The only argument I got with the video is that you make it seem that Powell was chained out of spite. He was an unruly prisoner and was a very powerful man and it took many guards to subdue when he got fiesty. So they shackled him, hand and foot. Also it took 30 minutes for him to die because he strangled instead of the drop breaking his neck because of his immense strength.
Enjoyed the video, but just noted one mistake. Powell wasn't captured right away. He hid out for a few days, part of the time in a cemetery, and stole a pick there, showing up at night at Mary Surratt's boarding house for food and shelter. Unfortunately for him the police were there at the same time interviewing Mrs. Surratt.
after we became a prisoner of war the first time it says he lived with a nurse. did he escape with the nurse's help? i thought maybe the war had ended, but he later captured and escorted a union soldier to a confederate prison so it sounds like the war wasn't over. and then he deeserted? and where's the nurse who took him in? he doesn't seem like most stable character. though maybe keeping a skull was a clue too. maybe the kick to his jaw changed his brain? it sounds like the accident made his whole family move
Boothe’s brother was the most famous actor in the country at the time. All kinds of cool shit behind a horrible assassination. That didn’t sound right but you get my point… 🤷♂️
I'd feel bad if he was remembered as the federalist he was. But until man gets recognized for what he is, a racist federalist, I'll be happy that Green Day performed Brain Stew at the Ford Theatre on April 14th 1865

Some of the photos make him look modern time, not all those years ago.
Those old glass plates had great resolution and if the photographer had premium quality lenses, the photos could be amazingly clear.
Like sixties and early seventies album covers.
Yes , he looked like a model.
He was a good looking man. Today he could of been a model or a movie star with a face like that.
I agree. He was very goodlooking.
Norman Rheedus played him in The Conspirator. Hated to see Norman hanged!
Razorfist has a good video about Lincoln that basically makes what Powell did heroic.
Smithsonian had his skull for years before it was returned to his family. Buried it in Geneva, Florida.

No tears were shed for Louis Powell
Old abe lincoln got what he deserved
One of the worst of the worst of humans among us is a TRAITOR!
God bless Dixie❤

He's buried next to his mother about 45 miles from where I live here in Florida. Well his skull is. They don't know where the rest of his bones are.
45 minutes from where in Florida? I don't think any of know where you live.
In what city do you live? City of the burial site maybe?
I found it, Geneva cemetery in Seminole county Florida
Does it really matter where the rest of his bones are?
@@robertwilliamson922 They were turned into dice and are still being rolled in New Orleans. 💀🎲
How the hell did people live in Florida in the 1800s?
He was an amazing specimen of a young man. The photographs are remarkably like those you would see of a photo shoot of a young model.
I did not know that Powell rode with Mosby.
Great photos
Damn mule should have tried harder.
History the way this top shelf nerd likes it, thank you.
Man, this dude looks out of time like a time displacement.

Lincoln saved his brothers life.
Mrs Siroute (sp?), the boarding house owner, was also hanged, I believe.
“Mary Surratt” was indeed hanged too.
@@lightdweller .Thank you. “Weller” was my mother’s maiden name…she grew up at Poe, Indiana.

Mary's son was an coward, running off leaving his mother to her horrible fate, at least Lewis tried to do something
right before his own execution.
🙁😠
Allegedly
I tend to not trust this channel. Lot of hyperbole and takes unsubstantiated rumor as fact in order to increase drama.
