Lincoln died when America was still a British Colony. Can you imagine how many more people he could have freed if he himself were free?

Shakespeare died when we still hadn't even invented the idea of theater. Can you imagine how many great plays he could have written had he been around to?

I think about this as well, similar to the British samurais that tried to conquer Rome but failed, guns were invented in London only 3 years after their defeat, if only they waited

I've always thought what it would be like to bring an intellectual (or anyone, really) back from the dead that last lived a few hundred years ago---and be with them one-on-one to explain and see their reaction to electricity, planes, vehicles, air conditioning, refrigerators, microwaves, frozen food, fast food, televisions, computers, internet, smart phones, SJW Halloween costume policing, etc.

I wonder how overwhelmed they would be. And for how long.

George Washington came this close to being assassinated by a low-flying pterodactyl, had he been standing on that same spot a mere 200 years earlier.

It was probably a little more commonly believed than it is today, but more due to ignorance than stupidity. The excuse back then being that if no one told you the prevailing scientific theory, it actually makes pretty decent sense that the world would be flat
