00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:22.039
Welcome to history and factor it's about today. I am Jeff.
2
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:26.039
Today's March fourteenth. Potato chips.
3
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:33.520
How ma fout potato chips? How my mouth drifts crunch, crunch.
4
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.799
I don't want no lunch. All I want is potato chips.
5
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:39.719
Potato chips.
6
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:43.240
How my val potato chipsy?
7
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:48.920
Today is National Potato Chip Day eighteen fifty three. At
8
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:52.200
the Saratoga Inn and Saratoga Springs, New York, a customer
9
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.520
in the restaurant kept sending back his potatoes saying they
10
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.920
were thick and soggy. So the chef, George Crumb, he
11
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.799
really got pissed off. So he sliced those potatoes as
12
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:02.359
thin as he could, and then he fried him as
13
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:04.359
Christmas he could, and he put a whole bunch of
14
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:05.879
extra salt on him and send him back out.
15
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:06.439
Wow.
16
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:08.680
The guy absolutely loved him, and the potato chip was born.
17
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:11.760
The only bad thing about today is potato chips are
18
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:13.879
one of the worst and most unhealthy foods that you
19
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:16.079
could ever eat. So I guess we'll worry about that
20
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:18.959
later and celebrate the potato chip today. All right, this
21
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:21.239
is going on entertainment. On March fourteenth, it was back
22
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:24.200
to nineteen sixty one number one album was Calcutta by
23
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:26.680
Lawrence Walk. Chubby Checker had the numb one song with
24
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:27.319
pony Time.
25
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:44.920
It's pony Time, Get up, head out. So.
26
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:53.519
Marty Robbins had the number one country song with Don't Worry.
27
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.040
Don't bull Me.
28
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:00.760
It's so over the.
29
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:12.639
High Wild many So.
30
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.840
The number one book was Hawaii by James Mitchener. The
31
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.719
top movie was Absent Minded Professor. A college professor invents
32
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.319
an anti gravity substance, well crooked businessman he wants It.
33
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.159
Stars Fred McMurray, Nancy Olson, and Keenan Winn. Okay, what
34
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:31.199
happened on March the fourteenth Back when Boston was founded
35
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:35.080
the Puritans, they outlawed being a Quaker. See, the Quakers
36
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.520
believe that God talked to everyone, not just the clergy.
37
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.960
To the Puritans, that was just playing heresy. So if
38
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:43.520
you were a Quaker in Boston, you could be branded
39
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:45.759
with an age for heretic, or you could have a
40
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:48.159
hot iron bore a hole through your tongue, you could
41
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:51.400
have your ears cut off, or you could simply be hung. Today,
42
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:55.879
in sixteen sixty one they hung the fourth Quaker, William Hedra. Yeah. Now,
43
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:57.479
word of his hanging actually made it all the way
44
00:02:57.520 --> 00:02:59.960
back to England. Yeah, King Charles, or yeah, King jar
45
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.759
he heard about it. So he told those Puritans, he said,
46
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:04.439
if they didn't start playing nice, he was going to
47
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.879
come over and come down on him. Wow, that put
48
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.479
a stop to all that. Now, there were four Quakers
49
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:11.719
who were actually hung during that time. They're still known
50
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:14.080
today as the Boston Martyrs. There's some monuments back there
51
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.319
and everything for him. Seventeen ninety four, Eli Whitney, he
52
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:20.520
invented the cotton gin. Now it separated cotton from the seeds.
53
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:22.919
Now a person can clean around two pounds of cotton
54
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.319
a day. The gin came in and it could clean
55
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.199
almost fifty five pounds a day. So that revolutionized the
56
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:32.280
cotton industry, made it hugely profitable. United States went from
57
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.439
exporting five hundred thousand pounds of cotton a year in
58
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.120
seventeen ninety three ten million pounds in eighteen ten. But
59
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.599
it came with a really bad downside. See, cotton was
60
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.039
growing down south, and to keep it from being possible,
61
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:47.360
they really really increased the slave labor. Say, yeah, you
62
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.240
need a lot more pickers to go with all that demand.
63
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.800
So yeah, caught slavery to spike in the United States.
64
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.280
Eighteen twelve, the United States started selling war bonds for
65
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.120
their first time. It was to pay for the War
66
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:01.400
of eighteen twelve. During that war, they actually called it
67
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:03.520
the Second War of Independence. It was after the ward
68
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.680
over they called it the War of eighteen twelve. Did
69
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:09.120
so eleven million dollars in bonds. Nineteen twenty three, a
70
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.840

71

the projector was in the back of the theater. Nineteen

really really bad. He had to have surgery on it.
76
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:28.839
Now the incident still listed as classified. So knowing sure
77
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.399
if he was running from Hillary or an Ira husband.
78
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:37.680
Joke joked, joked, joke, show dish Shibbert day.

87
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:09.079
means energy equals mass times the speed of light q
88
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.519
are squared. Einstein. He fled Germany for the United States

170
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.480
Rick married his second wife in nineteen seventy eight and
171
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:42.480
they have a son, Alexei Pajnatov. He is seventy one. Also,
172
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:46.000
he was born in Moscow, soviean Union. Now he has
173
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:48.480
caused a whole lot of people to waste a whole
174
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:50.519
lot of time over the years, maybe the most of
175
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.600
any But he created the game Tetris in nineteen eighty four. Yeah,
176
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.879
I've wasted a lot of time playing that too. Now,
177
00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:59.200
he was working for the Soviet government. Now it wasn't
178
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:01.480
his job, he was his wasted time and goofing off
179
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:03.840
well and then came up with Tesser. Became popular over
180
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:06.919
in the Soviet Union. When American named Hank Rogers actually
181
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.559
heard about it, he went over to the Soviet Union.
182
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.120
He was able to get the rights for the game,
183
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:14.720
so he licensed those too Nintendo. So basically, the game
184
00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:17.519
invented in the Soviet Union, discovered by an American and
185
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:19.600
was brought to the United States by a Japanese company.
186
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:23.360
Now as huge as Tetris was, a Looxi didn't get
187
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:25.120
any money from it at all, So in nineteen ninety
188
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:27.240
one he came to the United States. Simon Rodgers founded
189
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:30.799
