This is amazing!! As much as I’ve studied genealogy & history this is the first video to pull so much together in such a concise and easy to follow way 👏👏👏 thank you!
One thing that’s fascinating is to see the leftovers of French-Spanish-Native interaction through loan words. In Choctaw, the word shapo (hat) comes from chapeaux. Katos (cat) comes from Spanish gato. And the French bayou comes from Choctaw bok (river)
I'm enjoying these very much, especially the international context and the detailed timeline. My own area and timeline of interest are coming about 50 years after this video's timeline, but you began to touch on it with Ft. Orleans. I'll be looking forward to new information as you are able to share it.
I love watching your videos as I develop my family tree. They paint the larger context and help drive my research. Your style, voice and clarity are much appreciated. Thank you once again. Merci avec tout mon coeur, de Montréal, Québec.
Yes! I've also found this while trying to find some historical information with which to place some of my ancestors. I don't know if this truly answers my original question, but this is a great overview of everything going on on this side of the Atlantic during this time. Will have to see if the second installment is more what I am looking for.
You forgot to mention the Geat Peace of 1701 signed in Montreal between France and 39 Indian nations. This ended the wars that had been raging for over 50 years, allowed the French to expand inside the American continent, act as an arbiter between the natives and made them join an alliance against the English colonies.
He left out ALOT of shit, prob so he could keep the focus on religion. Didn’t even mention the piracy going on in the Caribbean between these 3…plus the Dutch.
love these videos! been checking back everyday after the 1565-1700 video. I forgot how much of a history nerd I am. keep up the good work! Setup a Subscribestar page.
Awesome video; one correction. Jonathan Edwards' "Sinners" speech was in Northampton MA and then later in Enfield CT. Not Enfield MA (which did not exist then, and does not exist now, but did exist for a few decades before being covered by Quabbin reservoir).
I’m impressed that you correctly distinguish between English and British, whereas so many other content makers use the terms English and British as though they mean the same thing. For example ‚Knowing Better’ refers to Jamestown as being founded by the British, and ‚Ravignon’ archaically refers to the English Crown when discussing a period after 1707. As a Scotsman the distinction is important to me.
Its crasy how they dont teach the fact that the slaves came to usa because the french were in the south and needed slaves to pick their tobacco aparently.
I’d really like to see a video in this style on the seven years war and how it extended from North America to the Caribbean and the Mediterranean. This is fascinating. Keep up the good work.
Like #523 I pre liked it and and commenting through the commercials. Jeffery, you make some of the best videos I have ever seen. Thank you brother. Keep on keeping on!!
Historians always seems to forget the French settlements in what is now southern Illinois... Cahokia was settled in 1699 (and is still there)... and Kaskaskia was settled in 1703 and, in the 19th century, became the first capital of the state of Illinois... etc. These "Pays des Illinois" settlements flourished, developing excess agricultural produce and lumber, which was then rafted down the river to support the newer settlement at New Orleans. And the French fort protecting the Pays des Illinois was: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_de_Chartres
About 90% of the info in this video.was unknown to me (the war of Jenkins' Ear? WOW!), and my mind is hungry for more more more. Keep these going, they are incredibly good. Edit: Subscribed!
Something that you didn't know is that Spain was the key factor for the win in The Revolutionary War. There is an article from The Massachusetts Society 'Sons of the American Revolution' ( SAR ) called ‘Spain and the Independence of The United States.’ And after reading the article it is not a surprise to know than the Spanish Commander Bernardo de Galvez has the same honour of be Honorary Citizeship of the United States like Laffayete…
Excellent. A wonderful comprehensive presentation of the critical milestones of the era. One nitpick: sometimes your voice loses volume at the end of a sentence and those last words are lost.
I really enjoyed this method of teaching. I was under the impression (From High School) that only British were in North America during this time frame. This has really opened my eyes. I would love to see an entire series on the history of the world in this style. In school we only learn about a small segment of history at a time, without ever considering what is going on elsewhere.
Wonderful video! One small correction - Yale was the fourth college or university founded in the English colonies of North America. King William's College in Annapolis, now St. John's College, was founded in 1696.
if it had been shown this way, I might've paid more attention way back in my school days. Now, shows like this, with good graphics, and tying dates together is the best way to remember them. Also, the new boom in genealogy is showing me I had ancient relatives involved in the early days described. Thanks.
I saw a program several years ago that said East and West Florida were part of the American Colonists at the time of the Revolution but did not fight in the Revolutionary War. As a result they were not considered part of the new country, i.e., not considered part of the original States. I believe they were given back to Spain since they didn't "earn" their freedom. Has anyone else heard of this?
This is the best map that I have ever seen simply explaining how the French, more than anyone else, was able to affect so much of America today with where they settled. It never occurred to me that they just also sailed right down the river too. Well done!
Natchitoches was head of the El Camino Real leading from a mission/fort called San Miguel de Cuellar de los Adaes. A Spanish fort of Los Adaes was eventually set up on the West Bank of Bayou Pierre (north of present day Robeline, La.).
Thank you!! As a huge Natchitoches fan, I jumped on here to mention this exact point!! I don't know how you attempt to summarize this era and somehow forget to mention Natchitoches and Los Adaes?!?! I visit there a couple times a year, and each time I learn more about the history of North America. (Plus, Natchitoches and Los Adaes offer a lot more neat things worth mentioning, instead of what the theater students were doing at William and Mary. Just sayin' 😉)
