One of my personal favorites was about Truman. The guy would cuss like you wouldn’t believe. There is one story where his wife had a friend over, Truman walks by and stepped on something causing him to say “Goddammit!” Her friend was appalled at this, but his wife just said “do you know how long it took him to say Goddammit?”
In the book Truman by David McCullough the anecdote was about his use of calling something "horse manure". At a gathering several wives complained to Bess Truman about her husband's use of the phrase and she responded as you noted: "Do you know how long it to me to get him to say manure?"
Andrew Jackson’s parrot was kicked out of his funeral for cursing during the service. Lyndon Johnson owned a car/boat hybrid and would pretend like his brakes failed as he sped towards a lake to scare people.

My favorite thing about Carter as a president was that because he was a naval nuclear engineer, when the Three Mile Island meltdown happened he was able to go there and know what the NRC and TMI folks were talking about, I also feel that what Carter accomplished after leaving office was much more important that what he accomplished in office.
Coolidge's story is actually really sad, and, like with Pierce, it explains a lot about the man. He lost his mother and sister young; his father was something of a tyrant whom he disliked early in life. When he was vice president, he received word that President Harding had passed, and his father administered his oath of office. He lost his 16 year old son, Calvin jr, to sepsis during his first summer as president, just after winning the nomination for 1924. He won, and he fulfilled his duty, but he had no desire to be President after he lost his son. He wrote "the power and glory of the presidency went with him [his son]." Basically, he, like Pierce, spent his elected term in a deep depression and didn't do a lot; he left the nation to his secretaries and withdrew from society.

I suppose it depends on the type of video being reacted to. You're more likely going to come across a more sophisticated reaction if the original video is well-made and thought provoking rather than some run-of-the-mill top 10 list.

Since Jimmy Carter was a submariner the US Navy named a submarine in his honor instead of a carrier. The USS Jimmy Carter, SSN-23, is a Seawolf-class attack submarine modified for covert operations.

Found your channel by it randomly showing up in my field, by your ERB reactions, and have continued to go down the rabbit hole ever since. Love your channel, and the fact that you actually add things to every one of your reactions, it is not just you staring at a camera, but I learn a fair amount from your videos, and never actually listened to sabaton before I found your channel, and I am actually loving them now. Keep up the good work man, cant wait for more.
All but one President was related to some old English king (I forgot his name) Martin Van Buren was Dutch, so he wasn’t related. Most Americans are related to the king, meaning they would also be related to all but one President. So it does make sense.
I get the joke, but this was likely Greco-Roman wrestling, not WWE - so he'd headbutt you or choke you out, but not RKO - and yes, apparently headbutting was allowed, but tripping and "holds below the waist" were forbidden.
Saw your reaction to the American Civil War Oversimplified videos a couple of days ago and after seeing many of your videos by this point, i’m really glad i found this great channel! Greetings from Finland.
Just stopping by to say that I appreciate the commentary and added storytelling. I'm a history nut like many others so 9 in 10 times I have already watched the video you are reacting to. I'm here for your unique perspective on each video, not the Oooohs and Aaaaaahs that are the typical reaction video standard. Thank you for what you do. I will be tuning in to see what else you have to say going forward.
Greetings from a fellow Ohioan. Found your videos regarding the Civil War (the war that initially got me interested in History) and having been binging all the others since then. The videos you do a reaction on are attention grabbing and very good at explaining the events and then your add ins are really just the icing on the cake. Keep up the good work. And because I feel it is obligatory for any Ohioan -- OH!
one nice thing i noticed in this video is that you always seek for more information. when u reacted to the civil war oversimplified u didnt know that burnside was there and now you know more about it and all of those little details. its nice to see.
As a huge history buff living in central Virginia. Arguably the heart of civil and revolutionary wars, I love your content and your passion for history. It was my dream to attend UVA school of History however I was from a poor family and even though accepted could attend. Thanks for spreading the love.
