Growth, Cities, and Immigration: Crash Course US History #25

- čas přidán 7. 06. 2024
- In which John Green teaches you about the massive immigration to the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Immigrants flocked to the US from all over the world in this time period. Millions of Europeans moved to the US where they drove the growth of cities and manned the rapid industrialization that was taking place. In the western US many, many Chinese immigrants arrived to work on the railroad and in mines. As is often the case in the United States, the people who already lived in the US reacted kind of badly to this flood of immigrants. Some legislators tried to stem the flow of new arrivals, with mixed success. Grover Cleveland vetoed a general ban on immigration, but the leadership at the time did manage to get together to pass an anti-Chinese immigration law. Immigrants did win some important Supreme Court decisions upholding their rights, but in many ways, immigrants were treated as second-class citizens. At the same time, the country was rapidly urbanizing. Cities were growing rapidly and industrial technology was developing new wonders all the time. John will cover all this upheaval and change, and hearken back to a time when racial profiling did in fact boil down to analyzing the side of someone's face.

As America industrialized further and manufacturing grew, a rush of new immigrants came to America seeking job opportunities: www.commonlit.org/texts/the-r...
Immigrants often entered through New York's Ellis Island where the Statue of Liberty bore the iconic phrase "Give me your tired, your poor,": www.commonlit.org/texts/the-n...
Immigrants experienced culture shock and hard living conditions during this time, as documented in later memoirs such as "America and I": www.commonlit.org/texts/ameri...

i can always tell when the video is ending bc he becomes more serious and his voice seems to get deeper lol
cause he always ends up talking about the consequences of all the events and there are no pictures appearing any more :P
The red part of the bar at the bottom of the video fills up most of its width?
You mean the rainbow bar?
Mah boi c:
what kpop group is that? lol
Day 20 im still trying to convince myself that this guy is the author of Our Fault In The Star
+Courtney Horny Our fault in the star? Really? The fault in our stars, and presumably from this comment you have read it, and i have not.
gmansplit lmao u get the idea.
He is
@@gmansplit *communism intensifies*
He reads a script. I half doubt he is actually this knowledgeable real life.
Thnx John Green for saving my life on an AP exam for the second time in two consecutive years
much obliged
Saved my APWH and APUSH grade😂

Lululipes Then there’s the guy that was watching them because how else would they know this😂🤣

That's crazy! 0_0
Whoa... weird indeed :/

Eh, Nebraskans are like Canadians; We're just happy you mentioned us!
Eh?
They also come from the country of Canadia
Aramis Whitehead canadia.... -_-
Yes. Canadia.
Aramis Whitehead Sounds like the kind of place you'd expect to find in the back of a wardrobe. For Canadia!
Thought Bubble still ended on a downer, because alcohol is a depressant. Ha.
It's a solution according to Chemistry ;)
He said besides the acoholism
This series and Ed Wallace's "Backside of American History" are two of my favorite mediums for learning more about our country. Please continue this wonderful work.
Having just discovered crashcourse a few days ago I've got to say its one of the best youtube series I have seen. Very entertaining and also really informative.
I just connected that you are the author of The Fault in Our Stars etc! thanks not only for all of your history help but for writing great books :)
Thank you so much John. I am already good at social studies and all, but even when I have nothing to do I always watch your videos. And your videos aren't just educational, you also make it entertaining too. Which is why even though I'm not learning this in SS, I still want to watch it. You're just that good at making videos. Also, please tell the Thought Bubble team that the way they portray everything that's happening is just phenomenal.
Keep making these great videos!!!
I would like to thank John Green and all the people at Crash Course for laying out the geography of New York City's five boroughs for me. I never knew anything besides the shape of Manhattan, and now I feel ten times smarter.
dang, john hasnt not worn shoes for a video in a while. good on you for being chill while teaching us american history my dood
These are so fun to watch, I don't even have a history class this semester.
I never thought I'd be looking forward to watching academic related content after I was out of the school system, but your videos will always be a joy to watch. You make the educational fun to learn like no other.
man I wish your videos were around when I was in high school. Even though I still did well in history classes, (and pretty much only history classes,) it would have made things more interesting.and easier to retain information. thanks for the work you're doing!
I'm wondering if you would consider doing a Pan-American history series: Pre-Columbian history Latin American history, Caribbean history, Canadian history, etc. While US history gets a lot of attention, I feel like many have trouble seeing how US history fits into the larger story of the Americas. I've petitioned for Pre-Columbian history before but I realize it's more niche history. This is a way to keep the broad scope necessary for a large channel while exploring new territory
Every new CC video makes the rest of the week look like it went by so fast, which means more history!
Fellow AP US History crammers, this part is definitely important.
I love the Castle in the sky easter egg. It's some random. It's my favorite movie of all time.
Chicago had ALSO the first 'technical' skyscraper, the first building to reach 10 Floors, each occupation with a floor
Thank you for helping me with my AP US History Essays, Mr.Green.
I have finally found a reason to watch endless CZcams videos, because I'm learning and I love it.
John, love the lessons. Good work. A small point I'd like to make is that the "Irish Potato Famine" was not a potato famine. Ireland is an island, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, which was teaming with fish, it has fertile plains for both cropping and livestock production. So why was there a famine?? Because Ireland was occupied by the British - who at this time in an effort to feed their armies and expand their empire took:
1845 -3,251,907 quarters (8 bushels=1 quarter) of corn exported from Ireland to England
1845 - 257,257 sheep exported to Britain
1846 - 480,827 swine exported to Britain
1846 - 186,383 0xen exported to England
1847 - 4,000 ships carrying peas, beans, rabbits, salmon, honey and potatoes left Ireland for English ports
1847 - 9,992 Irish cattle sent to England
1847 - 4,000 Horses and Ponies sent to England
1847 - Approximately 1,000,000 gallons of butter sent to England
1847 - Approximately 1,700,000 gallons of grain derived alcohal sent to England
1847 - 400,000 Irish people died due to starvation
The Potato was the tip of the iceberg...
They had it coming.
+david mcgrath Yup, the goddamn Corn Law is probably the most sinister driving force of that very famine.
ZapLJ Whoooooaooaooaoaooaoaoaoaoaoaooooaooaoaoaaoaoaoaoaoa. That's not cool
Everyone did.

