Happy Birthday to the great State of Florida!
On this day in 1845, Florida became the nation's 27th state.

Charles Dickens was born #onthisday 1812. In 1845, he visited Rome's Non-Catholic Cemetery.
'To an English traveller,' Dickens notes, this marks the graves of Shelley and Keats, ''whose name is writ in water' that shines brightly in the landscape of a calm Italian night.'
In 1845, Asher Durand built on two 1844 paintings and extended a mythology that whites already recognized as a lie... but held on to because it provided legal cover for Native dispossession.
American art has always been ideological.

On this day in 1845, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror set sail from Greenhithe in Kent, with a mission to find the Northwest Passage. With 132 men under the command of Sir John Franklin, it was the best supplied expedition ever. None returned.
Hoffmann’s “Der Struwwelpeter,” from 1845, is a terrifying, German children’s book. In moralizing tales, children are gravely punished for “bad” deeds —like “shaggy Peter’s” hygiene, & thumb-sucking! 😂Chilling images were burned into kids’ memories forever. 📚
