My grandson is the sixth generation to live in the home place in Tennessee. The family came here around 1875 from Texas in a covered wagon. There's a wedge and peg wardrobe that was broken down and carried here in that covered wagon that still stands in the two story farm house. They set up a saw mill in the back field and the home was built from the trees from the land. We have an original saw blade with the home painted on it that still hangs in the home. I was married to the fourth generation and brought my son, fifth generation, home from the hospital where my son still lives and works the land with his family. I love the history and the lifestyle. It still amazes me the strength of the pioneers.
I was fortunate to meet my great, great, great grandma at the age of ten, she was a tiny lady from the 1818 era, she carried a beautiful beautiful smile 🥰
Growing your own garden, your own little orchard, and raising your own chickens, ducks and other smaller farm animals, and a wood burning stove inside the house. Clean air, and all food is organic and clean. What a wonderful world that must have been. 🌎 No traffic, no pollution, no annoying noises. Wow.
It was wonderful and promoted family unity and excellent work ethics. If we didn’t work, we literally could not eat, since we grew/produced everything that was on our table except sugar, salt, coffee and ketchup. This is no small task for a family of nine, which included grandparents.
No plumbing; no flushable toilets; no clean water; no antibiotics; no birth control or women's rights (which the US is going back to, sadly); no electricity; no washing machines; no refrigerators; no cable; no internet; no grocery stores; and your "little organic garden" is overrun with rats and other vermin. Hmmm...where do I sign up?
In second and third grade I went to a two room school house. There were several horses grazing outside that the kids had ridden to school. In my late teens I ran a thirty mile trap line taking muskrat, beaver and mink. I've been to two rendezvous selling my pelts. I broke wild horse to saddle and shot just about every handgun made and several derringers. The house I grew up in was built before electricity and indoor plumbing. I'm 72.
I would love to be able to travel back in time to the 19th century. To be able to meet the people and experience life at a much slower pace would be something.
I watched many times “somewhere in time”, it is a pinch of what it was, but I think that was the beginning of the 1900s, if I am not mistaken. Of course I know the implications of living at that time. I like to shower at least twice a day. And the winter wasn’t for the faint of heart.
These knuckleheads who "wish" they lived back then would be crying and begging to be back here in less than 10 minutes. They just don't realize how much they'd miss all of our conveniences. We take everything we have now for granted.
You'd better believe it! The last time I went at night to my Grandparent's outhouse at Christmas in rural Minnesota in 1972, I sat on a hole in a frozen outhouse fully clothed, including an overcoat & snow shoes. Dang, that was cold.❄❄
Sure it was only $10 to get your film developed and a new roll of film installed but $10 in 1890s was equivalent to $330 today, so not many people were doing it.
The house I grew up in was built in 1880. I delivered papers to even older apartment buildings in the 1960s. I looked on Google Earth a couple weeks ago and every single one of them is still there!
My great grandparents in 1880 wagon down from Wisconsin to North Platt, Nebraska, after 20 years of hard work they had 5 farms, an ice house. My grandmother was #12 born 1898. The stories she and my antes and uncle’s it was living history. My GGFather built a sod home where they lived for 3 years.
My gpa was born in 1881. He was still using a mule & a horse team to plow his 40 acres when he was in his 60's. He also raised grains to make his own feed. I wished i couldn't learned more from him!
My grandparents were born in the 1880s, and my great grandfather died in 1933, and he was a Civil War soldier. Most of the greatest people were born in the 1800s.
No argument that there were many, many great men and women born in the 1800's. A great many also in the 1900's as it was the greatest generation who won the 2nd world war for America. The sacrifices made by these great people have allowed us to live the lives we have. Their courage was amazing and shall never be forgotten.
My grandfather lived in a mining town in Colorado. Slow? He worked 60 hours per week in the mines from the time he was 14. The valley was so steep that he only saw the sun on Sunday (he thought that it was called Sunday for that reason). The whole town stunk of excrement and was ruled by the religious right. His Father abandoned the family so his Mother took in laundry and borders. Great life. Get another fantasy. Oh, no guns were allowed in town. The sheriff took them when you arrived in town and gave them back when you left. There were no gunfights.
It’s not a fantasy. This is real. I do know that my ancestors had a rough lifestyle as well, but not every family had that same upbringing. Out here in Arizona, in the 1800’s, to say the very least, it was not at all like Colorado. It’s called the Wild West for a reason. I think the things that everyone misses is the styling, the massive growth of inventions and the feeling of everything being possible due to the freedom gifted to us. We don’t have as much freedom anymore. We also don’t have class or culture anymore, and trust me, this video is a 100% cultural beginning for American European immigrants. Your grandfather seems like a hard working man with a good sense of humor…have you ever stopped to think that maybe he was okay with that lifestyle and that is why he stayed? Because my family traveled a LOT and found what life they wanted despite the ongoing attacks from the natives and unpredictable weather.

