While 1969’s Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid may not be entirely historically accurate, it didn’t stop Rockstar Games from basing Red Dead Redemption 2’s Dutch van der Linde and his gang on the real-life Butch Cassidy and his Wild Bunch. In fact, Rockstar took several influences throughout the game. Watch as we take a look at the real history of Red Dead Redemption 2.
The Real History is a series of videos about historical video games, examining the true events that inspired them. Whether it's set in the 13th century, the 1990s, or an alternate reality, each game has a unique aspect based on or inspired by true historical events, and I'll try to examine these in an educational and entertaining format.

16:58 "Of course tuberculosis is not the only disease that impacted the Old West..."
*LUMBAGO*
Ok, I just want to point out... Lumbago is an actual thing. It means lower back damage. Someone like Uncle, (and if you know much about the Red Dead history, you know that Uncle is far more than a lazy old guy,) who spent most their life on a horse and the jarring that happens due to its gate may damage the lower spine... causing something that back then was best explained by LUMBAGO. I know its funny and a fun meme but its a real thing, just like TB and Cholera. Uncles complaint about his Lumbago, even though Arthur didn't want to believe it, may have been a debilitating pain for him.
Lumbago, Measles, Small pox, Typhoid, Malaria (last major US epidemic outbreak 1905 in New Orleans), the San Francisco Plague of 1900-1904 which was part of the third global plague pandemic. There were quite many diseases impacting the Old West.
TAHITI
When I say "I had this exact thought at this part" there is literally 0 exaggeration. I am so happy someone commented it in this way.
I would contribute more, but I can't on account of my LUMBAGO
LMAO I LOVE THIS
The singleplayer of RDR2 is a masterpiece. After Arthur got his diagnosis and walked around aimlessly in the city, it became increasingly more difficult for me to play through the whole game, just by seeing Athur suffer, seeing the gang break apart, seeing Dutch become more and more insane and seeing Arthur struggle to make peace with himself and others he betrayed, before the end. The characters are so well written. I loved Dutch in the beginning, but hated his guts in the end. Very very impressive writing by Rockstar. Easily one of the best stories, I've ever played through.
Don't be a Weakling
Assassino275 so your telling me you’ve played rdr2 and played the game in detail which is like 40-50 hours of gameplay and getting to know Arthur and the other gang members and you didn’t grow any sentimental feelings for any of the characters
@@Assassino275 you a weakling buddy. Real men aren't afraid to show emotion and be vulnerable.
@@piotrusesports1613 They're pixels man
@@Assassino275 No one is in crisis here, you moron. It's okay to feel sad after completing a game like this, after knowing how's every character in it and how they ended. This game is a masterpiece and the character development, the narrative in general and the music make this game one of the best ones in this generation
Ironically the real Pinkerton Agency tried to sue Rockstar for being historically accurate.
Of course they dropped their lawsuit because obviously they would lose.
Plus it's a game where you play as the bad guys who think they're the good guys. Or at least they think they're the better bad guys. Of course the Pinkerton Detective Agency is going to look bad, especially given today's standards (as in they'd probably be shut down or fined for killing or endangering civilians).
Gamer88 they are good guys in a sense or atleast in the early parts of the game to me it seemed like they were fighting the system (sticking it to the man) and sticking up for what was right and robbing rich and giving to the poor so they were good in a sense until dutch went batshit crazy

Holy shit! I didn't know they still exist.
I never knew how grounded in reality the story of rdr2 was.
The braithwait home's interior is nearly identical to the Andrew jackson plantations inside.
It really wasn’t. In the west the brothels and whorehouses built everything ladies showed up, there was nothing so they entertained the guys and started developing Towns. Red dead did minimal realism work.
jacob wells it’s not hard to make 3D models anymore.
@@randomdude189 This comment is so fucking dumb it baffles me to no end.
It was a big part of the marketing.
When I saw Arthur getting diagnosed with TB, I was crushed. I knew that he was gonna die, but not like that.
Yeah same but it was spoiled for me when I first got it back in Christmas 2018 ...
When it shows him contracting TB, I knew right away what it was. I wasn't mentally ready for him to be diagnosed. A character that was so strong and trying his best to do right by the people that he cared about only to be told that he was going to die. The look on his face was gut wrenching. A mixture of confusion and despair. Absolutely gutted.
@@Murdokk00 especially if you get the cutscene with Sister Calderón
"I guess..... I'm afraid"
His faith was spoiled to me even before i played the game but the way he died and how it was shown made me shed tear. His death really hit me, it's one of the few games that really got to me
@@Murdokk00 John's death is better, he tried so hard to run away and fix his past and in the end he was butchered like an animal when he made his final stand when he knew he couldn't run away anymore. Arthur got a disease millions got it was more oof than aw
You have 1.4k subscribers and you’re releasing videos of this quality? Just know that you’re setting an unprecedented and very high standard for video game history buffs out there
Thanks so much, both for the kind words and for checking out my content!

