December 18, 1271: Kublai Khan renames his empire "Yuan" (元 yuán), officially marking the start of the Yuan Dynasty of China. Reportedly, Marco Polo found several influential Jews at the court of Kubla Khan. These Jews would have been descendants of Persian Jews who probably came to China the 11th century as merchants. In the 13th century, Marco Polo, traveling in China spoke of meeting Jews or hearing about them during his travels in the Middle Kingdom. Polo recorded that Kublai Khan himself celebrated the festivals of the Muslims, Christians and Jews alike. Historical sources also describe Jewish communities at various cities, including Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Ningbo, and Yangzhou. Only the community in Kaifeng (Henan Province) survived since its founding around 240 BCE[1]
1272: In 1272, the papal repudiation of the blood libel was repeated by Pope Gregory X, who also ruled that thereafter any such testimony of a Christian against a Jew could not be accepted unless it is confirmed by another Jew. Unfortunately, these proclamations from the highest sources were not effective in altering the beliefs of the Christian majority and libels continued.

December 18, 1768
"The Reverend Daniel MacKinnon (5th great grandfather)was admitted a Deacon by the Bishop of London on the 18th of December, 1768, at the Chapel Royal, St. James, and three days later was admitted Priest at the same place. Immediately after this, he went out as a Missionary to the Plantations of Maryland. It is further recorded that he was very active in founding Churches in that Colony, and visited England subsequently to solicit funds and books for that purpose. After accomplishing this, he embarked for America, but his ship was lost at sea. No traces of her passengers or crew were ever found. His only daughter married Thomas Rogers, of Maryland. Some have thought that Daniel is identical with Donald, youngest son of John of Mishinish, the change of name being not uncommon on emigrations, but there is no proof." [4]
December 18, 1776: Both houses of the General Assembly of Virginia passed a resolution that it was expedient and wise to remove as much as possible all causes of future controversy ; and " to quiet the minds of the people that may be affected thereby, and to take from our common enemies an opportunity of fomenting mutual distrust and jealousy, the commonwealth ought to offer such reasonable terms of accommodation, (even if the loss of some territory is incurred thereby), as may be cordially accepted by our sister State, and an end put to all future dispute by a firm and permanent agreement and settlement. ' ' The resolutions then proceeded to authorize the Virginia delegates in Congress to propose to Pennsylvania that a line be drawn from the Maryland corner on Mason and Dixon's line due north to parallel of
latitude 40°, and thence the southern boundary of Pennsylvania was to
be run full five degrees of longitude west from the Delaware River, and
from the end of that line the western boundary should be run corre-
sponding with the meanderings of the Delaware River on the eastern
boundary. This line would have given to Virginia a large part of
what is now Fayette county, all of Greene county, and quite a portion
of Washington and of other counties to the north of it. Of course
Pennsylvania could not accept this offer, though during 1777 and 1778
negotiations were made through the Virginia delegates ; with such
little interest, however, that the papers became lost. [5]
December 18, 1778: Although Canada ceased to be a direct military target, it continued to play an important role as a haven for Loyalists and slaves fleeing from Patriots less concerned with other peoples' liberties than their own. On December 18, 1778, a force of New Jersey and New York Loyalists, The King's Orange Rangers, traveled to Liverpool, Nova Scotia, to help in its defense against Patriot privateers, privately owned ships that used pirate tactics to disrupt British shipping. The Rangers remained until August 23, 1783. Nova Scotia ultimately attracted 30,000 American Loyalists, one-tenth of which were fleeing African slaves. Of the slaves, one third eventually resettled in Sierra Leone. White Loyalists moved to Canada to flee the abuse of Patriot neighbors, African slaves came to British Canada in order to gain freedom from their Patriot owners.[6]
