They were housed in residences, county jails, basements, attics, prisons, and other tucked-away places to effectively be forgotten. Through her efforts, the United States established state-run hospitals. Philadelphian psychiatrist and psychiatry pioneer Thomas Story Kirkbride (July 31, 1809 – December 16, 1883) devised a revolutionary plan based on the philosophies of moral treatment and environmental determinism.

Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy have an uncanny number of parallels between their lives – is it possible the two men are somehow connected? Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy reached major milestones in their political careers a century apart. Lincoln and Kennedy were elected into Congress in 1846 and 1946, respectively.

August 27, 1908), were born one hundred years apart from each other. They were both southern Democrats bearing the same surname.
