I love how people only watch shows to pick apart the history. My ancestors were on the Mayflower and I am proud of the brave people who had enough bravery to make the voyage. God bless America 🇺🇸

At least 8 of my mother's ancestors were on the Mayflower. One of the reasons for their making landfall was the need for water. That first winter half of them died from various illnesses that probably were new to them. They brought illness from Europe and appear to have been impacted by those found in America. The abandoned native village they first inhabited had been abandoned due a plague in the village.

Thank you William Bradford for all your efforts . RIP

If you ever get to the area around Oxford, go to Old Jordan to see the Mayflower Barn. The timbers match the description of the beams from the Mayflower, including the repair on the beam mentioned here. You can also see the Meeting House used by the Quakers and see the graves of many of William Penn’s family. That is part of one of the Girl Scouts’ three Old World New Dreams routes in England. When ships were no longer seaworthy, they were often sold to build barns.

The Pilgrim Fathers' trip symbolizes religious freedom and discovery. Their daring crossing of the Atlantic and founding of Plymouth Colony changed American history. This story highlights the struggles and tenacity that shaped a new planet. 🇺🇸🗽🌎

William Bradford was my great grandfather & I’m so proud of his vision & what he established in America’s earliest days.

My mother's family came in 1635 on the Increase. Yes God bless them for coming and God bless America.

Boston born we lived in-between Plymouth and Boston on the coast, I've always been keenly aware of the native before us, almost every street name was Indian, many towns names have Indian names, there everywhere.

Mistake in the documentary. The image of the Mayflower is flying the Union Jack. The Act of Union did not take place until 1707.

Fortunately yet ever so brief that is. The fairy tale falls apart when you start dissecting the story from myth, lies and misinformation! ❤️👏🧐🧑‍🎨♾️

My ancestor, Moses Fletcher was aboard the Mayflower and one of the signatories of the Mayflower Compact. He was a blacksmith by trade. He was related to my grandpa, Albert Washington Fletcher on my maternal side. I never knew about this until the mid 70s, around 11/12 years old, when dusting a bookshelf at my Mom's and a book fell with a piece of paper falling out. I looked at it and said the Mayflower Manifest. I looked through the names and saw Moses Fletcher. Asking Mom about this, she said he was our relative but that paper was just a copy of the actual manifest.

One valuable piece of the puzzle they are missing is the fact that the Mayflower leaders held the seasons by the stars calculations. They did not just look around and hope they got planting right and were ignorant of this fact. They held the alignment of the seasons that some Indians held and that was one piece of the respected puzzle that quickly bonded them. As for the Indians, they were at war with each other for hundreds of years and were hunting each others tribes to kill or make slaves. This is what some tribes felt when they first saw the white man as they were cautious in dealing with them.

I recently found out that I'm related to Samuel Fuller and John Alden. Alden is my 10th great grandfather, and Samuel is my 9th great grandfather.

Some of my ancestors came over on the Mayflower. For being puritans some of them sounded a bit crazy to be honest. One almost was hung for mutainy while stranded on an island in the Bahamas after a shipwreck several years before The Mayflower.🤦🏼‍♀️ I read about people getting excommunicated seaveral times over. They were warriors though. They fought for this country in every war and worked on the underground railroad. They were amazing people.

They were NOT Puritans, they were Pilgrims. Two entirely different groups and colonies (Plymouth vs. Massachusetts Bay, respectively).

history is gray & complex because it is made by human beings who are likewise

We can also credit the Puritans for their belief in teaching boys AND girls to read. The practice of only educating boys was still prevalent in 1900 in England when my grandmother was a young girl. The Puritans expected everyone in their church to read the bible of their time. Teaching girls to read was quite a step forward and spread through other colonies over time.

Great documentary.

I am descended from the Rev Thomas Blossom who was a friend of Pastor Robinson. He did not make it to America and is buried in Leiden. Our family live in Queensland Australia.

Great. Thank you.

Plymouth Massachusetts 🇺🇸

Imagine living their time!

Bradford is Helen Hunt's ancestor...its on Who Do You Are.

What a load of nonsense. They were looking for freedom for THEIR religious beliefs. Anyone else's was witch craft, sin and evil.

How did the native Americans read and understand the pilgrims note about paying them for the spring planting seed later ? This is an earnest question

"some say .. since we are not in New York" (min. 18.30). This statement is utterly unhistoric. New Netherland only was taken by the English in 1664, and on that occasion named New York, 44 years after the arrival of the Pilgrim Fathers at Cape Cod.

They found a shipwreck...it seemed like no one had been here before ... ah, what?

What about the beer for the water was unfit to drink.

