    Grace Bedell wrote to Lincoln when she was 11. The whole letter is very adorable, but she 100% told Lincoln to grow a beard to improve his appearance.
    "I have yet got four brothers and part of them will vote for you any way and if you let your whiskers grow I will try and get the rest of them to vote for you you would look a great deal better for your face is so thin. All the ladies like whiskers and they would tease their husbands to vote for you and then you would be President."

    Fun fact, Grant wasn’t as much of an alcoholic as history makes him out to be. He struggled with it in his early years in the army when he was stationed on the northwest coast, but after that he was rarely drunk. His biggest addiction was actually cigars, which he smoked 3-5 a day, and that is what eventually killed him.

      @evictionnotice1313 3 года назад +359

      Basically. He was depressed and away from his family for a while which lead to him getting HELLA drunk for a WHILE, but through the rest of his life he rarely drank (though the extremely rare times he did drink, he went super overboard and would have 1-3 day binges until he got himself under control), but most of the times we hear of him drunk are lies from officers who didn’t like him, like his CO in St. Louis who was terrible at his job and Grant called him on it creating an enemy for life. But the Grant we always hear about constantly drinking is mostly just attacks on his character from military (on his side) and political rivals.

    Thanks for covering Lincoln's lesser known negative traits. He was quite 'melancholic', a term used back then to describe what we would call depression now.
    When Lincoln and Mary Todd's engagement was "apparently" called off, several close associates of Lincoln feared his suicide.
    The loss of his children left mental scars along with the huge emotional burden of not only limiting the amount of American deaths but having the fate of every slave in America in his hands. It's remarkable that Lincoln was able to make it through all of that. I remember reading a book where a character gave a fake quote "I do not know if great times make great men but they can most certainly break them."

      He was also a big jokester and also just kinda silly, and that probably helped a great deal in the last incredibly streessful years of his life. One of my favorite stories is about an officer running into Lincoln in the War Department and then begged him a thousand pardons. Abe told him one was enough and wished that his generals would change like that.
      But one of my favorite tender stories about him during the war was when he was visiting an army camp where he came across three kittens who he asked where their mother was and learned she had died. He then told the kittens he was happy that they weren't able to comprehend how terrible the Civil War was. It's then said he ordered that they were fed and taken care of and then he sat and pet them and listened to them purring 😭

      States' rights to own slaves, their greatest source of wealth that they were heavily dependent on.
      We know better now, but imagine if today half the country started a civil war for robotic rights, meaning a massive cutdown or elimination of robotic workers/machines in all factories. Seems outlandish today and we can hardly imagine life without em, but who can say how people 100 years from now will see it.

      @@oliverbaksvensson1919 It is hard to make entirely direct correlations that would mirror today's society properly, but it isn't far off.
      Remember that humans have existed for (tens of)thousands of years, and just recently in the past several hundred have we started to extend basic rights to animals[some animals had umbrella rights but almost always by means of ownership as property, not inherent value as a sentient creature]. Compare that to our concept of AI, which has only been around for less than a century. It is possible that we may extend certain rights to things outside of our current preconceptions of sentience in the next few centuries, especially when they give such value to society.

He encourages homophobic attacks, tacitly supports alt-right groups and explicitly supports two separate dictatorships with appealing human rights records. Slavery was an abomination and Trump is leagues worse because he has become so normalised that we are no longer outraged at his policies-at least during the slave trade people knew what was happening was horrific and evil.

One time, after finishing one of his videos, I say to myself "He should really do a video on the American Civil War." Then I turned off my phone, and ate my dinner. After dinner, I turn my phone back on, and there it is.

      It was always about slaves. What a lot of people miss is what each side thought the outcome should be. Initially, a lot of the North were Free Soilers- they didn’t want slavery to expand west of Texas, and wanted to keep that land for themselves with no slavery allowed. The South wanted slavery to expand westward, and even into Mexico at one point. That was the situation in 1861.
      By 1865, the rhetoric had changed a lot. The South was no longer fighting for the expansion of slavery, but the bare preservation of it, and the north wasn’t fighting to contain slavery, but to eradicate it.
