      Dear Cato, I have subscribed to your channel, and I'd love to see more videos from you. I'm probably biased because I'm from the UK originally and it was so nice to hear something good said about the British!!! LOL 😆 ! I love history and it would be great to hear more about really interesting people, like Sarah. It was strange how Queen Victoria made her own children and Sarah marry the people who She chose for them, instead of allowing them to marry for love. Especially when you consider that Queen Victoria herself married for love. Victoria was madly in love with Prince Albert and she wrote in her diary that she and Albert "didn't get much sleep" on their wedding night!!! She acted prim and proper, but she actually loved sex, she didn't like the consequences of it though, by which I mean childbirth. She called it "the dark side of marriage." I think Victoria's attitude was: 'Do as I say, not as I do'!

      I was fortunate to have been taught better in my generation from my grandmother and her sister. My mom and her two cousins had married my dads two brothers and we were all raised very close, over 20 cousins with the others included.. We were of mix races, mostly Hispanic cousins in the 70's when I was growing up in California. I never knew of or seen a rase difference until I became older in school, like high school. I do know that racism makes me very angry because of my family and it hurts.. I have raised my children the way I was raised .. And I know that they will continue to carry it on because I've seen them get upset with people too..
