It will take a little time to load, but then it's worth watching.

"Henry, Henry, Henry...Oh, yeah. 'Henry Hudson was a great man'-whatever.  Nobody even really knows who he was.  This guy says he was a hero-great explorer.  This guy says he was a spy, couldn't be trusted.  This guy says he loved the Native Americans. This guy says it's because of him that they died."
