Enjoyed the video, but just noted one mistake. Powell wasn't captured right away. He hid out for a few days, part of the time in a cemetery, and stole a pick there, showing up at night at Mary Surratt's boarding house for food and shelter. Unfortunately for him the police were there at the same time interviewing Mrs. Surratt.

The only argument I got with the video is that you make it seem that Powell was chained out of spite. He was an unruly prisoner and was a very powerful man and it took many guards to subdue when he got fiesty. So they shackled him, hand and foot. Also it took 30 minutes for him to die because he strangled instead of the drop breaking his neck because of his immense strength.

after we became a prisoner of war the first time it says he lived with a nurse. did he escape with the nurse's help? i thought maybe the war had ended, but he later captured and escorted a union soldier to a confederate prison so it sounds like the war wasn't over. and then he deeserted? and where's the nurse who took him in? he doesn't seem like most stable character. though maybe keeping a skull was a clue too. maybe the kick to his jaw changed his brain? it sounds like the accident made his whole family move

@@macnichol8531 a guy who has countless quotes like "my conscience cannot allow me to say they're equal", "free them and make them equal? I can't in good conscience admit this", "I belong to the superior position, I've never said the contrary" (referring to race), and the Crème de la irony, " if I could PRESERVE THE UNION without freeing a single slave, I would". As well as practicing and preaching for the grotesque practice of centralized government, best shown in his 1832 quote from the house debate "my politics are short and sweet like an old lady's dance. I'm in favor of a national bank, internal improvement systems, and high tariffs". That's what I mean by that man, Abraham Lincoln, is a racist federalist we give way to much credit to. Congress passed the 13th amendment, us states used OUR RIGHTS to free the slaves, something Lincoln, even when he had, what revisionists call though it's a term that didn't fuckin exist til 1941 in 'war powers' to do so and did do so... In lands he didn't freaking control Edit: BTW, all those grotesque quotes come directly from Abe's Ottawa, IL senate debate in 1858. One damned debate. Just 3 years before he was "fighting for slaves freedom", as the revisionists like to put it
