  • Lunga Vita Al Sud!
    LUNGA VITA AL SUD! (O come il Sud riuscì a vincere la guerra). POD: Nel 1862 il generale confederato Robert Lee marciò verso Nord, invadendo Maryland e Pennsylvania, prendendo completamente di sorpresa l’esercito nordista. Tuttavia un messaggero sudista che stava trasportando tutti i piani di Lee smarrì la strada e venne catturato e questo permise a McClellan d’intercettarlo con la battaglia di Antieman. Ma cosa sarebbe successo se quel messaggero non fosse stato catturato? 1860: in novembre, al termine di una confusa campagna elettorale con il Partito Democratico spaccato in due tra abolizionisti e schiavisti, il repubblicano Abraham Lincoln vince le elezioni sui democratici Stephen Douglas e John Breckinridge. Il 20 dicembre, con la secessione della Sud Carolina, inizia la secessione degli Stati Confederati. 1861: Il senatore del Missouri Jefferson Davis è eletto presidente provvisorio degli Stati Confederati d’America(Confederates States of America o CSA), con capitale Richmond. Il 12 aprile truppe sudiste attaccano Fort Sumter, al largo di Charleston in Sud Carolina, dando così via alla guerra d’indipendenza. Lincoln, insediatosi il 4 marzo, invia 75 000 uomini guidati dal generale George McClellan a invadere la Virginia ma questi sono sconfitti a Bull Run dal generale Robert Lee. George McClellan, considerato uno dei peggiori generali americani di sempre. 1862: Tra l’8 e il 9 marzo le truppe nordiste non riescono a prendere Richmond, capitale della Confederazione, mentre la USS Monitor e la CSS Virginia si cannoneggiano ad Hampton Roads. Il 25 aprile l’ammiraglio David Ferragut occupa New Orleans ma il 25 giugno Lee lancia la Controffensiva dei 7 giorni e espelle i nordisti dalla Virginia.

  • Arkansas Civil Rights Heritage Trail
    Arkansas Civil Rights Heritage Trail 1. Historic West Ninth Street Broadway Street at West Ninth Street As early as the 1840s and expanding into the 1880s, both black and white businesses existed in what is now known as Downtown Little Rock. By the late 1800s, a prolific, centrally located, black social and business corridor dominated West Ninth Street. In 1898, D. B. Gaines, a local black physician who also served as pastor of Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church, wrote a book titled Racial Possibilities as Indicated by the Negroes of Arkansas. The last chapter, “Colored Business Directory of Little Rock,” documents the existence of a vibrant commercial hub with nearly twenty churches and hundreds of black business people. The black district was home to doctors, dentists, lawyers, and entrepreneurs such as restauranteurs, newspaper publishers, drug store operators, barbers, tailors, and trades people. This city- within-a-city served the needs of the black community from the 1880s through the 1950s. Gaines described the conditions in the community and offered a representation of the resources and capabilities of black people of the state. West Ninth Street saw its heyday between the 1870s and the 1950s. Since the 1960s, a number of factors, including desegregation, urbanization, urban renewal, and the construction of I-630, have led to its decline. 2. Lynching of John Carter West Ninth Street and Broadway Street On May 4, 1927, Little Rock witnessed its worst episode of racial violence in the twentieth century. Thirty- eight year old African American John Carter allegedly “assaulted” two white women on the outskirts of the city.
