Will children who are not homeschooled learn our history, or only select and edited moments of it?

The feeling I got from both of these videos came from the same thought.
I seldom click play on videos. The first rubbed me the wrong way, and I cannot accurately articulate why, other than the editing and the narrator’s angry voice. It’s almost like they’re trying to program people. Well, they do call them programs, I guess.
I clicked pause on the second when I heard the music.

Note the use of music.
Filmmakers realized this one weird trick a long time ago.
So now, we watch the news and it’s got ominous or happy background music, depending on what Emotion they want to program into the computer. (You.)

What’s your problem?
You talk to yourself constantly, often set up straw men, then shoot them down. Why not have a conversation with someone else, for a change?

Did you take “you people” as an insult, Stella? I meant that in a good way.
For people like us, those videos are chock full of, at least, nods to knowledge.
And if Stella’s Place denizens are a figments of my imagination with whom I’ve actually had many wonderful conversations for the last four or five years then either I regret all those hallucinogens I took in my twenties, or you need to drive over to South Haven and sit down with me and explain your outburst, over coffee.

What’s my problem? You know me by now, enough to know that it’s nobody here.
I do talk to myself a lot. I don’t really agree that I build windmills and then tilt at them. They were pre-existing structures.
And I know that I’ve had more meaningful conversations among you folks than in most of my “real life”.
Between posts, I just helped drill holes in a concrete floor (with a metal ceiling beneath) with five or so different tools, off the clock, for flush-mount floor drains, because I give a dang about the business.
My ears are ringing from the noise, and I’ll be picking black snot out of my nose in the morning, despite the dust masks.
Yes, I post strangely, sometimes. Life is strange. Just know that when I post a comment, I still love you all. I’m not talking to myself, here, even when venting.
(Howie posts strangely. Nyet, too. Have you ever asked them ‘what’s they prollem?’
And yet they love you all, too, and it’s obvious.)

Hi Stella, I was out at my folks most yesterday came home and read the exchange here and thought there was a misunderstanding. I think Wooly just took a long route to say “You’re preaching to the choir” and was expressing his frustration that such simple truths such as our history are lost to political correctness. I don’t think he meant to be insulting.
Anyhow that is how I read it from the outside looking in.

As the British marched through Lexington on too Concord, the alarm was spread throughout the country side. Of the 22,000 members of the Massachusetts Colonial Militia only a small number, less than 2000 responded. A relief column set out from Boston, and met the returning column on the Lexington road, half way between Boston/Lexington. A well done too those Citizen Soldiers!

By the way, our family has another candidate for DAR, which one of my cousins is working on – Noah Edson (Mass and NH).
One of these days I’ll get to Vermont to investigate my Hurd branch.

idk if you saw my last update regarding the VT/MI connection i left in the tree mail a few months back but i still check around for you. Key would be to dig thru VT birth records and MI death records and learn what the “informants” have written on those vitals. Also check around the marriage records and see who was in the party or witnesses if available maybe find his parent or a siblings name. Lots of same surnames in that areas and mangled spellings
and VT wasn’t fully formed so tricky to navigate the boundaries.
I found N jr civil war records info but nothing there regarding history that we didn’t know already however one of the late 1800 census records listed him as a “carriage maker” 🙂
Great news about possible new candidate! Is NE related to Kingman? if so, he is listed in the DAR database but the applications are from such early times of the society would need to provide the paperwork connecting the lines of the very early generations.
keep me posted.

Funny, but Nathan Jr. is married to a Perry, and his sister, Mary, is also married to a Perry (Nathan’s wife’s brother). A Hurd cousin of mine is also married to a Perry, several generations removed, but the same family (same line). I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Kingman related to my family.

ps, did i ever tell you I found NH will, written 1866 at 73, he died 12/1868 and paperwork filed Jan 10, 1869. Amos was the executor
-also an 1820 census listed NH living in Franklin, Swanton Co VT
-possible 1830 census listed a NH and 7 other H surnames as heads of household
in Newport Sullivan Co New Hampshire. Need more info to tie coz the questions back then were very basic on the census reports but ages fit.

Thanks! I found the will also, and the census but, as you say, it’s difficult to know if it is the same family. I do know that Nathan moved from Vermont to Canada, married his first wife (mother of the children) Rhoda, before moving to Michigan. Nathan Jr. and the next four children were born in Canada from 1825 to 1833. The family moved to Lapeer County, MI, in 1835 (date of first land patent).
I need to dig more in the Canada records.
Rhoda died, and Nathan married again in 1860. The second wife is the mother of my great-grandmother (Amos’ wife).
The second wife’s maiden name was Alfreda Edson (married Truman Ferry). Their daughter, Rosella (married to Amos Hurd), is my great-grandmother.

Alfreda Edson and Nathan Hurd Sr. didn’t have children together. Her children were all fathered by Truman Ferry. We aren’t sure if Truman Sr died before the Civil War, or if he and Alfreda were divorced sometime between 1840 and 1850. Their last two children show up in the 1850 census, when they are all living with Albiram and Lucy Edson in Ohio (and all are listed as “Edson” in the census). In the 1860 census she is living with the Nathan Hurd Sr family, but listed under the surname “Pherry”.
Not only did Nathan’s son (Amos) marry Alfreda’s daughter (Rosella), but Nathan’s daughter (Mary) married Alfreda’s brother, Henry Edson.
