Hey, great video! Perhaps the next video can focus on Joseph Brant of the Iroquois Confederacy! His story is a great one, and his documented words in his death bed unforgettable! Just a suggestion!

Monrovia is named after US president Monroe who setup Liberia as a country for freed U.S. slaves. Flag of Liberia : 🇱🇷

Hmm, but most who came there, came from the southern part of the land back than, naming their settlements after home cities, such as Antwerp and Hoboken. Back than it wasn't the Netherlands, but Leo Belgicus.

Monrovia is also a city in California.

Morava/Moravia is a historical land, now part of the Czech republic. The adjective "Moravian" is somewhat inaccurate in this case, because the church did not originate in Morava. It did have a significant presence there. Moravian church has its roots in prelutheran protestant movement in Bohemia founded by Petr Chelčický known as Unity of brethern. Morava was a land of the Bohemian Crown. The church members had to escape religious persecution and that's how this church started its mission outside the country of its origin. First they settled in Saxony and most of these refugees came from Morava - hence the name.

Of course it would take a long time to do, and you'd probably lose some length from tying it together, but still quite a bit, about 10 football fields worth.

@Tina Draper that was more the tribes west of the Mississippi, the Iroquois had settlements with longhouses made of timber. Picture Vikings with stone tools.

@Dan Ryan That isn't true at all. Many tribes were nomadic and followed migrating game, gathering fruits and vegetables along the way as they found them. Some lived along the coast and large rivers, changing location depending on the season. Even the tribes that had permanent or semi permanent settlements didn't have very large ones. Except the Iroquois, who had settlements of hundreds of individuals. The name literally means "People of the Longhouse"

@Dan Ryan Most of the examples given were cultures that existed before European contact, which is fairly irrelevant to the topic at hand.

@@ezandman6804 Lol, idk if you're serious about them being a native tribe? Since your from overseas I'll give you the benefit of the doubt 😂 What you are referring to is the Mormon church (A.k.a. Church of Latter day saints) and their more "traditional" communities/members. The Golden tablets, said to be found by Joseph Smith in New York (founder of the LDS) were used to write the book of Mormon (their bible). You mention many women to one man, that's practice of Polygamy. It used to be normal for mormons long time ago but I've never seen a polygamist here as it is very uncommon nowadays. Though I'd say it stands true that mormons, usually, have a lot of kids. I don't think Mormons are dangerous, certainly not LGBTQ friendly for the most part, but not dangerous. Just another religion based around Christ. As far as actual Native Americans in Utah though, our tribes consisted mostly of Shoshone, Ute, Goshute, Paiute, and a little Navajo. The LDS, gold plates, and such came with Western colonization of the area in the 1800's, hence why I don't consider them a "tribe" certainly not natives. I'm not Mormon though my knowledge is just patch work I've picked up having been raised here.

@@Kaikon_S ...it was a (poor) joke I guess, sorry. I am a bit familiar with mormonism. I read about that stuff AND they sent missionairies to my country . They have their own church building in my city in the Netherlands. They all wear the same strange clothes so it is easily to spot one in the crowds. When I see one I sometimes hail them with " Yo , Utah!" most of the time they think that is funny. But now that I think about it they only send males (elders?).

The more rhotic sounding accents of southern and central England only receded into the West Country in the latter half of the twentieth century, under the influence of a media driven onslaught of London English and the contrivance we know as RP. The American accent derives far more from the speech of the 'Scotch-Irish' than that of (very) early English settlers.It was these people who first settled in Appalachia and beyond,carrying their accent , customs ( eg Halloween),and Presbyterian religion with them.

This account is from THIS native persons first encounter with Europeans. It is not stating that this was the first encounter of indigenous and Europeans in ALL of the Western Hemisphere. Thus, neither the title nor the information in the video is historically inaccurate.

Hudson went on Dutch flag not English.

@@Johnnyapplseed6582 The story in the voiceover is told by Jon Heckewelder as his version of what was told to him. Heckewelder records this story around 1770 but, if the story refers to Hudson and not Verrazano, the story refers to September of 1609 -- 161 years prior. That is clearly more than one generation so at best this is a missionaries interpretation of an orally relayed story that had to pass through about 4 generations. A story with that provenance is surely corrupted. The indigenous people of Manhattan island were very familiar with visitors from distant parts of the earth for example the Taino who came from the area which is now Venezuela on a regular basis. Taino people intermixed with people near modern day Wappingers NY around 1000 BCE and again around 1300 CE. Beans were introduced to the NY area around 1300 CE and Taino and other peoples followed the migrations of various animals frequently, perhaps even annually. Contact with Verrazano in 1524 was well known to people of Manhattan island. Hudson records indigenous people on the coast of Maine speaking French which proves they had frequent contact and trade with europeans long before Hudson arrived. Asserting that events and "inventions" are irrefutably "firsts" is something that cautious historians avoid.

It was a shitty time all around

Yep cos the indians where "noble savages" who didnt kill each other for a few acres of land or as sacrifice to their gods... Those times where prety dark wherever you where, the difference was that in Europe and the "Civilized" world things where slowly getting better, whilst these people where stuck on the Iron Age. So European colonization was a natural occurrence(just like in nature,the stronger lion takes the weaker ones territory for its resources) if not even beneficial in some sense.

"Iron age" might be too kind. The Mohawks had no metal at all, not even ornamental gold or silver. No written language, no concept of the wheel, ideas of the white man increase to destroy all mankind

@@mikediamond353 Why is the wheel important to you people? They had no need for it therefore it wasn't invented. Also every group in Europeans didn't invent the wheel. It was invented in the middle east and spread to europeans. Why is ornamental gold and silver important? They are literally just useless rocks. Lastly written language isn't vital, and besides the greeks, no europeans independently developed written language. Most of western europe wouldn't have written language until the latins, who used a greek inspired script, gave them their script or inspired them to make their own through contact. No Eastern europeans would have a script until the greeks introduced one to them.
