'History of Britain' clip, Victorian era; industrialization

[anthonytd103]

I read this novel in my 19th century British fiction class and thought it was so depressing.

[davidrodgersNJ]

The Victorian era was so important historically, and yet it seems so little discussed in the popular press and media.

[ERASER1091988]

@davidrodgersNJ Hmm Loads of horrific things happened in Victorian era.

[debzeppeliniv]

there were hundreds of cotton mills in the American south, right on into the late 80s of the 20th century. not as bad as this, but bad enough for people to die from brown lung. the film Norma Rae portrays it quite close to the reality.

well a good chunk of humanity still lives like this... just not in England anymore...

[arianna19742000]

There is a very sad true about the Victorian industrialization.

There where children as young as 5 working from 7 AM to 11 PM. Many of them so tired that work accidents among children where very common. I remember reading once about a 6 year little girl who got caught underneath of a cotton machine and was literarily rip apart. Her limps where spinning in the machine, while her body was laying underneath.

[arianna19742000]

It was in a report for parliament, I believe in 1848 or 1853 when they put out a law saying that no children under the age of 12 can work in a factory, and they reduced the work hours. A historical reality that many idiots who write comments on here have no clue of , but as a parent, even 150 years later still brings me tears thinking of how many children where deprived of their childhood and never learn to laugh.

[scar504]

@1DerekRubin1 Are you stupid?

[HUGHVSM]

Is there nobody out there over the age of 6? Rarely have I seen such crap written as comments, with one exception - tekiapinky.

[ERASER1091988]

@HUGHVSM I'm six and a half

[calexculux]

Uhmmh SO THEY WERE LIKE THIS, AND THEY ABUSE AFRICA NOW. EHHHHHHH!!

[lamerockstar]

Hey, what church is the one they're talking about in the 6ish minute?, it's hard for me to understand british accents. English is not my 1st language. Please help, I have to make a 20-pages work about the Victorian era.

[elibennet]

´thanks for posting this! Where can I see the 2nd part?

[DavidTL]

My family, in history, is full of nobodies and ordinary people - just like yours. I find my family history fascinating, and I'm sure you'd find yours fascinating too. They would influence your life today greatly.

Yet it is so hard to research them, because there is so little information on them. It takes skill, patience and hard work to learn about them.

I talk to historians all the time; it's my job. What do you know? You haven't a single qualification in history at all.

[maureenOWW]

I don't find my family history interesting, although I am descended from Brian Og McMahon.

I have two history degrees, if you are that interested (one British, one American). I also have a degree in comparative anthropology.

You appear to be wrong on all counts, hence you quality as a 'fuckstick'.

Now stop annoying me you reactionary halfwit.

[maureenOWW]

-qualify, clearly..

[DavidTL]

You can't even construct basic sentences properly...

Anyway, you were the one who began the argument in the first place, when you used low-level and immature comments like "fuckstick" and "sad fuck"

I refuse to believe you are a) are capable of gaining two degrees or b) posses any degrees. Liar.

I see historians all the time as part of my job, and you in no way at all, hold any of their characteristics (being: mature, objective, open-minded and adult-like).

[DavidTL]

It is clear from your comments section that you are a lonely and hated crackpot anyway.

[maureenOWW]

Hmm, and yet you are the person spending you time constructing and posting laughably mediocre childrens entertainment for the plaudits of people you don't know. Fuckstick and sad fuck are perfectly mature and descriptive, you seem to be confusing 'mature' with middle-class and boring. The romans valued peoples ability to use foul language, a tradition I follow as much as socially possible. You cuntflap.

[maureenOWW]

As were Einstein, Newton etc.

[DavidTL]

I'm not middle class, I'm working class.

Simon Shama is middle class and he's certainly a boring fart.

Anyway, bye bye.

[electropopprincess]

You both claim to be learned people but you both sound childish taking pot shots at each other. You both have valid points but how about a little decorum?

[DavidTL]

Decorum? I was raised to show respect and decorum to people who have it themselves; unlike the lady here.

[DavidTL]

I know, but I was just using an example of somebody in history of whom very little people know of. There are plenty of other people too.

You seem to have veered off my main point anyway.

I said that what he researches is easy to do. I mean come on, Queen Victoria? Think of all the mass of books there are out there about her - it wouldn't be hard to make a program about her reign now would it.

I am merely saying that a real historian would be skilful if they could research anybody in history.

[DavidTL]

Nonetheless, a good video - thanks for sharing.

I had to buy the box set for £50 myself - I'd upload some extracts from it, but there are all sorts of copyright restrictions in place.

[DavidTL]

This is from Simon Sharma's History of Britain, produced by the BBC. A Jew by birth, Simon Sharma enjoyed a relatively luxurious life, attending to elite universities and having an endless source of cash.

He only does programs and works on the great and the good, the rich and the famous - anyone can do that because there's such a wealth of info. on them out there. A real historian would look into the life and works of an ordinary, working class man, whose existence is only known on BMD papers.

[maureenOWW]

Excuse me, but what the hell has his being Jewish got to do with anything? 'A real historian would look into the life and works of an ordinary, working class man, whose existence is only known on BMD papers. '

This makes no sense at all, if the only info you have are the BMD papers how the hell can you make a TV series about the person? It would last about 30 seconds. 'Ordinary' people led boring, uneventful lives, that's why we don't know about them.

[maureenOWW]

Oh, and he's a real historian, I hate to break it to you. I think it's clear that you're just envious that he is multi-talented, respected AND has an 'endless source of cash'.

You sad fuck.

[DavidTL]

"'Ordinary' people led boring, uneventful lives, that's why we don't know about them."

Once you start to delve into the imprints ordinary people left on history, you'll start to realise how wrong your statement is. There have been some amazing ordinary men and women, who did great things.

[DavidTL]

Captin Jourgen Jorgenson for example, not really well known, but he travelled the world in the 1800s, broke out of prison, got sent to Australia, got drunk playing cards and gambling all the time and even had to resort to putting his own clothes up in a bet once.

[DavidTL]

Isn't that better than the 14th Earl of something in somewhere. In all the books, all the stories, but so very boring.

[maureenOWW]

Firstly, a Captain is not an ordinary person.

Secondly, how the hell did he influence my life or British history in general?

"'Ordinary' people led boring, uneventful lives, that's why we don't know about them."

I was of course referring to the 99& of the population, who are, by definition, ordinary.

[theoldwelshdragon]

this is great. I adapted Mary Barton to be performed for some students many years ago and I wish I had been able to show them, just to put the play in its context. Very clear and informative. Thanks for posting
