Beautiful captures of our Capital growing. I've never seen some of those pictures and glad Matthew Brady took these pictures.
All that I can say is AMAZING! Born and raised in DC and never imagined these scenes. Thank you!
Fascinating. The closest thing to a time machine.
no people
@@bipolatelly9806 Look p.e. at 8:00, 8:25.
Ya back to 600 ad
Music is a beautiful match. That soft thump is as though we’re hearing the rhythm of the men (free and slave) build the epicenter of this young empire.
Masterfully presented. Top quality work, brilliant editing.
Just finished the book, Empire of Mud, secret history of Washington D.C. This video was a great way to finish the story and add realism to the whole episode, Thanks
Excellent. It's also nice when captions don't last so long that you have lost interest by the time the photo appears. Some video producers seem to assume that everyone has suffered severe head trauma in a car crash.
Another great video and you have an awesome community.
Thank you for sharing
I love these photos.and I love the music it goes with pics.
Amazing photos and fantastic to see how Washington DC was. No road just horse and buggy. Great was to get around
Imagine Washington DC back then with no roads cars or Traffic
And neoclassical buildings. Hmmmm
Wonderful video, great photos of the building of key parts of Washington and I LOVED the music. What is the piece's name?
Incredible! Thank you.
This is so cool!!!!! Thank you!
Even Washington DC wasn't built in a day.... Amazing photographs in this video.
Great Pictures! Bravo!
The Capitol looks completely different before the rotunda was built!
I've lived in DC for almost 30 years. It's amazing to see the building of these iconic sites that are still standing today.
I only wish I could go back in time and walk these streets before all the barricades and fences were put up.
I'd love to just walk up to the White House and gain automatic entrance-or the Capitol - and walk in any of the many entrances we can no longer use
Amazing soundtrack to match
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION!!!!
This is amazing. The black and white photos make it look like everything was dreary but it wasn't. It was full of color.
Wonderful trip back in time!
Before the civil war joe citizen could walk into the white house and ask to speak to the president. The security there was terrible until lincolns assasination.
Security wasn't so good at Ford's Theatre either.
Yep thats why british troops ransacked and set the place on fire
Also the reason we have the Secret Service.
@THE HAITIAN CALVARY What do you mean, no? Yes, the British set The White House on fire.
Kimberly Player during the war of 1812 you idiot. It was a direct response from the British for the us burning Canada’s parliament building
Simply AMAZING!!!! One photo has Dec 15, ‘57. 105 yrs to the day of my birthday! Remarkable!!! ☺️
Nice Video! 5:13 On that date they needed gas machines to blow hot air into a balloon, so can we assume Congress was not in session that day?
Captivant ! Merci !
Ces photos sont magnifiques.
I was born and raised in PG county. These are amazing!
Not sure if it is "music" but the accompanying sound in the background is great.
Thank you very nice history
Very interesting and informative. I work at the Capitol and have been there for 24 years. I learned a bunch of things from these photos, I did not know that the spot where they hung Wirz for war crimes as a confederate is where the Supreme Court stands now. It was also neat to see some photos of the streets surrounding the Capitol and White House and recognizing buildings that are still there today including some of the shops. Some of the houses that were shops in those photos are still storefronts today even.
The photo at 1:48 looks like one of the very common "vanilla skies" photos one comes across where "construction" of these buildings are concerned. They've done so much doctoring/CGIing with these 19th century photos to keep their lies alive. Most of these pictures have men standing around, clearing posing for the camera, which was of course such a big deal then and people loved it and it showed. You see the horses and buggies/carts, and you just know they did not have the capability to construct these massive buildings that were made to last forever. The "great fires" that seem to have taken most of them down were not fires but some kind of directed energy weapons they already possessed at this time.
You see a lot of proof of this in the photos of San Francisco, the "fires" and "earthquake" of either 1906 or 1908, I can't remember at the moment which year it was. But if you look at those photos and the condition of the buildings, and look around the area and see the pulverization laying about, it puts one in mind of what we saw in NYC after the "9/11 attacks".
Just food for thought for those interested in researching truth in opposed to accepting the mainstream lies they are continually trying to force-feed us.
I have been watching the same researchers as you. Thanks
Excellent
So interesting!!
Be neat to see this video colorized.
I JUST FOUND THIS CHANNEL, VERY GOOD I LIKE TO SEE THINGS CONCERNING THE CIVIL WAR AREA, THEY DO NOT EVEN TEACH THIS IMPORTANT TIME IN OUR SCHOOLS, WHAT A SHAME, KEEP THIS IMPORTANT TIME ALIVE, ALWAYS REMEMBER THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH FOR THEIR SACRIFICE FOR WHAT THEY BOTH BELIEVED IN
The pic twds the end 14:14 its perfect the way everyone is positioned and the white house in the background
All those people in these photos are long passed on. Glad these photos exist. It's like looking into another civilization that existed right where we are standing. My great grandmother was born in 1865 and lived until 1966. Probably one of the last people from that time.
