More Information
The drawn maps (by me not the pictures of actual ones) of early New York City I show in the video aren't an exact approximations to the real maps but an artistic representation of how it could have looked like.
1:44 Reprint of 1685 which is not a completely correct representation of the situation at the time. The border with New England had been adjusted to 50 miles (80 km) west of the Fresh River, while the Lange Eylandt towns west of Oyster Bay were under Dutch jurisdiction.
1:52 There was one close call with the natives when the Pavonia Massacre occurred and the Algonquian tribes joined the tribes already fighting the dutch. This however resulted in a Native American defeat after the Dutch sen reinforcements to the city.
1:59 I am calling it a city here however it was still quite small as the entire colony of new Netherlands (including New Amsterdam) had only about 8000 inhabitants,
2:03 Not all of those Africans where slaves by the time of British occupation (small population was free), however how many where free I was unable to find.
2:50 There was a period at the turn of the century that the slave population may have numbered up to 40% (number still very much debated) of the cities population however this changed after the enlightenment era, coming back down to 20%.
4:24 Including freed African Americans by the British during the war, which where technically suppose to be given back to their American owners.
8:00 Named as such because it was signed under a buttonwood tree.
8:02 First attempt in New York City I don't know if it was the first attempt in the whole country.
10:17 Ticker tape is a thin peace of paper holding the information of changing stock prices. Today its mostly confetti that is thrown out on to the parade and not ticker tape.
11:02 Beating out London.
11:16 Speakeasies where illegal/hidden bars that would sell alcohol during the prohibition era.
11:25 It can be argued that the great depression started prior to Black Tuesday in the farming sector and then other areas and the stock market was just an effect of all these other problems.
11:40 To be fare large amounts of anti immigration laws started before the great depression. Spoored up nationalism during and after the great war fueled anti immigrant sentiment. However there where laws extending this immigration block during the great depression as well and that's why I mentioned it.

I am sorry I wasn’t able to cover everything in the history of New York City specially the more recent stuff like the 2008 crash or 9/11 but due to time I can’t possibly cover everything and I recommend going to pick up a book in your local library if you want to know more.

Thanks for collaborating with me. And....well freaking done. Even old New York was once New Amsterdam, as you proved with this video.
avery well known fact in the benelux ;-)
less know, is that yankees , originated from 'Jan' Kees' , two very common Dutch names from the New Amsterdam time ;-)
Hi!
"Even old New York, was once New Amsterdam"
"why they changed it, I know not"

1:21 I somehow knew exactly what those braver designs are from, I guess what they were from, I googled it and I was right.
Thank you for a quick overview of NYC. I enjoyed your accent and how articulate you were. Great information!
You’re right christy
Cant say the same about how he pronounced Angoulême lmao
Excellent video! You hit the most important points in the history of NYC in less than fifteen minutes. Bravo!
5:10 1811?
7:15 Gangs of New York :D great movie
Your editing skills are amazing. You seriously deserve more subscribers. I'm actually learning from your channel.
10:00 I didn't know that about the Statue of Liberty, but it makes me love New York even more.
Well put together with lots of information and facts in such a short video! Great job!!! Can you do a video on how minorities help turn New York into what it is today? That would be something I would like to learn more about as like I did with this video. Me being a NYC native and still here, this was amazing to watch and listen to!!
As a native New Yorker my appreciation for knowledge is power !!
How do you define native ?
Absolutely amazing. Thanks so much for sharing!
Yes it really amazing
obviously a 15 minute video isn't going to be extremely detailed, but, AMAZING JOB. I just watched Knowledgias version of NY's history and it was horribly wrong and painted a distorted narrative. Thank you for keeping the facts straight. I also watched your other videos like Mexicos Independence, and you're a good historian. Keep up the good work. :)
Fantastic video! Very informative!
Enjoyed the video :)
Beautiful video!
I almost never comment but I gotta say I'm impressed man, nice work 🙏
Love Your Videos :) :) :)
Great video! Lady Liberty's hand was actually on display down in Madison Square Park!
Great video, didn't realise when the Dutch founded New Amsterdam the Expedition was led by an Englishman. I'll remember that next time I encounter a rowdy Dutchman.
The Englishman worked for the dutch "empire" though.
I mean he worked for the dutch.
He worked for our country though
Thanks for a clear and simple documentary. The animated diagrams were helpful.
7:45 amazing picture
need it to my wall :)
8:08 and also realy nice maps i love those news/older
Came here when mr oversimplified mentioned you. This is good stuff 👍
Love it, subd
Interesting! I would love to see more history Videos of US cities.
Nice video. Now a few suggestions! Start with a larger scale map of the area for people not familiar with the NYC geography. Add dates/year text overlay into the video.
And, most importantly, it sounds like you're just reading from a script. It *sounds* uninterested, but you wouldn't be making this video if you were. Put in some emphasis! You wouldn't make this video if you didn't enjoy history, and I wouldn't be watching it if I didn't. But it did sound dry and read from a script.
Just my drunken opinion. Loved the vid and keep it up!
It'd be great as well if you could add subtitles
I thought it was presented well.
dtrmp4 yeah, the information is interesting, but the narrator sounds bored as hell.
@@GuadalupePicasso7:30 1863 draft riot ?

