The September 6, 1901, assassination of President William McKinley by self-professed anarchist Leon Czolgosz triggered a nationwide political backlash against the killer's like-minded political adherents. It also served as the catalyst for the expansion of nascent federal government surveillance capabilities used against not only anarchists but socialists and members of other social or political movements that were challenging the prevailing political, economic, and social paradigms of the day. And it was the ensuing, decades-long persistent exaggerations of domestic political threats from those movements that drove an exponential increase in the frequency and scale of unlawful government surveillance and related political repression against hundreds of thousands of individual Americans and civil society organizations.The Triumph of Fear is a history of the rise and expansion of surveillance-enabled political repression in America from the late 1890s to early 1961. Drawing on declassified government documents (many obtained via dozens of Freedom of Information Act requests and lawsuits) and other primary sources, Cato Institute senior fellow Patrick Eddington offers historians, legal scholars, political leaders, and general readers surprising new revelations about the scope of government surveillance programs and how this domestic spying helped fuel federal assaults on free speech and association that continue to this day. Join us for a conversation about the book with Eddington led by Caleb Brown, Cato's director of multimedia. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the first half, author John Koerner joined guest host Richard Syrett (Twitter) to discuss the untold history surrounding the assassinations of four US presidents—Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley, and John F. Kennedy.Koerner highlighted lesser-known details about Lincoln's assassination, noting that John Wilkes Booth carried two Derringers, though only one is officially documented. Booth may have deliberately bought the weapon from a Philadelphia dealer named Abraham on Lincoln's birthday. He suggested Booth had ties to the Confederate Secret Service in Canada, possibly with British involvement, and questioned why this link isn't widely discussed. Koerner also examined security lapses, particularly Lincoln's guard's failure, and theories about Edwin Stanton aiding Booth's escape. Rumors persist that Booth survived rather than dying in a Virginia barn, he noted. Koerner speculated that Lincoln's second term could have advanced civil rights, potentially preventing the rise of the Ku Klux Klan.He argued that Garfield's assassination, though often overlooked, was pivotal in American history. A Civil War veteran, Garfield aimed to advance civil rights and reform corruption. His assassin, Charles Guiteau, used a British Bulldog revolver, but four of five bullets were defective. The weapon later vanished, fueling cover-up theories, Koerner revealed. Guiteau may have been manipulated by political forces, as Garfield's aides received a warning three days prior. Koerner suggested that figures like Senator Roscoe Conkling, who opposed Garfield's reforms, may have benefited from his death. Garfield's survival could have reshaped American democracy by revitalizing Reconstruction and dismantling corrupt political machines.Koerner drew parallels between McKinley's assassination and those of Garfield and JFK, noting all three could have survived without a second shot. McKinley was shot by anarchist Leon Czolgosz, who had mysteriously acquired large sums of money before the attack. Suspicious elements include a man known only as "the Italian" distracting security and the disappearance of key photographic evidence and the murder weapon, he explained. Koerner pointed out that McKinley's pro-business stance made him a target, as his successor, Theodore Roosevelt, aggressively pursued trust-busting and foreign policy changes, hinting that McKinley's death may have shifted America's direction.Regarding JFK's assassination, Koerner questioned the official narrative, particularly the rifle used. Initial reports identified a German Mauser, later changed to an Italian Mannlicher-Carcano, which was adjusted for a left-handed shooter, though Lee Harvey Oswald was right-handed. The timeline of Oswald's actions is also disputed, as he was inside a theater when Officer J.D. Tippit was killed. A paraffin test found no gunpowder on Oswald's cheek, suggesting he hadn't fired a rifle. Koerner linked Kennedy's death to conflicts with financial and oil interests, comparing it to Lincoln and Jackson's opposition to centralized banking, implying JFK was targeted for political and economic reasons rather than by a lone gunman.

In this episode of the podcast, we crack open a Smuttynose "Finest Kind" IPA and dive into the fascinating life and legacy of William McKinley, the 25th President of the United States. Known to many as the "fourth assassinated president" alongside Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, and John F. Kennedy, McKinley's story goes far beyond trivia night. From his heroic service during the Civil War to his transformative presidency, we explore what made him one of the most influential figures in American history.We discuss McKinley's courageous actions on the battlefield—running through enemy fire to deliver crucial messages—and his rise from an enlisted soldier to the rank of brevet major. Transitioning into politics, McKinley served multiple terms in the House of Representatives, became Governor of Ohio, and ultimately won the presidency in 1896. Learn how his “front porch campaign” changed the face of presidential elections and why he's the only U.S. president to have served in the House but not the Senate.McKinley's presidency marked a turning point for the United States, establishing the nation as a global power. We delve into the impact of the Spanish-American War (1898), which led to the U.S. acquiring Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, as well as the annexation of Hawaii. McKinley championed the gold standard over silver-backed currency and supported protective tariffs to boost American manufacturing—policies that draw comparisons to modern leaders like Donald Trump. We also touch on his role in strengthening the U.S. Navy, expanding the nation's global influence, and consolidating the power of the Republican Party for decades.Of course, we also cover McKinley's tragic assassination at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, by anarchist Leon Czolgosz—a pivotal event that reshaped presidential security and led to the Secret Service assuming its protective role. Plus, we explore the eerie coincidence of Robert Todd Lincoln, son of Abraham Lincoln, being present at the assassinations of three U.S. presidents: Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley.Finally, we discuss the controversy surrounding Mount McKinley—North America's tallest peak—originally named in McKinley's honor but renamed Denali during the Obama administration, sparking debates about history, culture, and politics.Grab a drink, settle in, and join us for a fun and insightful conversation about history, politics, and craft beer.

This Day in Legal History: McKinley Assassin Stands TrialOn September 23, 1901, the trial of Leon Czolgosz began for the assassination of President William McKinley. Czolgosz, an anarchist, had shot McKinley on September 6 at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. Despite efforts to save him, McKinley died eight days later from gangrene caused by the bullet wounds. The trial was swift, lasting only eight hours over two days, as Czolgosz had already confessed to the crime. His defense team, appointed by the court, argued that Czolgosz was insane, but he refused to cooperate with his lawyers or plead insanity.The prosecution presented overwhelming evidence, including eyewitness testimonies and the fact that Czolgosz shot McKinley at point-blank range in a public setting. The jury deliberated for less than 30 minutes before finding him guilty of first-degree murder. Czolgosz was sentenced to death and was executed by electric chair on October 29, 1901. His trial and execution sparked discussions about the influence of anarchism in the U.S. and led to increased efforts to suppress political radicalism in the early 20th century.From a presidential assassin from history to a would-be modern day presidential assassin, Ryan W. Routh, a 58-year-old suspect accused of attempting to assassinate former U.S. President Donald Trump, is set to appear in court on Monday. Routh allegedly hid near Trump's Florida golf course on September 15, pointing a rifle through the tree line while Trump played golf. Although he did not fire a shot and lacked a direct line of sight to Trump, who was several hundred yards away, Routh was charged with two gun-related crimes: possession of a firearm as a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. Additional charges may follow.A Secret Service agent spotted the weapon and fired in Routh's direction, causing him to flee. He was later arrested on a nearby highway. Prosecutors are expected to argue for his detention, citing public safety concerns. The FBI is investigating the incident as an apparent assassination attempt ahead of the upcoming November presidential election. Authorities have not yet disclosed a motive, though Routh, a convicted felon with a history of supporting Ukraine, previously made statements in a self-published book suggesting that Trump could be a target for assassination. Cellphone data shows Routh may have been in the area for 12 hours before being apprehended.Trump attempted assassination suspect Ryan Routh to appear in court | ReutersAn appeals court panel recently reviewed procedural issues in Stephen Thaler's attempt to copyright an AI-generated image, raising concerns that the court may avoid larger questions about AI and copyright law. Thaler argued that his AI, the "Creativity Machine," autonomously created the work in question, but the U.S. Copyright Office rejected his application, and a lower court dismissed his case. The court found that Thaler had waived the argument that he was the author by continuing to claim the machine was the creator.During the appeal, the judges suggested that Thaler's argument may be barred since his appellate brief did not challenge the lower court's finding that he had waived his authorship claim. Legal experts fear this focus on procedural flaws could prevent the court from addressing significant issues about the role of human creativity in AI-generated works.If the court rules that AI-created works cannot be copyrighted, it could have far-reaching effects, leaving AI-generated content like images and text unprotected and placing them in the public domain. The court's decision may not close the door on AI-assisted works, but it raises questions about where the line is drawn between human and machine-generated creativity. The case highlights ongoing uncertainties about how copyright law will adapt to AI's growing role in creative industries. The key legal issue here is the court's focus on procedural waiver, which may limit the scope of the ruling and leave broader questions about AI and copyright unresolved.AI Art Appeal's Procedural Flaws Put Broader Ruling in DoubtThe U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has sued the three largest pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs)—UnitedHealth's Optum, CVS Health's Caremark, and Cigna's Express Scripts—accusing them of inflating insulin prices to gain larger rebates from pharmaceutical companies. The FTC claims that these PBMs steered patients towards higher-priced insulin by excluding cheaper alternatives from coverage, harming those with coinsurance or deductibles who couldn't benefit from the rebate. Together, these three companies control 80% of U.S. prescriptions.The PBMs denied the allegations, arguing that their practices have lowered insulin costs for businesses and patients. The case represents a significant step in the Biden administration's push to lower drug prices, particularly insulin, which has seen soaring costs over the past decade. FTC Deputy Director Rahul Rao labeled the PBMs as "medication gatekeepers," accusing them of profiting at the expense of diabetic patients.The lawsuit did not target insulin manufacturers like Eli Lilly, Sanofi, and Novo Nordisk but criticized their role in the system. The drugmakers supported reforms to lower patient costs and highlighted their programs to cap insulin prices at $35. The FTC's suit aims to address broader concerns about the U.S. healthcare system's structure and the rising cost of life-saving medications like insulin.US FTC sues drug 'gatekeepers' over high insulin pricesFTC Sues CVS, Cigna, UnitedHealth Over Rising Insulin Costs (1)Jackson Walker LLP is facing disciplinary action after a federal judge found the Texas law firm breached its ethical duties by failing to disclose a secret relationship between one of its attorneys, Elizabeth Freeman, and former Houston bankruptcy judge David R. Jones. Judge Marvin Isgur issued a scathing letter on Friday, criticizing the firm for concealing the affair, which he said violated professional responsibilities and "defiled the very temple of justice." Isgur recused himself from cases involving the firm following this recommendation.The relationship came to light after Freeman, a former partner at Jackson Walker, continued to see Jones despite telling the firm in 2021 that the relationship had ended. Isgur accused the firm of knowingly withholding this information from clients and the court, calling it an "inconceivable" ethical breach. The U.S. Trustee is now attempting to recover up to $18 million in fees earned by Jackson Walker in cases overseen by Jones while he was dating Freeman.The disciplinary case has been referred to Judge Lee H. Rosenthal, and Jackson Walker faces potential penalties, including disbarment or suspension. The firm denies violating ethical rules and claims Freeman misled them. However, Isgur emphasized that the firm's decision to protect itself at the expense of its clients and professional obligations was "intolerable." A public hearing is expected to follow, giving Jackson Walker a chance to respond to the charges.Jackson Walker ‘Defiled the Very Temple of Justice,' Judge Says This is a public episode.

