Stuff That Happened

Welcome back to another presidential blog on Stuff That Happened and today I'll be ranking my 5 most OVER-RATED presidents in United States history. To determine who is overrated, I'm looking at some of the famous historical surveys and on Wikipedia, we can see Presidents with more blue and green indicate a more favorable ranking. I looked through every President with a favorable ranking on most surveys, and picked out the 5 most overrated in my opinion and today we'll talk about why I feel they're overrated while also looking back at their performance as President and attempting to answer why they are looked at so favorably. Keep in mind, I'm not saying these Presidents were necessarily awful or among the worst; in fact, none of them made my Worst 5 of All Time list, although one was a dishonorable mention. But they are all, in my opinion anyway, over-rated. William McKinley 5. William McKinley McKinley is consistently ranked in the upper half of Presidential ranki...

On December 13th, 2000, seven inmates incarcerated at John B. Connelly Unit near Kenedy, Texas made one of the most daring and elaborate escapes ever successfully pulled off at a maximum security facility.  The seven men had originally committed various heinous but unrelated crimes and were all serving severe prison sentences.  But they became a dangerous unit whose reckless and deadly behavior during the escape caused massive anger and tragedy within the community.  The group became known as the Texas Seven, something that sounds straight out of the Old West.  In today's video, we'll look into this riveting escape and the tragic outcome - the result of 7 dangerous criminals being on the loose with nothing to lose.  They had become absolutely desperate - and without morals or a willingness to surrender - their desperation resulted in multiple deaths.  George Angel Rivas Jr. , the ringleader of the Texas 7,  was born in El Paso, Texas on May 6th, 1970....

It was July 3rd, 1957 in Akron, Ohio at around 11:10 PM when a young man who recently turned 21 years old, Frank Freshwaters, was driving along the southbound lane of Arlington Drive. His car was not in great condition and did not have a functioning horn or emergency brake. He also did not have car insurance. As he neared 1000 Linton Drive, he suddenly saw a man crossing the road near his home right in front the car. Traveling at about 40 miles per hour, he tried to stop but was unable to do so in time and collided with 24-year old Eugene Flynt. Flynt was seriously injured and died at 12:01 AM, less than an hour after the collision. Eugene Flynt Freshwaters was arrested and booked on 2nd degree manslaughter charges, because according to prosecutor Robert Blakemore, he was speeding and driving an unsafe vehicle when the accident occurred. He was given a $1,000 bond by Judge William Victor after a hearing and was able to make bail. He eventually agreed to plead guilty and appeared...

Welcome back to the channel and in today’s video, we’ll be looking back at some of the worst presidents in the history of the United States, at least in my personal opinion, which will most likelyh differ from yours so I’d love to hear your thoughts in that comment section down below. I’ve been fascinated with U.S. Presidents since a very young age, read numerous books and documents on them, forming my own opinions which have evolved over the years, and I even followed every presidential election since I was 8, printing out the results on old dot matrix printers. Today, I’ll be ranking my bottom 5 presidents – in other words, the 5 worst presidents in U.S. History along with my reasoning for why they’re ranked so low. I hope to eventually make a stand-alone video for each president, giving them a more full review including positives and negatives and a full ranking as well as a tier list at some point. Before getting into the bottom 5, I do have 3 dishonorable mentions in no particu...
