In September, 1862, Wilder commanded a brigade of 4,000 men at Munfordville, KY, when the town was surrounded by over 22,000 confederates. Wilder refused to surrender for three days until given a tour of the strong confederate lines. He was held prisoner for two months.
ON this day in 1795 the Dutch Republic becomes the Batavian Republic (a French client state). The confederal structure of the old republic was replaced by a unitary state. For the first time in Dutch history, the constitution that was adopted in 1798 had a democratic character.
The 15th Amendment gave African American men the right to vote. But within 10 years, former Confederates regained control of southern state governments & used restrictive voter qualifications to keep them from the polls. Learn more in our #VoicesVotes exhibition @VespasianWarner.

5. The Reagan era was the time of the Super-Patriot. Marvel installed a new, right-wing Captain America, indie comics brought us the satirical, darkly humorous The American, and then there was (ulp) Captain Confederacy (don't worry, it's not what it seems)...
@Superjustinbros When drawin wrestlers I took existin stuff & flipped it
Like this tag team. A heel & manager. I thought about Big Boss man. BBM was like a prison guard with a confederate patch so I made the heel white trashy and the manager hot black woman.
So i would just go about like that
3. Los durotriges fueron una confederación de tribus más que un pueblo homogéneo, acuñaron moneda y mantenían relación comercial con otras tribus celtas del continente. Tuvieron una gran actividad textil y metalúrgica. Aunque se resistieron a la invasión romana, hacia el ⤵️
But remember, the confederates will always have my blessing... And each other. Always.
On 5 January 1477, Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, died during the Battle of #Nancy. In @MedWarMag IV.4 we discuss the details of Charles the Bold’s campaigns against the Swiss Confederacy, amongst others his final stand outside the walls of Nancy: https://t.co/serquJdKmM
#OtD 1 Jan 1863 Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, not because he was anti-racist but to undermine Confederacy: "I am not, nor ever have been, in favour of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white & Black races": https://t.co/s6STHbJtVW
Some of the first urban warfare in Americn history had taken place during the crossing, as U.S. infantry rowed across the river and went house to house clearing out confederate sharpshooters. Much of the town was then flattened by U.S. artillery.
"In harmony, enlightenment. In enlightenment, harmony."
Stewards of the divine wilds, warrior-priests, and enforcers of hiyang. THE CONFEDERATION OF APUMBUKID, a sovereign state of communities, one of the major polities set to change the world in #GubatBanwa!
Herron used his artillery to great effect, disabling most of the confederate guns and using it effectively against rebel attacks. Hearing the sounds of the battle, Blunt ordered his wing to march to the sound, led by the 11th Kansas Volunteer Infantry under Colonel Thomas Ewing.
@undeadscribe Kinnikuman Nisei ( Ultimate Muscle) have Gorgeousman or ゴージャスマン
He too is a Confederacy theme hero , Minor character though Kid Muscle did wear his suit at one point @undeadscribe
Just so my non-American followers are aware, the stars n bars is slang for the “confederate flag” which represented The South during the civil war. What was the civil war about? The states right to own slaves. Guess which side was pro-slavery.
Both sides attacked and counter-attacked, but ultimately the larger U.S. force forced the confederates to withdraw. Kilpatrick then ordered the bridges over Brier Creek burned, helping to protect the flank of General Sherman on his March to the Sea.
The Lenape story of the "Great Turtle" was first recorded by Europeans between 1678 and 1680 by Jasper Danckaerts. The story is shared by other Northeastern Woodlands tribes, notably those of the Iroquois Confederacy.
