Stop with the political comments; it tarnishes your commentary.

23:19)Abraham Lincoln II also had a doctor, with dirty hands, putting his fingers into the bullet hole. Booth often slept in that bed.

You know James A. Garfield was present of the US for 200 days.
Friday, 4 March 1881
Monday, 19 September 1881
@adamr4198 Says:
As an Ohioan many of our Presidents fall short of greatness. I want to believe Garfield had the potential for greatness.
@jessemajalca5235 Says:
ifeel the black sentiment for blacks are still here same as 1860s...the same for hispanics and for whites...why call it racism anymore...just impartiality. people more comfortable with people who look like themselves,,,,not a sin in my book....shall i go to heaven when im forced to marry a black woman???
@jessemajalca5235 Says:
was not about slavery.....very wrong
@bionicleanime Says:
Just like Robert F Kennedy after him, we were robbed of a great us president.

11:00 Andrew Jackson cameo!!!!!😲😲
@CheckThisOut77 Says:
The Garfield National Historic Site in Mentor, OH is excellent. It contains the first Presidential Library and original items throughout. Highly recommended.
@RobertEWaters Says:
You left out one detail: Garfield gave the nominating speech at the convention for Sherman. But he had been kept so busy that he had no opportunity to write a speech! He delivered the speech extemporaneously- and was so eloquent that it played a significant role in stampeding the convention.
I wonder whether Doctor Doctor Bliss was Joseph Heller's inspiration for the character of the inept Major Major in CATCH-22!
@bionicleanime Says:
Garfield is also the only president elected that only served in the lower chamber of Congress, House of Representatives.
@rad4924 Says:
First President to be killed for trying to fight against the deep state. There, I said it.
@mattthesilent777RED Says:
I'd like a word with Charles Guiteau
@johnschuh8616 Says:
Indeed one of the ablest men every to be president, almost on the same intellectual level as Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Despite his reservations about blacks, he was still a champion of civil rights. Had he served two terms it is likely he would have been strong enough to do what Harrison was unable to do which was the keep the Party from abandoning the cause of the blacks in the South.
@scottaznavourian3720 Says:
The irony is guitteaus plan ultimately failed cause even though arthur became president arthur (who he presumed would reinstate the spoils orogram) comtinueed garfields plan.
@PinkyJujubean Says:
It's Friday night and I could be out partying and getting drunk. Instead I'm sitting at home alone in my underwear eating ice cream and watching a biography of James Garfield. I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing
@jamesc21051979 Says:
Don't forget he was just a few years short of x ray
@Zone47. Says:
He and Washington are the only presidents I can think of with the greatest qualification for the job. They didn’t want it.

@daveowens271 Says:
Andrew JOHNSON'S impeachment. Not Jackson.
@LendriMujina Says:
He does at least seem to be getting vindicated by history in recent years due to being the fiery abolitionist that he was, at least in discussions that I've seen.

Interesting character if anything he is 21 century politician he’d fit in today. Nothing truly remarkable
@ttrestle Says:
A man shot Garfield, but the doctors killed him. Hard to believe that they still thought bad air was the culprit and that you shouldn’t dig your fingers into a hole over and over again by multiple people after someone has been shot. I can’t believe that it took 80 days for this dude to die. Those must’ve been the most excruciating 80 days of his life.
@ttrestle Says:
Outstanding video. My only critique is that I wish you would’ve gone into it just a little more history about the assassin who shot him in terms of how he was a failure at everything he tried, including the free, love commune, being a preacher, etc.
@juanandresvides2749 Says:
I remember that Cartoon Network’s MAD of all things referenced this president
@user-yp9fb1jb6m Says:
Want to end corruption? You might get murdered. The deep state doesn't mess around. Ask Trump. Couldn't kill him so they used every trick in the book. I wouldn't vote for him, but he scared the crap out of the swamp.
@vincentjacobsson3981 Says:
I think it should be investigated if the American states now and then are legislated with the Bible written as a story. The word immunity (Latin immunitas, freedom from obligations to the state) comes from a religious revelation from the middle ages, most likely from a pope to become lawless, and which has since been rewritten into sovereign, absolute, and qualified immunity (legally, cannot be prosecuted for criminal act) to the president, senate (origin, the Roman Empire), congress, cabinet, and Supreme Court for law decisions and actions. The political exploitation of the vital ecosystem has led to forest death, how will that affect people's economy, etc?
I also think The Democratic party can be a consciously misleading party name with all parties belonging to The Republican party, as current political democracy and socialism can only be about going more toward the middle, eg. The Democrats for law decisions and actions, even with the misleading word professional politician.
Furthermore, I think the people should consider voting for a real democratic party with an independent state formation to investigate if the president, parties, senate (origin, the Roman Empire), congress, cabinet, and Supreme Court overall may be guilty of a violation of democratic rights with misleading elections, economic crimes, violation of human rights with class society for adults and children, and serious environmental crime (force majeure).

"their corner of the world". LOL I love the inadvertent relegation of Americans into a bumpkin corner.
Great video... we love to hear stuff like that.
No BS. Exceptional job.
@teamcrossover2483 Says:
Fun Fact I just found: Garfield cat was named after the creator of Garfield comic strip's father, who was named after president Garfield
@LethalBubbles Says:
why is it always the good ones
@nolananderson4782 Says:
Never trust a doctor whose name is "Doctor".
@JervisGermane Says:
He's a little better remembered among those of us from the same religious tradition.
@kennym.4664 Says:
The entire story of President Garfield, Charles Guiteau, and the longest assassination in modern history is pretty astonishing, even for the time. This video barely scratches the surface of the abhorrent behavior of the doctor, from both a medical standpoint and a moral one.
Nowhere in this video was Alexander Graham Bell mentioned, who invented what would be known as the x-ray machine in order to find the bullet, only to be told by Dr. Bliss that only the left side of Garfield's body could be examined--the right side was off limits, only to find out during the autopsy that the bullet had traveled and lodged on his right side.
The story is detailed in "The Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine, and the Murder of a President" by Candice Millard. It's a great read, but obviously, you will walk away mortified by what President Garfield had to endure and everything that he was denied by his doctor.

A republican who was anti slavery. Times have changed
@keithdavison2960 Says:
Whaaaat corruption backstabbing lies ! America surely not
@MERIC_12 Says:
We honestly need to see a video on Andrew Jackson, that would be a roller coaster worth riding.
@guerocoolero53 Says:
Guiteaus speech probably sounded like the speech Charlie wrote for Dennis so he could get on the city council or whatever it was.
@Naltddesha Says:
I love this channel, but good god, the ads are absolutely relentless
@TheAeroAvatar Says:
Would've been fascinating to know what history would have looked like if Garfield survived to serve an entire term, if not two. He definitely deserved more of a chance than what he was allowed to have, through no fault of his own.
@briandoss9232 Says:
Aye infection.
@jamal.54_ Says:
i dm’d you on instagram about a year or two ago asking for this video. Finally im watching it 🙏🏾
@LolManI-75 Says:
10:59 I sure didn't know Andrew Jackson had ever been impeached & served a single term after his successor was killed lol
@lizdyson3627 Says:
WOW. What a shame he had to die to be able to make a difference.
