Wow, thanks for watching my video! This is the first time anyone has done a reaction to something I've made but I'm flattered that it was well-received by someone who knows much more about the topic than I do. Appreciate the shoutout! And I hope I can help bring some more attention to the oft-ignored northeast Ohio presidents :)
Fun Ohio fact. Ohio and Virginia both claim to be the state who produced the most presidents; that being a total of 8. The controversy is that both states take credit for William Henry Harrison, who was born in Virginia but moved and lived in Ohio when elected to office.
How about a video about the supposed Curse of Tippecanoe since all four of these presidents plus others that died in office were all elected or reelected in years that end in 0. Though it may be too soon to bring up the failed assassination attempt on Trump, who continues to insist along with his supporters that he actually won in 2020, in your humorous videos.

Nah, Chris is so kind to people saying the most ridiculous things - which is both very gentlemany and scholarly of him - that he cannot possibly make himself look bad in such a situation.

@MichaelBOverthinking Ohio boasts the 2nd most amount of presidential births in the US. The 1st most being Virginia (and West Virginia by proxy, prior to the civil war)
I've heard that Charles Guiteau actually argued in court that although he did *shoot* Garfield, it was the doctors who *killed* him. While he did have a valid point, the jury didn't buy that argument.
McKinley's assassination has always fascinated me. Weirdly enough, it's because I grew up a Buffalo Bills fan, and when I discovered MicKinley was killed in Buffalo, I was instantly drawn in. The fact he survived and continued to communicate for a week made the story even more interesting (and sad), as a lot of his conversations were recorded. It really made me respect the man a whole lot more, and it's crazy how positive his attitude was throughout the whole thing. Also, that whole Pan-American Expo (where he was shot) was also interesting. At the time, Buffalo was one of the fastest growing cities & the center for a lot of new technology like electricity, as it was the first American city to have widespread electric lighting. 8,000,000+ visitors attended the show, only for the president to be killed there.
This is so cool, I love A Grain of Salt! You should cover his video about the North Korean defectors too! Hope this brings some more people aboard the Grain Train
With Jackie Kennedy they offered her new clothes to replace the bloody clothes but Jackie said she wanted to keep the clothes on just to show everyone what they did to her love.
My 11th grade English teacher was Mrs. Evers, the daughter of James Leavelle, who was the man in the white hat escorting Oswald when he got shot. I know that because before Thanksgiving, a kid in class made a snarky remark about cops letting Oswald get shot, and she went off on the kid & talked about her dad putting up with a lot of crap from people.
It is kind of amazing that the secret service was not created until after Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley. I guess the US works on the three strikes system.
Lincoln actually signed the legislation creating the Secret Service just hours before he was shot. They just didn't take on responsibility for protecting the President until after McKinley's assassination.
Right?! Imagine how RFK Jr. must feel with them still not giving him Secret Service Protection during his campaigning for the presidency? Whether or not I agree with the guy, he is still deserving of the same protocols we give other candidates.
I thought there was an agency precursor to the SecretService, run by an investigator named Albert (or Allen?) Pinkerton. Am i crazy? This Pinkerton Agency was eventually involved in solving or preventing bank and train robberies.
The man is a legend, and he'll be remembered as a great president, and the only president to win two terms (consecutive or non-consecutive) by effectively curtailing the campaigns of the hopeful first female POTUS'. Of course we all know that the first Madam President will be a Republican, as the other party cannot even define what a woman is.....Trump/Vance2024....MASA-MAPA-MAGA!!!!!!
I think Garfield's was the saddest because it was the worst for the victim. He could have been saved but he spent his last months in agony because of medial malpractice. Lincoln and Kennedy at least lost consciousness immediately
If my math is correct and if he were to have been born in 1864 and not 1874 and lived to be 100 in 1964 instead of being 90. He would have been alive for all 4 assassinations? That is wild.