Great movie. Thanks for sharing. Take care and God Bless.

Great movie. White European people rock 🪨. Plymouth Rock….

Puritans persecuted? What a load of propaganda. During the reigns of Elizabeth or James I, name two - just two - Puritans who were burned at the stake or tortured.They lost some civil rights, precisely because they wouldn't conform to the Anglican church, which was horribly sinful in their eyes. This rigid sanctimony made them quite unpopular and actively disliked - they banned Christmas, forbade dancing, tore down Maypoles, outlawed gambling and card games and theater performances, and would have turned England into a theocracy. They sought refuge in Holland, but the Dutch were too sinful for them. As for religious freedom in the New World, that's a damned lie. They wanted freedom for themselves, not for Quakers or Anabaptists or heaven forbid Catholics. They were horrified by Indian polygamy and polytheism whereas the Indians were astonished at how cruel they were to children and animals. The best that can be said about them is that they prized literacy.

The Description says 1650?

William Bradford was an ancient ancestor of mine.

Words of the Mayflower Compact> ukposts.info/have/v-deo/qGJkm3xwoYeVz4E.htmlfeature=shared. The Geneva Bible is also iconic of the Mayflower.

If there were only 102 passengers, and they arrived in mid November how did people die every day till March? Who wrote this?

Thank heavens for our colonial ancestors who made this place what it is. Everyone here is far better off than they would be otherwise.

It pays to be a winner!

It was the beginning of what was inevitable. Evolution.

The Native Witch Doctor seemed a bit saucy in this documentary

Jamestown schooled plymouth. 1607

There were others here before they arrived. Some folks are direct descendants of the Puritans and they believed in literacy for both men and women which was not common back in England. The French were already here and were known to have gotten along better with the Indigenous nations and much of our language is indigenous based. Majority of roads today in Connecticut and the other New England states are the original native trails. Going back to the 1300's over what became Michigan, corresponds with what would become the fight for independence, eventually, with many different wars and conflicts. The Ulster Scots and Germans, all in the Appalachia region had a direct say in the war of Independence. The Dutch were here long before then, in the large NYC and Connecticut region too . Of course, I only barely touched what was happening, including what is now New Brunswick and Canada.

I bet there homes where no where that nice the first couple year's,hey great great great great great grandpa you made it.😊😊😊

Go Sox!

i used to move furniture for mayflower van lines. where's my reparations 🤷🏻‍♂️

24:18 pilgrims were the original squatters 😅

The narrator says that on the first Christmas there was little celebration because of the sickness. Actually the Pilgrims did not celebrate Christmas.

Great documentary it’s too bad the Native Americans represented in this film were malcontent. I have several Native American friends that love America and White people.

Plymouth in "Every State", well, not in Oregon.

Puritans are pilgrams that broke away. I just looked it up..

WE didn't land on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock landed on us.

Why don’t most documentaries about the European immigration to the United States rarely if ever mention that the Spanish were first then the French. They usually just start with the Mayflower of the Pilgrims & Puritans. It’s an Anglo-English narrative. Spain & France were there before England & also can’t forget the Dutch & Swedish also Russia with Alaska.

who's that Indian calling a " liar"? he's the liar

I am so very thankful to God that the Pilgrims saw the wisdom of establishing Plymouth Colony as a republic instead of a democracy as many of you people continue to call it. I also thank God that the founders of the United States also saw, and followed the same wisdom. I am grateful that you conceded the importance of writing the Mayflower Compact, and successive laws. Writing endures. Memories fail. I thank God for Bradford, Massasoit, Standish, Squanto, saints, strangers, and Wampanoag and the others whose charity allowed Plymouth Colony to thrive.

Come on Gil, Get over it. Yes you have cause to be mad but if this series of events had different people from different countries, you probably wouldn't be speaking out today.

William Brewster descendant! 👋

Rights for everyone but that only includes men! Who spoke up for the women?

My family is descended from Bradford’s second wife.

Because the English pilgrims were the ones with the courage fortitude and perseverance to forge this land into a mighty nation!

I expected “Real History” to be about HISTORY….this is a religious evaluation, not historical.

So different from the later radical Puritans, who should never have been allowed to set foot upon these shores.

It's funny that the indian suggests that "they lied from the very start". Indians notoriously have no records, so we really cant know anything about that situation other than what was noted by the settlers.

The Indian man I understand he’s pissy but that was long ago

Definitely not comparable to going to outer space 😂😂😂 but okay

🇺🇲🗽⚖️

I have a wild question... as humans have been on the earth at the same time, why didn't the Americas (North, South, and Central) have the advanced inventions? I know that the Spanish came in and wiped out lots of South American tribes and some of the North and Central American tribes beginning in the 1400s but why? Why did they not have the ships and steel and the advancements that won out? No one ever explains why Asians and Europeans advanced technology while other continents did not continue to advance. It's not raw intelligence of one race versus the other. I think we know that is not the case so why?

