it was here in Denver Regis College. They were opening

36
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.120
act for Matt the Hoopel. All right, let's see what

37
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.960
else was happening in the world. On April the sixteenth,

38
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:45.439
eighteen sixty two, President Abraham Lincoln he assigned a law

39
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.719
that ended slavery in Washington, d c. Now it freed

40
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:51.919
three and eighty five slaves. The slave owners. They were

41
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:54.680
given three hundred dollars for compensation for each slave. It'd

42
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:58.000
be about ninety two hundred dollars today. Well, the former slaves,

43
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:00.000
they were offered one hundred dollars if they wanted to

44
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:04.719
move to Liberia or Haiti. Nineteen twenty two Annie Oakley, Yeah,

45
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.560
that Wild West performer shooting woman. She set a record

46
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.280
that still stands today. She's shot and hit one under

47
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:15.360
straight clay targets. Nineteen forty three, Swiss chemist Albert Hoffmann.

48
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.439
He created lysergic acid diethylamide. Now he didn't know what

49
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:21.199
it did, but he got some of it on his

50
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.919
hand by accident. He became the first person to trip

51
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:26.439
on LSD. Yeah, it really freaked him out, but a

52
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:28.719
couple of days later he wanted to try it again. Well,

53
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:30.319
this time he used too much and he became the

54
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:33.319
first person to have a bad acid troop. Nineteen forty

55
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.080
seven and in the port of Texas City, Texas, a

56
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.400
friend ship called the Grand Champ it was doc there

57
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.520
caught fire. It was loaded with two three hundred tons

58
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.199
of ammonium nitrate. The explosion was the deadliest industrial accident

59
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:47.439
in the United States history, one of the largest non

60
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.719
nuclear explosions in history. Now the ship's two ton anchor.

61
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.280
It was thrown one point six two miles. The blast

62
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:56.199
caused a fifteen foot tile tidal wave that leveled one

63
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.000
thousand buildings. The fire spread to other ships and oil

64
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.599
facilities on shore, killed five hundred and eighty one people.

65
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.240
That includes all but one member of the entire city's

66
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.039
fire department. Yeah, that city is pretty much wasted. They

67
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.840
don't still know why the fire started, and they never

68
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:12.439
figured it out. Also, in nineteen forty seven in New
