    Sadly the United States has weakened inventor's protections for their patents, thereby stifling innovation. Thank you for this presentation and for your efforts to laud George Westinghouse Jr.'s life and work. But, were it not for George Senior's SEVEN patents, and the wealth it created for his family, Westinghouse Jr. would likely not been able to start his businesses the way he did. The World also OWES George Westinghouse SENIOR a tremendous debt of gratitude. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR POSTING THIS LECTURE!

    why McKinley? he was president during the Spanish-american war where America became an Empire. we claimed Puerto Rico Hawaii Philippines & Guam. in addition Cuba was set to be handed over too but those plans fell thru. he was commander in chief using telegraph to communicate directly with generals.

    I find the story of Evelyn Nesbit fascinating and tragic. She was used by her mother and sexaully abused by these men of "prominence." What I also find sad is that she is potrayed as being a naive girl of little intellect. If you read her books, or books about her like American Eve, she was very literate and bright. Her portrayal in both the Ragtime movie and play is shameful.

    Jane Jacobs' take on the City Beautiful movement is that it contributed to the hollowing out of inner cities, demolished dense, human-scale, mixed-use, responsive neighborhoods in favor of stuff that looks nice driving through it but is no good for living in, and that it gave us our current innovation-stifling zoning laws and municipality-bankrupting suburbs. Pretty convincing, I have to be honest.

    That was more modernism and urban renewal, sure the city beautiful moment did lead to the demolition of “blighted” areas in the same way as urban renewal but it was focused on public space and community centers as opposed to the car dominated freeways of modernism. Like I wouldn’t exactly call the national mall “hollow and empty” most of DC was built around the city beautiful moment actually and is extremely walkable and mixed use

    As you can see by this politicians need to be watched closely. They will go to great length to cheat and lie. Parallelisms to Trumpist efforts and activities are clear. Some actors might have been familiar with the events of the election of 1876. The election of 1876 should be studied closely at this time. Voters may have been clearly disenfranchised during the election process of 1876. Ultimately a congressional committee selected the president. Additional highly political factors are present in the chain of causality that resulted in the determination of the disputed electoral votes. Great efforts had been made to declare a winner based upon the decree of U.S. Grant, etc. Grant declined to declare Hayes the winner and he may have continued in his belief that Tilden won. Beware of politicians.

    In 1926, John Volk set up his architectural firm, partnering with Gustav Maass until 1935. Volk became one of the architects (along with Mizner, Fatio and Howard and Wyeth) contributing to the Palm Beach area's signature style. Volk's early projects were designed in the Mediterranean Revival style, but he was more reserved in his use of ornamentation. Volk went on to design projects in the West Indian British Colonial style and the Bermudan style and he became known for his Georgian Revival designs.

    Tilden got robbed?...clearly it was very close and throughout the south massive voter supression of the black male citizens of the US would have grealy boosted and clearified the Hayes was the winner. However to prevent the fractious and destructive debate the compromise was made to end federal protections fir the rights of freed men to exercise their constitutional rights. Hayes should have won and no compromise should have been necessary. The country however and moreover the entire freed black american community had to endure white supremeicity terrorism until the civil rights struggles of the 1960s dialed things back..and a peoples right to vote had to be enshrined in law.

    Obviously this book and this presentation was done years before the election of 2020. I would love to see some point by point comparison of the 1876 election and the 2020 election. I think the certification of electors by the respective state governors was key in each. I think Congress and the Supreme Court wanted be neutral as much as possible. It also seems to me to demonstrate that ‘paper ballots’ and ‘Election Day voting only’ are NOT ‘magic bullets’ to ensure election integrity.

    thank you, Prof Smith, for putting Grant back where he belongs as one the best of chief executives of the US. Grant is the leader who should have succeeded Lincoln. the almost 4 years of Andrew Johnson, who until recently was considered the worst of that crowd, allowed the southern aristocrats to retrench and impose their hegemony once more in the rebellious states of the south. the hole thus created, the country is *still* trying to crawl out of.

    Oddly, one piece of continuity between the assassinations of Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley. Robert Todd Lincoln was in D.C. when his father was shot and rushed to his deathbed to be with him. He was Secretary of War under James Garfield, and witnessed him being shot. And, he was in Buffalo, NY, and nearby when McKinley was shot. He was outside the Temple of Music at the Pan-American Exposition where the President was shot.

    Voter fraud and intimidation is wrong now, and has been wrong since the birth of this nation. If you are a candidate, and your platform or ideas do not entice enough people to vote you into office, then the platform, the ideas, or the candidate need to change. And, all voter irregularities must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest of the law. Regardless of party…
