IMPORTANT CHANNEL DISCLAIMER:
Please note we try to be as accurate as possible when it comes to historical facts, but in many cases facts and figures have become lost or forgotten over the many years. Old photos prior to 1900 are very hard to come by also, so many of the same images are used in various videos. Times and dates get skewed over the years also, as do people and names.
REMEMBER, these videos are produced for entertainment purposes only.
