1865 Mobile, Alabama Magazine Explosion

[@loganchappell6272]

I have lived in Mobile my whole life and have never heard this story. Thanks for telling it here today in a way that only you could do.

[@brandonshaw7619]

Me either

[@ericwalstrand3512]

I've lived here close to 25 years and it's the first I've heard of it. Lots of interesting history in Mobile. Very few outside of Mobile realize Mardi Gras was started here, not New Orleans. An even more amazing amount of history and famous people from Alabama. And ecologically, they claim that Alabama is to North America what the Amazon is to South America. If you ever have a chance, go to the Five Rivers Center in Baldwin county. They have boat tours around the bay. It's amazing what is around here.

[@Wil_Liam1]

I was born and raised just north of Pensacola and we studied this in the 70s,back when history was a mandatory class,fact checked and true..

[@STho205]

Will is correct. Students of the region got this instruction in their Alabama and US history classes through the 70s and likely into the 80s. Such significant events were likely ignored in recent years as history by my daughter's years in the 00s was often an also-ran class at the end of the day...or an excuse to play fictional movies while the teacher did other things. History and literature used to be the main passions and expertise of general studies teachers 1st-9th grades. That is no longer the case for at least three decades.

[@PogueMahone1]

Few people who grew/grow up in Mobile have much of an idea of true history. Most who do had to go away to college to get one. We were given instead this glossy, romantic, rose-colored, "Gone-With-the-Wind" dreamscape of a fairyland past -- a swirl of Southern belles and gentlemen admirers swilling sweet tea and lemonade by smiling dark servants on the mansion grounds near Fort Conde during Mardi Gras where in the evening, amongst the magnolias and oaks covered in Spanish moss, they would conceive children under azalea bushes. No critical history was taught -- much less anything like CRT -- and critical thinking was discouraged by both teachers and one's peers. There was little discussion about slavery and Reconstruction; nothing about Jim Crow, American politics after WW1 or any history post WW2; stirling portraits of Davis, Jackson, Lee, and Forrest meant to give life to the Lost Cause; derogatory statements about Northerners, "Yankees", and "foreign immigrants" -- everything we learned was refracted through the distorted lens of the White Southern Christian Perspective. The pity is most white southerners and red-staters continue to maintain and promote their ignorant and hateful 18th Century ethos here into the 21st.

His name was Alfonso Booker. I have had good teachers but Mr. Booker was, and still is, the best History Teacher I have ever known. He has been dead for twenty plus years but I still think of him often. RIP Mr. Booker. You are sorely missed.

There was also a monster explosion during the Korean War. While the British Royal Navy was assisting our US forces in preparing for the Inchon Landings (with shore bombardment), the gunners on the cruiser HMS Jamaica hit a bullseye on a huge North Korean weapons arsenal and detonated the whole thing. Reportedly the blast was so powerful it sent a smoke plume nearly 8,000 feet into the sky and was heard for miles. I hate to imagine what happened to any of the surrounding communities. War truly is hell for all experiencing it.

I got into history while I was hiding out in the library, but that’s another story. I learned to love books reading as well as the books themselves.

Mobile native here, there are actually three forts. On the east side of Mobile bay is Fort Morgan to the west side of the bay is Fort Gaines, if you managed to make it past the two-sided attack when you got in range Fort Conde was at the back end of the bay so now all three forts raining cannon balls made it practically impossible to take from the water. Great video buddy. Lived there all my life and did not know a lot of the things you presented in this vid...subbed

Good video. I'd like to see one on the Civil War history of my hometown, Tallahassee, Florida. Tally was the last Capitol of the Confederate States and was never captured by the North. We threw back multiple attacks by the Yanks at Natural Bridge, some miles south of Tallahassee. Mostly defended by the old men and young boys of military schools. But, it was for naught, as the Yanks took the port town of St. Marks, and Tally was simply bypassed and isolated until the war ended.

[@nedludd7622]

So Tally had no importance and was bypassed.

