Congrats on 1 million Subs

There's an interesting story involving Edwin Booth and Lincoln's own son. Mere months prior to John's murderous act, in late 1864, after the president's son, Robert, had purchased his ticket on a train platform in Jersey City, he was accidently pressed by a large throng of people against the car body while waiting his turn. The train began to move and Robert was twisted off his feet and dropped into the open space between the platform and the train, personally helpless. When he believed he was about to be crushed by the moving train, his coat collar was seized and he was quickly pulled up and out to a secure footing on the platform. Upon turning to thank his rescuer, Robert saw it was Edwin Booth. Edwin Booth saved the life of Lincoln's own son. Ironic.

His father was litterally named Brutus...poor guy never had a choice.

I'm not sure about that, and I'm a huge Lincoln fan. After the war many Northerners calmed down and realised it was safe to be racist once more. The South basically waited until the North was tired of sending troops down to enforce the civil rights of ex-slaves. Then they brought in Jim Crow for the next century or so. I can't believe Lincoln would have served more than two terms. The strain of the war turned him into a man old before his time.

He’s super interesting but not many people know about him, and given the influence of the Red Cross today I think it’d be nice to make a video about him. He wrote a memoir called ‘A Memory of Solferino’ where he describes his experience coming across the aftermath of a battle and trying to help wounded soldiers from both sides and also soothe the dying until their last breath. It’s worth a read, his experiences then moved him to be a humanitarian and directly let to the establishment of the Red Cross that has saved millions to this day.

It’s amazing how I can hate Booth so much but feel sorry for him at the same time. He was already rich and famous, so his killing Lincoln has to have come solely out of a desire to do what he thought was right. He also tried to challenge the leader of the union troops to a duel in exchange for his freedom when they had him cornered in the barn, which makes me think he saw himself as the protagonist of a play, expecting to be hailed as a hero after slaying the perceived tyrant. Obviously he was horribly wrong. The fact that he didn’t expect everyone to think of him as a villain for killing the president makes me think he had a few screws loose...

When an adolescent, Booth told his companions once that if there was a bridge connecting Spain to Morocco, he would want to be the one who destroyed it because then his name would live forever. Fame or infamy, so long as his name lived forever. This is called "Herostratic fame" after the Greek who burnt the Temple of Diana (or Artemis) at Ephesus (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World). Before Herostratus was executed, he said he destroyed this huge building just to obtain everlasting fame. Also, a gypsy once read Booth's palm and said that he would have a very successful career but would have a disastrous end. We know this happened because he told his friends and his sister shortly after his palm was read. They remembered this incident.

Robert Todd Lincoln was, of course, Lincoln’s son. Seems like I had read that he was able to see his father before death. Then, he was in the Cabinet of James Garfield when he was assassinated. And, he was not far away when McKinley was shot & killed. He thought it unwise after that to attend any Presidential functions. Lastly, there was a story about how he had fallen off a platform on to some recessed train tracks with a train coming right at him. A guy reached out & saved his life. That guy was Edwin Booth.

Robert Lincoln and Edwin Booth were both on a crowded train platform. Lincoln lost his balance and fell into the space between the platform and the track. Edwin Booth reached down and pulled Lincoln up to safety before the moving train could crush him. Lincoln had a connection to the murder of 3 Presidents. He was in James Garfield's cabinet and was present when Garfield was murdered. He was also present when William McKinley was murdered.

I'd like to see a video about Genrikh Yagoda or Lazar Kaganovich. Some scholars estimate Yagoda could have killed as much as 20 million people. Lazar Kaganovich was the main architect of the Holodomor, were they purposefully starved 4 million Ukrainians to death. Then there's also Idel Jakobson, Salomon Morel, Józef Różański, Anatol Fejgin, Stefan Michnik, Aaron Soltz, Lazar Kogan, Matvei Berman, Naftaly Frenkel and Ana Pauker(aka Stalin in a Skirt). A lot of them were Chekist read up about the atrocities of the Cheka on wiki. And also Isia Davidovich Berg, who invented the gas van in the 1920's. I guarantee as evil as these people were known to be Simon won't cover them for one special reason, it would ruin his career. He would be branded an anti-semite, and he wouldn't want that. We don't know of these people for the same reason.

yoo should do a video on Andrew Johnson

I thought he did it because Lincoln kept saying “now you fucked up”

Actually!!! John Wilkes Booth was a southerner from Maryland. Maryland is a southern state. “The South” in American is anything south of the Mason Dixson Line. The South goes pretty far north, Maryland and Delaware were both put in check fairly early into the Civil War because of their proximity to DC, which is considered “in the south” because it was a deal to put the capital in “the south” so The Commonwealth of Virginia(where the confederate capital was) and Maryland gave up a small portion of their land for a federal capital city

Maryland, like many border slave states, basically had their own civil war within the civil war. So much partisan activity between sympathizers of both the North and South. The state actually had a very large pro-Confederate faction, but that took a hit when the CSA invaded Maryland in 1862. Also interesting to note that Maryland was one of three Union slave states that abolished slavery before the end of the war. They abolished slavery on October 12, 1864, incidentally the same day as the death of Supreme Court Chief justice Roger Taney (a Maryland native).

Do a video on David E. George and John St Helen.

Maryland is in the South though? It’s south of the Mason-Dixon Line and there were a few pro-Confederate riots. It was also a slave state.

Not only was Maryland a slave state, Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation prohibited slavery only in those “states in rebellion”, that is, the Confederacy, so Maryland was the LAST slave state.

They tried to keep the states in the union by making a law to keep slavery and the states still broke off bc it wasnt about slavery. Lincoln wanted the blacks removed from the US. He didnt want slavery to spread bc he didnt want slaves in states like Missouri.

@@docvaliant721 One of the proposals was to send the freed Slaves to Texas, and upon hearing that, Texas overthrew the Unionist Governor Sam Houston. While a small contingent of Houstonites fought for the North, over 90% of all eligible Males joined the Confederacy, the highest enlistment rate of any State in the South.

@@docvaliant721 yeah, this isnt true. the ACS had their ideas, sure, but Lincoln's "support" was little more than lip service and a meetings at the White House (the first time any president had met with black people in the white house iirc). It wasn't something that was particularly feasible or likely, and even if it had been implemented it would have been based on voluntary repatriation rather than deportation.

Lmao 😂 the Harry Hawk line..

You should do Leon Czolgosz. :)

I went to the venue where he had his last show before he killed Lincoln right there in front of the slavery fountain is in Mountgomrey AL it’s like real tense in That spot, it’s where some of the first slaves in America were sold, jwbs last performance and where Rosa parks got on that bus

Could you do a video about Jimmy Hoffa? Working man hero, or the Mafia’s greatest ally

Hey Biographics team, can you make an episode on Osamu Dazai? Thanks.

Great video 🔥👍 keep up they amazing work 👍🔥

I realize that this request does not pertain to this video at all, but I'd love a biographic on Kurt Vonnegut. Also, FREE DANNY!!!

What I think is interesting is that he was smoked out and shot in my hometown of King George and then died in Port Royal, just across the Rappahannock. Popular piece of history in my town.

"Know Nothing Party" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Can you please make a video on Lazaro Cardenas.

"Sic semper tyrannis" never seemed more needed than now.
