I’m not sure I’d say Hayes is the most forgotten, since he is usually offhandedly mentioned in the context of Reconstruction. I think Arthur and Filmore are more forgotten personally.
I think Pierce is the most forgotten. Fillmore is remembered because of his interesting name (Millard) and because of the Know Nothings.

He isn't even rememered for causing the Civil War, because another Democrat (Buchanan) followed him and took the blame.

By using the nuclear bombs we showed them that we could destroy them without even fighting them. Which made the goverment finally surrender. It was a horrible event. But it saved millions.
@@monarchistemu6054 The firebombing of Japan made sure that much more than just 2 cities were destroyed. The atomic bombs were impactful because of all the damage being from 1 bomb + radiation, not the end result of the cities.

There were, however, many decisions much worse during WW2 and the death toll of the bombs, while unnecessary, can be easily overshadowed by many other unnecessary deaths.

Brazil was also in favour of a independent Paraguay. As long as Brazil could have access to the rivers of the region there was no reason to deal with the trouble of annexing a bunch of platineans or guaranis who would rebel constantly against Brazil and serve as justification for foreign agression. And Brazil didnt want its main rival gaining more territory.

In kindergarten we has to put on a performance where we all dressed up as diffrent presidents and sing songs about some of them. I was assigned Rutherford B Hayes, so to me he will never be forgotten.
Poke Emblem I mean he was in Kindegarten, he might have never known about what Hayes did in Paraguay. Unless, he was taught by somebody about what Hayes did in Paraguay.
Wow! This was a genuine surprise to see on my feed. I'm Paraguayan-American and it was cool to learn about this. I knew about the War of the Triple Alliance and that the Chaco was involved in it, but I didn't know about Hayes' involvement. I do remember him from history class though, some how.
Lived in Fremont Ohio most of my life, Hayes is well known there and the estate Spiegel Grove is a beautiful place to visit. In honor of Hayes being an officer in the Civil War, there was a reenactment in his memory for years and I took part in that
Bolivia is such a funny country (more politically speaking ), here is why: Right after independence in 1826 Bolivia always desired a better port to the sea so they proclaimed Arica as theirs. Initially it seemed Peru would accept giving them Arica but it refused. After the war of the Pacific they immediately started complaining about their lack of an access to a sea. As the Tacna-Arica dispute was going on at one moment Bolivia attempted to appeal to the League of Nations to have the matter revised but it predictably failed and the International Court back then rejected their case. At one moment some Bolivian diplomat indirectly suggested to Chile/Peru that, since neither of them could agree to referendum about Tacna/Arica and that since the dispute had been going on since 1894, it would be better if Bolivia got these territories. Of course both sides said no. And later when the USA attempted to arbitrate the issue of Tacna-Arica in 1925-26 Bolivia desired to participate in the talks as well but their pleas were ignored. And they're still at it until this day ! Losing a war and some territory is obviously never a good thing but whining about it all the time isn't really productive and good either lmao
@Arthur _ "except for Argentina that should be erased fromthe map" As an argie, ouch. But we hava a cool history or conflict! Emmm emmm half of our history are dictartoships and civil wars... thats just sad emmm ... "Drinks mate" There was a sugestion to make argentina a monarchy and have a descendent of the inca emperor as king. The elites of the country didnt like it. Is that cool?
I'm Paraguayan. Funnily enough, Paraguay almost declared war on the United States a couple decades before the Triple Alliance War, in what's recalled in Paraguay as "the Waterwitch incident".
Learning about this war from english sources made me abandon my native latinoamerican historical academia completely. The "professional" versions about the conflict are incredibly one-sided(both those for and against Lopez) at least here in Argentina All in all i must thank them,the last three or four years of learning history exclusively from anglo-saxon/ french academia (i only know those two other languages) have not only resulted in a broader and more complete analisis of pretty much every period of history but also served me to realize how horribly partisan Latin American history is, specially when i remember the stupid things i was thaught in school.
@@GabrielSoares-ju9yq i don't want to sound disrespectfull or insulting by any means but after spending most of my life consuming outright BS from latin american historians (from the entire political spectrum mind you, i'm not pointing to anyone in specific but lationamerican history-related academia as a whole) being called an eurocentrist seems as a compliment more than anything else, specially if it means finding a more complete understanding of history.
A friend of mine (also from Brazil) went to Paraguay and he said he saw an monument written: "Here lies an paraguayan hero, shot dead by 3 Brazilian cowards" He said that like 3 years ago but i cant stop thinking about it
interesting fact you told about my country, paraguay. you should talk about an important russian tzarist which is actually forgotten in russia, but he's literally adored by aboriginals in paraguay.