I am here 3 weeks after Cameron posted and, at this time, there are 7.45 thousand subs, so it like like 6 thousand added in 3 weeks! Well deserved and a great video and, yes, I am one if the new subscribers.
Maybe it is because he literally just started? He has like 5 videos rn relax the channel will grow.
Rockstar needs to make more historical games ASAP.
Nex step could be a prohibition era gangster game
YTLSF supposedly along with GTA 6 they have a medieval game in the works
YES YES YES YES YES
I can see Rockstar making a pirate game, and it going viral.
@@someinternetuser33 Rockstar could make a game about paint drying and it would become a chart topper
I really like some of the smaller details that are historically accurate. For example, early on in the game if you approach Uncle in camp, he will grouse about how the US is going to war with the Philippines, which actually happened in 1899.
That encounter is hilarious, Uncle is so distraught like it's something personal and when he asks Arthur "why are we fighting the Philippines?" Arthur goes "I don't know why are you so worked up about it?"
@@xdguy2569 for the yankee imperialism
Thank you Jesus Christ!
As well as the Spanish American War.

I really feel like playing rdr2 now
Same lol.
I just bought it again today instead of skyrim . My brother has my games and IDK when I can get em back hes outta state. Downloading 16 more GBs of data for a few new items but damn the game is realistic as fk.
@@tony62197 if you need money look up treasure map locations, they give you gold bars which are worth $500 each in game, and there are a lot in the game, make sure you hunt to get trinkets, they're like upgrades to Arthur, eventually the game will show you an illegal Pawn brooker called a fence that buys your loot, loot everyone, last thing you get weapons & discounts for having high honor, too but don't worry too much about the honour because you can raise it way later in the game easy for a better ending...
It’s a really good game tbh, especially the story
@@_wanted_outlaw3007 the fence is unlocked as soon as you get to Horseshoe Overlook
My dads brother had tuberculosis he died when he was 7. My dad remembers it and it was so sad to watch. Everyday they had to come and drain fluids off his lungs.
Clairissa Williamson aww that sounds awful, very sorry to hear
I’m sorry to hear that. I also have latent tuberculosis, I was told I have a 5% chance of it becoming active
@@cyborg5948 you'll be alright booaahh, just get some rest and stay some where warm?
I feel bad for pressing like when there's a comment like this,im sry to hear that
@Stone Cold Steve Austin it's kinda 50/50 the thing is there's no real cure so they have to work with the patient for 12 months
I want a DLC of Rains Falls wars before he knew it was hopeless to fight back. Him losing his other son's would be heartbreaking but a great story nonetheless.
yes!! wouldve been so interesting to see more of the wapiti & other native roots
I personally would've loved a DLC for Charles or Sadie. But unfortunately Rockstar focus on online mostly now
welp never gonna happen. Rockstar cares about money.
My dream is one of the following:
-Aftermath DLC, covering Charles' and Saide's stories.
-Undead Nightmare 2, no need to explain.
-Red Dead Redemption Remastered, which is the previous game with updated engine, graphics and modern mechanics. Like if RDR's story was in RDR2.

