The Northern picture of slave treatment
In the South, the view of slavery evolved from "a necessary evil" to "a positive good". Slavery, according to this view, was good for the country and good for the enslaved. In the North the change was the reverse, as the country gradually became more and more polarized. About 1820, slavery was seen as a problem to be ended gradually, and with a seemingly elegant solution: sending the unwanted freed slaves "back to Africa". As the South became more pro-slavery, the North became progresively more anti-slavery. Where it had been perceived as, if not a necessary evil, then a problem to be solved, but without disruption, it came to be seen as the most evil of human practices: "if slavery is not wrong, then nothing is wrong", President Lincoln famously observed. It was an unqualified evil, a disgrace, an economic curse on the slave states, a sin against God. The campaign to export Blacks to Africa was a failure.

At the time of the American Revolution, chattel slavery was legal in every state except the future Vermont. Between then and 1865, when slavery was outlawed nationally by the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, every Northern state outlawed slavery, usually gradually. 1840 census Although it was not planned as such, and was nearly forgotten as part of an old border dispute, the Mason-Dixon line became an informal divider between those states, all Southern, which permitted slavery, and those states, all Northern, that prohibited it.

The changes in the Northern positions on slavery were gradual.

Speakers Publications Petitions D.c. campaign

Contrast with woman taken to England. Douglas and other speakers.

The South was una le to produce any slave writings or speakers on the pleasures of slavery. Faithful slave committee.

Border patrol
8d complaints, over many years, of Border Patrol agents mistreating migrants and exceeding their legal authority. The Border Patrol refuses to have its agents wear body cameras. Plagued by sexism and misogyny, the Border Patrol has the lowest proportion of female agents or officers of any federal agency.

Most Border Patrol agents were enthusiastic about the 2016 election of President Donald Trump, with his anti-immigrant policy;  he is the only presidential candidate that the union of Border Patrol officers has ever endorsed. Most agents supported President Trump's wall project.

The 2020 victory of Joe Biden, who had promised immigration reform, left them feeling abandoned and bitter.

Immigration policy
Proposed new section on History of United States immigration policyI'm going to add a section on the history of U.S. immigration policy, that being understood as what the laws or official decisions say. This is quite different from the history of inmigration, which studies what actually happened. The laws and policies were what was supposed to happen according to someone. It's a history of raciwt thinking, actually: who do you favor and who do you keep out? What is right and what is wrong? And the current immigration law is quite enlightened, it's just not being enforced properly. We are in the middle of an immigration crisis. There are plenty of reliable sources for all of this. I've thought about where this should be located. It isn't going to be very long and I'll try to keep it as a piece that could easily stand alone if and when the article is aplit. I'm thinking of making it the first section after the lede, before the history. This is not because it's so important, but because it's the only sequence

Darién province
The Provincia de Darién was an administrative unit of colonial Spain. Its borders extended on the north into what is today Costa Rica. On the south it extended to the "País o Provincia de Biruquete"0. All of this part is in the modern Chocó Department. However, the Darién Gulf was not the end of it; it extended east into the modern Antioquia and Córdoba Departments.

Wikipedia is a language
[The following draws on the languages I know best, which are the Romance languages Spanish, Portuguese, French, and mutatis mutandis Latin, and to a much lesser degree the Semitic languages Arabic and Hebrew.]

What is a language? It's not necessarily something you speak. There is machine language, which used to be part of computer programming (see Autocoder) but is now limited to chip design. There is sign language. Two people in a love relationship will, without conscious effort, develop "their own language". This has been seen as a defining feature of a relationship: without the special or love language, there is no serious relationship. There are artificial languages, like Esperanto (Latin-based) and Loglan (more international).

A language is a system of communication. It is a system of symbols, in which the letters c-a-t and the sound of the spoken word represent or refer to the animal. It is also a way to organize the world, and different languages organize the world in different ways. In Spanish, those with whom one uses "tú" (English "thou", but in common use) and those one refers to as "usted" are two categories of people for which there are no English equivalents. There are untranslatable words, lkke the Portuguese saudade (nostalgia for a specific thing, place, or person). In Spanish, one can challenge someone to a duel (deafiar), but the English usage of challenge to oneself, as in "It's a challenge to stay happy given current conditions", has no translation in Spanish.

Soon one runs into the relation between language and national character: whether something significant can be concluded from such linguistic differences as German's ability to compound words (doghouse, windshield, setback), or the receptivity of English, for which there is no central linguistic authority, to foreign words, like pizza or maven: to what extent the language shapes the people, and to what extent the people shape the language.

Any language is by definition a code, and codes have rules. Languages organize time in different ways from English: the past—the definite, the fixed—and everything else, present or future. Numbers can be different: every European language has singular and plural nouns, but some also have "duals"—a form of the plural that means "two and only two". Some words in some languages have multiple plurals depending on details of meaning.

Languages existed before there were rules for them or dictionaries of them. Languages are constantly changing. Can be retarded, as national language academies and reference books attempt to do, but can't be stopped. Most linguistic innovation by children.

English open to foreign words. That's why we have cow and beef,

Wikipedia is a system of written communication. It requires that everything said, save obvious facts like "Washington DC is the capital of the United States", must be verifiable. Everything must be linked to something else: an article with no links to it is an orphan and is by definition problematic. Every article must belong to some category, and every category has to have articles in it. At a simpler level it can be handled

To use the Wikipedia language, you make a statement, you write a sentence. You can use any human language; placing what you write in that languages's Wikipedia. Rule: everything needs to be linked to something Anything you weite must have a name, a title. Links are good.

East west highway in ny stste
From pompey ny The hamlet of Pompey developed about 10.5 miles (17 km) south of the main east-west Native American trail across the state, used for generations. European-American settlers improved the trail and developed it as the Genesee Road (1794) and then the Seneca Turnpike (1800), running through the villages of Cazenovia, Manlius and Onondaga Hollow (south of Syracuse). The segment of modern U.S. Route 20 (US 20), which connects Cazenovia and Skaneateles by way of Pompey and LaFayette, was not built until 1934.

Victor Hugo
Wikisource Not in the Daily News I looked at the Daily News (I assume that's what's meant by the London News) of December 1859 (on newspapers.com, which WP got me a subscription to), and did not find this text anywhere. The closest thing was on Dec. 9 where there is advertised a volumeSpeeches at the Reform Caucus, (https://www.newspapers.com/image/390849052/?terms=Hugo&match=1), which has "Victor Hugo on Old John Brown". Though it doesn't say so clearly, these seem to be newspaper pieces and the newspaper mentioned is Lloyd's Weekly London Newspaper". I went looking for thatand found Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper,'' published in London, but it's not there.

The London Standard of December 9 has talk of it in a report from their Paris correspondent. (https://newspaperarchive.com/london-standard-dec-09-1859-p-5/)

The Janesville Morning Gazette of Janesville, Wisconsin (it came off the wire) has it on December 29, sauing it came from the London News of December 9.

former letter
{yo|R}} There is plenty of documentation of the importance of the Weld–Grimké relationship in the context of early or proto feminism; their love letters have been published. There is a parallel in a related article, the one on the Grimké sisters, which I personally had nothing to do with. Everything, at least theoretically, could go into the articles on the two sisters (Angelina, Sarah). But the two, as a team, get their own article. And if you can have an article on a team of two sisters, why not about a husband and wife team? But it seems strange to write an article on their relationship, their marriage, their partnership. But "wedding" is the traditional place to discuss the two together, and it was a most unusual wedding. It was capped by the worst case of arson in American history as of that date (except for the British burning the Capitol and the White House during the War of 1812). The grand new venue, in which Angelina was the last speaker, while the windows were being broken, whose inauguration all of these out of town visitors were there to attend, was burned to the ground, and rioters prevented firemen from saving the building.

