@Run, Jack. Run. What is a J.O.B.? Did you mean job? Is working your life away to build someone elses dreams cracking your fragile eggshell? Im coming to realise thats its important to have people like you and jobs. Keeps the world turning. Just stop being so angry at people like me that dont want your money - just our absolute freedom.
Unusual ending! This story touches my heart in a way I wasn't expecting; in the next room, my grandson, of mixed race, is playing X-Box on his last day of Winter Break. I'm thinking about the accidents of time and birth that mean he will have a chance at a life that Abraham Galloway (and millions more) couldn't fathom, and that I would not have been able to provide for him, were we transported back in time. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Perhaps our failures as a nation was that we did not truly hold those truths to be self-evident. May we hold them thus today. Peace be on your household.
Wonderful. I never would have known about this great man. Imagine what he could have accomplished if he'd lived to his elder years. In only 33 years he accomplished many times as much as many do in their full lives. Thank you for bringing his story to a wider audience.
I appreciate your videos pertaining to often overlooked African-American history that deserves to be remembered during Black History Month. Your channel is one of the finest on UA-cam. Thanks once again for your objective and insightful content! If all history teachers were as gifted as you at providing engaging lessons, America would be better for it. Please keep up the outstanding work!
The folly of underestimating those whom were considered a tool, like a rented mule, is history that deserves to be remembered. Thank you for teaching me about a man I had never known existed.
When you look at people like Martin Luther King Jr you realise that one of the reasons they stand so tall is because they are stood on the shoulders of others, such as Galloway. This is not to detract from what Martin Luther King did, but it does show that the path people like him followed was one that others had also walked.
Being a history buff, I feel blessed to have found this channel a couple of years ago. Being an American of African descent, it has been wonderful to have learned about Abraham Galloway and Jesse L. Brown, neither of whom I’d heard of before this month. I found out about Brown from another source, but you filled in the details; Galloway I learned of just now via this channel. Home run History Guy! Thank you.
There is Black History Month which more and more seems to be a celebration of just one or two historically almost over-noticed modern civil rights era Black Americans and a whole litany of Black athletes who do not know any history PRIOR to the modern civil rights era. It takes The History Guy to, more than "celebrate" a truly notable Black American, but to literally educate about, as he so aptly puts it, History the Deserves to be Remembered.
Over the past 20 years I've noticed that the civil rights movement has been short changed in how it's taught as well. Just MLK, and a few events are talked about now. Not the large number of patchwork organizations, and individuals, of a divers background, that worked together for a cause. Then in part unraveled in the mid/late 70s.

@@TheHistoryGuyChannel Please cover the history of the Métis. While Canada has recognized us, we are still second class citizens here in the United States. Since Donald Trump was elected we are hated even more by his ignorant MAGA Hatters. My favorite was being told to "deport yourself" by one, as should I take a boat to Europe or walk across Beringia ???
I grew up around Lowell Mass. where Ben Butler lived . We knew he was a Civil War general but never learned about his connection with Abraham Galloway. Thanks for elightening me as to the background of history that gets lost along the way. General Butler had a mansion in Lowell that some people tried to save as it was abandoned and getting run down in the 1970s. The city didn't have the funds and it was sold and razed for new houses.
Another great story HG. I'm sure that if Mr. Galloway had lived a full life, he may have been the cornerstone of many positive changes for the minorities of his time. It's too bad that he did not get a chance to see his dreams come true.
So much of the history that is taught in schools is just rudimentary, and does not capture the imagination of students. I was one, but I came to love it in college. Thanks, THG, for making history more relate-able and sharing your love of history. Godspeed.
What a guy. The only fitting monument to his dynamics would be to have an airfleet carrier named after him. I am grateful to come to know this man's name and meaning from oblivion. Thank you, mr. History Guy.
Thank you for reminding us of things that so many have forgotten ! This man really should have been remembered for his merit of helping his people ! Thank you again !
Thank you so much for providing accurate and non biased real history, especially for this particular era of forgotten heros. I have always try to find the less popular but just as important black or white people in this era in history that made a positive difference for the poor, oppressed , native Americans or blacks. Thank you.
Here’s yet another American hero who’s story has been obscured by prejudice and the passage of time. Thank you for bring the contributions of Abraham Galloway to light. Please tell me that the fact that he stowed away on a ship doesn’t mean that he was a pirate.
I encourage any young person who sees this to use and some research to present a presentation on this heroic man's life. He surely deserves to be remembered.
I'm just finding this channel and I love it! I appreciate the way you're talking about this great man's life without mythologizing or otherizing his story. So much of our discourse fails to have this level of tact and perspective, especially on Black issues. Thank you for an amazing video!
One aspect of the slave trade that is often forgotten is that slavery was practiced by all West African Kingdoms. The majority of slaves were victims of internecine warfare. Europeans industrialised the process. West African kingdoms were mostly only subject to Imperial colonisation after the advent of the repeating rifle and breech loading artillery. Thank you THG.