Nice Alex Grey artwork nod in the Mystery Document :)

As a descendant of Italian immigrants your are welcome for pizza.
Thank you, oh dear lord, bless you.
i thought you're going to hate what they did to your national cuisine.
I am also a descendant and I hate how dominos and pizza hut ruined real italian pizza. PEOPLE go to Papa Ginos it is MUCH BETTER!!!
You're not your

Your soul is only yours when you're out of the house? You've just described school to me.
That Tool reference in the Mystery Document. I love prog so much.
Canadian History should be part of a broader Crash Course series on the British Empire
I will be using your videos in the classrooms.
Tool reference at 9:05 caught me off guard in the best way haha
The Primer reference was completely obscure, and awesome!
crash course- you guys are the best! love the videos keep it up! thanks
4:17 GANGS OF NEW YORK!!! such a good movie.
haha missed that Bill The Butcher
WHOO! Shout-out to fellow descendants of Irish immigrants!
cool video, really interesting
Great episode, thank you.
"...and strange habits - like regular bathing."
I love this guy.
Who else is watching this in preparation for the AP test on Friday?
STFU
Emily Netherton my life
Emily Netherton okay but like.. what did you get lol
Midterms for me
loved the presentation funny and informative thankx
I wasn't sure about this series in the beginning but it's developed quite nicely.
Y'all see Daniel Day-Lewis in the Thought Bubble?
+Zane Millecchia HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA DARN I JUST WATCHED THAT MOVIE
+Nipun Talwar Why do you not just look it up en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Day-Lewis
John, Mary Antin is more famous than you give her credit for. I distinctly remember taking a freshman level college history course where we had to read her writings and learn her history.
Yay! I finally caught up on with crash course!
I would pay for more detailed, longer versions of some of these topics.
As an Argentinian, I must, yes, MUST congratulate you people at Crash Course for that great awareness of Argentina`s situation by the late 19th century at 8:11 . Basically, half of the territory was owned by natives (Like the Tehuelches) who lived freely in those lands, which were called "National Territories". Various measures were tried in order to coexist with the natives, like the infamous "Alsina`s Ditch" witch separated lower Buenos Aires (The State) from those lands, which failed.
John Green has taught me more than my teachers have
Stressed AF before I saw this. Thank you.
i watch this video in school it helped me a lot
(sees entire video)
Huh, not too different from the present day then.
Anti-immigration rants? Check.
Politics over poverty? Check.
Messed up city design? Check.
Land of opportunity beckons? Biggest check of them all.
Welcome to the United States.
Herald of Chaos One difference is that the U.S. was not yet a welfare state, so the early immigrants such as the Irish/Germans had to actually work. Hell, the Irish signed up for the Union army in mass right when they got off the boats and went right to war. Now those are some good immigrants.
Collin Well, no state welfare, sure. But the Churches of that time (with varying levels of commitment, admittedly) were there to fulfil that niche.
Today? Not so much. That said, you are right to some extent. But it is also important to remember that while some things aren't so different from back then, the social and economic climate of those days was radically different from the modern day. So some divergence is present.