Anyway, I've put Under Construction on it. As you probably know, that is deleted autonatically after inactivity, and I'm adking you to postpone any decision and action until I'm done, at which point I will take the Under Construction down. It won't be long. deisenbe (talk) 13:18, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

First Niagara Conference
The First Niagara Conference was an influential meeting of 29 Black leaders that took place on July 11, 12, and 13 of 1905.

Background
https://archive.org/details/ERIC_ED467297/mode/2up The origin of the Niagara Movement is found in the dissatisfaction of W. E. B. Du Bois and other Black intellectuals with the approach of Booker T. Washington. In his Atlanta Compromise speech,

Original location: Buffalo, New York
At the last minute, advancing the cost out of his pocket, DuBois moved the convention to the former Erie Beach Hotel in Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada (not to be confused with the modern Erie Beach Hotel in Port Dover, Ontario). The location of the Conference was kept semi-secret, and However, not one of the several newspaper articles on the Conference mentions Canada, Ontario, or Erie Beach; they uniformly say the Conference was held in Buffalo,    The Constitution of the Niagara Movement reads: "As Adopted July 12 and 13, 1905, at Buffalo, New York". except for one that says it took place in Niagara Falls, New Yorkl

The explanation for the secrecy was the concern about possible disruption from partisans of more conservative Booker T. Washington, Washington later made serious attempts to infiltrate, isolate, minimize, and starve the Movement. He sent Richard Greener to the Second Niagara Conference, in Harpers Ferry, with the explocit charge to spy and report.

29 men attended.

Du Bois wrote William H. Talbert June 13 looking for place outside the city.

Capt. Avis

Captain John Avis was deputy sheriff and in charge of the Jefferson County jail, in Charlestown, Virginia (today Charles Town, West Virginia. He was

"I visited the scene of his imprison- ment and execution, in the spring of 1875, and met his honorable jailer, John Avis, whose later portrait is here given. He had been a captain in the Confederate army under Dee, andhadceasedtobeprison-keeper; but was the same composed, friendly man that Brown had found him, in the six weeks he lived in that prison. So much was Brown affected by his kindness that when a rescue was proposed to him by friends at the North,

he refused to consider it saying that it would not be fair to Captain Avis to attempt aught of the kind.

The Road (the parameter "via")
A parameter is a component of a description. In describing a book, one parameter would be the author, another the date, and so on.

A citation is a description of data. It describes a destination. where to go. God, the author, may be sending you on a journey, or just suggesting one, but here is a place you could go. And some of you will.

"Via", in a Wikipedia citation, gives the road to find the article or data you seek: where the article may be found, how to get to it. Some of this data is easy to find, as it grows (reproduces itself) as fast as it can. Much data is behind locked gates, castle walls, barricades. A toll may be demanded! You may have to identify yourself! Some destinations are off-limits to individuals altogether; the only access is via a subscriber, uusually a library. And no library subscribes to everything.

It all sounds very medieval to me. Our life is a journey. There is a path to follow. Stray from the path and difficulty or disaster will follow.

Unfortunately, if the history of publishing shows anything, it's that these paths can change, or disappear altogether. Already there are isolated islands, clouds of orphaned data, or writings, lost continents of data on pbsolere medis that an explorer needs to find and analyze.

Why do I want that data? Is it correct? Why am I on this road and not on a different one?

These are metaphysical questions. A superior being has created this world, and you.

Humanity's knowledge—really, our identity—lives in storage media, devices, powered manufactured memory. Will parts always be available for these devices? Will there be factories to produce these parts? Will raw materials be available?

Will this always be available? If that isn't an act of faith, I don't know what one is.

free baptists
The American Baptist Free Mission Society was founded in 1843, in Boston, due to the founders' inability to get the larger Baptist Mission Societies to commit to opposing slavery. This dispute within the church would lead to the formation of the Southern Baptist Convention in 1845.

Among its distinguished members were William Henry Brisbane, Nathan Brown, John Duer, and Cyrus Grosvenor. The latter was very involved in the project for which the society is most remembered, the founding of New York Central College. It was the first college in the country which from its opening was committed to admitting all students (including blacks and women) on an equal basis. Un When active,the Society raised and spent $3,000 to $22,000 per year. Missionaries were sent to Haiti, Burma, Japan, and "Africa", However, most were missions to blacks in the United States, west of the Apallachians and especially in the American South.

With the end of slavery in the U.S. in 1865, and by 1872 the Society had ceased active operations and transferred assets to other Baptist organizations. The Society sponsored the formation of New-York Central College,. Leland University

In 1848, a slave rebellion on St. Croix, at that time part of the Danish West Indies, led to the end of slavery in that colony

The triangular Danish slave trade, taking enslaved laborers from west Africa to work on primarily sugar plantations in the Caribbean, was outlawed in 1792, although the prohibition did not become effective until January 1, 1803. However, slavery itself continued. In 1833 the enslaved were freed in the British West Indies and the British Colony of Jamaica.

Peter von Scholten, who became Governor-General of the Danish West Indies in 1827, was a persistent advocate in favor of gradual abolition of slavery. In 1847, it was decided that slavery was to be abolished completely after 12 years. In the meantime, the children born to enslaved parents were born free.

Scholten was criticized for having exceeded his authority with these measures.

The slave rebellion on St. Croix
But that was too little and too late. In July 1848, a slave rebellion started on St. Croix. Big crowds of enslaved laborers from the town and the plantations took complete control of the small town of Frederiksted. One of the leading men among the rebels was the enslaved laborer John Gottlieb, called General Buddhoe.

The situation was critical. Von Scholten saw no other recourse than taking matters into his own hands in order to ward off avert a devastating rebellion. On July 3, 1848, he drove to Frederiksted, spoke to the rebels, and issued a proclamation saying that "all unfree in the Danish West Indies are from today emancipated". It has since been said that von Scholten and John Gottlieb entered into a secret prior agreement, but there is no evidence supporting this.

The Governor-General had no authority to abolish slavery. He came under severe attack for his decision, both by the members of the West Indian government and by slave owners. The owners had lost a large part of their wealth without knowing what compensation, if any, to expect. Von Scholten suffered a nervous breakdown because of the events and left the islands soon thereafter.

Commemoration in the U.S. Virgin Islands
The United States purchased the Virgin Islands from Denmark in 1917. The United States Virgin Islands celebrates July 3, the date of Von Scholten's proclamation, as Emancipation Day, an official holiday.

Amos Dresser
Amos Dresser''' (December 17, 1812 – February 4, 1904) was an abolitionist and pacifist minister, one of the founders of Olivet College. His name was well known in the antebellum period because of a well-publicized incident: in 1835 he was arrested, tried, convicted, and publicly whipped in Nashville, Tennessee, for possession of abolitionist publications. −		 −

The Negro Problem
The phrase "The Negro Problem" was used before the Civil War, by prominent abolitionist Frederick Douglass along with many others, before the Civil War to refer to the national conundrum of what to do with slaves who became free.

Prior to the emergence of the proslavery movement, itself a response to the forceful emergence of abolitionism in the 1830s, everyone, at least in theory, was opposed to slavery. The national debate was on what opyions there were for ending slavery. Freeing slaves and turning them into voting citizens was at the time a radical idea, "far outside mainstream thinking". (See Radical Republicans.)

