Is it just me or is mostly everyone watching this video thinking "Ah, the 1890's, what beautiful times. Today's society is shit compared to back then..." but i wonder, didn't people in the 1890's used to say the same thing?
@ilove1994 crime rates were the highest in the 1980s & 1990s. as a percentage of the population, that's when they peaked. they've been in a decline since 1999, and today the crime rate is no worse than it was in 1968. i don't know about anything before 1960. think of this though: capone would be out of business today, as he made most of his money and built his criminal empire bootlegging liquor during prohibition.
@Haggletoe I think sometimes it appears that way because we have so much more exposure to news and media now a days. Bad crime has always existed, in back in biblical days...The difference again is the info that we are exposed to now...Back in olden days society didn't consider things like: child abuse, domestic abuse, pedophilia, etc, crimes...also people got away with more because Cops were jokes and there were no forensic teams or crime labs back then.
@Haggletoe I definitely do. Sure they had an outlaw or two back then but nothing like they do today. Look at the news, listen to police radios. You will really see how bad this world has become. I know your post is old, but I just wanted to say this.
This was just great! A wonderful time to be an American! They probably though everything had already been invented!New wonders all around them and the new century just beckoning!Really must have been the 1st time ppl have the time and money to enjoy themselves..being off the farm!Priceless! Thanx!
Indded why do you think the 1890s are called the Gay 90s because almost evrayone had lots of money & was rich the 1890s where also a time with a load of new inventions too the blacks dident evan owan sent the railroad people where poorley eggacated and they died evrayday same with the factory kids but with the people at the time who had lots of money could enjoy themselfs & the kids who came from rich familys could go to school & aford electtressity in there homes to glad you liked it.
yes like I said the rich kids went too school & yes almost evreyone had lots of money duringthis time & most of the people where white to & from my understanding it wasent up until 1876 that all kids where requiered to go to school but the poor ones that worked couldent evan afored it.
@musicologo1able No they called it gay because when 1900 came the peopleof the end of the Victorian era looked back & thought Wow the 1890s where a swell Happy gay time period.
the song is called moms rag written in (1893) and i do not know the creator of the song but will look it up and yes i probably could upload the hole song i dont know i will see but thanks my friend .

The men with rifles at 1:10 of this clipping are not Americans....but Boer soldiers.
They appear on the cover of Thomas Packenham's book, "The Boer War".
What gives ?!