In September 1901, President William McKinley visited the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York to deliver a speech celebrating American achievements at home and abroad. But waiting in the crowd in Buffalo was an embittered Polish-American laborer seeking to prove his commitment to the anarchist cause. Leon Czolgosz fired two bullets, striking the 25th president and sparking a rush to save McKinley's life. With the president's life hanging in the balance, McKinley's ambitious Vice President, Theodore Roosevelt, waited in the wings with bold ambitions for expanding America's imperial might.Order your copy of the new American History Tellers book, The Hidden History of the White House, for behind-the-scenes stories of some of the most dramatic events in American history—set right inside the house where it happened.Listen to American History Tellers on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley y John Fitzgerald Kennedy fueron presidentes de Estados Unidos en distintos momentos, pero, aparte del hecho de ocupar la presidencia, compartieron un destino común: los cuatro fueron asesinados mientras estaban en el cargo. El primero de ellos fue Abraham Lincoln en 1865. El país no tenía ni un siglo de historia y la guerra civil estaba a punto de concluir. El 14 de abril de aquel año un pistolero llamado John Wilkes Booth le disparó en la nuca cuando el presidente asistía a una representación teatral en Washington. El asesinato de Lincoln era la parte más importante de un complot de los confederados para revertir una derrota segura. Abatieron al presidente, pero no a sus otros dos objetivos: el vicepresidente y el secretario de Estado. Consiguieron todo lo contrario de lo que se proponían. Lincoln fue ascendido a categoría de héroe nacional y como tal se le recuerda hoy. No muchos años después, en 1881 fue tiroteado en una estación ferroviaria de Washington el presidente James Garfield, que había tomado posesión del cargo el 4 de marzo, sólo unos meses antes. Garfield era republicano y en aquellos momentos el partido se encontraba muy dividido. Un miembro del partido, decepcionado porque no le habían dado un cargo, Charles Guiteau, decidió vengarse aprovechando que el presidente iba a tomar un tren para pasar las vacaciones. El 2 de julio se dirigió armado con un pequeño revolver a la estación de Baltimore y Potomac, se acercó al presidente y le disparó a quemarropa por la espalda. Garfield no murió en el acto, fue trasladado a la Casa Blanca con una bala en el cuerpo, pero aún pasarían casi tres meses hasta que a finales de septiembre murió víctima de una sepsis. Veinte años más tarde, en septiembre de 1901 caería asesinado el tercer presidente, pero esta vez no sería en Washington, sino en Búfalo, una ciudad al norte del Estado de Nueva York adonde había viajado para darse un baño de multitudes durante la celebración de la Exposición Panamericana. Esta vez el asesino fue un anarquista de Detroit llamado Leon Czolgosz. McKinley acababa de estrenar su segundo mandato y era un presidente muy popular. Tras visitar la exposición quiso estrechar la mano personalmente de tantos asistentes como fuera posible en el palacio de la música, uno de los pabellones más vistosos de la exposición. Ese era el momento que Czolgosz esperaba para poder acercarse al presidente y dispararle a corta distancia con un revolver que llevaba escondido en la mano debajo de un pañuelo. Tuvo tiempo de disparar dos veces. La primera bala fue desviada por un botón, la segunda penetró en su abdomen. Pero, como ya le ocurrió a Garfield, McKinley no murió ese día. Fue llevado de urgencia a la enfermería de la exposición donde intentaron sin éxito extraerle la bala. Quedó en observación en la casa del presidente de la exposición y allí moriría una semana más tarde víctima de la gangrena. Que tres presidentes fuesen asesinados en un lapso tan breve de tiempo provocó que se extremasen las medidas de seguridad. Fue tras el asesinato de McKinley cuando el Congreso pidió a Servicio Secreto, dedicado hasta entonces a perseguir la falsificación de moneda, se encargase también de la seguridad presidencial. Eso no impidió que seis décadas después fuese asesinado el presidente Kennedy en Dallas. Este magnicidio es el más reciente y también el más conocido ya que dio lugar a todo tipo de teorías de la conspiración a cada cual más imaginativa. El de Kennedy fue un asesinato mucho más elaborado que los anteriores. Corrió a cargo de un tirador, Lee Harvey Oslwald, que esperó a que la caravana presidencial pasase por delante de un almacén en el que se había apostado con un rifle dotado de mira telescópica. El presidente viajaba en una limusina descubierta junto a su esposa y el gobernador de Texas. La muerte fue instantánea y eso puso en marcha de inmediato la sucesión presidencial. El vicepresidente Lyndon B. Johnson tuvo que jurar el cargo apresuradamente a bordo del Air Force One. Desde entonces han intentado asesinar a los sucesivos presidentes en varias ocasiones, pero sin éxito. Hoy en La ContraHistoria vamos a repasar los primeros tres magnicidios que conmocionaron a Estados Unidos y que, en última instancia, han hecho de sus presidentes los mandatarios mejor protegidos del mundo. El cuarto, el de Kennedy, mucho mejor documentado, lo veremos en el siguiente capítulo.

In September 1901, President William McKinley visited the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York to deliver a speech celebrating American achievements at home and abroad. But waiting in the crowd in Buffalo was an embittered Polish-American laborer seeking to prove his commitment to the anarchist cause. Leon Czolgosz fired two bullets, striking the 25th president and sparking a rush to save McKinley's life. With the president's life hanging in the balance, McKinley's ambitious Vice President, Theodore Roosevelt, waited in the wings with a bold ambitions for expanding America's imperial might.Listen ad free with Wondery+.