Re: The Calvin Coolidge story about the woman betting she could get three words from him. This was a joke in one of the Oz books. At some point in one of the later books, Dorothy is told that all animals in Oz can talk, even immigrants. She asks Toto if he can talk, and bets she can make him say three words. He says only 'You lose'. L Frank Baum died in 1920, so this joke predates the Coolidge joke by a few years. And I'm wondering if that's where it came from.
Being from Augusta, there is a great story about Eisenhower and the master's. There was a particular tree that always messed up his shot and he ordered the Augusta National to remove it.....they instead named it after him😊
Some interesting tidbits on Calvin Coolidge. For many years he was actively involved in Massachusetts politics starting as a city counselor in Northampton Ma and ending with his tenure as the Governor. Northampton is the home to his presidential library which is a couple of rooms on the 2nd floor of the Forbes Library. Very unassuming in comparison to the more resent libraries which is much like Coolidge himself. After Coolidge died, the state of Massachusetts decided to dedicate a bridge that spans the CT river between Northampton and Hadley in his memory. None of the Coolidge family felt that the dedication ceremony was worth their time to attend as they all had excuses for not showing up. While there are numerous buildings and public works named in his honor during his lifetime, the bridge has ended up being the only public memorial to him in existence.
Fun fact: Dwight Eisenhower once got into a fight with a tree on a golf course. On the 17th hole of the Augusta National Golf Club stood a loblolly pine which interfered with a number of golf games, including those of the avid golf player Eisenhower. He was so irritated by this tree that he petitioned for its removal. This was denied, and the tree stood until 2014 when an ice storm killed it and created a safety hazard for all around.
Great video, great insight, its always fascinating learning about American history. Its funny because here in Australia, American politics are covered almost as much as Australian. Curious how much do you know about Australian history?
I have two: Calvin Coolidge is a direct descendant of Edward Doty, one of the signatories of the Mayflower Compact, who happens to also be a direct ancestor of mine. Coolidge would be my 11th cousin 10 times removed (so basically not actually related). FDR was related to Alexander Hamilton through the Schuyler family. I'm very distantly related to the Schuyler family through the VanSchaick family.
Abe Lincoln had two cats named tabby and dixie. He once exclaimed "Dixie is smarter than my whole cabinet...!" He was also known for taking in the occasional stray cat or two into the White House.

@@zivunknown And that is the true beauty of simplified channel on RUclips in combination with the internet. If it sounds interesting, you can look it up to get a deeper view
Interesting that you bring up Thomas Blossom as I am related to Stephen Hopkins, who was also on the Mayflower, and George W. Bush is related to Stephen Hopkins through my same line, making GWB and Stephen Hopkins distant cousins of mine. I can’t remember exact relations off the top of my head and it’s been some time since I’ve gone through my genealogical stuff, but it’s an interesting tidbit nonetheless. Love the vids you make and I binge them often!
I once helped clean and dust the Millard Fillmore house in my hometown of East Aurora. It's furnished with replicas. I had a blast cleaning the toys in his daughter's room, especially the doll sized china set on a child size table and cabinet!
I remember hearing an anecdote about JFK's speedreading--When asking staff to take a look at an something to read, he'd get impatient after a few moments and say, "I asked you to read it, not memorize it!"
Some of my ancestors came over on the Mayflower as well, and though we're not sure exactly how; we're related to John and John Quincy Adams. One of my old co-workers is related to Samuel Adams (related to the Johns' mentioned previously) and her ancestors also came over on the Mayflower. It's interesting knowing that I may also be related to even more presidents as well as how many others are too.
