In 1527, Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca set off as a part of the Narvàez Expedition to conquer Florida.

Using makeshift boats, Cabeza de Vaca and a handful of other survivors drifted across the Gulf of Mexico before landing near modern day Galveston, TX. Cabeza de Vaca and three other men would spend the next 8 years wandering what is now the Southwestern United States. Come learn about their voyages on this episode of Footnoting History.

How much is it impossible to know about an icon? This episode investigates Tadeusz Kościuszko’s place in historical memory. From the early 19th century onwards, myths coalesced around him and his role in the Polish struggle for independence.

Beautifully spoken. All the way through. Everyone will speak a foreign language with an accent.
Why have you not learned the basic sounds of the Spanish language pronunciation. Your video is difficult to sit through by Spanish speakers.
"For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. " -Revelation 16:14
It’s also the name of a Patchwork block!!
And me, lol
The Loyalists did not go to Ontario because Ontario didn't exist. Canada didn't exist. Please check the facts.
The British did not surrender in 1781. The war continued right up to 1783 but granted after Yorktown the British realized that the war with those 13 provinces, France, Spain, the Netherlands was likely not going to end well.
Just how many Loyalists were there? How many Loyalists fled those 13 provinces in rebellion during the civil war? I've seen a wide variety of numbers. I used 100,000 because the USA version would naturally choose a much lower number. Besides who were considered Loyalists?
Declaring independence is not the same as achieving independence. If those 13 provinces of British America which were declared "in rebellion" in 1775 actually gained independence why did the civil war continue for another 8 years and require the massive assistance of France, Spain and the Netherlands.
Just how many colonies were there in 1775 British America? There were 19 provinces, 3 massive territories, and innumerable colonies in the Caribbean and Atlantic. This is a good start in understanding the real First American Civil War 1775-1783.
Can you please make a program about A. George Washington’s wooden teeth B. Napoleons biles and the assumption that Waterloo was lost because of him having bathed during the battle and him being in great pain and in consequence not being in full command of his senses.
Candace Owens brought me here too, Leo Frank was from a powerful family and well connected if there was proof of his innocence it would have been found. Anti semitism wasn't a thing in the south at that time ...the ADL was born after this case for this case and for cases like this.😊
Yeah and if the KKK believes a black dude over you then you're probably guilty af lmao
Candace Owens brought me here.
Same 😂
Same lol
Shes the goat for calling this out

Have you ever injested Monotomc gold? You say it does nothing, but you are quite mistaken freind.
We are using it. Its not just monotomic gold that is needed but vitamin and mineral help. And it does assist in not being addicted, along with the mind's ability to see more clearly with a brain well fed.
This is why Rocerfella instituted AA through his stooge Bill Wilson and the institution of inverted gnostic disease modelling was born.. its big news not heard...
Thanks!
Queen Anne's Aunt Anne Boleyn was my 12th Great Grandmother. ❤ Thank you for remembering her! 🙏
Fascinating, thanks so much! I found this podcast because I've been reading Ariana Franklin's historical "Mistress of the Art of Death" fiction series about a young woman doctor from Salerno who was summoned to England by Henry II to solve some mysterious murders. I also love medical history and I wanted to find out more about these amazing women.
Was this a video on silver or slave labor? Yes, the use of slave labor to get the silver was wrong, but so was the horrific treatment of natives by Spanish missionaries and the forced labor in mining, farming, military operations around the world for millennia. Every region of the world has used slave labor and those slaves were never treated well. In comparison (comparison mind you) the African slaves used in colonial America were treated much better than in many parts of the world. Slavery is an abomination which encompasses all other evils. It sucks but it is a part of human history and is even a part of today since several countries still openly allow for human slavery and many other countries turn a blind eye to it.
I hate to say it but this man predicted the future
I don’t like the fact that the reporter or moderator of trainer keeps talking over the Black Lady who is trying to tell her family story and how she is trying to white wash the story by telling the hardships and degradation imposed on the Slaves rather than highlighting key aspects if their resistance.
Happy birthday!!!
Pathetic. Learn to pronounce Italian words if you’re trying to give a history of the nation. Learn to segue properly. Did you know segue comes from the Italian verb seguire- to follow. You’re wasting your knowledge because you’re not taking it to the level to which it belongs. Stop being lazy, it’s not as cute as you think.
It's a pagan Celtic tradition and not in the least African American. . Here educate yourselves Likely, the tradition of jumping the broom traveled from Britain to the colonies. Pre-Christian Roma and Celtic communities in the British Isles were known for jumping the broom to seal their wedding vows. Rural Anglo-Saxons embraced the practice as well.

