It was likely Boyd Hill in Lafayette County. The Caddo know it as Chakaina or "the place of weeping". Freeman and Custis ascended it with a native guide to speak with Enicco, a Caddo deity. Apparently they brought a bottle of whisky, so maybe a spiritual conversation took place 😂

He believed in slavery, he was a Democrat.

If you say so, Rebel. Just joking, but yeah. Yank is definitely for northerners.

@@Mrpiggybank1964 lol actually you guys are much worse 😂

You took the words right out of my mouth

I used to work in Internet content review and you have no idea how right you are about good people not being able to fathom evil. A huge part of why there are always scandals about whats online, in my opinion, is that Internet companies never prepped for the evil because they couldnt understand how the Internet could be abused. Now theyre all playing catch-up

This is not hamas this was back during the cold war

@@selvaggiapizzetti897 I am aware, I was asking if now we can sue the companies supporting hamas

@@vision2g422I don’t think a fruit company is supporting hamas

@@selvaggiapizzetti897 i'm sure theres some

What I didn't have time to add was that Smedley Butler became a good guy in the end, foiling Big Business by blowing the whistle on the coup and making the rounds giving the "War is a racket" speech. New video will be incoming :)

@@FunSizeHistory The challenge of being a soldier is that you are supposed to follow orders &, in America, not go against the civilian leadership. Butler obviously became fed up with the policies he was ordered to implement.

Thanks for the comment and for watching!

Tickets are cheap!

Thanks for watching! At least when the Mayan gods demanded blood, the rulers didn't just depend on the common folk to sacrifice, but participated as well!

One of my favorite things about history is explaining what we experience today. Thanks for dropping the comment and the view!

Thanks so much for watching!

Much appreciated! Thanks for the view!

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much for the view! It is hard to stay motivated sometimes, but comments like yours give me life. I just have to keep trying 😁

Thanks for the question! I did some extra research and found this article by a local Lousiana historian: countryroadsmagazine.com/outdoors/knowing-nature/the-great-river-raft/ Shreve seems to have been quite inventive, registering quite a few patents. Beyond the ships with the big pulling mechanism to get the trees out, Shreve's ships had saw mills on board to transform the trees into usable lumber. Later in the era where they were using TNT to blow up the trees, presumably the explosions were strong enough to break up the trees into little pieces!

@@FunSizeHistory Pity he didn't think of using some to fill up Turnbull's Bend after digging his eponymous Cut, considering the stellar job those logs made of jamming the Red River, it would've likely spared the Army Corps of Engineers a lot of trouble down the line.

@@fabiomorandi3585 I agree! Seems that you're something of an expert on American geography and history

@@FunSizeHistory Not really, I was doing research for an alternate history map I'm making, stumbled upon this topic, and started to wonder if I could make a point of divergence out of it.

@@fabiomorandi3585 Love it!

I had the misfortune of being born in the United States where we butcher all pronunciations 😅

I have always had this question. Do the Balkans and Turkey have that particular Middle Eastern sound due to Arabic influence or was it actually Byzantine music that influenced the Arabs, Turkey and the Balkans? I need to collab with a musicologist!

@@FunSizeHistory its Byzantine music in most parts you can hear orthodox monastery hymns focusing mainly in chord changes and music parts complexity. 'Agni parthere despoina ' from simonos petra Athos. Is a typical hymn. Turkish banned rebetika because they sed was greek, greek did the opposite by fearing of mixing greek with Turkish cultural elements. Balkans like Serbs, some Bulgarians are Christian mainly orthodox so the basic hymn shapes and voices remained the same, only the words changed. Also in Russia a lot of hymns remained the same. Im not an expert but you can hear by ear if you are familiar with this kind of music which song part is which. Also you (can hear to kouki ths kokkinias ) the change is Byzantine the original singer sed it in an interview, he was also a church choir singer.

@@FunSizeHistory the musical scales of classical greece actually formed the basis for the roman and later arabic and turkish musical scales, so in actuality classical greek and roman music likely sounded alot more like the stereotypical "middle eastern" music you hear in hollywood films. Try listening to the byzantine musical scale, you'll notice it sounds like the "arabian" music in movies. This is more or less the same scale that byzantine and greek music was played in and then they influenced the Turkish and Arabic "makam" system, then the Turks influenced the Greeks to an extent so the scale that originated in classical Greece circled back on itself.

@@dewd9327 I keep hearing this, and this makes so much more sense. Like these scales got up as far as Ukraine and Southern Poland, more likely because of Byzantine influence vs Arabic influence

Thank you so much for this comment! I am glad you enjoyed, and felt the presentation was accurate. Just yesterday, I landed in İzmir (Smyrna), where many of the original migrants were from, and I am digging into the history here 😁

@@FunSizeHistory You are welcome. Around half of the population of Peiraeus originate from Asia Minor, yet they are not migrants, they were refugees. It's really different, because it effected their mudic. Prior to the genocide their songs were about love and every day life. After their coming to Greece the themes of their songs were about pain, poverty, midsing their lands. May be you should keep that in mind during your search.

Dziękuję Ci bardzo. Zaraz będą kolejne filmiki o moich odwiedzinach 😁

It was informative. I have friends in Cleveland and didn't know about the West Connecticut thing. Good job finding that info. Be well.

@@Francosmartcarb1 Thanks a mil!

Hi there, thanks for the view! I didn't eat pasteis de nata in Portugal (though I have tried them elsewhere). I will need to research their history, and you may have given me an idea for a new video :)

Thanks for watching! Glad to hear Germany enjoys some history too :)

Thank you so much! 1000 first and then, the moon!