What is interesting are the unsuccessful attempts. A madman tried to kill Jackson, his gun misfiring, with Jackson beating the attempted assassin with his walking stick. Ford had the only two women who attempted to kill a president. Squeaky Fromme did not pay attention on how to use the gun she stole, and tried with an empty chamber. Sara Jane Moore was a known nutcase, and had her guns taken when Ford was planning a visit to SF. She never had a chance to sight in her replacement gun, and missed her first shot. She was tackled as she tried a second shot.
And the family of John Hinckley Jr, who shot Reagan, had ties to the family of then VP George Bush Sr. Hinckley’s brother had plans to meet Bush’s son Neil for dinner that evening.
I thought the person who gave Fromme the gun didn’t teach her how to load it. It’s also interesting the two attempts on Ford both happened in the same month.
Emilio Estevez is actually the older brother, and we'd expect the crazy behavior from Charlie Sheen, so it would be more appropriate to reverse those roles.
Well, you gotta wonder... what if Andrew Johnson's would-be assassin actually did go through with it? And I legitimately LOL'd at that "person everybody was forgetting" in the Kennedy section. :D
Not only was he not fired for being druken asleep on the job for Abraham's assassination. He then get assigned to guard Mary Tood Lincoln. Like seriously? 😂
Funny, I watched this video last night and thought to myself. This would be one I would like to see VTH do a reaction too, imagine my pleasant surprise when I log on to YT and see exactly that. Well done good sir, well done.
You can put the assassins in a political compass meme . Authleft: Lee Harvey Oswold (literal Marxist) . Authright: John Wilkes Booth (Confederate sympathizer) . Libleft: Leon Czolgoz (anarchist who saw McKinley as representing big business) . Libright: James Guiteau (proponent of the spoils system that wanted a job)
Sarah Vowell has a great book called Assassination Vacation that goes over all the interesting little details about the 4 assassinations. She also has not one but TWO great books on the Puritans that I thoroughly enjoyed.
:18.30 a speech in support of Garfield? I believe every single house cat in the United States of America should be able to eat any Italian cuisine that they choose.
The limo that Kennedy was riding in is currently on display at the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn, Michigan. The same museum also contains the Rosa Parks bus.
Would really be interested in a reaction to Manhunt. Boyle was phenomenal in that, the politics were interesting and Tobias Menzies - although he doesn't look much like Stanton - was also terrific playing Stanton.
A great book about the Jack Ruby trial is a book called Kennedy’s Avenger. It convincingly shows that Ruby was not part of a conspiracy to silence Oswald.
Jackie Kennedy wanted to be at LBJ’s swearing in and thought it was necessary for the continuation of government. Clint Hill (her secret service agent) stated that she was insistent on her being present and the photo to be taken with her standing there.
Have you been to Garfield's Memorial in Lakeview Cemetery? You could do a whole video on that alone, they finally finished the renovations this spring and reopened the upper viewing deck which is beautiful!
If not mentioned: The Oneida Community dissolved in 1881, converting itself to a joint-stock company. This eventually became the silverware company Oneida Limited, one of the largest in the world, fun fact.
In 1896 Garrett Hobart was President William McKinley's VP. Teddy Roosevelt wanted to be the 1900 VP candidate. Hobart refused to step aside then died in November 1899, age 55. TR and McKinley were elected November, 1900. McKinley was assassinated September, 1901 and TR became president. McKinley's campaign manager, Senator Mark Hanna, wanted to challenge TR in GOP presidential primaries in 1904. Hanna died February, 1904. TR is re-elected in November, 1904.
That's a lie he did not want to be VP when he was nominated in 1900 only one person in the convention opposed in his nomination and that wa Theodore Roosevelt
"Teddy Roosevelt wanted to be the 1900 VP candidate." No, he didn't. I'm not sure where you got that from. At the time, TR was Governor of New York and was working to reform the political system of the state. However, Thomas Platt the New York Republican Party boss hated TR and wanted him out of the state so he pressured McKinley to choose Roosevelt as his VP. TR relucantly accepted. The Vice Presidency at this point wasn't a highly sought after position. It was seen as a place where political careers go to die. Thomas Platt and others wanted to punish Teddy by putting him in a powerless position.
