[@lordlemond1350]

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

[@JohnBasedowYoda]

The narrator is also saying Potawatomi differently than I’ve heard it for my whole life

[@E_Rogerz]

@@JohnBasedowYoda fr I was about to say I’ve been pronouncing it wrong, its him not me😂

Despite the high rent, rising food prices, violence and poverty, I've been a Chicagoan for 41yrs, having visited places such as Mississippi, Wisconsin, Philadelphia, and Louisiana, I always come back home to Illinois and I love My city, I really do 🫡🫡🫡❤ the food, architecture, monuments, history, landscapes, sports teams, music, AND people, there's no place like SWEET HOME CHICAGO !

[@JoseMartinez-df2db]

You pronounced Potawatomi wrong. There are no mountains in Chicago. We are prairie, marsh and woodland. Dusable was black. You animated him white. Dusable didn't just leave. White people imprisoned him because he owned land.

[@tonks78]

DuSable was Creole....mixed race.

[@blackstar90]

Why is the Jean Baptist De Sable shown as a racially ambiguous character when his bust is currently displayed as a Black man (Haitian) on Michigan Ave?

[@MissTrinidad]

Right?! 😑 Smh!

[@mike.tag.autosport]

These people won't stop...smh

[@Jared-pn9zx]

I was thinking the same thing

[@zendog8888]

I am interested how Chicago got rid of its mountains.

[@tonks78]

😂 I was about to share this with a friend in Australia. Think I'll make my own video for her. 🙄 Mountains indeed! 😂

[@RazorSharpMC]

Chicago is my favorite city

[@jaycup9621]

In 1673 French explorers Marquette & Joliet "claimed" the Chicago area and the rest of Illinois for France even though as many as 13 Indian tribes known as the Illini or the Illinois Confederation lived in the area and were estimated to have tens of thousands of members. In 1696 a mission was built in the Chicago area by the French but was abandoned a few years later. The area was part of the French Empire until 1763. That year the French & Indian war ended and the area became part of the British Empire. The Illinois people eventually declined because of losses to disease and war brought on by French colonists and eventually had to resettle in Oklahoma. In 1779 a Hatian named DuSable built a house in Chicago but also left a few years later. The area was ceded to the US in 1783 & in 1795 Ft Dearborn was built. Chicago became officially a city in 1837 and by the end of the century became one of the largest and important cities in the world.

[@YungCrusty]

You forgot the part where Chief Keef was inaugurated as King of Chicago

[@ReformedRedpill]

Or the part where everyone followed the King out of the corrupt city to pursue guap, freedom, and hoes.

[@huntrrams]

Great video

[@btetschner]

Thank you for the video.

[@peterjamesfoote3964]

Terrible mispronunciation of names: DuSable = Do Sob el. Just to start with. Graphics are not right for city. The boundaries changed over time etc.

[@MrEOM41]

The Windy City 🌬

[@brianamplified3253]

the HAITIAN in 1779 who built the first permanent settlement makes me wonder if there really wasn't ANY other melanted characters in the state long before WW1 , and why this vid OMITS them . Sounds like HIStory again .

[@ImperialSportsMedia]

You see they made him white in this animation LOL

[@AlexCab_49]

[@hellenicboy4757]

[@ktg5713]

[@googleuser5716]

[@JoseMartinez-df2db]

He was married to a local Potawatomi woman and had a son.

[@mattheweraci5502]

Not one mention of the Irish lol

[@maddog2557]

And now it's a drain to the state. So many people wish it would just fall into the lake.

[@AndyDaltonmasterclass]

@Parker P Yeah it’s my favorite place to be

[@jaycup9621]

Illinois looks like a 3rd world country compared to Chicago.

[@forevergone3637]

Well as a southern illinoian, sure we don't get attention. But its not a drain to our state. Its the only reason this state has any political voice and its why we have a the 6th largest economy. The only reason people down here want to separate is becuase cook county makes Illinois democrat and, people down here are plain racist. Don't cover up your hate by saying its "draining our state"... Chicago is the only thing keeping us alive.