Great city profiles. Subscribed! Will you do the San Francisco Bay Area soon? I'm from here, but on a recent trip North to Fort Ross in Sonoma County, I learned for the first time that that fort was named after the Russians who made it this far South from Alaska. Apparently, they are what lit the fire under the butts of the Spanish to hurry up and establish a presence out of feeling threatened. But the Russians were never actually interested in establishing a colony after all, they just wanted to trade and collect furs from the Natives. The name of the Russian River nearby made a lot more sense after that.
your voice is so calming!
I have no idea if that's sarcasm but if not you're literally the first person to say that.
M. Laser History no haha i mean it! you have a very sweet voice 🥰
great video
As a New Yorker, great summary of the history, but I have to disagree with Mr. Beat’s “hopeful” out look of NYC. Due to a resurgence of a Tammany Hall like entity in New York, ineffective legislation (such as bail reform) has seen an uptick in crime causing many residents to leave the city. This also was assisted by the new work from home movement brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic in the beginning of 2020. Streets were left nearly empty outside large transportation hubs such as Penn Station. This eventually caused people to realize that paying high rents (over 2500 USD per month for a studio apartment that is the size of a shoe box) and additional NYC income taxes was not worth it for many. Thousands of professionals and office workers flocked to the suburbs of Long Island, New Jersey, Connecticut, and upstate NY. This resulted home prices to skyrocket. For example in my home of Long Island, homes were approximately 250-300k USD on average 10 years ago. Now, the current price is approximately 550k - 700k USD. This increasing trend in housing prices is prevalent throughout the entire USA (if not world), but it is especially prevalent in NYC and surrounding communities. So no, my outlook on the future of NYC is not positive or optimistic. New York needs strong leadership for the governorship and the city’s mayor.
Id rather get aids than ever move from nyc to long island. Your insane.
Excellent 👌
crazy how 12:54 the crime ridden relic of history pic is called Dumbo today. Anyone that lives in that area is probably wealthy and makes upwards of 500k a year or more.
If I’m not mistaken, Dumbo stands for “Down Under the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridge Overpasses”, or something along those lines?
Do a video on LA history
Yoooooooo this random dude has me beat on here???? Oh I’m in
A certain event in 2001 seems to have been forgotten
It’s everywhere on the internet, it’s nice to actually have a video that simply references it rather than having a whole section about it like many others
1:14 what an interesting coincidence
Rutherford wrote"New York" great historical novel going back to New Amsterdam
I love that book!!!
The picture of Dumbo is crazy when looking at that area today
Love the video, however you could have made the video a bit longer, describing the history of the other three boroughs.

@@MLaserHistory Thanks, for pointing me to where I can find your sources. It would be helpful for other viewers to see this right in your video description as well. There are actually a couple of issues you bring up in the video that I want to dig more into, and maybe others might feel the same. I'm not sure what direction you want to take your channel toward, but if one of the goal is to spread learning then making sources easy to reference would be very helpful. Thanks!
1:55 Dutch imported slaves into New Amsterdam (New York) and they became 20% of the population!!!! It stayed this way after the British conquered it.

New York is the strongest city and most well known from sad and dangerous events
Rock Chalk, Mr Beat, Wichita 😍 you!
I mean - I would've guessed that they named New York after York in the UK rather than the Duke of it
Yes the duke was the duke of York, York is a city in England one of the most important cities of England for 800 years, who ever controlled that city was basically the king maker, so the king promised his brother a present in the new world, and when they took new Amsterdam they called it a New York in honour of James duke of York, the old York, so yes it's kind of named after the city aswell because York was such a. Important city

That's not Rockefeller Center, you pointed to 500 Fifth Avenue.
Yeah I know correction in the description.
