- An educational video recounting the origins of the Pequot War, a conflict that changed New England forever. An important chapter in American history, it is rarely covered extensively by schools. Please enjoy, and feel free to ask me any questions about the story! It can be overwhelming at times, but is extremely exciting :)

AUTHOR’S NOTE
This video acts as a ‘sequel’ to the First Thanksgiving, taking place in the decade after the famous feast. More important players are introduced, such as John Winthrop Sr. and Uncas of the Mohegans, but Plymouth colony is still alive.
Yet again, I was obliged to leave out many details due to time constraints, but please feel free to leave a comment asking about anything that may not have been clear in the video!

Uncivil history be like
“I have returned mortals”
He been gone for 9 months, tf is he having a baby?
@@imyourrealsensei He is taking care of his baby now
I love how fair and unbiased this stuff is compared to what we learn in school
There are no victims and no criminals, just humans
@@vincenzorutigliano5435 humans can be both and talking about it is not simply hating on the past, but analyzing history to learn from it.
@@angeliparraguirre7329 I get what you say but we can't read history with the same lens that we see the present.
@@vincenzorutigliano5435 i didn't mean the same lens. We know times change and so things can becone, dare i say, relative.
Everyone's ancestors are guilty. The woke right now are just clambering for clout by conveniently choosing a good and bad guy
I’ve been waiting for a whole year. The content is so good I really hope this isn’t an annual thing. Please.
So sorry for the long wait! I will be releasing them more quickly than annually, I promise! I already have started the research for my next vid :)
Uncivil History awesome, keep it up. I’ll be here for it.
@@UncivilHistory I love your videos, they give good insight to U.S. history that was glossed over. Sorry to ask, but is the reason why it takes a long time is b/c the individual histories and accounts are hard to track down?....essentially you're becoming an historian by trade.
@@matpikachu They are not necessarily hard to track down, but I try to read as many primary and secondary sources as possible before starting the script. So there are MANY reasons it takes a long time, for example: research, script, storyboard, and last but definitely NOT least, the actual animating :)
@@UncivilHistory Oh, ok. Thanks, keep up the great work! (I have an education channel of my own and I know it can be a rough ride)
the quality of the art is AMAZING
Tdlr: Both the Europeans and the Natives had rival nations even if they were the same race (English and Dutch, Pequot and Narragansett) and had alliances with each other but some of them were broken off because of political interest. Both the Europeans and the Natives had ulterior motives and played political games. The Natives were intelligent and has their own interests and schemes in mind. It's not always as simple as the "bad, evil Europeans" and "poor, defenseless, clueless Natives".
I’d kill to have a Game of Thrones style show following the true story of native Americans and early European colonizers
"kill"? I see what you did there. =D
And tell the truth starting in 1619 not 1776!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
@@larry1824 You're absolutely right that it is important we as history educators tell the story of the Portuguese pirate ship that captured enslaved Africans from Spain and sold them to the Jamestown colony in 1619. We also need to tell the story of how the Atlantic Slave Trade began in the 1400s before then. But we also need to not get carried away. The Portuguese Pirates and English tobacco planters in 1619 had absolutely zero thought about starting a new country. All the pirates cared about was collecting the money and sailing out in search of their next victims. The English planters were still loyal to English King James I, and made that clear in the first meeting of the Virginia House of Burgesses that same year. In no way did anyone involved in the inhumane transfer of trafficked humans in 1619 think they were starting a nation called the United States. However, the delegates of the 2nd Continental Congress 157 years later in 1776 absolutely believed and knew they were starting a new nation called the United States. Now, we absolutely need to tell how Washington could have ended all slavery in the new United States by just putting it in a letter to all the states in 1783, after the War for Independence had ended. He could have again while president from 1789-1797. President Adams could have as well, since he and Federalists from northern states controlled the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. Heck! Jefferson, though famously owning slaves openly declared it evil and a contradiction--and he was president for another 8 years from 1801-1809! There's no excuse for any of them to have not ended slavery when they could have. But, I don't think we need to declare that America started in 1619, because nobody in 1619 was even thinking about founding a new nation at that time. What are your thoughts on this?
@@larry1824 Hopefully you're not referring to the racist narrative of 1619 that was quickly debunked. Always tell the truth with history. The problem is, most people who see themselves as "victims of history" don't like their own 'villainous' history.
