In which John Green teaches you about railroads, and some of the ways they changed the world, and how they were a sort of microcosm for the Industrial Revolution as a whole.

Mr. Green I wish you could be my professor & friend always forever near me. You are awsome. The production on Rise of The West did not have a lot of great content. What was & remains great is how well educated you are. I hope you will do many or one great thing in Government with your knowledge you must see things others can not see. You must use this hard earned attribute for greatness. Come on

And now, we again face a generation that will likely have it worse off than their parents. Not because of disease or -not enough iphones-, but because of greed, debt, and economic inequality.

from grade 3 to 8 all my teachers and classes were recorded onto VHS tapes, and I learned via the TV. id say it was a pretty successful program, at least enough to validate the idea.

You mentioned the three places I've lived in one video and I didn't think Bridgwater would ever be mentioned on a video with global reach xD

Mr. Green. The production is a brilliant enrapture formula only the 2019 production with the loss of pitch & pace has lost the integrity.
