Censorship of comments is disheartening. Too bad the documentary labels the hard working laborers and leaders with undesirable names. While they gave their lives so Americans could have better lives a d the 8 hour work week and other fair labor practices. Yet doesn't label the greedy horrible men businessmen instead 0:44 of tyrants and murderers. This murder of the labor leaders for speaking out against unfair labor practices is a slap in every working person's face. This time of greed and labor abuses was a horrible stain on the USA. Thank God for these saints that fought for the benefit of generations to come.
Wonderful! I am the Great grandchild of Herbert S. Mills. A huge part of the early 1900 in Chicago. He was the inventor of the slot machine. This is such a special documentary!
Love the show miss the stories of old, you learn so much. I often wonder "Could the people born today, ever be able to do what so many before us did during these groundbreaking times" The 1750's to 1950's? Answer NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!
This shows that workers have been fighting for the rights of the masses since time began and yet we can't won't unit to get a seat at the table to impact a better life for our children and generations to come.
It never was Capitalism that was the foe, it was Corporatism, Parading as Capitalism. .. and now you can finally see what ya didn't believe. (Modern Industrialists, are the Corporatists, the Gilded Age continued) Main Street is empty and Amazon, Lowes, Walmart, AutiZone, etc ...
It’s embarrassing how few people understand economics. Capitalism isn’t markets, it’s government staying out of markets. America only had that for a short time, and even then nit so much.
As an Australian, and having worked all over the USA, I have to say Chicago is the most interesting US city. Thy have this great attitude that says, "fuck you NYC or LA, we had the contest won 100 years ago. And they really did. The Jews and Irish took over NYC after about 1890, but Chicago did their own thing with a special kind of culture, crime and society that didn't allow any one group of migrants to take over. I worked there for a year and even being a white Anglo, I had no problem wandering the south side and never felt anything but a welcoming. If I had to sink roots permanently there, I would be happy.
Sorry to say, bloke, but the city has turned on itself. You wouldn’t last 10 minutes on the south side these days. A real shame what this once great city has become…

@@adammetz135 I don’t need to watch cnn or msnbc to tell me about Chicago, a city I’ve been in my entire life I walk and public transit through everyday. Please stop it and knock it off with your assumptions.
Lol they talk about him on part 1 in good detail about how he was the first settler and why he moved to the west coast after the native americans wouldn’t make him a chief
This is the best Chicago documentary I have seen and I have watched a lot. Thank you for posting this.
This is only the middle. It ends with the story of the World's Fair.

Don’t watch history film’s if you don’t want to know the detail’s of what happened after something disastrous happened in Chicago ‼️
@@deborahbaker4770pretty sure you completely misunderstood that comment😂
Dang. I once got the sunshine award. 2nd one after they started it. Why do they post. Remember
Go figure. A documentary about Chicago but no mention of the black man Jean Baptise Point du Sable who found the city 🤦🏿♂️
Lol they talk about him on part 1 in good detail about how he was the first settler and why he moved to the west coast after the native americans wouldn’t make him a chief
I stand corrected. My apologies. I must have missed part 1. I will go back and watch it. I did still enjoy it. Great work.
