Oohh you're gorgeous

i am white and i see these folks as colonizers and thieves. but here we are.

Why don’t most documentaries about the European immigration to the United States rarely if ever mention that the Spanish were first then the French? They usually just start with the Mayflower of the Pilgrims & Puritans. It’s an Anglo-English narrative. Spain & France were there before England & also can’t forget the Dutch & Swedish also Russia with Alaska. Good part of your genes have Spanish roots, don’t forget about Spain & what they accomplished.

But Christianity is a load of crap, and your people aren't even originally Christian anyway....

Lianacordova How could your father b white if he was Indian?

Hey those are my ancestors, too! On my maternal grandfather's side, at least. Maternal grandmother's side I'm related to the Cooke and Warren families (Richard Warren's daughter married Francis Cooke's son, and both gentlemen sailed on the Mayflower, along with Francis' son.)

Two very cool family histories! Thx for sharing it. 😊

They are my brother and sisters

We are related! John Billington was a way back Grandfather to me also.

Francis was born about 1606, possibly in or around Spaulding or Cowbit, Lincolnshire, England. Francis Billington was named as one of the heirs of Francis Longland of Cowbit, Lincolnshire, England. (A manorial survey taken in 1650 indicated that Francis Billington was then living in New England and was about 40 years old. Francis himself gave his age as 68 in a deposition from 1674, making him about fourteen when he came on the Mayflower with his parents John and Eleanor Billington.) Francis was an active, rambunctious youth. He nearly caused a disaster onboard the Mayflower shortly after arrival in Plymouth Harbor, when he shot off his father's gun inside a cabin, sending sparks towards an open barrel of gunpowder. After he came ashore, he climbed up a tree and claimed to have spotted a "great sea" in the distance: a small pond that still carries the name "Billington Sea" even today. His brother John died between 1627-1630. His father was executed murder in 1630. Francis married Christian Penn Eaton in July 1634. Christian was the widow and third wife of Mayflower passenger Francis Eaton. She brought Eaton’s child from his first marriage and three from her marriage to Eaton (including one who was disabled and referred to in Bradford’s journal as an “idiot”) when she married Francis. The couple had nine more children together and raised their family in Plymouth, where he was a carpenter. They struggled to provide for their large family and some were bound out to other families to rear. About 1669 Francis was one of 26 original purchasers and settlers of Middleborough. Although driven off during the Indian wars, they returned to Middleborough in 1670 and lived there until his death in December 1684. Christian’s death date was not recorded, but may have been near the same time. The last recorded mention of her was 13 July 1684. The 1703/4 probate petition by son Isaac indicated that his parents had been dead for over 18 years.

Great story!,

So let me get this straight...Your ancenstry's legacy of the betterment of civilization through slavery and war is something you refuse to be ashamed of, but feel ashamed enough to have to explain why you shouldn't be ashamed.....Got it.

@@randyt3558every country and race has blood on its hands. Why are we acting like white people are absolutely evil? Every race owned slaves. It’s horrible to think about, but don’t go re-writing history to fit a narrative that suits you.

And what they did afafter to the Indians massacred them and keep them in reservations so are they really was seeking religious freedom warmongering until presently

So interesting. I bet you have some stories that have been passed down.

@@margarettickle9659would not likely bear any likeness to reality.

@@Paleotech1and how would you know that? I actually come from several generations of family members that kept many astounding records of various happenings amongst our ancestors and passed them down. I’ve expanded on the family tree passed down and am back to the 1200s on both sides of my family. Many of the names on it are absolutely amazing. It’s wonderful to know where/who you came from and to have the records to back it up. So, yes, the stories I can tell bear a great likeness to reality, thank you.

William Bradford was a yorkshire man, we are a hardy people. He was a leader and one the Governors of the Plymouth Colony for 30 years.

Are you just guessing, ha? OR did you get DNA tested. HE is in my family line is why I ask.

@user-wm2hv2mh9b, Yours is the same deflection as used today in Jerusalem. "If I don't put you out of your home someone else will." Others are "uncivilized" but we so what we are doing is alright. Bradford and Standish murdered the native leaders who became suspicious of the "new immigrants" intentions within 18 months of their arrival. The "bible" cures everything by Calvin's "glorify God by becoming "wealthy." What about "moral" approach? What about a recognition of other humans as having the same value as yourself?

yeah, we are all decendence of slaves.