As someone whos been a new Salem interpreter, learning about Lincoln and the people he was good friends with is such an interesting thing, actually the Kelso family was a family Lincoln used to board with, and Mr. Kelso (I cant remember his first name) got him into poetry and they were good friends, and doctor Francis Regnier was in the Whig party that voted for vowed to vote for Lincoln
17:56 What Taft really wanted was to be Chief Justice. He only really became president because TR insisted so strongly he run. Also, Taft is the only president to serve in all three branches of government. 19:34 I also love the story of how he announced he wouldn’t run in 1928. He organized a press briefing. When he walked out to the briefing, he gave a note to a reporter in the front row and left. When the reporter read the note aloud, it said “I will not seek reelection in 1928.” 24:32 As a proud brony, this makes me REALLY happy. When he answered the trivia questions made sense. MLP:FiM began on October 10, 2010, and the brony fandom basically started in 2011. In 2012, the fandom got onto the news because so many people were amazed that a show aimed at 3 to 7-year-old girls gained the attention of full grown men. It was such a big deal that there’s even a documentary about the fandom.
Also a fun fact I remember hearing, Ronald Reagan had actually came to the city I live in (Fort Wayne, Indiana specifically)on two separate occasions, about 30 or so years apart. The first time was as a General Electric representative in the old GE plant in Downtown Fort Wayne and in the Fort Wayne Coliseum after the 1982 Flood.
Nice job with this. Unlike other "reaction" videos you actually add substance to the original content. I'll need to check out some of your original content as well. Since you're also a Buckeye it is bound to be good :)
Carter wasn't on a nuclear submarine. He was on a diesel-powered submarine, the SSK-1/Barracuda III. He was training to become an engineering officer on the USS Seawolf, one of the first nuclear subs, but resigned from the Navy when his father died.
I know nothing of US presidents, at all(other than GW was the first) and when James Polk came up with the Oregon-game symbol, all I could think of is this comedic musical called "Trail to Oregon" inspired by that game, and specifically a line that the mother sings in it: "My first pioneer would be President Polk, I think he'd be a good leader of the wagon". So thank you for making that song stuck in my head again
My son wrote a report on Abraham Lincoln last year and included a few lines on his wrestling abilities. He also included the line, "Lincoln is said to have invented the choke-hold" as a "fun fact".

I was playing tennis at the time in college station at A&M, and saw a single parachute descending from the sky. Everyone stopped playing and lotsa comments that its H.W. Bush. Pretty cool i witnessed that.
I'm a docent at the James K. Polk Home in Columbia, TN. If you haven't been, I strongly encourage it! There is alot to learn about this President. He interestingly holds the record for least days taken off as President. We see have seen many Presidents over the years that go on vacation way too much, but Polk only took 27 days off in his 4 year term.
If you ever heard of Eleanor Wood and her speed reading classes, JFK was familiar with it. He took the course and had several of his staff do the same.
Aspirin inhibits blood clotting so giving it to Garfield would have made him bleed more (although I know it was standard practice then). All I am saying is that they should have done LITERALLY nothing 😬
OK actually came from the phrase 'Oll Korrect', which was a purposely humorous mispelling of 'all correct' from the early 1800s, quite similar to internet speak today.
1) calvin coolidge only president born on 4th of july. 2) martin van buren spoke english as a second language (dutch his native language) 3) ulysses s grant's actual name was Hyram Ulysses Grant but when he enrolled at west point a clerical error listed his middle name as his first and he was too shy to correct it. He was also a gifted horse whisperer.
"He was a Southern Democrat, but he was also pro-slavery..." Isn't that like saying Roger Federer plays tennis professionally, but he's also an athlete?
The Democrats infiltrating the school system was the worst thing that could have happened to this country. They taught “Lost Cause” myth in the 60’s-90’s, and now they teach the “party switch” myth
@@billtalker3843 How are you suggesting the party switch is a myth? It happened around the time of FDR's election, Dixiecrats in the South switched to being Republicans. Progressive/Liberal Republicans who were pro-civil rights migrated to FDR's New Deal Democratic Party. There was clearly a switching of principles when it came to the respective party's ideas on race. Democrats used to be the KKK, pro-slavery southern vote who turned into the party of civil rights. Republicans USED to be the abolitionist, progressive party and turned into the Confederate apologist, anti-Civil Rights, conservative party it is today.
