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.
What part of Tennessee?
I'm in NW Tennessee. My Dad was from here and moved us here from Chicago when I was but a child.
that's so incredible!
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 🥰
Yeah uh huh
🐕💚🍕who was ten, you or her 🤔?
BY THE LOOKS OF KENSINGTON AMERICA HASN'T MOVED FORWARD AT ALL. , CHINA WELL THATS ANOTHER STORY
wow! x enjoy!
I was born in 53, and my grat great grandpa was born in 1811. I still have a photo of him. I believe you.
November 1991, 5th period: Social Studies Teacher rolls in a large TV from the LIbrary. Inserts VHS, turns out the lights, this.
This what....this what the black made
Haha 😂
Yeppers
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i swear you never lied
Really? This film?
Everything changes and evolves. I am so grateful for indoor plumbing and electricity!
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.
Chill out man, take a walk@@cet6237
@@cet6237what about peoole who likes to poo outside on the fields?
As a plumber, I have a new and great appreciation of plumbing. Endless temperature controlled water that dissappears after you r done using it.
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.❄❄
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.
Right??? I think about it often, I would do anything to be there like a ghost and just watch how people lived and talked and everything
Huge fantasy of mine
Me too.
Do you think you would be saying that if you were a woman ?
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.
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 feel sorry ....
For the trapped animals.
Did they suffer?
My grandma was born in 1896 in Blackwell Mo. She had a well, outhouse and drank spring water. I’m 64 and remember go to her old house in DeSoto Mo
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
How Cool are You!!☺️. God bless you sir!
Please tell where you grew up? Has it changed much?
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.
Yes Wonderful 🩵
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.
Yeah, you just had to work your ass off. Most of us couldn't have done, we're all too used to modern amenities.
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?
No conveniences either.....few indoor bathrooms. I would hate that part.
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!
Wonderful for Victorian architecture lovers!
Nearly two hundred years old
@@AjOldfield-if8mo
Could be, cuz I believe based on their location those apartment buildings were older than 1880.
Up to the civil war, they didnt think about time, or miles, they measured travel and distance by "days".
So instead of mile, they said "one fourty eighth of a day"
@@russell2910lol
They didn’t think about time, they used days, which is a unit of time.
Ain’t nobody got time for that.
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.
My Dad's parents and Mom's Grandparents were born in the 1880s. They were clever, resourceful & hard working.
i hate that there are no pictures before 1850...
Those who came here were told you must be self reliant. Today, the laziest of the laziest come here just want a hand out, not a hand up!
Lmao stfu. What do you do? Boomer living off social security? Likely.
Merry Christmas ⛄🎁 We are blessed to be here!
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!
What a great documentary you have made !
Thought provoking and sad that such days are gone forever.
Never give up on the Spirit of the American people or the belief that the majority are dedicated to Our Country, The Constitution,The Bill of Rights and honor the Pledge to Our Flag. Most adhere to the Golden Rule which is a guideline to PEACEFUL resolutions. We the People need to stand united and strong to reclaim Our Right to speak loudly and clearly to those elected to be the voice of the people. They must Individually honor their Oath of Office, make logical and common sense decisions which represent the WILL OF THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED THEM. They must remember they are SERVANTS of WE THE PEOPLE.
What the hell are you talking about, this channel did not make this video. They just copied and uploaded it. You can't tell?
You forgot the rise of the skyscraper and then Gilded Age.
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.
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.
@@kaylakoechig7906 He moved to California ASAP. He became the City Engineer for National City. He says that all he got from the mines was TB. He worked near Flagstaff and liked it. He envied my freedom so I am not sure what freedom you are considering. I travel the world and make my living with my brain. I went to free universities (UCLA) as did my Dad (Cal). We lived my Grandfather's dream.
Yes.....Gun Grabbers and 2nd ammendment violations of peoples rights by tryannists started their work back then !
This is a great documentary. From the narration to the music, this doc is absolutely fantastic 👍👍
Music in documentary is just annoying. Want info video not music video

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?
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.
This was awesome. Thank you.
Extremely interesting! Thank you!
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.
@@Aryaba ok but the morals of the time were very, not good to say the least
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.
Alexander Graham Bell was born in Scotland and died in Canada. He did spend a bit of time in the US working with the deaf.
What a waste of time. They couldn't even hear him.😢
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.
The people who immigrated here first(native Americans) were brutal to each other.
Genocide, rpe, kidnapping, theft,etc
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 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.
This should be shown in all middle and high schools.
Huge budget surplus... that was when America took off. '3 trillion that won't cost you a thing' what a disaster.
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
😢
Fantastic documentary! Learned a lot.
Thank you for sharing I love your content it's so refreshing. love it.
I think most of us would love to go back for a visit, but to live, in the city?? I think the lack of sanitation, indoor plumbing, the disease, rancid food, choking dust etc etc would be a HUGE wake up call for virtually all of us nowadays. Those were a different, tougher breed back then, they had to be RIP folks 👍
You sound a little too soft to handle that era. Men and women were tough back then not like you
what about segregation and slaves still being a thing, yeah this is a hell no. if i go back id get lynched because i wouldnt stand for humans to be treated that way.
@@deeznutz57 Spoken like a true 20 something,
Here's what would happen if you went back. You'd fall in line just like you do now. But more so back then. If you didn't some guy would give you a nasty look and make you pee your pants.
You'd go along with the whole thing Skippy. But hey this is You Tube and everyone talks crap so I don't blame you.
I hope none of that made you mad. Reality can sometimes be upsetting
I live and lived for the last 17 years with no running water or a bathroom and yes it sucks but you get use to it
And that's just a white perspective. If you were black or even Asian, you'd either get run out of the area or lynched.
Idk why… but I love this type docu’s 🥸🤓
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.
love it. No income tax, budget surplus... The good old days.
Awesome video thanks…
Was this done in the 70s? Because I would swear I watched this in a history class back then.
I miss those days well not quite that far back I wasn't alive then LOL
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
@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.
Wauuuu so nice and so beautiful place.. I love that time..
.👍♥️
1800-1900 the rise and fall of liberty
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.
My fold up rocker made the journey out West with those trains❤.
No smartphones in those days
Only smart people
No kidding
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.
you're lazy. you were born here. what you worried you can't work hard? they taking your job? or free loading. yall are pathetic.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you for sharing I love your content it's so refreshing
Little did the people then know that their grandchildren and great grandchildren would lose the meaning of freedom and the republic. Sad
No, they would be very proud of the advances. They would be sad at the insurrection.

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
If I could go back in time, I would choose 1800s. Either mid or late. Such a beautiful and free time period. I know it was also dangerous but just like now, be smart and you'll be fine. (you hope)
But who would of thought, these people pictured and documented are related to someone somewhere. I'm sure they day dreamed about the future just as we do... and here we are watching u tube videos on them. Just as someday they will be watching historical documentaries on us.
Nice video!
A free time period... One where black ppl were locked in chains? 😂 I agree, I would love to live in that time but it most certainly was not a "free" period
Groovy video

Guidelines for Reporting Meditation Experience
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.
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.
Who needs an intro that long?
