I really can't thank you enough for bringing your readings to my beloved state. I know you're just reading, but ... they lie on us. So it actually means a lot that you tell the truth. The truth of my great and God given state and her ardently loving people.

Amazing stuff! My grandmother's family came from Switzerland to settle in what is now the Marietta area. I need to do more research but they were part of a contingent of Swiss settlers. Fascinating subject that is completely overlooked and derided in many instances in history. today.

My family came to va in the early 1600's. My sixth great grandfather moved to GA in 1803 in what was columbia county at the time. He received the land from a land grant for fighting the British in the Revolutionary war. In Oct 1870 that part of columbia county became part of McDuffie county. I still own a small part of the the land and will pass it to my son. British records say that our civil war was fought for the same reasons the Revolutionary war was fought.

@@ianflohr5885 One of the biggest reasons for the war was the election of Abraham Lincoln, who was on The Republican Party ticket...newly created as an anti-slavery Party. Slavery meant huge profits (it still does...it's called human trafficking now). Cotton from the southern states was essential for European textile factories as a part of the Opium Trade with China. Dope trafficking, of course, also creates huge profits.

One needs to have a conception of Georgia's Topography and Geology prior to interpreting the "Georgia Deal" for the Immigrants. Georgia had a number of existing Native Peoples in existing Civilizations, (not merely a Hunter Gather state of living). There were Creeks, Choctaw, some Cherokee, and a couple of other tribes in Georgia. It appears they "overlooked" this and that would prove to be a source of "unhealthy existence".

Love history especially from the overlooked perspectives. British colonies of the 17th and 18th century have similar stories. In the Bahamas the "planned communities" were designated as "Crown Land". These were awarded to the loyalists who paid into the monarch's purse. Pirates/Privateers were that century's entrepreneurs. So much of what we call "laissez-faire capitalism" was birthed in the southern colonies of the Carolinas, Virginia and Georgia. Keep history alive by unearthing the past buried in books. 📚

Most informative video. In school I learned the inforpance of the formation of colonies such as Pennsylvania but had no idea about the in-depth history of Georgia. Fascinating. And this is told in a way that makes sense for the thinking of that era (obviously I disagree with any type of slavery but this is what existed then unfortunately). Everything I’ve heard in this video lines up so that you get an understanding of cause and effect, meaning why each step was taken and the thinking behind it. I feel I learned so my from this video.

When I was in middle school in the early eighties, it was being taught that Georgia started out as a penal colony and that the "unfortunates" it was initially populated with were not colonists, but in fact, transportees, that is to say, CONVICTS. That said, it stands to reason black slavery was illegal because it isn't possible for slaves to own slaves. The planned economy makes sense as does the fact that the British penal colony of Australia didn't come into existence until AFTER the American Revolution. I was also taught that Louisiana was a FRENCH penal colony. Am I saying the history given in this video is untrue? Absolutely not. All I am saying is there have been a lot of far reaching changes to historical narratives since the advent of the information age.

Are you referring to the Irish as slaves ? . They were not slaves . And some English and Irish were convicts but most were poor uneducated people looking for a come up in the new world. Which they got. Everybody got paid but black people . Yes there were some free black people but 90% were slaves and 5% of the free black people were mixed/ white passing black people.

I also interpret that you wisely point out "the Value of having the more complete information". Appreciate the shared information. I would add: the value of "Applying Our Higher Mind", ("Higher Mind, aka Mature Mind, aka Adult Mind" rather than reacting from our "Lower Mind, aka Ego Mind, aka Adolescent Mind" (the "Lower Mind" is susceptible to easily being manipulated and misled, which is why Mainstream Medias highly Foster the "Lower Mind". This is how they easily divide the Public. A divided Public is no threat and is profitable. A United Public, practicing Higher Mind Thought realizes that "We the People" literally hold the Power. Higher Minded Individuals don't require others agree with their perspective, in order to be respected. 🔑 They apply Discernment rather than being Judgemental. What a beautiful state of Mind/Thought. A Media that respected its Public and held the Wellbeing of the Country as a Value, would be "Informing the Public in how to Achieve their greater state of mind" rather than feeding the Public's Lower Mind" for the Owner's Profits, Agenda, and Power. Information remains the most powerful tool for Control. Money is 2nd. Beth Bartlett Sociologist/Behavioralist and Historian

Obviously they don't tell you that in your romantic history books written by the British 🫣 or how Scotland and Ireland to this day is stolen land colonised and conquered by the English!! All this Scots and Irish during this time was outlawed! Facts. Our language,our clothing, our music absolutely everything. If your gonna speak on Scotland and Ireland at least learn it's history.
