- President Abraham Lincoln has to be one of the most well known Presidents of the United States. But just as well known is his assassination. His killer, John Wilkes Booth leapt onto the stage at Fords Theater after committing the dreadful act and proclaimed 'Sic Semper Tyrannis' but what does that mean?

That's a very interesting accent you have,I can hear Scottish and somewhere in the south of England in your accent !and possibly Scottish Highlands although could very well be central belt like Glasgow.
"Oww, my leg!" was what he was thinking...
😂
Yeah, the first thing out of his mouth was probably something like, “Fudge!”
More interesting: Booth's last words as he lay dying were "Useless.... Useless." Was he referring to his crushing disappointment of not seeing the south rise up at the assassination as he had dreamed, or the fact he was paralyzed by a gunshot into his spine and could no longer move his hands (which he asked to see just before he died?)
I really pity that man, I know a lot of poor folks who turn to degrading states at the loss of the single most important aspect in any creature alive ever. Control, he had no control over his addiction as he drank and drank, he had no control over the tide of the civil war, and when he finally decided to act, to do something, anything, he lost control of his body, may he rest and find more peace and solitary in the afterlife

He killed a man, a good man.
Why do people have to always side and be fans of murderers goddamnit
Lincoln was a a tyrannt who killed journalist and towns of innocent people in the south
Could listen to your voice all day sir, just wonderful is your narration, love it, take care.👍💙
I really like this creator he deserves far more subs than he has.
"Sic semper tyrannis" is also the motto for the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA.
Damn bro got the look 🥶🥶🥶
Love your channel.
There was way more to that story.
Sic semper tyrannis
“Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the show?”
😂
Then rathbone went crazy and killed his wife and himself..he blamed himself for not being able to save abe.
Henry survived his suicide attempt and he tried to kill their children then was put in a mental hospital until he died
Interestingly, this is a question with multiple books worth of stuff to learn and conflicting information to get to the bottom of.
There have been interviews with literally hundreds of the people who were witnesses that night, from the actors on stage during the scene it happened to people in every row of the theater and backstage.
Most of them gave conflicting reports of what happened, the biggest of which is that a significant number of people said they heard him shout from the box itself something different than what he shouted onstage.
"The south is avenged!" And "I have avenged the south" have both been claimed to be what he yelled. Some say he didn't say the Latin phrase it on stage at all, but from the presidential box as he jumped down.
Many say he held his dagger in the air while he gave the phrase, some of whom said it was covered in Henry Rathbone's blood. But, some disagree with this.
There's a thousand different accounts of what happened, some unrecognizably different than what is officially acknowledged.
Fascinating, but we'll never know exactly what he said. Says alot about observational evidence and witness testimony that as soon as hours after it happened, interviews with and writing of witnesses are so wildly different it's hard to believe it's the same event at all.
There is actually a way to listen to what happened, but for some reason this technology is not used. It has been available for decades. Nothing spooky. Just a very strange fact of sound vibrations.
@@BaptistJoshua how so? I should note that the interior of Ford's Theater was gutted and demolished in the late 1860s, and a large floor collapse demolished much of the original building (that was then of course reipared)
Oh. If it was gutted, it won't work. Rats. I was honeschooled through ACE and one thing we learned was sound vibrations continue within solid objects. Someone invented a way to "tune in" to a solid object and amplify the weak signals. Ironically, they specifically spoke of finding something like a rock that was present at the Gettysburg Address, so they could audibly hear Lincoln's famously distinctly odd voice.
John Wilkes booth was possibly schizophrenic and psychotic..what's crazy is his brother Edwin was a Lincoln supporter and even saved one of Lincoln's sons from falling off a train platform and away from a moving train...
What I never understood maybe I'm slow but why Lincoln didn't have a guard if not guards behind him whether they were in the booth or at the door outside?
Lincoln's guard was at a saloon next door to the theater drinking.
Assassins hardly work alone. Lincoln's guards let Booth do his deed.
because he deserved it...
say what you want about the confederacy they had a right to succeed even if you dont like the reasons they wanted to succeed for they had a right to
not like theyd even have kept the slaves long if they did... Britain would have seen to that
@@t8kabr8km85 Yeah, and i dont really care about the confederacy or anything like that, but lot of modern people seem to overlook that Lincoln was fairly tyrannical president imho
@@t8kabr8km85
Bro you could say the same about the nazis…
Like what were you smoking 6 months ago xd
Lincoln only had one body guard whom he had given the night off.
I love your accent!!
Love your content, AND especially your accent. ❤
Love your videos ❤️👌🏻
😒 c'mon Mr A.J , its 01:35 am here and i definitely dont need that face showing up .
Can you make a video about the Nepalese Royal Massacre?
I wish to thank the British peoples for appreciating America. It has not been easy.
But what he said before was even more interesting
"Game recognize game and you looking mighty unfamiliar"

Sic semper tyrannis! = Ever this to tyrants!
Based!
"Doggone tyrant took away my slaves! *bang* Take that!"
Good job, John. Really made your point there...🤦
well informed hot take
Lincoln established the Federal Government as a Tyrant, for better or worse.
‘Useless, useless…’
I have an M.A. in the Science of Modern History and this abhorrent event in our somewhat recent history has always fascinated me.
*As a joke, I put up a colored picture of Lewis Payne (Powell), asking if anyone found him attractive- 92% said YES!
Useless, useless…🙄
I LOVE your channel, your content!🖤👌🏼

