From the beginning of recorded time persons who have considered themselves as a Superior race have held other races as inferior intellectually, morally and spiritually. This is no different than the "Black Lives Matter" issue. This book more clearly defines how our parents and forefathers have influenced their children and fellow citizens on others that they consider as a lessor class of people. The history written in this book, such as turning black people's skin white or considering shipping blacks to an island or a separate isolated area is eye opening.

This is a course about the religious life of Civil War soldiers. Both Northerners and Southerners believed that God was on their side and each side came into the war with a firm belief that they would win. But when what everyone thought would be a short war turned into a long and bloody conflict, attitudes changed. Religion became important not only for larger principles but on a day-to-day basis to men who knew their lives could end in the next battle. As the fighting turned against the Confederacy in the last year, the southern soldier had to wonder if God had abandoned his cause. We will also discuss the main denominations, which at that time were Methodists, Baptists, and Presbyterians, and their roles in the soldiers’ lives.

Led by manager Jake Atz and featuring pitching aces Joe Pate and Paul Wachtel and slugger Clarence "Big Boy" Kraft, the Panthers dominated minor league baseball in the South during the early 20's. They are considered by some to be one of the two greatest teams in minor league history.

Prior to and throughout World War II, the German political and military commands encoded all messages sent over their radio networks to prevent the Allies from collecting this invaluable intelligence. They were so positive in the security of their Enigma system that they trusted it until the end of the war. Unknown to the Germans, the Allies had begun intercepting and decoding most of their highest level communications in the early 1930's and continued breaking the code throughout the war. The movie, The Imitation Game, is about Alan Turning, one of the principle code breakers and the work carried out by the British at Bletchley Park. The allies' ability to read the German's daily mail was a very closely guarded secret. This remarkable feat has been credited with shortening WW II by at least two years and saving millions of lives. The phenomenal accomplishments of Turing and the other Bletchley Park cryptanalyst were not publicly acknowledged until the early 1970's and many died without ever being recognized for this miraculous feat. This lecture will review the Enigma machine's history, its operation, and the allies' successful effort to break the code, even as it changed daily throughout the war.

Controversy over the name and route of the Chisholm Trail has persisted over time; and the popularity of late nineteenth-century Wild West shows, dime novels, and twentieth-century radio, movie, and television western drama has propelled the bygone era of the cattle trail into myth. The rise of automobile tourism, potential economic impact of tourists, and the appearance of numerous "historical" markers based on little more than hearsay contributed to the Chisholm Trail legend. Primary documents and sources that may have been unavailable to previous historians will be used to offer a new look at the Old Chisholm Trail.

Because of a compromise with the Southern States the in 1790 the Residence Act set aside an area not exceeding ten miles square to establish a Permanent seat of Government of the United States in the South. And, with no "conflict of interest" due to land ownership by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson the area on the Potomac River was chosen for the city and the "Presidential Palace" renamed the "White House". Pierre L'Enfant dreamed up the concept of the city and Andrew Ellicott surveyed the layout of the city. This compromise created support for Alexander Hamilton's Federal Bank to take on the State's individual debts including much of the paper money the States had issued. But, according to one critic "the area bears no more proportion to the country about Philadelphia than a (scrawny) Crane does to a (fat) stalled-fed Ox" This class is to study and discuss the history of our "Paris" of the USA.
