Oregon Trails: History of American Westward Explained on Maps

After the Mormon Trail was established in 1847, travelers on the Oregon Trail and California Trail could stop for the winter in Salt Lake City and trade for items that they needed for the rest of their journeys.

Emigration was an invasion!

Rude AF. Did you forget that the indigenous peoples lived there? Common man. It is 2024

qing were already there before us traders...

This isn't even a map.

From what I heard there's two people playing pingpong while their tea is ready and one of them keeps having great ideas..

And yet not a single mention of the original inhabitants of the lands…

The AI voice of this video doesn't know how to pronounce 'cholera.'

Can you find another way to mispronounce "Oregon", this is hillarious

Is this a joke? This video is unwatchable.

I live in Oregon. In fact I went to Lewis and Clark College in Portland. In Eastern Oregon you can still see the wagon ruts in the rocks from all the wagon trains. If the train ticket was only $65……..why go through all the grief and misery of a wagon train?

Oreeeeeegan City😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Shotty AI video. I have a feeling theres going to be more of these in the near future.

Oreeegen!

Your map shows Idaho under British control

It wasn't "unclaimed" land. None of it was unclaimed. It was unclaimed by Europeans. It was inhabited, and claimed, by scores of Native American tribes who'd been there thousands of years.

Have you ever seen those broken wagon wheels sitting out at the end of peoples drive?
Yeah, well, thats how that family got there, the wagon wheel broke so there they stayed.
They settled for that spot & gave up on that dream of Oregon. Why do you suppose they
are called settlers?

!

I know others have given you a hard time on pronunciation- but don’t let it get to you. Good work on the vid and keep it up!

This is an AI generated video

Good video, but waaaay too busy with sound effects. Also they are painfully loud. You dont have to have swooshes and bings every sentence- have faith that your content will hold your audiences attention without needless bings and bongs

Prove it

The constant random clip art noises are very distracting. You don't need them.

So, the Indigenous People who lived there and were just cast aside? No big deal, they were just savages, right? History? More like propaganda.

"unclaimed land" like it was empty lol.

The narration sounds like AI.

Learn to speak!

The sound effects makes this unwatchable.

Take a good story and f. .k it up with sound effects and computers "talk".

Its hard to take a video seriously when the makers dont take the subject seriously enough to get the pronunciations right.
Amateur at best.

Garbage pronunciation. How the hell can someone expect to believe you when you can’t even get basic words right.

Omaha is too far north on the thumbnail

if you are gonna make this video you gotta research pronunciations first...

Turn the sound effects down. Could have been a good video to loud noises

Need to retrain your AI narrator. It got Oregon right most of the time, except for the city name when it said Oreeeeeeeegon city 😛 Also butchered the pronunciation of Cholera. Some of the cadence was a bit off to, but otherwise mostly believable.

I'm out, I can't stand how you pronounce Cholera.

You can totally tell that this is being narrated by A.I. So many things are mispronounced. Hell, it even pronounces Oregon in about four different ways.

One of the worst documentaries that i have ever seen, Your pronunciation is horrible and your facts are nowhere near correct, you need to go back to 8th grade history.

your video sucks! to many dings and annoying sounds! thumbs down

Many of the people wound up in Northern CA and didn't realize that they were not in Oregon for years.

The pronunciation in this video is atrocious lol

Dawg, the stock sound effects and what I asssume is an AI voice (because it doesn't know how to read "cholera") are pretty cringey considering that you're directly biting Geo History's style, but worse

Your audio popping and other audio elements are very annoying.

He pronounced “Oregon” in four different ways

You pronounced Oregon 3 different ways. Areegan city, Oregon trail, and the state of Oregahn😂. loved the video!!

You have died of dysentery.

I died of dysentery just watching this. 😂

The Northwest was not unclaimed. Lots of people lived there already.

Some of the pronunciation errors on this video are hilarious.

Narrator mispronounces Oregon as “Or-E-Gone” only to pronounce it correctly in “Oregon Trail” a half second later. Turned it off become 30 seconds in.

Great job. Subscribed.