Stay safe mates🌎✌🏼
Peace & Prayers for the people of Ukraine🇺🇦
@Dennis McConnell Clearly you don't know what a "bad guy" looks like if you admire V. Putin and his ruthless war of expansion. He will answer to mothers on both sides for the sons and daughters he has murdered.
Millions? You wouldn't have a solid source for that would you? My source is on Russian and Ukraine and 24/7. Where's the proof of your contrived "millions murdered"? C'mon, I'm willing to have my mind changed.
"That was for the vampires!"
Public "schoolers" born after 2000 pronably think that is a documentary.
Everyone would know that someone had just been shot because a gunshot is really loud😂
John Booth: Pro Slavery dude, yet talking about "Tyrants"... 🙄
I guess you missed the part where Lincoln did the whole free the 'slaves' bit.
Lincoln also said: "If you want slaves, first...become one."
SLAVERY IS PLAN AWFUL ...PERIOD.
But, black folk also had white folks as slaves but that's never taught in schools.
I hope one day folks will just see people as 'people' & we can all just live in peace.
@Ruth Shelton I wasn't criticizing Lincoln. Ruth, you seem to have a strange understanding of history. What infinitesimal percentage of United States slave owners were Black, with White slaves? 1 out of a million? That's the exception that proves the rule.
@@Alvan81
Who knows what % was what. That's in the past.
At least we both agree that slavery is a very horrible thing.
I spent 26 yrs in the U.S. Army. I just wish the world's people would learn to live in peace. Church tomorrow. I hope you have a blessed Sunday
@Ruth Shelton Someone knows, should I look it up?!🙄
To be clear, my comment was _criticizing John Wilkes Booth._
After rereading your comments, It's not clear to me you knew that. IMO simple greed is the primary sin that drove slavery then and exploitation now.
It makes sense from the overall perspective. Like someone else had said on another video, the modern day equivalent would be like a president taking away a farmers machinery to be able to farm. Without slavery it was impossible to do. Doesn’t mean it’s right but we also need to look at history in a different lens, not with our modern sensibilities.
Gotcha!
I read that he planned to go with the Latin but in the heat of the moment came out with: 'Freedom' and 'The South Shall be Free'.
Sic semper tyrranis
Americans love your observations.
"Tyrants" lol the guy trying to abolish slavery is labeled as a tyrant. Go figure
Indeed!
Well if you genuinly look in to Lincoln he was actually fairly tyrannical for president. I dont really have sympathies towards confederacy or anything, but its like Lincoln even though is going to do some good although he likely himself didnt really care about blacks all that much means he was all good.
HuR dUr hE wUz aGaiNsT SlAvErY sO he iZ goOd. My miSiNfoRmeD LibErAl teAcHeR saiD So.
The thing of it is, Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in border and neutral states. Not in the actual south.
Nice shot

"whoops my bad"
He said god bless America i promise lol
Sic semper tyrannus
Which is translated to "thus be unto tyrants"
Semper literally means "always"...or more in the latin spirit "forever".
@@chickenlover657 you oughta let the various latin scholars to make up their alledged minds. That they should really square the meaning away on the famous phrase
As I have heard more clear different interpretations of this quotable notation.
Seems a bit. Loose and unwieldy and is kind of. All over the road. You would think that such a. Well known and impactful phrase would have it's literal translation how shall I say. ... Nailed to the floor. Considering it's only been 2 mellinium since the. Alleged Original epitaph . And. Let alone all the. Pomp and pride of collective academia the lexicon. Is always so fiercely defending the exactitude with which. Language is categorized and spoken yet that is a touch ironic. Seeing as how all language at some point was made up and for lack of a better term improvised. A spoken. Term for all the multitudes of things and situations. That are seen.
But to. . Conclude the freedom of speech and now on the internet. Has spawned brand new words this is. Someth can all just draft off of and create our own words in addition to what is already existing. even words that are spoken and sort of like a a conglomeration of different words of a composite word that's not real and sounds like gibberish possibly could become actual verbal devices. Adding a prefix or suffix. The only word I know will never come into being is
" Irregardless"
Try as though they might make such come to pass
there was an accident network of various people throughout the social status and all around that assisted and we're compass to John Wilkes Booth in the assassination of Lincoln seems a bitthat somebody who was an actor and like celebrity would end up dying in obscurity which is been recently suggested of John Wilkes Booth that there was a doppelganger corpse taken from the barn when they shot him and also why did everybody just accept the fact that they shot John Wilkes Booth immediately as everyone would demand that he be brought back alive to face justice
@@WeAreNotAmused Next time, try not to copy paste so much bs you yourself don't even understand. Latin is not some mystical, unknown language. It is and has been well studied in academia and wider for centuries. It has been used as an official language of the church for millenia. So much so that even a simple google search will tell you what any word means. If you know what to google, of course. Which apparently you do not.

Funny, I said the same about a certain orange clown.
I said the same thing to your mother who forgot to abort your dumbazz!
I wonder what backroom stuff Lincoln was up to that required him to be assassinated. I'm sure abolishing slavery wasn't the only reason for his death, at least when in comes to political murders. I think it's a worthy subject to look into.
"abolishing slavery" was pretty far down the list of why he was assassinated...look into it and don't be intellectually lazy when you do
Yeah, freeing everyones "property " will get you shot for sure. Imagine the money they lost in their eyes someone had to pay for that so why not the one who made it happen. It's a darn shame they did him like that.
The killer was an absolute hater of blacks and thought they should remain slaves. He didn’t murder Lincoln for your implied dark doings. He assassinated the President out of hatred. It’s what the kidnappings were about as well.
Sic semper Tyrannosaurus!
