The continental army first occupied west point to new york a date- and that is where the oldest continuously operated army post in the united states- is ok, yeah, I'd states, military academy at west point stand: stop sea cliffs on the hudson river, forty miles north of new york city, george, Washington, Thomas jefferson, Recognized the need for a place to train young men who could defend the nation in its britain have an republic in france. I'm nervous, seen hundreds already nervous what already nervous. Why? Just because I feel like we're. Gonna hear some fucked up shit about west point. How can think because this is how this is, how it started suggests a nice positive story about military now, you're, not recruiting you're a liar

bunch of boys. You have it. Maybe two story: your life. I boys, if a liar who came together through hardship and through the academy at west point learned how to be men and became better people know and helped to lead our country? Now that's a different podcast you're describing you don't know that yeah I do continue when it first opens. It opened it's doors and eighty, no two west point was nothing more than a few ramshackle buildings with ten kids it's taught by three teachers. Students were admitted at any point during the year and admission standards were quotable laughable, okay, so you and I could have been in west point yep. We just knew a guy yeah, just like abbott and costello following the disastrous war of eighteen, twelve against the british, in which a largely on an american army suffered a string of defeats against the british, the boy

She actually ate a meal at the white house after capturing washington d c, just to be pricks just to want yeah. What what do you like? Yeah, let some tea and they sat down right. Would you, like some company, was a lot like that yeah. You know, I think we should paint this thing. Blue, a blue hose fuck, em, fuck off america I do bricks. Why does congress didn't? Then we showed them? Didn't we yeah? We did well, I'm sort of them too, but yeah. Yeah fuck cars decided to increase funding. Alden partridge became superintendent at west point and quickly set about transforming the army recruits. He drew up meshes, recording that's a good idea. Yup, I'm still recording. I didn't have it on the thing I got on the thing. We're all good. Okay can't wait to hear your complaints about the sound, so he became

I started setting shit up my knee started to take an ass taken, as he drew up regulations for cadets created sixteen hour days, full of drills and study and adopted a gray cadet uniform, okay, a lot of people like gray, you know blah blah, but the reason that gray was the uniform is because it was the cheapest fabric. let's be honest, that's why that's why yeah that's what he was selling it like look at his lovely design and that's where all the art, the wooded, though the army, whenever the great grace cheap okay. So, let's not act like it's a great color, okay. What is it? It is a great love gra. It is a grey color that won't talk to him. What, but this is that's the whole idea. Students now followed and academic year, rather than arriving whenever it police them partridge also develop standards for admission forbidding twelve year old boys married men, the physically disabled and amputees previously admit, is cadets.

I'm sorry is specifically twelve year old boys like eleven year olds can come in and thirteen year olds a week I think, was anyone. Anybody at or twelve twelve are weak. What are you eight get in here? It's a bridge age. It is a preacher. It's a ten ten to twelve count, eleventh, not fake. I love amputees join the. Well, I've only got to go on, but it's good as as do call me captain hops. They call me punter how I, and eighteen. Seventeen clapping is going to be my biggest issue here, sir. Here's me clapping, and I imagine that I can point, though point like a mother pointing assassin watch this.

charge say what I mean, then the two armors will clap and then I fall over because I only have the one thing. Yes and also my legs are fake. Now, where do I sign up pointing at eighteen? Seventeen partridge was dismissed after selling academy wood for profit and appointing a relative to one I post some he's just kind of legs, gazed cottages. shady just like. What's ve grown over, those would bear is like know only the best buy them hey. This is my brother he's a charge. I'm also select two by fours in the parking lot. He just rolls up to home depot with it. trunk full too by force. Allow you I'm leading america's future army now who wants to play abstained would wish, My brother he's in charge of wood. No arms and legs partridge refused to. relinquish command.

I didn't realize that was an option. You're fired! No, I'm not! This is going unexpectedly by some somewhat? He was subsequently tried by court martial on numerous charges of neglect of duty and insubordinate. Yeah and sororities. Not leave you can't get fired. No, I'm not! Okay! Just do this again. What is he doing? How does he do that in november? Eighteen, seventeen, he was sentenced to be cashiered, which basically is yeah. You work at a grocery store. You gotta, you have to be a cashier, it was better the bag and, if you're like, if you're like a a ranked gentleman to you, they take away your room. as your sword in front of you and shit like that Jesus, so the president of the united states intervened and the punishment was remitted. Oh man, these on fire bull, yet our partridge, then resign taking place, was a superintendent at the military academy, colonel