For the record there were NatAmer at first harvest feast but none of them sat at a table (except Massasoit or Squanto?)- they contributed deer meat and ate with pilgrims but not like some paintings or tv shows project.

Yep she's a trip 24:00 she's hearsay. Pilgrim diaries record payment which is their biblical culture & they've no one to prove to but God. Like I said, lib3ral tears.

Meh, objectively, they only had a direct impact on their direct descendants, of which today, very few are. The tragedies (even if viewed as somewhat necessary) enacted upon the natives, in particular the suppression of wider knowledge of their culture and medicinal practices, were too high a price for the shambles we experience today in all but a few places. Overarching point here is, the European migration would've continued unto such a result, without regard for these pilgrims

​@@Goji-eletienne The problem is, if it hadn't been Europe, it would've been China. And although contact with Europeans practically annihilated my own ancestors, my own family is far-flung enough now -- in 2023 -- for me to know how much worse that would've been. History is a viciously-violent place, and it will still be when 2023 is far in the distant past someday, and people centuries hence will look back on us and all the horrors being perpetrated today. Humans are humans, all we can do is try to be better than the worst of us, and aim to be as beneficial as the best of us. 🤷🏾‍♀️

"Only had a direct impact on direct descendants" !!!??? They laid the cornerstones of this country and what it became. Don't waste your time. She is just miserable and likes to be anti-tradition. They have no vision nor do they ever ponder things like what would this continent be like if Russia or China got here first. Doubt if there would be any greetings exchanged at the outset, but probably just mass annihalation of indigenous. @@zxyatiywariii8

Wow. Impressed. I'm a 2nd generation born in US Czech. Just a late comer!😊

Me-ds2il What year was Squanto transported to Spain to b sold as a slave! I wonder if Squanto realized at the point in time of his kidnapping that he was gonna b sold as a slave! He must have been very young, perhaps a boy?

He also did some time in England if my memeory is right --then went back to NoAmerica.

​@@chairlesnicol672if there was any kind of battle, slavery was a thing back then and all throughout history. He probably knew he'd be a slave, just not taken back to England for it.

@@Mr-Damage More than one close call in our family history in North America. Our ancestors fought in every war since the founding of the USA. Some came home, some didn't. We go back a long way in this country and most of us are having a hard time believing that the majority chooses a return to autocracy, like under King George III. We haven't done all of this hard work and fighting for 400 years just so a few chuckleheads can throw it all down the crapper. Expect fierce resistance to autocracy in OUR USA. Peace.

Even though the names are fake there have been warring tribes on this continent long before Europeans got here

Nobody ever discusses that, do they?

Exactly!!

They literally said they were being imprisoned for their beliefs in England. Not even the 6 minute mark.

Absolutely correct. ...This is also one of the best examples of the failure of socialism!

communism can never be a utopia for that reason. if done true to form but voluntarily , it becomes unfair, if forced, it becomes a fascist nightmare, dystopia. ironically, this can be said of the current form of capitalism and forms of socialism.

@@user-wm2hv2mh9b Dude, if they hadn't cooperated in the beginning, forming a separate community to pool their resources for the journey across the Atlantic, there wouldn't have been any pilgrims at all. An all- privateer gang would have cannibalized each other before they even made it to Cape Cod. Yes, they landed in Provincetown and stayed for a season there before moving up to Plymouth. Are you gonna say they left P-Town because there were gay people there, too? The concept of socialism wasn't distributed widely until Marx wrote "Das Kapital" in 1867. I know revisionist history is popular with some, but do your homework before spouting utter nonsense.

Private enterprise over communism!😊

@@jabbermocky4520bet you’re the life of the party….

God has everything to do with the founding of America and the US Constitution. It was the founders understand of Scripture through which the rights of man are established; not by governmental decree, but by our Creator. It would behoove you to read up and research the founders and their beliefs, and the writings of the men who inspired them… including the Bible!

