Im actually a descendant of Sturges. Btw Checkout Sturges Cottage in Fairfield. Still in the family. One of the most advanced houses at the time of it's build. Including plumbing and a toilet. (The White House didn't have one) No one in politics ever stayed at the Governors. They always stayed at "The Cottage"

“Go as far as you can see; when you get there you’ll be able to see farther”
J.P Morgan
Having lost his wife at 24 and almost losing his life on the Titanic, I think his quote about "no money amount to the loss of life" came from his heart.
Plot twist... out of the 7 major investors that was on the titanic only JP morgan survived it to collect the insurance money... strange isnt it
@@jonnhyappleseed7498 😂
Most children born before vaccination were sickly. Even wealth was no barrier against an early death.
He wasn't on the Titanic because he was warned and it would heavily benefit him for those who did ride on the ship to go down with it.
Until you pay someone so you don't go to war 😂
My sincerest congratulations to Simon, a British man, for saying "Fanny" without giggling.
Wait, Simon is British?
Man you can tell
that guy. Yes he is
I wonder how many takes it took to get it right

Great quote!
He really looks like the Monopoly game mascot. Perhaps he was the inspiration.
That was Rockefeller. But it wouldn't shock me if Morgan was a parallel inspiration.
Beaten up at Shawshank
@@nickkester4486 Actually, it was J.P. Morgan as the little monopoly guy, Rich Uncle Moneybags.
I thought you meant Simon
ya think?
How many times are we going to hear a person's story that includes "he was a sickly child"? Must be something about being sickly that drives people to be historically interesting.
I think it’s due to the fact you’d probably struggle to find any child of the early 19th century who we today wouldn’t consider sickly. So when we look back at historical records and see ‘at 7 he had polio’ or whatever we think that’s crazy when in reality so did another 9 boys in his class who went on to no fame
Another thing is that, depending on the sickness, it could be a life threatening experience especially for a kid. After tasting what death feels like, it wouldn't surprise me that he would never waste his life and that he would drive himself to be the best at what he did.
@@app103 you guys really nailed the analysis with breaking this down.
My mother was sick when she gave birth to me, which required me to be put on antibiotics during the first two weeks after I was born, so my immune system didn’t have the opportunity to develop like most people.
I was frequently ill throughout my childhood, and my mother had chosen to homeschool me from the beginning of my education.
Long story short, I was managing an institutional trading desk (primarily concentrating on derivative products) by the time I was 20. When everyone wants to bet against you as you’re growing up (ex. Always being picked last, etc), you decide to either accept mediocrity or prove everyone dead wrong. People always regret betting against the person they assumed would be a nobody, once they realize that they could have been one of the people remembered for supporting that person along the way.
I’m 27 now, yet haven’t come close to doing anything I myself consider to be impressive yet. Impossible is just a word for people that lack imagination.
@@app103 lol, it's funny that you think kids during those times had time to play. Until about 100 years ago (or a little less), children as young as 9 were already working in factories - fields before that.
You're right that sickly kids couldn't work and thus ended up learning more, but their counterparts definitely didn't enjoy the things kids these days do.
@@app103 that's because most don't survive
Okay I haven't finished the video but damn. His wife died 4 months after they got married, and it was basically all him taking care of her. That is true love
Absolutely horrendous. Imagine losing your wife after 120 days. Very sad. Probably made him even more heartless.
@@philiposborne982 I mean if I lost my wife I'd lose all sense of morality and empathy
@Mykko Zharley Ferrera E X A C T L Y L I K E S T A L I N D I D
Well that’s because only women, children, and puppies are loved unconditionally.
"And to think, he wasn't even a rich man."
~John D. Rockefeller, on Morgan's death
Morgan seemed to be after power and influence more than just amassing personal wealth. Few men can say that they saved the entire US economy on a number of occasions. Larry Fink of BlackRock does not have nearly as much personal wealth as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, or Bill Gates. But Fink controls 7% of the world economy, $10 trillion.
Larry Fink, the CEO of Blackrock, is so similar to JP Morgan.
That quote is from Andrew Carnegie. Not from rockefeller.

