HISTORY OFTEN REPEATS ITSELF!

The news cycle keeps saying that the last time the U.S. Capitol was attacked was during the War of 1812. Not sure how or why they all missed discovering this occurrence. The last time the U.S. Capitol was attacked was in 1971. Ironically, the bombing was attributed to anti-war protestors upset over the bombing of Laos. Read the excerpt below on what was done to make sure the US. Capitol would not be subject to attack in the future

Jacon LeislerEver hear of Jacob Leisler? I had not until coming across him in some recent research.

In 1691, he was executed for leading an insurrection and seizing control of New Amsterdam. Later, folks felt he got a bad rap, and in 1913 the adjoining statue was erected in New Rochelle, NY. I came across a small mention in his biography that was quite a surprise. “Leisler had endeared himself to the common people by befriending a family of French Huguenots who had landed on Manhattan island. They were so destitute that a public tribunal had decided that they should be sold into slavery to pay for their ship charges. Leisler prevented the sale by purchasing the freedom of the widowed mother and son before the sale could be held.” Apparently, in the late 1600s, families could be sold into slavery for debt recovery.

On the note of slavery. The recent discovery of census records allows John Hopkins University associates to expand their understanding of their founder.