Free blacks were unwanted
Few wanted freed slaves, widely though not universally seen as inferior, lazy, licentious, dangerous men and women, incapable of or unwilling to work and support themselves. In the South free blacks were not wanted because they were thought to encourage slave escapes and rebellions, and to communicate to slaves information about escape routes and the Underground Railroad. Hostility to the freeing of slaves reached such a level that manumission was forbidden in South Carolina; therefore, a special act of the legislature was required to free any slave in the state. In North Carolina and some other states, newly freed slaves had to leave the state within 30 days. In Florida, in a practice sinilar to sex offender registration, free blacks had to register at the county courthouse and pay a tax of $1/year; each had to have a white sponsor who would be sued in case of misconduct by the black, since blacks could not be sued.

In the North free blacks were not wanted either; cases of mob violence against blacks, often involving "gentlemen of property and stsnding", were widespread in the North. (They were rare in the South.) Free blacks were seen as unwanted immigrants, undercutting wages and stealing jobs that otherwise whitss could fill. Discrimination against African Americans was completely legal, and their conditions are almost inconceivable today (2020). They could not stay at hotels or eat at restsurants; if passengers on a riverboat, they had to stay on deck, regardless of weather, and could not enter the cabin. They could not ride in a stagecoach. They were excluded ftom schools they were taxed to aupport. This list could be greatly extended.

Given this situation, the logical conclusion of most whites was that the Blacks shoukd be encouraged, helped, or forced to emigrate, to leave the United States and go somewhere else. The Blacks themselves, many of whom had lived in the United States for generations, were overwhelmingly opposed to leaving the country. As far as Africa is concerned, they said repeatedly that they were no more African than the Americans were British.

The Republic of Maryland, Kentucky in Africa, Mississippi-in-Africa, and other colonies that combined to form Liberia are the only enduring result of this movement. However, there were a number of other proposals.

A reservation for blacks
After the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, one idea was that Blacks could be assigned some part of these lightly-inhabited territories, to establish there their own polity, a predecessor of what happened with Native Americans in the 1830s. These proposals did not get beyond the talking stage.

Pamphlet campaign of 1835
see https://www.jstor.org/stable/40067812



After its foundation in 1833, the American Anti-Slavery Society sought to carry the anti-slavery message by every means possible. With funding from the Tappans, it hired Theodore Weld to run workshops training anti-slavery agents, many of them ministers. It was in one of these training workshops that Weld and Angelina Grimké met; they would marry in 1838.

In the summer of 1835 the American Anti-slavery Society, with funding from the Tappans, began a campaign to print and mail large quantities of pamphlets and broadsides to people in the South. This was because it was too dangerous to send human abolitionists into the South. One, Amos Dresser, was publicly and officially whipped in Nashville, and barely got out alive. Reuben Crandall, brother of Prudence Crandall, was arrested in Washington, DC, and found innocent, but he died of a pneumonia contracted during months in jail.

This project — mailing large quantites of publications — was made possible by the relatively new steam printing press, which ran much faster than a manual press and thus brought the cost of printing down significantly — savings for the American Anti-Slavery Society were almost 50%. At the same time, the United States had created a reliable postal system. Postmaster jobs were political bonuses to give out, and the Postal Service was expansionistic.

These mailings went to "politicians, clergymen, and other leaders whose names could be cribbed from city directories, proceedings of religious organizations, and other published lists."

Charleston, South Carolina was the postal center of the South. The railroads were being built, but if you wanted to go from Washington DC to anywhere further south than Virginia, one traveled by ship. News of the mailing preceded it, so people in Charleston knew exactly what ship it was coming on, and there was no difficulty identifying just what bag it was in. It was taken to the Post Office.

"The Mail brought by the steam Packet Columbia, arrived this morning, has come not merely laden, but literally overburthened [sic], with the newspaper called The Emancipator, and two Tracts entitled The Anti-Slavery Record, and The Slave's Friend, destined for circulation all over the Southern and Western Country. Now it is a monstrous abuse of the privilege of the public mail, to use it as the vehicle for conveying and scattering in every direction over the South and West the moral poison with which these publications are drugged."

Accounts differ about whether any of the publications were actually delivered, and how much material there was. Some reports refer to "one bag" with abolitionist newspapers, but one bag would not make a bonfire watched by thousands. When Postmaster Albert Huger wrote New York Postmaster Samuel L. Gouverneur, asking for help, he said that the abolitionist publications had "literally filled" the post office. Gouverneur in turn wrote to the Postmaster General, Amos Kendall, in the meantime detaining all the abolitionist mail. Kendall responded that what he had done, though illegal, had the administration's blessing, including that of President Jackson, the Secretary of State, Secretary of War, and Secretary of the Navy.

"Between the hours ot 10 and 11 o'clock, that night [July 29], a number of persons assembled about the Exchange, and without any noise or disturbance, but on the contrary, with coolness and deliberation, made a forcible entry into the Post Office, by wrenching open one of its windows, and carried off the packages containing the incendiary matter."

"[T]he pamphlets, &c. were burned at 8 p. m. the next evening [July 30], opposite the main guard house ["on the Parade ground in front of the citadel"], 3000 persons being present. The effigies of Arthur Tappan, Dr. Cox, and W. L. Garrison, were at the same time suspended. At 9 o'clock the balloon was let off, and the effigies were consumed by the neck, with the offensive documents at their feet."

Likenesses of Cervantes
There is no authentic, documented likeness of Miguel de Cervantes.

Since Cervantes is commonly held to be the greatest author in the Spanish language, author of a work which is undisputedly a classic, it is commonly assumed that a portrait of him must exist. A simple Internet search — such as https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=cervantes — will in fact produce many portraits of him. Historians of Spanish art unanimously agree that there is no documentation that any of them is of the famous author.

We know, from Cervantes' own words in his prologue to the Exemplary Novels, that he had been painted by Juan de Jáuregui. In the same passage, Cervantes complains that the publisher of his work was unwilling to pay to have it engraved, so that it could be used as frontispiece of the book.

An internet search for Jáuregui's portrait of Cervantes — such as https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=cervantes+jauregui — produces hundreds if not thousands of results. None of them are signed by Jáuregui, and there is no evidence that the person portrayed in any of them is Cervantes.

Hartford Bible Convention
The Hartford Bible Convention was held on June 2–5, 1853, in the Melodeon, a venue in Hartford, Connecticut. Its stated purpose was to examine the Bible's "origin, authority, and influence", which implied opposition toward traditional religion. As the hostile Hartford Courant pointed out, religious skeptics, spiritualists, and atheists were joined by abolitionists, concerned because the Bible was regularly quoted as endorsing slavery, and women's suffragists, concerned because the Bible was cited as endorsing male supremacy. It was in essence a get-together of the left wing of the day, people opposed in one way or another to antebellum American society. There was no other such meeting during the period.

The call
An announcement of the convention and call for participation appeared in various American newspapers in April of 1853. It bore the names of Andrew Jackson Davis, William Green, Jr., and William P. Donaldson, "on behalf of a large number of persons." It invited "Clergymen and Laymen, without distinction of sect", as well as "philosophers, theologians, thinkers and religionists"...

The "call" was reproduced at the beginning of the proceedings:

TO THE FRIENDS OF FREE DISCUSSION

The undersigned, solicitous for the advancement of the cause of Truth and Humanity, hereby invite all who are friendly to free discussion, to attend a Convention to be held at Hartford, Conn., on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 2d, 3d, 4th, and 5th of June next, for the purpose of freely and fully canvassing the Origin, Authority, and Influence of the Jewish and Christian Scriptures.