I heard a story about Paraguayan diplomats arriving in DC and asking where a monument to Hayes was so that they could show their respects. USAians were confused. Not sure how true that is.
Today? Obviously, but in the middle of the nineteenth century, with the very low demographic density and education level it was perfectly possible and as it happened dozens of times around the world to absorb entire regions and countries in other countries and other cultures, and Paraguay after the war was weakened enough to be absorbed by the neighbors, lucky for them that it did not happen.
@@kevingonzalez9191 What are you talking about? Latin America had a much lower population density than Europe, and entire countries had their ethnic and linguistic composition changed in the nineteenth century. Brazil, for example, at the beginning of the nineteenth century had a predominant population of Indians and mestizos with whites and Tupi was spoken more than Portuguese, in the middle of the century, with the African slave trade it became a country of black majority, at the end of the century, with mass European immigration, it became a country with a white majority, not even mestizo, white, entire regions of Brazil completely changed the composition of its populations during the century. Now, Paraguay, devastated and with its male population wiped out, could easily be overwhelmed by Italian immigrants if absorbed by Argentina.
@Melnek I was mostly talking of country composition,in the sense of its existence,in Latin America there were no major wars of conquest.But since you want to talk for demographics,we’ll first of all Europeans never overtook mixed people in Brazil,”whites” only make up 47% of the population,the rest are non white.And white is mostly referring as in most of Latin America to looks,as genetically Brazilian people like other Latinos are mixed since there was no Jim Crow laws baring marriage between groups paa2015.princeton.edu/papers/150808 In fact besides Africa ,Brazil is the country with most Afro descendent people in the world.
So white people in Brazil aren’t inbred like in the US,were dispite what Nazis might try to fear monger you most marry white people,including white women mostly marry white men. www.pewsocialtrends.org/2017/05/18/1-trends-and-patterns-in-intermarriage/

Very good video man! I like to suggest you to talk of Urguay, that passed from an Argentinian province to Brazilian one (Cisplatina) and how this two got in an war to get the territory but they got instead his independece
Nice job with this one. Would you consider also making a video on how one of the most despised US Presidents (Woodrow Wilson) helped Poland? He not only publicly supported Polish independence, but also demanded a sea access for the new Polish state in his 13th point, being the first foreign leader to even bring up this case. You could make some maps about numerous border disputes surrounding its creation, they're really interesting.
Nobody: Paraguay: Invading the biggest local power without reason and without declaring war with a population 12x bigger than yours, losing 90% of the male population, being left with an unpayable debt, losing the war and complaining until today, 150 years after the end of the war Ultra Stonks
@@siulseven1096 no, is correct 90% of all male population, only respect excluding kids and elders and 60% of the global pop (that means 10% of female pop)
our reason was defense, there was a secretly signed treaty before our first movement between Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, by the way in the first move we captured a Brazilian boat called Marques de Olinda, full of soldiers going directly to our capital