The indentured servants at Jamestown also had problems with their employers and colony administrators. Too many had to endure mistreatment during their contract period only to be given worthless land once it was completed. The new colonists that paid for their passage became irate when the administration gave them marginal land to develop since the established wealthy colonists were allowed to buy the best land first when more was acquired from the local tribe. The local tribes were smart and allowed the disgruntled colonists and runaway servants to acquire land from them well away from the Jamestown Colony since the newcomers exchanged trade goods for land instead of taking it away by conquest. By 1620 the Virginia Company in England changed things by installing new colony administrators and allowing colonists to settle outside of Jamestown to live with the natives. My mother's paternal ancestor arrived at Jamestown at the age of 19 in 1614. He paid for his passage so was awarded with 50 acres of land. The kid arrived with money so bought 150 kegs of tobacco to send back on the ship to pay for his wife's passage and supplies he wanted. The colony administrators required for all exports and imports to go thru them to earn revenue for the colony. By 1620 he and his family were residing on the other side of the Great Dismal Swamp by the Albemarle Estuary with a community of Friends (Quakers). The region was considered hostile native territory so he was able to bypass the colony by conducting trade with privateers and smugglers.

I, too, am a direct descendent of Edward Doty and Elizabeth Sole

Edward was a grandfather of mine also.

My cousin was a wonderful genealogist .S he traveled to cemeteries & places where public record were kept. A result of her passion for history revealed that our family are descend ed from Thomas Doty. She belonged to the Daughters of the Mayflower. I am grateful for her hard work. I have learned so much about my family beginning with Thomas Doty & knowing about our family today@

My father In law was related to Bradford. The old parchment scroll I saw years ago was as long as a dining table with both leafs put into it. It was amazing!! I believe my ex SIL has that parchment now. He passed in 2009. There is also said there is a Miles Standish connection. He was raised in Plymouth and worked on a cranberry bog. He sat for my NYS dental hygiene board exams and was a fine man. His family history was fascinating. I wish he was around to ask him more questions. His memory is what made me watch this. Very interesting program, even though I disagree with the woman stating there was no repayment for the seed corn.

My ancestor was also Elder William Brewster! Nice to meet you cousin! My ancestry is through my matrilineal line. God bless you in Jesus Name!

But we'll never live down what we did to Native and African Americans as profitable and shameful land grabs.

​@@seankearney6632There always has to be a tard that brings hateful politics into every discussion...even about the Mayflower. Get a life.

OK Karen@@karentucker2161

EVERY person's ancestors did bad things, most did much worse than "bad". Nobody is innocent and clean of blood. The "noble savage" is a modern revisionist BS idea from people who never have dug into history at any location for any time period.

Why would there be

Yes, much of the entire Northeast coast was cleared of many tribes due to European plagues before the Pilgrims came. These Eurasian/African diseases killed far, far more natives across all of North and South America than wars and other activities.

​​@@emsnewssupkis6453 And even now, centuries later, this affects people's immune responses. For instance, although measles was mostly a self-limiting childhood disease for many Europeans, it nearly annihilated my ancestors (even more so than smallpox!) and even now, as a child I had to get a much higher dose of measles vaccine just to get the same immune response which descendents of Europeans get from one dose. Ethnicity matters in our medical records. Another reason is individual salt requirements (some people need more than what the USDA recommends, others need less) and Vitamin D, and all kinds of other things. It's good to research what our ancestors had access to, and exposure to, for our own health. (I got hyponatremia and fainted and fell down some stairs when I limited my salt intake to USDA recommendations, and a Scandinavian friend of mine also has to get extra salt; while a Black friend of mine has to cut her salt intake to HALF the USDA recommendations or she gets high blood pressure.) Edit: typo

Wow. That's really something! Wish I had something more intelligent sounding but ....thats neat!

@glenngeeful had 5 on Mayflower if you count two wives and a daughter. Hopkins was in Jamestown and on that ship that wrecked in Bermuda. His first wife died so he went back home and came back with a new wife and children

Hopkins was a Stranger, Brewster was a Saint. They have a Pilgrim Museum in Leiden.

So cool, meeting distant cousins on KZfaq 😂 I'm decended from Hopkins as well. It's so cool watching things about monumental things in our country's history knowing your family was part of the story.