sylvanus fair, a former student known as the father of west point thayer, revolutionized books. Let's be honest, the other guy sounds like the father of west point. Yeah. Alright, I mean yeah. He looks at me he's kind of the people It was a west point. Is that you know what I mean yeah. I saw the little word. He fucking hooked his brother up, but come on now you're wearing grey ikea, you're only sleeping, there's a day right, you fuckin, bitches, revolutionise the currently with strict rules. Students at west point, weren't allowed to leap campus cookie, their dorms or dual. Its demand of failure The more I hear about doing the more I miss those tiny I like you know it was just sitting way more exciting way to live life, a diet of beef, bread and water prepared his young students for military. Russians? Alright, boys are going to start eating like shit now. Alright, everyone I'm ready to get really clogged up. I get your

that you're growing and everything. But, let's withhold stuff, you need we're. Gonna be fighting a war on vegetables. Inside of these camps is academy. Was an autocracy admission. and graduation were not about whether you were rich or poor connected are unconnected, but whether you were good. This was a new idea around this time. Fatal. That's interesting that that's a new idea. It is yet they remain If you sign a letter of resignation which he kept in case, he broke the rules. Okay, it's kinda, fucked up, it's totally fucked up his nephew is like wait. Why is everyone mostly they're wanted at west point to become a respected place of learning by

eighteen, twenty six, the academy had thirty six men serving as faculty and staff with for official departments, mathematics, engineering, natural philosophy and military tactics. Instruction was also provided in french, drawing law, history and chemistry. There's learning their system was based on sections where cadets would be promoted to a more difficult class or demoted to a lower class depending on their performance. Ok, so I really just did what made sense. He was just logical, yet he just may make them learn a bunch yeah. It was like he can't come in whenever you want and it's actually going to be classic yeah and if you're, a shithead you're outta here. Just as that fucking nephew of mine that fuck fuck up he's just on thin ice. Doesn't he look at look at this letter? I got plus mother fucker. I swear to god one mis step up can cadets were taught using a recital method where

if they were required to demonstrate knowledge of concepts or formulas in front of their classmates and instructor each day without the help of texts or notes. Cadets were awarded a grade ranging from three point o excellent to zero point: zero, complete failure, a graduate, but he did he invent that. That's like the gps, he invented and maybe yeah. I think he might have ok a grade. Yeah we'll get there a grade of two point. I was considered barely passing each week. The grades were tallied up and cadets were either promoted or demoted to more or less challenging classes. The system of points also took into account dissonant, disciplinary mare de merits for such things as on cleanliness, tobacco use or gambling. This grueling system was geared towards academic excellence and was even the model which colleges such as harvard emulated throughout.

tenth century, so I guess he did well the the first half of west existence. Existence did not witness the hazing rituals or aggregations which, which later later on instead an unwritten code of gentlemanly honour persisted when it issue arose or they were questioned. They would often speak truthfully. Dueling have been outlawed by the army but any slight against a man by another was keenly felt at west point. Many cadets kept pistols swords and knives concealed in their trunks for like in their rooms in case they were required to late. So they're like there's like sneak duels, get the hidden ache secret. Duels man duels just got all that spicy! That's like it's like when you're not supposed to leave your high school campus here and then you leave and go to lunch. He hit subway here. It's like that accepts that its do exist.

With death with death. Circling you already got sucked into that motherfucker collaborative fucking, fucking sorts cause. We gotta keep quiet article from the boston gazette. We are informed by the earth new york american that a dual was fought friday morning had hoboken between two cadets from west point, in which one of them was badly wounded. His name, we understand, is maurice a native of virginia. The editor adds both parties. If the suffers arise, we presume will be dismissed from the academy man wore He woke up out of the com. One item no is dismissed and fired.

They had the old ramshackle buildings of the reference revolutionary vintage replaced with two new barracks, a north and south barracks, a mess hall and an academic building and a number of new quarters for the staff. The barracks were laid out in several stories with rooms running off. Borders, thereabouts and academic institution with engineering at its core. He knew that to build a strong nation acquired engineers. The graduates at west point would eventually build the infrastructure of the industrial usa. Its railways, bridges, canals importers They are done a tour of europe and seen that science and engineering built strong nations. Maybe the Republican should take that to me- was a four

an admirer of napoleon bonaparte, whom he had hoped to meet on his trip in eighteen. Fifty man, that's an interesting, get, that's a great sit down yet, but it doesn't like I mean all the stuff you talking about is stuff. That, like would be great to have somebody believe today and are gonna, be an awesome where we could have a president. Who is we need to teach people shit, let's teach people shit and fixed the bridges, not like the sound of it like bridges, the father. Let's go to war were no here, the air, the operators for use science and bridges that should be the that should be the republic and the Republican should now five a war in the states on bridges just like start actively trying to make the bridges fall apart, faster fixing bridges costs money

So you fuck, you bridges, there's a rigorous, daily schedule. Encouraged monastic like this. when an succeeded in turning the academy from a chaotic institution to a place of order and learning, yet as diligent and as honorable as they were, these young men with the same inclinations and patches as any young men. Oh yeah, here we go the coasters starting to go down. They just had fewer opportunities to exercise them when these passions, for exercise. They often erupted violently in eighteen, twenty five, the cadets were allowed to drink on two holidays. The fourth of july and christmas. I mean that those nights have to be fucking crazy, well, yeah. How could they not be? I mean you're drinking. Have you ever been to an office party yeah?

