  • I hate the History Channel. They fantasize almost everything. Now, I have not seen this documentary, but these shows like Ancient Aliens, Only In America w/ Larry the Cable Guy, and Decoded are the most idiotic things to ever be put on television. Even a lot of their documentaries are filled with fantasy, just focusing on a lot of speculation about things of the past, and they're simply made to entertain, not enlighten, the people who watch them.

  • my history teacher makes us watch story of us :O we watch it like every week.

  • Hell yes, I love Canada!

  • I'm not an American,, even then I find this show very inspiring!!!! Cheers to U , Americans & ur great forefathers..!! Big Respect - U deserve it!!! :-)))

  • hey! flashhasonewing! that was a VERY good speech about america and how proud you are that it's here

  • good speech!

    

  • this shit is historically inaccurate saw the one with pocahuntas and they tried to show a women in her early 20s when in reality she was only 11 or 12 when she met john smith.So many inconsistencies when take a different point of view. Like the louisana purchase the french stole the land from the natives and sold it to new englanders. Isn't buy or holding on to stolen property illigal in this country yet the US does it anyways.

  • I loved this show, really makes you proud to be an American

  • This was a very well done documentary! Helpful and enjoyable as it presents a broad picture of our history. Loved the use of cg too.

  • Comment removed

  • and don't forget that human civilization began in the middle east thousands of years ago and it's STILL a shithole there.

  • It's so bias...it as no historical value...it's pure propaganda.

  • @lebourru02 everything is propaganda, If it was showing americans just shooting people in the Vietnam war or something of that nature that would also be propaganda. and its a trailer for god sakes. If you want historical value, watch the documentary

  • The Britain scene we're all the red coats shoot there muskets is awsome

  • Don't believe everything you read...

  • Step 1: pause this video and mute it at the beginning.

    Step 2: open this video /watch?v=XYKUeZQbMF0

    Step 3: Play both at the same time.

    Step 4: Implode from the epicness!

  • we are the only country in human existence to have done what we have done in only 235 years of being a nation.

  • your quite right about no country is perfect because we as human beings are not perfect and we build nations

  • holy shit, i just came to this and i'm the 177,776 viewer. thats badass.

  • I LOVE THIS!! This helps me a lot in school :P

  • How can we, this generation ever aspyr to the generations before us? Because if we do, we may realize the tasks before us as trivial. I am not without apprehension of our future, my countrymen, But i have no doubt that the brilliance and ingenuity of our fathers live on in us.

  • They do

  • why dnt they guys included hiroshima? bagdad? afghanistan attacks?

    vietnam agent orange story?

  • @akshaytarfe it's the story of how it became, and they did include that stuff in the series... this is only the trailer

  • I may not be proud of everything we do, of everything the US does today, and of the way the people are becoming here, but I'm always going to love my country and I believe in it. It doesn't matter if it makes me proud, no country is perfect. This is my home, I was raised here. I'm not going to dwell on the few things my country doesn't provide me with, I have so much to appreciate, I mean, I'm free. I love my country, I'm proud of my ancestors, and I'm proud to be an American.

  • @flashhasonewing free??? try somking a joint on the street or tell a cop to fuck off and lets see how free you are. here in europe people are ALOT more free. i'm not trying to shit on you country or anything but you people live in a police state. you lack good and cheap healthcare.you guys can't even say shit on tv because that's a taboo and i can go on and on.

    i like going on vacation to youre country cause its beautifull to see but i wouldnt want to live there.

  • @japman17 Keep in mind. You say we cant say shit on tv but..Most movies you watch, the tv shows you watch, the food you eat, the sites you're on, the actors well most actors you love and know, are american, american made or somehow involved with america. We cant smoke pot there cuz its illegal here unless if you have the medical marijuana licenses..health care what does that have to do with being free? Different laws, different rules, works for us, doesnt work for us. The end.

  • @flashhasonewing "dont ask what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country"

    - JFK

  • @metheguy44 i agree w/that statement. : ) yes exactly, it is wonderful that my country has done so much for me, so now the best thing i can do is do my best to make it better any way i can.

  • 61 people are sucking a terrorist's dick as I type this!!

  • @enoch760 no they are sucking bobs cock meat sandwich

  • @enoch760

    It's posts like this that make us look bad.

    "If you're not with us, you're a terrorist!"

    I mean, really? I'm proud to be an American, but I don't know if you've noticed, but we've been fucking up lately.

