Love how knowledgeable you are of history. More Americans and frankly people of other nations need to know their history

[@scottrule480]

Nic's entire channel is worth the deep dive. But from your comments here, I think you'd really like "Angry Old Veteran vs. 700 Redcoats - Samuel Whittemore".

[@TheShiskebob]

Yes, I agree that this one must be next.

[@thelion7210]

That was a dope video!

[@ZoneXV]

Nic (The Fat Electrician) is actually going back to school to get a degree in history at the moment. He favorite hobby is debating with pro-communism college students LOL. He has so many good videos about not just history but military history as well. He's on a cool podcast as well called Unsubscribed which is where you get to learn more about him.

[@Hayseo]

I am from Kentucky. So I will drop some info for you. The oath of office for any state official includes the phrase, “I affirm that I have never fought a duel“. The people in attendance always chuckle when this is said. I guess it was Cassius Clay that made this phrase necessary to be included in the oath of office.

[@marcbennett9232]

you are one of my favorite reactors and the fat electrician is one of my favorite content creators. win win!

[@tylerwest4756]

If that isn’t the best advertisement for the Bowie Knife I don’t know what is

[@Wearywastrel]

As a knife aficionado, in those days you didn't need advertising, the Bowie knife was THE best knife in existence for two decades before, and at least five decades after the civil war. If you can find one from that era in good condition it would be worth a lot of money.

[@leojamesclune1730]

There are few knives that have such a history and name recognition as the Bowie. Personally, i bought a Ka-Bar because of its history. ​@Wearywastrel

[@BucketOfFail]

I love how Nic (The Fat Electrician) teaches anyone who wants to listen about history we were never taught in school. History that a lot of the time we probably wouldn't be allowed to be taught now.

[@kayr6813]

I will watch every single one of your fat electrician videos.

[@gkiferonhs]

The Fat Electrician is an excellent writer, a superlative story-teller and a thorough historian. You can't go wrong with his videos.

[@Myjacob99]

Cassius clay is like disagree with me at your own peril

[@michaelfranciotti3900]

The fact that Muhammed Ali changed his name because he considered Cassius Clay his "slave name" is an overdose of irony.

[@ryangephardt22]

The real irony is that he is related to the original. But still changed his name.

[@DavidRichardson153]

I don't remember where I learned this, but someone pointed out that Muhammed Ali's original name was Cassius Clay _Junior._ It was his father, Cassius Clay Senior, who was actually named after the man. Clay Senior's father, Ali's grandfather, was one of the slaves who was owned by and then freed by Cassius Marcellus Clay, who, as TFE said, also gave him, along with the other slaves, what can only be described as a golden severance package. That man would go on to name his future son "Cassius Clay" to honor his liberator (the "senior" would come later with his son's, Junior's, birth).

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

I love watching my fav history nerd watching my fav history teacher. FYI Nick almost always has a joke at the end of his videos after he turns the lights off. You gotta stick around for a couple more seconds. 🙂

You need to watch more videos from Fat Electrician!!!!!!!!!!

[@_Bucky]

I love history too and this is quite interesting and unheard from what you learn in regular school curriculum studies. Also a gun safe in the background of your videos would be awesome

[@Kaijugan]

The whereabouts of Cassius Clay’s pistols are unfortunately unknown, but damn if that wouldn’t be an awesome Civil War Museum piece! Am I right?

[@itsallconspiracy2035]

I'm so happy to see this bro!! Such a bad ass video. You're the man! 👍🦾🫡

[@randallshuck2976]

I like both of your channels. If you haven't seen them you might enjoy Fat Electricians discussion of unintended consequences in his presentation of "US Ice Cream Ships" or "1.5 Billion Pounds of Government Cheese". Good reaction to this one. I think you are one of the only reactors who knew who Cassius Clay actually was. I was aware of him because when the fighter, Cassius Clay, changed his name my Grandpa, who was born in 1892, thought it was disrespectful and would rant for hours every time there was a fight.

[@toddervin6479]

The Fat Electrician is the best channel to learn from. I love History and he tells stories that nobody talks about.

If you use the gun safe as part of your background you can call it studio decor and write it off.

I love The Fat Electrician and seeing others react to his amazing videos. You mentioned his backdrop. In TFE's newer videos you'll see a couch that from time to time will have a new gun or item appear. According to TFE those items can be written off as tax deductions as they are considered work expenses for his set design. Quack, bang, out!

Yes sir, I'm quite sure that you're correct. Dueling is forbidden by law; the punishment is imprisonment. I am not an attorney but I believe that this is correct.

[@aparker9622]

Completely agree with you at the end of your video

[@sarahstednick4884]

Strong men make good times. Good times make weak men. Weak men make bad times. The cycle begins again. The type of strong men our country made created such good times, we now gave a lot of weak men and we all know what kind of times are coming. Strong men will be grown again from the times that are coming.

[@jasonlebeau1288]

Small correction: Muhammad Ali was given the name Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. at birth and later changed it to Muhammad Ali after accepting the teachings of Islam and converting. Edit: My bad I made this comment before getting deeper into the video where you corrected yourself. Keep up the great work!

[@thomasparker8449]

love your reviews, Great job!

[@PAT8888-is2pd]

Ali didn't take his name. It was the name given to him at birth. After he changed his name to Muhammed Ali, he stated in an interview that Cassius Clay was his slave name. He obviously had no knowledge of Cassius Clay.

[@davidmarwood775]

Not only that but his new name was the name of a slaveholder.

[@WilliamOsborne-ni8eo]

His mother named him. How is that racist?

[@WilliamOsborne-ni8eo]

He was never a slave.

[@PAT8888-is2pd]

@@WilliamOsborne-ni8eo yes. I am aware of that. I didn't say he was. I said that this was his explanation for changing his name. What I found was ironic was that if he felt that strongly about the source of the name, why did he convert to a religion that still, at least at that time, condone slavery. They don't now, at least not openly, because of international opinion and politics. Saudi Arabia didn't "officially" outlaw slavery until the 1960s and Mauritania didn't outlaw it until the 1980s. I can pretty much guarantee that it is still going on there because the Quran teaches them that it is not only their right to enslave the "unbelievers" but, their obligation.

[@IllzKeepsItRealTv]

To me, it was coming from a feeling of expression of him using the term gangster on Cassius Marcellus Clay. But overall however, he stood on business.

[@ZoneXV]

I think he's also figured out that the algorithm really likes the word for some reason, it's why he's used it in a lot of his other videos. I love his channel so I'm all for him finding ways to game the algorithm cause we know how much it likes to screw over hard working creators.

No, duels haven't been legal in the US since the civil war. The closest to a duel that is legal is mutual combat, but that is only legal in Texas and Washington state. It must be overseen by a police officer, so they can ensure no bystanders are hurt, along with breaking up the fight when a clear victor has emerged. FYI
