Welcome to Historic Forrest. History and Travel are my hobbies. I have created a UA-cam channel dedicated to History, Historical Sites, Historical Events, Genealogy, My Travel and Timeshares.
A little about me. My name is Steven Forrest. I retired from the federal government where I worked for the Department of the Navy for 36 years. Most of that time was spent at the Naval Audit Service. I have a degree in Physics, with a minor in Mathematics. I also have a Masters of Business Administration. I have also spent over 20 years as a Revolutionary War re-enactor and a War of 1812 re-enactor. I am a member of the Norfolk Historical Society and I am the Fort Norfolk Historian for the Norfolk Historical Society. I have always enjoyed history and now I have the time to explore history more.
I hope you enjoy this UA-cam Channel.

The Colonel by Zachariah Hickman
Thank you for the tutorial! I've purchased a used one recently and started hearing about aluminum corrosion from the stainless steel bolts. I read you can add rubber flushers to prevent direct contact. Is this something to be concerned about?
I have heard that some metals will react with aluminum. I can not tell if the bolts in the kit will ever cause a reaction.
When you start with claiming you know what they government wants, you lose credibility. See the video "What Lurks Behind Conspiracy Theories."
Thank you for your service sir
I was not in the Navy. I worked for the Navy for 36 years as a government employee. I worked on many ships and Naval Bases.
There is no getting out of it once they have you You can kiss your money goodbye and your credit score
It is difficult to get out of a timeshare or vacation club. Some people like them and some do not like them.
I am a African American from Virginia and had never heard of Juneteenth before 2020. I do think that marking the end of legal slavery is worthwhile because it marks an important historical turning point in our history. Slavery and later Segregation were two institutions that prevented the United States from being the hallmark of freedom I believe it was meant to be. Juneteenth is more convenient than December whatever, because Juneteenth was a well established thing in some parts of the south. So I do not subscribe to the adoption of Juneteenth over a December date being a South bad vs North good thing. Additionally, I knew that Kentucky was not affected by the Emancipation Proclamation, but I thought Maryland was the other slave state that fought with the North and still had slaves. However, it looks like Maryland ended slavery in 1964 with a change to it's constitution. The fact that slavery was legal in Delaware was a complete surprise. You do learn something new every day. 😃
Thank you for your comment. I am glad you looked deeper into history.
GALVESTON, TEXAS
You experts really think natives hid their own temples, under a pile of dirt. Who were they hiding it from? If I had a brain, I would think the conquering forces buried the past.
Delaware & Kentucky can hardly be described as "Northern states". They were Southern slave states that were coerced into "fighting for the North" in 1861, as were Missouri & Maryland. The Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in states in rebellion, which absolved those 4 states, not to mention, Lincoln knew the E.C. stood on dubious legal grounds that the Supreme Court would surely shoot down after the Civil War. that's why Lincoln pushed for ratification of the 13th Amendment. Only then were all slaves really freed, which Lincoln did not get to live to see.
WOW
Wow
The reviewer mispronounces the name of the hotel. Doesn't lend to credibility. Otherwise, it's a good video review.
Why no coverage of the displays of some of the ceremonial points they have? I was here in 1986 and there were display cases of different artifacts found here,including very long ceremonial pieces made from flint from the Duck River in Tennessee. Do they no longer have this on display?
Most of these items are no longer on display. They have a room at the visitor center with empty display cases.
@@HistoricForrest That is so unfortunate. I was absolutely stunned at what I saw in 1986. There were very ornate ceremonial points about 3 feet long or longer of one continuous piece of stone. Maybe there was some concern over theft or something. I feel so Blessed to have seen them in '86.
Found your video by accident. I grew up around there and in the 1950's we would come over and watch the digging on the C mound as they excavated. We fished a lot in the Etowah River there also. The A mound had a number of trees growing on the side and top up until about 1997. Looks like the NPS has stripped the mounds and plaza of those. There were also some open excavations that were on display to the east of the B mound that showed the post holes of buildings and the one hand forged Iron nail that they found on the site. There are a number of near by interesting sites also. Large Civil War era blast furnice if you go up river towerd the Etowah dam, Fort Mountain with it's mystery fort on top surrounded by rifle pits, the Cherokee Peace and War towns, and Chief Van's plantation home. The museum at Etowah Mounds used to display skeleton material as well as native artifacts. Federal Law governing native remains changed about thirty years ago and the remains were all returned to the tribes that claimed historic occupation of the areas all over the nation. They re-buried their supposed ancestors out of respect which is nice. There are a number of un-marked sites of small villages in the Etowah Mountains and farther west where the artifact hunting after a good rain was always fun.
THIS DAMN VIDEO MADE MY EYES DRY.
The river was also there main means of transportation for trade with other villages.
Good point
The official narrative just doesn't make any sense.There's no telling what's REALLY contained within these mounds-but,I've no doubt that the artifacts would point towards the existence of giants, cannibalism and support biblical texts.