On the 5th of September 1901 President William McKinley was assassinated by anarchist Leon Czolgosz. In spite of organised anarchist violence being a hallmark of this era, it has always been contended that Czolgosz acted alone. Today's guest, history professor John Koerner contests this narrative. In his book, The Secret Plot to Kill McKinley, Professor Koerner peels back the layers to reveal a wider anarchist, and perhaps ultimately Republican Party plot, to dispense with America's 25th President.   Details of all Professor Koerner's books and interviews can be found here: https://www.paranormalwalks.com/books   To support the show and for access to the forum and regular online meetups see: https://payhip.com/b/Sq0ZB   Buy me a Coffee page: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/DSConsciousness  

No dia 14 de setembro de 1901, o presidente norte-americano William McKinley sucumbe aos ferimentos que lhe foram infligidos por um assassino em atentado à bala no dia 6 de setembro. De acordo com testemunhas, as derradeiras palavras de McKinley foram aquelas do hino "Nearer My God to Thee." [Mais perto, ó meu Deus, de ti].McKinley cumprimentava uma longa fila de pessoas que o recebiam na Exposição Panamericana em Buffalo, Nova York, quando um jovem de 28 anos, Leon Czolgosz, anarquista, se aproximou com um revólver escondido em um lenço empunhado na mão direita. McKinley imaginou que o lenço era para esconder um defeito físico e gentilmente buscou a mão esquerda do homem para apertá-la. Czolgosz aproximou-se do presidente e quase à queima-roupa desferiu dois tiros em seu peito. O assassino tentou ainda disparar um terceiro tiro no cambaleante presidente, quando assessores derrubaram-no ao solo e o prenderam.Quer contribuir com Opera Mundi via PIX?

The Friday Newsletter | Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events 1805 Birth of Hugo von Mohl, German botanist.  One newspaper called him the "greatest botanist of his day." He coined the word protoplasm. He discovered Mitosis and chloroplasts - describing them as discrete bodies within the green plant cell in 1837. In 1846 he described the sap in plant cells as "the living substance of the cell" and created the word "protoplasm."   1859 On this day, the Ohio Legislature named Alliance, Ohio, the "Carnation City," saying "truly it is the home of Ohio's State flower," thanks to the work of the amateur horticulturist Levi L. Lamborn (books by this author). In 1876, Levi ran against his friend William McKinley for congress. Before every debate, Levi gave William a "Lamborn Red" Carnation to wear on his lapel. Levi had propagated and named the Lamborn Red Carnation from seedlings he had received from France. After William won the election, he considered the Lamborn Red Carnation his good luck charm - his lucky flower - and he wore a Lamborn Red Carnation during his successful campaigns for Governor of Ohio and President of the United States. William wore a Lamborn Red Carnation when he was sworn into office. He was also wearing one when he attended the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, in 1901. At that event, he removed the Carnation and gave it to a 12-year-old girl named Myrtle Ledger, saying, I must give this flower to another little flower. Minutes later, in the receiving line, he greeted his assassin, Leon Czolgosz. President McKinley lingered for eight days after being shot twice before finally succumbing to infection. When McKinley's funeral train passed through Alliance, Ohio, the train tracks were covered in Lamborn Red Carnations.  The Ohio General Assembly named the scarlet Carnation the official Ohio floral emblem three years later. The resolution reads: Even though the first mention of the Dianthus genus of plant... is traced to some four hundred years before the birth of Christ, it was not until a native son of Alliance, Ohio, (Levi L. Lamborn) worked his floricultural magic that it blossomed as the matchless symbol of life and love that is today. Representative Elijah W. Hill, from Columbiana County, said, England has the rose, France has the lily; Ireland, the shamrock; Scotland, the thistle. ...To these ends, we seek to adopt the scarlet Carnation as Ohio's floral emblem. Fifty-five years later, on this day, April 8, 1959, Alliance, Ohio, became the "Carnation City" thanks to the work of Levi L. Lamborn. Every year since 1960, Alliance has held a Carnation festival. In 2022, the 10-day festival takes place between August 4 - August 14.   1892 Birth of Mary Pickford (books about this person), born Gladys Marie Smith, became known as America's sweetheart and a Hollywood legend. Mary was also a lover of trees. If you jump on Twitter, search for "Mary Pickford Tree," and you'll see images of Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford planting a tree at their PickFair estate. #ArborDay Mary Pickford was the first to plant a Japanese cedar tree in the Forest of Fame at the California Botanic Garden. And Trivia/Folklore says that Mary Pickford used to eat flowers - especially roses. Katie Melua sang about Mary in a song that goes: Mary Pickford Used to eat roses Thinking they'd make her Beautiful, and they did-  One supposes. In real life, Mary did indeed eat roses. Mary Pickford revealed in her autobiography, Sunshine and Shadow that as a young girl living in Toronto, she would buy a single rose and eat the petals, believing the beauty, color, and perfume would somehow get inside her. Mary starred in Madame Butterfly (1915). The movie was shot in the Japanese garden of Charles Pfizer's Bernardsville, New Jersey estate called Yademos, the word "someday" spelled backward. The elaborate three-and-a-half-acre Japanese garden - complete with a lake filled with Japanese goldfish, a tea house, and a hooped and arched bridge - looked like it had been there forever - but in reality, the garden was only nine years old.    1918 Birth of First Lady Betty Ford (books about this person). As a woman, Betty Ford consistently defied the odds. She was an incredible trailblazer and very open about her struggles with alcohol and breast cancer. She revolutionized addiction treatment and opened her center for treatment while she was in the middle of working on her own recovery. Today' the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens is a fitting living tribute to this remarkable woman. Known as Vail's Alpine Treasure, the garden was founded in 1985 by the Vail Alpine Garden Foundation and renamed in honor of Betty three years later in 1988. This special place is located in Ford Park right next to the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater–named in honor of her husband, the 38th president of the United States. Over the years, the Betty Ford Alpine Garden has evolved to comprise four distinct sections; Mountain Perennial Garden (1989), Mountain Meditation Garden (1991), Alpine Rock Garden (1999), & the Children's Garden (2002.) Today, over 3,000 species of high-altitude plants play host to children's programs, horticultural therapy activities, and numerous partnerships and conservation initiatives. In 1991, Betty said, When I was a little girl, I spent many cherished hours with my mother in her garden. She wisely marked off an area for my very own plants. As we worked together, she nurtured me as she nurtured my love of gardening. This nurturing mother-daughter relationship, with its love growing strong in a garden, has been passed along to my daughter, Susan, and her two girls.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation Immersion by Nola Anderson  This book came out on April 13, 2021 - (so we're almost at the year anniversary) - and the subtitle is Living and Learning in an Olmsted Garden. This book came about because Nola Anderson and her husband purchased a property called The Chimneys in 1991. The Chimneys was an old estate, and  Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. designed the gardens for the original owners. Sadly, the property had fallen into ruin by the time Nola and her husband got ahold of it. The Chimneys story reminds me so much of Sissinghurst. I love when people revive old spaces like this. One of the things that I appreciate about Nola is her courage and curiosity. When Nola walked onto The Chimneys property, she had not a lick of garden experience, which always reminds me of the saying, "Ignorance is bliss." Perhaps if Nola had been a gardener, she might've looked at the property and felt daunted by the task of restoration. But instead, Nola and her husband committed to renewing this incredible seaside garden. After three decades of hard work and research, The Chimneys was a sight to behold.  Originally, The Chimneys was created at the turn of the century, between 1902 and 1914. The Chimneys was home to a wealthy Boston finance guy named Gardiner Martin Lane and his wife, Emma. They hired Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. to create an Italianate garden for them. The seaside garden is perched on a bluff and comprises a series of garden terraces that gradually taper down with the natural topography. The very top terrace is called the water terrace and features a rose-covered pergola and a shelter that boasts a stunning view of the terraces below and the ocean. Then there is the most incredible water feature (on the book cover), inspired by a 16th-century country estate in Italy called Villa Lante. In the Facebook group for the show, I shared a video of Monte Don walking through the incredible garden at Villa Lante. Monte says that this garden, Villa Lante, is the prime example of an Italianate Garden and the inspiration for Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. when working for the Lane family. The other terraces at The Chimneys are also stunning. They include the overlook terrace, the lavender terrace, the all-white tea terrace, the vegetable garden, the crab apple allee, and finally, the luxuriant rose garden.  So how lucky are Nola and her husband to stumble on The Chimney's estate and then bring it back to life? It really was the chance of a lifetime. And, don't you just love stories like this? The people who take on these forgotten gems - these gardens from our past - usher them through a transformation to reclaim their former glory. Before I forget, I wanted to mention that Clint Clemens is the photographer for this book, and he did a truly magnificent job. The photography is absolutely stunning. This book is 293 pages of The Chimneys - a garden on my bucket list.  You can get a copy of Immersion by Nola Anderson and support the show using the Amazon link in today's show notes for about $50.   Botanic Spark 1955 Birth of Barbara Kingsolver (books by this author), American writer and poet. A daughter of Kentucky, Barbara graduated from DePauw University and the University of Arizona. She worked as a freelance writer before writing novels. Since 1993, her books have made the New York Times Best Seller list. The Poisonwood Bible (1998) brought critical acclaim and told the tale of a missionary family in the Congo - a place Barbara knew briefly as a child when her parents worked in public health in the Congo. In 2007 Barbara shared her family's quest to eat locally in Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, where she wrote, Spring is made of solid, fourteen-karat gratitude, the reward for the long wait. Every religious tradition from the northern hemisphere honors some form of April hallelujah, for this is the season of exquisite redemption, a slam-bang return to joy after a season of cold second thoughts. She also mused, I have seen women looking at jewelry ads with a misty eye and one hand resting on the heart, and I only know what they're feeling because that's how I read the seed catalogs in January.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

