The only reason the cars only came in black. That was because they did research and found out Black dried the fastest. They needed the speed to keep up with the assembly line.

So that’s why we learned how to square dance in elementary school gym

2008-2012 Ohio the gym teacher retired and the new one did not teach square dancing

I love clicking on infographics and the new vid is not a giant, repetitive compilation or another geopolitical video.

Honestly most businessmen of those times were shady. With the exception of Milton Hersey that is. The guy even refused to lay off a single worker during the great depression.

17:07 Ford wasn’t the first American auto manufacturer. Oldsmobile was.

I was taught to square dance in elementary school. Yes it was long ago. Having been in 5th grade in 75-76.
7th grade got us the Hustle.
Thankfully it ended there.

Yall need to look into fordlandia. He burned so much to try and have an American city out in the Amazon but failed. Much of the land hasn’t recovered since

As someone who works at a Ford dealership, this is crazy disturbing. I'll never see the "service" department the same 😮

[KitSunZoro]

Could have mentioned how he treated his son. If he bullied his own kid until he died, no one stood a stance.

Ford was deeply impressed at how Germany had restored her strength and national pride from being a broken, despondent, weak nation struggling with the degeneracy of the Weimar era in the 1920s.

I can't really blame him for that.

[Bummerdrummer]

I grew up in the small village where Henry Ford's real house was secretly hidden and square dancing was mandated. 😂

[Intifada]

I hate square dancing. It doesn't even involve squares 😒

[unknownt]

What he did to the natives in the amazon jungle was insane! They still suffer the consequences today

[kalvinlawrence]

Didn't the African American community invent Jazz ?

[Historyandlegends]

So Henry ford was why I was forced to play the female partner in elementary school and got teased mercilessly for it.

A "liquor free square dancing club" sounds just awful in every single way possible 🤢👎

[DylanWolfram]

Being from Michignan, it’s really crazy how much we were never taught about Gerald Ford

[Mario-ooy]

It wasn't a lie then, just like it's not a lie now. Ford was a great man, and so was Walt Disney.

Ol’ Hank would have just loved Rock and Roll 🎸 😂

I always said: In WW2 there were no good guys. Bad guys fighting bad guys at the expense of the general population.
