CANNIBALISM at Jamestown: The Starving Time

all that water and no fish....

I watch this because we where learning about it in my humanities class

I'm sorry, but they were just some sick f's plain & simple. Like, very stupid too, for even making that journey so ill prepared. There is great dignity with just dying if you must, many people have done that without resorting to this. If you think about it, there is always something else you can eat, even in a harsh winter, like, I don't know, hunt a rabbit or two? I give them no justification. Aren't these the same ones who immediately, upon arriving, started desecrating, digging up, Native American Graves? Looking at everything that transpired subsequently, I don't really have sympathy for them 🤷🏽‍♂️

So in other words James Town was a failure until they imported African Slaves to aggregate tobacco and help lay the brush and push into Indian territory. Why not just tell the whole Truth? This trying to talk about slavery is weird and disingenuous. This is why whitewash history is fading out. People want the whole Truth. Not the white-wash fantasy version.

el primer asentamiento en norteamerica fue el imperio Espanol en san Agustin La Florida

English on Spanish soil????
It was New Spain

Sounds like they were just sick..cause fishing is easy...

Long live native american

Why have the music overpower the dialogue........ANNOYING!,

Why dont they talk much about the Powhatan Indians that killed anyone who left the fort, keeping them in there to starve

Why was it horrifying for the Virginia indians during the 1607 to 1610 period? There weren't that many settlers. Negligible added pressure on the plentiful food supply in the rivers and forest. The settlers were outnumbered. Again, why horrifying for them during that early period?

Damn I'm hungry

There’s one thing in common I’ve noticed about covering this particular story. People always leave out the fact that this is before they had slaves to do the work for them. Why didn’t they fish? Bc they didn’t know how. Why not hunt? Wasn’t good at it. Why not grow crops? Bc Europeans weren’t a agrarian people.

Lose the mask next time please

Stop it they where eating each other with the help of FBA slaves 😮

Thank you!! Such a great video! God bless.

Cry Me a river for a colonist INVADING indigenous.

Stolen land

And then skaves

Hmmmm smh

180/240 died in 09. Selection is an inevitable phenomenon in Bio. If you aren’t an evangelical you don’t have to bother calling evolution evil. Global warming is next, we will lose at least 2 billion of eight before we bother fixing our androgenic problem with nuclear winter. Anpetuwaśte. Ćetañ Wićemina wauň

Fantastic video! Really well done. Gave me the feels. Had me crying over my ramen noodles. Thankful to eat! 😢🍜

was this made during the early days of covid?

⚫🟤King James was not a Caucasian Edomite🔴🦅. Not true 💯 other countries know she's lying

Nope🔴🦅 they used to eat us ⚫🟤🪶💯💯💯

Starving Time Historians for Trump! 🇺🇸

My ancestor Stephen Hokins arrived as relief in the Sea Venture after it shipwrecked in Bremuda. He was at John Roelf and Pocahontas wedding. He would return to England for a few years and then in 1620 bring his wife and children over on the Mayflower, his son Oceanus was born at sea. Of everyone who came in the Mayflower he was tge only person who had already been to the New World and knew how to handle Native American relationships. I'm a direct descendant through his son Giles Hopkins.

Having attended 4th grade in1960s Va , Jamestown was a big deal in Va history teaching. We got to go on a field trip there and Williamsburg....geeat learning experience

Her eyes are magnificent!

How dare they kick her out ! : (!

She is so beautiful!!!!!!

I think about her a lot. Looking at Jane's facial reconstruction, she could have been any girl I went to school with. It just makes me wonder...what was her name? Was she quiet or restless or brave or did she cling to her dreams of a better life? I know I'll never know and it drives me nuts.

The NATIVES were WAY TOO kind!!!!

So land confiscation was accepted as a way for a better world ? (The so called reason for them coming) Missing pieces on this so called HISTORY. The men who came weren't a bunch of school marms....they were ready to fight. I surely wouldn't be too happy if someone wanted to live in my back yard, kill the game that fed my family, etc....🙃

well, if someone moves in next door and starts eating their own i won't wait until they're out of bodies to make sure they won't be eating me.

Who. Are. You. Babes. I. Like. You

Brings new meaning to going out for an Indian meal

Kind of eerie when you know you're family was there.

What would archeological evidence of cannabalism look like?

Silly question, why didn't they fish?

It seems kind of silly not to talk at all about the details of what happened to Pocahontas or even say one of her actual names. The fact that Amonute was forcibly abducted and taken to England in order to punish her father and the Patawomeck people as a whole definitely went a long ways in deteriorating relations to the point of siege. I think you have some tunnel vision here and I encourage you to do better not to perpetuate the Eurocentric settler fantasy narrative in future. I am genuinely interested in Jamestown and the experiences of the colonists there, but this framing of it is so frustrating. Also, I can’t believe in America the standard is STILL to refer to indigenous Americans as Indians?. It just feels like a joke to begin with.
Sincerely, an indigenous person from Canada (where at least people don’t call us Indians anymore)

My mom family came from there. Collier, Jordan were the names. My bucket list is to come to Jamestown

First time I find a historical face that looks like mine and it’s a cannibal victim😭😭

🦴☠🦴☠☠

Did the natives attack because the new settlers lied to them? Loved your video, well done.

this was a very well done and educating story. thanks for taking the time to share it.

Jamestown was worser than a P Diddy party and literally created wendigo spirits

More or less that's what's happening in Italy

Why you talk with them hands?
