Hey guys,
I know I missed this week's video. I had to deal with traveling and family issues and wasn't able to meet the deadline. I plan to resume posting this coming week. I may end up switching to a biweekly release schedule to help accommodate my current obligations. But I'll post a separate update if that happens.
Thanks for sticking around and I'll see you next week with a new history documentary!

Merry Christmas, and happy holidays to everyone celebrating this season.
More than anything, I just want to say thank you—thank you for watching, for subscribing, and for leaving thoughtful comments that keep the discussions going. The channel is still growing, but my goal for the new year stays the same: to keep making historical content that’s both educational and entertaining.
Because of the holidays, I’m taking this Friday off, so there won’t be a new documentary this week. I’ll be back the following week—on January 2nd—with a brand-new documentary to kick off the new year.
Thanks again for all the support. I hope you have a great holiday with family and friends. Stay safe, and happy holidays!

To celebrate, here’s my mascot contemplating the mysteries of the past… on a toilet.
Honestly, this might be the most accurate depiction of how these documentaries get made.

On January 15, 1919, Boston’s North End was swallowed by a wave of molasses 25 feet high, racing through the streets at 35 mph. Twenty-one lives were lost, and the city was forever changed.
We just released a full-length documentary on the Great Molasses Flood — one of history’s strangest disasters.
🎥 Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQe-R...

On December 29, 1890, more than 150 Lakota men, women, and children were killed at Wounded Knee. Some newspapers of the time called it a ‘battle,’ but history now recognizes it as a massacre. I’ve just released a documentary exploring the events, the Ghost Dance movement, and the legacy that still echoes today.
Here's the link to the documentary if you're interested in learning more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo__S...
Do you think the U.S. government should rescind the Medals of Honor awarded to soldiers for Wounded Knee?

📽️ New Documentary Premiere: The War of 1812 🇺🇸⚓
Most people barely remember it.
No land was gained. No winner declared.
But the War of 1812 may have done more to shape America than the Revolution itself.
From the burning of the White House to the birth of the national anthem, this was a war of invasions, betrayals, and unexpected heroes. It gave rise to presidents, silenced Native resistance, and helped a young republic finally stand tall.
▶️ Watch now and rediscover the war that defined American identity:
