#robinwilliams #politicalhistory #ushistory

Sure, you probably already know that Robin Williams is one of the greatest actors and comedians of all time.

But did you know that his middle name was McLaurin? It’s a…uh…weird middle name, but it was his mom’s maiden name. (turns) Oh by the way…his mom’s great grandfather was a well-known U.S. Senator and governor.

Yep, Robin William’s great-great grandpa was Anselm McLaurin, the 34th Governor of Mississippi who also represented the state in the U.S. Senate during the Progressive Era. His big issue was trying to create inflation with an easy money policy, baby. He also railed against railroad corporations (pun not intended there), arguing they should be taxed more.

But the most interesting fact about Robin Williams’s great-great grandfather was probably that, at the age of 16, he enlisted to fight for the Confederate army during the Civil War and became well-known for his bravery during it

Wonder how he would have felt knowing his great great grandson would portray Teddy Roosevelt in a film.

He married a woman named Laura . Laura McLaurin. She must have really loved him to do that to herself.

On a similar note, Alexander Hamilton's great-great-grandfather was John Napier, the famous Scottish mathematician who discovered logarithms

Mr.Beat who knew that Robin William's heritage was far more influential and powerful than we thought.

Anselm was known to improvise his way through filibusters for hours. We should have seen it coming.

Fun fact: American actor Keifer Sutherland is the maternal grandson of Canadian politician Tommy Douglas, the grandfather of Canada's Universal Healthcare system, the first leader of the NDP, and a former Premier of Saskatchewan

And to think the great-great-great granddaughter is named after a video game.

I won’t hold Robins G-G Grandpa against him. We don’t get to choose our relatives.

I like how you just put history out there as history, good, bad, or indifferent.

Another interesting one: Kiefer Sutherland’s grandfather was Tommy Douglas, the premier of Saskatchewan who enacted the first single-payer healthcare system in Canada
