Thank you for watching! As you may have noticed, some details unfortunately had to be omitted due to time constraints or for the sake of the overall readability of the map. The video does not include:
-The United States' unenforced claims in the South Pacific and the Caribbean, as well as the Anglo-American Condominium of the Canton and Enderbury Islands (1939-1979);
-Minute changes in state and territorial borders;
-Anti-Confederate uprisings during the Civil War, with the exception of Jones County;
-And Native American reservations.

Furthermore, the Indigenous tribal borders shown in this video should be taken with a grain of salt. In reality, territories were often overlapping and much more dynamic than the video suggests.

Thank you again!

시청해 주셔서 감사합니다! 눈치채셨을지도 모르겠지만, 유감스럽게도 시간 문제 또는 지도의 전체적인 가독성을 위해 일부 세부 사항을 생략해야만 했습니다. 이 영상이 다루지 않는 역사는 다음과 같습니다:
-미국이 실제 행정력은 없이 영유권 주장만 한 남태평양과 카리브해의 각종 섬들, 그리고 영국과 공유했던 칸톤, 엔더버리 섬 (1939-1979)
-주와 준주의 미세한 경계 조정
-미시시피주 존스군을 제외한 남북전쟁 당시 반(反)남부 반란
-원주민 보호구역

또한 본 영상에 묘사된 원주민 부족들의 영역은 참고 수준으로만 보시기 바랍니다. 실제 원주민 영토는 서로 겹치는 경우가 잦았으며, 영상에 나오는 것보다 훨씬 변화가 많았습니다.

다시 한번 감사드립니다.

I love how you didn't completely colored in the entire states, showing native held lands as well. That's an excellent attention to detail.

[morsecode]

As an American, I’m thoroughly impressed by the level of detail here. Insane. Good job

[LegoBrianProductions]

This is excellent! As an American and history lover, I felt that it was both very accurate and visually appealing. I also really enjoyed the attention to detail with the native tribes still existing despite the political borders made over their lands. Overall, I can really tell that a lot of work went into this and it was a very good video! Great work!

You forget to mention the Hispanic aid (from the Hispanic Monarchy of Carlos III) and the Dutch aid. Hispanic help was just as crucial as that of France when it came to winning the war, since it had a direct frontier with the Thirteen Colonies.

Approximately every 80 years (~1:15 minutes in the video) there is a major socio-political event in American history

Hi, I'm Saul Goodman. Did you know that you have rights? The Constitution says you do, and so do I. I believe that until proven guilty, every man, woman and child in this country is innocent. And that's why I fight for you, my fellow citizens. Happy 4th of July!

*Better call Saul!*

[Legority]

this is really good! in the perfect world i’d love a version of this that’s super detailed and includes native reservations, but that’s even harder to make

[bee-fsvb]

As I've said before, you are incredibly underrated. This video is awesome, good job

[worldpoint]

One small mistake, Richard Cromwell was deposed in 1659, not in 1660. Other than that, this is the best map animation about the United States on YouTube.

[jeaniusedits]

This video is absolutely amazing. I love it. Keep up the great work.

[Luke.F]

This is some amazing work done! Love the video, very inspirational!

[tommy-erhh]

nice video, especially like the effort to try and put in the Indian territories. And it was nice you showed some Canada & Mexico during the wars (but not Spain nor WWI or WWII?). However, some weaknesses IMHO.
1. I would have started a century earlier with Spain and Frances struggle over the Carolinas and Florida. I probably would add in the various failed 3+ English colonies.
2. You show bias, by pretty much based the US on what England did, ignoring Spain/Mexico, France, Scotland, Holland, Sweden and their legacy. Well, you did have a little unlabeled yellow territory for later Spanish and French east coast only only.
3. While adding in the Indian territory is nice, you made the common mistakes of tribal hard borders, and unchanging areas - except the Iroquois beaver wars. For example the Saux/Fox moved into US from Canada because of Beaver Wars, but you have them already there. The whole Sioux family (Lakota, Ho-chunk, Iowas, Oto, ect.) were moving westward because of both horses and because of push by other tribes, who were pushed by whites. Also the Ho-chunk and other tribes were pushed away from Great Lakes by Iroquois during the Beaver Wars. During this period the Council of 3 fires with Ojibwa/Chippewa, Odowa and Potawatomi were moving up the St. Lawrence.dropping off the Potwatomi and Odowa in E Michigan, while the Ojibwa/Chippewa moved west (with parts dropping off) in Canada finally ending up around Lake-in-the-woods area. You show nothing of this, only the Beaver wars.
4. What about Liberia, US almost colony in Africa?
.
So, while i applaud the effort, i wish it would have been better.

[itsjohnnyfox]

will you be making any language video's in The nearest future?

[Beaucoleon]

This video is honestly stunning. I honestly can’t imagine how much work you put into this. This is honestly the best USA every year video I have ever seen! It’s honestly amazing

[juanindojorgijanad]

Happy 4th of July, my American friends! Congrats from Indonesia.

🇮🇩❤️🇺🇲

[ajw]

Oh my, that is detailed! Incredible job! It would’ve been cooler to show off the guano islands expansion, but I love what you did with the Pacific Trust territory! Maybe one day you can do a map of the pacific and Australia, that region is super underrated. America used to own a lot more then we think!

[welcometothemonkeyapezone]

I've never seen a video of this sort show the native states, huge appreciation to that and unbelievable attention to detail.

[TitusWaddimba]

This is the best History of the U.S. video I’ve seen on YouTube. Well done.

[bosse]

THAT. WAS. THE.
















BEST HISTORY OF USA I HAVE EVER SEEN ON YOUTUBE IN MY LIFE.
