If we were to ask you to list a few things about former U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, it’s likely that many of you would mention things like his role in the abolition of slavery in the U.S., his assassination, his hat and beard (which incidentally the latter was grown because a little girl suggesting he’d get more votes that way), or the Gettysburg Address. But on top of all that, as with George Washington before him and the legendary Teddy Roosevelt after, it turns out Lincoln was also an exceptional, near unbeatable fighter who in his younger years would throw down with anyone who felt like they were man enough.

A constitution which allows bits of a country to separate willy nilly is just a joke, and the whole of America would have ended up a joke.

@@fastinradfordable nope. Lincoln fights were also "fake". The Chokeslam (which was his finisher) and The Suplex both have one thing in common: they are impossible to do to a resisting opponent, as they require the opponent to do most of the work.

[@lalli8152]

@@shanytopper2422 Suplex is completely normal actual wrestling take down. Both in greco-roman, and freestyle the modern olympic wrestling styles suplex is sort of bread, and butter move. Its easy to do, and its type of throws that earns you highest score. I think the highest score throws simply are that your opponents legs are above your head during the slam. Suplex also is absolutely devastating outside softer surfaces if you would end up in actual fight, and you are wrestler. Also something like super bomb would smash people, and end the fight.

I believe the “Rail” in Rail splitter refers to Fence Rails and has nothing to do with railroad ties .

[@chloekaftan]

its also entirely possible that the railroad tie abe split in half was rotten to the core, or that it was a sapwood or heart which is very brittle even when its not rotten and splits very easily when soaked with fresh water/rain (which is the main reason many museum cutters, schooners, and clippers rot very quickly, since theyre often moved to freshwater basins prior to being lifted out, wooden ships hate being away from the sea and will rot very quickly as a result), most railroad ties of that era was made with wood of low quality or off cuts of larger logs, high quality timber like teak, purple heart, white oak, fir, spruce, or live oak was typically reserved for classic shipbuilding.

[@jkg6211]

If it was a fence railing - made from the most common wood at the time for that purpose, Locust - it would have been a true feat of strength indeed. Locust is notoriously strong, hard to cut, OR split - hence the very reason it was used for that purpose. And it was not only plentiful, but grows fast - so quite rapidly renewable. And left with it's bark on - a perfect cattle fence... large, long tough thorns - not only on the limbs, but all over the trunk as well.

[@captainamerica6525]

Karl Smallwood is one of the authors of this video. Over on his own channel, Fact Fiend, he has since used the phrase “realized he wasn’t the big buck of this lick” in passing with no explanation.

[@judyoger]

Lincoln's father often hired him out as labor, as you know. He built "colonial split rail fences", they were composed of long pieces of split logs interlocking and stacked and angled to form a fence for a paddock for animals, or to mark property lines. When he made the run from Salem down the Mississippi to New Orleans, he was working with Alan Gentry, a distant kin of mine. Love all your channels Simon keep them coming, nice work Danny.

[@judyoger]

@Matt Stafford I don't know if any are still in existence. The times his father hired him out were mostly in Indiana. Though he did build a few in Macon County at the new farm/homestead of his father; and near New Salem, for extra work from his duties of running the store. In Illinois many species of indigenous trees would have held up to time, though I am not sure of infestation of insects, given imports from other states and countries.

[@hakeemfullerton8645]

I really wish there was an alternate history where Teddy Roosevelt took on Abraham Lincoln in a fist fight inside of a wrestling ring

So Lincoln hit the Confederacy with a rock bottom picking up the victory for the North. He was then celebrating in the ring until John Wilkes Booth hit the ring with the ultimate heel move, the stone cold bullet.

He won as “The Railsplitter” candidate, a nickname acquired the previous May when Illinois Republicans convened at Decatur to endorse a favorite son for president. The “rail” was not a railroad tie (the wooden part of a rail road) but the rail of a split rail fence.

Crotch Lock. aka Cow chain, aka High crotch toss. Starting from the down position, Blue on top Red on Bottom. Blue sweeps Reds arm into Reds crotch while Blue simultaneously grasps the wrist of Reds arm by reaching from behind and between the legs of Red at the crotch. This isolates the arm between the legs and takes away a posting arm of support and balance. The Red Opponent is Pushed forward against the folded shoulder onto the ground. The Toss is initiated when Red is lifted by their own arm facing away from Blue. Reds arm is Pulled through their legs and used as leverage for Blue to throw Red Forward and Head over Heel onto the ground on their back. . If done correctly to an unsuspecting opponent it can result in appearing as if Blue just stood up from behind Red and unrolled him on his back from shoulder height like a carpet while still holding Reds wrist. I can imagine it would be devastating on hard ground. It will knock the breath out of ya on a mat. XD

'know what, I have a viewer question today. On most sweepstakes contests here in Canada, and in the US, on the contest rules there is the phrase "NO PURCHASE NECESSARY". The phrase is still there even if you can only enter the contest by buying something like a cup of coffee, or if you have to buy your entry directly. When, clearly, a purchase is necessary to enter the contest. What does the phrase "No purchase necessary" legally mean, and why do the contest organizers need to say it?

[@rabidfurify]

I believe that legally speaking the company arranging the competition has to allow for entries through alternate means than a purchase, this will be stipulated in the competition rules but usually is done by sending a letter with return postage included, and is typically restricted to a fixed number of entries per household.
