Any content produced by you is sure to be fun and interesting. I can't wait.
I mean... I tend not to care about video game streams... but this series?!? This seems like it will be _amazingly_ good... I’m excited for more!
We are in for a treat. A Canadian trying to make sense of American history is going to make for some crazy wtf faces.
Not to mention an opportunity for us to learn things that were left out of history class.
Indeed.
Droooolllll !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! History!
No. It is pretty much same history minus the drawn out lifespan of slavery and the US war for independence.
I'm 70 now. I was in grade school for the beginnings of the Space Race. I just had to learn everything a pre-teen could about everything space! I remember sneaking my "transistor radio" to school, so I could listen to launch-related info during recesses and lunch. It was also the time I discovered science fiction, though, looking back, kids books such as "R is for Rocket", the world of space travel in such works was being confirmed in the real world. Ham the monkey and Laika the dog were virtual friend of mine. Thank goodness I wasn't aware of their fates back then.
60's space set my mind to science and tech, giving me a life's path. And, to this day, I can watch launch footage over and over, especially the lighting off of the Saturn Five and shuttle main engines.
Thanks for filling in gaps of knowledge I could never even know I had back then with your research, reporting, and perspectives. Plus, your production values and skills are just plain wonderful.
As you branch and grow your brand, I know you will find great satisfaction!
You're one of those types that clearly loves to learn about the realities of history as opposed to the pure myths, unlike most people, so the more you talk about historical subjects the better. Especially in Ultra HD OMFG!!!! Please keep that!
Ha! I do have 4K filming now!
@@theSpaceVixen like I said I have nothing but love for Canadians, Brits, and Aussies. 4K should make it interesting and better quality for filming
As a history nerd, I'm looking forward to it.
If you cover American history as well as you do the early space program, your new channel is going to be very interesting. I look forward to your journey.
Bring it on, Amy! I’ll wager that 90% of what you cover in this project will be new information for all of us.
Adam Smith, great start to understanding America's founding. I wish more Americans would read such things.
I am getting caught up on this channel as I only now have become aware of it, but in the short amount amount of content in it I have already learned more about YOU than in the past several years of your vintage Space channel. I really started to chuckle when you explained how you as a Canadian trying to understand America kept driving you further and further back from the period you are Most known for (the 1950-1970s vintage space era) to the civil war, the war for independence to colonialism
As a descendant of both hessian and Irish mercenary clans let me tell you that your journey has only begun. You might find yourself being driven back to the counter reformation wars, the crusades, perhaps even back to the great schism. That’s the beauty and the deadly trap of being a fan of history, we find ourselves going all the way back until we hit the wall of of undocumented history
As a Canadian watching a Canadian learning about America. I can't wait to learn along
2nd the motion!
So many Americans could stand to learn more about American history!
Amy, I'm really excited about this! As a Arm Chair Historian, I love getting new perspectives on history. You mentioned the news, As an american giving advice to a Canadian; be careful of the modern news media's take on "history". They seem to be more interested in sensationalism and ratings than historical accuracy. As you alluded, context is everything, History is not a series of sound bites! I'm really looking forward to the journey.
As a European living in America, learning more about it than I already know is always welcome. Knowing the depth and detail you provide in your videos, I am sure it will be excellent.
Looking forward to this series, cheers :) xxx
I'd like to hear Pete's thoughts on the rebranding.
Always excited for new content. Thank you so much Amy, you are always a classic beauty.
Goes something like this: Meow, meow, hissss... 😂
Cat. He's a kitty cat.
Pete's silent partner, no real say on the project 😂😊
"Real title sequence coming eventually"? I love that one! It has a mid-century educational cartoon vibe to it!
Terrific launch, dear goddess of scholarship, empress of erudition, stupendous Scheherazade of human endeavors! Brava! Lead on!
I trust you find our lack of Tim Hortons disturbing.
I've always wondered if their stuff is really that good.
@@SidNightWalker It isn't. Their food is worse than MacDonalds.
Tim Hortons is overrated.
As is In-N-Out.
@@SidNightWalker it's not
@@SidNightWalker food sucks. Coffee is good
I also have a passion to learn and understand answers to the big questions. To learn which questions are really important to ask. So this series is definitely of interest.