9:30 The natives should not have felt threatened. All they needed to do, was to embrace diversity, and open borders. We are all human, and the whole world belongs to all of us. Right?
Thanks! As a Canadian we were taught about French and British conflicts but for some reason only within the region that became Canada. This helps explain the rest of the story. BTW Detroit would have been pronounced de troi while it was still French.
I almost did not watch this. I am so glad I did! It was very informative. The content was delivered concisely with easy to understand, uncomplicated visuals. I went to your store. It needs help. Perhaps use AI to generate some better images for your products.
Thank you for watching the video. I am in the process of rebuilding my webpage, and then the store will come next. I know, I need more designs and stuff.
After 1750: The Spanish founded and settled Alta California. San Diego 1769 San Francisco 1774 Los Angeles 1781 Santa Barbara 1786 Remember a jaded history that is only a westward expansion. Didn't happen until 1849. But until then, there was light European settlement happening from the french moving eastward of the Mississippi. The Spanish northbound. There eventually even became a Russian fort in California. Coming from travel of the opposite side of the continent. With eventually Chinese arriving in the 1800's from the west coast. In building our railroads.
Imagine going back in time to the 1700s. The Virgin Forests and and the Splendor of the land. This is why a Grand Piano made with the Virgin Wood sounds so much richer then anything made today.
Great work on the videos. It's like a refresher course of what I forgot back in primary school education. Unfortunately, grade school history books are almost always written through the lens of Northeastern American scholars, and much like your videos, they seem to gloss over anything that didn't occur on the east coast. Topics like the El Camino Real, Natchitoches Louisiana (1714), Los Adaes, No Man's Land, gulf coastal region history, etc. are hardly ever mentioned or taught to young students. Having visited many historical areas throughout the nation, I've always found the tired old stories of the Mayflower, the founding of English universities, Jamestown, etc. to be important... but they are not nearly as interesting as the amazing, unfamiliar stories that surround places like Natchitoches Louisiana, Los Adaes, the El Camino Real, Mobile, No Man's Land, and people like Louis Juchereau de St. Denis. When you read about that side of history, it adds a lot more flair and excitement to the story (like tales of black market trading amongst the colonists/explorers of the different European empires in North America). 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷🇪🇸
Yes, england would never call our 1776 war the War of Independence, as we do. It was a loss for them. Although britain did have to break free from the vikings and others, so u would think they would have remembered and had more compassion on America. If they had, the colonists wouldnt have rebelled. (And we wouldnt be a free country today. So it worked out...)
Grade school history lessons are age appropriate and deal with concepts like discovery, settlement, goods, and nation-building. They are essential for laying a foundation. What you find enjoyable ... the nuances, the politics, and the cultural expansion ... are taught in later years.
Great content... Although I was disappointed that you failed to mention Fort Moore in South Carolina on the Savannah River. Settlements were established as early as 1685 and in 1716 , Fort Moore was built on the bluff of the Savannah River in present day Beech Island. This was the southernmost reach of the British Colonies. And served as the "buffer" between the French, Spanish and several Native American nations some 20 to 50 years before Augusta was established. ( Settlement of New Winsor - 1685, Fort Moore - 1716, Augusta - 1735 ) Before Georgia was established this area was a major trade route. First the fur trade, then used by plantation owners. this was such an important and strategic area because it could be accessed by land and water, the Savannah River. The area was known as Savano (Savannah) Town because it was occupied by the Savano Indians which would give the river its name and the future settlement of Savannah.
Love this !! I have watched the first 2 bideos but now I can't find the next video. It would help if the years are in the titles as you did in the first 2 videos. Or create a playlist that has them all in sequence. Thanks
The following videos are also colonial period: The French and Indian War Period, 1750-1763 and then Revolutionary Stirrings, 1763-1775. There is also a George Washington/Fort Necessity Video (1753-1755), as well as a Stamp Act (1765) and Proclamation of 1763.
I'm from Michigan and did not know that St Ignace was the first Colony in our Territory/State...!! I really enjoy learning, and I'm fascinated by Pre-Colonial & Early Colonial history... This is an interesting series of 'Fact Oriented' information...Thanks for presenting a seemingly 'Neutral' version of our history, without an alternative agenda or placing blame or judgements.
Under the Treaty of Utrecht, Britain believed it had acquired all of old Acadia with the exception of the islands (primarily Cape Breton Island) in the Gulf of St Lawrence. In reality it acquired only peninsular Nova Scotia. The French continued to effectively control the lands that make up present day New Brunswick and Maine to the Kennebec River. France and Britain argued over the boundary throughout the first half of the eighteenth-century and it was only settled by France's defeat in North America during the Seven Years War.
@@JeffreytheLibrarian I work at the National Archives in DC. If you ever want to come do a lecture for students or maybe the public; I’m sure I could set you up with one:
a bit disappointed saybrook fort/colony wasnt mentioned in the previous video as well as this one. Found it because funny you then had to gloss over the fact that yale wasn't founded in new haven but actually saybrook.
Not really glossed over. Just that Saybrook was not a hospitable town and Yale was only there the 1st 15 yrs. Then moved to New Haven, where it has been ever since. Yale was Christian and turned out amazing men, signers of the Constitution, Noah Webster, etc. until the last few decades, when it became woke and lost its way.
Thanks Jeffrey the Librarian. I am very much enjoying your American history content and hope you will continue.
Thank you so much for your contribution! Your contribution helps make this work possible.
I love these series on early North America. Keep up the good work!

