Forgotten History: The Black Man Who Founded Chicago

Рет қаралды 133,001

Күн бұрын

In this video, we're turning back the clock, setting our time-traveling DeLorean to 1780. Picture a time when black backs were breaking under the oppressive weight of the slave trade, working tirelessly to churn out cotton and build the American economy. Yet, amid this struggle, a remarkable black man made a discovery that would eventually house millions of people, shaping the destiny of a city we now know as Chicago.
So, buckle up, time travelers, we're about to unveil a tale that might just flip your historical perspective like a pancake at a Chicago brunch spot.

He did not found Chicago, He is the longest resident. More than 100 years before he came the natives were already doing business with the French who were living there. They named the river , the Chicago river. Dusable came in the second wave of explorers in the 1700s and was the longest resident because he married a native woman. He is called the longest resident because those who stayed there didn't last more than 5 years because of war, winters and French politics.