  • @01000101011101100110

    Oi Troll! It was a "I dislike this" joke!!! ... that's all... now go back to yer cave....

  • @enoch760

    That wasn't a joke. Jokes are supposed to be funny.

  • Obama 2012.

  • @hotdogman67 Obama 2012...Yes.

  • @trooper40below interesting you want the Antichrist to win in 2012 ?

  • Whoever dislike this is a communist.

  • Makes me proud to be an American :D

  • RON PAUL 2012! LOOK HIM UP :) , RESTORE AMERICA NOW!!!!

  • 60 ppl are natives

  • @SuperSwend I think i just did?

  • all empire's will rise and fall one day wach out the yello pepole are coming with thier noooooodles

  • if only americans could be proud today, sadly now the nation which has nothing to be proud of

  • Comment removed

  • This series was either the biggest propaganda or meant for grade 3-4 students. This was a pretty sanitized version of US history. I suggest watching PBS docs. Iraq/Af war wasnt mention, no mention of reconstruction, or violence after civil war. The cliches are beyond plentiful by these dumb celebs "the fight for the soul of a nation" or "take no for an answer."

  • 57 fuckin foreigners

  • America is the wonderful example for an empire.Do a good things with a bad things.Important one is advantage for whose.Mostly inside.This is why americans are proud of their country and non americans have hate from nearly all over the world.Usa is something to change.It is about changing and evolving.Darwin's dream country is Usa.Every dream has a end.History never lie and time always win.

  • I watched it for the third time this week. I won't watch it again. In fact, I am throwing the DVDs in the trash. The series downplays or omits most of the most important events and persons in our history. It focuses on New York, slavery, Obama's beer buddy and Al Sharpton. It's A story, but it doesn't come close to THE story of America. It is way too subjective to be interesting any longer.

  • one day usa falls like the roman empire.

  • @banfieldCAMPEON100 Fuck you, America will always be moving on

  • @banfieldCAMPEON100 I dont like to think that(im not american).. but yes chinese will be the next big thing.

  • @banfieldCAMPEON100 inyour dreams buddy

  • yes you must be so terribly proud to be "american" .. you must be happy knowing your greedy ass fucked up ancestors slaughtered the REAL americans...

  • @cuzgandalfgothigh99 Technology — lightbulb, radio,Telephones, TV, nuclear reactor,Atom bomb, the laser, tanks, helicopters, cars, huge cars, submarines, skyscrapers, computers, and yes the INTERNET you are using right now was all made by Americans

  • @jdhkerdoc americans didnt invent helicopters.... nor tanks.. the germans did. and about cars i dunno who came up with but americans certainly make shitty cars yes. and the rest of those things i dunno really. (except the laser, i dont really think they made any lazer yet. perhaps you mean the tazer...)

  • @cuzgandalfgothigh99 Igor Sikorsky(german that was paid by us to) designed and build the first military helicopter, XR-4, which he delivered to Colonel Franklin Gregory of the U.S. Army.

  • @jdhkerdoc lol, the germans tested the very first helicopters in history while the americans werent looking. ;)

  • Comment removed

  • @cuzgandalfgothigh99 America is the envy of the world because free people have made a nation and its only 400 years in the making, American isn't just one type of people,we have EVERYsingle race,culture religion,people from everypart of the world and being combined in a Free nation where imagination is your limit the USA is the youngest and strongest superpower,

  • @jdhkerdoc and with a new superpower comes new problems... but this time like never before.... america is very young yes, and already has a government that is responsible for the biggest lies and scandals, genocides and foreign destruction and oppression. "america" owns almost every country they have come in contact with. america is going to fall just as fast as it came to power... how sad.

  • @cuzgandalfgothigh99 "america" owns almost every country they have come in contact with. america is going to fall just as fast as it came to power. Are sure these statements belong in the same paragraph you just contradicted yourself.anyway the information you just provided is irrelevant, we have become a superpower faster then anyone else we have set the bar so to speak. do you realize that we have come from 13 colonies to the first nation to reach and land on the moon?my logic is undeniable

  • @jdhkerdoc no, did you even bother reading half of my reply? im saying their economy system isn't working. along with every other of their system. oh, i just noticed, i wrote "owns" .... lol excuse me i thought i wrote 'owes' ... but you get my point i believe.

