Eighteen fifty four, the anti slavery supporters and the Whig Party, Yeah,

44
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.240

48
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.080
Nineteen twenty two, the USS Langley was commissioned. It was

49
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.599
the world's first aircraft carrier. It was named after Samuel Langley.

50
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.840
See Samuel He had unsuccessfully tried to catapult launch an

51
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.159
aircraft from an houseboat. Yeah, back in nineteen o three.

52
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.240
Witnesses said it flew like a bag of rocks. Well,

53
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:45.439

54
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:49.199
it kind of worked. Nineteen thirty in North Corbin, Kentucky,

55
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.639
Colonel Sanders he created Kentucky Fried Chicken. Yeah, it was

56
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.000
a little cafe owned out there in North Corban. Now

57
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:58.800