Turlough Luineach was described as “Chief of Kings, the King of Ulster…” by the Irish poet John Buidhe O’Daly in 1584. He is mistakenly described as a “collaborator with English authorities” in some modern Irish histories, but was actually described during his lifetime (by his cousin Hugh O’Neill to Queen Elizabeth I) as an “enemy of the Crown” and by Queen Elizabeth’s Lord Deputy of Ireland as“treacherous” and “a traitor”. Turlough was brother-in-law to his powerful Scottish ally, the Earl of Argyll, and was a cousin and father-in-law to his arch-enemy, “Red Hugh” O’Donnell, The O’Donnell of Donegal. For over a quarter of a century, he reigned from his castle near Strabane (in the western portion of the Muintir Lúinigh), and frustrated both the efforts of the English to tame and colonize Ulster and the ambition of his cousin Hugh O’Neill to become the ruler of Ireland. During Turlough’s long reign, Ulster remained a relatively peaceful bastion of Gaelic power and customs.When Turlough Luineach married the widowed Lady Agnes Campbell MacDonnell, the sister of the powerful Earl of Argyll, in 1569, he gained not only a large dowry of redshank mercenaries provided by Argyll, but also became father-in-law to his cousin The O’Donnell of Tir Connell. When she married Turlough Luineach, Lady Agnes brought thousands of troops with her. Their marriage was celebrated with fourteen days of feasting, story-tellers, jugglers and jesters.During the twenty-six years of his reign as The O’Neill Mor, Turlough was reviled by the English as being a treacherous villain and the greatest threat to English authority in Ireland. Despite their repeated political and military efforts to remove him from power, the English were faced with a military stalemate, and finally settled for a treaty in 1578, negotiated by Lady Agnes, which confirmed Turlough’s vast land holdings in Ulster, granted him the British titles of Earl of Clanconnell and Baron of Clogher, for life, and allowed him to retain his personal army of Scottish mercenaries. In spite of this treaty, Turlough continued to intrigue against the English through covert alliances with Spain and Scotland. Turlough Luineach maintained virtual control of Ulster until 1593, when he was finally forced by failing health and military setbacks to cede power to his ambitious cousin, Hugh O’Neill, the Earl of Tyrone.Following the defeat of Hugh O’Neill and the united Irish forces at Kinsale, and the Flight of the Earls in 1607, the entire Kingdom of Tyrone (including the Muintir Lúinigh) was seized by King James I of England as his personal fiefdom. Over the next few years, the territory was parcelled out to English and Scots nobles and planters during the Plantation of Ulster. Some of the Ó Lúinigh managed to stay on in their beloved and idyllicMuintir Lúinigh after 1607.
Excellent video, thank you.
The World Mission Society Church of God borrows alot of 7th Day Adventist Beliefs, and discusses some of the failed End of World Predictions from William Miller (and also had our own share of failed End of World Predictions). Recently I've found the motivation to start to research some of the William Miller offshots, What Christ Ahnsunghang taught, and what really did happen at the Council of Nicea. #7thDayOffshoots #wmscogOrigins #SecondComingChrist
This some full on craziness! Guy better had ran, he belonged in jail! Back then they would have hung him. 13 year old girls?!? No telling what all he did he kept quiet! Communes are bad! They hide way too much in the name of their false religion! A polygamist wife swapping pedophile incestial cult should not of been allowed to go on as long as it did. Sounds like they prayed on the little girls there! Towns folk should have done something sooner! Sounds like the familes there was commiting incest with daughters and sisters against their will. Didn’t seem like the ones born there, the young ones had a choice there like the adults that choose that hot mess. Sounds like the adults that choose it, the offspring they birthed was forced into things they didn’t choose. But that’s how the perverse operates. People with sick minds doing sick things do that. And those people was sick in the head! They sound a bit like Scientology with some of their practices. I see where Scientology got it from.
I went to St. John’s and I missed his burial site. I feel so blind for missing that door sign. I even bought stuff in that gift shop

Edward, Earl of Warwick, was placed in the Tower by Thomas Grey, Marquess of Dorset. The Marquess was one of Elizabeth Woodville's sons by her first marriage. He had become the guardian of Edward, Earl of Warwick, following the execution of the Earl's father. Richard lll RELEASED Edward from the Tower, knighted him, and bestowed the title of Duke of Salisbury upon him in August or September of 1483. This title had previously been held by his own son and was inherited through the Beauchamp line. (The mother of Isabelle and Anne Neville was a Beauchamp.) Richard installed his nephew in his own household, thus giving him the first semblance of a family life since the execution of his father. Henry Vll put this boy back in the Tower where he remained until Henry Vll executed him.
