00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:13.039
Hi, oh, I am Jeff, and welcome to history and Facto.

2
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:16.440
It's about today, about cool meani. It is July first. Now,

3
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:20.640
July is name for Julius Caesar.
The birth flowers are the water lily and

4
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:24.000
the lux bur It seems kind of
odd because the luxpur doesn't bloom until fall,

5
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:27.679
but okay, birth stone is the
ruby, and July's full moon is

6
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:31.199
called the buck moon. I guess
we're gonna start off July getting crazy.

7
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:52.799
Oh yes, hey, hey,
it is National Postal Workers' Day. We

8
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:56.640
are celebrating postal workers for the hard
work they put in ensuring that our mail

9
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:00.840
is delivered smoothly as possible. Now, if you still have a postal worker

10
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.640
delivers directly to your house, you
really need to show some appreciation today.

11
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.239
Yeah, most of us we just
have those community mailboxes. But they're still

12
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.920
out there, aren't they. So
thank you postal workers. All right,

13
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.560
this is going on and entertained mina
July first, let's go back to your

14
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:19.159
nineteen ninety three. Janet Jackson had
the number one album with Janet. Janet

15
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:44.799
Jackson had the number one song,
but That's the way Love goes. Garth

16
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:53.560
Brooks had the number one country song
with that summer feel, the Jason from

17
00:01:53.599 --> 00:02:08.759
the Sky, what's storming in all
this wan? The number one book was

18
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:14.520
The Client by John Grisham. Top
movie was The Firm. A young lawyer

19
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:16.960
joins a really prestigious law fer and
then he finds out as really corrupt an

20
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:23.120
evil stars Tom Cruise, Jeanie triple
Horn, and Gene Heckman. All right,

21
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:27.400
what happened on July the first?
The reason we are celebrating postal workers

22
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.759
today. Eighteen forty seven in the
United States Post Office started issuing the first

23
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:35.240
stamps. Yeah, they went on
sale. Benjamin Franklin stamp five cents,

24
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.919
the George Washington stamp ten cents.
Now before today, the people receiving the

25
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:44.039
meal actually had to pay for the
postage. Eighteen sixty three, the Dutch

26
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:47.199
they abolished slavery and all their territories
that included Saint Martin, Surnam and the

27
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:52.759
British antilities. All right, we'll
talk about this in a couple of days,

28
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:57.240
but its eighteen sixty three in the
Battle of Gettysburg started to all our

29
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:02.360
friends to the north, Happy Canada
day whoa eighteen sixty seven Canada became a

30
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:07.599
self governing Dominion of Great Britain Canada. It was made up four provinces,

31
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:12.479
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec. Now they're going to

32
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.360
celebrate today pretty much the way we
will in a couple of days on July

33
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:19.840
fourth. So how fun are you
Canucks? Eighteen seventy four, the first

34
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:23.759
public zoo in the United States opened
up in Philadelphia. Cost you twenty five

35
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:28.000
cents to see a thousand animals,
reptiles, and bird. In the Spanish

36
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.159
American War in eighteen ninety eight,
over in Cuba, Teddy Roosevelt and his

37
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:37.039
rough Riders made their historic and famous
charge up San Juan Hill took out their

38
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:39.280
Spanish enemy. Yeah, it was
one of the biggest battles of the war

39
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.639
end, one of the last one
in Spain. They really couldn't recover from

40
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.000
it. Nineteen oh four, the
third Olympic Games opened up in Saint Louis.

41
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:49.000
Yeah, the first time the Games
were held in the United States.

42
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.400
This is kind of weird, but
at one time people were not afraid of

43
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:55.439
sharks. No, they weren't where
the sharks could actually attack human bangs.

44
00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:00.039
But you have to remember that was
before like scuba diving, and surfing and

45
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.800
stuff like that. Yeah, people, they didn't really spend any time in

46
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:05.199
the oceans. That maybe going out
there and splashing around. That all changed.

47
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:10.719
On nineteen sixteen, twenty five year
old Charles Vancent he was swimming in

48
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.560
New Jersey on Beach Haven. He
was attacked by a shark and ended up

49
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.480
bleeding to death. Then over the
next couple of days, three more people

50
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:19.399
were attacked and killed by sharks.
Yeah, all off of the Jersey shore.

51
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:24.319
Now everybody knew about shark attacks and
the fear of sharks by human began.

52
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.800
Nineteen sixteen, the bloody ist battle
of World War One began over in

53
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.720
France. It's called the Battle of
the Somme Britain. They had nineteen thousand

54
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:35.079
men killed that very first day.
That's like one man every five seconds.

55
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.560
That battle lasted all the way until
November. There were one point one million

56
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:44.800
casualties on all sides ended up fighting
to a draw or a stalemate. Nineteen

57
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:48.279
forty one, Bova watches. They
paid a New York TV station nine bucks.

58
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.639
They were the first ever TV commercial. Yeah, the lasted ten seconds.

59
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.759

00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.639

a big d It's so big that Dick

110
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.720
Clark wanted the Village People to come
on American Bandstand. So now they had

111
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.320
to come with the band. So
they placed an ad in one of the

112
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.200
trade papers in New York City and
read that they wanted macho singers who could

113
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.480
dance, and then they must have
a mustache. That's how the Village People

114
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.720
were for himed sold over one hundred
million records. Victory did leave the band

115
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:16.000
