Instead of triumph, they received yellow fever, cannibalism, death, destruction, and enslavement . Twitter: HobbiesofaVamp Tip Jar: ko-fi.com/hobbiesof...

Sounds like the plan didn't get beyond: 1. Arrive on the island 2. ??? 3. Hand the successful colony to the natives. I wonder how they planned to teach the natives when they themselves knew nothing.
Oh my gosh are you doing your homework little one? it seems so

I wonder how many descendants she has. Probable a whole lot of them too numerous to count now. Is it only me who objects to nature being assigned a gender only because there are a lot of boys and girls around who are for example afraid of mosquitoes and who are afraid of a whole lot of other things too while lying to themselves about that. After they spent way too much time reading comic books instead of doing their home work.

Why was there no mutiny or riot by the other prisoners, only phony talk saying they would? She was in jail for four months and had it good like being in a hotel.
While newspapers reported talk of a prison mutiny, it appears one never occurred. We could make the theories that the trial/her release occurred too quickly for prisoners to organize a riot or that the guards were very good at cracking down on dissent in the prison.
Love your informing video! What a stupid idiot bunch of men on the jury and a kangaroo court. Does France today still let women like her off for murder with worshipping and standing ovations?

Good video. I'm glad you added speculation as some things we don't know with absolute certainty.
Yeah, a lot of history is filled with maybes and not quite sures. If you find that lack of certainty interesting, you might like the latest vid on the theory that English refugees from the 1066 invasion created a colony in the Black Sea area.
It was brutally hot during the Custer Expedition. We have temperature records going back to the 1860's. You are being propagandized to believe the planet is warming because of man. Read "Crossing The Plains With Custer". Nothing but the daily journals of the participants.