This invitation is not given to any particular class of Philosophers, Theologians, or Thinkers, but is in good faith extended to all who feel an interest in the examination of the questions above stated. There are many who believe that a supernatural Revelation has been given to man ; many others who deny this, and a large number who are afflicted with perplexing doubts — trembling between the silent skepticism of their reason and the fear of absolute denial. In issuing a call for a Convention, we have in view the correction of error, by which party soever entertained, and the relief of those who stand between doubt and fear, from their embarrassing position.

Abolitionists William Lloyd Garrison, "the great gun of Abolitionism", Henry C. Wright, Parker Pillsbury, and William Stillman were among the atendees.

The meeting
The participants quickly and spontaneously divided themselves into pro- and anti-Bible factions; if there were participants who were confused and have their doubts resolved from the debate, they do not appear in the Proceedings.

Press coverage
Press coverage before, during, and after was uniformly derisive; the press called it the "anti-Bible convention" and the "atheist convention". According to the National Intelligencer:

The assembly was not numerous. There were not so many present as would ordinarily be found at a morning Methodist class-meeting in a country village. [The New York Times reported attendance of 200. ] The concourse was, however, motley, there being a sprinkling of blacks, persons with unshorn beards, women of a very quarter-of-a-dollarish air, and men of longing and enthusiastic aspects. There were those who seemed to be ambitious to play the Christ of the movement, in so far as it could be done by parting their hair on their foreheads, and leaving it uncut behind, and wearing beards to match.

In the opinion of the New York Times, "No damage will result from such a Parliament of spiritual quacks, beyond the shame to which the members will be exposed."

The New York Daily Herald reported:

The various organs and missionaries in the North, of socialism, abolitionism, atheism, spiritual manifestations, and amalgamation, have not been laboring in their ungodly and detestable work without success. They have gained some proselytes—they have picked up a considerable number, indeed, of crack-brained philosophers, sceptical teachers of religion, strong minded women, and poor, deluded negroes, and are leading them about as a Jack-o'-the-lantern leads a benighted traveller into the depths of a morass.

The worst was from the local Hartford Courant:

"It was an assembly of Abolitionists, Women's Rights believers, Spiritual Rappers and Atheists, gathered for the purpose of spitting out their venom against all that this community hold sacred...the Bible...Christ...God.... The Infidel repeated the stale and worn-out puerilities of Voltaire and Tom Paine, and called them arguments.... The opponents of the Bible filled the ears of the audience with the most revolting blasphemies, and made the Convention a miniature Hell, with Demons spitting out the concentrated malice of their hearts, in terms of 'condensed damnation.' The most revolting scene was when a specimen of the 'fair sex' [Ernestine Rose] pronounced her tirades against the Deity and the Scriptures[,] said to be the most blasphemous stuff uttered in the Convention.... She refuses the Christianity of the New Testament because women were not allowed to speak in the churches! ...We trust that the soil of Connecticut will never be desecrated again, and her laws set at defiance, by such an assemblage, or the air of Connecticut polluted again by such blasphemy."

Publication of the addresses delivered was planned from the outset, as the Call said "Measures have been taken to secure the services of a good phonographic [ Pitman shorthand ] reporter, to make a faithful record of the proceedings of the Convention. It is designed, as far as possible and agreeable to the individuals, to obtain a full and impartial report of the speeches made during the discussion, pro or con, for publication in a book form."

The Clansman play
"In most cases, Dixon's adaptation of a novel for the stage was merely intended to present his message to a larger audience, for his avowed purpose as a writer was to reach as many people as possible."

To spread his views to more people, Dixon decided to turn The Clansman into a play, enrolling in a course on dramatic technique. The play "followed very closely the novel." Four horses were used on stage, for the Klansmen to ride.

Dixon took the care to hire "a well-organized, hard-working press bureau" to generate publicity and engagements for the play.

When it opened in Norfolk, Virginia, in 1905, the local newspaper called it "a tremendous success". "The receipts for the first week not only paid the entire course of producing the play but also made a prophet [sic] of fifty thousand dollars." "Everywhere the play appeared, it created a sensation and, as it moved through Charleston, Atlanta, Birmingham, and other Southern cities, people fought madly over seats; and policemen stood ready with fire hoses to drive back the crowds. It opened in New York in 1906 "to the largest crowd ever to attend a performance at the Liberty Theatre."  "For three years after the opening two companies toured the country simultaneously to sell-out crowds, creating a fortune for the author", who was now "a weslthy and famous man".  There were 75 people plus the 4 horses in the touring company.

"Mr. Dixon argues that the Ku Klux Klan was a basically a meritorious organization and that it performed a great and virtuous service in restraining the attempted domination of the blacks in the south in the troublous [sic] carpetbagging days."

The Birth of a Nation
"Its drama is so intense that it brings the audiences to their feet as no theatrical play has in many, many years."

"For nearly two decades after its release in 1915, the film remained immensely popular. Never before had the public been exposed to cinematography in a way that so successfully stirred emotions and reinforced racial prejudices. Moreover, many viewers were convinced that the film was not a mere exercise in fiction. Having muted many of the excesses found in Dixon’s novel, Griffith argued that The Birth of a Nation was solidly grounded in historical fact. As the New York Times would favorably note in 1916, Americans in all parts of the country were “being taught to idealize the Klan.'"

President Wilson
Wilson introduced Dixon to the editor of the Baltimore Sun, where he was briefly employed as a drama critic. Slide 20 Dedication of 1915 book The Southerner. A Romance of the Real Lincoln Dedicated to our first Southern-born president since Lincoln, my friend and collegemate Woodrow Wilson

It was only after he was "chafing under the criticism", involving "many letters protesting" and visits to the White House by two prominent African-Americans, that the President's Secretary, J. P. Tumulty, issued a statement that "the President was entirely unaware of the character of the play" and "Its exhibition at the White House was a courtesy extended to an old acquaintance." Prior to the showing, "the President's interest in the play...is due to the great lesson of peace it teaches. ...Dixon was a schoolmate of President Wilson and is an intimate friend."

Dixon sent Wilson afterwards clippings of all the reviews save one. The Fiery Cross: The Ku Klux Klan in America By Wyn Craig Wade p. 133 https://books.google.com/books?id=6O_XYBMhNYAC&pg=PA59#v=snippet&q=wilson&f=false

At the time racial tensions in South Carolina were high; blacks were given the right to vote, for the first time, in the Constitution of 1868, but much conflict over a the electoral process took place, especially in the upland counties. South Carolina's governor, Robert Kingston Scott, was a former Union general. As in other former Confederate states, blacks were organized by the Republican governments into "black militias", since without them, blacks were defenseless against actions by angry former (white) Confederates.

The nows received here Friday even? ing, of troubles at Laurens Court House, produced deep feeling in the community. The report that Governor Scott designed to send up the two negro companies have created much excitement, which was increased by the unusual display of colored uniforms and guns on tho street. About 9 o'clock P. M., a gentleman from Governor Scott's office brought the assurance that no colored companies would be sent from Columbia. This led to public quiet. We learu that Messrs. H?ge and Hobbard went up to Newberry, Friday night, and remained an hour or two. We have heard of several inflammatory remarks which should be brought to notice. One case we intend to bring forward.