Am I late
I love this please don't make me wait a whole year though lol
My high school US History students love your videos. Solid content!
Incredibly well versed, balanced, and suspenseful historical commentary. I hope that you will continue to be encouraged to produce more of this well researched history so succinctly summarized. Bravo. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I promise more is to come. I am so happy you like my style and I will do my best in future videos!
See you all next year for the next video.
Hahahaha...yeah...next one won't take as long. Sorry, I am constantly traveling around the world and, well, life happens.
@@UncivilHistory By all means, after just finishing watching the video I would gladly make a Thanksgiving tradition of watching a video this well researched. You even have all the source in the description. Good stuff, I'll happily await the next video.
@@UncivilHistory its been a year already
@@hi-am-pat2k176 So sorry! I am running behind on this one due to life...it will be coming soon! I am working on it as we speak
@@UncivilHistory Great Job!👏 I’m looking forward to the next videob
Holy crap this was 100% informative, interesting, and the cartoon design was amazing.
This guy needs a patreon and we can give him a team
This is some of the most AMAZING content I've EVER discovered in history information. Thank you SO MUCH for citing sources, animating, and everything!!! 😇🙏💓 This is the au courant of modern social media information sharing! (:
Ayeeeee finally! Glad to see a new vid man!
Pre-US and Canadian North American history is so fascinating. I wish more of it was taught in schools.
Welp I'll see you all next year lads
Omg I've waited exactly one year since the last thanksgiving!!! I love you guys
Thx
Probably the highest quality animated history channel there is
Thank you so much for uploading. The content is great!
Thank you! More is coming :)
Im sure youre a busy guy. But i share the sentiments of many here. The vids youve made so far are easily the most digestable history lessons ive seen yet. Better than anything ive seen in school.
Wow, thank you so much! Yes I am quite busy but this is my passion so I want to be better with my speed and upload more often. I am so happy you like these videos, and comments like yours are what keep me going!
Only two videos on this channel!? This needs to change. Great quality videos IMHO
A year went so fast woah, it felt like yesterday i discovered the channel
I REALLY hope I produce more quickly. Since I am one person and life gets in the way, it is difficult to make detailed videos quickly, but I will try more!
Uncivil History dont worry take your time, I still enjoy the videos dude. Just don’t overwork yourself :)
So you will upload yearly every Thanksgiving? Strong message.
More often than once a year this time, I hope!
@@UncivilHistory Uhhhh
@@UncivilHistory PLS PART 2 WE NEED ITT
An excellent video and perfect for my history class, clear, concise, interesting and fairly non biased. Its well worth subscribing even if its one video per year the quality is worth the wait.
thank so much!! I am running behind on Part 2 one due to life getting in the way...it will be coming soon! I am working on it as we speak, I am glad you are patient and enjoy the quality :)
All the wait you put is through is worth it. This is downright awesome
Thank you so much!
This is so awesome! Keep up the good work, can't wait for part two!
*YES*
Please do more of these videos, I am so glad that vids like this exists. I love the complexities in history that analyzes areas that most textbooks simplified and glossed over!
Thanks so much! And I am totally with you on the complexities :)
The wars were mostly based on crops, props, valuables, values, and other kinds of wants and needs
I love the animation and the content keep it up. You're gonna be big someday
The Narraganset got a raw deal, their demise would strengthen other tribes resolve to not capitulate to the Europeans. Tecumseh mentioned them in his Pan-Indian unification speech to a host of other chiefs years later.
Please do Little Turtle’s war at some point.
Yes they did! More on Miantonomo and the fate of the Narragansett in Part 3..I would love to eventually get to Little Turtle; first Metacom and then on to the 18th century!
So glad this channel uploaded again!
Me too, finally!
Rewatching this to catch up before I watch the new vid, glad you're back!
i love the detail of the englishman from endicott's arrival at block island - the soldier who got shot at, the arrow ricocheting off the helmet. there's a wonderful source my girlfriend showed me of an englishman fighting with his wife about whether or not to wear a helmet (imagine today, "you were right, dear, it was a good thing i brought my coat because it started raining, should've listened to you)
Yes! Haha wow I am so happy someone caught that! Yes, this is Captain Underhill who only wore his helmet because his wife insisted! He writes 2 full pages about it in his memoirs, and he also mentions the man next to him who gets shot through the neck. Luckily, his stiff collar kept the arrow from hitting anything vital, so he survived :) I am so happy you caught that!
