While I encourage people to connect the past and present- it is a fundamental reason to study history- please remember that this is not a channel about politics.

I would have also included the Los Angeles Zoot Suit Riot of 1943, perhaps as a companion to the Straw Hat riots, as they were both clothing-related.

You would learn more about history in one week of watching this channel in school. than you do in a whole year of the way history is taught in school.

You really explain history well! Thank you! Great real stories from the past.

Thanks for the insight into the rougher side of Toronto's history! I've had connections with the city for over 40 years but never heard about the Circus Riot...

My great-great grandfather, a German immigrant and resident of New York City, William Peter Eyring, enlisted in the 66th NY Regiment (II Corps, 1st Division, 3rd Brigade) in the Army of the Potomac on 11/14/1861. He fought in many battles, including Seven Days, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Wilderness Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor (where he was wounded), Petersburg, and the Appomattox Campaign.
From July to September 1862, he was a POW in Richmond. During the New York City draft riots, Eyring and his regiment were pursuing Lee’s Army after the Battle of Gettysburg. On December 19, 1863, he re-enlisted. On August 30, 1865, he was honorably discharged with the rank of 2nd sergeant. He died in 1916. (This is based on research done by my cousin)

America has a past that should NEVER be forgotten [ or “changed/altered”]. There are GREAT moments, and Very Bad moments.
There have be Great works and horrible works.
THIS should make us Better as a people, LEARNING from our past, both good and bad.

AS along time Arlington, TX resident I do remember those 2 games and the 10 cent beer nights! Good times indeed!

skiphill

Who could forget Cleveland's "Mistake by the Lake". I had forgotten the details of that night, thanks for the refresher!

While 10 cent beer night is certainly worthy of it's place on this list, equally worthy of a spot is the story of Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park in July 1979. I'd love to see a THG video on that. Great channel, keep up the good work!

While thousands of Union Soldiers were dying for (amongst other things) the abolition of slavery in New York they were lynching Black people, very sad and shameful.
