I’m not from Boston so I’m not going to watch without complaining people in Boston only watch Boston and if this is not Boston then they’re not going to watch they are the most self-centered viewing audience of all time they only watch themselves

1800s life is fascinating. I can only imagine the odor.

I grew up south of Boston. My grandparents were greek immigrants who came to Massachusetts during the 1920's. Both worked full time in the shoe factories of the south shore. Eventually they bought a 'triple decker' (3 apartments on 3 floors) and allowed other greeks to live there as their first place in America. After WW2 they opened a restaurant called Cape Cod Cafe. Inventing 'Bar Pizza'.

Lucky for them they were ALLOWED to flourish. Our African ancestors after being ENSLAVED for 340 years had their over 230 successful thriving Black towns with schools, hospitals, newspapers successful business all run and owned by Black people were communities BURNED to the ground, bombed from the air and old young pregnant women alike shot down like dogs by jealous🖐🏻.

Oh well. nowadays you have people living on the streets or in tent communities in frigid weather. Perhaps not the percentages as back then but wretched all the same.

We are so blessed to live in this era. It's almost magical. Dishwashers. Roombas. Washing machines. The way we live reminds me the fairys in sleeping beauty when they get the brooms to mop and magic to wash the dishes. It's a pleasure listening to you tell us these heartbreaking stories of the past

I have been watching your videos from the beginning and find them very enlightening and historically informative. I can’t help but wonder if a century from now, people will look at videos of todays poverty and how they struggle. Will they feel the same outrage and disgust about today’s society as we (I) feel when I view your videos!? How will they judge us….? Possibly with more contempt? We feel we’re caring for creating food banks and providing shelter and yet I’m sure the Victorians considered they were compassionate because they created the workhouses! Regardless, thank you for the information and education, you’re a 21st century Charles Dickens! Sincerely, Doc

How are you doing sir . Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s at end of 19 th century Boston had lot to be proud of many considered city modern day Athens, rich with arts , wealth, elegant houses but there was darkest side to victorian Boston , crowded slums , widespread poverty, hunger, shocking highrate of infant mortality. Victorian Boston almost one in ten children died before they were five years old . Hospital was built on ship jk .Boston busting Port town booming industrial city .Boston is city footprint grew dramatically from 1,5 to more 40 square miles, while population increased more than eight fold from 1820-1880.

Hollywood has us brainwashed. Watching cinema and TV, one would think everyone lived a life with little or no hardships in America. We know immigrants had a rough time but nothing like what is shown in these realistic and honest videos. The poor had it super hard.

@jamesmiller3548

Yes, the poor had it very hard and they still do, and so do immigrants today. Hollywood creates fantasy but our lack of knowledge in history cannot be blamed on entertainment. There is a world of history that is not exposed. The knowledge is there to be found, but we are too busy drowning in our algorithms where crows are feather flock together.