@@UncivilHistory it's such wonderful little episode of history - illustrates so much humanity between Captain and Mistress Underhill. You can easily imagine how that interaction played out between the two in their home before Underhill joined Endicott
keep up the good work! I'm amazed at the detail and scholarship that goes into your work ! I used to be a pilgrim at plimoth plantation, so i'm pleased to see your respect for the material and history
@@louissparks76 Thank you, I will continue to do my best! That's awesome that you were a pilgrim, not many people have delved as deeply as you have in this history, I am sure!
Mrs. Gardiner: You can go pillaging all you want but you HAVE TO WEAR A HELMET!
YES I’ve been waiting for a year I’m soooo happy!
I just discovered this video as I was trying to piece together my Puritain and Native American ancestry before Thanksgiving. My ancestor travelled on the Old Connecticut Trail from Boston to Hartford. Maybe we should call it Forgiveness Day. It's a sad history.
Quality > Quantity
Thank you. I'm glad you appreciate this :)
Fascinating formerly forbidden history made liberated!
The extremely dirty territory wars of our colonial past. Its crazy how the school teachers glaze over this.
WOOOO! Welcome back! I look forward to future uploads.
Thanks! They will be coming!
Nice, glad to see more from you.
Great work! I'm looking forward to the next installment
Finally, a new video!
Good to see you back.
Holy crap this is a fantastic video!! You deserve way, way more subs
1 YEAR I swear to god you’ll be huge do this more often fam I’m dying to see mroe
Thanks! A weekly post is impossible because I do everything myself, so it takes months for this kind of production.
Uncivil History jeez if you can do something smaller scale it’s cool litterally This was so will done and so vivid I’m so mad you don’t have anymore videos😂 I’ll deadass binge watch just these two
@@UncivilHistory omg really?
Hi
been waiting for this for a while
Glad you're back!
Ok welp see you all in a year or two. Thanks for the vids UnCivil!
The quality of the content you make is beyond the word valuable, I thought your account was dead I received a notification for this video. If it takes you this long to make this from of great content. Keep doing it!
Thanks so much for the encouraging words!
I love these animations
Hey man these videos are really good. I,hope you continue to make them
I like the Total War Diplomacy screen. Nice touch, it didn't go unnoticed!
Haha this comment made my night :) good to see another Total War fan up here
I'm going to subscribe with hope that one day you'll continue this project. Over 4 million views in your first video this channel could be a massive success. I hope all is well in your personal life.
Springfield was also one of these towns. Now the largest city in western New England
History like this is so interresting and stinking complicated. This war started because of lies, misunderstandings and cultural differences from all sides. Pinpointing the bad guy is quite difficult. And boy do I like finding the bad guy of a war!
I couldn't agree with you more! That's what makes history so interesting; people do things for a plethora of reasons, and nobody does evil for evil's sake. The Anglo-Pequot War is a great example of things gone wrong in a tragic way.
@@UncivilHistory why you censor my previous comment?
@@jeremykaleschenkoikov6993 Did I? I'm not sure I did! Sorry if I did, it was not intentional. What was the comment? Please feel free to write it again I really don't remember censoring it :(
This is awesome thanks for the real history I’d love to learn more!
Great video. Thanks for the hard work.
BROOO PLEASE POST MORE! WEEKLY I DEMAND IT
I can't wait when part 2 is coming.
Hi! I'm a student and this is my assigned research topic. Thank you so much for explaining it well! This is so useful.
Incredible. I hope you didn't give up in this channel
Great video. I just discovered this and subscribed only to check for other videos and find only two, yearly it seems. Hope there's gonna be more.
Happy Thanksgiving Americans.🇺🇸
From 🇬🇧
This is outstanding work. Pronunciations matter about as much as a mask in times where it’s uncommon to show one’s face. I digress.
Outstanding and beyond a comprehensive synopsis with excellent details for an overview account of an incredibly important conflict in world history.
Secondly, you did title this work “part 1”. It doesn’t promise anything and I get that it’s tough work as well as time consuming but, part 1 and the fact that this is excellent, sort of implies and attempts to owe us, your subscribers, the part 2, you know that you totally have within you. Part 2’Boom BAI Yay!”
