Sam, your videos always put a smile on my face. Your human gems reflect the hope of a young nation. * Our declining population has misplaced the idealism, hope.
Interesting also the German connection... in this gold rush, starting 1858 from San Franscisco up the Frazer Canyon all the way via Vancouver, BC to the Yukon & Alaska... 3 well known Germans were part of the treck going north: A.) Alvo von Alvensleben (a business man, who was once the richest trader at the Vancouver Stock Exchange, when he opened it in 1907 and fled to Seattle before 1916), B.) Baron von Mackensen (running a poultry farm and accused later as a German spy by the British in 1914 and having his Prussian uncle August von Mackensen as the founder of the Totenkopf-Emblem during the German/French wars and misused by Heinrich Himmler for his Totenkopf-Standarde and SS) and C.) Joachim von Ribbentrop (book keeper back then for gold mining companies, who gained his "von" title through marriage, later 3rd Reich foreign minister on the side of Adolf Hitler and the first of the Nuremberg defendants to be executed by hanging in 1946)... There is quite a connection here between Germans and British Columbians.
And yet the Americans still describe themselves as the "good guys" here. I like that you have the actual Alaska border too and not the fictitious panhandle. BC was multicultural even before settlers came. Its very interesting to learn just how different from eachother different indigenous cultures could be. Still to this day it also seems like we would be far better off if democracy had never been established in BC. I can only watch with glee now as the US collapses further and further each year. I hope future generations of British Columbians seize the opportunity if it presents itself to grab back everything the Americans stole plus all Alaska. They still treat the Natives and Blacks as barely better than slaves down there.
Keep of the great work Sam and Co.!

Sadly, there are just propogranda to promote hatred of Europeans. Not one bad word about Natives Canadians as if they are sweet innocient victims. :)

Very interesting history. Thank you!
Alvo von Alvensleben did not flee BC to Seattle. He was barred from returning to Canada in 1914 as he was considered an enemy alien.
@Kumtuks this video has a lot of misleading info in it and out right lies
Why isn't this taught in our BC schools?

James Douglas comes across contrary to what the W̱SÁNEĆ Nations state about his reputation, treaties ...and slavery.
Yes, Native Canadians kept thousands of Native Slaves. The European women slaves were often sold after a few months of abuse.
very tru Joe (Isaac)

propaganda
Exactly what I noticed. Not one bad word about the Native Slavery or Massacres
@@daveistrading not only that but they lied about a lot in the video to