Family search informed me i had 17 ancestors on the Mayflower, including Bradford. Seemed crazy since I'm a California native, lol

Have had honor of seeing it several times actually sailing around Plymouth and points south. Simply beautiful sight and gets the imagination going in a good direction.

Mary Smith 9361 There was a few years ago a plan to rebuild a Mayflower at Harwich, Essex, England, but after the money was raised through contributions from the Public everthing went quiet. UK Police finally got involve and it ended up as being a big scam, yes the Person responsible had some of the Ship rebuilt using unemployed local people to the same standard as the Original Mayflower, I have seen the Keel and a few of the cross Ribs and that still remains in Harwich, Essex, England. The Captain of the Mayflower lived in Harwich prior to sailing on that long journey. The Original Mayflower was built at Killingholme Haven on the South Bank of the River Humber, mid way up the East Coast of England. So would not the building site of the Mayflower be marked as where the Journey began? There is a Blue Plaque (Historical Building or Site of Interest) at Killingholme Haven to commemorate the site. Tony in Essex, England

'greatest adventures ever accomplished by men/women!' please not at all.

You are free to think as You please

They did nothing more than sail the Atlantic. An adventure indeed but very far from “one of the greatest adventures ever accomplished by man”. The Vikings regularly made the crossing hundreds of years before the Mayflower bigots did.

Why are the people claiming they discovered us? Were we lost or something ,m far flung stories of Vikings, Chinese m space aliens discovering us long before Columbus.....

St Augustine Florida was and still is the oldest city in America. The goal of the Spanish was to find gold and resources. St Augustine was a stopping place for ships loaded with South American plunder before they made the crossing to Spain. The settlements in the North coast were mostly about freedom of religeon. Most of us being of English decent it is our story that interests us the most.

Nobody cares about the Spain. I'm not even sure it's a first world country anymire?

Verified William and Mary Brewster descent also. Hello cousin

But don't you know they all lived in peace and harmony, communing with nature, and each evening they would all join hands and sing kumbaya.

Well. ya should be thankful EVERY DAY your ancestors didn't get wiped out by genocide so people could come from all over the world and pile a bunch of JUNK on their land.

New Amsterdam🇳🇱 aka New York City🇬🇧

​@@BlackiscipleDid u know who was the narrator in this film! The credits list failed to mention this !

Family history is fascinating! One of my ancestors, Pietro Alberti, was a member of the aristocracy from what's now Northern Italy (his grandfather, Giacomo Boncompagni, was the illegitimate son of a pope), and had to flee to escape from would be assassins. He figured the Netherlands would be far enough from Italy, moved there, and married a Dutch lady. He found out a few years later that the Netherlands were not, in fact, far enough from Italy, as he narrowly escaped from a would-be assassin sent by his old enemies. He moved his family across the ocean to New Amsterdam, which was captured by England a few years later and renamed New York.

Spent time in both locations very educational experience. Both offer museums & the likes.

No, the first surviving settlement. in Virginia. and back then Virginia was a territory that I recently learned reached all the way to the Hudson River for a time.

We are related. I was able to research my ancestry all the way up to John Alden!

Priscilla was my 16th times great grandmother.

I am a descendent from John and Priscilla Alden also. My grandfather's sister did research years ago. However, I am in the process of researching this in Ancestry to verify. It is so intriguing to look up all of this information.

It's wonderful to find someone defending Jehovah's name and truth.

At that time poor hygiene was normal compared to our standards.

If everybody stinks, nobody stinks.

Buckets and spillage of human waste or sickness would likely be unbearable, sardined into the Mayflower.

Glad you enjoy it!

She was my 16th times great grandmother.

Sounds like he was a leftist😂

Around my 8th great-grandfather agreed with the Quakers right for their beliefs. Many were killed for supporting the Quakers. They ex communicated him for a while. But let him live. Probably because he was the son of the Pilgrim pastor Rev John Robinson my 9th grandfather.

The civil war. As war propaganda the north made a big deal about the founding fathers making the Pilgrims the star over Jamestown since Jamestown was in the Confederacy.