C’mon man,
Anyways…
I’m a huge fan but, you’re in risk of being Sandy Koufax. The best ever seen but, seen seldom or not enough. Randy Moss to a lesser extent. We believe in you
Glad to see you posting! I subscribed to your channel a while back, based solely on the strength of your singular video about Thanksgiving. Keep up the good work and don't be such a stranger between posts. BTW, do you animate your own videos? What software do you use? Just curious. Take care and enjoy your holiday. :)
Thank you! Yes I use Harmony Toon Boom to create my animations, and I do all of it myself (that's why it takes so long for me to upload). I will be trying to upload quicker from now on :)
@@UncivilHistory I appreciate the content you make, and I must ask, do you make these by yourself, or is "Pani" a team or group of sorts?
@@UncivilHistory Wow, that is a lot of work! Cool that you are an artist AND a historian, though. I appreciate the level of work that you put into your uploads. Please, keep at it. Take care and happy holidays! 😁👍
@@thexman-jk4ht Haha Pani is one man, it is my name. That is why it takes so long; I do it all myself.
I love the animations, it reminds me of the point-and-click adventure games of the 90s.
this animation is amazing.
I've never seen anything like it!
I grew up in the town where the first massacre took place, Mystic CT. Not once was the story of the massacre of the Pequots ever mentioned in school. There had been a statue erected in honor of the guy who lead the attack on the Pequots, John Mason, but it was rightly taken down in the 90’s. The Pequots have their own casino now, as do the Mohegans.
So i checked 2 weeks ago and notifications were on, I'm just now seeing this video because CZcams disabled my notifications. They really do play favorites, I've been waiting years for this vid
Enjoyed the history and the art!
Thank you so much!
This content is so good, when will the next vid be?
bro idk why you dont get more views, this is quality shit.
I knew I didn't subscribe without reason. I was expecting more excellent quality content.
The animation is amazing.
Subscribed. I lived in that area in Southern Mass and RI for a few years. I started studying the history of the natives of that region when we did not have internet at home yet.
Awesome! The history of Southern New England is gripping; better than any drama show. Stay tuned for Part 2 of the Pequot War Series!
Cool video, see you guys next Thanksgiving
Omgggg he’s baaaaaackkkkkkkk ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I like this channel, keep it up
Nice. I really think you can be a decent size history channel on CZcams. Your videos are both informative and very good art quality.
Thank you! But that's the difficult part about becoming a decent size history channel; it's much easier to make half-baked animations with much less research. I am trying to make the BEST possible videos, so serious learners can learn and be entertained. Because I am one person, it makes it all the more difficult. But comments like your are encouraging, so thank you! I will keep it up :)
history is so much more interesting and enjoyable this way.
I know, right??
Can't wait to see how this pans out!
This channel will boom if he continues doing videos
Fantastic stuff man
Fantastic!
Oh geez
Oh my it's finally out
You grace us with your presence
Very good animation. What software was used to create it?
Great video!
Ay ur back
brilliant video!
It’s already been more than a year. We want part 2 to come soon, and a different upload schedule. This yearly one video upload is kind of ridiculous, especially for this kind of channel.
Since the animation is so amazing I could understand like a bi monthly upload schedule but once a year is just unheard of
What a great channel. Is there any point in me subscribing or is it just going to be the two videos? Because it's really good stuff.
Thank you for your comment! I have finished my next video, I am just waiting on the Pequot Nation to respond and I'm trying to build a website to go with the release! Life is tough right now so I have been slow to release and I apologize! But I promise you: more videos are coming, 1 should be here in a matter of a week or so!
@@UncivilHistory Awesome. I'll subscribe. I hope your situation improves.
Looks like the notification bell finally paid off
Finally a video about my ancestors the Pequot tribe.
I doubt your Pequot
@@Talktopics2000 Doubt all you like. That's my ancestry.
Wow, very talented, sir!
More More!
The animations 😍
So sorry! I am running behind on Part 2 one due to life getting in the way...it will be coming soon! I am working on it as we speak
This animation is sick !
i love the music you make, please create a soundtrack
Amazing animation.
MORE VIDEOS!
Oh boy, its that time of year
So sorry! I am running behind on Part 2 one due to life getting in the way...it will be coming soon! I am working on it as we speak
So, what is it about John Stone that makes people think he's worth avenging again?
