@@alishermo You don't need a source, they are all dead because it was over 100 years ago. They either died on the trail, or they died later. Either way 100% of them are no longer physically alive.
I just finished binging 1883 (the spinoff show of Yellowstone), and it opened my eyes on just how dangerous, unforgiving and cruel the Old West was on relatively normal people. The immigrants from Europe in that show suffered terrible fates, and they didn't even know how to properly handle the harsh environments they had to travail in the Oregon Trail.
Imagine growing up in a highly urbanized and polluted European city but dying in the middle of a clean and pristine nowhere. What else could you ask for!
@@melz4766 There's also a followed up series 1923, starring Harrison Ford and the story continues off 1883 but with different casts under the same family tree.
Ngl, I’m lowkey surprised he didn’t mention the Donner Party. You didn’t just need to traverse this whole trail safely, you needed to do it _quick,_ lest the winter set in on you.
Also what doomed the donner party was when they decided to take a new trail no one had ever taken before. That slowed them down immensely, and they would have had a fair chance of safely making their journey if they just took the normal route
He did the equivalent by putting in the lithograph of the Whitman Massacre... Or as history would tell it: "Just what happens when a Karen tries to tell a nation that they're wrong, she's right, and they only exist on the planet to serve her." They served her a dozen blows from a tomahawk... Right after they brained her husband for telling them their gods didn't exist...
Yes, I definitely played Oregon Trail when I was in elementary school (but only at school, since my family didn't have a computer at home). Even though I had good, but vague, memories of the game, when I played it again decades later as an adult, it was actually terrible.
I had cholera and dysentary at the same time lmao I was feeling tired so I stepped on my porch to get some air then I collapsed and started shaking and screaming because my insides where liquifying 3 days of IVs and heart rate of 140 I started feeling better but almost had pancreatic failure lmao I am glad to be here
I love this channel because: 1. Gets STRAIGHT to the point, no pausing 2. The wording 3. The drawings 4. The fact that its funny AND educational 5. The subjects
Even in modern times, it's not very fun to drive from Kansas City to Portland (I've been a passenger for the entire journey, although not all at once). The modern Trail of Tears (from Florida to Oklahoma), which I drove myself alone a couple of years ago, is also not very fun.
@@mikew3194 Lol, hell no, you are NOT right. 1) why would I be drinking when I am driving all day alone? 2) I HATE beer! and 3) I have never, not even once, drank Yuengling beer. I only even know it exists because of radio commercials, but I've never seen or heard of anyone actually drinking that shit until now.
@@MatthewTheWanderer Oh sorry, I didn't mean to offend. I identify as an ally to the LGBTQ+ and homosexual community in general. Never heard of a beer radio commercial myself though! That's interesting.
Ever since I discovered this channel, I have had a ton of differnt channels pop up as recommended with very similar animations, but none of them can even compare. I love the humor and the facts combined, even with the sponsored add I got a good laugh.
dude, this history chennel is awesome! i don't like history that much but these videos are WAAAY more entertaining than that boring history classes from school, it's just straight to the point like i already said before
since I live in Oregon many of our Oregonian ancestors came via the Oregon trail, something interesting I found out was that since Chapstick wasn't really around they would use the grease from the wagon wheels to relieve their lips
Realistically this would be easy, if I just spawned in and had to go through the Oregon trail I wouldn’t have any family or extra stuff to waste space except mandatory stuff for survival, this will be easy as cake
soooo, get lots of alcohol to desinfect, boil water before drinking it, then settle down at the columbia river instead of crossing it, build a bridge together with others, demand high crossing fees and become a rich lil town ^^.
The natives were actually a problem in that a few people in the tribe would keep repeatedly raiding, robbing, and killing travelers on the trail. Overall, though, most were peaceful.
UA-cam suggested the most evil human experiments video to me and it looked like good animations in the thumbnail so I clicked. However many minutes later I'm finishing the video and mindlessly clicked the next one I saw. I guess I'm subscribed now 😅😂 @6:00 I unliked the video so I could relike it and then did it again
10:20 I honestly didn't expect the picture of Pou Pou Mox Mox taking a hatchet to Marcus Whitman... although, I've obviously seen it before. Greetings from Walla Walla WA
9:39 😂😂😂 I love the Nickelodeon Guts trophy! You have no idea how badly I wanted one of those as a kid. After years of not even thinking of that thing I see it again for the first time in ages and where is it? Lodged in some kid’s skull. Hilarious!
The person I am assigned as? No, probably not? But ME? Yes, I would, because I know modern survival skills and I know how to set bones and germ theory. Not going to catch me dying because a broken leg, no sir!
Whenever I think, "Wow life sucks. Everything sucks. I was born in the worse time ever. Will never afford a house and will have a worse life than my parents and cant afford myself or kids" I watch some history videos and then remember how good I have it.
Reminder that Oregon is pronounced like"organ" and not "or-eh-gone," but I'll count my blessings and be happy he's not trying to pronounce Willamette, Hoquiam or Skookumchuck 💀
I'm descended from the LDS pioneers who settled Utah, Idaho, Montana and southern Alberta. I grew up on these stories of what my ancestors went through to find a place they could build their own lives and escape religious persecution. As mentioned in the video, you can find so many memorials on the trail and in Utah. Native interactions could go either way. Native outposts, as you said, were very helpful, but sometimes Native warbands weren't far behind.
Natives used to be a problem on the trail some tribes are hostile but most aren’t generally they are friendly but not all of them are some would steal cattle or other supplies some would attack people but that was quite rare
It absolutely boggles my mind that legally you could claim 2.64 kilometers of land for free. Imagine if your ancestors had the foresight to claim a piece of Telluride and hold onto it until today. That land would be worth 100’s of millions.
I stumbled upon this channel by pure luck while looking for videos about historic events. I can't begin to tell you how much I love those videos. They seamlessly blend comedy with animation, making learning about historical events so much fun. Kudos to the clever creators! 🥳
Him pronouncing Oregon with that extra fancy second O Is both painful and perfection. I’m from Washington and due to the PWN accent it sounds more like “oregen”. Love the video!
I don’t know why but this video whenever I watch it triggers my body into reminding it that I’m low on potassium. I’ve had hypokalemic attacks both times I tried to watch 😭😭

Because the Donner Party were going to California, not Oregon.

The Donner Party and the Forlorn Hope Trail were absolutely horrifying. Damned if you join the group on the trail, damned if you stayed in camp.