E? LAURENS. CAUSE A]\'l&gt; RESULT OF THE FRAY. Governor Scott Take* Timely Warning. [FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, Saturday, October 22. That the election ls over with so little excitement is, to the highest degree, gratifying. Tbe quiet resulted from mutual agreement-concert without coherence-*! the two parties. All over the State the Scott Radicals felt that the beam of fortune was nearly balanced, and a disturbance would probably turn lt sadly against them. Quiet being assured, they carried their intimida? tion of the poor negroes to an astonlshlag extent. In their leagues new oaths were exacted, among the conditions of which was the requirement fha t they get their votes from particular individuals, and these were designated. As Pickett was frightened into withdrawing by threats, thousands were made to vote for their political masters by threats if they did not. I write what I get from the poor fools themselves. WHAT IS THOUGHT OP CREWS, The United States officer who was sent to Laurens, a short time ago, to report upon the disturbances there, freely _expressed the oplnion that Crews ls the great?jtjnlschl?f maker' in.thc up? country, and^eflnej hlTchiracter 90 apuy that the officer has risen largely m the esteem of. thi3;corni munlty. He says Crews is a compound of craft* and cowardice, cunning and servility. THE TROUBLES IN LAURENS. Upon the recent difficulties in Laurens-those of the 20th Instant-General Dennis, (a clerk in the office of the Adjutant and Inspector General,) was heard by some of our citizens to tell Wlmbush, this morning, near the Pqstomce, that a company of about eighty (the number of the United States troops sent up this morning) men, with winchester rifles, was cent to kill every man in Laurens, and burn every house there. Myinfomant'aname, (who knows his hst of witnesses,) is at the service or parties interested. SENDING THE SOLDIERS. This momiug. by direction of General Terry, Governor Scott sent one company or United States infantry up to Laurens. They would have been sent last night, but the general commanding did not answer la time. The Governor last night express?d the determi? nation to send United States troops if he could get them; If not, to send Captain O'Ne ale's com? pany or white volunteer militia of this city. He had no Idea or sending his negro militia up there, ror the reason that that would on y Increase the trouble. j THE KILLED IND WOUNDED. The casualties in Laurens, reported by last night's telegraph, were received from a gentle? man In the official family or the Governor. To? day's news gives about the same number of deaths. A citizen Just down from there thinks the whole difficulty anne from the negroes Im? prudently going to the polia vlth their arms. Joe Crews ls said to be in town to-night, wound? ed In the leg. ? " Last night the dwelling house or Ur. Edmund Davis, In this city, was burnt, probably by an In? cendiary, although Mr. Davis ls not known to be obnoxious in any special way to any class or party. Insurance $2500. PRESENTMENT OF THE GRIND JURY OF LAURENS COUNTY. The following was submitted to the Governor this (Saturday) night:, The State of South Carolina, Laurens County-In the General Sessions. The grand Jurors for said county and State, by. virtue of their authority in the discharge of then* duty as such, respectfully present: The County of Laurens has always been distin? guished for Us adherence to good order; and the disturbance of the peace which occurred during the present term of this conn, m broad daylight, almost nuder the eaves of the courthouse, whilst the court wa* In sexsion, ls greatly to be regretted. We have not been able, arter every exertion, to ascertain all the circumstances or the case, or learn who were active In the affair. It seems that a member or the constabulary force cursed a citizen as -'a tallow-faced son of a bitch," whereupon the two commenced lighting. - The armed cons abai arv, wlih a number or colored militia, having possessed themselves or the State arms, made demonstrations or assistance to their associate engaged. A pistol in the coat pocket or some one standing by was accidentally discharged, whereupon the armed body within the constabu? lary quarters and armory delivered a volley, and the firing extended to others m the vicinity of the disturbance. So far as we have learned, two white men and a tittie white boy were wounded, and one negro killed instantly, and two others severely wounded. The sheriff finally succeeded in commanding the peace. The grand Jury or the county, m the Interest or peace, commend that the public arms here, which have been directed by his Honor the Judge to be J by the Bherlff Into his possession, be re? tained by the sheriff, or returned to the armory of the State at Columbia. They feel bound to ex? press, in the strongest terms, their apprehension of the consequences if these arms and ammuni? tions are placed in the hands of one class of our citizens whilst the rest of the community is left in an unarmed and defenceless condition. It is believed that the announcement of the In? tention to put public arms into the possession or one race In the community and to leave the other unarmed has created tue restless and uneasy reeling In the community which, no doubt, was the underlying cause or th* people being armed, and, therefore, or the late lamentable disturbance of the peace. The grand Jury would urge la the mose earnest manner, situated as our community ls, that thc public arms now here be cudected and deposited by the authorities of the 8t?te in .the armory at Columbia. The grand Jury cannon but express their com? mendation that Hie Hon. Jud-re Vernon presiding, hus taken rlgorus steps, through the peace officer or the county-"he sheriff-to repro? all lawless? ness, and to preserve and promote the peace and good order of the community.. The grand Jury would earnestly recommend all persons, white and b ack, to returu to their homes, unless they have business In court. Let every good citizen lend his efforts for peace and order, and we may hope to quiet down after a most ex? citing and extraO "dlnery election, and the persist? ent efforts of some, for their own selflHh purposes, to embroil the two ra?es occupying this county as citizens. No civilize 1 eommuolty can exist, much less prosper, without law and order. This we respectfully preaeaL (Signed) SAMUEL AUSTIN, Foreman. A

AFFAIRS IN LAURENS. Freaks of Joe Crews?lie stirs up Strife and Beats a Retreat?Rumors and Reports?Six Men Killed. Correspondence of the Charleston Courier. Columbia, October 22,1870. Two companies of United States Troops went up to Laurens and New berry to-day. The lust intelligence from the eccnct&gt;f action is that seven men were killed. Two of the consiab alary and four negroes were killed in the streets of Laurens. The difficulty, has been brewing for some time, fannaA tlrh fanatfAal breath of Joe "J ? Crews. It came very near bursting' forth on the day of election. Crews called on his militia to get their arras, they got .them, but by the time they had done so, there. were as many Winchesters in the hands of the whites.? At this juncture, when ^ collision j seemed inevitable, Col Smith, alone, came into the Public Square^ ordeied the negroes to put away their arms, to voto and go homo. They obeyed him, when the Whites did likewise at the request of tho Sheri-ff. Col. Smith's command left next day, when the constabulary started to arrest a mun named Johnson, a Tennesseean, cursed and abused him, and thus the smoldering embers were fanned into a blaze. Ttie gallant Crews, after bringing on the difficulty on tho day of election, cowardly sought the protection of the United States troops. Having set the miselnef afloat, he intended to take precious care of his cowardly carca33. lie started the row to make innocent and ignorant men suffer. They went for him, however, scoured tho whole country; so far he is scill missing.? There arc various reports coneerniog him; some say he and and his son were lad in the woods, anotner mat ne was pursued to the Saluda River?fired upou and wounded whilst swimming the river. We don't believe that either of the reports is true. "A man boru to bo hung need nut fear bullet or water." There has been immense excitement in the Ring here. Rumors of assassinations were rife. Guards were placed out, the colored militia sentineled their armory. Apropos, two White men ran off the sentinels and captured the militia armory oi l 50 rifles at Clinton. Yesterday, and the day before, the telegraphic wires have been kept in incessant vibration to carry the news to Washington and to General Terry, in Georgia,, so as to get more troops. The big rob. ain't dead yet; he is kicking again, and there must be more troop&lt; to finish him. If Governor Scott will arm the negroes and will not arm the whites; if he will uphold such Bcoundrels as Crews in their incendiary and inflaming speeches to the negroes; if he will appoint such men to position and place, he will hear of lynch law so far as those men are concerned, for the law of the land won't reach them, and they will be reuched; and the sooner Governor Scott learns this, and learns, too, that South Carolinians are not to bo treated as barbarians and tyranizedovcr by such outlaws as Joe Crews and his bunds of ruffiians, the better -it will be for the prosperity and adva'nfcetneHit of the State. The house of Mr. Edmund Dsfvis was entirely consumed Just' night by fire, at about two o'clock. The fire was first seen issuing from the back piazza, and was, undoubtedly, the work of incendiaries. Nothing was saved. He was insured for-?2,500?loss $4,000. The militia are still guarding their 'armory here. It is ireediess to say that our citizens have no design up &gt;n them.

