The History Guy: History Deserves to Be Remembered

2 жыл бұрын

On March 26th, 1884, the city of Cincinnati, Ohio was on edge, waiting for a jury to convict a defendant who was accused of murdering a man in December of the year before. That verdict did come down guilty, but not for murder. Instead, the man was convicted of manslaughter. That wasn’t good enough for the people of Cincinnati, and over the next few days one of the most destructive riots in American history rocked the city.

If you were rich in the 1890s you were insanely powerful and there were really no laws stopping companies from gaining a total monopoly like Standard oil until Teddy Roosevelt. No food safety rules either which meant you could do almost anything.

Just a piece of trivia for those who might be interested. The "Ohio Militia" mentioned in this vid still exists, only today it is known as the "Ohio Military Reserve". The OMR is composed of unpaid volunteers who purchase their own Army style uniforms (work and dress), supply their own weapons (primarily sidearms), train at least one weekend a month and report to the Governor of Ohio as their Commander in Chief. They are NOT combat type units but rather, for the most part, Military Police and Medical units. They are available for riot control, disaster relief and humanitarian efforts within the borders of Ohio and any state bordering Ohio. The vast majority of OMR volunteers are prior active duty military from all branches of service, so they do have a great deal of formal training. After serving four years active duty in the Marines, I served another eight years with the OMR, and I am just as proud of that service. Several other states, BTW, also still maintain the same type of militia.