  • @cuzgandalfgothigh99 i know you cant tell by just reading but im having fun, Ok everyone knows America is in debt..its not the first time,what "other systems" do you mean? do you think your country is perfect without problems? why should you search a pro American channel on youtube and rag on a nation?are those symptoms of jealousy? Do you want to be an American? I mean you are taking time out of each day to inform an American that his nation is in debt...you get my point I believe

  • @jdhkerdoc i want to be an american? well if you mean one of those lying pale faced scumbags that infest that continent today... then No. but a native american? that would be an honor but require many rituals. :3 and yes.. if you compare norway to the rest of the world then its pretty much perfect... and you ever been here? no i didnt think so. every other system i mean: every of their tactics, plans, and future is going to fail. (btw if you think debating is fun you need to get a life.) >_>

  • @cuzgandalfgothigh99 your ignorance is more annoying than your piety insults..you don't take the time to actually research and know what you are talking about, our "tactics, plans, and future is going to fail" You dont know a thing about the US. To come on this video just to post your thoughts of something to know nothing about or have anything to do with is a waste of your life,

  • @jdhkerdoc waste of my life? you were the one that started this argument... -___- i know most there is to know about the U.S. , dont worry. ive been following them for quite a while. while i was a ignorant unknowing poor litttle kid i used to cheer for them, but i have LEARNED. ive admitted my mistakes and learned from them. i "came" on this video randomly while trying to find a HD commercial of history channel, and i noticed the over-proudly commments, poor fools. you're not proving anything.

  • @cuzgandalfgothigh99 haha  so that's the source, it bothers you that we are proud to be Americans, alright was fun but we are done here.

  • @jdhkerdoc theres nothing proud about being britains problem children.. just sayin.

  • @cuzgandalfgothigh99 haha I heard you the first time ,you dont like america, good for you.....

  • @cuzgandalfgothigh99 I certainly am not an experty but I can tell you that you have not built a Utopia. Tell me, how are the thousands upon thousands of Muslims doing in a country whose native birthrate is in the toilet and makes little effort to play a game of give and take with them? How is the whaling thing going for you? And if things are so great, than why has Norway made little effort to build anything beyond its own ego?

  • @shadowkitty56 norway is simple. we do not thrive upon mass economical progress or foreign destruction, we are peacefull. and even more respective to pretty much all races.. and despite that we are very rich and we manage fine. (ever heard about oil?) and our educational system isn't as backwards yours. we are still old fashioned in many parts and we are proud of it, we are used to living in harsh conditions so we will be just fine.

  • @cuzgandalfgothigh99 Education backwards??? Why in the hell do we make up half, or more, of the top 100 universities then? Oh and more than half of the top ten? Say what you will as you have that right, but I find it ironic that you have to use an american invention to insult our intelligence.

  • @cuzgandalfgothigh99 I take it you would prefer a Chinese oligarchy who listens to its own people as much as Homer Simpson listens to classical music?-Be my guest. Or, if this is not suitable, a world based on caste systems or how much money your father can bribe an official to get you ahead in life? I do not entertain the notion that my nation is exceptional, but I do not wish to see the world fall apart if this is what you truly think is an great alternative.

  • @cuzgandalfgothigh99 Get a life and stop posting your sad opinions on america, if you hate the country so much you shouldnt be given it your attention.

  • @ajcool240 because you're a magical wizard and you know automatically that i have no life rite? and those weren't opinions, that was a fact. you dont know what i mean perhaps? does the native americans ring a bell?

  • @cuzgandalfgothigh99 Look this shouldnt be bothering you, people have the right to be proud of their country. Most countries can't say their record are completly clean e.g countries in Europe.

  • there should be 1 more part. The part where america's economy get's ruin by the government.. :D What! it's true ;)

  • @YRUPLAYINGTHIS They actually mention the Recession in the last episode, just before they mention Ronald Reagon

  • Comment removed

  • ah.. ic why mericans have huge egos

  • oh. I thought they where building The Enterprise

  • @ahjohnny Thank you for saying that comment. I am also foreign born, but im also patriotic =D

  • It sucks that they completely skipped ww1 in this series. I know they weren't as envolved like the Canadians but they were still in it.

  • Being a Pakistani, everyone would expect me to hate America but i don't. I know Americans are great; it is just because they know how to make thier dreams come true. The biggest way to make your dreams come true is to WAKE UP!!! and Americans are Up to it...