ARTHUR WHEN WERE YOU BORN

I've beat the game already, but I've started over. Because I enjoy playing the game before Arthur gets tuberculosis because I can't stand seeing him sad, dying, and sick :'(
Yh which is why I’m not advancing to chapter 3 by moving to Rhodes and Saint Denis. I’m staying here in heartlands near the town of valentine
I’ve played around 15 times and got over 85% in 11 of them
I have a save files for each camp lmao. This game never cease to amazed me. Game of the Century for me
i liked that transition into rhodes 😳😳

You deserve waaaaaaaaaaay more views and subs!
right!?
right!?
Didn’t think I’d watch the entire video. But I was genuinely interested. Good job
Just finished the game yesterday, on the Original's tenth anniversary. Such an amazing game!
same
I am on chapter 3, stupid vampire doesnt show up
You mean a pretty shitty game. A turd coated in gold. You ever try to change your method to approaching a mission or try to do something your way only to fail missions and restart only passing if you did everything as instructed. Very lame game
@@randomdude189 If you're gonna troll-bait people, atleast act like you're trying
@@randomdude189 its not a problem that you have to do the missions in a particular way when they are as awesome and epic as they are in rdr2. And you watched a bit too much nakey nakey, its ok to havy your own opinion, you know? 🤫😉
I'm really glad they took inspiration stories from Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid. That is one of my favorite wild west stories.
Wow! I can tell that you've captured the experiences of the Old West, especially tuberculosis and cholera perfectly (although I have to admit that making quick kills of wild animals does not cause a drop in honor [except parakeets], while wounding an animal and making it suffer does). Also, you made a mention of Eirik Gumeny's personal experiences of having a terminal disease and sharing them with Arthur Morgan's (especially with Javier Escuella telling him, "You just worry about that cough", and Dr. Barnes telling Arthur to find somewhere warm and dry and rest). Nice. You also mentioned that those with TB could spend their final moments in isolation, just like Arthur does if he has high honor in either ending (go with John Marston or go for the loot). So heartbreaking. And I should like to inform you that despite being on its last legs, the town of Armadillo would eventually survive to be a thriving town in RDR1. Also, you mentioned Dorothea Wicklow. She was the subject of what happened in November 2018 when Shirrako's UA-cam channel was temporarily suspended for posting a video of the protagonist killing Wicklow in different ways... but let's not go there. Anyways, that was pretty accurate. Nice vid.
There are no whores in the game and they were pivotal in developing the west. The game failed
@@randomdude189 there were whores in the game mrs downes became after her husband dies
Actually if you go killing a bunch of animals without skinning them your honor will drop
That's because Armadillo's plagues are caused by Strange Man, it's not due to natural causes.
@@angeldeb82 yeah I know that was just the easiest example I could come up with
Please, please can you do a video for the first Red Dead Redemption?
I would love that too!

Watched your LA Noire and GTA San Andreas vids! Your presentation, editing, and commentary are amazing!
You seriously need more views and subs!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words. 😊
im a massive history nerd but i’ve never tried to connect the game with actual history, it makes me love it even more! amazing video!
Man, it really makes me appreciate Rockstar and Dan Houser and Sam Houser but also makes me very Sad that Dan is gone, hopefully gta6 story is more like rdr2 and not gtav.
Yep i hope gta 6 is serious
Why should a completely different franchise like RDR2 impact a light hearted series like GTA?
As a history nerd, gamer, and video producer myself, this was WONDERFULLY done. Superb. I feel like I need to rewatch to take notes on the history.
“There he is, old black lung Morgan” hilarious 🤣 😂
“Coughin billy” micha was hilarious
Black lung, you're back, hooray 🤣
Just a thought but perhaps the police aren't after you for animal cruelty, they're after you for damaging others property
The Wanted pop up reads “Animal Cruelty”. Happened to me for the first time ever when I accidentally ran over a cat on the outskirts of Strawberry. It was dark and I thought it was a rabbit until I picked it up and of course someone saw and reported it.
The only reason that the Animal Cruelty charge is in the game because people would become crybabies if you didn’t get a wanted level for beating up animals.
@@A_Stranger2256 Since when did you drag them into this? They have nothing to do with Rockstar or their games.
That’s basically the devs saying
“You don’t hurt innocent pets”
Anybody who hurts an animal.....
So glad you started this off with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid! That mission made me smile because I knew immediately what inspired it.
I’m loving this series. Keep it going!!!
So crazy he mentions Boston, Indiana... that tiny town is 15 minutes away. Seems like only a few families still live there
Instead of cholera it's now Covid-19
This series is without a doubt extremely useful for learning...enjoyable and also makes you admire more Rockstar devs for the awesome work they did...and thanks to this youtuber for his effort at searching 🙏🏻
the amount of quality in this video is incredible definitely gonna recommand it around me man your channel deserves way more attention
My God!! Only 6k views??
You need way more recognition friend...
So glad that you were in my recommendations.
Not sure how you only have 2000 subs, what an excellent video! Very well put together and informative. Added to favourites!
I found the settlement of Beaver Hollow and its people to be quite similar to the story of Sawney Beane and his clan in Scotland, but that happened on the XVI century, I believe. It first reminded me of the movie The Hills Have Eyes, but then I remembered Wes Craven was inspired by that event to make the movie, so maybe Rockstar was too.
Edit: I was going to say that you should make a video like this about LA Noire and turns out you already have it! You just won a follower :-)
Rockstar is known for its love of cinema, so it wouldn’t shock me if the game had elements of Craven’s work.
Thanks for the support! Appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment.
Your videos are high quality, well developed, informative, free of bias, and honestly amazing to watch and learn from. I‘m amazed a channel like yours hasn’t blown up in subscribers by now, but I‘m sure it will in a bit. The world needs more quality creators like you.

