Westward Expansion: Crash Course US History #24

Рет қаралды 4,201,164

Күн бұрын

In which John Green teaches you about the Wild, Wild, West, which as it turns out, wasn't as wild as it seemed in the movies. When we think of the western expansion of the United States in the 19th century, we're conditioned to imagine the loner. The self-reliant, unattached cowpoke roaming the prairie in search of wandering calves, or the half-addled prospector who has broken from reality thanks to the solitude of his single-minded quest for gold dust. While there may be a grain of truth to these classic Hollywood stereotypes, it isn't a very big grain of truth. Many of the pioneers who settled the west were family groups. Many were immigrants. Many were major corporations. The big losers in the westward migration were Native Americans, who were killed or moved onto reservations. Not cool, American pioneers.

America’s Westward expansion was fueled by both Manifest Destiny and a desire to grow the nation and its resources - though at a cost: www.commonlit.org/texts/manif...
As Americans continued to stream West under the name of Manifest Destiny, American Indians saw their lives changed forever as they moved from practicing resistance to lives on reservations: www.commonlit.org/texts/from-...

I feel like people completely blow past the channel name "Crash Course." He's not going to discuss every single thing in US History. People are mad because he leaves out important bits of American history that they themselves declare more important than others. I would think it important for him to expand on the Mexicans turned Americans who lived in the West a long time before the country's expansion and their assimilation to the change -- but that's only an opinion! not something turned to true importance to the country's history just because I deem it important. It's also not something that should be brushed aside as unimportant, however understandable why it wouldn't be included in a (what?) crash course! Just enjoy whats given to you for free as a subscriber and stop criticizing. If it bothers you that much, do the work yourself -- make you're own crash course (and I mean that seriously, not as a form of insult).

The best US history teacher I had in high school did not shy away from the sadness, moral degradation and mortal consequences of the westward expansion, but neither she nor I nor any history teacher I have yet met were able to drive home the correlations, causes and momenta that related industrialization to westward expansion. Kudos.

As depressing as this is, I've studied so much about the history of the Indigenous People of North America that I can say it's not really as depressing as the reality... but mostly because it only scratches the surface of the topic. But thank you, John, for at least shedding more light on the topic than any of the history classes I had from grade school through college.

Trololol. Anyway it is a shame, I'm not sure how it would've turned out if people would've cohabitated better, probably a lot more tolerant obviously, but the problem was the European superiority that was brought over and especially (can't really blame people to much about this one) the disease. Ultimately though people will be people, and it's not like native Americans back then weren't apt to try and use the colonists to benefit themselves with trade and such which would spark wars with other tribes, but totally agree, the broken promises and constant land grabs were horrible. On a side note too I went to Arizona a few months ago twice and stayed there a couple days both times, it was fascinating. It was very different from what I'm used to in the South East, there's just none of that different culture over here, it makes me wonder what this area would've been like.

You should look at early French-Indian relations. John talks about it in an earlier video. Basically, the french and Indians traded a lot and intermarried, creating mutually beneficial trade ties with Natives for a very long time. This is because France never put large numbers of people here, so they never dwarfed the native population.

Good episode. Makes we want to learn more about that period. Btw, when I was in school (here in Berlin, Germany), it wasn't up until 12th grade that we learned about the charming horrors of 1933 - 1945 in this country. We were kinda surrounded by history with the Berlin Wall all around us and several divisions of soldiers occupying the city, but the actual history of the first to second world wars was was not taught to us. I learned that from TV documentaries and later books. All pre-web.

You mentioned Australia's policy of removing aboriginal children from families and placing them with white foster families which lasted until the 1970's but that happened in the US and Canada as well. They took children from their mothers in the hospital after they were born and put them in the foster system. That's what happened to my mom, who was born in 1967 and she ended up getting adopted by a white family. Her little brother, who was also adopted, was also taken in this way.

It's astonishing to me that I didn't learn about allotment until literally the last possible moment in my education-- my final semester in law school when I took the totally elective class of Federal Indian Law. It did always feel like there was a gap in my US History classes, where we just stopped talking about the Natives until the 1970s (if we got that far), but then no one had ever taught me that the tribes had been treated as sovereign nations up until a certain point either.

he didn't even cover a fraction of it. have you ever heard of the battle at wounded knee? 400 native Americans were doing the ghost dance, when the 7th cavalry turned up and placed cannons around them. they then confiscated any blade, gun, or even kitchen implements. then, one ONE supposedly resisted, so they started firing indiscriminately into the crowd, killing over 240. 23 Americans were killed by friendly fire. 20 medals of honour were awarded for this and they are STILL valid. this was business as usual for the American army at that point

We welcomed them as brothers, knowing nothing of their greed. Born hunters, not the hunted, as the white man hunts for me. We are descendants of the animals, we live upon them free. Our trail of tears would end, one day at wounded knee. When we do the ghost-dance, the buffalo will return Paint ourselves for war, let blood and fire burn. Great spirit make us strong, take us to the sky The Cherokee are brave, we are not afraid to die. There has been much killing, there will be much more The medicine man is dancing, he's calling us to war. Hatchets sing with pride, let the white man die.
