This is the true story of the early American frontier. The "13 Colonies," eager to go west of Appalachia despite the British crown’s forbiddance, decide the question in the American Revolution. As settlers and slavery push into native land, President Jefferson strikes one of the cheapest real estate deals in history — but at what cost to the native peoples of North America?

    This is crazy. These people made you pay for land that wasn’t even theirs to sell. && now look, we are charged, and pay for literally everything. All of us.

    Life before refridgeration, aspirin and penicillin was tough .
  • @bahiras
    It seems like National Geographic produced more videos about the American West. I hope the others are posted on YouTube. Thanks.

    The decimation of buffalo herds also decimated native cultures that relied on those herds for sustenance and trade.
  • Once again, very nice Selective history. The Spanish and the French were on the the north American continent before the English arrived and settled their '13 colonies'. But no mention.

    I Am Welsh/British Looking Back Through History I Am Ashamed What The English Has Done In The Early Days In America/Australia And Also In Scotland . People Should Check Out The True History Of The English . I Am Now An Australian Citizen .

    the introductions loading of negative adjectives tells you all you need to know about this 'documentary'.
  • @sabre6986
    There were no revolvers in the Revolutionary War National Geographic I expect better from you!
  • @marklortie4681

    If you want to see what the ancient people looked like, check out the Painted stones. Before paper, before books, the photo albums were made of Stone
  • @user-ix3en1zd7n
    Marvellous documentary , the actors where very carefully selected and dressed immaculately , really appreciate this !

    I know that due to time limitations on the program so facts are a little on the shy side or completely left out. I wish they had mentioned though and IMO, that one of the most important events of the L&C expedition is how they came to the decision of where to live while in Oregon. No one could decide on which of 3 locations they should winter over before returning. So a vote as taken by all of folks in the expedition. For the first time on the North American continent, a black slave, York, and a woman Sacagawea cast a vote.

    This is interesting for placing context to my genealogical research.. 1740 Bladen County, NC has no western boundary! Gotta find parent counties and those in between to track people down. Then they ended up in Kentucky, next door to the Boones. Great video.

    That was interesting and entertaining, but I think many of the subjects are not accurate enough to be called truth.