The War of the Triple Alliance/Paraguayan War was utterly devastating - massive % of loss. And with over 400,000 dead proportionally even deadlier than the American Civil War (given the much smaller population)
If you look from the 1960s to the 1970s and then the 80s you see how institutionalized racism went away. The 70s you obviously still had racist people but now they couldn't have their way like before. So it does make me think that if reconstruction had been properly enforced from 1865 to maybe the 1890s then jim crow wouldn't have occurred. And if it did then the government could've done what Eisenhower later did in Little Rock. Another thing too was how the south didnt even fully rebuild until around ww2. You still had most of the white population beinf super poor and jim crow allowed them to vent their anger towards poor blacks instead of those in power in their regions

Brazil was also in favour of a independent Paraguay. As long as Brazil could have access to the rivers of the region there was no reason to deal with the trouble of annexing a bunch of platineans or guaranis who would rebel constantly against Brazil and serve as justification for foreign agression. And Brazil didnt want its main rival gaining more territory.

Did you mention Paraguay?

@@t0xicator I probably didn't even know what a Paraguay was
Andrew Hammond Oof. If only you knew.
Very good and well researched video. The Paraguay War is one of those forgotten conflicts that are actually very important for everyone involved.
Wow! This was a genuine surprise to see on my feed. I'm Paraguayan-American and it was cool to learn about this. I knew about the War of the Triple Alliance and that the Chaco was involved in it, but I didn't know about Hayes' involvement.
I do remember him from history class though, some how.
It honestly warms my heart to see someone largely forgotten be honored so much in another country
Lived in Fremont Ohio most of my life, Hayes is well known there and the estate Spiegel Grove is a beautiful place to visit. In honor of Hayes being an officer in the Civil War, there was a reenactment in his memory for years and I took part in that
Bolivia is such a funny country (more politically speaking ), here is why:
Right after independence in 1826 Bolivia always desired a better port to the sea so they proclaimed Arica as theirs. Initially it seemed Peru would accept giving them Arica but it refused. After the war of the Pacific they immediately started complaining about their lack of an access to a sea. As the Tacna-Arica dispute was going on at one moment Bolivia attempted to appeal to the League of Nations to have the matter revised but it predictably failed and the International Court back then rejected their case. At one moment some Bolivian diplomat indirectly suggested to Chile/Peru that, since neither of them could agree to referendum about Tacna/Arica and that since the dispute had been going on since 1894, it would be better if Bolivia got these territories. Of course both sides said no. And later when the USA attempted to arbitrate the issue of Tacna-Arica in 1925-26 Bolivia desired to participate in the talks as well but their pleas were ignored. And they're still at it until this day ! Losing a war and some territory is obviously never a good thing but whining about it all the time isn't really productive and good either lmao
Bolivia: So salty, it crystallized on the ground for miles.
@Arthur __ and I thought the Emu War was weird enough.
Paraguay: *Laughs in Paraguayan River*
@Arthur _ "except for Argentina that should be erased fromthe map"
As an argie, ouch. But we hava a cool history or conflict! Emmm emmm half of our history are dictartoships and civil wars... thats just sad emmm
...
"Drinks mate"
There was a sugestion to make argentina a monarchy and have a descendent of the inca emperor as king. The elites of the country didnt like it.
Is that cool?
@Arthur _ lmao!!
Jajaja yeah, but i wanted to make another joke about that.
I'm Paraguayan. Funnily enough, Paraguay almost declared war on the United States a couple decades before the Triple Alliance War, in what's recalled in Paraguay as "the Waterwitch incident".
If Paraguay declared war on the US, you would be an US-American territory now.
Learning about this war from english sources made me abandon my native latinoamerican historical academia completely.
The "professional" versions about the conflict are incredibly one-sided(both those for and against Lopez) at least here in Argentina
All in all i must thank them,the last three or four years of learning history exclusively from anglo-saxon/ french academia (i only know those two other languages) have not only resulted in a broader and more complete analisis of pretty much every period of history but also served me to realize how horribly partisan Latin American history is, specially when i remember the stupid things i was thaught in school.
eurocentrism.
@@GabrielSoares-ju9yq i don't want to sound disrespectfull or insulting by any means but after spending most of my life consuming outright BS from latin american historians (from the entire political spectrum mind you, i'm not pointing to anyone in specific but lationamerican history-related academia as a whole) being called an eurocentrist seems as a compliment more than anything else, specially if it means finding a more complete understanding of history.