1958+1981; i remember being raised in rural southwestern Wv (Wayne County). My dad used mules or horses to pull logs out of the woods to saw on a sawmill. My dad owned and operated a mill and sawed mining supplies and rough lumber for building homes. He also used the animals for plowing and hauling . It was a poor rough life and there was 8 of us children to be fed and clothed.

I really feel bad for native americans. They own the land yet immigrants stole it from them. Until this day, native americans didn't get back their former glory. This is heartbreaking.
It was white people from the east that migrated here first. They came across over the south pole and down through what is Canada. That was before the Indians came down the Western route. Either way. There were no land contracts or boarders because they were nomad squatters. The land wasn't settled and surveyed into states and parcels to form ownership until the white man did it years after.
It’s nice that you have a kind heart. But the “native” Americans weren’t native. As you said, they were immigrants also. They commonly drove other tribes off of land that they wanted. They didn’t own the land. You can’t steal something that isn’t owned. I get your point, they lost their lifestyle. But that was inevitable. Any large continent that is sparsely populated, was going to be populated by other people. You see today people migrating across the globe. It may not be right, but it is, unfortunately, inevitable.
Indians were not here first. Nobody is "native" or "indigenous" on the American continent. The Indians came later, across the Bering Land Bridge from Siberia. The earlier inhabitants -- ALL of the oldest skeletons-- were not Indians. I don't "feel bad" for Indians who came later and wiped out those who were here before them. They did not "own" any land, either. They were migrants. Tribes, who murdered and enslaved each other.
Fast forward 143 years, the citizens of American have it so good that they can make a career out of living in a box on the sidewalk, yet there's more grievance than ever. Why is that?
My guess is it’s because of several factors. If you are working as hard, it’s probably because you feel like there’s something to work for. In the past, people worked hard for their families, and I bet that made them feel fulfilled. Now, look at the birth rates for the same demographics today. It’s barely meeting the replacement rate. That tells me far fewer people feel like they have something to work for, they feel like they’re just working to live while making minimal vertical progress that’s often overshadowed by inflation and rising house prices. I also think modern life styles doesn’t feel as natural as it did in the past. When we look up at the night sky, we don’t see the same stars they did because they’re drowned out by light pollution. We don’t wake up to a roosters call, we wake up to the sound of cars and our alarm. We have no privacy because our phones and computers consume our attention and harvest our data. Companies make money by selling our data to malicious actors like scammers who make sure to bother us with spam calls and texts. I think there’s a lot more to it, but factors like what I listed above add up. The more I think about it, the more I dislike about the modern world
In 1780, just a hundred years before 1880 there were only 13 colonies. Napoleon controlled the Louisiana basin. Spain controlled California and the southwest and Russia controlled Alaska. In a mere 10 decades the western frontier ceased to exist, the industrial age was born, there were 53 million Americans ..

Dont forget the gold standard had a lot to do with it too. Instead of our country paying interest on borrowed money from a cartel that prints it out of nothing we had gold where you hold the value instead of ever depreciating worthless bank notes.
@@josephineisgay141 Our health and life-spans got better because of plumbing, sewage treatment, childhood diet, adult diet and general sanitation. "Health care" barely moved the needle on life expectancy.
My Grandfather was born in 1870 Missouri. My ancestors arrived in 1619 on one side and a couple of years later on the other side. The Indigenous people didn’t stand a chance sadly.
But you have to admit the advances and developments the settlers brought from overseas certainly enhanced life throughout the U.S. I can’t imagine life was very good living in teepees in the open prairie in January. For the thousands of years the American Indian had the land of North America, they did very little with it. It’s the same with Africa, very little was done to develop that continent, yet the Middle East, China, and Europe made great advancements over thousands of years. All in all, we can all go back and long for the “Good Ol’ Days” of whatever culture we came from, but suffice it to say, here we are, for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, til death do us part! What you do with your life to help all of mankind hold it together in its present status and hold back the perils of chaos and collapse is our task and discover a way forwards. Let’s not waste the contributions and sacrifices our forefathers made to bring us to this year 2023, but rather thank them, honor them, and build upon the foundation they gave to us as our inheritance. Besides, the Lord God is bringing this world order to its logical conclusion. Jesus Christ will Return and judge us for what we have done, to those who believe Him and followed His commandments or eternal separation from God for those who refused to believe and follow the Lord Jesus. This is the true end of all things ever created. Be ready!
Yup how could they. They were still stuck in the palaeolithic age. Not even reaching the stage of settling down and churning the raw soil to grow plants in quantity

