Berea College has, since its founding, offered a tuition free education to students in need. It still does. It is currently the only selective private liberal arts college that only accepts students in financial need. During the 19th and early 20th century it also offered the "foundation school". Schools in rural areas often only went up to eighth grade. Students could apply to the Foundation School and if accepted, could complete their high school education at Berea. My grandmother was born in rural Eastern Kentucky. She wanted a high school education, so she got very good grades in her one-room school, collected letters of recommendation from people in town, and was proud to be accepted into the Foundation School at Berea College. She left home at the age of fifteen with two dresses and two dollars to take the train to Berea to live and study at the college during the school year. She took classes half a day and worked in the laundry half a day because the school ethos was that one didn't appreciate something one didn't work for. She took one semester of college after graduating high school, and went back home to teach in one-room schools. She was nineteen and taught 30 or more students in eight grades in a building with no indoor plumbing and a coal stove for heat. In 1940. After she married she and my grandfather moved to Ohio. My grandfather had a heart attack fairly young and my grandmother was the primary breadwinner for most of their marriage. She taught school, raised my mom and took in her own sister and brother (so they could get an education) and went to college herself at night to finally earn a bachelor's degree in her 40s. When her father died she took in her mother and cared for her for 30 years. My grandmother passed away last year at the age of 100. The mayor of our town spoke at her funeral. He was one of her former students. Kentucky breeds some remarkable people.
Your family sounds amazing from a fellow Kentuckian my family has fought in every war the US has been in I even had a great uncle that died in the Alamo Joseph Rutherford
It has happened multiple times in history! There are stories of soldiers in ww2 and other wars being save because of something in their pockets, under there armor, or in their helmets!
There's a story of one of a Confederate captain that had that happen and carried the piece w him for luck. They found the piece when the Hunley was resurfaced which was one if the ways they confirmed his remains.
Btw, I have an uncle and a cousin that went to Berea. Small college on a hill that owns the town. If you go, you work off your tuition instead of paying for tuition. Nice area.
Check out Teddy Roosevelt. Guy got shot in the chest, the bullet hit his glasses case and speech folded up in his pocket. He finished his speech and then they got him to the hospital. Famous speech for the line, "It takes more than that to stop a bull moose."
The same shit happened to Teddy Roosevelt, but it was his speech, it did break the skin but it didn't go into his lung or heart. He didn't go to the hospital after getting shot but did go out and give his speech. He spoke for almost an hour.
Sad that Cassius Clay changed his name to Muhammad Ali. His mama gave him a great name. I wonder if he understood the real backstory would he have done it?
Well, one of the reasons he gave for changing his name was that it was his "slave name." So he either didn't understand the backstory or he didn't give a damn about it.
From what I remember of school, Abraham Lincoln hated slavery but he only wanted to curb it. He had no intention of ending it. The civil war started anyway, which gave him an opportunity to push for slavery’s end. But his main goal was to keep the US actually United. He 100% would’ve preserved slavery if the war ended. The emancipation proclamation was something he wanted to sign, but he thought it was politically toxic because at the time, the north was losing. It wasn’t until the victory at Gettysburg that he felt comfortable enough to sign it. The emancipation proclamation only freed the slaves in the confederacy. There were slave areas that stayed with the union (which is why Virginia got split into West Virginia and Virginia) and those slaves were not freed by the emancipation proclamation. They had to wait until the 13th amendment.
It’s unreal to me how he knows that isn’t common knowledge and he tells it in such a way that he keeps you interested and wanting more enjoy you guys a lot keep up the good work
So, the thing with the Emancipation proclamation is that it was mostly a political move more than a functional end to slavery. There was the huge issue that the Union seemed the be in a stalemate with the Confederacy, possibly even losing in in the year leading up to the proclamation. The confederacy was making a great showing of itself marching, and even with the threat of Russia, English diplomats were found on Confederate ships, and both England and France were considering recognizing the Confederacy as an independent state, which would have had devastating implications for the Union on the world stage. Lincoln was so hesitant to sign the Proclamation because he was in a position of weakness, such a move only has any legitimacy behind it if everyone thinks you have the power to do, and with Lee looking to march on D.C., It would have seemed like Lincoln was grasping at straws. Secondly, since the beginning of the war, Lincoln had been insistent to the people of the Union that the war was a War to preserve the Union, and while many of the common