  • this aint obviously just it ... theres gotta be more exciting stuff that happened on my birthday

  • Why?

  • They do these nearly every day, and they are great because you do get to remember what kind of a crazy Harvey Keitel looking bastard Andrew Johnson was.

  • I am fully aware of religions role in America...However, it was not until post Civil War when it began to slowly creep into public policy...Had it not been for the Soviet Union launching Sputnik Evolution would probably still be banned from schools. Kinda ironic that we changed our pledge and put "In god We Trust" on our paper currency as a message to the godless Soviets that we were a god fearing nation...Which goes to show our US Constitution is not as strong as it was in the beginning!

  • However if you do read into history religion did have an impact on social movements in American History: the Civil Rights Movement, the Abolitionists. You'll be suprised that religion has an impact on American Social history.

  • they always do day in history videos, once a week, I think. Yes, it is very interesting.

  • Impeach Obama & Co.!

  • I agree...I love reading about history especially American history...If more people actually knew American history we there would be more respect for seperation of church and state, women's rights and the struggle they still have to be equal, the struggle African Americans have to be equal, the sad story of the Indians, and in general would have a better understanding what it really means to be a proud American...Oh yeah, and people would know why the Boston Tea Party actually took place! LOL!

  • I don't know if you guys upload this sort of "day in history" videos frequently, but I find it very interesting and hope to see more!