Answer. Tho Charleston Republican says: "The Colombia PHOENIX says it is timo to let the negro 'severely alono* and put forth all energies to secure white emigration. "How docs that journal think that tho barbarous murder of the white immi? grant, Powell, at '-Laurene!, will affect such of bis forhior neighbors HR might be inclined to roovo to onr State? The very first step in our efforts for white immigrants is to guarantee them full freedom of political opinion-full free? dom of speech and fall freedom of the baiiot-and oomplete proteotion in i he exercise, of that freedom. Will tho PIKE KXX help Laurena to take thal slop?" We shall answer the Republican. We have no concealment to moko of our views. They ore tho same in the closot 83 in the field. As usual, the Republi? can, as the supporter of radicalism in South Carolina and the ready apologist for all its outrages and extravagances, does the white people of Laurens and of South Carolina foul injustice in its re? marks given above. In the first place, we know nothing of Powell, who was killed in the outbreak nt Laurens. But we do uot nnderstand that ho was an "immigrant." Wo have understood that he was brought from Ohio to be ouo of the constabulary in South Carolina. But whethor au immigrant or one of thc State police, ho fell in an affray, that occurred nt Laurens Court House. Thc livos lost are a matter of regret. But where does tho responsibility rest? Wo charge it upon those who brought about that state of feeling, which accident caused to break forth in riot and blood. We charge it upon the Executive, who armed one race and denied arms to thc other race. We charge it, further, upon the local aiders and abettors of tho Exe? cutive. So far as the whites were con? cerned, they went into the Reform move? ment, which was based upon the idea of conciliating the blacks. And had the colored people not been arrayed with arms in hands against the whites, and had it not been for radical incendiary harangues, we believo that no outbreak would have occurred at Laurens, and no lives would have been lost. This is our deliberate judgment. As for white immigrants, Laurens as well as all South Carolina do cordi? ally welcome them, and in spite of tho systematic effort of such journals as the Charleston Republican to cast odium upon the whites of South Carolina, there is guaranteed to white immigrants "full freedom of political opinion-full free? dom of speeoh-full freedom of the bal? lot, and complete protection in the ex? ercise of thnt freedom." The only offset to this is the case of the anti-radical negro voter. Experience shows, that in many places in South Carolina, a negro voter votes against radicalism at thc peril of his life. We have this to say to the Republican: Laurens needs no help from the PIICKNIX to take tho step the Republican speaks of. The immigrant will receive in Laurens the same reception accorded to him else? where in the State. Humau life is ns Baf e in South Carolina as in nny other S tate of the Union. It is only herc as else? where. Tho honest settler is welcome. But there is no love for the schein i u g demagogue, the political trickster, the vile incendiary and the mid-night plo? ter. Turning now to general principles, we have this to say: lu the solution of the serious questions and the vexed problems pending in South Carolina, our course has boen consistent. We prefer and wo advocate moral agencies, and wo desire to see these problems worked out by peaceful means. We dare not advocate other than God-approved methods of action. But, subjected as our people have been, to the most outrageous treat? ment to which civilized communities havo ever been exposed, it is not to be expeoted that the oommnnity will be en? tirely free from thoso outbreaks that spring from the heated passions of par? ties arrayed against each other, nov is it to bc deemed au unreasonable thing that a public opiuiou should exist which, whilst ifc deplores violence, holds thal so/nothing should bo pardoned to thc spirit of outraged feelings and violate" rights. When South Carolina (shall have just and impartial government-whey the era cf public thieves and pluudoreri shall have x&gt;assed away-when "seurv; politicians" shall coasc to array tho Wael man against tho white, wo shah proba bly haye complete peace in this State. This is "tho step" that the Jic?&gt;uUtca&gt; may well help its party to take. .The order subscribe which next. TELE Wise, Point told them."

John Brown's constitution
thousands in harpers ferry John Brown intended to create a new country to which slaves could escape and live safely. His raid on Harpers Ferry was to have been the first step.

Brown never used the name Nova Africa; so far as is known, he had no name for the new country. The name is taken from a novel about Brown, Fire on the Mountain, by Terry Bisson.

Winston
The Winston-Salem Race Riot, an inaccurate name, took place on Sunday, November 17, 1918. The preceeding evening a black man, or a white man wearing blackface, shot Jim Childess and raped his wife, Cora. During unsuccessful efforts tht evening to locate te perpetrator, Sheriff Flynt was shot in the face and hand.

The following day, news of the attack was in local newspapers.

Texas Confederate Museum
The Texas Confederate Museum is a former museum in Austin, Texas, run by the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, each of which had a separate collection in the museum.

Its first location, from 1903, was in the northwest room on the first floor of the Texas Legislature. In 1920 it moved to a permanent home in the Old Land Office Building on the Capitol grounds, where it would remain until 1988, when the state told the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Dsughters of the Republic of Texas to vacate. After repair and renovation, the building was given a new function as the Capitol Visitors Center. (The Visitors Center does not publicize that the building was for 71 years a Confederate museum, longer than it housed the Land Office. It receives one sentence in the history of the building, and the only appearance of the word "Confederate" is in the name "United Daughters of the Confederacy" who, with the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, "housed their two museum collections in the former Land Office". An accompanying page of historical photographs shows only a "GLO [General Land Office] exhibit room 1961", although the General Land Office had left the building for good in 1920. Nowhere does it refer to the Texas Confederate Museum. )

The Museum never reopened as it never found a new permanent home; its collections were passed from one institution to another like a hot potato that nobody wanted. From 1988 to 1990, its materials were stored in a warehouse of the Texas State Library and Archives Center. From 1990 to 1992 the collection was held by the Helen Marie Taylor Museum in Waco, but returned to temporary storage for two years. In 1994, an agreement with Hill College in Hillsboro placed the collection on display at the Texas Heritage Museum (formerly the Confederate Research Center) until 2000, when the agreement terminated. The collection returned to temporary storage at Baylor University in Waco, where it was inventoried and catalogued. It then was stored in Fort Worth. During this time, items from the collection were loaned to a number of museums.

In 2002, the Haley Memorial Library and History Center in Midland agreed to house and make available to researchers the Museum's paper collection. The rest of the collection is housed at the Texas Civil War Museum in White Settlement, Texas, which opened in 2006. The United Daughters of the Confederacy holds permanently one of the three seats on the Museum's Board of Directors.

Make It Right Project
The Make It Right Project was formed in 2018 to encourage and advance the removal of Confederate monuments. It is a project of the Independent Media Institute; director is Kali Holloway. According to the group's statement, they are "dedicated to working with multiple groups—activists, artists, historians and media outlets—to remove Confederate monuments and develop post-removal protocols to properly historicize and contextualize these markers.... The point of the initiative is to do more than just 'raise awareness' or 'start a national conversation,' and instead aims to genuinely move the needle, creating measurable, visible change." In a later statement, "contextualize these markers" has become "to tell the truth about history".