December 18, 1799: On this date in 1799, George Washington’s (grandnephew of the wife of the 1st cousin 10x removed) funeral was conducted in Masonic fashion, at Mount Vernon, Virginia[7]

By 1800, Jews owned less than 1 percent of the land around Pittsburgh.[13] In 1800, except for the highly successful Simon and Gratz families, most of Pennsylvania’s Jews were of humble economic means. They had come from small villages in Europe to small towns or cities in America, hoping to find greater economic security and religious freedom.[14]

In the year 1800, Zachariah Connell (brother in law of half 5th great grandaunt) and Isaac Meason (husband of the half 5th great grandaunt) were authorized by an act passed by the Legislature to build a toll bridge across the Youghiogheny. This was the first bridge across the river at Connellsville.[17]

Touching the manufacture of iron in Dunbar about 1800 by Isaac Meason it has been written: “The difficulties under which the ironmaster labored in those days were curious ones. Not only was he compelled to work with crude machinery and imperfect knowledge, but his efforts to realize on his labors were Herculean. The iron was run into numerous castings suitable for frontier life, or manufactured at small forges into the merchant iron of those days. These products were hauled in teams from fifteen to thirty miles across the country to Brownsville, on the Monongahela River, and there loaded into flat boats. These floated down the Ohio and Mississippi. The iron was exchanged for corn, pork, whisky, etc., which were carried on to New Orleans and traded for sugar and molasses. These latter commodities were sent around by sea to Baltimore, and in turn exchanged for groceries dry goods, etc., which loaded on Conestoga wagons, were hauled three hundred miles over the mountains to the furnaces whence the iron had started many months before.” An old furnaceman told that he once conducted business continuously for three years, and saw duing that time only ten dollars in money. Another curious phase of that early life was the insertion of a clause in all contracts for labor that a certain quantity of whisky was to be allowed each day in addition to wages. A stoppage of whisky rations was about the only cause in those days that would precipitate a labor strike.[20]
1800: By the turn of the century as many as 200 wagons were leaving the east every day. It was a dangerous and lonely life. People looked for spiritual direction. But there were few churches on the expanding frontier.[21]

Sheriff: 1806-1810, Champaign County, Ohio was Daniel McKinnon[28] (4th great grandfather).
1806
At a special election in 1806 to choose a Sheriff, Coroner and three Commissioners, the returns of Salem Township only are found, which consists of a single sheet of foolscap, folded in half and stitched, with the certificate of John Runyon, Associate Judge, at the top. Thirty-seven votes were polled. Jacob Minturn, Alexander Miller and William Hendricks were Judges, and David Vance and John Laffety, Clerks. Some of the names of the voters are spelled differently from the orhograpy of today, but this probably was due to the Clerk,. Salem then embraced the eastern half of what is now Champaign and Logan, and the list ov voters shows that their descendants are still among the efficient men of the sedction in which they lived. The names are in the follow ing order: John Runion, George Jameson, James Suit, Zikiel Davis, John Jameson, A bner Barret, Clark Miller, Joseph McLain, James Walker, Samuel Lafferty, Barton Minturn, Allen Minturn, Stephen Runion, John Clark, Joseph C. Vance, Jacob Minturn, David Vance, Matthew Stuard, Hiram M. Curry, William Dosen,, William McLain, William Hendrix, John Laffety, Archy McCaney, Joseph Sutton, Joseph Caffey, Paul Juston, Justes Jones, Abraham Jones, William Powell, Thomas M. Pendleton, David Parkison, Benjamin Springer, Daniel McKinnon, Daniel Jones, John Pierce, Ninion Nicols.