The book Albion's Seed explains the characteristics of the founding subcultures of the United States. The settlers of New England came from East Anglia, while the settlers of Virginia came from Southwest England. Both groups were rivals for cultural influence and power. The book also covers the settlers of the Delaware Valley (Pennsylvania) and the borderers AKA the Scots-Irish.

Correct

Don't forget St. Augustine, Florida ... founded in 1565

Briefly: All United States jurisprudence derives from the Mayflower Compact. The Jamestown project was not by any means a self willed effort to reform the reformation and start afresh in a new land. (More of a compulsory work camp, actually.)

And no women!

Saints and Strangers

If women had also been “allowed” to sign the Compact, it would have been much more revolutionary.

No women 😢

I can't even recall my ancestral mother's names. Shame on me.

It's the meeting of an old established civilization into a new land of a lesser developed civilization. The clash of cultures was unavoidable.

My family passed it down to me. It's called Diehard Extra Crispy Turkey, and involves butter, croutons, a Sears Die Hard battery and a set of heavy duty copper plated jumper cables. Guaranteed to knock your socks off.

Thank you for expressing it for me.

@DavidColey yeah I agree... and they actually ended the video with a real nasty comment from her. I guarantee you she's a Democrat.

Stirring up ethnic strife and bitterness is all the fashion these days in the academic world.

If events didn't unfold the way did... Then who knows ! Maybe China? Maybe the czars? Hmmm

They'd fled England due to religious persecution (seemed to change w each king or queen) and went to the Netherlands. They noticed after a generation or two their childrens minds were becoming diluted with worldly pleasures rather then how the reformation had molded their beliefs. A bit more to it but that's the crux of it. Of course a lot of scalawags joined in, just for the chance to escape prison or death penalty.

You should read Albion's Seed. It describes in some detail the founding subcultures of the United States. New England was settled by English people from East Anglia while Virginia was settled by English people from southwest England.

Looks like we are distantly related as Issac Allerton is also in my genealogy.

The Niña and Santa Maria, were the ships that Columbus used along with the Pinta.

History is neither left or right it's history.

I'm fairly familiar with the KJV and don't recall the Geneva Bible was used. James 1st HATED the Calvinist ideas and especially hated the Geneva Bible with its slanted and even twisted interpretations in the side notes. That's why James was hardcore adamant the KJV have zero notes and such.

@@LuvBorderCollies Yup and this is why my own ancestors came to the New World wilderness rather than bow to King James.

You lost me with the last sentence. Separatists were fleeing king James and rejected his new Bible in favor of the older Geneva. That first 1621 Thanksgiving was in fact the Sukkot of the Torah

At 1 point the natives were very ill & the pilgrims tool good care of them! They were friends and allies with numerous tribes!

And we accept their word overthe native women why? Upshot is we do not know .

You saying the were growing corn already? Then why were they starving? Corn is an american crop hun. But . Maybe . Its two peoples word and theyr e all gone so we cannot test it now

They were also starving in a place iwth the rickest food sipply... they did not know how to find it. So yoy say they were grouwnga niatve crop to a degree they paid it back so soon? Unlikely but who can tell for aure ? No one is who .

Why not the pilgrims lied that they had paid for the seeds?

And Islam brought much more. :)

Really? Thanks for the warning! I only clicked on this at all because long sea voyages have always fascinated me, whether they're large ships or tiny ones like the 10-foot "Yankee Girl" built by Gerry Spiess, who sailed that boat across the Atlantic way back in 1979. Edit: Stupid spellcheck changed "Atlantic" to "Atlanta" -- "sailed across the Atlanta"? 😂

Shoe love is true love!

I think it was the hardest clothing article to make in the New World. They took a beating every day by working in the dirt and worse for leather...getting wet and drying out by a fire...repeat. Garments needed less specialized tools and skill. Plus suitable leather from cowhide would be a long time coming.

Then how come the ship wasn't named the Imelda Marcos? lol Tradesmen, farmers and cooks were on board.

My understanding is that Priscilla Mullins father was a cord waiter (shoemaker) and intended to makes his fortune by selling his goods to other colonists.

Cordwainer, not cord waiter
