My wife graduated from Santo Tomas University in the Philippines. I was excited to buy her a handful of keyrings, refrigerator magnets, bottle openers, celebrating the 400th anniversary of the first graduating class in 1611. That's how far behind England was - Spain had conquered all of Central and South America and explored much of North America, at least as far as Kansas, but the Little Ice Age was making more southerly lands more inviting. Spain had already conquered the Philippines, with the aid of many Nahuatl people (so many in fact the native language of the Philippines became peppered with Nahuatl words). The Spanish had built lighthouses, churches and missions throughout the neighboring islands and built an impressive European-style city surrounding their fortress in Maynila (Manila). They had established the Manila-Acapulco trade, greatly enriching Catholic Europe and funding the new St. Peter's Basilica. They had established universities, one of which, Santo Tomas University, graduated their first class in 1611. Jamestown was four years old. The majority of the colonists that had first arrived were already dead.

Ayyy I play the little boy, Thomas Savage!

Very nice thanks for the vid guys!👏👏🙌🙌👌👌

Very interesting aspect of history. Good or bad this is the starting foundation for our nation's conception.

You are so right. Not a lot of people know that. They think it started in 1776 or 1619. A lot happened in the first couple decades that shaped future societies and laws.

I Am always surprised by the small number of Natives who lived here. They have been there forever, I would have thought they would number in the 100's of thousands.

How do I find out about the men/families on those first boats. I descend from those boats,and cant seem to find anything on those people from those days.

Couldn't they hunt or fish? I could never see myself starving to death in a place so rich in resources.

Wait, that one Indian had a Brooklyn accent...HAHAHAA

Englishmen playing Indians and not even attempting an accent.

If you read the historical documents, they wrote so badly then, possibly some the same way, and to make a movie while attempting to sound the same as they did would kinda suck, and most people won't understand it. I don't use accents in my videos. I think the words are more important than the accent itself. Right?

@@AngryAndNegativeHistoryProjectThis was a very good portrayal. Very informative. Which tribe were the native American actors a part of? Where was this filmed?
