10 Reasons Why Life In The American Old West Was Actually Terrible.
It’s challenging to find another period in American history that has been as romanticized as the American frontier of the 1800s.

Wiping out the buffalo was a great evil. The entire scope of destruction was horrific.
Yes, it was!! It's horrible what the white man did!
True, but can you imagine hitting a buffalo in your car at 75mph?
@@missanthrope2 your ignorance is stunning, an obviously racist comment. They needed the Buffalo for everything! The meat and the hides were life saving. Your comment is stupidity itself.

Wiping out the buffalo was the way to tame the Native American. It was their food source
My wife and I live right now with a small RV trailer with a 14'x20' room we built for a whopping cost of $286. It is made much as these people made theirs. Logs from the forest make the walls, the floor is made of flag stone we gathered not to far from our home. We have the advantage of windows we salaged from transportainers. Temps in the winter go as low as -20°f. It is warm and comfortable. Yes it is much easier to live in the times we live in compared to the homesteaders, but you can build a comfortable home from the natural materials at hand.
❤😝❤ thanks to saw blades chain saw s shovels ropes lawn mowers double blade axes wire bottles of alcohol mosquito repellant bug spray shot gun shells . matches" flash lights and toilet paper, blankets .. The native had all this and the emmigrants came in killed them and took it .. Much like today prison are full of these same types. (Margaret Sanger and the red eugenic)
Every thing get deleted
There's a good book called "The Good Ole Days were Terrible". City life was just as bad esp in summer. The rich left NYC in summer due to the smell.
For those referring to Appalachian cabins and such, they had timber, the prairie didn't. Open space and some probably didn't know what they were getting into, they just wanted something of their own.
The Oregon Trail game was pretty harsh. “ you have died of dysentery “
We have it made in the shade today and yet we complain. I thank Almighty God I did not live in those days.
A+ video!
Incredible video, very helpful for understanding the culture of The American Old West!
thank you for your comment to the Native Americans. THEY knew how to live well and comfortable and made better use of ressources than those miserable settlers. But they were pushed away and their way of life and culture were destroyed and replaced by something that did not work out very well for the settlers, if you compare the survivors to those who did not make it.
These days in 2024, housing still unaffordable.
Same sad song and dance. They promise and take away... 😮
Fabulous journalism
But people somehow made it didn't they? My sympathies always to the natives. God help us
They would have scalped you too.
@@MarlinWilliams-ts5ulNah, I'm bald as a cueball --- maybe give me a spit shine...
Not always...
Amen
That was a very educational video. I have never heard this about the old west before.
Where have you been?
@@lindickison3055 I don't live in the USA, I live in Australia. Henceforth I have a very limited knowledge of the Old West.
Omg u make it sound like a horror story. I live off grid, no electricity or municipal water, dug my own well,, always make sure the outhouses are downhill from the well,a duh.
And how much have you learned about it thru books and videos.? .they didn't have that luxury and were probably poor city folks who wanted to escape that life without even thinking about how hard it would actually be . Much different times
Getting clean water in The Americn Old West sounds stressful!
These pictures have absolutely nothing in common with the narration .
Lmao.....ok I thought it was just me.!!
Same here@@sevenspecie592
The pictures show the truth. Yes, it was difficult, but tens,even hundreds of thousands, succeeded. This narration is poppycock!
Visuals are extremely random and many have no connection to the story.
What are photos of starving people from India doing in this mix. Those kids are suffering from quashiokore.
I would say that the pilgrim fathers' time is also heavily romanticised.
I saw early pictures of that time. The Daltons/ The James and other outlaws taken pictures of after their death. In order to prove they had been killed, most of their clothes had been taken of. You could see they were meagre, malnourished, alcoholics. A couple of the pictures on your video also show that some people were very very thin. There are a couple of pictures of Calamity Jane. She went from being a nice loking Irish girl, to a fat and bloated alcoholic.
These disastrous conditions explain why so many lost their claims, and we got to today's situation: most Midwestern/Western farms are huge and owned by few. This was of course re-inforced by the great depression in the Dustbowl, and "Okies" (using this word with love) forced to go west.
The issue actually ressembles what happened when Europeans explored the Arctic. Many of them were too arrogant to understand that Inuits and Sami, who have lived in these parts for very long know how to face the climate. Likewise, these European invaders were unable to understand that they would be much better off if they lived like the Indians were living. Which on the other hand, got more difficult with time, because of the destruction of the Buffalos, which provided much of the Indians' building/clothing/cooking materials.
Hooray! The commercials rule! This is the first YT video so dismal as to make the commercials welcome.
Frontier life was harsh.
That photo at 6:48 says it all.
Coming to America was a BAD IDEA back then, and it's still a bad idea today. Just stay wherever you are!!
it was hard on the settlers but the natives had it right
i wonder why they didn't copy the native Teepee's. They were the experts
What,and admit they weren't superior to the indigenous people:not a chance!
Boo hoo
A lot of settlers would have perished without help from Native Americans. The Donner party was rescued by a tribe that invited them to stay the winter, knowing they couldn't make it. So many instances like that. Over and over they came to our aid...and were repaid with genocide. 😒
I was just thinking the teepee 's were probably so much warmer in the winter months! The white man was to busy trying to kill & control everything!
Some probably did as a stop gap measure as they worked to complete their permanent housing. Not everything was documented.
My ancestors must have been a lot smarter than the people you're talking about. They knew how to build and supply themselves with food and heating. They built outhouses and knew where to place them. This whole video is WAAAAAYYYYY over done.
@taliawelch2036 ° ❤😮❤ keep in mind there was viciously Evil people whom of which would butcher and eat native American children .. Much like Jeffery Epstien
Jeffery Epstein copied the kidnapping molesting and murdering
I'm sure there were hardships,but not nearly as grim as portrayed here.
❤😝❤ if you read a few history books you will see Mormons killing and cooking people.
❤😝❤ Bloody Benders would kill and rob people and barbeque their flesh and sell it to other starving people as beef... That is why they called it the wild west.
The photo at 11:50 looks like Australian first world war troops. Mounted infantry known as Lighthorsemen , probably taken in the middle East.
I do not think you should have shown pictures from starving Indians and Africans: there were plenty of US ones.
We don't have much room to talk now..
Some of this is true most of it is not.
What has pictures of cities to do with pioneers
Defiantly not the west of Hollywood. But another informative video..
Why does everybody say "defiantly" instead of "definitely"? One person makes the mistake and then everybody copies it.
Pioneer life? Way too many photos of city life!
Many of your photos are from Europe 20s 30s & 40s
This is for the most part completely false. Log cabins built in the 17 - early 1900s are still all over the Appalachian Mountains. They were constructed very well.
The western settlers took these skills with them.
Many of the western settlers were from the big cities. They had no skills like the folks in Appalachia did
Thumbnail is from Holodomor, not the American West. Ya T Bone Steak!!
Poor video! Even have pictures from other countries. So many clips from movies rather than real life. Tons of picture not from the 1880s.
Some of your photos are not from America. I noticed Australian settlers…
15:30 That's not the Old West, that's India! My guess is that was taken during the famine in Bengal during 1943. Regardless, that is not the United States.
A lot of the pictures have nothing to do with what he's talking about. There are pictures of the Irish famine and victims of the 1920-1921 Russian famine.
That was USA for sure
@@missanthrope2 Oh? Care to name a place and a time?
@@odysseusrex5908 please should you see the movie - The killers of the flower moon. As the country side looks the exact same area?
@@odysseusrex5908 I just posted the reply and they deleted it? Who ever is policing
Great commentary, but a lot of your photos were inappropriate. I saw photos of soldiers from the Civil War and even one from WWI!
You need to find a different cover image since the one you are using is from the 1920-1921 Russian famine
Why do they keep inserting pictures of starving people in India, some wearing the sari of turbans?
Why did he show pictures of people in Europe, India and large cities back east? Pics were very misleading.
tis should be shown to the woke dross living now
The narrator sounds like he wouldn't have survived long passes to childhood.
This must be that privilege people talk about.
That image is from the Holodomor.
They didn’t work all day. They didn’t work during the heat of the day for one!
You make it sound like they didn't know what they were getting into.
Many did not. Nothing to lose. They might survive.
Most didn't
Moreover…
Bore... ING!
It's getting super creepy when the voice, the script and even the pictures are AI generated and you realize none of these people ever existed and the script wasn't even written by a human. This AI also makes the 1950 movie trailers (with video) for Star Wars, The Matrix, all sorts of modern movies. Creepy.
Why use clips which have absolutely nothing to do with the suject?? Just filler.....,....😮
I hate AI thumbnails.
GFY
We fought the "Round Eyes" in wars for over 300 years and ultimately lost. Quit with that boo hoo crap.
Boooo!
Where is this white privilege?
what a load of crap!
I prefer the romanticized version of the Old West as portrayed in TV shows and movies, rather than being weighed down by historical facts and truths.
Immigrants but to Americans "settlers" is just a nicer more accepting way of saying it.
Lots of B O…😖 no body washed