In 1806, Zane Township was formed and taken from the north end of Mad River and Salem Townships, and embraced very nearly the present county of Logan. It was named in honor Isaac Zane, who lived at the big Bottom on Mad River, near the present town of Zanesfield. When nine years old, he was taken prisoner by the Wyandots, and, having lived with them many years, married an Indian woman. By her he had a son, Isaac Zane, who lived at the same place, and four daughters, who married men of prominence in the county, and among the earliest settlers, named McCulloch, Armstrong, Long and Reed. Their grandchildren and descendants still live in Logan.[29]

1806: The Prophets fame grew even more in 1806 when he predicted an eclipse of the sun. William Henry Harrison, the governor of the Indiana Territory, feared the Prophet's growing number of followers. He dared the Prophet to prove his power by carrying out some miracle. The Prophet had his chance with the eclipse. Many scholars believe that his brother, Tecumseh, had learned of the eclipse from American scientists who had been coming to Ohio to view it. Tecumseh urged his brother to predict the eclipse. Tecumseh was trying to form a united front of Indian tribes west of the Appalachian Mountains. He believed that, if the natives worked together, they would be able to stop white encroachment onto the Indians' land. Tecumseh's Confederation became inextricably linked with his brother's religious movement. As one's position strengthened or weakened, so did that of the other.[34]

1806 - Benjamin Harrison, Sr. signed a Memorial at Ste. Genevieve, to the President of the United States, but he signed "with an Exception in favour of Col Hammond": Citizens of the Territory of Louisiana said they had learned with regret that a petition was in circulation in the Territory for the appointment of a person to succeed General Wilkinson as Governor, who they believed would not give satisfaction. Without intending to dictate, they wanted the President to know they had the fullest confidence in Col. Return J. Meigs, Jr. and Col. Samuel Hammond, either of whom, should they meet with the President's approval, etc. [35]
In 1806 two riders plodded into Northwest Ohio from Connellsville, Pennsylvania; one was an old woman, the other her grandnephew. After traveling nearly 200 miles on horseback they received final directions from some local Wyandot Indians and rode the last few miles to a location just south of Carey near Tymochtee Creek. Hanna Crawford was 84 years old.
Bitterly grieving the brutal death of her husband William for nearly 25 years, she had come with Billy to pay her final respects to the Revolutionary War hero who had been deprived even the comfort of a decent Christian burial. Reaching the site where his ashes lay she dismounted, and wept.[36]

"To reach the King of Prussia's palace, where the Emperor was to be lodged, we
(Guard Foot Chasseurs) followed the wide, magnificent Avenue of Linden trees
... The crowd gathered to see us pass was so great that one might have thought
the whole population of B e r l i n was assembled at this point to watch the
conquerors of their country go by ..." - Jean-Baptiste Barres, 1806
Foot Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard
The Old Guard, picture by Dmitrii Zgonnik.
There were quarels between the Old G u a r d and other troops.
During one of the ensuing brawls the men of 9th Light Infantry
were rewarded with rings around their eyes bearing a strong
resemblance to large goggles. [37] Ancestor Joseph LeClere(5th great grandfather) was said to have been one of Napolean’s Body Guards.
· The so-called Velites were formed from selected conscripts taken from infantry and from departamental reserve companies. In 1806 the height requirement was 168 cm (soon it was heightened to 173 cm). Napoleon writes, "Young men who volunteer, may enlist in the two fusilier regiments if they are strong and healthy and measure not less than 5'8" (173 cm)."
Allured by the splendid renown of Napoleon, dazzled by his numerous victories, young men flocked to the ranks of Velites. They were required to be young men of family. This was to obtain a certain amount of education and character. "Less than 18 % of the Velites came from civil service families (judiciary, administration). More striking still, only 1.5 % came from military backgrounds. ... The majority were classified as property holders - 46 % as land owners or rentiers, presumably well-off families that neither worked for a living nor exercised a public function, and a further 10 % in various branches of agriculture like wine-growing. Another 25 % came from commercial milieux, the liberal professions, and artisan families." (Blaufarb - "The French Army 1750-1820" pp 178-9)
Jean Barres was one of the young Velites, he writes, "Having had our descriptions recorded and heights taken we were distributed among the two corps of Velites, each according to his stature; 13 were admitted to the Grenadiers and 7, of whom I was one, to the Chasseurs. ... After a most painful night we got under arms at daybreak to march to the garden of the Tuileries. There each company of chasseurs (old soldiers) was augmented by a portion of the first detachment of Velites; they were ranked according to their stature, and we were told henceforth we were incorporated in these companies. I found myself in the 2nd Company of the II Battalion (of Foot Chasseurs). ... Before the billets were distributed each Velite was paired with an old chasseur. At first sight, and judging by the gruff tone of my companion I did not congratulate myself on the award of chance."
Thus during peacetime the regiment of foot grenadiers or chasseurs consisted of three battalions. Two battalions were made of veterans and one of young Velites. Before campaign however they merged and formed two larger field battalions.
In 1806 every battalion of line and light infantry were ordered to send 1 man to the Guard by 1 July.