What about the event that inspired the Blackwater Massacre?
@TES Enthusiast If I remember correctly, it was called The Shooting Of O.K. corral.
Erik Allen the shoot out at o.k. corral wasn’t even a robbery
That would be coffeyville or Northfield raids
Stumbled upon the LA Noire vid and immediately watched everything else. Keep it up
Stumbled across this channel by chance, and I'm glad I did. These are very well made videos on a rather unexplored subject manner and I absolutely love it. Consider me subbed.

You can be the reason the Carolona Parakeet goes extinct. Its a hidden mission. When you first discover the flock there's about 25. Everytime you kill some the numbers drop. When you kill the last one the character writes it in his journal.
You could do this in RDR with the bison. You got an achievement for it
This channel is incredibly underrated, well done and thank you for your hard work on this and all the other videos (I haven't got through them all yet but rest assured I will) you deserve props man

I love this. If they do make a Red Dead 3 in an earlier timeline, you gotta wonder what historical events they will use.
Probs you play as Dutch or Arthur’s farther?
We really should let Red dead redemption sleep for a while. We got Red dead revolver, Red dead 1 and 2. That's a great trilogy. If Rockstar makes another western style game I hope they do it with a completely different character set from Red dead Redemptions time line.
@@clydebarrow4439 Uhhh, it isn't really a trilogy since Red Dead Revolver is in a different Universe.
@@godofwar234regi5 actually red Harlow exists in red dead redemption 1 and 2 just red dead revolver is sorta a story being told
I hope they do the 1920’s
Wow, you really did a good job, the video was really interresting. Would love to see one on RDR1.
I love this game but there are a few historical inaccuracies that I've noticed. The one I remember most is that you will frequently come across pallets at shipping ports and the same odd locations (hobo camps) where you'd probably come across pallets today.
The problem is, pallets didn't come into existence until later. Pallets are designed to be used with forklifts and pallet jacks, neither of which had been invented at the time of the game. If you look closely, you can even see the cutaway slots where the forks are supposed to go.
yikes that one hurts
btw any other inaccuracies can you elaborate on?
Subbed, love watching your videos on a rainy day
Most of the gang don't really make fun of Arthur (aside from Micah of course), but they are definately less caring.

Great video--thank you for doing this, I enjoy the historical comparisons!
I think the family fued is based on Hatfield-McCoy family feud, which was bloody and also... two lovers (one each from the families) ran off with the money, away from the mess (almost similar to the RDR2 story)
This the most underrated channel i have ever seen
Thank you for doing this video. Your research and time spent are valuable.
That’s a well-made, informative video. Thank you!
Micah Bells wildman personality was based off of Harvey "Kid Curry" Logan, who was known to shoot at lawmen and people "just to see the gunsmoke"
Yeah, you definitely earned my sub! Amazing video! Im addicted to The RDR Series lol
They need to make a historically accurate mob game based on the 5 families in new york. They could have an option to fly out to vegas to do work there.. chicago.. jersey all of it. Open world mob america game would be dope. Have a chapter where you visit italy. The whole 9 yards. And theres so much history they could make 5 or 6 games out of it. From the 80s on back to the early 1900s late 1800s even.
The bloody benders were new to me, interesting...
I'm not sure if it's in the video since I'm commenting before hand but I'll be shocked if you missed how the Carcano isn't accurate whatsoever. The Carcano we see in game is the 1938 model, and this has been a issue since the previous game as well, weirdly enough.
Edit: This is a pretty excellent video, I don't think I knew that the gang was loosely based on a irl one either. Pretty cool overlaps you show as well.
Everybody is gangsta until American Venom start playing.

