John Harvey Kellogg is singularly responsible for so much of what we think we know about diet and health. However, like many 1800s doctors, he had some rather 1800s ideas.

    There was a cairn or cenotaph dedicated to "hy jolly" on property i lived on in shingletown, shasta county, ca, in the mid to late 90s. It was at the southeast corner of Linda Road and Sites Rd...in the trees, about 48" high faced in stone with a small plaque and statue. Wish i could remember exactly what the plaque said but i was like 11 or 12 years old.

    coming in post bruen and post cargill v garland to say that the supreme court utterly disagrees with this video and the interpretations you gave about the 2nd amendment. guns are an individual right historically and now solidified legally, and the plain text cannot be interpreted in regards to public safety or any other bs gun grabbers want you to believe, also we are on the cusp of the nfa getting challenged as that was most likely unconstitional when it was passed. which means its a ticking timer for the GCA as well

    Hey just wanted to let you know (as if you read every single comment) after watching this video I started rethinking my reliance on caffeine and as a new years promise I swore off the mountain dew that I was drinking and while I didn't stop drinking caffeine I only allow myself 1 caffeinated drink per day. The headaches I got in the first week were pretty bad but lately I've barely been getting any headaches at all, I really miss the flavor of mountain dew and had an emotional dependency on it if not physical, but I'm still glad I did and I'm not planning on quitting soon. Thank you

    I have a question that no other history channel seems to answer for me satisfactorily. Were any sort of rudimentary voice recording systems in place in the 19th century? People all seem to have the same basic impression of President Lincoln but I’ve never actually heard a recording of what his voice was actually supposed to sound like. Does something like that exist? Or am I just crazy?

    It seems really weird that three separate troop types that are very specifically supposed to work together in unison were once considered separate military branches. But then again, the Air Force used to handle space together with the Navy (which has it's own air force), and itself used to be a branch of the Army... You know what, maybe I'm overthinking how weird it is to have your cavalry, artillery, and infantry acting as independent branches.

    so when i was in the 3rd grade I tested as gifted and my parents were thrilled when they heard...at the time I didnt think it a big deal: being a Black kid and this was coming from military funded schools, plus my brother and sister were both doing extra-curricular stuff...i stayed in "gifted class" until the 8th grade and had moved several times so it was always a version of diverse it seemed...until i came into "AP classes" when I was in HS....in Alabama...and then it became VERY apparent that my being there was the exception...suddenly while other kids were toiling away in basics I was getting to watch Shakespeare in open air renditions and watching right-wing politicians try to act like they understood me...thats when i really got it...graduation couldnt come quick enough

      What? Pocahontas wouldn't be smiling over strife and suffering. This also has nothing to do with Europe, rather that the United States committed gross atrocities it has yet to make amends for by returning our national borders, separate and free from the united states nation.