Can you do a geographics vid on the Azores Islands? I've been wanting to learn more about them, and no one does it better than the great Simon.
His credibility on the subject is a little bit suspect, since he referred to them as "Azore Island" in this video
Would love that, too. Was supposed to visit there on our one and only cruise, but the weather precluded docking. Was told by another passenger she had been on by there on various cruises 4-5 times (can't recall now), and she'd yet to set foot there!
It's fitting that Alexander Hamilton comes up in a video about banking.
TheFashionbugs Because he was the first Treasury Secretary of the US and designed a large part of the original financial system.
(edit: spelling)
Just a note, the rifles shown when leading into the Hall Carbine Affair segment are most certainly NOT Hall Carbines. The look to be some version of a Lee Enfield, a much later design and very successful.

Quite surprised to see an old pic of the US Steel Fairfield steel works plant on Biographics. I grew up around Birmingham Al and have passed it many many times. Very cool to see something from my neck of the woods. 👍👍
A history of his involvement with Thomas Edison alone could take up hours. They spearheaded the creation of the electric grid in New York.
He shafted Westinghouse and Edison.
@@clydeblair9622 Westinghouse and Edison were bitter rivals at the time, what with the War of the Currents still bzzzt'ing at the time. If anything, Morgan stepped in and told them to knock it off.
With Edison, he basically shafted _himself_ in the end. Edison's stockholders got tired of the War of the Currents (in no small part because the AC competition was making bigger profits, business blame that really _could_ be placed on Edison's shoulders), so they collectively forced him out and merged the company with... uh... that other really big one at the time that escapes me right now xD, forming General Electric.
@@josephschultz3301 Correction: Morgan screwed Edison and crushed Tesla and Westinghouse.
You should do a video on the federal reserve! :D
Audit the Fed! Yea he should do a video
The next one of these would be hosted by someone new, if he really got into the weeds of the scam that is the Federal Reserve. RIP Simon - 2020
@@AgentM3tallion Exactly. The US Federal Reserve: Most corrupt organization ever on earth.
@@dougbourdo2589 The funny thing is that the fed is on your side, the fed is on the side of Americans like any central bank. They are on a constant battle with the Government on making sure the Government doesn't abuse their power and do terrible things like trigger financial chaos like so many other countries. Yes they have allot of money and power and yes they keep things secret but it is for our own good. They stand almost alone in a very hard battle every single minute to make sure our economy keeps going . The US is the destination of investment money from all over the world and that is allot of risk involved with that responsibility so you need a strong and independent organization like the Fed to fulfill that honor. If there would be one mistake the money will flee the US and probably send the country in to decades of financial trouble. The FED is really critical piece and auditing it could cause massive chaos which cant be allowed to happen if we want to keep living the way we do. Conspiracy believers just don't understand the implications of auditing an organization holding our economy country together and the more you learn that then are on your side the less sense that makes.
Why he would just present them they want big govt lovers to present them as.
If you're interested in JP Morgan's involvement in railroads, I've just read a fascinating book called Harriman vs Hill by Larry Haeg in which Morgan figures prominently. The book goes into unimaginable detail, both about the stock market at the time, the railroads and the life and times of the so-called robber barons.
Thank you i will look into it

Good idea.
Simon, you are the best presenter of facts that I have ever known. I am certain you work very hard but you make it seem easy. There has never been one of your Productions that I wasn't immediately enthralled with. So thank you very much Simon for such great content and even better presentation.