people of the north didn't support slavery, they didn't care about ending it, at least not enough to fight a war about it. In fact, after making the Emancipation Proclamation, desertion actually became such a problem that he had to sign Proclamation 124 several years later, which was a blanket pardon to all Union deserters who turned themselves in within a certain timeframe, because the courts would have been so bogged down in trials that it would have been a legitimate issue. The statement that Cassius clay ''bullied'' Lincoln is an exaggeration, but tangentially true. at the time, Lincoln was downright desperate for generals that were skilled, willing, and most importantly, actually competent. I don't remember the exact number off the top of my head and don't feel like researching it at the moment, but since the beginning of the war, Lincoln had burned through at least 5 or 6 generals who were either cowardly or incompetent. But saying that it was Cassius alone takes away from the other people behind it, one of the people at the forefront of pushing for the Emancipation proclamation was Fredrick Douglass, who was doing his best impression of a gadfly, functionally pestering Lincoln to make the Proclamation every other day. In the end, the victory at Antietam was the catalyst for the decision to make the proclamation, this was functionally the last battle of the Confederacy's first invasion of the North, The Union showed that it had the teeth to back its bark. Common misconception is that The Emancipation proclamation happened because of the battle of Gettysburg, which is what I originally wrote until I remembered that the Proclamation was in 1862 and Gettysburg was in 1863, following the battle of Antietam that was sometime mid 1861 If I remember correctly. In the end, the proclamation was mainly to get England and France to back off and they could argue before that the rebellion is legitimate, whereas after the proclamation they would have been seen as defending slavery if the supported the Confederacy. Unfortunately, the Proclamation only affected any states in active declared rebellion, all slaves in the north were still slaves, and slavery itself wouldn't be declared illegal until after Lincolns assassination with the 13th amendment, and African Americans wouldn't be equal citizens or have the right to vote until the 14th and 15th amendments respectfully. Sorry for the lecture, thanks for reading, anyone have questions. And keep in mind I didn't actually fact check myself, I'm too tired at the time of writing this and I'm immediately going to sleep after this, feel free to criticize me if you wish.
Henry Clay, the cousin lawyer, was a giant in the U.S. senate endlessly trying to solve "the issue" congress kept trying to kick to some future time, slavery. His debates on the floor with Sen. James Calhoun are legendary as are those of Sen. Daniel Webster. These men are considered the political giants of their time more influential than the president.
A little more to this story: his home in White Hall still stands today and is a field trip destination for most schools in the state. And the college founded by Fee (Berea College) is still operational today and is a tuition free college also considered the #1 folk arts and crafts in the south at 1 point. I know this because I've spent the majority of my life in Berea and my son still goes to high school in Berea.
Cassius Clay was a major general that’s not the highest rank Lincoln was waiting for a major victory to sign the emancipation proclamation like the fat electrician said he was forced to sign it before he wanted to
I live in Berea and my girlfriend works at Berea College, we live about 20 miles from Whitehall, it’s a state historic site and museum. Berea College itself has a really interesting history. It was the first non-segregated and coed college in the south and was only forced into segregation in 1904 by state law until the 1950 repeal.
I think they used to hang knives from a strip of leather around their neck which left the knife hanging in the middle of their chest. Let me know if I'm wrong please 😮
Well, APPEARANTLY that was NOT reasonable, A LOT of people do not know that slavery was SUPPOSED to end after we won the Revolutionary war, you see, WHEN the delegates from the 13 colonies sat down to draft the Declaration of Independance, there was language put in it that would lay the foundation for the freeing of the slaves upon our victory, but for some reason it was removed from the final draft of the document, but before ALL of the delegates signed the Declaration, it was agreed among all of them that at that time, since the colonies had already been in ARMED and open rebellion against the crown for more than a year, and they ALL hated England so much, that they wanted the new country to not have ANY remaining vestigages from Great Britain, and since it was King William the 1st, who approved slavery in the colonies, all of the delegates decided that it had to be done away with as soon as they won the war, and a Constitution was written up for a basis for our laws and rights, BUT AFTER our Victory at Yorktown, the slave owners collectively decided that they were not going to give up their "PROPERTY" and backed out of the deal, now of course this was NOT TRUE for all slave owners, during the Constitutional Convention, 2 major political parties emerged from the deliberation of the documents, first you had the Anti-Federalists, who right after ratification became the Democratic Republican party, and in 1829, they