I want to go here
I visited Ponce on business, but it was before this discovery. Wonderful city with wonderful people.
I love st augustine
It has been years since I have been there. I remember looking down on the ground and there were literally thousands of very tiny pieces of pottery on the ground. A friend of mine who is an Indian archaeologist told me some of these villages would have as many as 10,000 people in them, a city more than a village. Thank you for this video.
That would be great to see all of that pottery pieces.
Great video
Nice video
Gen oglethorpe demolished this fort in 1733 and established the settlement of Darien at that time you can still see the ruins of fort Darien on the waterfront of downtown darien
Thanks for the great info.
Very nice tour thank ol you
Throughout all history, most cartoonists were absolutely terrible.
If someone is going to make a video like this, please learn from this man. He shows everything and exactly what to do. Thank you, sir, for a job well done. I just bought one of these and found it helpful.
I am glad it was helpful.
I need to see up close at what you ate doing only my left side light is coming on
@@benbandz165 All I can say is check your wire connections and test the light itself. The light might be bad.
I live just a few miles from here. A lot of history in the area. You popped up on my feed. I see you are an adventurer and historian. Definitely going to give you a sub. Can’t wait to dive into your library of work.👍🏼
Thanks
Love this. Ty nice video
Thanks
Republicans freed the slaves. Democrats in Texas kept their slaves for another two years anyway. Finally those slaves were also freed two years late...... Modern Democrats instead of celebrating the day slaves were freed nationally, choose to celebrate when democrats in texas finally freed their slaves. Its clearly an attempt to steal credit for freeing the slaves from Republicans. Its deceptive.
One Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation slavery was over. The 13th amendment was already being drafted. The slaves would not be unfree after the war The South seceded to keep and hopefully expand slavery. Some border states didn’t succeed and slavery was still legal. All this means is some states were not willing to leave the Union to preserve and expand slavery
Great video on a rare cannon.
Hidden in plain sight. Giants are buried in these mounds.
Juneteenth is a lie, the end of slavery was in December 1965 when Kentucky and Maryland ended slavery.
Seems Juneteenth should be a celebration of slaves gaining freedom through the deaths of too many white an black soldiers. I wonder how many who celebrate Juneteenth ever give a thought to the 360,222 Union soldiers who died and so many other who were wounded for their freedom? From the comments around the web it seems that few if any ever do.
They day has nothing to do with what they are trying to make it be about. Probably be helpful if those in charge did a little research on what they are promoting
I also believe Missouri, Maryland and newly accepted into the union in 1863 West Virginia were slave states of the north. Five states total.
Could you make this video slower?
The narration is extremely monotonous
Most interesting thanks 🙏🏼
Thanks for the Historical Perspective. My experience is DEFINITELY that I've seen racial relations improve dramatically in the South since the 1960s, and advance amazingly in California until the last few decades of general insanity there. In college in Connecticut 67 to 72, I felt as though I was in a time warp back to the early 60s... But that might have just been the general social antagonisms of that decade.
I can't really disagree with your narrative and logic. But the real disparity between the North's claim to MORAL Superiority to the South's institution of Slavery is the persistent Racism and resistance to integrating the migrating black population that moved to the Northern States seeking employment in the growing industries. This continued for generations while the Defeated Southern States were languishing in Reconstruction and a series of economic recessions over the period from Reconstruction to the industrial urgency of preparations for WWII. Racism in the NORTH has been every bit as oppressive for Blacks, forcing them into the decaying congested slums of Northern cities, where they were as Fully Segregated from the white population as ANY city in the South, and opportunities for good jobs and education were severely restricted, almost as effectively as by the Southern states' LAWS. The difference is that the Northern cities did not need to pass legislation to accomplish the segregation. The Black population relocated piecemeal into Northern Cities, and white property owners simply did not steer them to white neighborhoods. The discrimination was "silent," unspoken, but just as absolute as any Southern legislated actions. Most Northern cities still have "ghettos" that are almost entirely black, as do many Southern cities. The causes of this persistent condition are many and complex, but it is at least fair to say that Northerners cannot claim to be morally pure in the matter of racism. We all have a ways to go on the path to enlightenment, and I got my blind spots and prejudices along with everyone else. Tryina be more aware of'em.
this is just stupid. Trying to make something about what day was picked. Sophomoric program by someone who appears to have a reading disability
Another fact, July 2nd, 1776 is the official Independence Day. Plus Galveston, Island is an Island. Not Galveston, Tx. Galveston is an island - not a state, city, town, country, or county is an Island . Also bad English saying as - he or she is visiting in Galveston, in Galveston is that your buried ( dead ) in Galveston as my Family is. You say , he or she is visiting on Galveston, Island means there alive. I'm a BOI - Born On the Island . I wasn't born in it.
I appreciate the info. But oh dear cam you get any more slower and dramatic....

It's wonderful to know that Slavery was abolished but, aren't the Illegal immigrants suffering the same today? explotation and labor contract abuse?