  • I'm looking for the music from the TV commercial for this...any ideas?

  • God bless America!

    As I see this, I think of my ancestors who many of them left Ireland, during the famine, to live in the New World! Live was hard for them, but they eventually became part of legend.

    LONG LIVE AMERICA!

  • @longliveirelandd thank you :) and god bless Ireland

  • @longliveirelandd well you brought catholism to a protestant nation ....also bringing us the first corrupt president JFK ...thank you

  • @TheJasonDR your a dick. what happened to freedom of religion

  • @SDloco100 .....Catholism is a problem in my opinion since it makes you distant to christ ...also the Irish americans still do not perfectly assimilate to the mainstream society ...the germans do not call themselves german ....its all about perfect assimilation

  • @TheJasonDR no official religion, no official language, nearly everyone is an from somewhere else, this is the idea of america, we are the world, combined and we have been proving it since the beginning, different cultures can live together

  • @DarkFenix34512 only if those cultures assimilate...since multiculturalism has been proven to be impossible and it goes against human nature

  • @TheJasonDR if its so impossible how have we lasted this long, and its not impossible and actually its normal in nature. Variety is a condition of Harmony-Thomas Carlyle. You go look in the woods, you won't see one plant, or just one animal, you'll see many in the same area, and not all trying to eat each other

  • @DarkFenix34512 ...we have lasted this lon because everyone assimilates ...everyone really.... you have groups that refuse to assimilate like most black americans and many hispanics...

  • @TheJasonDR Right because we celebrate thanksgiving, a non religious holiday, we celebrate st pats, because everyone is irish, o wait no there not. Where tell me where this multiculturalism has been proven impossible? Look at guys in the military, all races and beliefs, they work together and become brothers, because they realize it doesn't matter what a person's beliefs and culture is. You respect them and they respect you. You say its impossible, they been doing it since the beginning.

  • @DarkFenix34512 ...some European leaders came out and made a very serious announcement some time ago ...about how multiculturalism failed in Europe ...leaders as In Prime ministers and Presidents of Europe

  • @TheJasonDR so because a politician says it won't work, we don't even try, and how europe has believed that and never thought the states would make it, let alone become the number one super power, so much that europe made major changes to its government and reformed many laws. After we rebelled and won against england, the whole world, went, we don't need to follow euro, we can lead ourselves, rebellions all over the place, africa, indo-asia, india. I wouldn't use europeans as an example

  • @DarkFenix34512 Europe tried Multiculturalism and failed...the U.S has Assimilation a messy form but Assimilation non the less...

  • @TheJasonDR so are you saying assimilation or better known phrase, melting pot is a bad thing? by the way I notice more white people refuse to adjust to modern culture, either way. What is the point your making?

  • @DarkFenix34512 Assimilation is a good thing...as I am Hispanic born in the U.S from legal immigrants...im still sorta connected with my parents homeland in a way....but my kids are going to feel even more american and distant from the hispanic culture

  • @TheJasonDR Well thats what happens, I'm a 3rd generation Irish immigrant, doesn't sound like much, but in america most came over 1800s, my family came over right before WW1, My grandma speaks with an Irish accent. blending is hard, but it happens either way, and I think it does work.

  • @DarkFenix34512 yeah I like assimilation ....the problem is that some groups refuse to assimilate perfectly ..and Irish is one of them ...for example germans have perfectly assimilated into american society...and so as the Poles and the British ...

  • @TheJasonDR so now your saying forgot your culture?

  • @TheJasonDR europe only has 1 president and he's herman van rompuy. some country's here have presidents like france but europe itself has a president to and only 1 and not plural like you said

  • @japman17 let me tell you that you're totaly wrong. on the wrong track I'd say! just one president for Europe!? do you study geography or something about Europe? I guess you know nothing about Europe.

  • @omargav2112 i live in the heart of europe , belgium.

    no you're wrong or you don't understand what i mean. the european union has one overarching president and he's called herman van rompuy and then some of the countries have presidents like france for example en countries like england have a prime minister BUT europe itself only has one president and with europe i mean the union and not al the countries apart. i know some countries have presidents here the union only 1

  • @japman17 thanks for your explanation. but as you may well know there're still a lot of power that EU president does not have and we can notice that seeing him when dealing with european leaders. It's not enough the power he has. and if the situation keeps like this Eu could burst! i hope not, I live in italy and I know quite well what I'm talking about. bye.