Yeah now imagine never being able to drink outside of the articles and having an author supporting the fourth of July celebration got completely out of hand when half naked students led a quote snake dance and hoisted the school come on. Don't worry, I'm worth on their shoulders. The result of this incident was that in eighteen, twenty six, the cadets were informed that their christmas would be our call free arrests and expulsions. Faced those who broke the rule, a few that cadets took fares, new rules as a challenge and set upon a personal mission to make christmas the biggest party west point now. This is exciting. Fares ban god didn't extend, pass the boundaries of the academy in various drinking establishments existed outside of west point. There were two taverns located just outside the walls, the cat, even those popular of these benny- hey, is tat of a tavern, is still immortalized in a mirror.

on the mess halls wall. Benny havens had served as a first lieutenant in the war of eighteen, twelve occupied a one story, cottage, a short distance west of the old cadet hoss at first benny sold only ale, cider and buckwheat kicks man. I love a good buckwheat cake. That's just! What do you got here? yet sat up, but we kicks oliver cider and a, but we take our they'll do he? subsequently began, dispensing a more potent beverage ugly. As result in eighteen, thirty, two, he was expelled from the military reservation. after his expulsion, benny havens opened a tavern on the river's edge below the cliffs of highland falls. Okay, still sticking close sure, yeah, oh I'll, get off the reservation yeah, but I'll be ready in the street, but evans tavern was the only one that allowed the bartering of shoes and blankets for liquor, god damn it. This is a better time.

I literally just dropped off like three pairs of shoes to the salvation army. A couple of days ago you could have gotten some beers. I could have gone down to the shortstop and gotten shit and yeah six years? What other get me night attracted some son fuck yeah pull and shots for those converse. You just brought it, but they would not take uniformed from the school. Ok, bye. We got our limits gents right now and I can do a uniform, a cake. Would you guys at some blankets, are really do biogas issue there It is, I know they haven't been invented yet, but you gotta data is yeah god. I would love those because the men haughty das is what they're actually called, which I just know what you're saying that, because they're from germany, he does you now listen? It's me. You're out he's pronounced a little differently, but come on now, I'm just under doing what I'm told, because the matter where

had the money, the territory you usually allow them credit for a year. At a time, edgar Allan POE spent the majority of his time at west point at penny. Heaven and his continued absences eventually led to his dismissal after one year, but when it he ever do the dozen total loser. The taverns were technically illegal to visit but as long as a cadet wasn't caught or commanding officer turned a blind eye, they remained an essential place to cool off with friends, enjoy a warm flap, jack and drink up buckwheat cake. Cider girl, maybe I pay two shoes in a blanket for the night girl. I mean this now you're mugger atlanta cider, you look like a girl was observed. He's talking the blanket with shoes inside of it, it's fucked up

for it to twenty six. At other tavern existed on the property directly behind west point north's tavern as it was called. It was so close to the academy that often entice cadets. They are dealt with this temptation by purchasing the property and turning the tavern into a hospital. What a fuckin asshole yeah that

that's quite a downgrade yet jefferson Davis, who would go on to be the future president of the confederate states during the civil war? Okay, had a history of bad behavior while drunk he was the first in to be arrested for going to Betty haven. Another time Davis was reportedly so drunk that he fell down a sixty foot ravine, while bolting from the tavern, because a professor had come in. She is in retrospect sixty feet. His friends shouted down to him to respond if he wasn't dead, jefferson wanted to laugh at the ridiculous question, but he was in so much pain. All I could do was raise one bloody hand to show that he was still alive. She's. That's I mean that's quite a trade off for not even caught jr

yeah you have one bloody armed and that's working. He was hospitalized for four months. It's really like will Ferrell and austin powers yeah holy shit, four months worth, because because then obviously you're caught too it's not like they're like no. No none of that worked overseas doing nothing was hanging lighting and forgot the equipment side. gliding india, with a group of do jefferson, Davis friend, suggested they flout the superintend. It's a new law and throw a christmas eve rage the night of December twenty fourth eighteen, twenty six davis was on board a boy, their choice of holiday beverage for the party was the notorious ignore, oh god, nowadays, economic isn't necessarily sometimes of alcohol. In the eighteenth and nineteenth century, however, ignore was more often than not alcoholic

