Check this out: My Cousin William Walker, 5 generations back. One of the wildest in our Family. The 1800s was a wild time in history especially in the United States and manifest destiny. Many of his other family members were doing incredible things in the United States and he felt like this was his path. Same family as: • Samuel Hamilton Walker, the Original Walker Texas Ranger, Walker County Texas named after him. Co-inventor of the Walker Colt revolver 1847 saving Samuel Colts company from going bankrupt. The Walker revolver is the official gun of the state of Texas. Battle of Walkers Creek vs Comanche 1844. Invited by James K Polk to tell the story of what happened and meet Samuel Colt • Jacob Walker Last Defender to Die in the Battle of the Alamo according to Survivor Susanna Dickinson. Stationed on the Earth where it's ramp inside of the chapel on the 12 lb Cannon. He died right next to her in the prayer room 1836. • Asa Walker defender of the Alamo 1836. • Joseph Rutherford Walker one of the first trail blazers of the Santa Fe Trail 1821, first to lead a wagon train past the Rocky Mountains 1832, first white man to discover Yosemite valley, led many to the California Gold Rush. His brother is Jacob Walker who died in the Alamo. Many places named after him such as Walker Lake NV, Walker River California / Nevada, Joe Walker Town California, Walker Arizona. He is credited as being one of the first guides to lead wagon trains American westward expansion pass the Rockies to the Pacific Ocean. • James Walker Sr first of 300 American settlers invited by Mexico to buy land in Texas 1824, the Stephen F Austin Colony, Washington County Texas • James Walker Jr fought in the battle of San Jacinto along side family cousin Sam Houston 1836.

Also was a US congressman for North Carolina Buncombe county. During a house speech regarding the Missouri Compromise the word "BUNK" was coined from our grandfather's speech because he was from Buncombe County NC. That is where the word Bunk comes from. • 6th GGF John Walker wrote one of the first Declaration of Independence from British tyranny for his Tryon County in North Carolina in 1775 which is what the US used as a template to write the famous Declaration of Independence. George Washington is our first cousin 9 generations back. They fought together in the Revolutionary War. John Walker was George Washington's aide de camp • Cousin Doak Walker who the Doak Walker award is named after for the best running back in college football. He is in the College Football Hall of Fame and the NFL Hall of Fame and the Detroit Lions Hall of Fame. So many more Walker stories....>> <<@markoberacher8191 says : I wanted to hear about this guy but then I remembered it was this guy talking and then I was like nah never mind>> <<@wallythetrooper9127 says : Yeah, that’s how colonialism typically went. Some dude showed up with his buddies to some more primitive culture that they were able to easily dominate militarily and then they just told their home country “hey, we own this place now”.>> <<@LovelyCentaur-or5qd says : I found myself in Trujillo, more or less by chance, and visited William Walker's grave. Just reading up on the little town id stumbled in in Lonely Planet 😅>> <<@Ryannnnnnnnnnnnnnnn says : 23:53 It wasn't really a biopic in the usual sense. It was a satire occasioned by the Iran-Contra affair.>> <<@electronicsworkshawp says : please get a different narrator, sheesh that voice is unlistenable>> <<@jmagana166 says : Now the Nicaraguans scramble to get into the US 😂… Having the US control Central America would have been great>> <<@ferretman6790 says : When racism meets unchecked autism>> <<@ferretman6790 says : 1800s were wild. You could literally, as a private citizen, invade a country, become a national celebrity for it, and forever cement yourself as central Americas biggest opp, and it happened so many times that they actually had a name for it…….>> <<@ianskyers4306 says : 13:23 • the era of manifest destiny 🙄>> <<@OnThisSideOfCompton says : That's who started the Cartel... Him and the members he left behind in Mexico when he ran .. cuz of him Mexico got robbed of Texas... It's n records in Spanish from Spain To South America right back to Mexico .. 🕵️‍♀️>> <<@juansantana8448 says : another "wonderful" and very democratic historic legacy of the English, and a "good" example for the rest of the planet...>> <<@davehasenford3985 says : the u is silent. it makes a “wa” sound>> <<@davehasenford3985 says : He made the same mistake as every failed latin american leader. he pissed off american business interests>> <<@GuillermoLeiton-w7s says : PREGUNTALE AL.PALIDO ESE POR JUANIITO MORA PORRAS DE NUESTRA AMADA COSTA RICA 🤣🤣🤣>> <<@AbnerCorea says : I´m from Honduras, the place where the filibuster was murdered, thanks for your video it is very good.>> <<@LEB_unendlich says : The first time I heard of him I missunderstod his name and thought his name was William Wonka.>> <<@jessicamorales2555 says : Being a costarrican myself and listening that William Walker lessons remain to this day, is equivalent to talk about the lessons from Osama Bin Laden to US....