This half-hour documentary is for those looking for background information about the real struggles of New Yorkers in the 1800s. Featuring archival pictures, documents, writings, and comments by scholars, this is a good little documentary from discovery that takes you beyond Scorsese's 'Gangs of New York' movie and into real life.

  • gangs of new york set is the most amazing set ever.

    thanks

  • When did gangs went from White people to Black people?

  • @yutuboslaven would you have us all be poor, such as in communist russia? would you have an absolutist ruler crush the people with an iron fist? freedom is the cause on which this country was founded, and freedom will remain on the soil of America. God Bless America, Long Live The Republic. Freedom or Die.

  • This was before History Channel and Discovery became all the Apocalypse and fear-mongering for ratings.

  • Dear Lord Jesus,

    I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and rose from the grave to give me life. I know You are the only way to God. So now I want to quit disobeying You and start living for You. Please forgive me, change my life and show me how to know You. In Jesus' name. Amen.

  • @Lovesgoats you should pitch that to rockstar that would be wicked

  • @jake666thehellion

    Your comparison is poor and your argument is flawed. The government does not have a responsibility to "take care of said neglectees". Free citizens take care of themselves. The role of the government is clearly outlined in the US Constitution. Problems arise when government intrudes into the lives of citizens and infringes on their freedom and liberties which is occuring in 21st century America.

  • HAHA at "3:20" buddy say "only the poorest people wanted to live there" yeah im sure they Wanted to live there. They had to. Can tell buddy has never been poor and cannot relate. to real people. 

  • I loved this movie and I love history, therefore this documentary is awesome!

    Thanks for the upload!

  • the dead rabbits and the natives would bring the corleones to their knees lol