Hey Amy,
Eric W. Markley, here…
Your content IS enjoyable regardless of what haters have to say.
I say this because you clearly have PASSION for what you do. It’s clear in the way that you communicate, IMHO.
Most of those hater-folk are just projecting their own inadequacies upon others because its SO EASY to accomplish online without any culpability whatsoever. Know what I mean?
I prefer to put it like this - there are NO ANSWERS in the comments section.
From a long-standing South African fan: go for it!
Hi Amy. I just purchased both of your books and can't wait to listen to them! Please, don't let anyone discourage you regarding the new channel, book, or anything else. You are the best!
Good luck with the channel. As an American whose ancestors came to Quebec in the 1630s I have a rich Canadian background. This should be fun.
Amy, with the look into American history from a Canadian's look into it- can you also highlight Canadian history when it matters to what you are finding? For instance, Washington's original military experience was more of a dispute between Britain and France WRT the Ohio Valley- of course that ends up being some Canadian history, too. There is the attack on Quebec as an early part of the Revolution, the War of 1812, and even some worries in Canada over the Civil War that there could be an invasion. Let alone there's a huge chunk of Canada that has a huge French background, which is confusing (let alone the conflict that Washington started that kind of peaked in 1759 in Quebec City.)
So many ties.
Yup. There's a lot of this that's of interest to me as a Canadian wanting to know Canadian history, too. Like Canada's independence coming from the US Civil War. It's very connected and will be part of the story in fits and spurts!
Glad I'm not the only one. As an American (US) will appreciate the deeper dive into my own History but also how Canada fits in... So often it's easy to forget our Neighbor (sorry Neighbour) to the North...
I am excited on your new direction. As a resident in the Detroit area, it will be fun to find out what our SOUTHERN neighbor thinks of us. Yes, Detroit is north of Canada - look it up on a map. This comes up as a Jeopardy question every so often. I grew up watching Canadian TV. Back in the "day" when there were only 3 American TV networks, we Detroit kids also had the Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC) out of Windsor Ontario, so I am a somewhat rare American who knows Canadian history. The actual city I live in is Hamtramck, Michigan. It is named after Jean Francois (John Francis) Hamtramck, a French Canadian, who may be of interest to you. When American rebels invaded Canada prior to the Declaration of Independence, Hamtramck was a 19-year-old who decided to throw in his lot with the rebels. He fought all through the Revolution rising to the rank of captain. He was one of Alexander Hamilton's main officers, when Hamilton led the attack on Redoubt #10 at Yorktown. When the redoubt was taken, Cornwallis' defenses were essentially broken and he had to surrender, ending the American Revolution in a victory for the new United States. Hamtramck stayed in the army after the revolution, rising to the rank of Colonel. At the important post revolution battle of Fallen Timber, under General "Mad" Anthony Wayne, Hamtramck led the attack that secured victory and paved the way for England finally leaving the United States' northwestern lands. Later, Colonel Hamtramck was sent by General Wayne to secure Detroit from the British, who should have left about 10 years earlier, and become the first American commander of Detroit, one of the new nation's most important frontier cities. Hamtramck is an obscure figure today but was fairly well known in his day and was commended by Washington himself. Colonel Hamtramck remains were eventually moved to our city which bears his name. He is buried in front of the city's monument to all its fallen soldiers. As an aside, when Detroit celebrated its Tri-Centennial in 2001, the Detroit Free Press named Colonel Hamtramck as the "Most Reburied Detroiter." He had been disinterred and reburied 4 times! Good luck on your new direction.
I love this idea. Not only do I like to expand my historical knowledge base but I love sharing the history I know with people who are learning it for the first time.
As a native Texan living in Canada, I look forward to this series happening.
Don’t worry about starting a new channel or whatever lots of CZcamsrs like to branch out like that. I’m sure whatever you want to make videos about we will find interesting. American History is definitely a worthy choice.
