Absolutely insightful and detailed part of New Yorks history here that many people forget. Also nice to see how we as New Yorkers are always one people.
Something about listening to your description of the history of newyork makes me hopeful that we can continue. No matter what history throws at us, we can continue
Thanks for jumping in the way back machine for this story. This fire directly affected investors of the Erie Railroad and the building of that line. At the time , America's Longest Railroad. Piermont to Dunkirk.
Garret my name is Clifford. I love your work. I was born and still live in Rockford Illinois. This place that I love and sometimes hate is my home. Please look into Rockford. Love to you and yours from us
@@AA_BB_CC_D turns out none of my videos are monetizable. Ive done this all for free in my spare time and i work 6 days a week usually. I am going to put links to my venmo/paypal in description and hope for the best. Working on another vid now. If i can actually make a little income off doing this, i can probably cut my work schedule to 4 days/week and actually start making content more consistently. Some have told ne to set up a patreon but i believe that w patreon there are specific expectations you have to meet and im not quite there yet to where i can prioritize this channel over my job and if i ever get to that point i wld be over the moon
Thank you Garrett for this illuminating and well produced historical documentary. We were spell bound with your thorough research of pertinent pictures and your engrossing narrative. We are now more knowledgeable about this slice of our history. karys' mom & dad
thank you for these kind words. Im aiming to make more content of this nature. NYC history is my specialty. too bad that tourism is dead in the water until the world has woken up from its covid coma. Next time i will choose a topic that sparks a wider interest. again, thank you for watching. I am glad you have seen it and learned something. I put a lot of effort into it, and so far the view count does not reflect that.
New York City has long been known for its diversity and progressive values - the city of immigrants, birthplace of the Harlem Renaissance, but the city has a barbaric past from the slave market of Wall Street to draft riots in 1863 where innocent black New Yorkers were attacked ending in a death toll of over a hundred. The sale and keeping of slaves in New York City was common since its founding and it wasn't until 1841 that New York State finally abolished the practice. In 1991 when Federal Plaza was being constructed in Lower Manhattan, an excavation found intact human skeletal remains located 30 feet below Broadway, a 6-acre burial ground containing upwards of 15,000 intact skeletal remains of enslaved and free Africans who lived and worked in colonial New York. Now a public monument, the African Burial Ground is a reminder of the city’s history that is often neglected.
This is well done, don't understand why the algorithm hasn't picked it up more and shared
Great video! You’re an amazing narrator!

This is an excellent historical video.
There were many weird fires throughout the world in major cities.
