A Lost World (1600-1680) - Philadelphia: The Great Experiment

For free educational materials, visit our website at www.historymakingproductions.com/philadelphia-the-great-experiment
An episode of PHILADELPHIA: THE GREAT EXPERIMENT
For centuries, the land that will become Philadelphia is home to the Lenni Lenape people. The rich soil and rivers support a peaceful civilization, but in the 1600's Dutch settlers assert their rights to the territory, and a bloody confrontation erupts. Swedish farmers arrive next, but their colony is torn apart by the tyrannical rule of Governor Johan Printz. By the late 1600's, persecuted English Quakers seek a safe haven in the area just as outbreaks of European disease devastate the Lenape.

    Excellent graphical presentation of the early history of the initial European settlement of this area. I know all too well how difficult it always was to interest young people in the history of the region as reading about this in a history book doesn't exactly ignite too much interest. This helps to fill a big void.

    Interesting from a historical perspective. I wish the perspective had been more strongly focused on the people. It appeared to me that their participation in the film was mainly as a backdrop of yet another story about pilgrims.

    It is nice such an effort was made to document this aspect of American history, but it really lacks coherence, which may indicate not much is known or a lot has been lost. Or maybe it is the state of historiography on these topics. I'm from the West and generally would agree the Native Americans have suffered a raw deal at the hands of colonial powers, and later (even today) the US government, but the information presented here seems incomplete, speculative, and contradictory. It states the tribe's women owned the land and explains battles fought over land; then it explains how the "peaceful" tribe didn't understand the ownership of land. It says the Dutch who somehow thought they purchased the land expected the natives to follow their custom and rules; then one of the native decedents explains that the Dutch weren't following their customs on 'their' land in an explanation of why the Dutch settlers were massacred. I don't blame the participants who took the time to tell these stories

    I was taught how to mount bareback at age 4 by my mom who is a national champ for equine, this is exactly how u mount anyone who say’s different never truly owned and rode a horse naturally. How do you think people rode before saddles they rode bareback like this using the main as ur rains and ur hips to control. Just cause u can google and watch videos doesn’t mean ur right. And if u says it’s abuse trust me that horse is more then capable enough to throw her or even bite her off.

    Long story short. When the elder William Penn died, the British King owed him a debt. William Penn, the son of the late William Penn, was repaid the debt in land to basically get him and his Quakers out. Penn wanted to call the state Sylvania, for the trees, but the King wanted it to be named in honor of his father, the senior Penn. William Penn decided to found a city he named Philadelphia after the ancient city mentioned in the Bible. He dreamed of a place where all religions could practice in peace, and where the peoples would live in harmony with the natives. Philadelphia was one of the few cities in the Colonies to lack a defensive wall for that reason. The name stems from the Greek terms for Brotherly Love - philos, love; adelphos, brother.

    There was no actual making from the start,it was built up going along ,no actual settlement,germantown was the first actual settlement,than the english speaking separated knowing it was british tried to destroy it,knowing Penn was english,philadelphia gradually evolved into defending yourself for no cause,a making of an imaginary cause so you have to listen to it,but it hasn't changed,only new buildings,but the food is of the best on the planet,philly cares %100 on the food,the rest who dont care haven't come in with old world recipes,when you go to a restaurant expect good food,Expect only history.