Paraguay is better being independent. They have a distinctive culture and they even have a language they only speak.
Today? Obviously, but in the middle of the nineteenth century, with the very low demographic density and education level it was perfectly possible and as it happened dozens of times around the world to absorb entire regions and countries in other countries and other cultures, and Paraguay after the war was weakened enough to be absorbed by the neighbors, lucky for them that it did not happen.
@Melnek What works in Europe doesn’t necessary happen in Latin America.
@@kevingonzalez9191 What are you talking about? Latin America had a much lower population density than Europe, and entire countries had their ethnic and linguistic composition changed in the nineteenth century.
Brazil, for example, at the beginning of the nineteenth century had a predominant population of Indians and mestizos with whites and Tupi was spoken more than Portuguese, in the middle of the century, with the African slave trade it became a country of black majority, at the end of the century, with mass European immigration, it became a country with a white majority, not even mestizo, white, entire regions of Brazil completely changed the composition of its populations during the century. Now, Paraguay, devastated and with its male population wiped out, could easily be overwhelmed by Italian immigrants if absorbed by Argentina.
@Melnek I was mostly talking of country composition,in the sense of its existence,in Latin America there were no major wars of conquest.But since you want to talk for demographics,we’ll first of all Europeans never overtook mixed people in Brazil,”whites” only make up 47% of the population,the rest are non white.And white is mostly referring as in most of Latin America to looks,as genetically Brazilian people like other Latinos are mixed since there was no Jim Crow laws baring marriage between groups paa2015.princeton.edu/papers/150808
In fact besides Africa ,Brazil is the country with most Afro descendent people in the world.
So white people in Brazil aren’t inbred like in the US,were dispite what Nazis might try to fear monger you most marry white people,including white women mostly marry white men. www.pewsocialtrends.org/2017/05/18/1-trends-and-patterns-in-intermarriage/
So that’s why Rutherford has a higher search rate in Paraguay than the US.

Nice job with this one. Would you consider also making a video on how one of the most despised US Presidents (Woodrow Wilson) helped Poland? He not only publicly supported Polish independence, but also demanded a sea access for the new Polish state in his 13th point, being the first foreign leader to even bring up this case. You could make some maps about numerous border disputes surrounding its creation, they're really interesting.
Nobody:
Paraguay:
Invading the biggest local power without reason and without declaring war with a population 12x bigger than yours, losing 90% of the male population, being left with an unpayable debt, losing the war and complaining until today, 150 years after the end of the war

@@siulseven1096 no, is correct 90% of all male population, only respect excluding kids and elders and 60% of the global pop (that means 10% of female pop)
our reason was defense, there was a secretly signed treaty before our first movement between Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, by the way in the first move we captured a Brazilian boat called Marques de Olinda, full of soldiers going directly to our capital
Rutherford B. Hayes has been my favorite president since middle school just because no one remembered him

Okay so in the Southern Victory saga. Paraguay would never exist.

The War of the Triple Alliance/Paraguayan War was utterly devastating - massive % of loss.
And with over 400,000 dead proportionally even deadlier than the American Civil War (given the much smaller population)
If you look from the 1960s to the 1970s and then the 80s you see how institutionalized racism went away. The 70s you obviously still had racist people but now they couldn't have their way like before. So it does make me think that if reconstruction had been properly enforced from 1865 to maybe the 1890s then jim crow wouldn't have occurred. And if it did then the government could've done what Eisenhower later did in Little Rock.
Another thing too was how the south didnt even fully rebuild until around ww2. You still had most of the white population beinf super poor and jim crow allowed them to vent their anger towards poor blacks instead of those in power in their regions
Always wondered how Tilden would've handled the same situation in Paraguay; the man was a knife's edge from being the 19th president