Some books you might find as good jumping off points:
Our Beloved Kin: A New History of King Philip's War - Lisa Brooks
In the Devil's Snare: The Salem Witchcraft Crisis of 1692 - Mary Beth Norton
The World That Made New Orleans: From Spanish Silver to Congo Square - Ned Sublette
Encounters at the Heart of the World: A History of the Mandan People -Elizabeth A. Fenn
One Vast Winter Count: The Native American West before Lewis and Clark - Colin G. Calloway
Indigenous Prosperity and American Conquest: Indian Women of the Ohio River Valley, 1690-1792 - Susan Sleeper-Smith
I look forward to the new work
You're good at covering history in an interesting and fun way. You did a great job on the Apollo space program, and you'll do great on this topic, and it's a huge one. There's a huge amount of material on US history, most of which is complex. I can highly recommend the memoirs of former President Richard Nixon, who was probably the most complex and enigmatic US President of the 20th century. Plus, he wrote very well. He could have been a writer if he hadn't been a lawyer and politicians.
Also as a American History Major i applaud everything you do! Happy to help suggest parts of history if you want!
Looking forward to it. I like your objective-viewed look at space history, and if you can keep up the same level of quality, I think we are in for a treat. (Fellow Canadian cheering you on!)
BRING IT❣️❣️❣️ I am SO here for this!
Loved you ever since 'Pluto In A Minute'... you go girl! 💪
Thank you! 😊
Very cool. My son will love this. We're in the UK. You are a great historian. Plus, show us around your bookshelf please!
Excellent! Looking forward to learning more. Cheers….!!!
Hell yeah. Bring it! We love your content.
I’m really looking forward to seeing what you have to share with us; as a Brit it will be a fascinating journey. All the best 👍🏻
Please continue crushing it.
Greatly looking forward to your presentations on history!!
Follow your bliss, Amy! Your audience will find you.
I love ALL your work and dedication. THANK YOU!
I can't wait. I want to see what you have to say about our indigenous heritage. Much like canada, our histories are so entwined with that of indigenous peoples.
Looking forward to the new changes Amy! You are such a sweetie! And brilliant too!
Hi Amy, I'm Super Excited to hear about your New Series... I know we can depend on you for amazingly researched presentations. Good Luck ... Can't wait to see what's coming... Thanks soooo much for what you do....
I haven’t been this excited about an American history series since Crash Course started when I was in high school! Seriously can’t wait to watch these, great idea Amy!
Seconded!
Looking forward to your perspective!
The world needs a vivacious historian about now. Victor Davis Hanson is getting long in the tooth. So looking forward to the question of US/Canadian relationship. Seems like a 'red headed stepchild' sort of thing. I live in the fruit of "54.40 or fight!" - in the original Vancouver. Best to your bold adventure.... loved the mid-century tech of my childhood.
Bring it on! You have know how and talent to bring it off.
Amy, I'm looking forward to this new content a lot! Best wishes, I'll be tuned in! Thank you! Tom
looking forward to this dive into history, excellent Idea Amy
Looking forward to it. I've enjoyed all the content so far, and I'm sure this will be no different. Good luck!
With seeing, and knowing how you are with research and facts, I know you will do an amazingly great job. With your space history videos, I always learn smtg. I can not wait to see what you do with this channel! Very excited! 😃
Rebrand as much as you want, the content is awesome. Just because you're diving into it way more than many other channels. Good luck! :)
I am 100% on board with what ever you do.
Sounds amazing! Looking forward to it!
Definitely more excited about this topic. It's always interesting to see how our neighbors understand us, and I'm looking forward to what details you dig up!
As a fellow expatriate Canadian living in the US, I’m super excited for this series!
Cool! Looking forward to looking back.
Hi Amy, this venture of yours is exactly what I’ve been waiting for, I also am a Canadian who is intrigued by history.
Good luck with the new venture!
Awesome! I've always been interested in the history of science and I have a feeling you would be an excellent contextualizer of various threads into a coherent narrative. So here for this!
Suits me fine! I am an American Space nerd with a deep love of Canadian Music.
whoo! I am a Canadian who is looking forward to learning about America from a Canadian!
Excellent! Looking forward to the first episode.
Amy it's exciting to see you broaden your history focus to broader American history, which likely explains why they had to get to the moon first by 1969.
As an Australian, I too get confused by American history. So having you: an intelligent, well read, in depth researcher as my guide, I look forward to your insights 👍.
Looking forward to your new USA history project and videos!
Awesome! looking forward to it!!