The group has compiled a list of 10 monuments it is targetting:
 * 1) Confederate War Memorial, Dallas, Texas. "Includes a statue of General Robert E. Lee, who waged war to preserve slavery and was so violent toward those he personally enslaved that they described him as 'the worst man I ever see'. Also represented is Confederate President Jefferson Davis, who sought to expand slavery to new territories and described blacks as 'inferior [and] fitted expressly for servitude'.
 * 2) Silent Sam, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The group's first activity was the erection in July, 2018, of two billboards in Raleigh, North Carolina, depicting Silent Sam covered by a red X and the words "North Carolina needs a monumental change". The stated audience the billboards were intended to reach — thus the Raleigh locations — were the members of the North Carolina Historical Commission, under the impression, which others as well had until August 2018, that a controvedsial 2015 North Carolina law allowed it to approve the removal of Confederate monuments.  The Project responded: "The only way to truly contextualize racist monuments and white supremacist statues is to take them down from their lofty positions of public reverence.... The Commission and study committee had an opportunity today to correct the historical record and help bring an end to the era of white supremacist Lost Cause mythmaking. Instead, they chose moral ambivalence and hostility to historical truth. The vote was yet another example of the frustrating institutional decisions that have led community outrage to boil over." At about the same time, the Project printed posters with a picure of Silent Sam, an X over him, and the words ”We need REAL heroes", and students put them up on the campus.
 * 3) Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson Statues, Charlottesville, VA. In September of 2018 the group erected a billboard depicting the two monuments, and between them the words "Monumental Change Needed". They also prepared lawn signs saying "Monumental Lies", with pictures of the two monuments; these have been seen in a number of yards in the city. "Neo-Confederates made a grotesque parody of the Make It Right billboard in response. And then put it on a truck and drove around town with it."
 * 4) Spirit of the Confederacy, Houston, Texas. This monument is located in one of Houston’s major city parks. The winged, muscular, 12-foot-tall avenging angel clad in palm fronds leaning on a sword suggests the “spirit of the Confederacy” remains fiercely unrepentant in its dedication to the cause of black enslavement.
 * 5) John C. Calhoun Monument, Charleston, South Carolina  Though Calhoun died in 1850, he contributed greatly to the Southern position by advancing the theory that black enslavement was “a positive good.” According to Calhoun, white people profited off black labor, and the enslaved were civilized by the brutality of bondage. Charleston’s History Commission has spent several months quibbling over the language for a plaque to acknowledge Calhoun’s racist positions, but protesters continue to fight for complete removal.
 * 6) Oak Woods Cemetery Confederate Mound Statue, Chicago, Illinois. There is a bronze Confederate soldier at the top of a 30-foot granite column overlooking a mass grave. The Cemetary also has the graves of several notable African Americans, including journalist and anti-lynching activist Ida B. Wells.
 * 7) Shepherd Heyward Memorial, Harpers Ferry, West Virginia
 * 8) Denton Confederate Soldier Monument, Denton, Texas. Every Sunday afternoon since 1998, Willie Hudspeth—a Vietnam War veteran and president of the Denton NAACP—has staged a one-man protest at the site of this monument to the Confederacy. In February 2018, a town committee decided not to remove the structure, but instead to provide “context” with the addition of a video kiosk and plaques detailing the history of slavery. Hudspeth has vowed to continue protesting until the monument comes down. The town committee has yet to commit to a date for the proposed additions.
 * 9) United Confederate Veterans Memorial, Seattle, Washington. The protesters of this monument include Heidi Christensen, former president of the Seattle chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Though it sits on private land in Lake View Cemetery, those pushing for the memorial’s relocation argue that it is located in a “publicly visible location and therefore should fall under current ordinances to remove offensive markings visible to the public.”
 * 10) Florida's Tribute to the Women of the Confederacy, Jacksonville, Florida. An ode to the many white Southern women who, according to the inscription, “sacrificed their all” for the Confederate cause.

Old Colored Cemetery
The Old Colored Cemetery, a 3 acre

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/deerfield-beach/fl-deerfield-memorial-park-20180621-story.html Once forgotten, 'Old Colored Cemetery' turns into a place of honor

by ANNE GEGGIS, sun-sentinel.comJune 23, 2018 05:30 AM They were buried in a patch of land that was left unmarked and largely forgotten for decades.

But now the “Old Colored Cemetery” is on its way to becoming a Branhilda Richardson Knowles Memorial Park. It’s now under construction.

Its centerpiece will be a statue of Knowles, a midwife to many blacks in Deerfield and beyond who were born at home before Jim Crow laws ended. A committee chose Knowles for the honor because of her impact on the community — the only area midwife for much of her career that spanned more than 40 years, when the nearest hospital accepting black people was in Fort Lauderdale.

The pose of her holding a baby aloft resonates with Commissioner Gloria Battle, whom Knowles delivered, as well as her mother and four other siblings.Created by the same artist who makes the deer statues around city, it is now ready for installation.

“It’s breathtaking,” Battle said.

Her great-great grandfather likely lies in the park.

The 3-acre parcel at Southeast Second Avenue and Fourth Street had once been a privately owned churchyard. Records show burials took place there from 1897 to 1937, with some possibly as late as the 1940s.

Among the approximately 300 who are buried there: veterans of both world wars, a Union soldier and a freed slave.

The property was sold and, in 1974, the new owner bulldozed the headstones. Whether it was really a cemetery was cast into doubt when two archaeological studies, one in 1986 and another in 2005, failed to find human remains. Outcry over proposed development from the city’s African-American community derailed those development proposals.

But the cemetery seemed destined to be bulldozed into further obscurity when a developer in 2015 won approval to build 69 townhouses there and a majority of the City Commission agreed.

As a condition of approval, a third archaeological study was ordered.

That’s when gold-capped teeth and skull fragments turned up. The townhouse development was scaled back and the city applied for state grants.

The state appropriated nearly $1 million in 2016 to buy the former cemetery parcel from the developer.

Further grants paid for the design and construction of the park, named for Knowles but which will also honor Deerfield’s veterans.

“There were no models to go by,” Miller said, explaining that his research didn’t turn up any other forgotten cemeteries that were turned into parks.

The first phase of construction scheduled to be finished in a few weeks.

“It’s going to be a place of reverence, reflection and honor,” Miller said

Attendee: “There is something compelling by this work that attempts to demonstrate the humanity of sexual abusers sentenced to a life of being outsiders, often unable to get jobs or unable to travel or live where they may like, by focusing on an actual community in Florida designed for former sex offenders. They may be unredeemable in society's eyes, but the play shows how their needs, dreams, and wishes resemble everyone else's. The actors convey the characters' own self-loathing and frustration as well as their yearning to connect and not be alone, and a few cases in which people do open their minds and hearts to them, sometimes with great difficulty.“

The centrality of slavery
In the first years of the 19th century there was intense interest in absorbing in some way Florida into the United States. The term "manifest destiny" did not appear until the 1840s, but the American colonies were expansionist from the beginning; the Revolutionary War had just put it on a back burner for a few years. The War over — even more so after the War of 1812 was over — the expansionism could be put back into practice. Somewhat to the Americans' surprise, Canadians were not very interested in becoming part of the U.S. But Florida was ripe for the taking. Most residents of Florida — maroons and their descendents, the number of whites was small — did not want to be part of the U.S. either. The negros would have been enslaved, or reenslaved, so by 1821 every one that could got out of Florida, to Cuba or an English colony.

Slaves are in fact central to Florida's change in nationality.

Nevertheless, the decision was to be made by the Spanish crown

Puerto Rico
There are two big elephants in the room, which discussions off Puerto Rico’s status usually ignore.
 * The first is that Spanish is Puerto Rico's official language, and its status has been getting stronger as a result of legal changes. English is no longer a second official language, or even a second language. Spanish is Puerto Rico’s language, full stop. All of its legal documents (Constitution, laws) and legal proceedings are in Spanish. Not everyone knows English.


 * For Puerto Rico to become a state, Congress must approve it. That Congress would officially accept a state with a different language is unlikely, and a substantial block of citizens — just how many is unknown — would not want it.