@@carsonkeller9944 See. You repeat nonsense vomited from your Democrat teachers. Stop believing the brainwashing. Look at reality and look at history. Democrats are still pro-segregstion and pro-racism. Democrats have always been the party of the immoral since the 1850’s. Go look at old voting maps and tell me the Dixiecrats joined the Republicans. You can’t. Would you switch parties today if your party made you mad? No. That doesn’t happen. What happens is, after integration of the South, and years of co-mingling of races, people started to see the purity of the Republican Party. Hearts were changed. It was the Democrats (and still to this day) that scare black folks into voting for them. “If you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black!” That is the underlying tone of most Democrat politics towards the black folks, just like in the early 1900’s when the Democrats were saying “vote our way or we’ll kill you.” Vote our way or you’re dead to us. Political agendas change over time, but one thing stays the same: the Democrats are the party of racism, segregation, and slavery. That will never change. Look at who is in office right now. A rich old white man who has ties to the KKK. You can’t make this stuff up. Similar to how evangelical Christian denominations have always leaned against slavery and segregation (to various degrees) while the high churches always leaned towards slavery and segregation (to various degrees). The high churches have always been on the immoral side of American history, and still are, as most support progressive debauchery today. There’s countless “common sense” examples. Open your blinds, look outside, and see the truth.
@@billtalker3843 How can the democrats be the party of racism when they were the one who elected a black president. I didn't see Trump doing anything during the BLM era last year apart from condemn the protests and support the police officers. Also, both of your quotes, are not accurate. If you're going to quote something, quote it right please or else the rest of your argument is void. And I'm not sure how you can criticise Biden for having ties to the KKK, when there is no proof, but in Trumps 4 year term, he never identified the KKK as a terrorist organisation, and there is evidence he is connected to both the KKK and the proud boys. The party switch has been proven to be true and for you to keep denting such facts is pathetic and stupid. Churches and religious charities are known to exclude racial minorities, why do you think they had to start their own churches? Also, if the democrats enforced slavery and Jim Crow, why was it also a democrat who liberated black people from Jim Crow? Your logic is laughable.
One day I remember using the app Find A Grave cause I was bored and starting with my maternal great grandfather I was able to trace things back to James Garfield. Also learned I had an ancestor who died falling off a bridge with his horse in 1643 in Norway.
Should add that obviously I’m not related to Garfield in a straight line but I found some connection with a bunch of clicking on random names and siblings of direct ancestors as I went further back. Was super random when I stumbled across it but pretty cool lol thankfully it wasn’t a dick like Jackson or Andrew Johnson

isn’t he from delaware?
@@shubs. Yes, but he was born in Pennsylvania and lived in Delaware
@@yveslorenzovalenzuela8233 Just adding fun trivia, he was born in Scranton! Probably knows the greatest paper company in the history of America
“Come on man!”
As soon as he said that Im like but what about our favorite Scranton boi
I would have really enjoyed having you as my history teacher, your insight is very fun to listen to
Found your channel by it randomly showing up in my field, by your ERB reactions, and have continued to go down the rabbit hole ever since. Love your channel, and the fact that you actually add things to every one of your reactions, it is not just you staring at a camera, but I learn a fair amount from your videos, and never actually listened to sabaton before I found your channel, and I am actually loving them now. Keep up the good work man, cant wait for more.
That's awesome. Glad to have you on board!
Bruh how is this guy related to every president lmao
Most people are, they just don't know it.
Everybody's related to somebody if you go back far enough.
All but one President was related to some old English king (I forgot his name) Martin Van Buren was Dutch, so he wasn’t related. Most Americans are related to the king, meaning they would also be related to all but one President. So it does make sense.
@Mr. Graves how do you even find that out
@@Bitchpleasegivemeafry I think it was King John, notable for the Magna Carta
I was a camp counselor for one of John Tyler's descendants. The resemblance carries on, its crazy
10:38 “not being attracted to men I can’t..”

