Indiscernible 1:05 , I believe he says, "I was a slave all my life."

Crazy these men saw the world go from one shot muskets and cannons to fully automatic machine guns and clip/mag fed weapons to chemical warfare

Was it really enhanced?

Crazy to think that this was almost a hundred years ago and then it was 59 years after the war

What amazes me is I know these towns he is speaking of so well.

My papaw was born in 1897, he took me to raise at age 72. I am a historian and marvel at the people who made the "greatest generation" He was my hero.

The way they speak is so fine.

The southern states all signed the “Articles of Confederation”. As a result of their attempted secession from the United States, it was an act of war. Lee should have been arrested at his resignation from the US Army since Lincoln had declared Martial Law. The South was living on deficit spending and the soil was being depleted. The Southwest Territories were Free, so the South was really financially strapped. Slaves were a financial commodity to the South and their Emancipation was a final blow to the South. “States Rights” were not an issue to the North since the South signed the “Articles of Confederation”. Had the South won the Civil War, in my opinion, England would have returned and had a new foothold in the country as the South would have become an English Colony. England would have e abolished slavery as they did years ago in England. England held much of the South’s debt and England would have returned to protect their credit investment.

We are watching on screen a man who met people born in the 1700's.

I think I did the first thumbs down to this video because I wanted to hear more from him

Rebel trash 🖕🖕

He appeared like he was about ready to go to the bathroom throughout the whole interview.

the Dutch?

People who were born in the late 1800s through the 1980s usually say that paved roads were the best invention.

Strange to think Los Ángeles was considered a little village once

we didnt fight to have slaves..... we fought to have states rights so we could have slaves.....

This country is 3 people old. These men were #2

Do away with the overwhelmingly distracting battle hymns and this might be worth watching.

Life looked real good after they stole the land..

It will be like when two Vietnam War veterans talk about their experience in 2029.

1:17

At the end, he looked he wanted to cry 😢

I knew a man whose father fought in the Civil War.

This is amazing to see.

It should be corrected bigley in history books that the Civil War was actually over states rights and not slavery

When I think that these people born in the 1870’s had grandparents born 80 yrs before and practically were 1700’s babies, the 1800’s doesn’t seem that old anymore.

We're getting to see people who were born in mid 1800s so they probably got to talk to people from late 1700s at least. That's insane!

What a fascinating piece of social history.

the question asked was, "are you having a good time?" i mean, i can understand not asking for their thoughts on owning black people in 1929 but ask something of substance...geez

This lady was about 86 when she recorded this. She was sharp and articulate with a great memory.

Did anyone else catch what he said about the West?

Amazing that he lived only a little over two more months after this. God bless you, Mr. Seymour

It’s crazy to think that the last civil war veteran didn’t die till the 1950s

History before your eyes...amazing, how sad the story went.R I P -Mister President Lincoln

This is absolute Gold. I bet they would be disgusted at the way our World is today.

He most definitely has a Scottish accent.

Cut from a different cloth.

Oh I love this I love these kinds of videos I love learning about history

It’s Joe Biden

Real men !

I remember in middle school listening to a d day vet and he said his dad used to take him down to the veterans hall and listen to civil war vets.

The median home value in the 50’s was around $4,000 to $5,000 dollars. $32,000 was a ton of money back then.

This is stunning

Beautiful!

Healthy and honest men.

My dad knew his great aunts and uncles when he was a boy 10 and under....... They were born before the civil war.... Grew up through it. I of course knew my grandmother who was born in 1903.... Grew up before airplanes, before world war I, when the horse and buggy was still widely used, nobody had air conditioning....... And she died in the 1980s..... With jet airline traffic and computers. She never trusted planes and never flew, she only took the bus anywhere she needed to go I have furniture that's been in my family over 250 years.... In the 1990s my mom sold land that had been in my family 160 years

It's truly amazing that one man is 94 the other is 84 how do they live so long without vaccines that were never needed

He sounds like a taurus

He says "nice things" when referring to what children werent allowed to eat

Thank you so much