That's true today, yeah, maybe, but some people just drink the eggnog. Those people are serial killers. I wanted to egg drink hmm how about an egg drink with no real benefit? Bizarre god, I am full yeah. I've had a thimble. So those most alcoholic, a descendant of a widely drunk hot milk punch, known as a posse. Which contained curdled wine or ill yeah. Now the hot milk punch that contained curdled weiner ale. I think just these last three sense, as you have said, and have ended my time with acknowledged for good yeah, just the actually now thinking about what it I think it's idly and aggravates the ets, definite, not that I was a big. You know not that I was an augur you're knocker here now recovering

The number of small dairy farms in colonial america in the nineteenth century, made milk cream and egg nog more accessible to the american public is essentially a mixture of four items found on any colonial farm, chickens, cows, sugar and booze. Great because chickens make eggs, hoo, hoo hoo house make milk yeah and then sugar and booze hooper, whose how did it start it's the first lunatic it was like. I dunno. I got a feeling, let's put the salad in a cup that I just did something prepared just to spread trick again I would urge listeners, that's crazy, but I took the cow put a negative analogy: get drunk lou. Wisely. Raise your bread, drugs, lameter, godly, the type and taste of non could be hidden with spices,

says gerbils for some cinema. Okay, you know it'll sound. This is a look kick not a mug. I think we're onto something here all guy put forward eggs, some milk and sugar. From her. Let's put it let's put it on a table than those sound and drink from an all day. er nog dumont room temperature. Hotter argue during the height of the triangle, trade, which is When the people try to try and sugar slaves and rum of god, the triangle trade right, I will try to you my room for a slave and hill trade. You know outrage you some sugar, you change your slave to bury, They will trade rum to you and then you treated me. It seems pretty forward and morally acceptable package drying up.

So run was very widely available as such, a widely available drank edna became a very popular beverage with americans. George Washington even had a famous recipe for the drink that included from sharing brandy and whisky for an extra kick. No. Kind of liquor was specified. The rule was the more liquor. The marry a boy several nights before christmas, three cadets centre, Robertson, Burnley crossed the hudson river to martens tavern tavern. To get as much whisky as they could buy, with the money collected from the north barracks, jefferson, Davis, stocker, fairly and g on, went to benny havens, bribing a guard with thirty five cents to borrow boat and crossed the river just to differ.

time does just that. Just a bad west point guard. He got thirty five cents. I mean who knows what it is back: their notable excrement, yeah yeah. Ok, they came back with three to four flags of liquors. That's like a pitcher! Ok, Martin was smuggled in from benny havens. Should anyone need something to eat Jesus Christ so we're basically to I think about a mutton and nog party. This is this'll, get stinky. It's going to go with handfuls of eggs and gallons of fresh milk were purchased from farmers close to the academy, mutton, pork and turkey from benny's, which they plan to heat over their fireplaces in their rooms. Just does not sound fun, I mean, I know they want to get shit. Faced then have a good time, but fresh room

and you get that for Martin. Some hard eggs and rum Oh, oh, oh this, sugar, bread and butter condiments from the kitchen, the cinnamon and nutmeg, were also provided by betting havens. The containers of alcohol- food were then stored among the cadets private possessions, hidden until the night of christmas. Oh god, this man, what if there was strict but not stupid, cadets, it's modern, smuggled alcohol into the academy before and those situations have been dealt with an individual basis. He assumed that with the holidays, there would be similar incidents. In fact, he discussed such a possibility with colleagues at a small party. The night before, but there took nothing more than standard precautions, assigning two officers: captain Ethan Allen, Hitchcock, a faculty member in military tactics and lieutenant william, a thorton to monitor the north barracks. He

besides cadets in charge of every floor in the barracks holding them responsible. If anything went wrong boy, while I have a feeling, things are going to go wrong. No yeah lieutenant eaten was on one in the guard room on christmas eve in the guard room was a large job at a military. Five which were used in the morning. A knight to signal the beginning and end of the day each morning the drummer would strap on the german stand between the north and south barracks at the first sight of the sun. He would beat the call to summon the cadets from the barracks for roll call. A drum would also signifies breakfast and the start of classes at ten p m on December twenty. Fourth, he sounded the nightly call for all cadets to be in the rooms and room twenty eight of the north barracks, however cadet swords, burying sullivan, skip with stocker and Billy Murdoch were mixing.