To be honest, Pierce has some sweet hair
Imagine getting rko'd by Lincoln
I get the joke, but this was likely Greco-Roman wrestling, not WWE - so he'd headbutt you or choke you out, but not RKO - and yes, apparently headbutting was allowed, but tripping and "holds below the waist" were forbidden.

Saw your reaction to the American Civil War Oversimplified videos a couple of days ago and after seeing many of your videos by this point, i’m really glad i found this great channel!
Greetings from Finland.
Just stopping by to say that I appreciate the commentary and added storytelling. I'm a history nut like many others so 9 in 10 times I have already watched the video you are reacting to. I'm here for your unique perspective on each video, not the Oooohs and Aaaaaahs that are the typical reaction video standard. Thank you for what you do. I will be tuning in to see what else you have to say going forward.
Greetings from a fellow Ohioan. Found your videos regarding the Civil War (the war that initially got me interested in History) and having been binging all the others since then. The videos you do a reaction on are attention grabbing and very good at explaining the events and then your add ins are really just the icing on the cake. Keep up the good work. And because I feel it is obligatory for any Ohioan -- OH!
Theodore roosevelt was one tough man. And the only true cowboy by definition
one nice thing i noticed in this video is that you always seek for more information. when u reacted to the civil war oversimplified u didnt know that burnside was there and now you know more about it and all of those little details. its nice to see.
Just like everyone else here I am always eager to learn something I didn't know before
As a huge history buff living in central Virginia. Arguably the heart of civil and revolutionary wars, I love your content and your passion for history. It was my dream to attend UVA school of History however I was from a poor family and even though accepted could attend. Thanks for spreading the love.
Re: The Calvin Coolidge story about the woman betting she could get three words from him. This was a joke in one of the Oz books. At some point in one of the later books, Dorothy is told that all animals in Oz can talk, even immigrants. She asks Toto if he can talk, and bets she can make him say three words. He says only 'You lose'. L Frank Baum died in 1920, so this joke predates the Coolidge joke by a few years. And I'm wondering if that's where it came from.
Theodore Rooselvelt also responded, with the baller reply, "a bullet can't stop the bull moose".
Being from Augusta, there is a great story about Eisenhower and the master's. There was a particular tree that always messed up his shot and he ordered the Augusta National to remove it.....they instead named it after him😊
“ James Buchanan may have been gay “ also he’s the only president from Pennsylvania not me thinking he was relating the two 😂
those damn Pennsylvanians and their homosexual tendencies
@@hibuddy2768 are they so gay?
I'm very happy your channel is growing at a rapid pace
As a Swede with a limited view of american history this was both entertaining and educating, keep it up!
Some interesting tidbits on Calvin Coolidge. For many years he was actively involved in Massachusetts politics starting as a city counselor in Northampton Ma and ending with his tenure as the Governor. Northampton is the home to his presidential library which is a couple of rooms on the 2nd floor of the Forbes Library. Very unassuming in comparison to the more resent libraries which is much like Coolidge himself. After Coolidge died, the state of Massachusetts decided to dedicate a bridge that spans the CT river between Northampton and Hadley in his memory. None of the Coolidge family felt that the dedication ceremony was worth their time to attend as they all had excuses for not showing up. While there are numerous buildings and public works named in his honor during his lifetime, the bridge has ended up being the only public memorial to him in existence.
Now this is a reaction video! Loved all the added facts. Keep up the great work
That was very fun! I love hearing weird history facts and you are incredibly fun and interesting to watch, keep em coming!
you're like the only reason I want to learn more about history.
Hearing about your family history across all of your videos is so interesting
Fun fact: Dwight Eisenhower once got into a fight with a tree on a golf course. On the 17th hole of the Augusta National Golf Club stood a loblolly pine which interfered with a number of golf games, including those of the avid golf player Eisenhower. He was so irritated by this tree that he petitioned for its removal. This was denied, and the tree stood until 2014 when an ice storm killed it and created a safety hazard for all around.
