About Every Major Theory About The Lizzie Borden Case Explained
August 4, 1892. A quiet Fall River home. Two brutal murders that still divide history. Step inside 92 Second Street as historians retrace the morning Abby and Andrew Borden were killed, why the house’s locked doors and a bowl of leftover mutton stew matter, and how a reported giggle on the staircase became legend. We examine the infamous 90 minute gap between killings, the handless hatchet, pears in the barn, and theories that range from Lizzie’s motive to the shadowy roles of John Morse and the rumored William Borden. Then follow the case into courtrooms, onto the AP wire, and through a century of pop culture shaping a woman the world thinks it knows. From forensic artifacts at the Fall River Historical Society to Maplecroft and the myths that refuse to die, this is a meticulous look at what we can prove — and what still haunts the story. Watch to discover the clues you may have missed and decide what you believe happened in that house. Watch now and step into America’s most debated unsolved case.

1789 shattered old certainties and ignited Romantic art. This episode traces how revolution, the sublime, and the individual reshaped painting across Europe. From the fall of the Bastille, Western artists challenged neoclassical rules and elevated private feeling, nature, and the heroic or tragic individual. We unpack Edmund Burke's pairing of beauty and the sublime and Jean-Jacques Rousseau's call for the dignity of the individual that fueled this turn. In France, Jacques-Louis David bridges neoclassicism and romantic impulse, from the Oath of the Horatii to Napoleon at the St Bernard Pass, while his pupil Antoine-Jean Gros intensifies emotion. Théodore Géricault transforms a recent disaster into monumental history in The Raft of the Medusa, rebuilding the raft from a survivor's model and seizing the moment a rescue ship is sighted but sails on; later he explores extreme states in portraits from an asylum. Eugène Delacroix advances the movement with Dante and Virgil, The Massacre at Chios, The Death of Sardanapalus, and the emblematic Liberty Leading the People, where a red-capped, tricolor-bearing Liberty strides with citizens of every class over the July barricades.
