Independent India has always been a vibrant democracy, except for the #Emergency years of #IndiraGandhi from 1975-77. That it has taken a decisive turn to religious majoritarianism under the #BJP and under #Modi since 2014 doesn't change that fact. (1/)
Democracy is not necessarily congruent with liberal values or even human rights. #Slavery was legal both in the democracy of Great Britain as well as the USA for almost a hundred years since the US' formation. Even a White woman was not considered equal to a man in America. (2/)
#Blacks in the #US did not have equal rights even after the abolition of slavery for another 100 years under #Lincoln, but we still think of the US in #1960 as a democracy.

Visited @LincolnBirthNPS small but informative! Expanded my knowledge of #Lincoln from his @LincolnBoyhood to his #loncolnsbirthplace. #nationalparks #travelblogger #kentucy #MidWest
Stopped by @visitbardstown and @JimBeam I didn’t have a good experience at #JimBeam. In line to check out two bottles #burbonwhisky on the 2nd floor but the cashier just ignored us as he was talking to another group of customers endlessly. We had to go downstairs🌚

#OTD in 1862, #Confederate soldiers repulsed a massive #Union assault on the second day of the #Battle of #Fredericksburg. Wave after wave of Union soldiers were mowed down during a full frontal assault against Confederate troops positioned at Marye’s Heights. Image
After the Battle of #Antietam a few months earlier, General #McClellan allowed Lee's Army to retreat back to #Virginia to fight another day. #President #Lincoln then relieved McClellan of command and replace him with General Ambrose #Burnside. Image
Burnside quickly planned a fall offensive to move on #Richmond. However, the Union Army's operation faced logistical setbacks, allowing Lee to settle in at Fredericksburg. Burnside chose to attack Lee head on, a decision that proved disastrous.

HISTORY: Nov 1864 From Pres #Lincoln To Ms. Bixby Mother Of 5 Boys:

Dear Madam,
I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. (1/4)
CONTINUED: I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. (2/4)
CONTINUED: I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, (3/4)

Saisissant constat du @washingtonpost : FDR définit l'identité démocratique US dans la lutte contre le nazisme, Truman et les suivants contre l'URSS. Puis Bush face au terrorisme islamiste. #Biden identifie lui l'ennemi de la #démocratie US à l'intérieur
washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
2. On ne peut minorer la rupture historique double, à la fois personnelle et générale, qu'est ce discours du président #Biden désignant une partie de la population US comme menace existentielle pour la démocratie américaine. 1 langage actant 1 situation de pré- guerre civile...
3. Une rupture générale car l'histoire des Etats-Unis et de l'émergence de leur puissance régionale puis mondiale à la XIXe siècle s'est bâtie sur la réunion et la réconciliation post- guerre civile de la "maison divisée" qu'avait dénoncée Lincoln avant le début de cette guerre..

Allan Pinkerton was born #OTD in 1819 in Glasgow, Scotland. He headed the Union Intelligence Service during the Civil War and helped lay the foundation for the U.S. Secret Service, FBI, and CIA. He also founded the famed Pinkerton National Detective Agency, which still exists.
Pinkerton emigrated to United States 1842 and founded a cooperage in Dundee, Illinois, just outside of Chicago. He became an abolitionist and operated a safe house for fugitive enslaved people on the Underground Railroad.
Pinkerton was appointed as the first Chicago police detective in 1849 after uncovering a counterfeit scheme. He founded what would become the Pinkerton National Detective Agency in 1850. The Pinkerton Agency specialized in investigating train robberies.

Tweets from a recent #Lincolnshire Day Ranger rail ticket to cover what remains of the railways there. The railway network in the county was severely depleted by the closures of October 1970 but passenger services to the east coast @ #Skegness & #Cleethorpes remain. 1/15
Starting at #Skegness, the station concourse features a statue of 'Skegness Sam', famous from the 'Skegness is so Bracing' old Great Northern Railway poster. Old style semaphore signals still exist & the line from #Nottingham in now known as 'Poacher Line'. 2/15
Skegness-Grantham: Top left c/w leaving #Skegness the train passed the scorched, flat agricultural lands of #Lincolnshire & through market towns of #Boston, with it landmark church (Boston Stump) & #Sleaford with its magnificent set of disused malthouses once owned by Bass. 3/15

1/ from our first story in last week's newsletter:

"Construction of the Issoudun Aerodrome in rural France began in July 1917, and although the air base was still under construction, the first American flight students and instructors arrived for flight training in November. Image
2/ Among them was Harry Wingate, the 22-yr-old son of a GA tobacco farmer and an expert pilot. He was assigned to Training Field #8, one of 11 separate airfields, where he would teach advanced combat flight tactics-what laymen would call stunt flying- in a French Nieuport biplane Image
