What was the Wild West like in reality and in Red Dead Redemption 2?
Constant shootouts with law enforcement? Cool and spectacular duels? Mass robberies?
But what if everything was different? And absolutely every movie, game (including RDR2), and TV series tells us lies. They mislead us for profit. They show us a romanticized version of the Wild West that never happened.
In today's video, I want to explore what really happened in the American Old West of the 19th century.
The first part of the video will be based on myths from Red Dead Redemption 2. I'll take several of the most popular misconceptions and explain the truth behind them, which will completely change your understanding of the Wild West.
After we talk about the myths of RDR2, I'll share a few more interesting facts I found in old newspapers and on foreign websites.
Today you'll learn:
Where did the Gold Rush really begin?
What were shootouts like in the real world?
Why didn't anyone want to rob banks?
And how do the stories of bandits in games and movies differ from those of real people?
Enjoy watching.
