They tame the elephants using fear. They always have someone standing there that the elephants were afraid of to control them. I spoke to a truck driver that drove elephants for years describing how they were treated while crying silently and claiming his guilt for witnessing it and not acting
That's one of the ways people tame beasts.. Fear, reward, watching of parents etc.. Fear produces the best result but can leave the animal with high stress while reward often has a less desirable effect especially with the more aggressive animals..
He stole Jumbo from London that was beloved by everyone only for him to mistreat him and let the poor thing get hit by a train completley exploited that poor Elephant
Sort of. Today, we supposedly know better. Until just a few years ago, the standards of our own time were well above what they plummeted to under "it's cool to be bigoted/asinine/rude again." If we judge people today by the standards *of our own time* then a large percentage of us are shameful. We don't even have Barnum's excuse.
@@Juliet_Capulet Yeah _supposedly_ as you said. There's no balance and we are constantly looking for problems. I hope later generations will understand how unnecessary the politically correct mindset is. There are some good things it does, as anything unhealthily overdone can accomplish. However it is creating issues where there aren't issues. I think we have to be tough. I think we are focusing too much on how we talk and we should focus that energy on other things, like trying to change government.
“I came to this legislature simply because I wished to have the honor of voting for the two constitutional amendments - one for driving slavery entirely out of our country; the other to allow men of education and good moral character to vote, regardless of the color of their skins.” -P.T. Barnum
No mention of Barnum being a Universalist (aka Christian Universalism), the belief that all are eventually fully reconciled to God, my personal belief and hope as well.
God, thank you for breaking curses over your people. I now know that there is now, no longer a curse, thanks to your son, Jesus. I pray knowledge of this through believers in Jesus name. Amen 🙏
it's a shame that today's children will never get a chance to see a true good circus of I'm glad I got a chance to see some good stuff happened at a circus I really wish you could come back with some good guidelines to keep the animals from getting hurt Barnum Bailey Circus the only live on in memory and it's just not fair all that history gone
Im in my 30s but i wish we could still have animal circuses like in my childhood as for the treatment of animals visit a slaughterhouse and see how those aninals are treated. The elephants had it nice compared to tht
So basically PT barmun was a guy who tried to help poeple understand different poeple but it ended up like a freakshow and poeple saw them as "monster" He used a little kid who he only hired for 4 week incase he grew taller (tom thumb was suppose to be a dawf but he was 5) The 161 was half that age (she died around 80 years) He lied for the fame and money Poeple compare him to donald Trump Pt Barmun made poeple judge different poeple (It still happens today :( Where do you think "The greatest showman" came from? Yep it was inspired by PT barmun
the bagpipes were reconstructed for handbags and once plaid of Burberry was introduced the stock merger had intentions to expand public transit and punished the Haitian higher flesh tone women for the golf bag renovation what they called it at the time instead of innovation to vacuums NOT afro american women compensation holders in transit
@@crixxxxxxxxx How did they take advantage of anyone? People like being fooled at freak shows and Barnum employed people who would be outcasts everywhere else. Trump ran a successful business and became president. People like him because he tells it how it is. Whether you like it or not, these two men were good for America
@@willriley994 Please. Trump was the worst president in American history. A buffoonish clown whose presidency was a disaster of incompetence and corruption. Gullible idiots bought into the idea that he was a competent leader. It was a transparent sham. Everything Trump touches becomes a disaster and the country thankfully fired him. He’s nothing but a embarrassing loser now.

