HOLD UP. Before there were laws about immigration all immigration was legal? WOW shocking. I guess that is how laws work. I mean if there are no laws about eating certain sandwiches than all sandwiches are legal to eat. I mean if you put up a traffic light but don't make it illegal to run a red light than driving though a red light is just as legal as running though a green light.
IS THE PERSON WRITING THIS trying to say that all immigration should be legal? That's fine. We have a process for that. It's called our elected representatives. If you don't want immigration laws or citizenship laws then elect representative and president who pass those laws. If you don't, then the law is the law and you should actually enforce the law as written, and if you don't then you should go to jail for abuse of power.

Yes John, immigration use to be unrestricted in a much less complex world. It's also worth noting, I think, that the immigrants that were arriving were predominantly western European, and therefore all sharing very similar cultural values. Hope you're not trying to equivocate immigration policy of the 19th century with present day immigration policy. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Canadian who's very pro-immigrant, but to say that all immigration is good under any set of circumstances no matter what is dead wrong and as a historian, I know you know that

I dread the coming rebellions of the world's History Teachers when they get replaced by robotic teachers. (to be fair, it won't always be noticed) They will protest losing their jobs to mindless robots.
Robots will be insulted at being called -mindless-.
The violence and horror of the History Teachers revolt, will surprise many with its pointless brutality -- the infliction of unannounced spot tests will horrify the world.

Was the revolution worth it? For some families it was. Yeah yeah yeah. -Don-t be negative- But, more profound than the newfound freedom of the survivors, is the sacrifice of the ones who didn-t make it.
I guess I-m just thankful that I live in a place where -rock bottom- for me means I-d be devoid of luxuries. I can-t begin to know what these people went though. I just know I wouldn-t have made it ---

Throughout historiography, we tend to use the term -slaves- when referring to African people who were enslaved. In doing this, we take away not only the humanity of these people but also unconsciously or not, take away blame from the oppressors. I totally enjoy watching your videos John, but please be aware of the subtle ways we can propagate certain ideas.

Not so great analysis mon amie. Of course it was worth it.
If those people did not essentially illuminante feudalism, you might still owe your existence to Lord Dingbat.
But with capitalism, corporations, owned by the super bourgeoisie, endlessly exploit you (the worker) or outright steal it from you.
Now that-s freedom!

I like crash course, but its depiction of the 1848 French revolution is despicable. He makes it out to be that rural people just didnt care about urban people when they had equally valuable concerns in mind. I have a feeling this is coming from a modern distast for rural peoples being interjected into the past.

The Irish were we're not giving food aid because the British believed that it would help -civilize- the continent. They mentioned this directly several times in the decision-making for the. It does a poor service to the millions who died or were removed from their homes or who had to flee their home.

-Imagine knowing that your and your children, and your children's children would be force to live on and work the same land owing an endless debt to the same aristocratic family that you will never be able to repaid- Well. I can relate to that. Power is still a very interesting subject to debate for.

So John said the Irish population to this day has still not recovered from the Irish Potato Famine. Was that dues to the deaths from the famine or due to the massive immigration caused by the famine? Which was the heavier factor?
