December 20 (A Triple)
1803 - The Louisiana Purchase was completed with the territory formally transferring from France to the United States during ceremonies in New Orleans. This purchase effectively doubled the size of the existing U.S. With 827,987 square miles in the deal, a price translating to roughly $18 per square mile - under 3 cents/acre.
President Jefferson had doubts about the legality of making this purchase (he was a Constitutional stickler), but knew the opportunity had to be seized...The purchase provided natural resources - including people - and also eliminated a potential future enemy combatant in France.
1860 - South Carolina adopted an Ordinance of Secession, testing the concept of the state's right to secede from the Union.
The firing hadn’t begun, but this event properly marks the beginning of the Civil War, which as horrific as it was had to happen...The North and South had many problems that couldn’t be worked out politically (slavery was only one of them), and war was the only answer.
Thankfully the U.S. had the right man in charge at the right time...A true blessing throughout her short history.
1922 - Fourteen republics formed the Union of Soviet Socialistic Republics (USSR).
Lenin completed the conquest of Russia and her minor neighbors, and succeeded in creating the Hell State...And to make things even more pleasant, when he died it was passed on to the 'Man of Steel' - who perfected it.
1917 - The Russian Secret Police was formed under Felix Dzerzhinsky. He helped lead the Bolshevik Revolution and set up the secret police, the Cheka, which later became the KGB (also known as NKVD).
This proved to be an important step in the progression of a day-from-Hell for the Russian people - See 1922.
1924 - Adolf Hitler was released from prison after serving less than one year of a five-year sentence for treason.
How a country can allow a man convicted of treason to live, let alone free him, is amazing to me...Incredibly, he was only one of the 20th Century psychos who managed to spend time in prison for crimes against their nations, yet eventually took control of their governments. Lenin and Stalin are the other notables, but there were many others.
1933 - The German government announced 400,000 citizens were to be sterilized because of hereditary defects.
Nice. The nut-job German scientists had the perfect goon-squad take over control of their nation, and now they were allowed to put their insane Eugenic theories into practice...Lets not forget, these scientists were around long before the Nazis, and the Germans were by far the most advanced scientific nation at the time.
Sadly their legacy was one of great knowledge and even greater inhumanity.
2002 - Canada's Supreme Court ruled the book 'One Dad, Two Dads, Brown Dad, Blue Dads' and others with gay themes cannot be banned from kindergarten classrooms in Canadian schools.
KINDERGARTEN!?!? This is propaganda at its finest.