Congrats on the new focus! I’m looking forward to new awesome content. FYI, I’ve enjoyed Heather Cox Richardson’s “Letters to America” online content. I’ve added her books to my wish list. I’ve heard great things about Howard Zinn for an alternative to standard US history. One huge topic not much discussed is the depopulation of much of North America after initial European contact, but before colonization efforts (as I recall this was after the Viking colony failed). Again, looking forward to seeing where your curiosity takes you!
My Mom has been sending me Heather Cox Richardson’s content! Really interesting stuff.
Can’t wait super excited 😍😍
And I'll be here to see it! 👍
Looking forward to this! I’m also a Canadian who lived and worked in the US up until I retired in 2020. Living in Montreal in the 60s and being completely immersed in the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions had a very positive impact on my life and future career. As a result the history of the mid twentieth century holds a special interest for me. Keep up the great work! I’ll definitely be watching.
Whooo hoooo! Liked and subscribed before the video started playing.
Cool! Look forward to new content. Keep doing what you do. I like your space stuff, but you have lots of great interesting information. Have a great day!
Canadian history is something I wouldn't mind learning about either.
Great idea, keep up the wonderful work.
Totally cool. I’ve noticed Shelby Footes books on your shelf in past and am excited to hear your assessments on that topic. You’ve always got crisp and thorough takes and I’ll gladly follow wherever you take your content. I’m particularly interested in the seven years war, and it’s impact on America (and Canada), the first principles of the founders and, well, just about everything...
🥳🤗 in the last two years I've been watching more and reading more about history this will be a go-to channel for me.
Some of my other favorites are world War II in real time and the Cold War channel along with Mark Felton productions and the history guy. I'm glad there are so many good channels presenting quality content and not just RA-RA America stuff.
I've been watching your channel since almost to the start and I know you'll present history warts and all from both sides.
I also saw your video where you say people are down on you for rebranding yourself hick you can be more than one thing.
I'm looking forward to seeing all of your content
I look forward to it. As a Brit, I've largely spent the last 40 years unlearning what a great power for good the US is! This is largely down to the scrummage for oil as best expressed in the Peter Francopan book The Silk Roads. I hope, with the likes of Elon Musk leading the way, the world will go in a better direction.
Or to quote Bill Murry in Stripes, " We are Americans, you know what that means, Do You? It means we were kicked out of every decent country in the world." Sorry Amy I couldn't resist.
Don't know why I haven't seen this video until now (eyeballs the Al Gore Rhythm)... but Yes! To all of this. Keep the good stuff coming Amy. More power to ya!
I'm looking forward to this I love studying american history
Bring it on! I'm looking forward to hearing your take on American history. I just finished reading a book on the founding fathers of the US and their gardening/farming habits that was fascinating.
hell yeah cant wait! love your work.
Courage pour le nouvelle projet. look forward to seeing you soon.
I look forward to this new content. I'm sure it will as thoroughly researched as your previous content.
Your style and enthusiasm, infectious. You probably know about James Burke';s "Connections" and his "The Day the Universe Changed". Outdated, perhaps, but one needn't emulate Hitchcock (Fermi, Kant, Heinlein, Kerouac, Descartes) to understand the bigger, more complicated interconnections. Your groove is your own and I'm eager to see where you take it. Rock on with your bad self.
Yay! Looking forward to hearing about your research.
Wow Amy good for you, looking forward to the new channel, from a fellow Canadian
Nice👍 looking forward to seeing it from a different perspective especially in these chaotic times. Hopefully your take on past events from both sides of the spectrum might inspire others to be open minded in the present. But at the very least I'll be looking forward to them🙂
We shoulda stuck with Canada. I'm just say'n. I hear that you're a kick boxer, so KICK IT and we'll be standing by!
Looking forward to It!!!
Bravo! Can't wait!
Love this project! Keep it up!
It's gonna be great!
Sounds like a plan... I'm in! Greetings from YUL!
I love history Amy. I will follow you and am subscribed. I love your style. I can't wait.
This sounds really really good. Should be utterly fascinating .....but that's par for the course of any work you produce.
I am so exited about this change, I study American history and my main area of study is WWII and the Cold War. So I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
I learned something new and that you are Canadian which is OK and you like Civil War history. Your content is fun and interesting and factual.
Amy you'll be intrigued by the history of this country. Enjoy your discovery of American History. Hope you get a chance to visit some of the National Historical Sites once this pandemic ends.
