This is the American Gothic. If you’ve never been to the USA, this image sums it up pretty well.

September 23, 1806: Lewis and Clark Return from Expedition

On this day in 1806, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark returned from their two-and-a-half-year expedition, which covered the expanse from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Coast and back.

The two men brought back a wealth of information about the largely unexplored region within the Louisiana Purchase territory. During their expedition, Lewis and Clark studied the plants, animal life, geography and elements of economic opportunity throughout the vast area.

Check out this Lewis and Clark: Into the Unknown interactive story in which you lead the expedition.

Here's fact: Meriwether Lewis was sent by old Tommy Jefferson to try to right the wrongs old Johnny Adams made by the Sedition Act (which ordered everybody to stop talking trash about the government and it was a bad act too because it plugged up freedom of speech and press and it was awfully reminiscent of the GOOD OLD ENGLAND DAYS™) so he right professionally walked into a prison where a writer and newspaper publisher had been locked away for TREASON against King John Adams™. So Meriwether said to this guy, "The president is willing to make a deal. He can help you get out of prison by paying part of your fine. He can't do all of it, but he can do part of it and you can pay the rest and then you'll be free to write what you want." Because that's freedom. But this guy, whose name was James Callendar, said, "Ha! No way! The president should pay all my fine. Why should I pay for part of tyranny against me?" And Meriwether said, "Sorry, but that's the only deal I'm authorized to make." Well, James Calendar said, "Well guess what?! I have some dirt on Thomas Jefferson. You pay all my fine or I'll get out of this prison and spread that dirt so hard and so fast Thomas Jefferson will lose his entire career!" Well you know how Meriwether is. He said, "YOU TRASH" and walked out. And he told Tommy J when he got back to whatever home the White House was, "You know, he said he had dirt on you. Does he???" And Thomas Jefferson said, "Aw kid, there's nothing James Callendar knows that I'm not ashamed of." And that was that -- until James Callendar got out of prison, headed for his printing press and told a whole bunch of truth, not lies, about how Thomas Jefferson had a torrid affair with his slave, Sally Hemings. So James Callendar was trash for being a tabloid and Thomas Jefferson was trash for using Sally and then refusing to acknowledge it. Lesson learned: don't be so quick to deny that people have dirt on you and also that Meriwether and Sally, who were contemporaries, were the only people involved who weren't trash.

#I had to tell a story #meriwether and sally were contemporaries and tools of thomas jefferson #sally was only a year older than meriwether #so now you know

The Equal Justice Initiative is building a memorial for lynching victims — and it’s about time.

The Equal Justice Initiative announced on Tuesday that it will build the first-ever national memorial to lynching victims in Montgomery, Alabama. Titled “Memorial to Peace and Justice,” the EJI project will sit on six acres of land that used to be a public housing project in Montgomery.

The structure will include the thousands of lynching victims’ names on concrete columns, which will represent hundreds of U.S. counties where the acts took place. The memorial will also coincide with the opening of a museum.

History Fact:

George Washington died in 1799, 25 years before the first dinosaur was classified.

So therefore, George Washington never knew about dinosaurs.

While sailing in the Mediterranean sea, in 1962, the American aircraft carrier USS Independence (CV-62) flashed the Italian Amerigo Vespucci with light signal asking «Who are you?», the full rigged ship answered «Training ship Amerigo Vespucci, Italian Navy». The US ship replied «You are the most beautiful ship in the world».