“Imagine that a ship is sinking in the ocean with 300 passengers on board and only 200 life-preservers.  The only just solution is that everyone drown.”  -Thomas Sowell Many death-penalty opponents say, "It's not going to bring your loved one back."  Google it -- tons of them say this.  To which I now respond, "WHAT?!  It doesn't reincarnate them like Lazarus?!" Leftist-anarchist Leon Czolgosz assassinated William McKinley who died on September 14, 1901.  Czolgosz was convicted and was sitting in the electric chair on October 29, 1901. And yet Nikolas Cruz, who murdered 17 at Parkland, has not even begun his trial 1,217 days later.  The search for perfect justice in our system has created terrific injustice elsewhere -- for the families who have to wait 30 years for the sentence to be meted out, for the taxpayers who have to pay millions to convict a man who OBVIOUSLY DID IT, and so on. Most of us look back on the old days of shaming out-of-wedlock children and fat people with disgust.  But yet -- what if that did untold good?  It's a genuinely unresolved question for me. It takes a great man to be a good listener.  -Calvin Coolidge

In the final episode of our three part series on the assassination of McKinley, we take a look at the gunman himself, Leon Czolgosz.   For more information about the Buffalo History Museum, visit our website at www.buffalohistory.org   For iconic pictures of Western New York History, visit our picture store at https://buffalohistory.smugmug.com

In September 1901, a socially awkward and frustrated anarchist named Leon Czolgosz tracked President William McKinley to the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. There, he fired two .32 calibre slugs point blank into the President. As police wrestled the assassin to the ground, Czolgosz had but one thing to say: "I done my duty." Hosted on Acast.

EP. 1: William McKinley v. the World (Part 2). Thanks for listening to the exciting conclusion of our Season 5 premiere. We discuss with our guests McKinley’s relationship with Theodore Roosevelt, the “Splendid Little War” known as the Spanish American War, the economic boom of the McKinley years and his tragic assassination in Buffalo, NY in 1901. We are joined in Part One by Robert Merry, author of the book President McKinley: Architect of the American Century (Simon&Schuster, 2017). Buy that book! It’s fantastic. Here’s a link: https://www.amazon.com/President-McKinley-Architect-American-Century/dp/1451625448 Robert helps us breakdown how the United States became a world power and an empire in McKinley’s 4.5 years as Commander in Chief. We look at the success of the Spanish American War and McKinley’s complicated legacy following his death. Alex also speaks again with University of Akron history professor Kevin Kern about McKinley’s foreign policy successes, the humanitarian crisis in Cuba that lead to the Spanish American War and the President’s assassin, Leon Czolgosz. We are also joined by Anthony Greco from the Buffalo History Museum to discuss the McKinley’s tragic killing at the Pan American Exposition in 1901. Visit the great Buffalo History Museum (online for now) at www.buffalohistory.org.

United States President William McKinley was on top of the world. For the most part, the American people loved him — and he loved them. In fact, shaking hands and meeting new people was one of his favorite parts of the job. But it was also one of the most dangerous.  Despite the fact that two previous U.S. Presidents had been assassinated, presidential security was still grossly insufficient. It was the ideal environment for anarchist Leon Czolgosz to enact his revenge.  Then, Brandi tells us an unsettling story about a deeply disturbed teenage boy. When Zachary Davis was just nine years old, his father died from ALS. His father’s death was understandably difficult on the young boy. He withdrew. He became quieter than ever before. Eventually, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and depressive disorder. Years later, as a teenager, Zachary brutally murdered his mother, Melanie Davis, then attempted to light the house of fire. The prosecution would argue that Zachary was cold-blooded. But the defense made a case for leniency. They said he was a disturbed young man who desperately needed mental health treatment. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “Czolgosz is to die,” The Fairmont News “Leon Czolgosz” entry for Wikipedia “James Benjamin Parker” entry for Wikipedia “Assassination of William McKinley” entry for Wikipedia In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “The Sledgehammer Killer -Zachary Davis” by Emily Thompson,http://morbidology.com “Zachary Davis: The Disturbing Story Of The 15-Year-Old Who Bludgeoned His Mother And Tried To Burn His Brother Alive” by William DeLong, All Things Interesting “Davis trial Day 3: Zachary Davis tells jurors ‘I didn’t do it’” by Tena Lee, Tennessean “Zachary Davis gets 20 more years in bludgeoning death of mother” by Tena Lee, Tennessean “Mentally Ill or Monster?” episode Dr. Phil

This week we dive headfirst into a strange time in America, we've covered parts of it in other episodes but this week we're finally tackling the assassination of President William McKinley by Leon Czolgosz, a Polish Immigrant who became an Anarchist after losing his factory job. This story has tons of layers, its a legit Tarantino type story and we can't wait to tell you all about it. Cousin Jonathan aka the redheaded Puerto Rican joins LP and I in studio. Enjoy!