The candidates must be:
· not older than 35
· strong and tall (5,10" for grenadiers and 5'8" for chasseurs),
· with 10 years service
· and a citation for bravery
It soon appeared that these conditions could not be fulfiled,
even by lowering the term of service to 6 years.[38]
1806: The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (German: Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation listen ▶ (help·info), Latin Sacrum Romanum Imperium Nationis Germanicae, see names and designations of the empire) was a political conglomeration of lands in Central Europe in the Middle Ages and the early modern period. Emerging from the eastern part of the Frankish realm after its division in the Treaty of Verdun (843), it lasted almost a millennium until its dissolution in 1806. [39]
December 1808: Ordered that Daniel McKinnon be allowed Eight Dollars and ninety cts for his Services done for the County from the first of December 1808 till February 1, 1809 Summoning the grandjury at January Term 1809.[40]
December 1810 According to the Decree issued in December 1810 each of the new regiments was to form an elite company of 200 men called corporal-voltigeurs (in voltigeurs battalions) and corporal-tirailleurs (in tirailleurs battalions). [41]
Joseph Leclere was said to have been one of Napoleon’s bodyguards.
December 18, 1812: Before dawn on December 18th the Indians counter attacked. The daylight seemed to favor the American marksmen and the Indian losses were heavy. When the Indians retired with their casualties the Americans buried their dead beneath the floor of the remaining hut and burned it. The Army then returned to Franklinton. [42]

The next teacher was Andrew Crawford. Mrs. Gentry says he began teaching in the neighborhood in the winter of 1822-3. Crawford 'kept school' in the same little schoolhouse which had been the scene of DorSey's labors, and the windows were still adorned with the greased leaves of old copybooks that had come down from Dorsey's time. Abe was now in his fifteenth year, and began to exhibit symptoms of gallantry toward the other sex. He was growing at a tremendous rate, and two years later attained his full height of six feet and four inches. He wore low shoes, buckskin breeches, linsey-woolsey shirt, and a cap made of the skin of a 'possum or a coon. The breeches clung close to his thighs and legs, and failed by a large space to meet the tops t»f his shoes. He would always come to school thus, good-humoredly and laughing. He was always in good health, never sick, had an excellent constitution and took care of it."
Crawford taught "manners" — a feature of backwoods education to which Dorsey had not aspired. Crawford had doubtless introduced it as a refinement which would put to shame the humble efforts of his predecessor. One of the scholars was required to retire, and then to re-enter the room as a polite' gentleman is supposed to enter a drawing-room. He was received at the door by another scholar and conducted from bench to bench until he had been introduced to all the young ladies and gentlemen in the room. Lincoln went through the ordeal countless times. If he took a serious view of the performance it must have put him to exquisite torture, for he was conscious that he was not a perfect type of manly beauty. If, however, it struck him as at all funny, it must have filled him with unspeakable mirth to be thus gravely led about, angular and gawky, under the eyes of the precise Crawford, to be introduced to the boys and girls of his acquaintance.
While in Crawford's school the lad wrote his first compositions. The exercise was not required by the teacher, but, as Nat Grigsby Has said, "he took it up on his own account." At first he wrote only short sentences against cruelty to animals", but at last came forward with a regular composition on the-subject. He was annoyed and pained by the conduct of the boys who were in the habit of catching terrapins and" putting coals of fire on their backs. "He would chide us," says Grigsby, "tell us it was wrong, and would write against it."
One who has had the privilege of looking over some of the boyish possessions of Lincoln says: "Among the most touching relics which I saw was an old copy-book in which, at the age of fourteen, Lincoln had taught himself to write and cipher. Scratched in his boyish hand on the first page were these lines:
Abraham Lincoln
his hand and pen.
