and you'll be down with the loathsome poor that you despise so much.

[@derbeno1152]

You have a great channel, but I bailed after a few minutes. Columbus never landed in Florida. The Spanish never set sail to 'new' lands to spread Christianity.

[@mackattack8627]

Thanks for sharing as this documentary is my history and my voice to view America with assuming is your choice to us free thinker's we now rejoice peace to all in my Black man's voice 💪✊✌️

[@nick_toroveci]

This is one of the most factually error ridden documentaries on US history I have ever seen. Rudimentary errors that someone who paid attention in Middle School history class can easily identify. I do not know where this documentary was uploaded from, or who created it, but it does not seem like a good scholarly source.

[@davidjones535]

Next time do your research better you made a lot of mistakes

[@daniellickel9867]

My Grandparents along with my father and uncle made this trip from Austria in the early 1950s.

[@FreeDocumentaryHistory]

same here 😮

[@lilmike2710]

Immediately starts with misinformation. . Early arrivals (Spanish and Italian) did not call the natives Indians because they thought it was India. The word that confuses so many people is "En Dios" which is Spanish. Meaning "God's people" or "People of God".

[@EstbXCIII]

Yeah, sure.. 😏🤭😅

[@LifeIsATest4TheHereafter]

The American Dream is long dead

[@juliopadua641]

La tierra de la Pascua Florida was the correct name Don. Juan Ponce gave to the peninsula. Secondly, The New World was first sighted by a a Spanish sailor whose name was Rodrigo de Triana. On the Pinta, he exclaimed.. ¡tierra a la vista! It makes me sad that Columbus gets all the credit, when this discovery that changed the world for ever, was made possible because of the Spanish queen isabel, and the co-discoverers like the Spanish Pinzón brothers, and all the Spanish sailors. Columbus himself could not recruit, convince the young Spanish men to go with him on this voyage because they look at him as a foreigner. Columbus, had to ask a well known Captain, Martin, to procure the sailors to go with them. Columbus wrote in Spanish, his family like his son Diego all had Spanish names, and Columbus himself prefer the Spanish variation of his name, Cristóbal Colón, over any other.

I just wanted to point out that the Indigenous Americans were not invited to the first Thanksgiving. What actually transpired is that the men of the Wampanoag heard the settlers shooting off guns in celebration and were concerned that the settlers were warring against them. King Massasoit and his men set out to investigate and once they realized that the settlers were celebrating, they brought 4 deer and joined in on the festivities. Per the account of Edward Winslow, one of the signors of the Mayflower contract, and the only firsthand account of the 1621 harvest celebration that remains: *"...at which time amongst other recreations, we exercised our arms, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and amongst the rest their greatest king Massasoit, with some ninety men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five deer, which they brought to the plantation and bestowed on our Governor, and upon the Captain and others."* Note how in his first hand account of what transpired that first Thanksgiving mentioned no invitation of the Wampanoag people.