Fun fact: A nearly 60 year old Theodore Roosevelt asked the President at the time, and the US navy to fight in WW1
Woodrow Wilson was president at the time.
@@Mrs.Magix58 thanks
And they refused definitely because he was too powerful
@@Mrs.Magix58
he was also the worst president in American history imo
Theodore Roosevelt shared the same feeling as me towards him
Great video, great insight, its always fascinating learning about American history. Its funny because here in Australia, American politics are covered almost as much as Australian. Curious how much do you know about Australian history?
Outside of how Australia was used as a penal colony, sadly I don't know that much.
I mean, it would be hilarious if he did a review of oversimplified’s video of the Emu War
That Grover Cleveland fact was hardly “weird”. It’s practically the only thing he is remembered for.
I discovered ur channel a few weeks ago and I love it. You’re doing a great job!
This was a terrific video, man. Seriously, I could watch stuff like this for hours.
This is exactly how reactions should be...adding something to a video to make it even better. Not just some stupid commentating everybody couldve done
16:35 Roosevelt was also the first president to fly on a plane (after leaving office)
Not only was Washington and Lincoln both in the Wrestling Hall of Fame, but William Taft and Theordore Roosevelt was too
I have two:
Calvin Coolidge is a direct descendant of Edward Doty, one of the signatories of the Mayflower Compact, who happens to also be a direct ancestor of mine. Coolidge would be my 11th cousin 10 times removed (so basically not actually related).
FDR was related to Alexander Hamilton through the Schuyler family. I'm very distantly related to the Schuyler family through the VanSchaick family.
Loved the Fredericksburg series btw!
Thank you Abdullah!
Abe Lincoln had two cats named tabby and dixie. He once exclaimed "Dixie is smarter than my whole cabinet...!" He was also known for taking in the occasional stray cat or two into the White House.
Did you guys know that Lincoln was a vampire slayer? He could chop down an entire tree with one cut, they even made a movie about it!
Hey I recently ran across your channel and I love it. I usually watch Mr Terry’s History channel... maybe one day you guys can do some collab reactions. That would be awesome
I just learned some more or less interesting facts about the presidents of a (to me) foreign country. I also learned what a Quaker is.
Yeah I had to look it up lol
@@zivunknown And that is the true beauty of simplified channel on RUclips in combination with the internet.
If it sounds interesting, you can look it up to get a deeper view
Love their oats!
Love all the different topics you cover! I’d love to hear your thoughts on some Cold War conflicts like Cuba and Vietnam.
Teddy Roosevelt after he was shoot supposedly started his speech with Ladies and Gentlemen I have just been shot
"But it takes more then that to kil a bull mouse"
Interesting that you bring up Thomas Blossom as I am related to Stephen Hopkins, who was also on the Mayflower, and George W. Bush is related to Stephen Hopkins through my same line, making GWB and Stephen Hopkins distant cousins of mine. I can’t remember exact relations off the top of my head and it’s been some time since I’ve gone through my genealogical stuff, but it’s an interesting tidbit nonetheless. Love the vids you make and I binge them often!
2:50 the hbo show “Adam’s” has a fucking great episode around the massacre and the trial.
Yes, McCullough, the author of the original book, really gave a more balanced portrait of that event.
I once helped clean and dust the Millard Fillmore house in my hometown of East Aurora. It's furnished with replicas. I had a blast cleaning the toys in his daughter's room, especially the doll sized china set on a child size table and cabinet!
I remember hearing an anecdote about JFK's speedreading--When asking staff to take a look at an something to read, he'd get impatient after a few moments and say, "I asked you to read it, not memorize it!"
😂
Some of my ancestors came over on the Mayflower as well, and though we're not sure exactly how; we're related to John and John Quincy Adams. One of my old co-workers is related to Samuel Adams (related to the Johns' mentioned previously) and her ancestors also came over on the Mayflower.
It's interesting knowing that I may also be related to even more presidents as well as how many others are too.