he vrill be. good but
god knows When"
The boy's thirst for learning was not to be satisfied with the meagre knowledge furnished in the miserable schools he was able to attend at long intervals. His step-mother says: "He read diligently. He read everything he could lay his hands on, and when he came across a passage that struck him he would write it down on boards, if he had no paper, and keep it until he had got paper. Then he would copy it, look at *it, commit it to memory, and repeat it. He kept a scrap-book into which he copied everything which particularly pleased him." Mr. Arnold further states: "There were no libraries and but few books in the back settlements in which Lincoln lived. If by chance he heard of a book that he had not read he would walk miles to borrow it. Among other volumes borrowed from Crawford was Weems's Life of Washington. He read it with great earnestness. He took it to bed with him in the loft and read till his 'nubbin' of candle burned out. Then he placed the book between the logs of the cabin, that it might be near as soon as it was light enough in the morning to read. In the night a heavy rain came up and he awoke to find his book wet through and through. Drying it as well as he could, he went to Crawford and told him of the mishap. As he had no money to pay for the injured book, he offered to work out the value of it. Crawford fixed the price at three days' work, and the future President pulled corn for three days, thus becoming owner of the coveted volume." In addition to this, he was fortunate enough to get hold of JSsop's Fables, Pilgrim's Progress, and the lives of Benjamin Franklin and Henry Clay. He made these books his own by conning them over and over, copying the more impressive portions until they were firmly fixed in his memory. Commenting upon the value of this sort of mental training, Dr. Holland wisely remarks: "Those who have witnessed the dissipating effect of many books upon the minds of modern children do not find it hard to believe that Abraham Lincoln's poverty of books was the wealth of his life. The few he had did much to perfect the teaching which his mother had begun, and to form a character which for quaint simplicity, earnestness, truthfulness, and purity, has never been surpassed among the historic personages of the world."
It may well have been that Lincoln's lack of books and the means of learning, threw him upon his own resources and led him into those modes of thought, of quaint and apt illustration and logical reasoning, so peculiar to him. At any rate, it is certain that books can no more make a character like Lincoln than they can make a poet like Shakespeare.
"By books may Learning sometimes befall,
But Wisdom never by books at all,"— •
a saying peculiarly true of a man such as Lincoln.
A testimonial to the influence of this early reading upon his childish mind was given by Lincoln himself many years afterwards. While on his way to Washington to assume the duties of the Presidency he passed through Trenton, New Jersey, and in a speech made in the Senate Chamber at that place he said": "May I be pardoned if, upon this occasion, Lmention that away back in my childhood, in the earliest days of my being able to read, I got hold of a small book — such a one as few of the younger members have seen, Weems's Life of Washington. I remember all the accounts there given of the battle-fields and struggles for the liberties of the country; and none fixed themselves upon my imagination so deeply as. the struggle here at Trenton. The crossing of the river, the contest with the Hessians, the great hardships endured at that time, all fixed themselves in my memory more than any single Revolutionary event; and you all know, for you have all been boys, how these early impressions last longer than any others. I recollect thinking then, boy even though I was, that there must have been something more than common that these men struggled for. I am exceedingly anxious that that thing which they struggled for, that something even more than National Independence, that something that held out a great promise to all the people of the world for all time to'come, I am exceedingly anxious that this Union, the Constitution, and the liberties of the people, shall be perpetuated in accordance with the original idea for which that struggle was made."
Another incident in regard to the ruined volume which Lincoln had borrowed from Crawford is related by Mr. Lamon. "For a long time," he says, "there was one person in the neighborhood for whom Lincoln felt a decided dislike, and that was Josiah Crawford, who had made him pull fodder for three days to pay for Weems's Washington. On that score he was hurt and mad, and declared he would have revenge. But being a poor boy, a fact of which Crawford had already taken shameful advantage when he extorted three days' labor, Abe was glad to get work anywhere, and frequently hired out to his old adversary. His first business in Crawford's employ was daubing[49] the cabin, which was built of unhewn logs with the bark on. In the loft of this house, thus finished by his own hands, he slept for many weeks at a time. He spent his evenings as he did at home, — writing on wooden shovels or boards with 'a coal, or keel, from the branch.' This family was rich in the possession of several books, which Abe read through time and again, according to his usual custom. One of the books was the 'Kentucky Preceptor,' from which Mrs. Crawford insists that he'learned his school orations, speeches, and pieces to write.' She tells us also that 'Abe was a sensitive lad, never coming where he was not wanted'; that he always lifted his hat, and bowed, when he made his appearance; and that 'he was tender and kind,' like his sister, who was at the same time her maid-of-allwork. His pay was twenty-five cents a day; 'and when he missed time, he would not charge for it.' This latter remark of Mrs. Crawford reveals the fact that her husband was in the habit of docking Abe on his miserable wages whenever he happened to lose a few minutes from steady work. The time came, however, when Lincoln got his revenge for all this petty brutality. Crawford was as ugly as he was surly. His nose was a monstrosity — long and crooked, with a huge mis-shapen stub at the end, surmounted by a host of pimples, and the whole as blue as the usual state of Mr. Crawford's spirits. Upon this member Abe levelled his attacks, in rhyme, song, and chronicle; and though he could not reduce the nose he gave it a fame as wide as to the Wabash and the Ohio. It is not improbable that he learned the art of making the doggerel rhymes in which he celebrated Crawford's nose from the study of Crawford's own 'Kentucky Preceptor.'"[50]
1822-1823: Bro. Andrew Jackson, ancestor and President, was a member of Harmony Lodge, No. 1, located in Tennessee, and served as Grand Master of Masons in Tennessee from 1822-23.