I thought I'd start today's show off with a quote by Beverley Nichols from his book, Sunlight on the Lawn: “Why do insurance companies, when they want to describe an act of God, invariably pick on something which sounds much more like an act of the Devil? One would think that God was exclusively concerned in making hurricanes, smallpox, thunderbolts, and dry rot. They seem to forget that He also manufactures rainbows, apple-blossom, and Siamese kittens. However, that is, perhaps, a diversion.” This quote by Nichols came to mind when I heard the wondrous story about the little tomato plant that had sprouted on a piling by the Brooklyn Bridge. It made the Nightly News after the story was first published by the New York Times on Wednesday along with a photo taken by a passerby, Matthew Frey. Paddle-boarding between Pier 1 and 2 in Brooklyn Bridge Park, Frey saw the leaves first. His incredible image of a lone tomato plant growing straight up with no supports and with one perfectly red little tomato was heartwarming. It reminded me of the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree but with only one red ornament hanging proudly in the middle of the plant. Frey, who is 54, told the times:  “I’m used to seeing things grow here, but nothing as special as that... Things like that just make me happy.” Beverley Nichols would have loved seeing the little tomato plant that could. To him, it would have been heaven sent - a little gift to us all from above.     Brevities #OTD On this day in 1513, James IV of Scotland, along with other Flowers of the Forest, were killed in the battle of Flodden.   The Scottish army led by James, was taking advantage of Henry VIII's absence in France but they were resoundingly crushed by an army organized by Katherine of Aragon, Henry VIII's 1st wife. It was the largest battle ever fought between England & Scotland, and it was a devastating defeat for the Scots who remembered   the pain of an estimated 12,000 dead sons of Scotland in an old Scottish folksong called “The Flowers of the Forest.” There are many variations of the lyrics that have surfaced over the years. One of the oldest verses ends this way: "'The Flowers of the Forest that fought at the foremost, The prime of the land are cold in the clay'" In 1765, the socialite Alison Cockburn wrote her own lyrics to the Flowers of the Forest. Here's the first verse: I've seen the smiling Of fortune beguiling, I've tasted her pleasures And felt her decay; Sweet is her blessing, And kind her caressing, But now they are fled And fled far away.     #OTD  Today is the anniversary of the death of the botanist and the incomparable botanical illustrator Georg Dionysius Ehret who died on this day in 1770.   Ehret was born in Heidelberg, Germany to Ferdinand Christian Ehret, who was a gardener and also had a talent for drawing. He taught his son both skills- gardening and drawing - before he died. Ehret made his way to Regensburg. There, he met an apothecary who hired him to draw of specimens from his herbarium and garden. Ehret earnestly took on the job; drawing over 500 pieces in one year. Taking advantage of his young employee, the apothecary fired Ehret and told him he should have completed 1,000 drawings and was fired. It was basically his way of avoiding paying Ehret. After this dreadful experience, Ehret made his way to England and worked at the major botanical gardens - Including Chelsea Physic. Isaac Rand, the first director of the Chelsea Physic Garden in London, told Ehret to paint the rare plants in the garden. The uniqueness of the specimens added to the demand for Ehret's work. As a result, Ehret was on friendly terms with the plant collectors and naturalists of his time.  Chelsea was formative professionally and personally for Ehret; He married the head gardener's sister-in-law, Susanna Kennet.  In The Art of Botanical Illustration, Wilfrid Blunt noted that, “By the middle of the century he had become a popular figure in London society: the highest nobility in England clamored to receive instruction from him,”    Indeed, the wealthiest woman in England, Margaret Cavendish Bentinck, (the Duchess of Portland) gladly retained Ehret as a drawing instructor. Struck by the luminescence of his work, and ultimately she would buy over 300 of his paintings. In 1737,  Ehret was hired to draw by Sir Charles Wager, First Lord of the Admiralty.  In August of that year, Wagner's personal garden is where Ehret first observed the Magnolia grandiflora flowering. The bloom was so inspiring that Ehret walked for an hour each way, from Chelsea to Wagner's house (in Fulham), to see and sketch every stage of the Magnolia grandiflora;  from bud to full flower. Ehret's work provided the world with the first Magnolia to be illustrated in England. Beyond his work in England, Ehret traveled throughout Europe in pursuit of his craft. He  met Linnaeus in Holland when he was visiting the botanical garden in Leiden.  Linnaeus taught Ehret exactly how he wanted plants to be dissected and drawn. By this time, Ehret felt that his drawings were already aligned with Linnaeus, but the calibration didn't hurt; Ehret's work made it possible for Linnaeus to show the differences between plants for his books. When Linnaeus released his catalog of rare plants, "Hortus Cliffortianus," in 1737, it featured 20 meticulous plates made by Ehret. As a result of partnering with Linnaeus, Ehret understood plant structure on a level that rivaled most botanists. Ehret's style of drawing is referred to as the Linnaean style. Ehret's father could have never predicted the impact of teaching his son both gardening and drawing; but the two skills had come together in Ehret in a very special way. One expert wrote that, "[Ehret] was the greatest artist illustrator that Linnaeus had."   Today, Ehret's work is difficult to source. Given the rarity of an Ehret drawing, they are expensive to acquire; pieces generally start around $1k (if you can find one.) Just this year, the NYBG organized an exhibit called, "Georg Ehret: The Greatest Botanical Artist of the 1700s.” They featured 48 Ehret watercolors and engravings.   #OTD   Today is the birthday of James Arnold who was born on this day in 1781 and who was the namesake for Harvard's Arnold Arboretum. The Arnold Arboretum was the very first arboretum in the United States. Arnold was born to a Quaker family in Providence Rhode, Island. In 1807, Arnold married Sarah Rotch. Had Arnold not married Sarah, there would have probably never been an Arnold Arboretum. Sarah's father was part of a wealthy whaling family. Through his marriage to Sarah, Arnold eventually became a partner in his father-in-law's business. Arnold used his wealth to buy an 11-acre estate. There he built a mansion and installed beautiful gardens and lawns. The property was so stunning, that the Arnolds opened their gardens to the public on Sundays. It was a rare opportunity. The Unitarian minister, William Potter, called the Arnold estate, "a home the most conspicuous among all our homes for culture, for hospitality, for charity."   John Quincy Adams was a guest of the Arnolds in 1835 and 1843.  When Arnold died in 1868, he had outlived both his wife and daughter. As part of his will, he left $100,000 in the hands of threetrustees: Francis Parker, John James Dixwell, and George Emerson. Emerson and Dixwell were essential to the founding of the Arboretum because they personally knew Asa Gray at Harvard and they also knew that Harvard wanted a Botanic Garden. When the arrangements for the arboretum were finally settled, the instructions were to collect every kind of tree and shrub that would grow outdoors in Massachusetts.  In 1873, Charles Sprague Sargent was hired to be the Arnold Arboretum director - a position he would hold for over four decades. His vision combined with the stability provided by his long leadership, established a solid foundation for the Arnold Arboretum. With the gift from James Arnold, the Arboretum had the means; and with the leadership of Sargent, it had the expertise. Both were needed to create the world-class arboretum we enjoy today.     Unearthed Words This week I'm going to do a special tribute to the author Beverley Nichols, who was born on this day in 1898.  Nichols is remembered for his writing and his love of gardening and cats. Nichols wrote over 60 books - but he is best remembered for his gardening books. In 1932, Nichol's wrote Down the Garden Path. It became an instant best seller on both sides of the Atlantic. In the book, Nichols wrote about his 1928 purchase of a weekend retreat; a thatched cottage in the village of Glatton. Nichols knew nothing about gardening when he bought the cottage, so he shared every discovery and disaster in his books. Based on the positive response to his first book, Nichols wrote two more books on his Glatton experiences. The second book   was “A Thatched Roof” (released in 1933) and the third was “A Village in a Valley” (released in 1934). The books are referred to as “The Glatton Trilogy” or “The Allways Chronicles.” Here are some excerpts from Nichol's first book, Down the Garden Path: “...a cyclamen that looks like a flight of butterflies, frozen for a single, exquisite moment in the white heart of Time...” “It was not till I experimented with seeds plucked straight from a growing plant that I had my first success...the first thrill of creation...the first taste of blood. This, surely, must be akin to the pride of paternity...indeed, many soured bachelors would wager that it must be almost as wonderful to see the first tiny crinkled leaves of one's first plant as to see the tiny crinkled face of one's first child.” “I had never ‘taken a cutting’ before… .Do you not realize that the whole thing is miraculous? It is exactly as though you were to cut off your wife’s leg, stick it in the lawn, and be greeted on the following day by an entirely new woman, sprung from the leg, advancing across the lawn to meet you.”      Today's book recommendation: The Proven Winners Garden Book by Ruth Rogers Clausen and Thomas Christopher   This book is the ultimate gardening guide for all reader levels.

If you are a new gardener, this book will be your bible for getting started in the right way, maximizing your effort,  avoiding hours of research on plants and design; helping  you achieve stunning results in a single season.   Today's Garden Chore Start saving seeds and make cuttings of the plants you want to increase for next year.  Focus on your top performers and sentimental favorites in order to cultivate even better stock next year. Stay active in your garden now - don't leave the best of this year's garden to history.       Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart On this day in 1903, the Akron Beacon Journal out of Akron, Ohio announced Carnation Day.  Here's what it said: "The Anniversary of President McKinley's Death Will be Noted by the Wearing of His Favorite Flower by Akron Citizens. Next Monday will be the second anniversary of the death of President McKinley, and has been called "Red Carnation day," in honor of his favorite flower. President McKinley was shot by Leon Czolgosz, in the Temple of Music at the Buffalo exposition, September 6, 1901. The shooting occurred late in the afternoon and inside of an hour, every man, woman, and child within reach of the telegraph instrument heard the sorrowful news, and were sending up prayers for the recovery of the president. After the shooting, President McKinley was taken to the home of John G. Milburn, president of the exposition company, where he lingered; while hopeful and then depressing bulletins were issued from his bedside, until finally on September 14, he passed from life. Last year the president's favorite flower was worn by hundreds in this city, and it is expected that next Monday will see nearly every one wearing the flower that usually adorned the lapel of the third martyr president."     Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

1522 Victoria Becomes the First Ship to Circumnavigate the World. The Spanish ship, which was commanded by the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, set sail from Spain September 20, 1519, to find a better route to Indonesia. The expedition began with 5 ships including Victoria and 260 crew members. Magellan himself died during the voyage. After three years and 42,000 miles only the Victoria manned by 18 crew members would return to Seville, Spain, after circumnavigating the world. 1870 A Woman casts her Vote in the US for the first time. Louisa Ann Swain voted during state elections in the state of Wyoming. Although women weren't extended the right to vote in the US until 1920, the governor of Wyoming, John A. Campbell, had signed a bill that gave women the right to vote on December 13, 1869. This meant that women could vote in local and state elections, but not country-wide elections. 1901 President William McKinley assassinated. Visiting the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, half a year into his second term, US President William McKinley is shot twice by anarchist Leon Czolgosz. The president rose slightly on his toes before collapsing forward, saying “be careful how you tell my wife.” McKinley will at first survive, and even seem to be improving after doctors operate, but will succumb to his wounds on September 14. McKinley died from gangrene that had gone undetected in the internal wound. Vice President Theodore Roosevelt was immediately sworn in as president. Czolgosz claimed to have killed McKinley because he was the head of what he thought was a corrupt government. Czolgosz was convicted and executed in an electric chair on October 29, 1901. The unrepentant killer's last words were “I killed the president because he was the enemy of the good people—the working people.” 1968 Swaziland Gains Independence From the British. The Southern African state became a British protectorate in 1902 after the Anglo-Boer war. King Sobhuza became the head of the nation in and reigned even after independence until 1982. He was succeeded by Mswati III, his son, who currently rules the country. 1976 Lieutenant Viktor Belenko, a Soviet air force pilot defects, flying a MiG-25 jet fighter to Japan and requesting political asylum in US. George H. W. Bush, the Director of Central Intelligence at the time, called the opportunity to examine the plane up close an "intelligence bonanza" for the West. Belenko almost never appears in interviews. However, in a brief and informal bar interview in 2000 where he posed for pictures and responded to questions, he stated that he was happy in the United States, remarking that "[Americans] have tolerance regarding other people's opinion. In certain cultures, if you do not accept the mainstream, you would be booted out or might disappear. Here we have people, you know, who hug trees, and people who want to cut them down -- and they live side by side!" 1995 Cal Ripken Jr. breaks Lou Gehrig's record. The Baltimore Orioles' shortstop plays in his 2,131st consecutive game, breaking Lou Gehrig's record which had stood since 1939. Ripken will continue his streak for three more years, ending it in 1998 after 2,632 games played over 16 years.