LOVE the reaction videos man 👌🏻
As someone whos been a new Salem interpreter, learning about Lincoln and the people he was good friends with is such an interesting thing, actually the Kelso family was a family Lincoln used to board with, and Mr. Kelso (I cant remember his first name) got him into poetry and they were good friends, and doctor Francis Regnier was in the Whig party that voted for vowed to vote for Lincoln
17:56 What Taft really wanted was to be Chief Justice. He only really became president because TR insisted so strongly he run. Also, Taft is the only president to serve in all three branches of government.
19:34 I also love the story of how he announced he wouldn’t run in 1928. He organized a press briefing. When he walked out to the briefing, he gave a note to a reporter in the front row and left. When the reporter read the note aloud, it said “I will not seek reelection in 1928.”
24:32 As a proud brony, this makes me REALLY happy. When he answered the trivia questions made sense. MLP:FiM began on October 10, 2010, and the brony fandom basically started in 2011. In 2012, the fandom got onto the news because so many people were amazed that a show aimed at 3 to 7-year-old girls gained the attention of full grown men. It was such a big deal that there’s even a documentary about the fandom.
imagine ever unironically saying "As a proud brony,"
@@Colinop I don’t have to imagine it.
I really like watching you! I also have a fascination with history, so this channel is just right for me!
Also a fun fact I remember hearing, Ronald Reagan had actually came to the city I live in (Fort Wayne, Indiana specifically)on two separate occasions, about 30 or so years apart. The first time was as a General Electric representative in the old GE plant in Downtown Fort Wayne and in the Fort Wayne Coliseum after the 1982 Flood.
Nice job with this. Unlike other "reaction" videos you actually add substance to the original content. I'll need to check out some of your original content as well. Since you're also a Buckeye it is bound to be good :)
Congratulations on 30k subs! I love your channel and I watch it every day! I am literally hooked to your content. You are awesome!
Thank you Dylan!
HELLO I just started watching you and I’m really enjoying it keep up the good work :)
Carter wasn't on a nuclear submarine. He was on a diesel-powered submarine, the SSK-1/Barracuda III. He was training to become an engineering officer on the USS Seawolf, one of the first nuclear subs, but resigned from the Navy when his father died.
I know nothing of US presidents, at all(other than GW was the first) and when James Polk came up with the Oregon-game symbol, all I could think of is this comedic musical called "Trail to Oregon" inspired by that game, and specifically a line that the mother sings in it: "My first pioneer would be President Polk, I think he'd be a good leader of the wagon".
So thank you for making that song stuck in my head again
My son wrote a report on Abraham Lincoln last year and included a few lines on his wrestling abilities. He also included the line, "Lincoln is said to have invented the choke-hold" as a "fun fact".
Crazy to think just 3 months ago you were hitting 30k subscribers and now today your pushing towards 135k. Keep up the good work and i always learn something from your videos
I was playing tennis at the time in college station at A&M, and saw a single parachute descending from the sky. Everyone stopped playing and lotsa comments that its H.W. Bush. Pretty cool i witnessed that.
I'm a docent at the James K. Polk Home in Columbia, TN. If you haven't been, I strongly encourage it! There is alot to learn about this President. He interestingly holds the record for least days taken off as President. We see have seen many Presidents over the years that go on vacation way too much, but Polk only took 27 days off in his 4 year term.
If you ever heard of Eleanor Wood and her speed reading classes, JFK was familiar with it. He took the course and had several of his staff do the same.
This was a seriously awesome video! Great content!!
I say we need beards back in office.

Aspirin inhibits blood clotting so giving it to Garfield would have made him bleed more (although I know it was standard practice then). All I am saying is that they should have done LITERALLY nothing 😬
Yeah maybe, but I thought it was kinda funny that it would be better to do nothing
30k very Good work you doing keep up the great work
OK actually came from the phrase 'Oll Korrect', which was a purposely humorous mispelling of 'all correct' from the early 1800s, quite similar to internet speak today.
