    I cannot encourage people enough to take a continuing education class about the area in which you live. My husband & I took a "History of (my area)" at the local college. Learned all about migration, then focused on the native trails in my area, which are now interstates. My area was heavily impacted by the Civil War in 1861-1865, so it was also shown to us where troops stayed, where battles happened, the old roads that used to be important but are now grown over, and so much more. Been here 30 years and had no idea.
    Please react to Schoolhouse Rock! A standard during Saturday morning cartoons in the 70s-80s. Short "commercial" clips about math, social studies/government, and grammar. "Conjunction Junction, what's your function?" is one of the best. But you might want to look at the US government ones. I still have the Preamble to the Constitution memorized because of Schoolhouse Rock.

      It was also done to prevent a possible future war with France. The US had gotten Florida from Spain, but the Spanish considered everything up too New Orleans to be part of Florida. Sorry Mississippi and Alabama, no beachfront property for you. But they never really pushed it because they were so busy in South America.
      Georgia also didn't have an official recognized western boundary. They could include everything until they hit the Pacific. Or French and Spanish colonies in the way.
      Though not legal, the people in Washington knew settlers would keep expanding west regardless of borders, so buying all of the Louisiana Territory was accepting the inevitable without having to fight for it. It also gave America some control over the people that moved there.

    Every wave of American expansion west beginning in the 18th Century had Irish and Scottish at the forefront because they were poor enough to be desperate, tough enough to survive harsh conditions, and eagar for opportunities to have land of their own. The very things that brought them across the ocean also drove them west.

      @@DianeJenningsIn 1494, Portugal signed a treaty with the Kingdom of Castile (along w Aragon, most of what would become Spain) to divide the non-European world between them. This Treaty of Tordesillas gave everything east of a line to Portugal and everything west to Spain. That’s why Cape Verde, the Azores, parts of Africa, Macao - and of course, Brazil - were colonized by Portugal, but the rest of South America and most of the Caribbean were colonized by Spain. And why Brazil is the one that speaks Portuguese whereas the rest of Latin America speaks Spanish.

    I value my thumbs the most. Without thumbs, it's hard to hold anything.
    This video gave a view from 10,000 feet. That is, only the biggest events, without much detail.
    Portuguese is still the official language of Brazil. It was Portugal's biggest colony.
    Lincoln didn't call for the complete banning of slavery until the Civil War was well along. His position when running for president was to stop the expansion of slavery, not to ban it where it already existed. He believed that, over time, slavery would die off if it weren't allowed in the newer parts of the country.
    The greatest contribution of the U.S. in World War II was materiel: weapons, ships, planes, transport vehicles, and the like. The U.S. was across two oceans from the main Axis powers, so was protected from bombing. This made it possible to keep supplying materiel while the factories of Germany and Japan were being damaged and destroyed.
    The modern Civil Rights Movement started in the fifties, not the sixties. Some important events included the Supreme Court decision to require integration of public schools in 1954 and the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955 and 1956.
    One thing to keep in mind regarding all the trading of and fighting over land is that there were people living there before the Europeans came in. The Louisiana Purchase did not have the approval or sanction of the Indians who were there first.
    The Lewis and Clark Expedition, which happened after the Louisiana Purchase, is a fascinating story. They led a team of explorers to find a navigable route to Oregon through the newly-purchased land. There were no maps and no roads, and they had no idea what they would encounter along the way. There are some pretty good documentaries on UA-cam about it.

    And you can also delve way deeper into the part about Texas joining the union. There are different versions of what happened. Texans per-se, who were Mexican citizens, wanted independence from Mexico, but needed more population. They invited "Americans" to move there, but the U.S. government had other ideas and rather than grant Texas it's independence, they just took it. And yes, I am being very brief as to all the political details.

    Interestingly enough the Nation's Capitol still has "Taxation without Representation" in that they have a single representative in the House of Representatives, but that rep has no vote in the chamber. So, while they can introduce legislation, and lobby other representatives on behalf of the citizens of Washington, DC, but can't vote on that legislation or any other bill.

    I think the history of the world and mankind is about who can control what territory. It can be boiled down to what family/clan/tribe/empire/nation can take the land and then keep it. That is why war is always with us.

    It's good to see a video that acknowledges that slavery existed outside of the United States. Nine out of ten videos that discuss slavery give the impression that slavery was exclusively an American thing when many European countries held slaves.

    My thumbs don't like to be called fingers, in fact they are quite opposed to it. I have tried to explain that is not what is meant by opposable thumbs. I don't think that they were listening in school whilst my brain head box was being educated. They are very cooperative and love to assist in writing things down, but they consider themselves to be in semi-retirement due to the prevalence of typing. I tried to teach them texting, to no avail, they ganged up with my fingers to present me a paper on RSI and said I would be hearing from their solicitor as that was not in their job description. Now they are on a "work to rule", I am all fingers and thumbs. Could you ask Chewie how he deals with obstreperous thumbs? I suspect he will tell you he made them redundant and declared them vestigial dew claws.

    It is somewhat more likely that Native Americans crossed from Asia by following the coastal route. Both North and South America were settled in fairly short order, not consistent with an entirely land travel method.

    This definitely is a “refresher”, but it is omitting or just gets wrong some things that it says or should have said. One example: Lincoln didn’t support ending slavery right when he entered office in 1861. He came to it gradually over the next 18 months, not making it happen until rumors of Britain & France intervening on behalf of the South/Confederacy. He knew they wouldn’t dare oppose the U. S. if we made the war about ending slavery as it would hurt their own reputations and be seen as hypocrites.