In the 1889s, Krakatoa blew and lowered the average temperature of three world for a few years. Snow in July is a good example why people added layers to their clothing. It was called survival.
Especially since our country was bankrupt in 1871 & they changed the constitution from 'We the people of the REPUBLIC OF the United States of America' to 'We the people FOR the United States of America'....the latter changed the USA to a corporation, next income tax on the ppl >>>not corporations. And then birth certificates >>>now traded on the NASDAQ! Search it out...look for Strawman.
The 1910's is as far back as I would want to live as a modern day person, but I bet the citizens living in the 1880's thought it was Paradice compared to people 100 years before them.
I'm 55 years old and born in 1969, my Dad was 42 and my mom was 39 when I was born and therefore making my parents born in the early 1900s. My grandparents were born in the 1800s. Strange to think about but also how quickly things changed
In the 1800s, people would work long hours in factories, farming, and other labor-intensive industries. Transportation was limited and travel was difficult. Education was not widely available for all, and healthcare was basic.
@30:09 narrator states, "As the South recovers from the straight-jacket of Reconstruction..." he should have continued with "It moved into the insanity of Jim Crow." I find it odd that Reconstruction would be considered a straight-jacket.
18:55 You may think they made fighters wear gloves to save the head and body, but it was in fact to protect the hands~ too many bare knuckle fights had to be called due to broken fingers and other hand bones~ and then then couldn't fight for a couple months. So they made them wear gloves for a more sporting fight, and the turn around for fighters halved or better.
The Statue of Liberty was first created to sit at the entrance of the Suez Cannel built by the Egyptian goverment but the prize was to costly after the expense of building the cannel so the French gifted it to the USA.
When America WAS America and no one complained about working for a living! They just got the job done, and that's what made a great country, we all pitched in!
Who's complaining about working for a living? People are complaining about working for a living without a living wage but of course people like you always talk with a forked tongue
My grandpa who's since passed told me about when he was a kid in Idaho during the great depression senators running for federal office in the state would go even to his small town of Pocatello to stump speech. Winning over 1000 people was enough to win the election the population was so small.
Thanks for the beef from your folks!! It takes a hardy people to deal with livestock in the crazy storms and rolling hills vs back then. I’d I love to try it but we just aren’t tough enough anymore.
Although it's incredible how America came about, it was a shame that, in the early days, it was to the detriment of native Americans and the slaughter of millions of buffalo. Let us not forget.
Bubba! Let me tell you something. My great pa pa was 10 in 1880 and he lived another 75 years. As a youngster I couldn’t believe the dog gone madness that was the 1880,s. We would sit and talk for hours! Dang sho did! RIP pa pa
My great grandfather was born in 1882. His father died in 1884. Delivered mail by horse and buggy on RR9 in Walesboro, indiana. Married great grandma Ruth and had himself delived to her by his co workers in a box on the mail wagon on their wedding day!

So much has changed in 130 years!! Politicians got greedier and more greedier. Life was much simpler and easier to keep the money you earn!! Thank God for Modern Medicine though!
The 1880s was a much harder time just to live. You worked for very little just to survive. There was no help. You either made it or you didn't. No air conditioning, no indoor plumbing. No toilet paper to speak of. People used things like advertising catalogs for that purpose. The sears catalog after it was read it went to the outhouse for toilet paper. No feminine products. Women had a very hard time then. Be careful about saying you would like to go back to that time.
I would love to know about the music in this video. There is no credit for it at the end. It's just that I recognise a piece of music that comes in at around 5:59 in this video.