tennessee stout, ignored in wooden buckets exist so that this is christmas eve there doing, ok as eyes are not making naga twenty four hours right now, it's their turn argument now, you're! Ok, you ought to know nice and sour ash bar in room five worm in the milk has been sit around for a while. I bullet by no means, as this except but the digest. I'm not suggesting that at all in room. I have one level down and directly across from hitchcock room, jefferson, Davis, guiana, bompard, cop and Billy Fitzgerald. A top five student was billy were also drinking eggnog, fairly, suddenly decided to make another trip to local tavern, as he was afraid that the supply would run low, Jesus, hitchcock or hitches. The cadets call them walk the halls until three m when he went to bed unaware of the parties,

across the hall and on the level above him? So how are they? How are they not making? How does he not aware there just super out here in a minute now allowed just quietest button acquire pard wily getting drunk? Well, that's They really that's gonna, be an interesting way to party whisper party, with acknowledged with I falada steamer, be live at best I'm right? Am I got his rage If at four am hitchcock awoke to the sound of noisy cadets a few floors above him there and it's happening going up, one story to room twenty He knocked on the door which opened a reveal several men in a room, smelly of liquor and recently smell. Fire which was clearly being used to re heat food all He did not see any liquor, he did see human like shapes and our blanket. He ordered the two men are the blanket to come out which they did sheepishly. He then ordered several man to go back to their rooms. It then became a pair,

and tat. There was another cadet under the blanket hitchcock ordered him to stand up. The figure did but did not remove the blanket rising. As a ghost, like figure, cover yourself, sir Hitchcock shouted. The shrouded figure try to edge its way out of the room. He thinks it's a cloak of invisibility you can't see me when I'm under the sheets he's talking to someone else is the best I ever We know this never coming sorry. It's got shouted that hitchcock yanked yank the cup, from the man to reveal a cadet in uniform, but still with a cap held in front of his face to hide his identity? Is this guy pixelate before the tv was invented? It's got order the kid that to show his face several times, but the kid I just stood there cap in front of his face its guys

Imagine it's just like auto legit. This is like the unfavorable guy that several other cadets looked on in stunned silence, just like Jesus Christ. What's he doing hitchcock waited a full fifteen seconds after the last command? Sir, do not compel me to use violence with a gentleman. He said the figure tried for the door but again hitchcock blocked his path. Finally, hitchcock snap, the cap away from the figure to reveal the face of george skip with hitchcock, ordered him to his room and then told the cadets. They were under arrest and ordered them to go to bed. The captain left the room at four fifteen am and returned to his room to sleep after hitchcock left Billy Murdoch was furious. That hitchcock had used force on skip with,

slighting his honor, oh boy. He said to Fitzgerald and stopped her stocker, who had moved up from whom five get your pay in its boys and pistols that we have them before this night is over. Hitchcock will be tat, low level, low world k. Well, all right now hold on a second and third world. Other parties over parties get started a pretty is over we're out a nod or our drawing skid gonna. Think it's time to kill a man of discreet, take key, forcefully removed, skip. tat. I wonder why they don't want them drinking booze. Yet do not good at that summit. Maids gonna die. Shortly after arriving back in his room, hitchcock heard footsteps coming down the hall, the feet stopped in front of his door and he heard whispers after a pause. The door reverberated with three solid blows made from a pistol but or club Jesus

Christ? Are they gonna kill the big red away as hitchcock opened his door down the corridor? He saw a figure call her a huge before failing over it ok I'll bet a couple envy breeze work, even if only that was skip could be of help. Where's that guy it's got her we're slamming above and more footsteps and the occasional curse. Clearly, shit was about to get real. He went up to the third floor in search of thornton, so thornton as the other guy thornton is supposed to be on the right. Okay, he's on he's on hitchcock's side thornton on yeah he's on the two guys that are supposed to be in charge right and so far, not going with that guy in the corridor. He came across a stalker carrying a stick of wood and reeling with

Can this hitchcock ordered him to stop but stock or just stood there watching him John? Go on necessary business, cabin applied stocker before stuff bring down the hall again the star, to me and against the wall and wrenched, but did not vomit. It's got continued on and went to the second floor. It seems like ran up and I put a pit address. as that can all be back when you're done retching like a sick bird yeah. By the way, the smell of the rich, not good, not good. It's mutton and nog are are of god, because god governed, Xin Davis, heard hitchcock steps from room eleven where the another party was going on and saw him moving towards room five. Having heard their collective move of defiance against authority while having a drinking from five earlier that evening, Davis,