 * Under their present status, Puerto Ricans do not pay federal income tax, which they would have to pay if Puerto Rico becomes a state. (They do pay Medicare, Social Security, and some other taxes.) Whether this would be readily accepted by Puerto Ricans remains to be studied.


 * Puerto Rico would be heavily Democratic. Republicans can be counted on to oppose another two Democratic senators.

 * The District of Columbia (until 1871), when it was a separate political entity
 * The city of Washington, D.C.

District of Columbia (until 1871)
The District of Columbia, or sometimes the Original District of Columbia, was until 1871 something other than the City of Washington. They were separate political entities. The district came into existence, with judges and marshals, in the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1801; previously it was the Territory of Columbia. The small cities of Alexandria, VA and Georgetown, MD already existed; the remainder was farmland. Two new counties were created in the 1801 Act: Washington County, D.C. and Alexandria County, D.C. (today Arlington County, Virginia's smallest county, and the independent City of Alexandria). Although Pierre L'Enfant's plan for the city of Washington was created in 1791, and both the White House and the United States Capitol were completed and in use by 1800, the City of Washington was not legally created (chartered) until 1802.

Choice of location
Congress determined, in the Residence Act of 1790, that the nation's capitol be on the Potomac, between the Anacostia River and today's Williamsport, Maryland, and in a federal district up to 10 miles square. The exact location was to be determined by President Washington, who knew the area better than any other of the major politicians of the period, because his residence was in nearby Mt. Vernon, Virginia. Its trans-state location reflected a compromise between the Southern states and the Northern ones, neither of which blocs would agree to the nation's capitol being in the other. Virginia fancied itself the most modelic of the states, the largest state (including West Virginia), the state of Washington, of Jefferson, primary author of the Declaration of Independence, and of rising political figures and future presidents Madison and Monroe. (Four of America's first five presidents were from Virginia.) Virginia's House of Burgesses was the clearest predecessor of Congress. Virginia was where the national capital, in their opinion, should be. Virginia was supported by all the states to the south of it. The capitol of the U.S. in Virginia? The New England states would have none of that. Neither would New York nor Pennsylvania, both of which had previously housed the nation's capital. So Maryland, whose State House was older than that of Virginia, and like Virginia was a slave state, was settled on as a compromise. At Washington's request the City of Alexandria was included in the District, though with the provision that no federal buildings could be built there. The new capitol district was at about the center of the country, actually closer to New Hampshire than to Georgia. (What we now think of as the middle of the country at that time, the Mason-Dixon line, was an obscure boundary dispute, that only came into the national discourse, and was given its name, with the Missouri Compromise of 1850.) About 2/3 of the original District was in Maryland and 1/3 in Virginia, and the wide Potomac in the middle. The future district was surveyed in 1791–92; 24 of its surviving stone markers are in Maryland, 12 in Virginia. (See Boundary Markers of the Original District of Columbia.) Washington decided that the capitol's location would be between Georgetown and the Anacostia River, which was as high as the river could be navigated by ships.

Retrocession of 1847
Residents of Alexandria were soon unhappy about being in the District, which meant they had no representation in Congress. Also Alexandria was a center of the profitable slave trade – the largest slave-trading company in the country, Franklin and Armfield, was located there – and Alexandria residents were afraid that if the District banned the slave trade, as seemed likely, this industry would leave the city. To prevent this, Arlington held a referendum, through which voters petitioned Congress and the state of Virginia to return the portion of the District of Columbia south of the Potomac River (Alexandria County) to Virginia. On July 9, 1846, Congress retroceded Alexandria County to Virginia, after which the District's slave traders relocated to Alexandria. The District's slave trade was outlawed in the Compromise of 1850, although ownership of slaves in the District would remain permitted until passage of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865. Until secession in 1861, Southern states refused to permit setting a precedent, through the Compromise of 1850 or any other legislation, by banning slavery in the District altogether.

Organic Act of 1871
The District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871 merged the District of Columbia and the City of Washington into a single entity, Washington, D.C..

Patriots War
On it see p. 4 of Stowells book on Kingsley

The Patriots War, sometimes Patriots' War, was an unsuccessful attempt to have the United States annex part of East Florida, at the time Spanish territory, before the Adams–Onís Treaty of 1819 transferred Florida from Spain to the United States. It included the (self-)creation of the Republic of Florida, planned to last one day. It was informed by the short-lived 1810 Republic of West Florida on Florida's western border, which became part of Louisiana, about to become a state in 1812.

The underlying issue was the availability of vast amounts of land suitable for farming in northern Florida, some of which, in the northeast and western Florida, already had a number of American farmers. Spain was not interested in developing farms or plantations. Furthermore, the Spanish force in the peninsula was small, effectively governing only the small areas around Spain's four forts, St. Augustine, St. Marks, and Pensacola, and Fuerte Carlota (Mobile). These settlements provided naval support to Spanish ships. Florida's northern border with the United States they cared little about, and certainly did not have the forces to defend it. It is the same situation that would emerge later on Florida's western border, producing the short-lived Republic of West Florida (1810), all of which was in today's Louisiana (the Florida Parishes), the longer-lived Republic of Texas, and finally the Mexican-American War. The predecessor of these was the East Florida venture.

The war began with an invasion, called the Patriot Invasion, of East Florida. An informal gathering of armed Americans succeeded in conquering Fernandina and Amelia islands.

(Central Florida was at the time inhabited by Native Americans.)

Neamathla and, probably, his family were at Nicolls' Outpost.

Neamathla had always been active in those depredations on the frontiers of Georgia which had brought vengeance and ruin on the Seminoles.

"Perryman was involved in the plot to flog Neamathla during a council at Fort Scott in August 1817. He believed that the Fowltown chief was endangering all of the towns of the area by confronting the army. Neamathla failed to appear for the conference and Maj. David E. Twiggs, who then commanded the fort, did not learn of the plan until after the fact." http://exploresouthernhistory.com/mobile/2017/12/13/perryman/

moriae
The usual translation of the title, In Praise of Folly, is misleading. Folly is an unwise action, that accomplishes nothing at best. There are suggestions of mental illness, as that was understood centuries ago, causing the subjecy to do unreasonable skills

A closer translation is stupidity; the English cognate of "moriae" is moron. So what is being praised is stupidity, which is the topic of the book. The moronic woman explains her role in society: if your parents hadn’t been stupid, you wouldn’t be here.

There is also a pun in the title, which can also be read as “In Praise of [Sir Thomas] More, England’s Catholic hero Sir Thomas More

England
In England, which had abolished slavery in its Caribbean colonies in 1838, Confederate diplomats found little support for American slavery, cotton trade or no. It was in London that the first World Anti-Slavery Convention had been held in 1840. A string of eloquent and sometimes well-educated Negro abolitionist speakers criss-crossed not just England but Scotland and Ireland as well. In addition to exposing the reality of America's shameful and sinful chattel slavery—some were fugitive slaves—they put the lie to the Confederate position that negroes were "unintellectual, timid, and dependant", and "not equal to the white man...the superior race," as it was put by Confederate Vice-President Alexander H. Stephens put it in his famous Cornerstone Speech : Frederick Douglass, Henry Highland Garnet, Sarah Parker Remond, her brother Charles Lenox Remond, James W. C. Pennington (fugiyive), Martin Delany Samuel Ringgold Ward, and each spent years in the United Kingdom, where, William G. Allen said, there was an "absence of prejudice against color. Here the colored man feels himself among friends, and not among enemies". One speaker alone, William Wells Brown, gave more than 1,000 lectures on the shame of American chattel alone, William Wells Brown, gave more than 1,000 lectures on the shame of American chattel slavery.
