TV channels could never get away with not sharing ad revenue with the studio who produced the show. Why can youtube?

Up to about 1850 they made up the vast majority of people leaving Ireland to got the US. Post 1850 Irish Natives made up the bulk of immigrants to the US.

    As someone who has Irish, Welsh, Scottish and English ancestors ( in other words, a typical Englishman ) I want to say you have done a remarkable job with this video. The only minor comment I would make is the change of name from "Norman " to " English" was maybe a little too early in date. After the Normans invaded what would become Britain, they were effectively an army in occupation in many areas for the next 200 years. Altogether, this is an excellent video - a very fair explanation of a highly complex history.

It's a fascinating subject for sure and science is making the picture clearer all the time.

      Not just on those islands. Here in America, we share that heritage. I recently had my DNA done. 50% English, 16% Scottish, 15% Welsh, 14% Irish. The other 5% is from the Scandinavian countries. My grandmother's maiden name is Madsen, so that makes sense.

It’s crazy, I’ve been watching videos of the unique cultural history’s of the British isles, and I just feel it resonate with me. Like I’m being encouraged to study up on our history

This helps me understand the scope of history in a way that I think is key to the study of history. Studying a single event or ruler/country is not as comprehensive as understanding the events and people leading up to that time or person/place. Even before the internet, events had a global effect. You do a great job, I love the map of Ireland here because I always think of modern Ireland whenever Ireland is mentioned. Keep up the good work and I'll be watching more of your videos! 😊

      I'm from Clare myself in a touristy spot near an Airport so we get a LOT of Americans here during the summer and TBH I always thought Jesus who cares where your Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great grandfather or whatever was from you aren't really Irish, not that I would be a dick to them or anything they are guests in the country and would always treat them as such.
      But last year I started learning Irish again and this summer went to Donegal to an Irish language course and to my slight surprise there were as many Americans there as Irish varying from 20's to 70's getting to know them by socialising in the bar in the evening I was left dumbfounded by how much of the Irish culture was preserved in the States. There was a girl from Minnesota who played the harp singing songs as Gaeilge I shit you not from the 1700's. It made me think about the horrible conditions that forced their ancestors out of Ireland (as well as plenty of my own) and that pain has travelled through the centuries to people several generations removed from Ireland leaving them while proud to be American feeling somewhere in the back of their minds the aren't where they should be.
      Long Story short it might have taken me 34 years but I get what your saying and if you feel as you say, Ireland is only a flight away and a wonderful country with the best people on Earth anyway Slán go fóill mo chara.

      And yet, and yet, we are just so perplexed on how serial killers do what they do. How can they do such things? OMG! Really tho, no matter how butchering people is justified, it's essentially the same. The only difference is, serial killers do it for self & outside the accepted group & structure. But the second it's done for self, or the rulers (kings, Queens, etc) 1st, & then for the people (group & structure ) next, then we can rape, torture, & butcher whomever gets in the way. Cold hard facts!
      But OMG, these serial killers? How is this possible, how can they do this? Oh they must be "EVIL" ! Yep that explains it all. We'll do all these elaborate studies to try to figure out what is just human nature! And in human nature, we will always find some justification for what we do. Which could mean that the serial killer is at least more honest & true to what they are. Ironically it's only after they are caught, that they start questioning themselves, & talking the same talk of the indoctrinated masses. That "I must be evil" or "something is wrong with me", etc etc, talk