I’m so proud of my European ancestors. Every group of people has done good and bad things. But the euros invented almost everything and were so innovative. I will never let people shame me about who I am and neither should you if you came from this also.
People back then felt their lives lasted longer and had gathered more journey and experience In this age of Instagram Tick tock & social media our life feels short and time passes too fast We are in constant state of stimulation and everyday feels the same and blends together I wish I could go back in time and live life like those times
Im reading 'Caroline: Little House, Revisited' by Sarah Miller and i just got this vid recommended to me. The book takes place in the 1870's but still, this gives me an even better idea of what the world was prob like around that time 👍🏻
If they would teach this history in schools today like they did back in the when I was an elementary student Jr high and high school..I really feel that today's youth would have a better appreciation for what the United States Of America is all about...
What everyone conveniently ignores is that what we asked for, on the Statue of Liberty, was only the huddled masses who were YEARNING TO BREATHE FREE. Not any other huddled masses. Any masses who were fine with being just as oppressed as they were back in Honduras, but who thought it'd be cool to have better stuff... They were not welcome.
They omitted the fact that there were electric cars during those times. Look up when the first electric cars were developed. Check images as well. Type in the year 1830.
You should be thanking the newcomers. They are the reason you are able to type on your keyboard, have lights, cars, air-conditioning, tv,radio, internet, etc. etc. all brought to you by the white colonizers😮
Seems to me they forgot some stuff like the oregon trail and the California trail. They didn't mention the civil war either. There was more then just the east coast.

Any large continent that is sparsely populated, was going to be populated by other people. You see today people migrating across the globe. It may not be right, but it is, unfortunately, inevitable.
Indians never owned the land and were nomadic.
Indians were not here first. Nobody is "native" or "indigenous" on the American continent. The Indians came later, across the Bering Land Bridge from Siberia. The earlier inhabitants -- ALL of the oldest skeletons-- were not Indians. I don't "feel bad" for Indians who came later and wiped out those who were here before them. They did not "own" any land, either. They were migrants. Tribes, who murdered and enslaved each other.
Fast forward 143 years, the citizens of American have it so good that they can make a career out of living in a box on the sidewalk, yet there's more grievance than ever. Why is that?
Some butthole named Karl Marx
My guess is it’s because of several factors. If you are working as hard, it’s probably because you feel like there’s something to work for. In the past, people worked hard for their families, and I bet that made them feel fulfilled. Now, look at the birth rates for the same demographics today. It’s barely meeting the replacement rate. That tells me far fewer people feel like they have something to work for, they feel like they’re just working to live while making minimal vertical progress that’s often overshadowed by inflation and rising house prices. I also think modern life styles doesn’t feel as natural as it did in the past. When we look up at the night sky, we don’t see the same stars they did because they’re drowned out by light pollution. We don’t wake up to a roosters call, we wake up to the sound of cars and our alarm. We have no privacy because our phones and computers consume our attention and harvest our data. Companies make money by selling our data to malicious actors like scammers who make sure to bother us with spam calls and texts. I think there’s a lot more to it, but factors like what I listed above add up. The more I think about it, the more I dislike about the modern world
In 1780, just a hundred years before 1880 there were only 13 colonies. Napoleon controlled the Louisiana basin. Spain controlled California and the southwest and Russia controlled Alaska.
In a mere 10 decades the western frontier ceased to exist, the industrial age was born, there were 53 million Americans ..
Isn’t it crazy, time moves so fast crazy to think it’s been 100+ years already since these great times which is mind boggling
In 1780, Napoleon was only 11 years old. He was First Consul in 1799 and didn't become emperor until 1804.
@@almighty5839 it is unnerving.. looking back from today (2023) its hard to believe that 1923 is literally a century ago and ww2 was three quarters of a century in the past already 😳
No income tax, budget surplus... The good old days
Please research Jason at Archaix as he will have all that you are missing in your historical info.
don’t forgot bad healthcare, horrible values, disease’ and most children dying before adulthood😊
Dont forget the gold standard had a lot to do with it too. Instead of our country paying interest on borrowed money from a cartel that prints it out of nothing we had gold where you hold the value instead of ever depreciating worthless bank notes.
@@josephineisgay141 Our health and life-spans got better because of plumbing, sewage treatment, childhood diet, adult diet and general sanitation. "Health care" barely moved the needle on life expectancy.