Clicked on this video instantly. Great analysis, subbed.
Really good video my dude. Going through my second play through of the RDR2 and I'm taking my time and enjoying it as much as possible. Amazing how much I missed the first time around. Your added context of the historical accuracy helps me appreciate this world that Rockstar built a lot more. By far, one of my favorite games of this last generation.
In other words, Rockstar heads and shoulders above the rest of the gaming world. Epic game!
This was a very well put together video. Lots of details and comparisons to actual real life people and events. Well done.
Just wish we could have covered the sub in pond at Saint Denise.
The positive side at least the tuberculosis is a rare disease present
Because they can treat it and understand it. Cholera was same, they simply didn't know that they were getting it from the water supply. When it was discovered how people got it, water systems and sewers were redesigned for such.
This is amazing, you studied pretty fucking hard on all of this. Please make a part 2.
these videos are amazing, keep em coming!
also this might be a stretch, but a video on manhunt, (another Rockstar game) and comparison to real crimes of that nature, would be really interesting
Yeah I forgot I watched the other videos i found this while searching for some Red Dead Redemption 2 content.
Only 2k subs? You deserve more!
Ethnicity wise a lot of areas are pretty accurate although New Austin could have had more black people to reflect the many African American cowboys and homesteaders that went west and populated towns. Although that there’s black people and Mexican people at all in New Austin and West Elizabeth urban areas is a nice nod reflecting the actual populations of areas out west. West Elizabeth is a bit anachronistic though as its region is based on areas more northwards where Mexicans were present but not as populated like the more west and southwest former Mexican states.
Good video bro this is exactly what i was looking for.
This is absolutely amazing! I was thinking about writing my dissertation topic on anti capitalist themes in video games (red dead showing the american west and decline of cowboys) and this showed me that it's possible to find relevant primary sources. Such a good video man x
If you decide to go ahead with that idea, please keep me updated! I’d love to read something like that. 😊
Capitalism isn’t nearly as bad as people make it out to be. It simply requires work on your end.
EXCELLENT job on this. I love the narration; you stay out of the way of the information in the true documentary style. Subbed.
Well, time to play the whole game again
Amazing video with superb quality and editing! Keep it up!
It’s just a fact; Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterpiece
💯❤️🇺🇸👏🔥
bro u put so much effort on this video, u deserved a million subs
I love this game. I wonder how historically accurate it was for a gang to have people of different nationalities?
All the pictures I have seen of notorious gangs have people of European descent.
I suspect that Rockstar may have been inaccurate in their choices of Dutch's gang. I thought Lenny, Charles and Sean were great additions. But historically speaking, I think people at this time kept to their own skin color / culture.
How many Chinamen ran with outlaws?
They definitely added people to the gang who had no place being there for the time for the sake of “muh diversity” and moving more units!
Unfortunately, the gaming press, like much of the MSM, is completely compromised and so I guess R* didn’t want to have to pay for it with lower review scores.
Not to mention, Take Two is their owner and at the end of the day, tells them what to do. I imagine making this game was very hard for Dan and the other writers which makes sense to me because just a year later, Dan Houser leaves.
RIP R*
This video is wonderful, entertaining and informative. You could not have done a better job.
History is interesting af
This deserves so many more views.
Very cool, thanks guy
My favorite YT channel about RDR2.
wow. its incredible how rockstar captured all of this in only one game world, just fucking awesome
Awesome work here! Good job on all of the research you did. This is spot on info!
One little thing, I think the idea of the two families feuding in RD2 was taken from the movie “Fist Full of Dollars”.
In the Game it’s the “Grays and Braithwaites”
In Fistful of Dollars it’s the “Rojos vs Baxters”.
It seems linked too being that Clint Eastwood plays both families just like how Arthur does in the game.
Also Grays (color gray), Rojos (the color red)...Lots of little connections. Just my 2 cents.
Rockstar loves using cinema as inspiration, so it certainly wouldn’t shock me if they used that as inspiration. The fact that the Grays and Braithwaites, as well as the Jones’ and Liddells, all had opposing plantation homes, however, makes me think that there are certainly more inspirations than just the one.
