I think JP had his father killed it seems that anyone who gets in the way has a weird accident
makes you wonder, when is enough enough
That’s when we had steel mills in Pittsburgh and the Ohio area. There’s nothing left
literally searched this up to find the name of the intro song i fell in love with it after my s.s. teacher began playing these in class lolol
Shame Trump is in this. Ba bye…
1:01:58 I know tesla was a genious and was right about a.c. current. still i couldn’t imagine the feellings of frustration and anger when Edison whatched powerlessly how his former employee and competitor gained control over his dream of lighting up the world, more over his competitor and former employee Tesla making headlines whith Edison’s lightbulb is so ironic.
Definitely more Tesla
Edison’s DC was catching fire while Tesla’s ac safely worked
More American lies Nikola Tesla is the one who lit up America !!!!!!!!
Theft pf Tesla for a mean magnate 😅
The name of this should be “thief in the night” you might as well tell us Columbus discovered America…oh, wait… you already did
He helped silence Tesla, who had ideas for free energy. That’s how he lit everything up.
Tesla invented electricity not Edison
Tesla powered the usa
The younger generations of Americans, if America still exists and we finally have control over what goes in the history books, this scumbag’s true history needs to be told, with the real genius, Tesla, getting his due, finally
Change the history books to the truth, Edison was a fraud and a thief. He was no more than a ruthless businessman who stole inventions and failed to electrify America. The person who actually electrified America was Nikola Tesla
All wisdom comes from God. You are supposed to share your wisdom, not sell it. You got it free from God.
Edison was a liar and fraud. Despicable monster!
Edison did not electrify the USA, Nikolai Tesla did.
You are so on target. Your research shows you know what you are doing. You have taught me a lot. 😊 Thank you
38:53 I highly doubt Eddisons “Dark Path” was anything BUT light.. I mean the guy invented electricity for christ sakes.. No chance that path was dark lol
Too repetitive, seriously went down hill so fast in this series
Moving yes, forward no.
Edison is a terrible person and is not the one we should be crediting with “Electrifying America”
Who is “car-neegee”?
In 2002 I purchased the History Channel DVD set Founding Brothers, in it the narrator says America declared its neutrality in the Jay Treaty, this is WRONG!The Jay Treaty favored England, this is what angered France and a lot of Americans.Besides President Washington already declared American neutrality in 1793,the year before Jay sailed to England to negotiate the treaty.
amazing that westinghouse did not have Morgan taken care of…
The biggest weakness of this series is the constant repetition nature. Over and over they repeat themselves.
Morgan, the selfish slob!
Tesla was much smarter than Edison. He was like the Henry Ford of inventions.
So basically all I’m learning from this is in order to become successful you have create an opportunity, capitalize on it, and gotta get people smarter than you to work for and with you!!!!! This is wayyyyy better than anything on tv!!!!
Edison did not Electrfy America Tesla did ! History channel Lies!
I saw a documentary that described JP’s business as a front for others.
Seems like once that is known, the pretending should stop.
Unless it’s ignorance…
But, wouldn’t that be worse…?
White men did all this an Japan still lives in better condition than America so it’s pretty obvious white men need too go back too Britain an take you’re LGBT community with you
I have been enjoying this series. Thank you for posting them.
I’m not even watching this because if it wasn’t for Tesla u never hear about a Edison.
Wow, I can’t believe JP had his dad killed!
Never forget that Thomas Edison is often credited (or more accurately, maligned) with using electricity to kill an elephant as part of a publicity stunt. Also, he got rich off of stealing other people’s work.
I had a lot of knowledge about history and it was amazing things happens to the past
It’s funny how the road blocks in these Monguls life just magically disappeared. Lol
Should call it the j.p.morgan story
“the elephant killed 3 men, so electrocute it”
What crime did the elephant commit, first of all? The humqns who did this should be dissected by alien greys
He allegedly stole the light 💡 from a black man
Thomas Edison was the biggest con man in human history he literally didn’t do anything but steal people ideas or pay others to figure out his so called inventions . I don’t know why he is talked about anymore.
Why do we still pretend Edison was a good man he was a thief and used people and there ideas it’s nuts that he is so celebrated but Tesla who truly revolutionized the world as we know it is not even taught in school it does make me feel good that all the comments are about the true man of intelligence of Tesla
Tesla was the true genius, not edison..
White sux
THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAD WITH THE CAPITALIST BACK THEN WAS HOW THEY TREATED THE WORKERS LIKE DISPOSABLE SLAVES. WORKING A MAN 12 HOURS IS FINE IF HE WANTS THAT JOB BUT YOU HAVE TO PAY HIM LIVABLE WAGES AND POVIDE SAFTY.