The Kennedy assassination was the first of a president done with a firearm that resulted in death since William McKinley. McKinley was cut down by Leon Czolgosz's bullets in 1901 at the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. In this podcast you'll hear the actual Dallas Police dictabelt recording of the assassination of President Kennedy in Downtown Dallas on November 22, 1963. In 1966 a University of Texas student named Charles Whitman gunned down numerous Austin area residents and university students. His heinous acts were committed atop the campus clock tower on its observation deck. In this podcast you'll hear the audio of shots fired as well as national news report commentary. We have a history of gun violence in this country that continues today. As our society and our culture continue their slide into degradation and rot, American victims of gun violence are those who suffer. A lack of faith in God in modern America is manifesting itself. Lunatics with mental health problems are killing the best of us. In this podcast we memorialize and pray for the victims of the two most recent mass shootings to occur in this country. While millions of Americans pray for the victims and their families, the Leftist media puts on a pathetic spectacle. Political hack politicians join their media friends to push a narrative of blame on President Trump. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. These victims' bodies are not even in the ground yet, but the political grandstanding continues. Taking advantage of the tragedy that befell Dayton and El Paso, liberal politicians and their media mouthpieces ram the "Trump is a Racist" lie down our throats.

In this episode we start in the 1980s, a decade rich in the excesses of sugar and money, to discuss the parallel alcoholic trends of the day (spoiler alert: they involve sugar and money). Instead of doing a bunch of artisanal cocaine to celebrate the era of Stephanie’s scandal we opt for a shockingly frou-frou yet surprisingly delicious episode cocktail (https://www.beyondreproachpod.com/the-cocktails/2018/12/17/episode-5-blue-hawaiian) . It was as tacky as it was delicious! Cheers! Also covered: 5 dollar words, Stephanie’s Italian language bootcamp, Tux’s cross country road trip with his best friend, home-schooling, our mutual love of Gladwell’s Revisionist History podcast, and Thomas Edison loving current so much he should marry it.