Just a brilliant exposition of what I was never taught in any school. The legacy of commitment to equal rights for blacks at peril of death (and women which my mother and wife have experienced first hand), can not be understated. Black contributions to every major conflict simply can not be underestimated - but are clearly STILL kept under the radar of the the average citizen. Thank you!!!!
Wow. What a way to start my Friday morning. Absolutely amazing stuff. The courage and intelligence that man showed in the face of savage racism white supremacy is simple astonishing. A true hero and real American.
Thanks for this, THG! What an amazing champion for equality and humanity. I'm only saddened that in my 60+ years, I had never heard of him before. The fact that he did all of this before dying at age 33 makes me feel like a grossly inadequate human being.
Dear History Guy: I subscribe to a lot of YT channels. I enjoy all of them. But yours is, BY FAR, the best one. And the highest quality. I hope that you get as much enjoyment (and a few bucks) out of making them as I do out of viewing them. Please keep up the fantastic work! Merry Christmas, 2021.
Brilliant - what a shame the poor chap died. Who knows what he would have accomplished if he’d survived to old age. Some people are truly awe inspiring. Thanks for bringing him to our attention
13:10 Supposedly it was Oleander or arsenic was used to poison him. There was other people in his inner circle who died or was sickened near death. They did a cursory autopsy with the smell of almonds
I wonder what an autopsy today would turn up. Of course there is no value in doing one except possibly for historical purposes because anyone that could be accused of murder, if murder was discovered, is also quite dead.

I love spy stories. Mom and dad were spies overseas for a certain information association. Dad was never outed or found out in his 34 years. He was also a gurilla warfare instructor and leader in many of the small, unknown brush wars from 1950 onward. Ha! When translating for some of Lao and Hmong refugees that came over as Boat People, I heard about dear old dad's exploits in the Laotian Civil War, which he was first involved in from 1954 until 1971. I never met a braver man nor a kinder, gentler man than my dad. He and mom are buried in Arlington.
Wonderful episode. This man was a hero and an integral part of both the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement. I mean, technically, the Civil Rights Movement was the 1950's and 60's, but still, he mattered as a forefather to it. A hero. I should've heard about him before.
I've made one too many comments. On this one but a while back on UA-cam they said if you could be on an elevator with anybody. Who would it be? I said Benjamin Franklin. I've changed my mind. I like this guy. I would like to be in an elevator with him. He was a badass. A true American Hero🇺🇸🦅
This is a great story about a remarkable person. Somehow this story is more relevant now than ever before. Please do what you can to gain it more publicity. Thank you.
Excellent. How is this not a movie already? This dude personally sacrificed and risked a lot more than Lincoln. John Browns Dream and the devil was dead.
I'm not surprised the union had free blacks as spies. This was a great upload! Fun fact: native Hawaiians (kanaka maoli) fought on both sides of the civil war. If you go to some of cemeteries, especially the one on nuuanu in Honolulu, have grave markers that state that
I spent some time in New Bern, North Carolina, 40 some odd years ago. I learned that the locals pronounced it as one word, NewBern, rather than as two distinct words. An outsider's pronunciation of that and a few other place names in North Carolina made people smile at me before they corrected me.
@@MtnTow You missed the point kid, history like this isn't being taught in our public schools. It's painfully obvious it isn't being taught where you went either, or you just flunked out of kindergarten and never went back to find out.
Excellent story. Another worthy contender for one of your videos could be William Edward Hall, a former slave who won the Victoria Cross while serving in the Royal Navy. Keep up the great work!
Thanks again THG, for introducing us to a great but obscure man like Abraham Galloway; who should always have been revered for what he contributed to our way of life.
A story that kind of ties in to this is The Wilmington Racial Massacre of 1898. It is the only successful coup d’tat in U.S. history. It is history that deserves to be remembered.
Excellent One should note that few Union Doctors would treat Black soldiers who helped North fight . It was not just the South who held evil racist beliefs. Then we have the trail of tears incident.
I particularly enjoyed this episode about a fellow North Carolinian who did so much to help others. He was a great American and I am proud to have grown up in the same areas as he: Raleigh, Wilmington and Seymour Johnson Air Force Base (near Smithfield). Unfortunately, at the end of the Reconstruction Era, Wilmington, NC became the location of the only coup d'état in U.S. History.
History Guy I love how you bring history to life. There is a little know story out of WW2 I am hoping you will cover. It is of 4 Chaplains that gave their lives in service to their country. I came across it while researching the Medal of Honor. Their story and the Medal they where awarded is known as The Four Chaplains Medal. Thank you.
THANK YOU HISTORY GUY!!! I’m glad I found you!!! Suggestions of topics I’m interested in: advancements in garments/fabric/sewing techniques that changed history. History of garment modesty (as point of fact, not pro or con) More women inventors, scientists... maybe 2 in 5 videos???
This isn’t just black history- it’s OUR history. It’s people like him that have made this country great.
Sad part of our history, but we fought a war to end slavery. We should remember and also forgive ourselves
