Lost 50s - Full Documentary
Full HD Version Now Available:
Take a trip back in time to the fabulous 50s in WDSE•WRPT’s new historic documentary. It was an era when drive-ins were all the rage, and a music icon began his legendary journey at a Duluth concert. It was a decade when the Arrowhead region met a major mining challenge, and the region played a strategic role in the Cold War. The 1950s were years of prosperity, as the American way of life revolved around the car, families moved to the suburbs, and television became a part of everyday life. And local milestones included the passing of the last Civil War veteran Albert Woolson, and the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway.

George Westinghouse changed the face of the world with his inventions, patents, business sense, and personality.
Not a day goes by that we don't use something pioneered by George Westinghouse.
He is the forgotten role model that our country needs today to teach future generations of Americans that hard work and kindness pay off.
George Westinghouse was one of the most successful men in the world. A respected engineer, inventor and America's greatest industrialist.
He was a pioneer of the industrial revolution and played a leading role in turning the United States from a young agrarian society into a modern economic powerhouse.
The name Westinghouse has been a household name the world over for more than 100 years because of one man, his love of machines, and his desire to make the world a better place.
The accomplishments that George Westinghouse had in his lifetime had a major impact on the way we live today.
His work in the railroad industry with the Westinghouse air brake, the electrification of the world with Westinghouse alternating current, him being instrumental in developing natural gas as a fuel, and his impact on the shipping industry with the Westinghouse geared marine turbine engine.
George Westinghouse was known as a good person.
He always had a very good rapport with his workers. There was never a strike at any of the Westinghouse companies all the time he had control of them.
And, you know, that was not common back in those days. He certainly was not motivated by greed or money. He really thought that his accomplishments would benefit mankind. And that alone was a driving force for him. This film also engages in the power struggle between Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla.

The Best Civil War Story - Chapter 11 - by Jim Surkamp
Chapter 11: March, 1862 – Freedom Comes Hard To Rezin Davis Shepherd and Almost Too Late; But Freedom Offered by Hugh Pendleton at Westwood to His Many Enslaved Brings The Best Day Ever.
The harsh winter of 1861-1862 slowly yielded to spring and new growth, new signs of life re-awakening – and a barely recognizable man coming across the yard to Fountain Rock:
One chilly day in March the family at Fountain Rock saw a strange man slowly making his way through the grove from the Ridge road. He appeared old and ill and no one knew that it was Davis until he reached the porch.
Made possible with the generous, community-minded support from American Public University System (apus.edu). (The sentiments in this production do not in any way reflect modern-day policies of APUS). Nore at:

In this video, see Session Three: Political Crisis of the 1850s. Participants include David Waldstreicher, the Graduate Center (presiding); Matthew Pinsker, Dickinson College; Manisha Sinha, University of Massachusetts Amherst; and James Oakes, CUNY Graduate Center.

Lee Chapel Spring Lecture w/ Jason Phillips, Looming Civil War
The title of the Dr. Jason Phillips' speech, as well as his latest book is Looming Civil War: How Nineteenth-Century Americans Imagined the Future. Dr. Phillips's research focuses on ideas of the future in nineteenth-century America. Described as the history of the future, Phillips's research uses memory studies to explain how war forecasts formed, spread, and competed for adherents during the Civil War era. Dr. Phillips will discuss how Civil War Americans imagined themselves in relation to the passage of time and impending conflict, and how this changed their ideas of the future. We hope that Dr. Phillips's talk will help shed light on a new way for anyone interested in the Civil War an/or nineteenth century America to think about one of the most studied and controversial eras of history, especially in today's political and cultural climate.
8th Grade U.S. HISTORY STAAR REVIEW
For educational purposes.
I was trying really hard to keep it under 45 minutes. If it's too fast you can watch it at .75.
At .5 it sounds like an episode of drunk history.
Please note the following:
* Fundamental Orders of Connecticut was established in 1639 not 1863
* Fort Sumter was 1861 not 1865
If you see any other mistakes please let me know. Thanks and good luck on the test!
Westinghouse: The Life & Time of an American Icon
Westinghouse is a feature-length documentary about the life and times of George Westinghouse, his companies, legacy, personality, partnership with Nikola Tesla, and conflict with Thomas Edison. George Westinghouse is considered America’s greatest industrialist and the only man who would go up against Thomas Edison, and win.
Please subscribe and share for more great documentaries!
His victory over Edison during the Battle of the Currents set the stage for the entire future of electric power. The Westinghouse air brake is considered one of the most important inventions in history. Automobile shock absorbers, railroad signaling and the modern day weekend all owe their existence to the man who Andrew Carnegie called, “A genius who can’t be downed.” Westinghouse may be most famous for the massive companies that he created, but the man called “Uncle George” was a reserved creative giant who went out of his way to treat his workforce with dignity and respect. He was an honest millionaire in the days of robber barons, an optimist in the days of skeptics, and a generous CEO from whom today’s executives can learn.
Narrated by Emmy award winner Carol Lee Espy, a TV/radio host for KDKA Radio, which was the first commercial radio station in the country. Originally owned by Westinghouse until the company’s merger with CBS in 1996, the station made history by airing their first broadcast from the Westinghouse Building in East Pittsburgh in 1920. Carol is also a singer, songwriter, and producer whose voice can be heard on national PBS productions. In 2001 she helped to launch “On Q”, a news magazine at WQED Multimedia in Pittsburgh, and became the voice of WQED. Since then Espy has won two Mid-Atlantic Emmys for her writing and producing and seven nominations for writing/producing and music composition.
15. Lincoln, Leadership, and Race: Emancipation as Policy
The Civil War and Reconstruction (HIST 119)
Professor Blight follows Robert E. Lee's army north into Maryland during the summer of 1862, an invasion that culminated in the Battle of Antietam, fought in September of 1862. In the wake of Antietam, Abraham Lincoln issued his preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, a document that changed the meaning of the war forever. Professor Blight suggests some of the ways in which Americans have attempted to come to grips with the enigmatic Lincoln, and argues that, in the end, it may be Lincoln's capacity for change that was his most important characteristic. The lecture concludes with the story of John Washington, a Virginia slave whose concerted action suggests the central role American slaves played in securing their own freedom.

Union Hero - the Letters and Journals of a Civl War Surgeon
This is the fascinating account of the life of Dr. Franklin Dyer, a surgeon in the Union Army who participated in the battles of Antietam, Gettysburg, Spotsylvania and Petersburg among many others. Dr. Dyer served in the Union Army for three years, eventually becoming the Acting Medical Director of the entire Second Corps. He kept copious journals and records throughout his years of Civil War service, describing in great detail his work in field army hospitals and relaying chilling and detailed accounts of the battles of Antietam, Gettysburg and Petersburg. Dr. Dyer served under Generals Grant, McClellan, Howard, Gibbon and Hancock and offers fascinating, sometimes amusing portraits of these famous men while giving us an unflinching glimpse into the life of all Americans, both Union and Confederate, during the war that transformed the United States of America.
This Video is presented by Kelley Library Adult Series and the Salem Historical Society.
The speaker is Dr. Michael Chesson, Founding Dean of The American College of History and Legal Studies in Salem, New Hampshire. Dr. Chesson is a Pulitzer Prize nominated Civil War Historian, and editor of Dr. Franklin Dyer's journals.

The House will convene at 9 a.m. to begin debate leading up to the final impeachment votes.