Jackson was the first President to have running water in the White House. Interestingly enough, he also had twenty spittoons strategically placed throughout the East Room of the White House.
Jackson foughty in a number of duels, including one in 1806 in which h he shot and killed a man.
A man once called on the President to plead the case of a soldier who had lost his leg on the battlefield and who needed to retain a small postmastership in order to support his family. “But I must tell you” the man said frankly, “ that he voted against you.” Jackson replied, “ If he lost a leg fighting for his country, that is a vote enough for me.”
A clergyman called President Jackson several times pestering him for a Federal appointment. Jackson finally asked, “Are you not a Christian Minisater?” The man replied, “I am.” “Well,” Jackson said, “ if you discharge the duties of that office, which is better than any I can confer, you will have no time for any other.”[51]
December 1826 – Pathkiller was succeeded as principal chief by his assistant, Charles R. Hicks, for what was left of his term.[52]
1827
In the year 1827, Mr. (Saul) Henkle edited and published a religious paper called The Gospel Trumpet. He performed all the labor at his residence on High street. He also wrote some editorials for the Western Pioneer. [53]
1827
Abraham Baer Gottlober was taken to Tarnopol (now Ternopol), Galicia, by his father at the age of 17. In Galicia he came in contact with the Haskalah[54], of which he was a staunch advocate most of his life[55]
December 1831 – A delegation from the Cherokee Nation East, composed of John Ridge, Elias Boudinot, James Martin, and William Shorey Coody, arrives in Washington City to present Cherokee grievances against the State of Georgia.[56]
December 1831, Darwin joined the Beagle expedition as a geologist and naturalist. He read Charles Lyell's Principles of Geology and from the first stop ashore, at St. Jago, found Lyell's uniformitarianism a key to the geological history of landscapes. Darwin discovered fossils resembling huge armadillos, and noted the geographical distribution of modern species in hope of finding their "centre of creation".[18] The three Fuegian missionaries the expedition returned to Tierra del Fuego were friendly and civilised, yet to Darwin their relatives on the island seemed "miserable, degraded savages",[19] and he no longer saw an unbridgeable gap .
December 18, 1837: Mary Agnes STEPHENSON. (half 3rd cousin 5x removed) Born on June 12, 1839 in Missouri. Mary Agnes died in Howard County, Missouri on February 11, 1896; she was 56. Buried in Bethel Cemetery, Keytsville, Howard County, Missouri.

