America’s Real Assassination Conspiracy. Lee has surrendered, and the Confederacy is doomed. The Civil War is over. But when the nation could be rejoicing, it’s plunged into grief by the assassination of President Lincoln. But in less than 24 hours, everyone would learn it was not the act of a lone madman, but a conspiracy designed to cut off both the head of the American government and its military. In the end, only Lincoln is killed. Nevertheless, the people want revenge… and they’ll get it. Except for the ones who got away.

But the French spent almost as much time fighting each other as they did the Germans. But in the end the world saw what individuals were capable of when then gathered to resist the forces of tyranny.

Widely reported in the press in 1914, it would not be mentioned in a single history of the war until 1984. It has never been repeated on such a large scale.

Battle of Hastings. When Roman military forces left Britannia, the local lords were left to defend the island. First, it was invaded by the Saxons, the Angles (where we get the word English), and the Jutes. Next, it was invaded by the Vikings. Then, when the Anglo-Saxons sent them packing, they were invaded by the Vikings again. Yet, despite all this, they built a nation-state where even the king was subject to the laws of the realm. Only in 1066, the Normans invaded… and no one would successfully invade England ever again. Please register for this class if you are interested in participating via Zoom only.
