Brad,you are a hero of mine for embracing the late Paul Harvey and his "The Rest of the Story".
You have elected upon yourself to reach back in time and replay these wonderful radio shows as if they were originally aired and adding to them a bit after each one. Thank You Brad Dison for doing this so beautifully. Mr. Harvey would be honored. Thank You.
Thank you very much for the kind words. It certainly was a rocky start, but it's come a long way. I'm glad you're enjoying them. :)
I had no idea about that much info about Columbus. Thank you for all you do for us and your videos. Wonderful teaching Brad. chuckles
I'm glad you enjoy them and find them informative. I'm also glad you like my teaching style. I just never know what to do with my hands. My wife says I would be unable to talk if someone tied my hands behind my back. hahaha
@@BradDison No offence, my wife said basically the same thing. You couldn't talk without moving your hands, LOL. It doesn't bother me so who cares.
Columbus definitely deserves to be remembered. In fact, your "the rest of the story" of what happened to him in his later years should also be taught.
I agree completely. :)
We need to remember.
Absolutely. :)
He certainly has a place in our history 😀
Absolutely. :)
I've never been accused of keeping close track of current events. It's mostly trash news. And so, I didn't get the relationship between
Floyd and Columbus. 🤔
That said, I DID learn a ton of things regarding Mr. Columbus. So I thank you for that, Mr. Dison!
I'm very glad you enjoyed it and found it informative. I certainly enjoyed researching this one. :)
Columbus was a pioneer and should be remembered for his bravery. I believe the story about one of the only ships to survive the hurricane was filled with Columbus’s gold speaks about God's justice.
I agree completely. :)
Now Columbus is characterized and disrespected as a racist or whatever pejorative du jour.
Don't EVEN get me started on my feelings about Floyd rioter's (BLM), the looting, havoc, disrespect, destruction of properties, etc.
I have no respect for looters. :)
This shows that learning bits and pieces of the story means not knowing the whole story. Here are a few more bits and pieces to fit into the puzzle. Thank you, Brad. Edited to add: just bought your "Remember This" books!
You're exactly right. We, as a society (myself included), usually latch onto the headlines and know little of the facts. As John Adams said, "Facts are stubborn things." That's one of my favorite quotes. I hope you enjoy the books. Thank you for getting them. :)
That was sooo informative!
Thanks 😊
I'm very glad you enjoyed it. :)
Weather it’s Good or bad we need to remember our history. We need to learn it and learn from it. The truth is always the best way to go. We need to remember Columbus.
I agree completely. :)
I'd be content calling this the United States of Columbia. USC! Great video
Thank you very much. :)
History should never be erased. It’s what made us who we are today. Changing history erase our memories and make everything better
Sorry it doesn’t erase our memories and make things better in life. Computer glitch
I agree. :)
Of course ... remember him.
I agree completely. :)
In some ways, this story resembles present day... Perhaps we should be careful of "The Coming Hurricane"...
Yes we should. :)
One place where the people stood firm about the Columbus statue was NYC. The Italian Americans came out and protected the statue from the rioters and City Hall. Columbus Circle is a big city landmark.
That’s wonderful. I need to look that up. Thank you for letting me know about it. :)
A person much wiser than me said if we fail to learn our history we doom ourselves to repeat the mistakes of prior generations.
You’re exactly right. :)
@@BradDison thank you so much for your content. As a child i sat with my Grandfather and listened to Mr. Harvey. These bring back some very special and fond memories.
Sad!
It really is. :)
History is not erased, it may be papered over temporarily, as this video demonstrates.
And put those statues back.
I agree completely. :)
I say history always repeats, and only the players change.
That seems to be the case. :)
Timing is eary, 25 major hurricanes predicted this season and that's not to mention the metaphorical ones...
Shared this to my shadow banned community page 😅😇
I hope they pass us by. :)
Columbus's legacy is certainly complicated. And controversial.
His story was perhaps inflated out of ethnic Italian pride, since Columbus was often thought to be Genoese. I read a recent historian who thinks he was actually Catalan, and working under an alias.
He's sometimes been described as the only one among his contemporaries who realized the earth is round, but educated people since at least Hellenistic times have known the earth is round, and Eratosthenes got a good estimate of the earth's circumference in the third century BC. Columbus (reputedly) claimed the earth is actually much smaller, in order to claim a viable western route to the Indies.
The consequences of his discoveries were dramatic: Spain quickly built an empire by conquest, becoming very wealthy in the process. The natives living in the areas they claimed were mostly enslaved. Columbus had a role in that. Diseases brought from Europe decimated native populations, including populations who had no contact with the Spanish. It hardly seems fair to blame Columbus, or Europeans generally, for epidemics.
There's a lot more to Columbus, both good and bad, than can be encapsulated in a class for elementary schools. He doesn't seem a particularly American hero, any more than Cortez or Pizzaro. There may be better candidates for statues in American cities. But demolishing statues by vandalism is unworthy.
I agree. :)
I would not try to erase history.
I agree completely. :)
You can’t change history by taking down statues…the history of Columbus stays
I agree. :)
Christopher Columbus was led by God to the new world. It was time for us to begin the transition here.
I just wish that we could have good things stay good.
Me too. :)
Interesting story……..oh, you might wanna choose your words a bit more carefully…..Floyd was not murdered. 😐
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll have to listen to what I said again and recheck my sources. Thanks for pointing that out. :)
Put fake 20 dollars bills on a flag with George on the face 😢