Save hitchcock hitchcock at present previously spoken highly of davis at a court martial as hitchcock entered room, five to be confronted by a party even bigger than twenty. Eight Davis person and shouted put away. The boys captain, Hitchcock's cox, common only to realise hitchcock, was already there wait. Sorry So hitchcock goes into the room, so Davis heard they were going to. They were threatening to kill hitch right. So he saw him walking that way and then he ran down to the room and burst in and yelled everybody watch out. Hitchcock come on, but hitchcock was already, but it was just a straight up: miscommunication,

it was like a tactic or anything he would. He just was like going to save him, but he's already in the room. Okay, interesting so hitchcock was like, oh god, okay you're, not helping thanks for all the help, basil Davis and others were placed under arrest in order to their rooms. Hitchcock read the group the riot act, which is the thing which declares that any group of twelve or more people are unlawfully assembled, okay and open to punitive action right. So he read them the actual right, so he's right, so he the that they are drunk with swords and pistols and he's reading a law he's reading a lot of them. I'm sure that'll, work, yeah yeah for sure. Is it not work? Well, yeah. It's a straightforward thing: yeah, no, better way to calm them down, then tell them to stop work. Davis returned to his room, hitchcock question the occupant about liquor. Then hitchcock ordered severe the cadet responsible for the room to open trunks, severe refused instead simply lying down against a wall.

Not interested. I just want to take the no snow sleep open these days, sleep here, sure of how to handle the situation. Hitchcock left it was now four. Fifty pm am sorry for fifty it's it's it's not. I mean at this point it's kind of a race against time. It's just kind of like wait. A couple more hours in the day is going to start the movie yeah right, it's daylight. Exactly three cadets were discovered. by a cadet james g, overturn a relief sentinel and not involved in the parties. Any questions about their actions. They gave a drunken exploit about needing drums and a five we were actually were trying to help, because we had together five king cassandra

was a girl who don't. I am we're on no other james elles and leave him alone. She were china's versions, will wake up by drug who usually be helpful? roy, find zaga horror by applying measures. Drugs, the other officers, given the duty of keeping an eye on the cadets its notice. I rats thornton awoke around this time, so thornton rose and began wandering through the quarters were found to cadets with ruffle than and buttoned shirts. Imagine im just going for like his morning, like alright, make sure everything's, tiptop and gentlemen color. Do you what's it going to our? He is so dear dear. My chests. Excuse me my chest: okay, soap and

Only at this time he was lot less than the top five because he was wielding a curved sort of thought and placed him is that maintain us third place them under arrest and told them to return to their rooms. He asked fitzgerald for the weapon, but this jail refused screaming at thornton, maniacal tutors kick it sets fucking terrify your sword. Soldiers he's a little like, probably expecting everything to be cool, yeah, then he's ok crowns and these

It's not good. Mia Fitzgerald then struck the floor three times with a sword. walked off to room twenty nine love and how he's handling it loving it loving the move. Just then a thornton heard the sound of a drum and fife outside. Morning. The men were jeeringly musicians who had stolen the instruments from miss garter they got so drunk. They stopped caring about being caught like they.

It probably started out as like a lead sneak. It will be hung over and now they're, literally based on shit and they're laughing and thorntons. Their thornton went down stairs to put an end to the terrible music, but never made it as he was struck by at roberts, with a piece of firewood and knocked unconscious. Jesus Christ yeah it's not good. Taking care of business. Listen did. Did you read the riot act properly. Hallways were now complete chaos. Men ran from room to room waving swords and baskets. Yeah yells echoed the hallways firewood withdrawn. about crashing into walls and windows and occasional shot was fired a cadet, open the window for fresh air only to vomit and crash unconscious, passing out in his own filth. Oh wait! So he he out the window and then fell out the window onto his barf. Here is just a landings,

but that is just by honestly. I could picturing. This is insane. Ok, maybe five m cadet gian got a pistol from south bergs, with the intent of killing hitchcock Its citizens say: ok,

At the same time, hitchcock was in Israel so drunk they wanted to kill everyone yeah like anyone above them, they now want to kill yeah. It's lord of the flies. Okay good, so hitchcock was in his room at this point, worried that blood would be spilled. Suddenly there were violent blows on his door. Firewood was being heaved at the door like a battering ram, jan smashed at the door, which was very close to splintering impatient. He pulled out his pistol and aimed at the door the crowd of men around himself violent as he pulled the trigger cadet thompson, accidentally bumped him, causing the shot to hit the side of the door stones were now being thrown at the barrack windows from outside, including hitchcock tits cut, so they just breaking, although it now he if it's got it, but this is not good. This is not good. I should have put three guys on guard kid got burst out of his room and the startled cadets retreated in the quarter hitchcock salmon.

