#OTD in #History, 1803, the #Louisiana Purchase Treaty was signed. #Napoleon sold the 827,000 sq. mile territory to fund war with #England. It doubled the #USA, prompting a negotiator to claim, “From this day the #UnitedStates take their place among the powers of the first rank.”
#OTD in #History, 1758, future #POTUS #JamesMonroe was born. In the #RevWar, he crossed the Delaware ahead of Washington; later negotiated the #LouisianaPurchase; served #Virginia in the Senate and as governor; and for part of the #Warof1812, was both Sec. of State and War. #USA
#RIP Rep. Donald Payne Jr., who has passed away at 65. In 2012, he was elected to the seat of his late father—the 1st Black Congressman from #NewJersey. In Payne's 11 years in office, his experience in local politics guided his advocacy for health & infrastructure legislation.
#OTD in #History, 1789, #JohnAdams was sworn in as the #USA's first Vice President. After congratulating Americans on the new “national Constitution,” he told the Senate, “A trust of the greatest magnitude is committed to this Legislature; and the eyes of the world are upon you.”
#OTD in #History 1775, the Battles of Lexington & Concord ignited. In a bid to put down colonial unrest, the British instead sparked the #RevWar, inspiring thousands to take up arms on behalf of American liberty. #JohnAdams reflected, “the Die was cast, the Rubicon crossed.” #USA
#OTD in #History, 1775, #PaulRevere, William Dawes, & Samuel Prescott warned #Massachusetts' countryside, the British "Regulars are coming out." The tale has been mythicized, but the true story is just as inspiring; for it prepared our #Patriots for the onset of the #RevWar. #USA
#OTD in #History 1961, the #BayofPigs invasion was launched by US-trained Cuban exiles to ignite a counterrevolution vs #FidelCastro. But soon after it failed, #Cuba embraced socialism & the USSR sought to protect Cuba by placing nuclear missiles at striking distance of the #USA.
#OTD in #History, 1862, slavery was abolished in #WashingtonDC. “I trust I am not dreaming,” #FrederickDouglass joyously reacted. But the act was “not only a staggering blow to slavery...but a killing blow to the rebellion—and the beginning of the end for both.” #EmancipationDay
#OTD in #History, 1865, #Lincoln died. “No man who knew Abraham Lincoln, could hate him,” #FrederickDouglass eulogized. Rather, he was killed “solely because he was…the faithful, loyal President of the #UnitedStates—true to his country, and true to the cause of human freedom."
#OTD in #History 1775, America’s 1st abolitionist group was founded in #Philadelphia. It won gradual emancipation in #Pennsylvania; & in 1790—after #FoundingFather #BenjaminFranklin became its leader—it sent #Congress its 1st petition for a ban on slavery in the "land of Freedom"
#OTD in #History 1743, #ThomasJefferson was born. He was our 3rd #POTUS & authored the #DeclarationofIndependence. This legacy was honored on his 200th birthday: “In the midst of a great war for freedom” #FDR declared, "we dedicate" the #JeffersonMemorial as “a shrine to freedom”