1) calvin coolidge only president born on 4th of july. 2) martin van buren spoke english as a second language (dutch his native language) 3) ulysses s grant's actual name was Hyram Ulysses Grant but when he enrolled at west point a clerical error listed his middle name as his first and he was too shy to correct it. He was also a gifted horse whisperer.
Calvin Coolidge was sworn in as President by a notary public, who was also his father.
In the family home in the middle of the night . Great piece of trivia!
Hey I’m a Brit, I have a passing interest in the Presidency, have seen some of your other videos your videos have been very helpful so thank you 🙏🏻
"He was a Southern Democrat, but he was also pro-slavery..." Isn't that like saying Roger Federer plays tennis professionally, but he's also an athlete?
yeah
The Democrats infiltrating the school system was the worst thing that could have happened to this country. They taught “Lost Cause” myth in the 60’s-90’s, and now they teach the “party switch” myth
@@billtalker3843 How are you suggesting the party switch is a myth? It happened around the time of FDR's election, Dixiecrats in the South switched to being Republicans. Progressive/Liberal Republicans who were pro-civil rights migrated to FDR's New Deal Democratic Party. There was clearly a switching of principles when it came to the respective party's ideas on race. Democrats used to be the KKK, pro-slavery southern vote who turned into the party of civil rights. Republicans USED to be the abolitionist, progressive party and turned into the Confederate apologist, anti-Civil Rights, conservative party it is today.
@@carsonkeller9944 See. You repeat nonsense vomited from your Democrat teachers. Stop believing the brainwashing. Look at reality and look at history. Democrats are still pro-segregstion and pro-racism. Democrats have always been the party of the immoral since the 1850’s. Go look at old voting maps and tell me the Dixiecrats joined the Republicans. You can’t. Would you switch parties today if your party made you mad? No. That doesn’t happen. What happens is, after integration of the South, and years of co-mingling of races, people started to see the purity of the Republican Party. Hearts were changed. It was the Democrats (and still to this day) that scare black folks into voting for them. “If you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black!” That is the underlying tone of most Democrat politics towards the black folks, just like in the early 1900’s when the Democrats were saying “vote our way or we’ll kill you.” Vote our way or you’re dead to us. Political agendas change over time, but one thing stays the same: the Democrats are the party of racism, segregation, and slavery. That will never change. Look at who is in office right now. A rich old white man who has ties to the KKK. You can’t make this stuff up. Similar to how evangelical Christian denominations have always leaned against slavery and segregation (to various degrees) while the high churches always leaned towards slavery and segregation (to various degrees). The high churches have always been on the immoral side of American history, and still are, as most support progressive debauchery today. There’s countless “common sense” examples. Open your blinds, look outside, and see the truth.
@@billtalker3843 How can the democrats be the party of racism when they were the one who elected a black president. I didn't see Trump doing anything during the BLM era last year apart from condemn the protests and support the police officers. Also, both of your quotes, are not accurate. If you're going to quote something, quote it right please or else the rest of your argument is void. And I'm not sure how you can criticise Biden for having ties to the KKK, when there is no proof, but in Trumps 4 year term, he never identified the KKK as a terrorist organisation, and there is evidence he is connected to both the KKK and the proud boys. The party switch has been proven to be true and for you to keep denting such facts is pathetic and stupid. Churches and religious charities are known to exclude racial minorities, why do you think they had to start their own churches? Also, if the democrats enforced slavery and Jim Crow, why was it also a democrat who liberated black people from Jim Crow? Your logic is laughable.
One day I remember using the app Find A Grave cause I was bored and starting with my maternal great grandfather I was able to trace things back to James Garfield. Also learned I had an ancestor who died falling off a bridge with his horse in 1643 in Norway.
Should add that obviously I’m not related to Garfield in a straight line but I found some connection with a bunch of clicking on random names and siblings of direct ancestors as I went further back. Was super random when I stumbled across it but pretty cool lol thankfully it wasn’t a dick like Jackson or Andrew Johnson