FirstName LastName modem day immigrants do work, harder than ever actually
3:23 Your Cubs joke is nkw invalid John.
Karandeep Singh did I ask
Ricky 555 Did I tell you?
Big Guy Get rekt haha
YOU make history fun and interesting. I watch you often. I hope you are making good advertising money.
I love the inclusion of Daniel Day Lewis' character from "Gangs of New York" in the background at 4:18. BRILLIANT haha
I took a History of Japan and Korea course which, aside from being fascinating and including a great deal of Chinese history, emphasized this need. People forget that East Asian civilizations had a parallel history just as powerful and fascinating as Western history, and which contributed to the latter for thousands of years.
Watching a whole bunch of these to prepare for finals
I love how only 2 people picked up on the Primer reference lol Kudos to you for being observant and watching a movie that I think is safe to say that NOBODY understands, but still loves :)
The first time I drove from Illinois to Colorado, my friend who had done it before gave me only one piece of advice: don't let Nebraska get you down. It feels like time slows down in Nebraska and you spend an eternity driving past the same corn field again and again and again.
I'm finally learning American History! I'm 31 years old and I'm finally learning it! Yall don't know how excited all this makes me.
I saw the Butcher from Gangs of New York at 4:20
You should consider doing a Crash Course on people you find interesting throughout the past years, especially since you had mentioned in past videos and in part in Looking for Alaska that biographies fascinated you.
Crash course is so thorough about American history. Can you do the same with other countries, please?
I'm from Argentina, and 90% of us descend from Italian and Spanish immigrants, but also from other European immigrants such as German, French, Russian, etc. After the US, Argentina received the largest number of migrants from Europe, surpassing Canada, Brazil and any other nation in the Americas. Yet many people in the US keep thinking their country was unique because of this.
Also, slavery was abolished in my country in 1813 (and it didn't require a civil war), whereas black people were officialy granted freedom in the US after the Civil War ended in 1865. Yet Americans refer to their country as "the land of the free" or say things like their president is the "leader of the free world". They should really try learning something about the rest of the world, you know...
I'm British and I agree
luuchoo G Well the US has received immigration waves throughout its history, not just on the turn of the 20th century. Even today, more than 100k per year.
And Obama did succeed in peace treaty with Iran, and I didnt see any other president try to do that.
Eduardo Juarez Every decent country receives immigrants from poor countries. My country, Argentina, has dozens of millions of starving migrants from Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru, Colombia, etc.
And it's the US that has troubled diplomatic relations with Iran, not the whole world. So you will obviously not see every president trying to do that.
luuchoo G That's not true. In the 1920s France became the world's largest immigrant country surpassing the USA and having immigrants coming from Chile, USA, Lots of European countries, Vietnam, China, African countries and more.
Immigration to France started in the 1820s because France was a land of liberty and freedoms and was one of the only Republics in the world.
Besides foreign immigrants, lots of immigrants came from colonies but were not considered immigrants since they were part of the empire.
The Americans who immigrated to France were mostly blacks, but in the 20s, lots of white immigrants came because of prohibition.
I'd say the biggest immigration destinations back in the early 1900s were France, USA, Canada, UK & Argentina. Most immigrants came to France since it was one of the first industrliased nations along with the UK and soon after the USA.
Most of the French people who came to Argentina came because of small colonies created by French.
O7 So what? I never said anything about France, pal. Go read my comment again. I was talking about immigrants to the Americas (which is, as I assume you might already know, not the continent where France is located)
I spotted something really f**ing awesome. at 04:07, there is what looks like a floating castle. I have no doubt that that castle is Laputa from the great anime move "Castle in the Sky" by Hayao Miyazaki. I wonder in importance of this specific referance, espeshaly how, if I am not mistaken, the culter and "tenological stylings" of both the movie and the time perios being discused are very simmular.
I am amazed be the breath and depth of cultural references and cameos in this channel.
I am amazed by the lack of grammar and spelling in that paragraph.

