Churchill’s mother Lady Randolph (Jennie Jerome) was an American born in Brooklyn, which of course made Winston half American.
</span>While serving a dual role as a war correspondent and military officer in South Africa, Churchill <span>was taken captive by the Boers. He was able to scale a wall and sneak out one night. After hiding in a mineshaft and sneaking aboard a train, he was able to rejoin the fight after a week.

He was also accident prone and still managed to make it to 90 years old!
As a child, Churchill suffered from concussions and ruptured kidney while playing on a bridge. Once, he nearly drown in a Swiss lake (yikes!). He fell from multiple horses (done that). Dislocated his shoulder (painful!) disembarking from a ship in India. Crashed a plane while learning to fly (if he was alive i wouldnt want him piloting any plane im on). Was hit by a car while crossing 5th Avenue in New York (again, painful!)
<span>What an adventure!</span>
Churchill suffered from depression all his life, but his mental health deteriorated markedly in his final years. It didn't help that one daughter was suicidal while another was a drunkard. His physical health also continued to decline, and he suffered a series of strokes.

The Gettysburg Address is a speech delivered by Abraham Lincoln at the November 19, 1863, dedication of Soldier's National Cemetery, a cemetery for Union soldiers killed at the Battle Of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. ...

It caused widespread panic and started a depression.