Welcome back to The Emancipation Podcast Station - the place to hear about history researched and retold through the eyes of Middle school and HS students. Last time on the show…   Today we discuss The age of empire. Let’s dive in. Was he a good president? Why or why not? William McKinley - Presidential Podcast  Gabe - McKinley was the 25th president of the united states he stayed in presidency until assassinated in his second term. He lead america to victory in the spanish american war and was the last president to be in the civil war he also was the only president in the war as an enlisted soldier He raised protective tariffs for the industries. He also maintained the gold standard and we cant even do that today.   Skylar - William mckinley was born January 29th, 1843 in Niles, Ohio. He was apart of the republican party. He became president on march 4th, 1897. While he was president the United States army won a few great wars, like Gabe said. After Mckinley served one term he was elected president again to serve his second and last term. Mckinley was shot on september 6th, 1901 by Leon Czolgosz who shot him in the stomach twice while shaking his hand. -Ethan- McKinley widely supported the Dingley Tariff to guard the manufacturing companies from foreign companies. He also tried to get Spain to give Cuba independence but negotiations went awry and thus began the Spanish-American War in 1898. The US won quickly and got some of Spain’s oversea colonies like Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. Cuba was planned to have independence but for the time being stayed under control of the US Army. The US had just annexed Hawaii. - Blake - Before William McKinley became President he was not only the Governor of Ohio but he was the last President to serve in the Civil War. Before the end of the Civil War McKinley was able to reach the rank of Brevet Major in which he only referred to himself as his rank as he felt that was the only thing he was sure of. He was also a accomplished lawyer in which he took a case no one would take and he got every defendant off except one. Ben- One of the popular events including Mckinley was the mountain that used to be named after him. They renamed it to the traditional Native American name, “Denali” people thought it was fitting because William Mckinley never saw the mountain or Alaska, the state it was in. Mckinley was very fond of the working class, like farmers and other, he respected their work and their way of doing things.William mckinley was also the reason the secret service was created, he was the third president ot be assasinated. This pushed the US government to create a protection service for people of importance. But something that some people may not know about the secret service is that half of their work is about preventing counterfeit currency and bank fraud. 6.Ricky-william McKinley was assassinated on September 19, 1901 when as Skylar said in the stomach while shaking Leon Czolgosz hand. Leon Czolgosz was born in Alpena Michigan in 1873 to a family of eight and was bullied by his peers when he was a kid. As he grew up he and his brother worked steel for a . But in the crash of 1893 the factory closed for some time. Leon was a anarchist supporter and killed president McKinley with a .32S&W revolver, look it up. 7.Elijah- William McKinley was first Governor of ohio and then President. He was the last President to serve in the Civil War. When he was 18 he served as a private in infantry and was the youngest in his group. AT 50 years of age Mckinley became President and was assassinated in 1901 on his second term.   8. Introduction to the age of empire  Gabe - this started when we stopped isolationism which george washington told us to do and we did for 100 years but from 1898 1901 we grabbed cuba hawaii guam puerto rico and the philippines between 1870 and 1890 all the massive powers were getting colonies for resources so we also started so we didn't get left in the dust we also need those resources such as diamonds gold timber oil rubber and all sorts of more resources So we went for them which started the age of empire 2.-Ethan- Like I said before the US got a lot of places from Spain. But through most of this, the entire world was trying to get as much land as possible. America wasn’t participating at the time but they were like “oh no, we can’t get left behind” so they started competing for land too. - Blake - This time period is when the United States start to become a true super power as shortly after the Spanish-American war the U.S. had gained quite a bit of territory. 4.Ben- A lot of conflicts in the world are because of land. Maybe one side wants land while the other needs to defend it. Or maybe they’re trying to take back land from previous wars.I think it’s called the age of empire because every empire was expanding or shrinking. 5.Ricky-basically a time when we completely ditched the idea of isolationism and developed Allies like Britain. Skylar - The United States seen that other countries were gaining power and the wanted to do so as well. Europe and Asia were gaining more land. Like they said the united states gained Cuba, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. 7.Hunter- this war was kind of a fight for territory and the early americans thought that spain sunk the USS. Maine by sabotaging it and then we declared war on spain. 8..Elijah-At the time United states moved more towards imperialism and less towards isolationism. This was because of the fall of manifest destiny and moving more towards taking other countries. The United States took land such as Cuba, Hawaii, Puerto rico and the Philippines. The age of empire  Gabe - As i stated before the age of empire was when we went and grabbed colonies and land for resources and so did the rest of the major powers. But there was no land to grab so they need to do what this to mahan says he says that they need a way to cross from the pacific to atlantic and vice versa they need ports everywhere and there going to need a powerful navy and in 1914 they put 140 million dollars into their navy - Blake - With the gain of this new land the U.S. needed a use for it and they had the perfect use. By that time the Navy wasn’t very powerful and was described as “Five leaky boats”. Although we had access to both the Pacific and Atlantic ocean’s we still couldn’t make big trips across seas as our ports were along the coastline. 3.-Ethan- Since Cuba was kind of ‘unoccupied’ at the moment, rebels started to mess with the Spanish owners of Cuba. The Cuban even blew up an American warship which caused American retaliation. Thus started the Spanish American War. Ben- Something clicked within the empires to cause them to all kinda take more land, most of the reasons were because of raw materials like things in africa, you could see some places like france claiming land in africa for the materials to bring back to their main country, england did a lot of this too, and some places fought for land in china. 5.Elijah- The age of the empire were the days of imperialism. We have taken over small islands such as Guam and Hawaii. As America expands the American Navy expands. America was looking outward to expansion and getting more resources. Cuba was the point that started the Spanish American War. Skylar - The Age of Empire was basically just trying to grab all the land that wasn’t claimed yet. They wanted this land to find its natural resources to make money. The United states was seeing two of the biggest , most powerful continents, Asia and Europe claiming all this land and using their resources. 7.Hunter- the age of empire for america was to gain land and allies. 8. The Spanish-American War  Gabe - Again as i said in the introduction to the age of empire we wanted to expand so we went to war with the spanish and won because we outnumbered them greatly and we took cuba guam puerto rico and philippines. - Blake - The Spanish-American War started out pretty stupid as the USS Maine had exploded off the coast of Cuba which was under rule from Spain it was most likely from a malfunction but Americans still believed it was from Spain. -Ethan- The War only lasted 6 week and the US of course won. Theodore Roosevelt was part of a troop called the Rough Riders. He helped rally quite a few of the Rough Riders’ troopers. The Rough Riders wouldn’t have stood a chance if the African-American troops didn’t assist.The Spaniards could try, fight, and muster all their troops, but they were no match for the US military’s new ships. The US decimated Spain’s fleet as quickly as you can imagine a ship battle going down. 4.Ben- Like Blake said, it was kinda stupid to immediately think that Spain did it, but i think America just wanted some kind of excuse to fight spain and claim Cuba. Then a bit after when the filipinos realized that America was no better than Spain at controlling their land, the rebeled. 5.Ricky-when ‘merica won the war they said they would not claim Cuba. But in a way they did. 6..Elijah- When the USS Maine blew up America blamed Spain sense the ship was at cuba at the time. This seemed like a act of terrorism sense most americans did not have all of the information. This war only lasted 6 weeks and the US won the war. The Rough Riders were a group that were fighting but most of them actually did not ride horses. Skylar - The United States declared war on Spain on April 11th, 1898. The United States were too much for Spain to handle. The army Roosevelt had put together were “armed and dangerous” and were not going down without a fight. That’s exactly what they did. The war ended only four months and one day later, August 12th, 1898. 8.Hunter- what started this war was the tragedy of the USS. Maine the americans thought that spain had something to do with it so we declared war and gained land and allies on top of it all. The Progressive Era  Gabe - In the progressive era which was around 1890s to 1920s there were im going to say movements cause there were a few on making life for industrial workers better they wanted to eliminate “unfair” business choices the definition of fair is actually playing by the rules and those were the rules so it wasn't necessarily unfair but it was hard for the people. In this era people got better protections women got the right to vote and consumers strengthened. - Blake - The Progressive Era was an era which came with a lot of industry changes and amendments during this time period such as the sixthteenth amendment, the seventeenth, the eighteenth and the nineteenth. -Ethan- The Progressive Era had a dark side, because they also promoted discrimination. The Wilson Administration supported modernity and progress in the world but they tried for segregation of government. Wilson’s presidency had a brief bringback of the Ku Klux Klan(or KKK) which was widely known as mostly racist to black people. 4.Elijah- The Progressive Era was a time that was wanting progress in society and business. In the 1890s to 1920s the Progressive Era was filled with reformers trying to help make public education, make businesses be more regulated and stop monopolies from taking over. The goal was to move forward. This was also the time of prohibition.   Ben- We’ve seen a lot of industrialization throughout the 19th-20th century as different countries develop technology and advance the stuff we already had. The progressive era really pushed the world’s inventors, as factories were made and different machines were created to make farming and other jobs easier, changing the industry and eventually turning it into what we have today. But as business was booming there were many corrupt businessmen, putting profit over morals.   6.Ricky-we changed a lot during this time politically and in the industry. Skylar - Like it says in the name the progressive era was an era between 1890 and 1920 that was full of progress. Women finally got the right to vote which was a pretty big deal. But like Ethan said it did have a dark side. 8.Hunter- this era was in the late 19th century to the early 20th this era aimed toward a better society. During this era protections for workers were strengthened, and women finally got the right to vote.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             The presidency of Theodore Roosevelt - AND THE PRESIDENTIAL PODCAST Skylar - Theodore Roosevelt was born on October 27th, 1858 in Manhattan, New York City, New York. His family was very wealthy hence he lived in Manhattan $$$$$. Before he was president he was a writer. He was also known as Teddy, short for Theodore. He was elected president in 1904 after former president William Mckinley was killed. “Teddy” was apart of the republican party. Roosevelt wanted a stronger army and navy and wanted to increase American intervention in Latin America by putting out the "Roosevelt Corollary" and the Monroe Doctrine and constructing the Panama Canal. He was the youngest man to ever be president at 42 years old. - Blake - After Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt's presidency he went on a expedition in the African Savannah. Shortly after he returned he despised how the newest president William Howard Taft had handled things and ultimately reran for office with a new party he created called the Progressive Republican Party (also known as the Bull Moose Party) but the public was split between Taft and Roosevelt and ultimately Woodrow Wilson won the 1912 election. -Ethan- Roosevelt like I said before was a Rough Rider which was one of the Navy’s troops at the time. Roosevelt passed a couple acts as president like any other president. 1 of them was the Emergency Banking Relief, which allowed the US government to study the banks’ finances to see when they should re-open them.  A little something interesting on when he died. Roosevelt died in his sleep and his Vice President, Thomas R. Marshall, said “Death had to take while he was sleeping, because there would have been a fight if he was awake”. 4.Elijah- Theodore Roosevelt also know as “teddy roosevelt” was a man of many talents and ideas. He was a game hunter, a writer and a guy that earned his face on Mount Rushmore. He started his own party known as the Bull Moose Party the Progressive Republican Party. He lost his mother and Wife on the same day. He had someone try to assassinate him in 1912. He was the first president to win a nobel peace prize in 1906. Ben- Theodore was the vice president during William Mckinley’s presidency, but once William tragically died, Theodore Roosevelt became president. Theodore’s story is a sad one, though. His mother and his wife died on the same day that his son was born. Ricky-Theodore Roosevelt was 26th president of the united states of america from September 14, 1901 to March 4, 1909. Fun fact, he had a son named Kermit. 7.Hunter- Theodore Roosevelt was president from 1901-1909 he was the 26th president after the assassination of William  McKinley. Muckrakers  Gabe - The Muckrakers were the fake news paparazzi of that day not always fake news but the exaggerated a lot to get to the people they were writing to. Sinclair a muckraker was writing about how terrible conditions in the meatpacking industry and how the meat was contaminated and how hard it was even so that they had to make a meat inspection act and a pure food act and a drug Act of 1906 because someone exaggerated in a book yes it was hard but not enough for you to convince them to make a meat inspection act Come on that's the same as saying they were not paid enough so the whole nation is paying millions to some people who pack meat. - Blake - Jacob Riis was a Danish immigrant who had made good friends with then President of the Police of New York City Theodore Roosevelt which he would talk to and get information in their talks which helped publish Muckraker stories.-   -Ethan- The term Muckraker came from Roosevelt’s speech where he said “the men with the muck rakes are often indispensable to the well being of society; but only if they know to stop raking the muck. In this ‘Raking the muck’ references the work of journalists who, as Gabe said, brought in fake news or Muck. Elijah- Muckrakers was first used as a derogatory term for journalists that were pushing for change but really just not doing much. But when this name came out the journalists used this as a term for themselves because they said that these issues mattered and they are bringing out the muck on these compRanies.     5.Ricky-Muckrakers (like Piper in fallout 4) are basically propaganda spreaders. They go for trying to expose this big government secret, or stuff like that. Ben- During the progressive era, many businessmen were corrupt, so the Muckrakers were people trying to show the world how corrupt they were. This later caused the food and drug act, which inspected foods to make sure they were safe for consumption. Skylar - Muckrakers wanted to expose people who had business that were doing well. They wanted to find the dirt in any company that was successful. Like Ethan said the term came from Theodore Roosevelt.Muckrakers were like everyone said drama queens, ‘’fake news’’, or people who exaggerate the media. They just talked a little ‘’ muck ‘’ as said in their name. Hunter- these guys are drama kings and queens the news was highly exaggerated any business that was successful they tried to get shut down.   That’s all we have time for today. Thanks for joining us in this emancipation from the box, that is learning.

