Abolición de la esclavitud en EE.UU.
El presidente Lincoln abole la esclavitud en todo el territorio americano .
Tal día como hoy en 1863 el decimosexto presidente de Estados Unidos decreta la abolición de la esclavitud en todo el territorio americano.
Abraham Lincoln introdujo medidas para llevar a cabo la abolición y emitió la Proclamación de Emancipación el mismo año.
También cambió la Constitución en 1865 creando la Decimotercera Enmienda donde prohibía oficialmente la esclavitud con excepciones limitadas (como a los condenados por un delito). También abolió la servidumbre involuntaria.
En el momento de la Proclamación de Emancipación, la esclavitud continuaba siendo legal en Delaware, Kentucky, Misuri, Maryland y Nueva Yersey hasta 1865 que terminó en todos los Estados.

TO ALL BORN IN 1930's, 1940's, 50's, 60's, 70's and Early 80's
de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL BORN IN 1930's, 1940's, 50's, 60's, 70's and Early 80's !!! First, you survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a tin, and didn't get tested for diabetes. Then after that trauma, your baby cots were covered with bright colored lead-based paints. You had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when you rode your bikes, you had no helmets, not to mention, the risks you took hitchhiking .. As children, you would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a van - loose - was always great fun. You drank water from the garden hosepipe and NOT from a bottle. You shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this. You ate cakes, white bread and real butter and drank pop with sugar in it, but you weren't overweight because...... YOU WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!! You would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach you all day. And you were OK. You would spend hours building your go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out you forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, you learned to solve the problem . You did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no text messaging, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........YOU HAD FRIENDS and you went outside and found them! You fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents you played with worms(well most boys did) and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever. You made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although you were told it would happen, you did not poke out any eyes. You rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them! Local teams had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! The idea of a parent bailing you out if you broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law! This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever! The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. You had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and you learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL! And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS! You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good. And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.

What People in 1939 Imagined For 2000
Ancient Faces
de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception
One could argue that New York practically invented, or at least modernized, the New Year's holiday.
It all began with the early Dutch settlers, who started the tradition of New Year’s calling - going around the colony “calling” on friends and neighbors to wish them well in the coming year and to indulge in plenty of pipe-smoking and partying too.
In the 19th century, New Year’s calling persisted, and bells rang at midnight on January 1 at Trinity Church in Lower Manhattan.
By the 20th century, both traditions were replaced with something new - the dropping of an illuminated ball in Times Square starting on December 31, 1907. Gathering in restaurants and bars became popular, as this photo, dated 1910-1915, shows.
Prohibition would soon put a damper on all that. Happy New Year's to all at Ancient Faces!

On this day in history, 1st January...
1463 - Probable birthdate of Silvestro Gigli, diplomat and Bishop of Worcester, at Lucca in Italy. Gigli was nominated as Bishop of Worcester in December 1498, and enthroned in April 1499.
1511 - Birth of Henry, Duke of Cornwall, son of Catherine of Aragon and Henry VIII. See http://www.theanneboleynfiles.com/birth-of-henry-duke-of-cornwall-new-years-day-1511/
1514 - Death of Louis XII of France, less than three months after his marriage to Mary Tudor, the sister of Henry VIII. He did not have a son, and so was succeeded by Francis I, his cousin's son and the husband of Louis' daughter, Claude. Louis was buried in Saint Denis Basilica.
1537 - Marriage of James V of Scotland and Madeleine de Valois, daughter of Francis I, at Notre Dame in Paris.
1540 - Henry VIII met his bride-to-be, Anne of Cleves, at Rochester. Following the great chivalric tradition, Henry disguised himself and attempted to kiss her, but a shocked Anne did not recognise him as King. It was a disastrous first meeting, and Henry was sorely disappointed that she could not recognise him as her true love. Seehttp://www.theanneboleynfiles.com/anne-of-cleves-meets-henry-viii-1-january-1540/
1556 - Nicholas Heath, Archbishop of York, became Mary I's Lord Chancellor.

J.D. Salinger

“Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be.”
- J.D. Salinger, born 1 January 1919.
American writer who won acclaim early in life for his 1951 novel, The Catcher in the Rye. His depiction of adolescent alienation and loss of innocence in the protagonist Holden Caulfield was influential, especially among adolescent readers. It remains widely read and controversial, selling around 250,000 copies a year.

E.M. Forster
de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception
"I believe in aristocracy...if that is the right word, and if a democrat may use it. Not an aristocracy of power... but... of the sensitive, the considerate... Its members are to be found in all nations and classes, and all through the ages... there is a secret understanding between them when they meet. They represent the true human tradition, the one permanent victory of our queer race over cruelty and chaos. Thousands of them perish in obscurity, a few are great names. They are sensitive for others as well as themselves... considerate without being fussy, their pluck is not swankiness but the power to endure."
- E.M. Forster, born 1 January 1879.
English novelist, short story writer, essayist and librettist. He is known best for his novels examining class difference and hypocrisy in early 20th-century British society. His humanistic impulse toward understanding and sympathy may be aptly summed up in the epigraph to his 1910 novel Howards End: "Only connect … ". His 1908 novel, A Room with a View, is his most optimistic work, while A Passage to India (1924) brought him his greatest success.
