[@-Cyuu-]

Thanks for the video. It's pretty rare to find much on the colony of Vancouver Island

[@FroyourHistory]

It's definitely an interesting time period

[@Passer__]

Interesting video, but I don't see the point of the audio visualizer; it's just distracting

[@davisalvarado8960]

Cool vid. Seems like this is a pretty defining moment for the relationship between government and capital

[@davisalvarado8960]

The british created a money printer on the north american continent and it immediately became so rich that they couldnt control it

[@violentvampire912]

where are all the captain grant stans at?

[@FroyourHistory]

he just like me fr

[@NomadDev]

Basically Birmingham in the UK today, a depressing shithole. Great video as always)

[@bryan5213]

The audio visualizer is a weird choice; it's distracting and doesn't really serve a purpose.

[@FroyourHistory]

It's a hold over from how I used to edit videos. It's probably time to retire it.

[@incorectulpolitic]

was ?

[@DD-jn7sf]

I Like the content, but the music is very distracting and doesn’t fit

[@FroyourHistory]

Picking the music is the hardest part at times