They had the following children:
22 i. Francis “Fannie” (1868-1949)
ii. Laura. Born in 1870. Laura died in 1873; she was 3. [57]
December 1838: Darwin had noted a similarity between the act of breeders selecting traits and a Malthusian Nature selecting among variants thrown up by "chance" so that "every part of newly acquired structure is fully practical and perfected".[27] [58]
Darwin had his basic theory of natural selection "by which to work" by December 1838. [59]
January 1831 – December 1832 – 907 Cherokee emigrate to the western lands in these two years. Most of these were in two parties, 347 in one and 422 in the other (including 127 slaves).[60]
December 1832
In response to South Carolina's nullification claim, Ancestor, Freemason, and President Andrew Jackson vowed to send troops to South Carolina to enforce the laws. In December 1832, he issued a resounding proclamation against the "nullifiers," stating that he considered "the power to annul a law of the United States, assumed by one State, incompatible with the existence of the Union, contradicted expressly by the letter of the Constitution, unauthorized by its spirit, inconsistent with every principle on which it was founded, and destructive of the great object for which it was formed." South Carolina, the President declared, stood on "the brink of insurrection and treason," and he appealed to the people of the state to reassert their allegiance to that Union for which their ancestors had fought. Jackson also denied the right of secession: "The Constitution... forms a government not a league... To say that any State may at pleasure secede from the Union is to say that the United States is not a nation."[61]
Palmerston was manoeuvred out of the cabinet in December 1853, but at about the same time a Russian fleet attacked the Ottoman fleet at anchor at Sinop. The London press depicted the attack as a criminal massacre, and Palmerston's popularity surged as Albert's fell.[76] Within two weeks, Palmerston was re-appointed as a minister. As public outrage at the Russian action continued, absurd rumours circulated that Albert had been arrested for treason.[77][62]
December 1844: Churchill had already been alarmed by The Lancet's report of numerous mistakes, and had been surprised to find that, unlike the medical specialists he usually dealt with, the author of Vestiges lacked first hand knowledge of the subject or the ability to correct proofs. At the author's request he had quoted for a people's edition, but was unwilling to proceed with this cheap reprint until errors had been corrected. Churchill engaged Lankester to make corrections to terminology to the second edition published in December 1844, and both Lankaster and George Fownes made further revisions for the third edition.[14][63]
December 1850: At the end of his second term Joseph Vance (compilers 2nd cousin, 7 times removed) retired to his farm in Urbana. Although he did not hold regular office again, he served as a delegate to the national Whig convention in Philadelphia in 1848 and as a representative of his district to the Ohio Constitutional Convention of 1850-1851. He took a leading part in the debates and was chairman of the committee on public institutions. On his way home from attending sessions of the convention in Cincinnati in December 1850, he suffered a stroke of paralysis and was forced to give up his duties. He died at his home near Urbana on August 24, 1852.[64]
December 1855: Lawrence was established in 1854 by anti-slavery settlers, many with the help of the New England Emigrant Aid Company, and soon became the center of pro-slavery violence in Kansas Territory. While the village had been besieged in December 1855, it was not directly attacked at that time.[65]

December 18, 1860
The Crittenden Compromise is proposed by Senator John J. Crittenden of Kentucky, in a last ditch effort to keep the Southern States from seceding.[67]
Crittenden introduced his resolutions on December 18, 1860; on December 22 they were defeated in committee; in the last hours of the session they were allowed to come to a vote in Congress and were defeated; in the Senated 20 to 19; in the House of Representatives 113 to 80. In the Senated not one affirmative vote was Republican, but every negative vote was Republican. In the House of Representatives the minority of 80 contained not one Republican, and 110 of the 113 negative votes were cast by Republicans. Cong. Globe.
December 1861: It was not until December of 1861 when one such raider, William Clarke Quantrell, formed the first organized guerrilla band in Missouri. Once an abolitionist, but now acting foremost for himself, he would often befriend runaway slaves and kidnap them back into Missouri, receiving a reward for his efforts. [68]

[54]Haskalah (Hebrew; “enlightenment”, “education” intellect”, “mind”. The Jewish Enlightenment, was a movement among European Jews in the late 18th century that advocated adopting enlightenment values, pressing for better integration into European society, and increasing education in secular studies, Hebrew language and Jewish history. Haskalah in this sense marked the beginning ofd the wider engagement of European Jews with the secular world, ultimatesly resulting in the first Jewish political movements and the struggle for Jewish emancipation. The division of Ashkenazi Jewry into religious movements or denonmantions especially in North America and Anglophone countries,k began historically as a reaction to Haskalah. In a more restricted sense, haskalah can also denote the study of Biblical Hebrew and of the poetical, scientific, and critical parts of Hebrew literature. The term is sometimes used to describe modern critical study of Jewish religious books, such as the Mishnah and Talmud, when used to differentiate these modern modes of study from the methos used by Orthodox Jews. wikipedia.org/wiki/Haskalah