Welcome back to The Emancipation Podcast Station - the place to hear about history researched and retold through the eyes of Middle school and HS students. Last time on the show…   Today we discuss The age of empire. Let’s dive in. Was he a good president? Why or why not? William McKinley - Presidential Podcast  Gabe - McKinley was the 25th president of the united states he stayed in presidency until assassinated in his second term. He lead america to victory in the spanish american war and was the last president to be in the civil war he also was the only president in the war as an enlisted soldier He raised protective tariffs for the industries. He also maintained the gold standard and we cant even do that today.   Skylar - William mckinley was born January 29th, 1843 in Niles, Ohio. He was apart of the republican party. He became president on march 4th, 1897. While he was president the United States army won a few great wars, like Gabe said. After Mckinley served one term he was elected president again to serve his second and last term. Mckinley was shot on september 6th, 1901 by Leon Czolgosz who shot him in the stomach twice while shaking his hand. -Ethan- McKinley widely supported the Dingley Tariff to guard the manufacturing companies from foreign companies. He also tried to get Spain to give Cuba independence but negotiations went awry and thus began the Spanish-American War in 1898. The US won quickly and got some of Spain’s oversea colonies like Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. Cuba was planned to have independence but for the time being stayed under control of the US Army. The US had just annexed Hawaii. - Blake - Before William McKinley became President he was not only the Governor of Ohio but he was the last President to serve in the Civil War. Before the end of the Civil War McKinley was able to reach the rank of Brevet Major in which he only referred to himself as his rank as he felt that was the only thing he was sure of. He was also a accomplished lawyer in which he took a case no one would take and he got every defendant off except one. Ben- One of the popular events including Mckinley was the mountain that used to be named after him. They renamed it to the traditional Native American name, “Denali” people thought it was fitting because William Mckinley never saw the mountain or Alaska, the state it was in. Mckinley was very fond of the working class, like farmers and other, he respected their work and their way of doing things.William mckinley was also the reason the secret service was created, he was the third president ot be assasinated. This pushed the US government to create a protection service for people of importance. But something that some people may not know about the secret service is that half of their work is about preventing counterfeit currency and bank fraud. 6.Ricky-william McKinley was assassinated on September 19, 1901 when as Skylar said in the stomach while shaking Leon Czolgosz hand. Leon Czolgosz was born in Alpena Michigan in 1873 to a family of eight and was bullied by his peers when he was a kid. As he grew up he and his brother worked steel for a . But in the crash of 1893 the factory closed for some time. Leon was a anarchist supporter and killed president McKinley with a .32S&W revolver, look it up. 7.Elijah- William McKinley was first Governor of ohio and then President. He was the last President to serve in the Civil War. When he was 18 he served as a private in infantry and was the youngest in his group. AT 50 years of age Mckinley became President and was assassinated in 1901 on his second term.   8. Introduction to the age of empire  Gabe - this started when we stopped isolationism which george washington told us to do and we did for 100 years but from 1898 1901 we grabbed cuba hawaii guam puerto rico and the philippines between 1870 and 1890 all the massive powers were getting colonies for resources so we also started so we didn't get left in the dust we also need those resources such as diamonds gold timber oil rubber and all sorts of more resources So we went for them which started the age of empire 2.-Ethan- Like I said before the US got a lot of places from Spain. But through most of this, the entire world was trying to get as much land as possible. America wasn’t participating at the time but they were like “oh no, we can’t get left behind” so they started competing for land too. - Blake - This time period is when the United States start to become a true super power as shortly after the Spanish-American war the U.S. had gained quite a bit of territory. 4.Ben- A lot of conflicts in the world are because of land. Maybe one side wants land while the other needs to defend it. Or maybe they’re trying to take back land from previous wars.I think it’s called the age of empire because every empire was expanding or shrinking. 5.Ricky-basically a time when we completely ditched the idea of isolationism and developed Allies like Britain. Skylar - The United States seen that other countries were gaining power and the wanted to do so as well. Europe and Asia were gaining more land. Like they said the united states gained Cuba, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. 7.Hunter- this war was kind of a fight for territory and the early americans thought that spain sunk the USS. Maine by sabotaging it and then we declared war on spain. 8..Elijah-At the time United states moved more towards imperialism and less towards isolationism. This was because of the fall of manifest destiny and moving more towards taking other countries. The United States took land such as Cuba, Hawaii, Puerto rico and the Philippines. The age of empire  Gabe - As i stated before the age of empire was when we went and grabbed colonies and land for resources and so did the rest of the major powers. But there was no land to grab so they need to do what this to mahan says he says that they need a way to cross from the pacific to atlantic and vice versa they need ports everywhere and there going to need a powerful navy and in 1914 they put 140 million dollars into their navy - Blake - With the gain of this new land the U.S. needed a use for it and they had the perfect use. By that time the Navy wasn’t very powerful and was described as “Five leaky boats”. Although we had access to both the Pacific and Atlantic ocean’s we still couldn’t make big trips across seas as our ports were along the coastline. 3.-Ethan- Since Cuba was kind of ‘unoccupied’ at the moment, rebels started to mess with the Spanish owners of Cuba. The Cuban even blew up an American warship which caused American retaliation. Thus started the Spanish American War. Ben- Something clicked within the empires to cause them to all kinda take more land, most of the reasons were because of raw materials like things in africa, you could see some places like france claiming land in africa for the materials to bring back to their main country, england did a lot of this too, and some places fought for land in china. 5.Elijah- The age of the empire were the days of imperialism. We have taken over small islands such as Guam and Hawaii. As America expands the American Navy expands. America was looking outward to expansion and getting more resources. Cuba was the point that started the Spanish American War. Skylar - The Age of Empire was basically just trying to grab all the land that wasn’t claimed yet. They wanted this land to find its natural resources to make money. The United states was seeing two of the biggest , most powerful continents, Asia and Europe claiming all this land and using their resources. 7.Hunter- the age of empire for america was to gain land and allies. 8. The Spanish-American War  Gabe - Again as i said in the introduction to the age of empire we wanted to expand so we went to war with the spanish and won because we outnumbered them greatly and we took cuba guam puerto rico and philippines. - Blake - The Spanish-American War started out pretty stupid as the USS Maine had exploded off the coast of Cuba which was under rule from Spain it was most likely from a malfunction but Americans still believed it was from Spain. -Ethan- The War only lasted 6 week and the US of course won. Theodore Roosevelt was part of a troop called the Rough Riders. He helped rally quite a few of the Rough Riders’ troopers. The Rough Riders wouldn’t have stood a chance if the African-American troops didn’t assist.The Spaniards could try, fight, and muster all their troops, but they were no match for the US military’s new ships. The US decimated Spain’s fleet as quickly as you can imagine a ship battle going down. 4.Ben- Like Blake said, it was kinda stupid to immediately think that Spain did it, but i think America just wanted some kind of excuse to fight spain and claim Cuba. Then a bit after when the filipinos realized that America was no better than Spain at controlling their land, the rebeled. 5.Ricky-when ‘merica won the war they said they would not claim Cuba. But in a way they did. 6..Elijah- When the USS Maine blew up America blamed Spain sense the ship was at cuba at the time. This seemed like a act of terrorism sense most americans did not have all of the information. This war only lasted 6 weeks and the US won the war. The Rough Riders were a group that were fighting but most of them actually did not ride horses. Skylar - The United States declared war on Spain on April 11th, 1898. The United States were too much for Spain to handle. The army Roosevelt had put together were “armed and dangerous” and were not going down without a fight. That’s exactly what they did. The war ended only four months and one day later, August 12th, 1898. 8.Hunter- what started this war was the tragedy of the USS. Maine the americans thought that spain had something to do with it so we declared war and gained land and allies on top of it all. The Progressive Era  Gabe - In the progressive era which was around 1890s to 1920s there were im going to say movements cause there were a few on making life for industrial workers better they wanted to eliminate “unfair” business choices the definition of fair is actually playing by the rules and those were the rules so it wasn't necessarily unfair but it was hard for the people. In this era people got better protections women got the right to vote and consumers strengthened. - Blake - The Progressive Era was an era which came with a lot of industry changes and amendments during this time period such as the sixthteenth amendment, the seventeenth, the eighteenth and the nineteenth. -Ethan- The Progressive Era had a dark side, because they also promoted discrimination. The Wilson Administration supported modernity and progress in the world but they tried for segregation of government. Wilson’s presidency had a brief bringback of the Ku Klux Klan(or KKK) which was widely known as mostly racist to black people. 4.Elijah- The Progressive Era was a time that was wanting progress in society and business. In the 1890s to 1920s the Progressive Era was filled with reformers trying to help make public education, make businesses be more regulated and stop monopolies from taking over. The goal was to move forward. This was also the time of prohibition.   Ben- We’ve seen a lot of industrialization throughout the 19th-20th century as different countries develop technology and advance the stuff we already had. The progressive era really pushed the world’s inventors, as factories were made and different machines were created to make farming and other jobs easier, changing the industry and eventually turning it into what we have today. But as business was booming there were many corrupt businessmen, putting profit over morals.   6.Ricky-we changed a lot during this time politically and in the industry. Skylar - Like it says in the name the progressive era was an era between 1890 and 1920 that was full of progress. Women finally got the right to vote which was a pretty big deal. But like Ethan said it did have a dark side. 8.Hunter- this era was in the late 19th century to the early 20th this era aimed toward a better society. During this era protections for workers were strengthened, and women finally got the right to vote.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             The presidency of Theodore Roosevelt - AND THE PRESIDENTIAL PODCAST Skylar - Theodore Roosevelt was born on October 27th, 1858 in Manhattan, New York City, New York.

In 1881, a man killed the President of the United States. In 1901, another man killed another President of the United States. Grant teaches us about these two: their motivations, their preparations, their trials, and the effects of their acts. Is assassination a part of American politics? How do such different people meet at the same conclusion? Links!
