Oct 14-Columbus, Eisenhower, Bond, Usher, Thomas Dolby, Linda Ronsadt, The Puritans were mean

0:10 Well, hi, I am Jeff, and welcome to history in factor it is about today presented about cool meeting. Today's October the fourteenth, oh. Columb the Silvii Ocean in forty two with the Nina and the Pinta and the Santa Maria too. Today is Columbus Day. Now, Columbus, he didn't sell trying to prove that the world was round. The Greeks actually proved that one thousand years earlier. Columbus he intended to chart a western sea route to the Spice Islands, China and India. Not going west would be easier than sailing around Africa now instead of landing over there on the forest repuland in the Bahamas. You know that he wasn't the first person here. We know the Vikings they'd gotten here about five hundred years before columb New York City in seventeen ninety two they celebrated the first Columbus Day.

1:04 It was the third hundredth anniversary of him finding the New World. Now, although Columbus he sailed for Spain, he was actually Italian. So today it's actually more less about Columbus and more about kind of an Italian pride, kind of celebration became a federal holiday in nineteen thirty seven. It's the second Monday in October. Now, he has always been kind of a controversial guy. I mean, he was kind of an ass and he gets the blame for opening up the door to the a loud Europeans to come over and take over the American's indigenous people. It's not a holiday, but lots of people nowadays they're celebrating National Indigenous People's Day, been doing it since the nineteen seventies. They want you to celebrate the people that were here, but for the Europeans ever got here. So today, whether you want to celebrate Italian or you want to celebrate the indigenous people, probably put him together. It work the best.

The Puritans, they banned all Quakers from being there. Yep, they ran them right out of Massachusetts. And then they proclaimed that any Quaker who returned would have his gear cut off, and if they came back again, they'd cut off the other ear. And they said, if they still come back a third time, we're gonna bore a hole through your tongue with a red hot iron. That didn't go over so good, see, so they recanted that.

After that he went to the hospital. Doctors thought removing it would actually cause more damage than just leaving in there. So Teddy he lived the rest of his life with that bullet in his chest.

So what happened after that, Well, they got a whole bunch of experts together, came to some conclusion.