Because the government is bad with money

My parents sent me to azorre islands every time I was sick as a child.
All the coughing! These days whenever I cough (as I shovel dry/raw food into my gullet) I have a panic attack, even though I have several underlying conditions which are what will likely kill me. Also my really cool & highly educated ex-husband, a nurse manager, once told me the 1 thing he fears at work is TB, nothing else. Though that was before Covid
The only demographic under a 99% recovery rate are elderly with pre-existing conditions - precisely the people most succeptible to flus already.
Treated or not, many flus have been far worse than covid-19 - much of the 'BIG FEAR' about it is internet-driven. The damage ~everyone~ bears from it is politically-exacerbated economic turmoil. Panic/unpreparedness exacerbates anything, as evidenced by the stats/riots/murders in areas under Democrat 'leadership'.

@@a.ftp4207 that is true. Some of those games look so stupid. In a way I can see why they do it because RUclips demonitises alot of stuff that isnt even offensive.
The rifle you illustarated was a British #1 MK3 Lee Enfield .303 cal.,not a Hall carbine.
Minor point, carbines are typically used by cavalry not infantry. They are shorter than normal rifles and so easier to use from horseback.
I would love to see a video about the art that J P owned !!!!

It would be interesting if you explore the connections between Tesla, Morgan and Edison, there was a lot of drama that spearheaded the founding of GE and the what happened to the Tesla tower?

Fun fact: In Caleb Carr's novel "THE ALIENIST, one of New York's criminal bosses called Morgan "The Nose" for his rosacea.
I don't understand your comment. What did his baldness have to do with his nose? (Or am I totally missing something?)
Alopecia means you're bald
113 DmG He had some illness that disformed his nose. Most photos of him had to be retouched to hide that. His nose was swollen and red.
This word alopecia, I do not think it means what you think it means.
Rosacea, not alopecia.
And this is where I request a Titanic, and her sister ships, episode on your Mega Projects channel.
I know of one of JP Morgans failures. The New York New Haven & Hartford Railroad. Its growth in the Northeast part of America (at his guidance) would cause a bunch of issues for that railroad later in its life. And at the end. The New York New Have & Hartford Railroad would be merged into the Penn Central until its collapse.

The biggest financial disasters came after the creation of the Federal Reserve though...
Yep. They were partly responsible in worsening it.
Nope it's only usually came when conservative govts deregulated wall Street & the market, letting the speculation run rampant.
I think people don't realise how frequent financial disasters were happening before federal Reserve.
We had a brutal depression when Andrew Jackson "killed the bank", didn't renew then national banking system. Then almost every 5 year US had economic crash of some kind.
A central banking system over looking rest of the small & medium size banks is a must necessary system in every country. But that central banking system shouldn't be completely outside the jurisdiction of the national government.
@@epa2349 Yet the biggest crashes happened after the creation of the central bank so that doesn't help the argument that they're necessary. Theyre a big reason as to why the crashes are so big. Crashes are part of the system and no amount of central planning can change that. How do you expect a small group of people to possible know how to manage a system of millions of people? They can't. Theres a reason why they didn't want a central bank. They weren't stupid people who were ignorant about financials.
The economy grew exponentially in the 20th century and so economic disasters grew exponentially in their severity as well. As bad as the various economic meltdowns have been since the start of the 20th century, they would have been much worse without the Federal Reserve.
@@VR36030 A lot if not all of them were caused by the Federal Reserve so know we don't need a Federal Reserve. I dont know what makes you think a handful of people have the knowledge or expertise to manage a constantly changing economy of about 340 million which is further connected to an economy of more than 7 billion. Economies crash. It's part of the system and no government agency can change that which is why they always fail in doing so. It's interesting how the Great Depression happened less than 20 years after the creation of the Federal Reserve.

“...industrialized economies began to reward men not for wholesomeness or morality” Simon you know I love ya but please tell me that’s sarcasm or I just misinterpreted that as referring to nobility getting their riches from being morally good rulers

Richer than the government, twice
Banks are always richer then the government in every country as they fund the entire economy. You want to open a new restaurant? You take a loan. You want to open a new technology company? You get loans and investments. The only place a government has more money than the banks is in North Korea or Zimbabwe