rebranded themselves as the Democratic party till 1924 when they again rebranded themselves as the Democrat party, then you had the Federalist party, till 1924 when they had internal problems, because many of them were frustrated by the ineffectuality of the Federalist leaders to convince the Democratic Republicans to stand by their word and promise from 1776 and free their slaves and end the barbaric practice, and reorganized as the WHIG party, now the WHIG party was a stronger organization than the federalists were, and as they got busy trying to put an end to the abomination of slavery, the Democratic Republicans decided to give them more than 1 problem to deal with, so they began to CONQUER and MURDER the Native american tribes and nations over the objections of the WHIG party, so the WHIG party's attentions were divided between the 2 attrocities being done by the Democratic Republicans, and during this time, they dropped off the Republican name and just became the Democratic party, after almost 30 years of the Democratic party waging the Indian wars and slaughters, a new group of men within the WHIG party was so disaffected by the inability of their leadership to deal with both of those problems, that they split the party in half, John C. Freemont and Abraham Lincoln created the Republican party that we know today in 1854, during the 1856 election cycle, John C. Freemont as the Republican candidate, nearly won the election but the Democratic incumbant won a very narrow victory, and what was left of the WHIG party failed to secure even a single electoral vote, and as we all know in 1860 Abraham Lincoln became the first Republican President of our country, and the Democratic party was so angry, they started seceeding from the United States and created the C.S.A. and started the Civil War when they attacked Fort Sumpter just days after Abraham Lincoln was sworn in as President, NOW, all of the former slave owners who decided to be Federalists, DID in fact free their slaves, but what they did not know, was that the Democratic Republicans had already hired bounty hunters, to capture them and transport them to the southern states so they could sell them into slavery again, but a few of the former slave owners heard about this happening, and because it took longer for them to return home after the Constitution was ratified, took measures to protect their former slaves, George Washington, upon returning to Mount Vernon, gathered his slaves together and informed them that he was granting them their freedom, BUT he wanted to HIRE them as employees to keep working his land, in this way he could protect them from being kidnapped and taken south, so while up till that moment, he was a slave owner, then he was just an employer and business man who had a work force for his crops, when he departed to Washington D.C. to become our first President his employees kept things going at mount vernon till he returned home for good, i do believe that there was 4 or 5 other founding fathers who were federalists who did the same thing as Washington did, but the ones who decided to become Anti-Federalists, then Democratic Republicans, obviously did not do what they promised to do, although Thomas Jefferson (DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN) when he became our 3rd President, DID pass the the slavery importation act, putting an end to the slave triangle, and preventing the importation of any new slaves, it was much too little and far too late, as slave owners already had in place a breeding program, they had no need to import any new slaves, why buy new slaves when you can force breed the numbers that you will need and they are free? but by ending the Importation of new slaves, they would also have total control over the population of their slaves, as they were aware that they could never allow the population to get too big, allowing that to happen would undoubetely be fatal to them.
The Emancipation Proclamation is so poorly understood. It is not what ended slavery; the President didn't have the authority to do that even if he'd wanted to. He was President, not some kind of emperor. Ending slavery required a constitutional amendment (which ended up being the 13th). The Emancipation Proclamation was a strategic move that (marginally) increased the Union's advantage in the war, by applying the age old "spoils of war" principle in a novel way that turned a liability into an asset. Specifically, it allowed union troops, when they took control of an area, to set any captured slaves free (rather than holding them in a POW camp), which would otherwise have been a violation of fugitive slave laws. It was a good thing, but it did not end slavery, nor was it intended to do so.
Y'all need a bada$$? Check out a guy named DiWiatt. Dude luved him some war. Survived being shot multiple times, lost a limb, lost an eye, not once but twice walked away from plane crashes. Seriously, he's the blueprint for soldier.
It’s pretty wild how it’s basically a ghost town up there now. Pretty much no food court, almost no shops besides the big chains on the ends… Really a stark difference from when it was built/remodeled back in the day. That used to be the place to be.
I know this probably isnt the video to comment this on but you should check yumi's album lost. Its pretty good for a youtubers music. Btw yumi plays with soup and dooo and all them
It wasnt destiny being on Cassius Clays side that saved him from that bullet, it was God and the common sense of never leaving home without a good fixed blade knife.