Hahahaha THOMAS PAVEY... 3 SHIPS...SOUND FAM?

Brilliant how history is portrayed by the modern educated.... The forgotten real history seems to be lost, all because it’s convenient....

If it weren’t for the Indians helping them out. Showing them how to plant and get through the winters they would’ve starved to death and not be where they were then. So a lot of credit has to be given to the Indians. Let’s not forget them.

I thought this was “real” history.

20:52 euroepan constitution not american.

When will my people accept that we lost the Conquest of America? The foreigners arrived, and beat us because we were divided as a people. If not the Europeans, it would've been us vs us. They did not do anything that we were doing to weaker tribes amongst our peoples. Look at the South Asian Indian in the video (48:44) looks like they are doing great for themselves. Why haven't our people progressed like these new immigrants?

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

The United States is great. I am so lucky that my forefathers came here. Tardy to the party they came in the 30s...p.s. I had a teacher who claimed to b related 2 William Bradford. He died in 1998.

Good history, shows the ground breaking concepts The world has benefited greatly. Unfortunately the migration of new groups swamped those who were nomadic people of Americas

IN GOD WE TRUST! GOD'S LAND. THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND. ST JOHN 3:16! ❤ JESUS IS RETURNING SOON! GOD HAS BEEN LEFT OUT OF HIS LAND IN AMERICA, BUT NOT FOR ETERNITY! HALLELUJAH! ❤️✝️❤️

This Indian woman at the 24:26 mm is very prejudiced and should not be allowed to state her opinion. Another biased video.

The ‘pilgrims’ didn’t colonize anything. Are you ignorant of the facts, or just choose the herd stance…

How come you people never mentioned that every explorer that landed here saw cooper colored people Webster’s definition of America, 1828✊🏿

15th, 16th, & 17th Centuries New World Americas.

And they should have known better than anyone that stealing is wrong

The Spanish: yeah, we been here about 155 years.

Thieves

The Mayflower had the best weed

To this day we are trying to convert people from there way of life, to what others believe is the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth...🐂💩 It's's blasphemy, all those who stalk others to convert others like missionaries should🔥 in whatever purgatory they believe in forever !

They wanted the freedom to discriminate against other religious people, which they couldn't do in Britain

Babylon came to make the new Babylon .. as so the Bible says

Holy shit…this was corny as all hell.

This documentary is so full of political correctness that it's sickening. Long live America and all Americans!

The Bible reloaded old testament number sixty three called the first thanksgiving from first Chronicles 16:8 to 36 and first Thessalonians 5,: 16 to 18 from the holy Bible king James version kjv published in 1611 and happy thanksgiving from Mr and Mrs. reverend Johnny Kennedy 🇻🇪🇻🇦🇺🇸🇹🇳🇷🇴🇲🇽🇲🇬🇯🇵🇮🇹🇮🇱🇮🇳🇩🇪🇫🇷🇬🇧🇪🇬🇨🇦🇧🇷🇦🇺🩴🩴🧸🍞🦍🦒🐘🦏🦙🦅🐊🦝🦊🐻‍❄️🐼🐻🐺🐯🦁

The colonization of the American continent stated nations like Santo Domingo,Jamaica, Puerto Rico and Cuba almost a hundred years before the British Arrived in this American continent. Spain was the first colonizar and not Britain. Today PuertoRico is being recolonized by a country that falsely calls itself democratic. PuertoRico suffers a tyrany dressed as a democracy.

Sounds greedy and selfish to me. Especially how they treated others Indians and other foreigners. Religion should have never been an issue but on one’s individual beliefs.

They came to burn women and get ignored by history for having nothing of virtue to leave us. Most were NOT pilgrims, and we know it. This blurb sucks.

United States of America was not created by the pilgrims themselves. it is far more complex than that. Some historians argue when exactly the US was officially made. Some say 1776, others 1812, and others after the Civil War (when the USA became UNITED finally). United States has ever evolved and ever changing. It is still disconnected. Not fully UNITED yet. We need a new name.

PLEASE do not add an r to idea. Please! Leave that to the Brit's.

You left out a word in your channel's name, it's the word FAKE which should be between Real and History. I've not come across a bigger pile of BS in ages!

This is woke garbage.

LOL in the first minute,you made some false assertions about my ancestors, you do NOT understand them. you have falsely stereotyped them and are applying modern thoughts to them which were not thier thoughts.