Génération de mes arrière-grands parents aussi , qui ont vécu moins longtemps (1860-1916 et 1858-1932). Né en 57 je ne les ai pas connus...
@@Lardenoy Sorry, my friend, I only speak English. Hope you can translate this for me.
Love history, thank you for your hard work. I just ask that you give a bit more time to read, thank you
The timing between each each frame is a bit too fast to read the text, absorb what it says and then examine the image that follows. So use the settings icon to slow the speed down and mute the music that plays so you can take it all in a bit easier.
Old photos in general and film from WW1 are interesting to me. Richard in Dallas
Wonderful old photographs!
Ya we have horses and buggies yet build stuff like this ,we must have went backwards because all we build now is boxes
WE did not build these buildings. WE occupied them. Built by the previous "Founders" (Masons), the ones overtaken by The "Free-Masons". They didn't build anything; they simply remodeled the buildings they got for free. This is why there are no construction plans or photos or drawings to be found. Those, if they ever existed at all, were burned up in the great "fires".
White out photo shop very common practice and easy. These buildings were built before great flood about 3500 years ago. They were " founded".
You can thank modernist architecture for that
So we redid the dome what about the rest
Where is Buchanan in his inauguration photo?
BTW, that Episcopal Cathedral also had a grocery store.
Many buildings look aged and dirty to be new. Fancy buildings everywhere yet dirt roads. They weren't even bricked. Weird to me.
Did anyone else notice that the Bonnie Blue Flag song, a confederate song, was playing in the background during the lincoln photos?
Not enough time to capture and absorb the composition of the photos and the text. What's the rush? I wore out my space bar on this on.
The White House in 1859. Two years later Lincoln would be inaugurated and a couple of months later, the Civil War. Amazing photo, knowing what we know now.
Amazing that in 1863, during the battle of Gettysburg, only 84 miles away... there is photos of heavy construction going on at the Capitol building. I wonder if those construction workers could hear the sounds of battle on those hot summer days (Talking about cannons and such firing nonstop).
Maybe. I think that Gettysburg had one of the largest artillery duels ever.
Zack x I remember reading somewhere that the cannon fire from Gettysburg was indeed heard in Washington, as well as several other locations up to 80 miles away.
These building were here before the "pilgrims" arrived.
@@5thdmt yeah they were remodeling the Capital Building during the Civil War. Lol "They" really think we are that dumb. Yet some would never even try to rationalize this utter bull shit story. The biggest lie ever told. America
Zack x well there was actual fighting in Washington too.
Great collection of photos, what I can’t understand is why did they build all these gigantic buildings but didn’t think twice to pave the streets, why are they all dirt roads?
Doesn't add up, does it? Lots of great research channels on here showing the lies we were told about this.
That view of the Smithsonian Castle is actually Murder Bay with the Smithsonian Castle as a backdrop. Murder Bay consisted of substandard and unsafe living conditions the poor and desperate men, women and children, loan sharks, illegal gambling games, sex workers, thieves, rapists, johns. Today that patch is called Federal Triangle. Rumor has it that the word "Hooker" came from a map of this area confining Civil War soldiers to one area for their low brow mayhem. General Hooker's map was labled "Hooker's Zone."
Very fascinating. (It is a pity that photography did not already exist in ancient Rome, for example.)
Imagine having actual video of the civil war , it would’ve been amazing watching Pickett’s charge at ghettsburgh
I would love to go prospecting on the Mall in front of the Smithsonian Castle with a metal detector (which I know isn't permitted). Imagine what you can find!
Besides James Smithson's bones? Maybe some buffalo patties?
it's like they inherited a large civilisation
Where is all people on the pictures???
They moved too fast for the camera to pick up.
@@heathert5455 there would be blurs of them, musta been before people or we have been lied to
@1:11 ...Castle? These structures seem out of place
No people, no smoke, no sky, no clouds, no wind or rain, nothing
Uh... Wow!
This one looks bigger then the new white house
Wonderful photos of our Capital's history! One thing I always wondered is how did people cope with hot summer days with all that heavy clothing, and no daily showers yuck! One final note... I am sure everyone of the people in these photos would roll over in their graves, if they saw how Washington has turned into money grabbing politicians who could care less what is best for the American people and keeping our country safe and prosperous!
no people
Whine, whine, whine. Bitch, bitch, bitch. Moan, moan, moan. As a DC Native, I can attest, living here is GREAT!
Lawrence Hawkins yeah all the money stolen the American taxpayers is sure if your in power
@@lawrencehawkins7198 It is a beautiful city!

