January 18, 532: In Constantinople the Nika riots come to an end with Justinian still holding the office of Emperor. Senators opposed to Justinian took advantage of these riots, which had grown out of a dispute over chariot competition, to try and bring an end to Justinian’s imperial rule. Justinian was ready to flee the city and effectively give up his power. However, his wife refused to leave and give him the courage to stay and defeat the mob and his enemies. History does not record the views held by Justinian’s opponents concerning the Jewish people and Judaism. But it does not seem possible that the Jews could have been any worse off if they had won given Justinian’s anti-Jewish policies. For example, “Justinian ruled that ‘Jews must never enjoy the fruits of office, but only its pains and penalties…They shall enjoy no honors. Their status shall reflect the baseness which in their souls they have elected and desired.’” Justinian firmly established the principle of servitus Jadaeorum (servitude of the Jews) and “the hitherto uneven pattern of persecution was systematized” as Christianity and state power became synonymous.[1]

533 A.D. The Empire strikes back. More than a century after the sack of Rome, self proclaimed Romans march forth from the Bysantine capital of Constantinople. They were intent on recapturing all of the western territories that had fallen to despots like Clovis. By this time Italy, Spain, and North Africa had all fallen to barbarian leaders.[2]



In 533 CE Emperor Justinian attacked Carthage and the rich olive oil lands and took back the treasure. After Justinian attacked Carthage the temple treasure was brought to Constantinople. The advisors of Justinian told him, that where ever the temple treasure went, the city was destroyed. First Jerusalem, then Rome now Carthage, and (later) Constantinople. According to Procopius Justinian sent the treasure to “the sanctuaries of the Christians in Jerusalem.”[3]

January 18, 749: According to Michael the Syrian, several ships were sunk off the coast of Palestine and Lebanon as the result of an earthquake.[4]

January 18, 1562: The Council of Trent reconvenes after a ten year break. The Council of Trent adopted additional books for inclusion in the Old Testament.This meant that the Tanach (the Hebrew Bible, or simply The Bible) and Old Testament of the Christian Bible were no longer the same texts. A discussion of the implications of this change is far beyond the scope of this daily summary.[5]

January 18, 1803

President Jefferson asks Congress for an appropriation of $2500 to fund the Lewis and Clark Expedition.[6]

Determined to begin the American exploration of the vast mysterious regions of the Far West, President Thomas Jefferson sends a special confidential message to Congress asking for money to fund the journey of Lewis and Clark.

Jefferson had been trying to mount a western expedition of exploration since the 1790s, and his determination to do so had only grown since he became president in 1801. In summer 1802, Jefferson began actively preparing for the mission, recruiting his young personal secretary, Meriwether Lewis, to be its leader. Throughout 1802, Jefferson and Lewis discussed the proposed mission, telling no one—not even Congress, which would have to approve the funds—of what they were contemplating.

Jefferson directed Lewis to draw up an estimate of expenses. Basing his calculations on a party of one officer and 10 enlisted men—the number was deliberately kept small to avoid inspiring both congressional criticisms and Indian fears of invasion—Lewis carefully added up the costs for provisions, weapons, gunpowder, scientific instruments, and a large boat. The final tally came to $2,500. The largest item was $696, earmarked for gifts to Indians.

Following the advice of his secretary of the treasury, Albert Gallatin, Jefferson decided not to include the request in his general proposed annual budget, since it involved exploration outside of the nation's own territory. Instead, on January 18, 1803, he sent a special secret message to Congress asking for the money, taking pains to stress that the proposed exploration would be an aid to American commerce. Jefferson noted that the Indians along the proposed route of exploration up the Missouri River "furnish a great supply of furs & pelts to the trade of another nation carried on in a high latitude." If a route into this territory existed, "possibly with a single portage, from the Western ocean," Jefferson suggested Americans might have a superior means of exploiting the fur trade. Though carefully couched in diplomatic language, Jefferson's message to Congress was clear: a U.S. expedition might be able to steal the fur trade from the British and find the long hoped-for Northwest passage to the Pacific.

