      why?

      If somebody asks me for nazi scalps, I’m not asking why. But I’m definitely getting him some nazi scalps.

      IDK but all the men in my family from this generation wanted to go kill Nazis. Funny thing was that the military wouldn’t let them. All of them were assigned to places in Washington State.

      Imagine a bunch of Oglala men (that guy in the picture could very well be Lakota) being unable to fight in a war… The Oglala were the greatest warriors in the American Indian wars

        watched the first hour and the last 20 minutes.

        The presenter in the CrashCourse series says “we/us” when talking about native americans while the historian here talks, though masterfully and with compassion, about “them”.

        it also helps to have 12 minute chapters instead of one big 150 minutes, that sadly keeps repeating the same things that happened over and over again to tribes :(

          I love crash course too, they both have their pros can cons with their formatting (and scope)

          I think Knowing Better is fantastic for a deep dive, especially on the topics of American History he covers. The chronological framework he has is great to understand the different periods of the removal, and how the methods shift over the decades, before tying it back to the present day issues.

          His video on the history of slavery in America is also phenomenal
