Thank you. Fall of Civilizations is my favorite history channel because of the subject matter, the storytelling style, and Paul Cooper's voice! I've listened to all the episodes at least 5 times. They are great to listen to, fall asleep to, and wake up to.

Dr. Olsson’s historical context contributions and interpretation of the game are much appreciated. His discussion on the discrimination of Sicilian immigrants in New Orleans is critical history and ugly truth (i.e. the 1891 lynchings after the murder of David Hennessy), but I am a tad surprised that he does not mention the early mafia families that were operating in the city since around the time of the American Civil War. 56:43, The Bronte outfit of Saint Denis reminds me of the Matranga family of New Orleans. Perhaps I am mistaken, but the existence of a mafia in the Big Easy was more of a reality than just anti-immigrant paranoia. But, to Olsson’s point, the specter of the mafia (at least at that time) was overshadowed by discrimination and racism by the white established folk. The Matrangas and other early mafiosi (Agnello, Macheca, etc.) of New Orleans probably lacked the political clout that Angelo Bronte wields in Red Dead Redemption II, but they were certainly a force to be reckoned with. In any case, I thought it was worth mentioning. Thank you!

This was a sick episode.... She tortured people and that women is giving her a feel good story and your buying into it

In all the years I've been on RUclips Paul Cooper's podcast has been far and away my favorite, and content of the very highest caliber. Nothing else here comes anywhere close to it.

This dude is a raging pro vaxxer who will censor you if you disagree.

I iust bought the book, very curious. The podcast is just marvelous.

1858 is crazy

Excellent. Jean-Jacques Rousseau died on July 2, 1778. The second anniversary of US Independence. 5:15

for people labeled as "progressives" this is such a hypocritical stance.

So you're saying we should bring the trend up? Honestly, phrasing.

I agree with some of the other people in the comments that this conveyed a weird message. But maybe "weird tone" is a better way to put it, especially at the end where you said, “political violence has been a part of American history for a long time.” It felt like you were implying that political violence is an American thing, like apple pie, instead of being a flaw of human nature that enlightened civilizations have to constantly combat.

You realize it was frightening then too right?

Are you actually downplaying this, you despicable ghoul?

Thank you for this history lesson.

Was his name Bill?

Lack of continuity, poor pacing, weird message.

This is such a wierd take.

This dude is a jackass

You are speaking as if you condone the attempted assassination. Are you?

I love Dr. Franklin's insights and analysis. Thanks for Humanizing things that are part of my culture that in the past would have never been given any analysis by mainstream.

Paul's voice and timbre, pace and inflections are soothing to the ears. His videos are amazingly produced. He has really surrounded himself with pros.

May I request a future episode with Dr. Franklin and Jordan Sloane eating chard?

Hi, Ben! I'm a bit perplexed: your dress is exactly as it should be: from the 18th century, as YOU are. But you have 21st century books in the background! And a very 21st century bookshelf and wall. How are such historical incongruities possible in space-time?

Hows it a myth that black confederates like Levi Miller were real? Plus confederate order 14.

Greetings, Ben, from the Scarlet Pimpernel himself! Where, by the way, did you purchase your shirt? If I may ask? Having arrived with Dr. Who's TARDIS, I'm in need of one with ruffles....I now having unfortunately to use clip-ons, along with a regular 'pirate shirt', on my own videos, to reach this 21st century audience.

Biden doesn't want to win that's why he's doing nothing good. He doesn't what a woman take his place. We love Kamala. But there are people that don't want a woman in office.

Wow! Never knew about this place until today, 6/20/24, Tariq Nasheed mentioned in one of his interview on RUclips!

I can’t stop laughing! Never expected to tune in to 12 year old Ben Franklin and his apparent blood brother Jordan tonight! 😂🔥😂🔥😂

✊🏾🇺🇸As a gay black man who has served in the military , I can clearly say , It’s no longer about rights but recruitment and socialist ideology propaganda tool. I’m tired of being used as a pawn. My sexual identity does not define me. Nobody cares what hole I prefer nor do I care to share it..

lol Reddit = the library of Alexandria

Today I received my signed copy of the book. I am so happy to read through the stories, sending was really rather quick.

Again, Victoria you have shone your beautiful light so brightly to our world. LOVE all your work! Making #JonesCountyMS proud :)

It took many years and loved ones from me but 8 years of sobriety later i believe its behind me now.

Gin was my first drink, was also my last. I look in awe at those who consume in moderation

You need to look into what is going on with your audio. My laptop volume is maxxed, and the RUclips volume is maxxed, and it is quite hard to hear you. I'm at home with the window open, birds chirping, the occasional car...it isn't due to ambient noise around me causing problems, and it isn't a problem with any other video on RUclips that I've played today.

Paul Cooper is a hero of mine. As someone like myself who has been into history since my early teens, his podcasts are a revelation. There’s so much trash on YT regarding historical events, Paul’s approach joins the relatively few that take a serious and knowledgable approach while never for a moment being boring or overtly academic. Brilliant!

I drank some gin for the first time last year made me sick af😩

@ 59:31 I have an ancestor James Rogers who participated in the First Seminole War with Andrew Jackson. Later he arrived to Texas became ranger fighting Comanche there. It fascinating you mention the Seminole migration west and South in Mexico. It just so happens James Rogers brother-in-law General Edward Burleson Sr, an uncle of mine, who was also a settler, had sons that participated in the Callahan filibustering expedition into Mexico in 1855, ostensibly to attack Indians but this was really a slave-catching expedition. Anyways there was running battle against the Seminoles that were living there in Mexico. The Texans were outnumbered so they torched the bordering town of Piedras Negras to extract themselves from defeat and to secure their crossing the Rio Grande. The Seminoles at this time were like this buffer that augmented Mexican forces against not only the Comanche threat but Texans as well. I thought that was neat. Hearing about their history in Florida but also putting context to the history of Texas and Mexico and my genealogy.

Fun and as a native Floridian, interesting listen too! Worth the price of admission to to see his reaction to Lynn being vegan! Unlike your guest, I grew up in Florida in the 50’s and 60’s and with the changes I’ve seen, have no desire to ever return there. 😂. Let’s go have a Beyond Burger Lynn!

New México? Texas etc😮

For all Dr. Cooper's talents, his voice is simply magnificent for the medium, fills me with envy! On a more serious note, I simply admire his work, great interview.

I have my signed copy. Amazing work that has filled many hours of my life. The Aztec saga remains my favorite. Thank you, Paul Cooper.

Time for you guys to treat yourselves to the alternative history research by the Rising Tide Foundation, and Canadian Patriot Matt Ehret and his wife, Cynthia Chung. After enlightening myself to the influence of the British Empire on American and Canadian history ..... the class struggle in The Free State of Jones absolutely made sense to me. Richard Poe and Sean Stone are also doing incredible research on the "hidden hand" of British Imperialism throughout our American history; and the histories of France, Russia, Germany, etc. It has been the equivalent to having an epiphany .... for me.

Oh God I'm sorry. I realize you meant their ages. 29 and 19. Not 1929 the year. I'm just jaded from hearing mistakes like that so often. My bad. Would love to read your book

1929??? More like 1729 please get the century right. TOO MANY HISTORICAL TALKS DO THIS OVER AND OVER

I like Abigail but would not have wanted to make her mad😂

One thing that most people have no understanding about is modern agriculture and the revolution in seed breeding that is adapting quickly to environmental changes.

You know I had to come watch this after watching Franklin! 😂. Great video! Thanks!

Quite enjoyable! Thank you!