Despite some mild resistance from Federalists who never saw any point in spending money on the West, Jefferson's carefully worded request prevailed, and Congress approved the $2,500 appropriation by a sizeable margin. It no doubt seemed trivial in comparison to the $9,375,000 they had approved a week earlier for the Louisiana Purchase, which brought much of the territory Jefferson was proposing to explore under American control.

With financing now assured, Lewis immediately began preparing for the expedition. Recruiting his old military friend, William Clark, to be his co-captain, the Corps of Discovery departed on their epic exploration of the uncharted regions in spring 1804.[7]



1803: President Thomas Jefferson to William Henry Harrison, Governor of the Indiana Territory, 1803

You will receive from the Secretary of War … from time to time information and instructions as to our Indian affairs. These communications being for the public records, are restrained always to particular objects and occasions; but this letter being unofficial and private, I may with safety give you a more extensive view of our policy respecting the Indians, that you may the better comprehend the parts dealt out to you in detail through the official channel, and observing the system of which they make a part, conduct yourself in unison with it in cases where you are obliged to act without instruction. Our system is to live in perpetual peace with the Indians, to cultivate an affectionate attachment from them, by everything just and liberal which we can do for them within the bounds of reason, and by giving them effectual protection against wrongs from our own people. The decrease of game rendering their subsistence by hunting insufficient, we wish to draw them to agriculture, to spinning and weaving. The latter branches they take up with great readiness, because they fall to the women, who gain by quitting the labors of the field for, those which are exercised within doors. When they withdraw themselves to the culture of a small piece of land, they will perceive how useless to them are their extensive forests, and will be willing to pare them off from time to time in exchange for necessaries for their farms and families. To promote this disposition to exchange lands, which they have to spare and we want, for necessaries, which we have to spare and they want, we shall push our trading uses, and be glad to see the good and influential individuals among them run in debt, because we observe that when these debts get beyond what the individuals can pay, they become willing to lop them off by a cession of lands. At our trading houses, too, we mean to sell so low as merely to repay us cost and charges, so as neither to lessen or enlarge our capital. This is what private traders cannot do, for they must gain; they will consequently retire from the competition, and we shall thus get clear of this pest without giving offence or umbrage to the Indians. In this way our settlements will gradually circumscribe and approach the Indians, and they will in time either incorporate with us a citizens or the United States, or remove beyond the Mississippi. The former is certainly the termination of their history most happy for themselves; but, in the whole course of this, it is essential to cultivate their love. As to their fear, we presume that our strength and their weakness is now so visible that they must see we have only to shut our hand to crush them, and that all our liberalities to them proceed from motives of pure humanity only. Should any tribe be foolhardy enough to take up the hatchet at any time, the seizing the whole country of that tribe, and driving them across the Mississippi, as the only condition of peace, would be an example to others, and a furtherance of our final consolidation.[8]

1803 – Little Turkey died, and former Lower Cherokee warrior Black Fox was chosen to succeed him as principal chief.[9]

1803-1807 William McCormick was an Auditor of Bullskin Township.[10]

This photograph was taken during a driving tropical rain in Boston and through an iron fence at the Granary Burying Grounds. The stone marks the tomb of Samuel Adams, the “organizer of the Revolution”. It is often said that it was Hancock’s money and Adams’ brains that fueled the revolt. Adams’ fiery speeches, combined with his deft political maneuvering, kept public passions aroused for years.

