A List of Books | 623 of the Best Books ever Written - StumbleUpon - Nightly The Battle Over Reconstruction As the Civil War drew to a close, the social, political and economic conditions within the rebellious southern states fueled discussion about how to restore them to the Union. This series of lesson plans will examine the nature and extent of some of these social, political and economic conditions and how they worked to shape the debate about restoring southern states to the Union as well as their lasting impact in shaping the national debate in the years following Reconstruction. Beyond the obvious material destruction, there was more to reconstruct in the South than buildings, farms, manufacturing and railroads—there were social and political relationships to rebuild. Another consideration in post-bellum America was a new question for southern society: What would be the role of the newly freed black population of the South? The political process of Reconstruction, on the other hand, had begun before the war ended. Many in Congress, however, had a different view. President Ulysses S.

Diogenes of Sinope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Nightly Diogenes of Sinope was a controversial figure. His father minted coins for a living, and when Diogenes took to debasement of currency, he was banished from Sinope.[1] After being exiled, he moved to Athens to debunk cultural conventions. Diogenes modelled himself on the example of Hercules. He believed that virtue was better revealed in action than in theory. He used his simple lifestyle and behaviour to criticise the social values and institutions of what he saw as a corrupt society. He declared himself a cosmopolitan. After being captured by pirates and sold into slavery, Diogenes eventually settled in Corinth. Life[edit] Diogenes was born in the Greek colony of Sinope on the south coast of the Black Sea, in either 412 BC or 404 BCE.[2] Nothing is known about his early life except that his father Hicesias was a banker.[6] It seems likely that Diogenes was also enrolled into the banking business aiding his father. In Athens[edit] In Corinth[edit] Diogenes and Alexander[edit] Death[edit]

REVISITING THE HAUNTED HISTORY OF GETTYSBURG AMERICAN GHOSTS | October 17th 2008 Gettysburg was the blood-drenched turning point of the American civil war. And as soon as it was over, another battle began--over how it would be remembered and mythologised. From INTELLIGENT LIFE magazine, Autumn 2008 America's restless reinvention, even more than its newness, leaves little room for ghosts. But I've been to a couple of places where the past was suddenly near, hauntingly palpable. The only other places where I've ever felt something similar in America haven't even had the eerie benefit of solitude or a romantic air of abandonment going for them. And yet if any place in America feels haunted, Gettysburg does. Just this year, the park service opened a huge yet ever so discreetly concealed new visitor centre, tucked away in newly planted woods, to replace the modernist 1960s building that stood smack on top of the Union positions on Cemetery Ridge. Present-day fascination with the civil war has its geeky, creepily obsessive side.

Comedy Crime Family and self Love Into the Future: Social Media Info Elevates Big Data Predictions Your tweets do have meaning. To your family and friends, of course and maybe to some colleagues. But we are referring to a bigger meaning for your online musings, in the bundled and aggregated sense. Sophisticated investors and some government agencies are increasingly analyzing social media data to enhance their own statistical predictive capabilities. They are searching for patterns, trends and anomalies that may provide knowledge about the direction of various markets; for securities, for products, for services, for political outcomes and any other knowledge from which advantage can be derived. Tweets, Facebook likes and shared articles are among the clues. Downsides do exist. Skepticism about the worth of bundled tweets or likes is already abundant. Ariana Cha reports in the Washington Post:
1860 Election Some writers blame the Democrats, and especially the Southern Democrats, for Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860. The split in the Democratic Party that summer is said to have opened the door for the new Republican Party. Because the divided Democrats could not agree on a candidate, this theory goes, the split in the party allowed Lincoln to capture the White House with a mere 39 percent of the popular vote. This is provably false. Lincoln got 180 electoral votes and 1,865,593 popular votes. Breckenridge got 72 electoral votes and 848,356 popular votes. Douglas got 12 electoral votes and 1,382,713 popular votes. Bell got 39 electoral votes and 592,906 popular votes. Even if you take all the Democratic electors into one pool, they only have 123 electoral votes. Amazingly, it could at that moment in American history. *New Jersey's electoral votes were split, four for Lincoln, three for Douglas. **South Carolina still did not hold popular votes for presidential electors. Politics are strange.