What a horrific “journalist” creating a hate “mock” piece ONLY to have it backfire. No wonder no one takes him seriously or with any credit. I’ve already forgotten his name. He owes his ENTIRE career to this shrewd 7min TH-cam video. The only “memory” of his pathetic existence and yet all to be forgotten and the intelligence to see clearly beyond his cheap polluted clouds into the amazing that was Barnum. People will continue to speak and learn about the incredible human Barnum. This cub reporters name already forgotten has Barnum to thank for his 5 mins of fame for if it wasn’t for Barnum he would have never been seen. A most un-valuable site only to be seen from an invaluable individual. In his death Barnum still is able to bring attraction to things that are of no value although this instance by accident and without any interest or intention.
Barnum looks like human Pennywise
Don't compare him to Pennywise the Clown is too likable

I sometimes consider Barnum as the Walt Disney of his time

Vince McMahon is the closest thing to PT Barnum we have today
If someone published a book named Barnum, my first thought would be "This must be a book on how to own a barn"
You think you're funny?

"Barnum should be judged by the standards of his time, and how he changed" - God, this means so much in today's cancel culture.

Except, he was an immoral liar, exploiter and cheater even in his own times standards.
I knew it, The Greatest Showman was all about freakshows
but I didn't know back then that it was actually based in real life, about P.T. Barnum
Supposedly, P.T. Barnum said "I don't care what others say about me as long as they correctly spell my name". I like that, whether it's true or not.
The Nobelest art is making other happy - P. T. BURNAM

He is the best
The original Stan Pines (from Gravity Falls)
YES!!! The more I look into him the more I can see where Stans inspiration came from.
Strange, I was just thinking about this man
One of the best.
P.T. Barnum for President
He is my great great great uncle on my grandma's side of the family
Don’t believe it
There's a lot of his influence on the world today! Reach out to us if you have any questions about his history!
Shake the hand
That shook the hand
Of PT Barnum and Charlie Chan
RIP Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia 🌹✝️🌹
😎😎😎 And ..he never lied...safe and effective...you can trust Barnum
A fascinating man!
I wonder if he'd have me as "broken stomach lady" cos of my ibs
Lmfao😂 keep checked up on that tho bab I thought I had ibs and its most likely a cyst make sure you rule everything out and keep safe😊
How many tickets does get sold per show? Or how many people visit per show?
POV ur one of his great great great great nephew
Really??
Sooo... he was a Ripley like guy
Im surprised that there's only 66 comments ._.
the atayde brothers circus is presenting a show in tribute to barnum of very good quality and success
Keep in mind he made his fortune at a time when there was NO income tax. It was a REAL "land of the free."

Really?
do not make fun on
Barnum
the fact this is up without recognizing that elephants were beaten to submission is appalling. once again shame on CBS and the circus industry
1800s. Animal care knowledge was basically nonexistent.
No mention of Barnum being a Universalist (aka Christian Universalism), the belief that all are eventually fully reconciled to God,
my personal belief and hope as well.
Barnum looks like my bean
I spent the first 25 yrs of my life as a resident of P.T. Barnum Apts in Bridgeport, CT.... still a circus.
Waou
Ratio
Before Disney was PT Barnum.
One of the many BIG differences between him and Trump is that Trump would never vote for the 13th Amendment.
Your TDS is showing.
God, thank you for breaking curses over your people. I now know that there is now, no longer a curse, thanks to your son, Jesus. I pray knowledge of this through believers in Jesus name. Amen 🙏
This clip does not show elephants abused, but the fact they are in captivity means they were abused.
Maybe they were born in captivity but they were abused
Thats a pretty common fact, nearly everyone knows they abused the elephants
it's a shame that today's children will never get a chance to see a true good circus of I'm glad I got a chance to see some good stuff happened at a circus I really wish you could come back with some good guidelines to keep the animals from getting hurt Barnum Bailey Circus the only live on in memory and it's just not fair all that history gone
Amazing how CBS can make a documentary about P.T. Barnum......a story about Trump.......MAGA.
Trump is the PT Barnum of the presidency
That's a compliment though
Barnum was successful and lived one of the most American lives ever
@@willriley994 it’s not the qualities you want in a president.
@@NoOne-ii1th Sure it is

Barnum and Trump both familiar with clownish behavior and running a circus.
