How Davy Crockett became an American legend

[@CynicalHistorian]

An important omission here: Crockett was involved in the Creek War alongside Jackson. He was reputed to have been alienated from Jackson's Indian-hating because of a massacre during the war. That crucial early interaction colors their entire relationship. Jackson was politically ruthless, and Crockett's opposition to Indian removal (the Trail of Tears is only one tribe of the 5 major tribes affected, BTW) meant that he became alienated from the administration. So it's important to connect the Creek War to Crockett

[@jopo6876]

He didn’t leave his home "for fun". His father sold him into servitude to pay off debts and he reportedly fought with all his might to get back home.

[@mr.apocalypse5143]

I don’t imagine Crockett actually wore his frontier outfit during his last stand at Fort Alamo like the paintings depict. Pretty odd attire to wear during a siege battle in the middle of the desert if you ask me.

I would honestly suggest doing the independence movements in South America in general, because while the players and figures are all larger than life, they all eerily play out in the same manner weather it is Bolivia, Columbia, Uruguay, Brazil etc.

[@lesleeherschfus707]

Fess Parker who portrayed Davy Crockett was paid scale and did not receive residuals from syndication. Disney stiffed him royally. Also he was typecasted which limited his career He made his money from buying land that later became LA.

[@colesimons2000]

You should do a semi-crossover between South America & the United Kingdom...look into the 1980s with the Falkland Wars and, perhaps, how it is able to shape Britain’s modern-day politics.

[@philipleth2535]

Do an episode on Africa! :-)

[@policebaby8750]

Cool I’m also related to Davy Crockett:)

[@MrBassmann15]

I think Davy Crockett was a good man who's herorism was to fight off what he believed was a tyrant. Crockett served with Jackson during the War of 1812 and saw how he horribly treated the Indians. Crockett knew Native American culture well since he would talk with them all the time when hunting. He also didn't like how Jackson treated him and his other volunteers. He didn't give them food, so he led volunteers to find some by disobeying orders to not leave camp.

[@svnsnt]

Given. He did not become “this” American hero. He became a Texan hero. A Lone Star hero first. Remember the Alamo.

[@nkanyezihlatshwayo3601]

[@odysseusrex5908]

9:26 It is highly unlikely that Davy Crockett was one of the men captured. They were taken in a room of a building. Crockett's station was defending the barricade around the low wall. It would have been very difficult for him to get inside and in to a room. The Mexican officer who recorded in his journal that one of the prisoners was Crockett does not say that he heard the man identify himself as such, or that he knew Crockett on sight. He simply says that the man was tall and good looking and he therefore concluded that it must have been Crockett. If the prisoners were at all interrogated before being murdered there is no record of it. Crockett was well known in his day, and it was known that he was among the defenders, but no one ever recorded any of the prisoners actually being identified as him. I'll tell you right now, it wasn't.

I think it was because of the trail of tears which was a big blow the the fur trade because a lot of settled land was owned by both owned by French fur trappers which Davey Crocket was considered their hero, and Native Americans who were also resourceful for finding good land for squatters and showing fur trappers where to put traps and how to fallow the seasons for the next year. This could be the reason why he hated Jackson so much along with his heated language about Native Americans.
