GENEALOGY WE HAD A TEN PERSON SUPREME COURT
Genealogy When Lincoln became president in 1861, seven Southern states had already seceded from the Union, yet half of the Supreme Court justices were Southerners, including Chief Justice Roger B. Taney of Maryland. One other Southern member had died in 1860, without replacement. All were Democratic appointees.
The Court was “the last stronghold of Southern power,” according to one Northern editor. Five sitting justices were among the court’s 7-2 majority in the racist 1857 Dred Scott v. Sandford ruling, in which Taney wrote that Black people were “so far inferior that they had no...

It is one of the chemical compounds responsible for bad breath and the smell of flatus.

FAMILY SANTA COMES DOWN THE CHIMNEY ON NEW YEAR'S EVE?
You can see in the pictures above that in the 1800's Santa was not commonly portrayed as a plump jolly guy. The guy in the article on top has a pipe, but no beard. Possibly the four Santa Claus' above us were retired Civil War generals?
You can see the old articles about New Year's Eve as being when cookies were laid out and Santa went down the chimney on New Year's Eve. Apparently, in other nations, but also America that used to be quite common. Find more information at the link...

ANCESTORS- HENRY LOWRY THE ROBIN HOOD OF ROBESON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
The Confederate government used conscription to force many locals to work on the construction of various forts around the Cape Fear River area for very little pay. Several Lowry cousins, excluded from military service because they were free men of color, had been conscripted to help build Fort Fisher. The Lowry Gang was initially started to aid those hiding from conscription. Other residents resorted to "lying out" (hiding in the region's swamps) to avoid being rounded up by the Confederate Home Guard and forced to work for low wages. As...

GENEALOGIST- THE GREAT RAILROAD STRIKE OF 1877
The Great Railroad Strike of 1877, sometimes referred to as the Great Upheaval, began on July 14 in Martinsburg, West Virginia, after the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) cut wages for the third time in a year. This strike finally ended 52 days later, after it was put down by unofficial militias, the National Guard, and federal troops. Because of economic problems and pressure on wages by the railroads, workers in numerous other cities, in New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, into Illinois and Missouri, also went out on strike. An estimated 100 people were...

GENEALOGIST FOR HIRE- THE HAPPIEST AND LEAST HAPPY STATES IN AMERICA!
I get Utah, being the happiest state for the reasons they mentioned above. Vermont is the chill part of the Northeast. Wisconsin, Iowa, and Nebraska have those good old-fashioned midwestern values. Colorado and Wyoming have the "outdoorsyness" of Utah.
In the 60s you have more outdoorsy western states like Alaska, Hawaii, Washington, Idaho, and Montana along with brightly-lit Nevada. More midwestern places like North Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota. Kentucky, Alabama, Tennessee, and North Carolina bring the mid-eastern states into the rankings, along with New York the cultural icon.

FAMILY HISTORY- SANTA CLAUS' TOMB HAS BEEN DISCOVERED- AND YOU CAN VISIT- Archaeologists claim to have found the grave of Saint Nicholas beneath a church in Turkey
Kids, don’t let anyone tell you Santa Claus isn’t real. Or, more accurately, that he wasn’t real.
When we’re talking about Santa Claus, we are, of course, really talking about Saint Nicholas of Myra: a bishop who lived from AD 270 to 343. He’s the guy that the Santa Claus myth is based on, thanks to his reputed habit of distributing gifts to the poor and needy. And he is apparently buried under St Nicholas...