Cassius Clay had an unbreakable will, a fire in his heart, and giant balls of steel. Surprised he could walk.
😂 Probably had a wheelbarrow!
Also, he had a tremendous hatred of white people, especially Jews. He specifically called mixed race people mongrels.

The bullet getting stopped has happened twice that I know of.
Once with Cassius Clay, and once with Teddy Roosevelt.
I guess it just wasn’t their time. They still had stuff to do.
except Teddy's was the notes to his speech.
It has happened multiple times in history! There are stories of soldiers in ww2 and other wars being save because of something in their pockets, under there armor, or in their helmets!

12:15 You have to remember that voting required you to be property owning males aged 18 or older. Clay seriously could have decimated the voter polls.
The Fat Electrician quickly became one of my favorite channels. Dude is a TH-cam gangsta! Nobody is topping his storytelling.

All Muslim converts change names as they must erase all history of their Infidel past. Just like the DNC and slavery/KKK
Well, one of the reasons he gave for changing his name was that it was his "slave name." So he either didn't understand the backstory or he didn't give a damn about it.
@@klbearsfan1254, he was an arrogant asshole. Good friend of my dad's grew up with him in Louisville and said he was a pure jerk.
Sad to say but I believe he changed his name and religion to avoid the draft..
Dude straight up changed his name from the greatest abolitionist of all time to that of a pedophile slave owner. Gave himself a massive L.

You guys should have kept watching for the post-credits clip. TOTALLY AWESOME ENDING!!!!
Something similar happened to Teddy Roosevelt. His speech was so thick it stopped a bullet.
Actually attended Berea College in the early 1990's. It is an interesting place and consistently ranked among the top small colleges in the country
One of my favorite stories
FYI , TFE always at the very very end of his vids after it goes to his Hazard sign he leaves a Easter Egg,and its always hilarious 😂, great reaction
I love TFE and am happy to see you guys react to him.
The Clay family big in Va, WV and KY.
just dropping a coment in sopourt sad to hear your going through troubles hope the best for you guys
The thing with an object catching a bullet actually happened to Frederick the Great of Prussia with his snorting tobacco box.
I just got to your channel 6mo after you posted this reaction. Love TFE. Looking at some of your other videos now.
🙏🙏🙏🙏

Appreciate you being here with us! We’ll have more content coming out towards the end of summer, stay tuned! 🙏🏼
What? Doesn't everybody have a home defense cannon? Oh, just me.
God gave Cassius Clay all the plot armor

Because it wasn't another country. That was the entire point of the Civil War.
There's only one thing to say... WOW. Too bad history has forgotten him. The first and only person I knew as Cassius Clay was Mohamed Ali.

Also since your from Casper, what do you think of the mall being basically derelict
It’s pretty wild how it’s basically a ghost town up there now. Pretty much no food court, almost no shops besides the big chains on the ends… Really a stark difference from when it was built/remodeled back in the day. That used to be the place to be.
I'm from Wyoming but I moved when I was a bit younger, people outside the state don't think it's real🤣
Happy To See you Boys ! #NotificationGang ☁☁
Dang, this video is epic!
Greetings from Douglas
Hello from Casper! 👋🏼
I know this probably isnt the video to comment this on but you should check yumi's album lost. Its pretty good for a youtubers music. Btw yumi plays with soup and dooo and all them
I work as a high school educator (special education). Cassius Marcellus Clay isn't covered. You probably never heard of him in school.
Why does the guy on the left have something white hanging out of his nose?
It’s his nose ring. It’s reflecting weirdly in the light I think.😅
Check out TR assassination attempt
Cassius Clay his entire life is vince McMahon theam music lmao u got no chance..... no chance in hell
Boysen is right by Douglas.
Well this brought up a memory. I was wrong in this comment. Boysen is south of thermopolis and west of Casper. I was thinking of glendo by Douglas. 🤣
You guys need a spot on Unsubscribe Podcast…
We would absolutely love to be featured on an episode, that’d be amazing!
So, basically, a raging dumpster fire?
It wasnt destiny being on Cassius Clays side that saved him from that bullet, it was God and the common sense of never leaving home without a good fixed blade knife.
Cash us.