The Spanish settlers were the first in the new world America 🌎
No, Native Americans were first 😊@@albertdeleon6272
My Grandfather was born in 1870 Missouri. My ancestors arrived in 1619 on one side and a couple of years later on the other side. The Indigenous people didn’t stand a chance sadly.
But you have to admit the advances and developments the settlers brought from overseas certainly enhanced life throughout the U.S. I can’t imagine life was very good living in teepees in the open prairie in January. For the thousands of years the American Indian had the land of North America, they did very little with it. It’s the same with Africa, very little was done to develop that continent, yet the Middle East, China, and Europe made great advancements over thousands of years. All in all, we can all go back and long for the “Good Ol’ Days” of whatever culture we came from, but suffice it to say, here we are, for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, til death do us part! What you do with your life to help all of mankind hold it together in its present status and hold back the perils of chaos and collapse is our task and discover a way forwards. Let’s not waste the contributions and sacrifices our forefathers made to bring us to this year 2023, but rather thank them, honor them, and build upon the foundation they gave to us as our inheritance. Besides, the Lord God is bringing this world order to its logical conclusion. Jesus Christ will Return and judge us for what we have done, to those who believe Him and followed His commandments or eternal separation from God for those who refused to believe and follow the Lord Jesus. This is the true end of all things ever created. Be ready!
Yup how could they. They were still stuck in the palaeolithic age. Not even reaching the stage of settling down and churning the raw soil to grow plants in quantity
😢
It's hard for me to grasp that this was a mere 10-20 years before one set of my grandparents were born
It is a little weird we are nearly 1/4 the way through the 21's century and I was born in the mid 20th century I'm 59
@@durban64 me too for a few more months. Yes, it's weird that so much time has escaped. I remember as a kid giving out that I would be 36 when it would turn 2000. It seemed so far away! It sounded space aged.
Mine weren’t born until 30s and 40s but still crazy to think about
Stop the world. I wanna get off.
In the 1889s, Krakatoa blew and lowered the average temperature of three world for a few years. Snow in July is a good example why people added layers to their clothing. It was called survival.
3 of my grandparents were born in the 1880s and 1 in the 1890s so I was very interested to watch this, thanks for posting the video.
This was awesome. Thank you.
Idk why… but I love this type docu’s 🥸🤓
2:56 …..”where freedom and justice reign”. We’re quickly loosing it. I never thought I’d see our justice system one sided and our freedoms silenced.
@kingtutt61 Freedom and justice reigned depending on what color you were born, different times today thank God
Also wasn’t so free for the original Americans
Especially since our country was bankrupt in 1871 & they changed the constitution from 'We the people of the REPUBLIC OF the United States of America' to 'We the people FOR the United States of America'....the latter changed the USA to a corporation, next income tax on the ppl >>>not corporations. And then birth certificates >>>now traded on the NASDAQ! Search it out...look for Strawman.
Inner-city gangs & "Newcomers" are getting away with Ki||ing, & sexual violence, as long as they're a dark skin color.
The sky is falling, the sky is falling.
The 1910's is as far back as I would want to live as a modern day person, but I bet the citizens living in the 1880's thought it was Paradice compared to people 100 years before them.
Huge budget surplus... that was when America took off. '3 trillion that won't cost you a thing' what a disaster.
Extremely interesting! Thank you!
I'm 55 years old and born in 1969, my Dad was 42 and my mom was 39 when I was born and therefore making my parents born in the early 1900s.
My grandparents were born in the 1800s. Strange to think about but also how quickly things changed
This is one of my favorite history videos back when we were a good and proper country
In the 1800s, people would work long hours in factories, farming, and other labor-intensive industries. Transportation was limited and travel was difficult. Education was not widely available for all, and healthcare was basic.
All of what they used was ..at that time.. the best that technology offered.. TODAY IS NO DIFFERENT..200 years from now we'll look just as quaint
You forgot the rise of the skyscraper and then Gilded Age.
Fantastic documentary! Learned a lot.
i hate that there are no pictures before 1850...
That’s such a great point.
I guess we’d have to rely on the few paintings from then and before.
Just build a time machine to see what it looked like before that 🚀

