As a white american who isn't able to trace my history without giving away DNA to a business, but assume it's German (probably mid-19th century immigration) based on where my family seems to have found itself comfortable (I'm from one of the few thousand towns which claims to have the most bars per sq. foot as though that's an accomplishment, while not being a town that's Cathlo-centric -- it's still Christo-centric, don't get me wrong, however starting with my single mother we've been non-religious simply because it isn't of use to us) while working various common labor jobs (cobbler is first occupation I know of... and that's only 80 years back, my great-grandfather, who had a King James nowhere-close-to-1st-edition bible that I don't believe was ever opened by anyone based on the crispy, pristine strange smelling gold painting on the exposed page edges), think you two are doing something great. Very happy to see you are still uploading as well, and hope your videos end up getting the attention this narrative deserves (your guys' demeanors, to me, are perfect -- especially for this subject). I'm watching your video in part of my learning journey and hope to join in helping (not your channel lol, not on some stalker shtuff) in the future once I've started to piece a solid foundation of this history puzzle together, specifically the assigning of Consuls (who are Spaniard government career types) that then transfer their 'power' to a Marquess/Marquis (who are prevalent Spanish-born business types) that has been installed under the Consul -- very intentionally entrenching them in the foreign political socioeconomic-sphere in a subversive manner, and if that didn't work then in an overt strong-armed way -- to domains. These end up being the people who, as merchants & pseudo-but-very-real government figures that are washed from general history but whose legacy carries on in a very real way within their family (as most still profit from and live on the very land that was stolen), go on to quash thought, understanding, revolutions, nature,... you name it. I've found all wiki pages of these people (the 1st marquis/marquess of lands), thus far, marked as needing checked for their lack of citations, for obvious biases, etc.. For instance, here's a fella I had up before taking a break and looking up vids: "Joaquín de la Pezuela, 1st Marquess of Viluma". These people's descendants are, you guess it, still in power. Have you ever looked up "John William Friso, Prince of Orange" genealogy and where his descendants have ended up? Mind blowing how little time it takes to look at a genealogy like his and what it teaches about the world compared to most's' schooling on history. Here's his condensed genealogy: i.redd.it/8ct984dlyvl71.png (not made by me). Through constant map recreation, massacring natives and disenfranchised populations whose oral stories & records were either manipulated or done away with, along with the creation of physical records in varying languages that purposefully tell varying stories/info (even going so far as using the Spanish/French version of a first name's first initial in combination with using the first initial of the English version of the middle or surname; i.e. rather than G.W. for George Washington somewhere along the family they've changed it to Jorge Washington and George is ever only remembered as "J. Washington" then eventually just "J.W.", etc.), history has been more deeply obfuscated than I've ever imagined. Thanks fellas and take care.
I really like where you mention "we should talk about him, but not celebrate him." This is true with so much of history that is "gritty".