Matching windows with clubs go to your room ordered some of them now did, but most did not get scammed abandoned that philosophy. If anything it's now this, but you do now. This is the move. You pretend you got drunk too and you also want to kill the people on your staff. Hitchcock then heard the morning. Bugle call and thinking this meant it was daylight. He was relieved to know what an idiot it was not. It was a false morning being a car, you guys plow yeah, but also what does he think like that and a bugle smacked stop them but he just thought yeah I get bugles not going to make them I'll, be like oh wait a minute. We reacted badly. He went to thornton's but no one was there and rocks are being thrown at thorntons window like giggling men giggling, leaving a thorn

rome. Hitchcock came up against another man whom he ordered to halt, but the cadet instead race to club against hitchcock. Ok, there's a brief struggle, but where the cadet dashed off another man hitchcock encountered just stood there until hitchcock moved on to the awkward I love those guys yet just like. I think it's just better. If I just walked by this one he he then arrested hamilton for a third time that night when he was caught in the hallways. Well, maybe it's time to switch tact. Chicago cadet, overton and ordered him to get the calm here, meaning come commandant worth a bunch of drunk cadets overheard this as get the bombardiers, they hated artillery man. I'm ok wait! So here you see one of the coming,

and what do they think he isn't it. I said, get the calm here and they thought he said, get the bomb dear and that means kill. That means that these are tiller. as they hate her coming. Oh Jesus, It's like mother, fucker, no way sos docker loaded, his pistol with gunpowder and no balls firing it several times. He ordered men to fortify the north barracks against the oncoming attack from the bombardier. Oh, my god, they're so drunk there. So drunk burdock heard the and awaited the invasion he stood at the eighth face. He s got a guy. It's did at the entrance to the bags and asked each could at passing. Are you a bombardier, a gentleman I mean what would sort of business. This is it's almost like they don't they. Some of them haven't heard about lying yet go gentlemen your story checks out

I in fitzgerald his hand, now cut and bleeding by the window panes his sliced with his sword. Good move made his way to room eleven in the south barracks there. he rallied men to join the fight against the bombardiers before he fellas on his bloodied for ready. I lay everyone. Our later right now I get a killer wherever there. How are you, I think he's saying now: hitchcock continue to die to restore order in the north bags and he got into a fistfight with cadet water ot. It must be pretty fun to fistfight, a guy that I am totally sober- I mean so easy know what I mean you just kind of like you know what motherfucker this is over. Although you he'd be the kind of guy you would punch and you'd be like hey Sofia. Athens still be like. I will keep hugging you until you feel something

Third, in the work on a stairway where he had been knocked out and to his room. Ok, hitchcock, greeted in his room at five. Forty five m by six o clock. Other cadets, who were not drinking, also got involved in restoring order. At the same time, the main writers were attempting to recruit other cadets, but having little success. Well, it's also it's exam yeah and try like for a drunken recruit to a sober person. So I'm just telling you this the way it's like no you're, really. I got scared stars more knock, no, no, no, no, no more, nor the guy has a sword or martinique fits each and every sort of hand, as elsewhere in the window. No, no! No! No! No! No! You guys, no more! Nor guys! That's our five year, He had no, no guys five species goes source nos fifty, fifty highly bad wounded. I got you should be

Those of us could go alone are not enough, no more nor god, now no more than the whole all right, one dog. Finally, David bro, and the real morning bigger was sounded com william worth had by this point, come to put an end to the cask just his presence and the man parties party's over worth saw men strewn on airways and leaning on rally on railings glass was smashed glass was everywhere. The man gathered in assembly area. Around seven. Am a man so uncomfortable all the men from south barracks, completely sober, woke, shocked to find such a scene of destruction when does have been smashed along with the buildings furniture.

Banister has been ripped from stairways thrown down with other rebel shards of shattered plates dishes and cups were on the ground. Meanwhile, the north beret cadets stumbled out of the barracks closed torn many were barefoot, swearing, threatening, academy officials and obviously still very drunk Jesus Christ's cabinet, with no she's the Torah fuck. You may survive you suck my dick lieutenant sit out as on sit down. Fuck you ship bag, face greater measures were rums, sound, five Jesus christ Some men remained in the rooms and continued drinking Those guys legends the ambient legit champions behind the cadets, who attempted to line up in prayed formation, west points, north barracks stood in a state of near ruin, took it. Ass, were hugging and crying

and laughing, and ever increasing group of men were ignoring roll call or answering yes to every night, tap present to their huge. present moreau air jaeger. Here will do boasted of his drum it's time for more than just the other, but rather by a large. It's like I'm really good at the Jerome A more or less of the drugs chummage drama trembled in nice Are there not around the world? Are they gonna pick a fight? Some still cried out that the bombardiers were coming. It's it's shit.