What about the hanging of the Lincoln conspirators - 1865.
bruh... put the captions on the picture. that way there's more time to look at the pic and you don't feel like ur reading a book.
I was about to like the video but then I saw how many likes this has.
So?

Thoreau was in his hut at Walden
I wonder how these buildings will hold up compared to say, ancient Rome. I am guessing not well.
Look up a couple of documentaries from US Capitol regarding the Cannon building and needed repairs that were started a few years ago. Horrible issues on just a 100 year old building...
3:59...a little help from one of the children of the 'Greats! post mudflood 1810-12 or so..and with a GIANT's Memorial Now! 11:13 streetcar rails..The Greats Were The GROUND FLOOR Everywhere yes?
MY GREAT UNCLE NED HELPED TO DIG THE WINE CELAR FOR THE OUT HOUSE, EEER, I MEAN WHITE HOUSE. HE ALSO OWNED THE FIRST BROTHEL IN DC - HE WAS A RICH OLD BASTARD!
Your Great Uncle Ned owned congress? LOL
@@billolsen4360 Hilarious!!!!!
Any1 with half a brain will realize these structures were already there. At such a time there was according to the historical narrative, a total lack of resource to build anything beyond wooden housing structures and brick.
no people
Their all dead probably
1:55 5:39 5:47 6:36 6:45
Odio ese sonido de fondo ¿No pudieron usar musiquita americana bonita?
Un cinco
the “statute of freedom” representing gross irony
Where are the people
pierwsze zdjęcie coś nie tak z 8
Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden remember these times.
2:50 That is not a construction photo of that building. The building already looks very old and weathered and why are the bottom windows mostly covered by sediment? The actual bottom of that building is below the surface, this photo just shows the building being repaired. History is all a lie
It doesn't look that different.
Exactly, just look at the buildings structure that is almost same like today's building
I wish i was in that time. Not gifted to be an American in this lifetime
Loved the pics. Editing was poor. The written word was pulled down before you could read it.
✌👁👁
This music is nauseating to me for some reason.
1:46 fake
Inheriting a city so take some pics
Digging shit out of the mud and patching things up. These people did not build these buildings from scratch which is why they look so aged already. Bullshit!!!
Bullshit is right ..Also easy common practice white out photoshop for the masses of morons who surround this created realm
Reaks of foreign investment, tavistock Institute and evil thievery.
Where are the pictures big us actually building this shit
Very disturbing soundtrack
Wow you can see at 1:07 Nancy Pelosi pulling a wagon in her mid 40s
😂
I wonder who built all of these Romanesque structures and Castles across America and what happened to them... it's pretty obvious that the statues surrounding them at that time, some of which remain, have absolutely nothing to do with the America we learned about in American History. They want us to pretend that the "construction photos" for a new dome on the U.S. Capitol building or a new roof on The Parthenon (in Nashville) depict the actual construction of these buildings which were "found" here by our "Founding Fathers" as they are called. Whatever was done here and being kept hidden is the reason they burn books, make up beyond ridiculous narratives for their official stories, set arson fires to all of the museums, bombed out the downtown areas of every major city with the so-called "Great Fire(s) of ____" in the late 1800s/early 1900s (some of them more than once), and it is partly why they have censored the internet into virtual non- existence. All photographs of the days of olde, as well as drawings, maps, and art, are a very valuable resource we could use to see some truth about what was going on at this time in history. Unfortunately, the older black and white photos can be very easily doctored, esp. on the screen, but there are many which have not been tampered with. People now will mostly believe anything they are told and will not take the time to see what can be discovered with a careful or often even a cursory review of old photographs, drawings, or art. I have been researching photos, etc., like these when I can find the time to for a few years now, and my findings have led me to believe that we have probably not been told the truth about much of anything related to our history. It should also be apparent to anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear that right now, at this moment in time, we most certainly are being lied to and the people are deceived at an unprecedented level.
Interesting BUT you havent got time to read all the commentary ANNOYING !!!!
photograph of the Smithsonian burning is a joke, it is all hand painted
and I´m still cannot see Lincoln...
Worst sound track ever.
WARNING TO VIEWERS! This video is accompanied by a 14+ minute repetition soundtrack of some hip-hop beat. Be ready to activate your MUTE button.
It is not hip-hop and is a wonderful piece of music perfectly suited to the video. The vast majority won't be muting it.
LIES LIES AND MORE LIES
You really think playing Confederate music is appropriate? The Bonnie Blue Flag? Really?
Where are the HARD working 3rd worlders? Oh in their country's .
There were many immigrants here from India, China and Mexico.
Built about 3500 years ago before great flood ..White put photo shop top of buildings..maybe some repairs. Shit ass light weight crane picks .
Found and stolen from the indigenous