@@thephoenixxm4160 You are right. TR wanted to run for re-election as Governor of New York. But as you said reluctantly accepted the VP nomination. TR is said to have remarked to Mark Hanna something like "What neither of us wanted has happened". Hanna feared TR's popularity and thought he would be in the way of Hanna's future aspirations to be president after McKinley. Of course McKinley's assassination changed everything except Hanna's lifelong dislike of TR.
Interesting. I had no idea that Guiteau was part of the Oneida Community. I live 10 minutes from the Mansion House that they all used to live in. Their community is an interesting part of history, especially here in New York. I don't think a lot of people even know about it.
Jackie Kennedy was moved by two things. She 1. Wanted those responsible to see her blood soaked outfit and 2. She had a sense of indicating the process would continue, the government would go on.
I don’t know if you ever have heard or seen of Threads from the national tapestry. But they do wonderful videos about different aspects of the American civil war. Kind of longer videos but might be interesting to you to check out! Love what you do!
I understand the "it was a different time, a different society" thing. But even for the 1860s, it still seems pretty mystifying that Lincoln didn't have closer, more organized security than he did ("eh, the one drunk guy is enough"), given the wartime conditions.
I appreciate it when you get historical references in unexpected tv shows and films. For example, the 1980s comedy Real Genius ends with a weapons demonstration taking place with a scenario of an Important Person being assassinated while in a motorcade. Sure enough, they replicated the Kennedy Dallas motorcade. Then in the Battlestar Galactica reboot, they reproduce the famous photo of LBJ taking the oath of office on board Air Force One for Laura Roslin becoming president during a crisis.
Well, this was a great reaction. There's a movie about the assassination, manhunt, trial, and the execution of the people involved with the conspiracy to kill Lincoln starring James McAvoy, Robin Wright, Tom Wilkinson, etc. Not to mention Macfadyen was in Turn: Washington's Spies as Robert Rogers.
Hey Vth, the 80th anniversary of Operation Bagration, perhaps the worst defeat Germany ever suffered is coming up real soon. I think it would be cool if you checked out a video about it. It would also be a learning experience as the Eastern Front of WWII isn’t something you’re familiar with.
The photo of Johnson in Air Force One. I was in Dayton OH last weekend at the Air Force Museum. They have the plane there and you can walk through it. There is a plaque at the exit explaining about the seats removed to put Kennedy’s casket onboard for the flight to Washington. 36:54
They also continued to use the Air Force One that transported Kennedy in his coffin. They had to cut out the rear bulkhead to fit the coffin in the passenger compartment of the airplane. They later welded the bulkhead back in place, but you can see the seams from where it was cut and returned. The plane is on display at the United States Air Force museum in Dayton, Ohio.
36:49 A great doc from History, breaking down the 24 hours after the assassination, that when JFK aide Kenneth O’Donnell was asked by Johnson for Jackie’s presence, he asked Jackie - to which, she said “It’s the least I can do.” Makes me think that she at least knew full well the meaning for her to be there.
A lot of people draw comparisons between the assassinations of Lincoln and Kennedy, but there are some strong comparisons between Garfield's and Carter Harrison Sr. who was the mayor of Chicago in 1893. Both were shot by someone who thought that their meager contributions were the reason the elections were won and thought that they would be named to prestigious positions in the government.
As it would turn out, there is a connection between Robert Todd Lincoln and JFK. Lee Harvey Oswald’s father was not only named Robert Edward Lee Oswald, but was also a distant cousin of Robert E. Lee, who Robert Lincoln met at Appomattox Courthouse. Not only this, but Robert E Lee Oswald was also a third cousin of Teddy Roosevelt, who was also shot during his presidency. THE CURSE IS REAL
19:31 Another point on Garfield: He actually gave a nominating speech for fellow Ohio politician John Sherman at the 1880 GOP Convention. It went so well … delegates eventually rallied behind Garfield and picked him!