  • ABSOLUTELY, HANDS DOWN, THE BEST WORK FROM THE HISTORY CHANNEL.

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

  • What a great country. I live in Canada, in a few years ill be moving to america. My reason, in america capotilism isnt frowned apon. i am a capotilist and an entrepreneur. America is great because of the freedom and indavidualism, the choice to make your own way no one controling you. But right now the left is trying to destroy that obama care. the dept, and high taxes and regulations. Save america vote repubican!!!

  • 2011----83 per cent of american's cant find wyoming on the U.S.. map .but then again, must canadian's probably don't know where P.E.I is on the CANADA map...we north american's ARE getting DUMBER....sad.

  • @IAwzm What? Why'd you call me a dumbass? Leave me alone.

  • I remember watching this live, it was a 3 day long marathon, I loved it and now its here :)

  • America: a truly great nation forged by the smartest men of our age; also, a nation built on the genocide of the natives here before us.

  • Hmm what about Native Americans who lived in America and killed by colonists and other americans

  • @vitjoki91 name one nation that hasn't committed genocide or created refugees.

  • @Kelthuzad126

    canada

  • @aceofspades477 we killed natives with small pox!!!!

  • @wowzinger

    no we didn't.

  • @aceofspades477 yes we did!!

  • @wowzinger

    who canada or us. because i read that they never used small pox to kill natives and it was just a story

  • @aceofspades477 well we did it was somthing the teachers in school were adimit about teaching us canadian students. We used smallpox blankets to kill them!!!

  • @vitjoki91 oh welcome to the video mr. buzzkill

  • Hope that one day I'll move to America and became a citizen.

  • @sljedbenik

    wow really. i would go to Canada rather than America. America is getting poorer and poorer

  • USA nuff said

  • @DragonBallZ1333 But there are more than just this one though

  • Yeah there's a real shortage of documentaries about america isn't there.

  • this was one of the worst documentaries Ive ever seen. the reenactments were even worse than I can describe.

  • Ah men, those pilgrim/colonial ages are so interesting.

    Been waiting for a decent series about american history for yeas

  • I love "History of Mankind" series, but I love all world, because aren't worst or better countries :P

  • I wish they included in this show the death of Osama bin Laden.

  • God bless this divine founded Republic, that is the United States of America.

  • I don't know if the trailer gave me chills or if the room is too cold. Whichever one, this series is awesome. I watched it in History class... (:

  • 0:56 - 1:00 WHERE DOES THAT CLIP BELONG?! I WATCHED THE ENTIRE SERIES AND I NEVER SAW IT! o_0

  • @J88Wolf I finished the series today and kept thinking the same thing every time the introduction was on... Guess they never used the clip :-\

  • this is an awesome series. i must say. :)

    and how i study for my AP US History finals! haha

  • I watched this in school, we would all be so bored since my S.S teacher never did anything, than every time we wrapped up a unit she told us we were watching this and we all got really excited:D

  • im from europe but man only in america things can happen.....

  • @rafael77687able

  • Who is making that speech at 24 seconds?

  • Who is making that speech at 24 seconds?

  • Who is making that speech at 24 seconds?

  • America, the greatest country in the history of mankind! I love this series.

  • @Willredd94 Hahahah naive cunt

  • This was a great series that was put together very well.

  • Everyone who is Pro-America is WRONG! This country is corrupted and evil. When the final steps are implemented in the NWO we will see how many of you think this country is so amazing. We all have been brainwashed by our government through secret societies, its time to wake up America. Arm yourselves with knowledge so you will be prepared when the time comes. I use to love my country and always wanted to defend it, until I found out its all a lie. Be ready America, the time is coming.

  • @GalateProductions11 It's like this everywhere, no matter what country you live in. In some countries the corruption is less perceivable than others, or it's not as strong as others, but it doesn't matter, it is still there. You can only live your life and make the best out of it. Have fun, enjoy it, because there are no alternatives anyway.

  • @GalateProductions11

    what lies are you talking about

  • @GalateProductions11 maybe, but not everyone. There are people in this country with a heart of gold. The government may be corrupted but the people are not. As and american you could have looked further into what you are saying instead of saying the whole country is corrupted. Not everything this country does we are proud of but I can damn well say I will never stop loving the country I was born in. It's your home and you can make it right. Don't be going and saying like it's impossible.