Men smashed windows on their way to rocket outside setting guy here's the roll call horn any just. Why king. There throwing rocks we're we're? Just as he goes, it's an either or keep rioting or go to roll call. The officers just stood there taking notes. The call was finally abandoned due to chaos. Jesus Christ during breakfast fights continue to break out in the mess hall What how was I mean? How are they not getting a little amerika? How will the grech has happened? I figure so hammered they can and does so many of them there just like. Ok, just let them go and the peter? Oh, so they are just like what will go there, just watching they're, just watching and taking notes. After breakfast, they went to chapel forward to our servers, while I'm sure that that was very, very religious. Twenty two cadets were then placed on

house arrest until further notice among them was Jefferson Davis, who had been reported as one of the criminals by hitchcock and thornton about a third of the cadets. Approximately one hundred men had been involved in what would come to be known as the egg nog riot wow. Finally, the craziest riot name ever yep and inquire was open. After almost a month of investigation, the decision was made to Court martial nineteen cadets for their conduct on christmas eve and dining too many men would have reflected poorly on the academy by reinforcing it's old image of in place of anarchy. Ah, fair chose to deal with only the most aggressive offenders, the inquiry included testimony from a hundred and sixty seven witnesses holy shit. The gentleman code of honor among the cadets and what they saw as their moral obligation. To tell the truth meant that thousands of pages of transcriptions of the accounts of men had been collected by march.

eleven cadets found that they no longer were allowed to wear the gray and were dismissed from west point These were the ones who smuggled the whisky, the cadets, who incited the riots and several others, those expelled included fitzgerald guiana stocker. The eight cadets were given eight other cats, were given a reprieve, including mad billy murdoch private john, dug in the man who had taken the thirty five sets the river I'm really sorry, I mean really that guy was the seed, yet he was sentenced to one month, hard, labor and forfeited a whiskey ration for the same period. Okay thornton was assaulted, with a club in eighteen, twenty eight by cadet, and that cadet was given the death penalty, which was later commuted. Fair continues.

strengthen west point as an academic institution leaving in eighteen, thirty, three having influenced other solutions, glinting harboured and the u s naval academy, he died in eighteen, seventy two having never married his remains, were buried at west point. No charges were filed against jefferson Davis turns out. Jefferson Davis had missed almost everything instead of following his friends and resisting arrest, Davis stumbled back to his room, threw up and passed out The nice pass all right there in his memoirs. Davis would claim that he didn't name names but in fact, record show that he implicated his made in the melee when his remit, turn. The dorm walk, Davis up and loaded his gun later this morning case was scar. Mornings ran just given take off hey. You know your name names road, no shut your mild. Today we Davis graduated at the bottom of the class.

time tie with academy brood a long, lasting, a hatred for yankees, I'm eighteen. Sixty when he was inaugurated as the president of the confederate states of america what he continued to love economic games. Oh that's the guy, oh yeah, that's so at bottom of the class yep okay, yep bottom, the class total drunk It hey, president of the confederacy, can lead us and our normal beliefs, hitchcock, left and came back to west point as commandant. He then left again and was promoted to major in eighteen. Thirty, eight by eighteen, forty two to achieve the rank of lieutenant colonel in the third infantry regiment in command of fort stansbury. He, sir, in a seminal war in florida and in the mexican american war, where he served as general. One word scots inspector general in the march

mexico city, he even worse. If he he received the brevet promotion to colonel, which is like you get it for exemplary action and for counter us and to bring it about formally nor the re in october. Eighty four to five years, I am from the army, following our refusal by secretary of war, Jefferson Davis, to extend a form of leave of absence that requested for reasons of hell, interesting, yeah That's funny! I worked out pay your memory, ignore right, mother very yet

You kiss me the keys, this year I was working the yeah not well. Okay, it's okay! These days, not many current cadets at west point know about the egg raw egg, nog rice yeah, I'm sure they're like yeah, nothing. None of the buildings from the eggnog riot remain on the west point's present day campus, but the rights to have a lasting impact and impact on the campuses architecture in eighteen. Forty,

is when new barracks are built. They included short hallways that require cadets to exit the building entirely in order to access and other floor. This discontent crack a droll made it harder for us to get out of hand and gather in large numbers. West point. No longer has a grand holiday celebration apply and where there are parties access to our calls extremely limited, so the odds of radically that's too much of the good stuff remains. of legend holy shit. That's something here! An agnostic fuelled west point riot, yeah yeah, that's something! I mean it's probably easy to tear those buildings down, though after the kids got involved, probably like there's not much. The foundation just needs to be stripped. That should be a movie. Oh god, are you kidding me yeah, it's nuts, it's fucking, incredible yeah!

It's animal house, an eggnog, related point! It really is even done to the zero point: zero jesus- god bless america yeah, I mean hey, you know what I mean yeah, god bless as in the new york city public school system.