@30:09 narrator states, "As the South recovers from the straight-jacket of Reconstruction..." he should have continued with "It moved into the insanity of Jim Crow." I find it odd that Reconstruction would be considered a straight-jacket.
well, racists gonna racist.
Must've been nice for you all, living in this time for me would be a nightmare. :(
Awesome video thanks…
18:55 You may think they made fighters wear gloves to save the head and body, but it was in fact to protect the hands~ too many bare knuckle fights had to be called due to broken fingers and other hand bones~ and then then couldn't fight for a couple months. So they made them wear gloves for a more sporting fight, and the turn around for fighters halved or better.
Was this done in the 70s? Because I would swear I watched this in a history class back then.
The Statue of Liberty was first created to sit at the entrance of the Suez Cannel built by the Egyptian goverment but the prize was to costly after the expense of building the cannel so the French gifted it to the USA.
When America WAS America and no one complained about working for a living! They just got the job done, and that's what made a great country, we all pitched in!
Who's complaining about working for a living? People are complaining about working for a living without a living wage but of course people like you always talk with a forked tongue
Yeah, the slaves were loving it.😂
Great country for anyone who wasn’t a slave
No cars no tv no radio no roads
Imagine now, the Treasury having a surplus!
The frontier continued on in Idaho territory. My family brought some of first beef cattle into the state of Idaho.
My grandpa who's since passed told me about when he was a kid in Idaho during the great depression senators running for federal office in the state would go even to his small town of Pocatello to stump speech. Winning over 1000 people was enough to win the election the population was so small.
Thanks for the beef from your folks!! It takes a hardy people to deal with livestock in the crazy storms and rolling hills vs back then. I’d I love to try it but we just aren’t tough enough anymore.
They turned into potatoes
1800-1900 the rise and fall of liberty
Although it's incredible how America came about, it was a shame that, in the early days, it was to the detriment of native Americans and the slaughter of millions of buffalo. Let us not forget.
Bubba! Let me tell you something. My great pa pa was 10 in 1880 and he lived another 75 years. As a youngster I couldn’t believe the dog gone madness that was the 1880,s. We would sit and talk for hours! Dang sho did! RIP pa pa

Thank you for sharing I love your content it's so refreshing
The 1880s was a much harder time just to live. You worked for very little just to survive. There was no help. You either made it or you didn't. No air conditioning, no indoor plumbing. No toilet paper to speak of. People used things like advertising catalogs for that purpose. The sears catalog after it was read it went to the outhouse for toilet paper. No feminine products. Women had a very hard time then. Be careful about saying you would like to go back to that time.
No smartphones in those days
Only smart people
No kidding
There were no smart phones in the 1960s through the 1990s, the decades I've lived most of my life.
You don't say !
Wauuuu so nice and so beautiful place.. I love that time..

In 1885 Cleveland Ohio was the wealthiest city in the world 🌎 Take a look at the names of the people living on Clevelands millionaire row.
could you imagine what this country would be like now if we continued with a surplus of money in our goverment, sad thing is it might have created more greedy people in our goverment
Oh the good old days how we miss the good old days right
Yeah! Let’s all die of fevers! Without air conditioning or cars!
An excellent film!!
I’m so proud of my European ancestors. Every group of people has done good and bad things. But the euros invented almost everything and were so innovative. I will never let people shame me about who I am and neither should you if you came from this also.

Im reading 'Caroline: Little House, Revisited' by Sarah Miller and i just got this vid recommended to me. The book takes place in the 1870's but still, this gives me an even better idea of what the world was prob like around that time 👍🏻
When was this video filmed?
If they would teach this history in schools today like they did back in the when I was an elementary student Jr high and high school..I really feel that today's youth would have a better appreciation for what the United States Of America is all about...

Nice documentary on american history
GREAT but too short.
Now its like,"go home, we're full"
The Simpsons cartoon made a joke along those lines at somepoint.
Came out of pure curiosity of what life was like in the 1800's
What everyone conveniently ignores is that what we asked for, on the Statue of Liberty, was only the huddled masses who were YEARNING TO BREATHE FREE. Not any other huddled masses. Any masses who were fine with being just as oppressed as they were back in Honduras, but who thought it'd be cool to have better stuff... They were not welcome.
Yes I agree. But, Emma Lazarus wrote that poem. It’s just a poem. It was never, is not now, nor ever will be, American immigration policy.

They omitted the fact that there were electric cars during those times. Look up when the first electric cars were developed. Check images as well. Type in the year 1830.
It’s a shame that these newcomers were instrumental in destroying an ancient civilisation because of greed.

Seems to me they forgot some stuff like the oregon trail and the California trail. They didn't mention the civil war either. There was more then just the east coast.
