12:30 - Mary Todd Lincoln Held Séances in The White House - I feel so sorry for Mary with all the tragedy she went through. That bit at the end, "Willie Lives. He comes to me every night... with that same sweet, adorable smile..." is just so heart-wrenchingly sad and a heart-felt statement from a grief-stricken mother.

Here's one for you. After Minnie Cox, the first black female postmaster was pressured out of her post in Mississippi, president Theodore Roosevelt continued to pay her salary and punished the town by rerouting their mail 30 miles away until they gave her back the position.

FDR was my favorite president mainly because of his funding and out reach for polio victims. My mother was had polio the year before the vaccine came out and she benefitted from some of his programs. She passed away and we have her medical records from that time. Her parents didn't have to pay a dime for braces, surgeries or rehab treatment.

A case could e made for William Henry Harrison being my favorite president. Why? With a term only lasting 31 days, he didn't really have much time to screw anything up- unlike every other president...

Even though John Quincy Adams was voted out of office, President Andrew Jackson actually did approve Symmes' idea for Polar exploration (just without the ''Hollow Earth" moniker attached to it. It was approved after Symmes passed away and one of his advocates continued to petition congress to go explore the Polar regions in search of these entrances. The expedition ended up being called The United States Exploring Expedition and a large part of the mission was to survey and map the Antarctic. They did not report finding any openings. But then again, they did not have advanced enough ice breaker ships to get all the way into the interior of the continent and reach the South Pole at that point in history.

My high school choir performed during a service at the Washington Cathedral and President and Mrs. Ford were in the congregation. I even drank out of the same wine cup as him (ah, the lack of hygiene in the 70's). I stood about 5 feet from the President while waiting in the communion line. He was seated in the pew and there were only 2 seated people between us. It's surprising how few noticeable secret service agents were there. You could see them "in the wings" and along the walls of the sanctuary, but none along the center aisle. President Ford was the third person in from that aisle. Such a difference from today's world.

[@hollyheikkinen4698]

8:07 I went to school with a guy that only had the letter J as his legal first name & everyone called him Jay, but his name on assignments was just J. He said that his parents used the initial so he could choose his own name later on. I'm pretty sure he's still just using the J (we are in our 50s now).

[@richewilson6394]

The reason why Sammy Davis Jr was such a devoted Republican in a world of Democrats in Hollywood was basically due to how Richard Nixon was so appreciative of him as well as he was able to sit down and have a conversation with him and took Sammy so seriously and was able to help the civil Rights movement more because of that.

Fun fact about Gerald Ford. He's the only President whose child appeared on a soap opera. Steven Ford is a former cast member of The Young And The Restless, playing private investigator Andy Richards.

Gotta go with FDR. Doin what had to be done to pull the country out of the depression, keeping us out of WW 2 for as long as possible while dealing with polio...and still got elected 4 times. Thats always stuck in my mind.

[@bamacopeland4372]

Keeping the United States out of the US is a stretch, sending troops Yes, but sending aid to both Great Britain and Russia no, starting in 1939 a cash and carry was being done to Great Britain, The USSR, and China. March of 1941 it was the lend lease program. For me he's the second, Lincoln would be first.

[@jamilaycock5027]

I got to go to see Clinton speak in 1994 or 95. I was in 5th grade and got overheated and threw up in the middle of the crowd and got to hang out in a VIP section with a couple very nice secret service guys. They even got me Gatorade to feel better. Didn't see him just heard him speaking but still an interesting memory.

He and Mrs Reagan set 5th row center to view it. Besides Secret Service agents they were the only ones in the theater. It true I was working there at the time.

Didn't Nixon create the EPA? I remember reading that somewhere.

[@carenlettofsky3045]

Yes, Nixon did create the EPA. It was after the Cuyahoga River caught on fire (again). {But Cleveland still rocks! Go Browns!}

[@andrewvelonis5940]

Well, he didn't exactly "create" the EPA, Congress passed the Environmental Protection Act, under which the EPA was formed, and Nixon signed it into law.

I like Theodore Roosevelt he was a badass he did everything Yeah and I know there might be some controversial things here and there but he also tried to get Congress to allow them to shorten up words in books so that they could make it easier for everybody to print books faster.

[@rebny7801]

Everyone is a left hander and no one is 100% lefthander, exept people who lost their right hand. What you call a lefthander are people who are at least 51%lefthander and "only" 49% righthander and those are 25% of the world population. Most lefthanderd have trained their right hand skills in a right hand world, so that if they were "only" 60% lefthander at birth they can believe to be righthander at 20 years of age. While it is very rare to see a lefthander that has low capacity with is right hand because the society is righthanded, some righthanderd are so to 90% and feel handicaped with their left hand. Now people who are more 60/40 struggle to believe them. They think it is easy to switch hand.