>> <<@lndyaquino1115 says : He was trying the same formula of the Texas annexation to the USA, by means of populating the area with US immigrants and then becoming part of the USA. Fortunately Mexicans have learned a thing or two about their neighbors modus operandi. 😅>> <<@jorggamingcr409 says : I'm a 33yo costarican, since childhood we learn about Batalla de Rivas, the 1856 history in school. Every year we celebrate April 11th as a national day for Juan Santamaría who burned Walker's headquarters in Santa Rosa. For some reason I never thought until yesterday, we central americans remember Walker in disdain, one of our most hated enemies...but I have never tought about how is he remembered or known in onther parts of the world, specially in USA...and since yesterday I have been down on a rabbit hole looking for this on internet lmao.>> <<@WhatIsTS76 says : Finally someone talking abt William Walker>> <<@Cacciatore_Raccoglitore says : It's fascinating how this "documentary" portatrayed this man>> <<@austin859_ says : It's crazy that I first started doing some digging on Ancestry and I found out that William Walker is my 4th cousin 6x removed>> <<@rtnas2434 says : "Three soldiers stepped forward to within twenty feet of him and discharged their muskets. The balls entered his body, and he leaned a little forward; but, it being observed he was not dead, a fourth soldier mercifully advanced so close to the suffering man that the muzzle of the musket almost touched his forehead, and being there discharged, scattered his brains and skull to the winds. Thus ends the life of the 'Gray-eyed man of Destiny.'" New York Times October 5, 1960 Lol bye>> <<@TheRayvolution says : Interesting. Imagine thousands of modern William Walkers. 🤔>> <<@cfgpropertiesllc7292 says : The worst person in history.>> <<@eduardoduarte5892 says : So Honduras saved Central America and South America from slavery… well done Honduras 🇭🇳.>> <<@thelion2751 says : Hahaha thanks to this guy my entire side of my dad family hate americans he is always saying americans are just racist idiots and colonizers who need to get the hell out from other peoples countries,this was a something my family is at fault because you know not everyone was like this>> <<@ThisNinjaSays_ says : And somewhere in Germany a certain painter was taking notes and dreaming about his own German manifest destiny....*In Eastern Europe*>> <<@jacobnorvell7412 says : Walker is my great uncle , his mother is Mary Norvell>> <<@TheDas9582 says : Alex Cox’s Walker is an underrated gem.>> <<@denigster says : sounds like the guy who is resposible for all the evil in the world>> <<@kristinmcinnis8509 says : Did he just say “disgusting poopy missile”?! 😂>> <<@josephmohammed4456 says : Im honduras living Canada, we murdered william walker. He was doing what usually english ppl does poison the lakes. So we dealt witj william walker good and ww proud of it.>> <<@chiefraka19akaironlungs32 says : jajajaja he conquered Nicaragua jajajaja! he invaded most definetly didnt conquer Nicaragua stop it.. He had colonies small ones.. He didnt conquer all of Nicaragua... To say that he conquered Nicaragua means the u.s would own it...thats not the case... im not surprised with the euro decent of sore loser mentality...oh well yall lost against Nicaragua jajaja>> <<@pyromania1018 says : I'm glad he failed. His goal was to strengthen pro-slavery positions in the US, so he deserved the pathetic end that he got.>> <<@rickkflores says : I'm the decedent of general Mariano Paredes my great greatfather president of Guatemala died in Granada Nicaragua fighting that pirate>> <<@v.emiltheii-nd.8094 says : The "Captain": "Finally a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!">> <<@v.emiltheii-nd.8094 says : Gotta give him props for trying.>> <<@PozoBlue says : In Nicaragua, kids learn about William Walker as "that crazy gringo that invaded for like a hot minute out of sheer luck and was so deluded he declared himself president". He is remembered like an almost comical bonkers character/chapter of history. Hubris and arrogance personified with a dash of nuttiness.>> <<@amandajones661 says : TN sure did produce some horrible men. Andrew Jackson among them.>> <<@jeronimotamayolopera4834 says : LOVE WAR.>> <<@Akron162 says : In Costa Rica he is our own personal Hitler. Funny how he is pretty much a forgotten nobody everywhere else.>> <<@arislopes1924 says : As a Nicaraguan one part of me feels anger for everything walker did like burning down Granada and destroying all the major colonial buildings the Spanish build originally, but in the other hand if he would had stay on power today Nicaragua could possible be a US state or territory along with Guanacaste in Costa Rica>> <<@rickkflores says : My great great grandfather died fighting this tyrant general Mariano Paredes>> <<@OllieRamone says : I am ashamed he came from the US. Throughly disgusted.>> <<@russ6306 says : To this day the most hated gringo in Central America.>> <<@kt8223 says : Here I am searching all about Nicaragua. took a dna test trying to know more about me, oh ! I’m 40% native 40% European . Do you know something about European occupation in Nicaragua ? Keep up the good work 👍👍>>