"The History Guy" proves that a good Narrator and a well written anecdote can enthrall listeners and bring to life any story that might take his fancy to tell. As always, well done good sir, the quality of your channel has always been a great source of information and history for me as I too am a lover of History because it shows to the current generations that their forefathers were not only intelligent but often times every bit as intelligent and skilled as people today and the thing they did and survived and went through should earn our respect and admiration for they had to live their lives without the benefits of technology and science that we so take for granted. Most people today mistakenly think that they are smarter than their forefathers, but this is an error they need to realize, otherwise they will be forced to relive the mistakes made by previous generations. just because you had a better education than they did does not make you smarter than those who came before you. smart has nothing to do with knowledge but how you use the knowledge you have. And then there comes wisdom that only comes with age and life experience that only increases a person's intelligent capacity, but the young are clueless to these things until decades later when they realize that their parents weren't stupid at all, but had knowledge and life experience that cannot be learned in any school.

Under an old oak tree they officially ended the war between the States East of the Mississippi River.

I served on USS Semmes DDG 18 1983-84. I read there are streets, buildings, etc named after him. Too bad his statue was removed because of his association with the Conferate Navy...

​@@RetiredSailor60 Yes sir, his statue sat in the heart of the business district in downtown Mobile for many many years. Also you have the Admiral Semmes Hotel along with The City of Semmes about 10-15 miles west of Mobile. Sadly Mobile mayor Sandy Stimpson with a yellow streak down his back gave in and allowed the removal of the statue.

[@STho205]

General Taylor came down on the RR from his HQ in Meridian Mississippi to meet Gen Canby near Citronelle the first week of May, about a month after the capture of Mobile and the losses at Spanish Fort and Blakely. Several little skirmishes happened in the Kushla Station and other villages west of Mobile. After Lincoln was shot, Canby lost patience and requested surrender. All Taylor's remaining army was paroled that day at various whistle stops along the railhead. Taylor's CS Army of Mississippi, being the largest force in the area was used by the Union command to keep order in the Meridian/Lucedale/Citronelle area and keep the railroad open and guarded to supply captured Mobile. ..ironies of war.

You need to come up to NWPA to The Valley that changed the world. Col. Drake Museum has re-enactors of the 1859 oil well; nearby is the McClintock well that has been pumping since 1861. Pipeline was invented here. Pithole City boomed to a population of 15,000 in two years and then went to zero almost as fast. Plenty of great content in one very scenic area. Titusville & Oil City PA. George Washington first got noticed at the confluence of the Allegheny River & French Creek as he bumbled into starting the French & Indian War in nearby Franklin PA.

[@kimmer6]

May 25th is a day that is branded into my brain for life. I flew all over the world in in the 70's and 80's for GE. But May 25th, 1979, I got some feeling of doom and gloom, hopelessness, utter waste as I was awaiting a cab to the Albany airport. I was to go to Chicago O'Hare on Eastern, change planes to American 191, then continue to Los Angeles. I had the cabbie take me to our office instead and got another assignment to Venezuela. Even though I had several air commuter tickets to New York JFK, I took a 4 hour bus ride to Manhattan to get my entry visa. I booked flights for the next day from JFK to Miami to Caracas to Maracaibo then took a well deserved nap at the Hotel Lexington. When I woke up, I called my parents to tell them that I changed my plans. They were crying, unable to speak. AA191, a DC-10, crashed a few seconds after takeoff killing 273 people including the person on standby who got my seat when I didn't cancel my reservation. I slept until evening and my parents spent the afternoon thinking that I was killed. It was on every TV channel. The next day, I took 2 DC-10's and a DC-9 to get to Maracaibo without a care in the world about air safety. This will be the 44th anniversary of the crash. I will spend the day quietly and read the names of all 271 people on the plane and the 2 guys killed on the ground at work. I should have died May 25th, at age 26. Where that weird felling came from, who knows. As soon as I told myself that I'm not getting on any plane, I felt like I was standing under a warm tropical waterfall and everything was great. Happy birthday to her!

Amazing...the battleships technology or lack thereof, everything is steel as hell, big knobs and dials everywhere huge 6 ft tall shells huge guns. The Drum is so awesome and cramped inside seemingly hundreds of valves, dials, tubing all made of the highest polished brass I've ever seen. Not to mention an incredible aviation museum with an SR 72 in the parking lot, while your planning go see the Blue Angels in Pcola an hr away. You wont be disappointed if you are a fan of history. So historic and was one of my Childrens favorite places to go growing up as we are natives.

You have free reign over the whole ship and can even climb in the big gun pill boxes if you can fit, lol the hole is literally about 16 x 12 inches maybe.
