1861 - President Abraham Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus.
Did the President violate the Constitution by arresting and holding 13,000 assumed ‘secessionists’ and ‘Copperhead Democrats’? Yes and no...And he should be thanked for doing so, because America was at war, the worst kind of war - A civil war, and drastic times called for drastic measures.
During this time Congress wasn’t in session and wasn't returning until July. In this situation Lincoln took the responsibility of assuming all powers not delegated in the Constitution, including the power to suspend habeas corpus.
Lincoln rightfully believed it was worth it 'to violate this portion of the Constitution to save the Constitution as a whole'...The Great Man took the bull by the horns and placed the future of the Union in his own hands. We should all be thankful the right man was in the right place at this horrible time.
1509 - Pope Julius II excommunicated the Italian state of Venice.
WOW!! That seams like a little bit of overkill to excommunicate a whole country...Papal politics were brutal during this time, and it was actions like this which led to the Reformation.
1521 - Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan was killed by natives in the Philippines.
Most 'know' Magellan was the first to circumnavigate the globe, but many don’t 'know' he did no such thing...Magellan’s crew completed the journey, the famous captain only made it part of the way.
1773 - The British Parliament passed the Tea Act.
The Adams boys and other Patriots didn't take this too well...As a result, eight months later the American colonists passed their own act: The Boston Tea Party.
1937 - The first Social Security payment was made.
UGH!!! The ‘National Noose’ was first fitted around the collective necks of the American people...It is starting to get very tight.
So, what's the answer to this problem? Create new entitlement programs, of course.
1940 - Heinrich Himmler ordered the establishment of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp: WWII.
Himmler's SS perfected the ‘Final Solution’ here, and over a million Jews met their maker in this Hell-hole...Incredibly, this is where 1/15th of the world’s entire pre-war Jewish population died!!
1945 - The Allies rejected peace offers by German SS Chief Heinrich Himmler, insisting on unconditional surrender: WWII.
The ‘Chicken Farmer’ was looking for a way to save his ass.
Other than Hitler, no Nazi deserved death more than Himmler and there was no way the Allies were going to negotiate with him...Plus the Russian ring of fire around Berlin was on the verge of bringing an unconditional surrender anyway.
1983 - President Reagan appeared before Congress to urge members to embrace his arms and economic program for Central America, saying the United States had a duty to save the region from the Leftist revolution.
Reagan was absolutely correct about the situation in Central America, and he was an enormous force in the destruction of the Soviet Union...But why did he allow Cuba to remain Communist? I will never understand this.