Yeah. Murder, even attempted murder, is a much more serious offense than medical malpractice (though that isn't saying much).
McKinley's assassination has always fascinated me.

I understand the "it was a different time, a different society" thing. But even for the 1860s, it still seems pretty mystifying that Lincoln didn't have closer, more organized security than he did ("eh, the one drunk guy is enough"), given the wartime conditions.
Definitely a tangent, but the name Czologosz was used in the first season of the Mission Impossible tv series for a villian.
I appreciate it when you get historical references in unexpected tv shows and films. For example, the 1980s comedy Real Genius ends with a weapons demonstration taking place with a scenario of an Important Person being assassinated while in a motorcade. Sure enough, they replicated the Kennedy Dallas motorcade. Then in the Battlestar Galactica reboot, they reproduce the famous photo of LBJ taking the oath of office on board Air Force One for Laura Roslin becoming president during a crisis.
Dr. Doctor Blitz reminds of Major Major Major from Catch 22.
Jack Ruby sounds chaotic neutral
if theres one thing for sure we know in all of this is that if you want to watch a movie on anything Chris has seen it
Well, this was a great reaction. There's a movie about the assassination, manhunt, trial, and the execution of the people involved with the conspiracy to kill Lincoln starring James McAvoy, Robin Wright, Tom Wilkinson, etc. Not to mention Macfadyen was in Turn: Washington's Spies as Robert Rogers.
Macfayden was also in another historical war drama, Operation Mincemeat, but is probably best known as Darcy in the 2005 Pride & Prejudice
Hey Vth, the 80th anniversary of Operation Bagration, perhaps the worst defeat Germany ever suffered is coming up real soon. I think it would be cool if you checked out a video about it. It would also be a learning experience as the Eastern Front of WWII isn’t something you’re familiar with.
The photo of Johnson in Air Force One. I was in Dayton OH last weekend at the Air Force Museum. They have the plane there and you can walk through it. There is a plaque at the exit explaining about the seats removed to put Kennedy’s casket onboard for the flight to Washington. 36:54
Caitlyn Doughtery has a good video on JFKs death and burial.
They also continued to use the Air Force One that transported Kennedy in his coffin. They had to cut out the rear bulkhead to fit the coffin in the passenger compartment of the airplane.
They later welded the bulkhead back in place, but you can see the seams from where it was cut and returned.
The plane is on display at the United States Air Force museum in Dayton, Ohio.
36:49 A great doc from History, breaking down the 24 hours after the assassination, that when JFK aide Kenneth O’Donnell was asked by Johnson for Jackie’s presence, he asked Jackie - to which, she said “It’s the least I can do.”
Makes me think that she at least knew full well the meaning for her to be there.
A lot of people draw comparisons between the assassinations of Lincoln and Kennedy, but there are some strong comparisons between Garfield's and Carter Harrison Sr. who was the mayor of Chicago in 1893. Both were shot by someone who thought that their meager contributions were the reason the elections were won and thought that they would be named to prestigious positions in the government.
As it would turn out, there is a connection between Robert Todd Lincoln and JFK. Lee Harvey Oswald’s father was not only named Robert Edward Lee Oswald, but was also a distant cousin of Robert E. Lee, who Robert Lincoln met at Appomattox Courthouse. Not only this, but Robert E Lee Oswald was also a third cousin of Teddy Roosevelt, who was also shot during his presidency. THE CURSE IS REAL
19:31 Another point on Garfield: He actually gave a nominating speech for fellow Ohio politician John Sherman at the 1880 GOP Convention. It went so well … delegates eventually rallied behind Garfield and picked him!