Thank you, friend! Much appreciated!
i wish the internet was available when i was in school .all those years ago
We are waiting for the next 1750 to 1800s and the rest......perfect Job
One thing that’s fascinating is to see the leftovers of French-Spanish-Native interaction through loan words. In Choctaw, the word shapo (hat) comes from chapeaux. Katos (cat) comes from Spanish gato. And the French bayou comes from Choctaw bok (river)
Keep producing awesome, easy to follow descriptions of history. Appreciate you helping us travel.
Thanks for watching! Happy travels.
Love it! Just watched the video to 1700 last week .. so I didn’t have to wait long. Thank you thank you!

C'est vrai!
He left out ALOT of shit, prob so he could keep the focus on religion. Didn’t even mention the piracy going on in the Caribbean between these 3…plus the Dutch.

I studied in Scotland for a summer and learned very clearly that this was an important distinction.
@@JeffreytheLibrarianI did summer classes at Stirling University. May I ask where you studied? Really enjoy your content

As a retired educator this endeavor was very didactic and well presented congrats. Thank you!

@@JeffreytheLibrarian I dare say us Welsh might get a mention sometime?
Yeah it is to me as an English man, sick of hearing Britain this and UK that, and it's mostly the British saying it.
Great content. A couple of small typos on the picture captions: Wattou = Watteau; Hogart = Hogarth
Thanks for catching those!
Great content. Quite interesting.
I have never seen such a concise video of North American colonization. Thanks.

Just attended a creole concert and they shared their stories of History. Carondelet area in St Louis was once a french city.
And he didn't mention the first European settlement West of the Mississippi by the French at St.Genevieve, Missouri in 1740. A very historic landmsrk.
I love your videos I was waiting on this one.

Live on cape breton Island, st anns Bay. So much history its too bad only the victors story mostly survived
9:30 The natives should not have felt threatened. All they needed to do, was to embrace diversity, and open borders. We are all human, and the whole world belongs to all of us. Right?
You can tell he is a lefty with his fixation on who owned slaves.
Very good. Thanks. 🙂
Thank you so much for the video presentation.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks! As a Canadian we were taught about French and British conflicts but for some reason only within the region that became Canada. This helps explain the rest of the story. BTW Detroit would have been pronounced de troi while it was still French.
I think it's normal for schools to keep the history within their own country. Canada is a beautiful country. I love Niagara-on-the-Lake.

At approximately 14:10 you say, “There are now 13 British colonies in North America.” What about Acadia?
After 1750:
The Spanish founded and settled Alta California.
San Diego 1769
San Francisco 1774
Los Angeles 1781
Santa Barbara 1786

For the colleges he mentions Harvard, Yale, and William & Mary however I know St John’s was established aswell in 1696 if I’m not mistaken.