Can you make these available as an audio podcast? I've already converted them to mp3 but I would be willing to purchase Crash Course World History to support you guys.
The history of Canada next please, Crash Course!
I notice he hasn't offended Iowans yet. Sigh. We Iowans never get the publicity.
Henry P-S Except in November!!!😂😂
Henry P-S As a Missourian I notice you, you’re the small state north of us that has only slightly more people than my cities metropolitan population
We get plenty of recognition during election years. And most of that recognition is people asking "Why are we recognizing Iowa?"
Maybe 'cause Des Moines is insurance haven, or at least that's what I heard,@@Atlas-pn6jv, speaking as an Iowan who lived there for about ten years.
Other than that, not too much noteworthy. American Gothic? Slipknot? Ten Grand? Ruthies? Apples! Just cornfields, like potatos to Idaho
Owen Karas film of USA city in ww1
Crash Course, could you guys do Chinese history when the US history series is done? The one episode from world history was not nearly enough in your own words. Such a foreign history was never even available at my university for study, and I hunger to know more. Besides, think of all the opportunities to mention those exceptional Mongols!
Hi John Green and Crash Course team!
Is there any way you could give us the script of the video? I guessed it might be written somewhere, and I need it as I would like to use this video for my English oral of the Baccalauréat (French equivalent of A Levels and SATs)
I would love to have the real script instead of the weird youtube transcript that doesn't seem to be really accurate, if it is no trouble for you of course!
Thanks a lot!
Would it be possible for this show to publish a bibliography for each episode? I'd really like to do more in depth reading with some of this.
Anyone else notice the little girl holding a Pedobear doll at 4:12?
So Pedobear is Irish... muthagawd
Cannot unsee. o_O
I did XD
Come on John. Steven Cleveland? You would not have called yourself that.
Well said sir
Virgile Earp's land clam in the beginning. Nice.

Tool and Primer references? AWESOME
YES! A soccer reference. Leo Messi ma boi.
They told us Edison invented everything around here. Except the automobile. They tell us Henry Ford invented that. -stan
Why is John never wearing shoes? haha love this! Saves my life!
Subtitles in the last videos were really helpful.
anyone taking the AP US Exam?
sameeee
*writes down everything he just said*
*fineshes history project*
As an Iowan, I am only delighted by your belittling of Nebraska.
Hurray! I had a feeling that you would reference one of my favorite films in this episode (04:12) but you referenced two of them! (01:20)
My American History II homework? watch this video and answer 4 questions... my teacher is awesome!
YO SAAAAMMME!!!

I wrote a play about the Irish Potatoe Famine in high school.
"Hey, Seamous, ya got any potatoes?"
"No, sorry Finn, I don't."
"oh, ok, sorry for botherin' ya."
Great video John Green :)
Loved the Gangs of New York reference at 4:18 with Bill the Butcher :D
NE resident here, giggling at the callout. 😆 “Nebraska, it’s not for everyone.”
FIRST ONE TO WATCH THIS AFTER THE CUBS 2016 WORLD SERIES WIN
Aidan Johnson yay...
Awesome video! In the lead up to the impending industrialized wars of the early 20th century, it is relevant to define the growth and changes you touch upon as cultural and philosophical Modernism.
one of my favorites!!
Anyone here because your teacher assigned this video on google classrooms?
SAVE STAN AND DANICA AND RAOUL AND MEREDITH AND THE OTHER CRASH COURSE PEOPLE
I need my dose of Crash Course!
Yeah, new episode!
3:25 OMG!!!!!!!!!!
Immigration then: “OMG THE CATHOLICS AND JEWS ARE GOING TO DESTROY OUR DEMOCRACY MADE BY OUR PROTESTANT FOUNDING FATHERS!”
Immigration now: “OMG THE MUSLIMS ARE GOING TO DESTROY OUR DEMOCRACY AND BRING SHARIAH LAW!”

this is about the time most of my ancestors started coming to america... though some went through canada first. the german and scandinavian great grandparents/ great-great grandparents came around this time. actually... my mexican ancestors probably started coming up around this time too... but it's so cool to learn about it! thanks john green.
I grew up in S.E. Kansas. From 1900 to 1917, most of our ancestors immigrated from Italy and Ireland. They came to work in the coal mines.
I had blond hair as a kid and always felt like an outcast around all of my friends who had black hair. I wished so much I had black hair.
Everyone was very poor then and many still are, however we all had a wonderful time growing up. I go back and visit and am amazed at the tiny houses and shacks many of us lived in then and some still do today.
