    Yo. @historo4031 please explain the very last slide at 1:15:06? It looks like some kind of pamphlet from the time but I either missed you talking about it or maybe it was meant to be left out. I really enjoyed this video and appreciate the time you spent on it :)

    The European Colonizers did the EXACT same thing that the Native Colonizers did: the difference is that where whites saw free land, farm land cattle geazing and gold, the Comanches, Aztecs, Mayan, Navajo, Anasazi... Saw water, wildlife and grazing for buffalo. People are people

    You say Texas became part of the Spanish empire right after LaSalle had landed there but that is not true. LaSalle landed in Texas in the 1600s and New Spain was established in 1535. So Texas was clearly part of the Spanish Empire before LaSalle started encroaching!😐

    • @nicholascastellano5106
      @nicholascastellano5106 Před 5 měsíci

      Yes and no. There were no Spanish settlements in Texas before La Salle, but Spain claimed it as part of their empire. Very hard to enforce your claims if the most presence you ever had was a failed expedition under Cabesa be Vaca

      Actually it was part of the Apache empire, which was conquered by and became part of the Comanche empire. That was the real state of affairs regardless of what Spain, France, or Mexico claimed. After Texas became a country they still had to fight both the Comanche, the Apache and the other native tribes in the area. Finally joining the United States ensured a large enough population to push everybody out.

    If US didnt migrate west the British or Spanish were going to migrate in so it was a race. Perhaps MD was the mindset that since the West was going to be civilized anyway it was better off the US be the one to do it first.

    I’ve been enjoying much of these excursions into American history that I have stumbled upon…
    But you certainly have a lot of nerve taking such liberty to mix your own bias into this episode - RE: Manifest Destiny
    I know that in our present age, the urge to tickle the ears and get ‘likes’ from the dummied-down masses is often a temptation too difficult to deny
    …which, ironically, gives the listener whose paying attention an illustration of said hypocrisy:
    Just because something FEELS good, doesn’t mean that it SHOULD be done
    And equally, just because fulfilling Manifest Destiny increased standard of living, doesn’t mean that it was not guided by a moral motivation
    Why were the Catholics who were making the Anglos participate in Catholicism & blind dogma any more morally superior than the Anglo who was spreading CHOICE; or even his own brand or dogma? The answer is - they weren’t… but I suspect that you are of some northern euro ethnic descent, you feel that you are entitled to self-indulgent bouts of self flagellation
    But you are not.
    You are not qualified, nor do you hold the credentials to post that ‘serotonin’ was the driving factor in the Anglos westward expansion…. And I would further speculate that your own godless lifestyle has blinded you from insight into exactly HOW men of God commune with the spirit. And if I’m wrong, and you consider yourself a man who attempts communication with the divine, why would you expect others speak in the same way that you do….? To say that ‘not one man said to his wife’ etc etc is pure conjecture being presented as solid history: you are calling Manifest Destiny a lie.
    This is exactly what we do NOT need in todays present age, as civilization around us heaves, and the masses try to pass off their own individual, sociably acceptable bias as some kind of keen, modern insight that escape the propaganda of generations past….. when in fact…. All that’s being done here, is indulging the propaganda of a new generation, and an even more current indulgence, lacking self-awareness
    Were the so-called ‘natives’ who arrived from the Bering Strait morally superior while displacing the ‘natives’ that they, in turn, came across? Did some indian tribe have more of a moral standing to displace another indian tribe, as opposed to the Anglo?? And if we are to perceive the Anglo as stealing these lands, than why arent we viewing the Hispanic who stolen it sooner, as thieves?? Or the Aztec or Apache as thieves, themselves??
    It always strikes me as such an intolerable prejudice, the way Euros (some more than others!) are singled out for doing exactly what everyone else was doing - for no other reason than their arrival into the Western Hemisphere via the Atlantic, as opposed to a more northwardly route, or eastern passage.
    Why is it so absurd to consider the legitimacy of the Anglos spiritual convictions - when we are forced to lend such consideration & respect towards the spiritual convictions and beliefs of the African, or ‘Native’ American indian?
    It’s so difficult to find an unbiased account of the history of man on this planet, without having to couple it with a lesson in the unique hypocrisies of the white man
    Anyone who is truly paying attention to our shared history can see…. There’s plenty of hypocrisy to go around for ALL
    So far, it’s been the success of that Manifest Destiny that provides so many with the safe-space to criticize it; if it would deserve any criticism, I would think that the first point…

      The babbling of nonsense is more likely to be found in the last seven words of your post. I will concede that a belief in God might bring some form of happiness to some people but the declaration that an actual god (certainly the God represented in the Christian Bible) is tied to anything at all is... well, you said it... nonsense.