Appropriately next to Adam’ grave is that of the five victims of the Boston Massacre: Samuel Gray, Samuel Maverick, James Caldwell, Crispus Attucks, and Patrick Carr. Buried with them is Christopher Snider, a young boy killed by a Tory in another incident 11 days earlier. He was the first victim of the struggles between the colonists and the3 mother country. [11]

In 1803 the U.S.S. Constitution sailed to Africa’s northern coast, where the Barbary corsairs were menacing American commerce. By subduing the “haughty tyrant of Tripoli” a nation now known as Libya, Commodore Edward Preble won the frigate her first major victory.[13]

January 1864: Woodlawn

Trails sign located at 8079 State Road 259, Lost River WV 26810
The house, still standing, was the home of James W. Wood, who grew up here and was 15 years old when the war began. He joined the Confederate army in January 1864 and fought at the Wilderness, Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor. He also served with Jubal Early’s Valley army. After the war he served three terms in the West Virginia House of Delegates. [16]

January 18th.1865: We saw land at daylight in the morning. The sea was quite calm. This morning we saw several other vessels that had left Baltimore 2 and 3 days before we did. They was laying here waiting for a pilot. We stopped here a short time then got a pilot. Quite a number of the other vessels went back to Hilton Head. Our vessel and the Steam Ship Hudson New York went up the Warsaw Sound and entered into the Savannah River about a mile below the city, the river being full of obstructions between that and the mouth of the river so that it was not safe for a sea going vessel to go in at the mouth of the river. Here we cast anchor and a river steamer came to us. Gen. Grover and 2 of his staff went on board of her and went on up to the city. We laid at anchor that night.[17]

We had one man died on board and was buried on the bank of the river. He belonged to the 176th Regiment NY. The land on each side of the river was very low & marshy once apparently nothing but sand. The weather was warm and pleasant. But commenced to rain in the evening.[18]

In January 1865, Colonel York, who had lost an arm in the service, complained to General Robert E. Lee that he had between six and seven hundred recruits (Official Records, 4, III, 1029) but was unable to obtain any quartermaster's supplies for them. (Quartermaster's Letters, chapter V, vol. 20, p. 410.)

January 1869: From the onset of the violence used by the Klu Klux Klan General Forest was against the terror. He ordered the Klan disbanded, its records destroyed, its robes burned. Some local Klans adhered to the order, many did not.[19]

January 18, 1912: President Taft received a delegation representing the American Association of Foreign Language Newspapers led by Louis N. Hammerling. Mr. Taft said he favored admission of desirable immigrants, but immigration laws should be strictly enforced. The issue of immigration is especially sensitive for American Jews. Attempts to limit immigration from eastern and southern Europe were seen, in part, as an attempt to keep Jews from Russia, Romania and Poland from entering the United States. The term “desirable immigrants” was often used as a code to describe those coming from Western Europe and Scandinavia. To add to the complexity of the issue, Jews of Germanic origins were concerned about the influx of Jews from Eastern Europe. They were afraid that this onslaught of what they considered “the great unwashed” would bring on a wave of anti-Semitism in the United States.[23]

January 18, 1916

Wm. H. Goodlove (great-grandfather of Winton D. Goodlove) died. Burial at Jordan’s Grove Cemetery.[24]

January 18, 1919: On this day in Paris, France, some of the most powerful people in the world meet to begin the long, complicated negotiations that would officially mark the end of the First World War. [25]

Leaders of the victorious Allied powers--France, Great Britain, the United States and Italy--would make most of the crucial decisions in Paris over the next six months. For most of the conference, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson struggled to support his idea of a "peace without victory" and make sure that Germany, the leader of the Central Powers and the major loser of the war, was not treated too harshly. On the other hand, Prime Ministers Georges Clemenceau of France and David Lloyd George of Britain argued that punishing Germany adequately and ensuring its weakness was the only way to justify the immense costs of the war. In the end, Wilson compromised on the treatment of Germany in order to push through the creation of his pet project, an international peacekeeping organization called the League of Nations. [26]

Representatives from Germany were excluded from the peace conference until May, when they arrived in Paris and were presented with a draft of the Versailles Treaty. Having put great faith in Wilson's promises, the Germans were deeply frustrated and disillusioned by the treaty, which required them to forfeit a great deal of territory and pay reparations. Even worse, the infamous Article 231 forced Germany to accept sole blame for the war. This was a bitter pill many Germans could not swallow. [27]
