February 4, 362: Roman Emperor Julian promulgates an edict that recognizes equal rights to all the religions in the Roman Empire. Known as Julian the Apostate, Julian effectively undid the edicts of Constantine that had made Christianity the religion of the Roman Empire. He brought back the old religions of the Empire including those that were tied to Hellenism, the spiritual path that he favored. Julian was sympathetic to the Jewish people and was prepared to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. Unfortunately, he was murdered by a Christian Arab soldier who may have been angered by Julian’s decision to deny state support to Christianity.[1]
February 4, 1194: Richard the Lionheart (23rd great granduncle) bought his freedom by paying his ransom to Leopold, an Austrian Duke. In collecting the ransom, the Jews were forced to pay 5,000 marks. They were taxed at three times the rate as that paid by their Christian countrymen.[2]

The family's titles were forfeited after the victory of King Henry VII at Bosworth.[2]
Howard's first marriage was politically advantageous. On February 4, 1495 he married Anne (1475–1510), the fifth daughter of King Edward IV and the sister-in-law of King Henry VII. The couple had four children, none of whom survived to adulthood.[4]
Howard was an able soldier, and was often employed in military operations.[2][4]

JOHN IRWIN FOR COL. WILLIAM CRAWFORD35 (6th great grandfather)
IN TESTIMONY THEREOF, I John Irwin of Brust Hill, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania having served as Dy. Comm’y Gen. of Issues in the Western Department, of being constantly stationed at Fort Pitt the head of Said department, do certify that, I was intimately acquainted with the late Colonel William Crawford from the commencement of our Revolutionary War until his unfortunate expedition against the Indians, in which he lost his life. .. . that I find by old books now in my possession, he drew rations as a Colonel early in the year of 1777 from the Provision Stores at Fort Pitt & at several of the out Posts in the department.... That he was employed in an expedition under Col Broadhead against the hostile Indians up the Alleghany River.... Tha he either commanded or served in an expedition to the Muskingham River, in which it is said the Moravian Indians Suffered great loss & which was supposed to have been the cause of the tortures inflicted on him at the time of his death; and that he also served in another expedition of very great enterprise under General Clark, which was commonly called “The Western Expedition.”
This is but a brief sketch of his Public Services which fell under my own particular notice, because in all his various Expeditions & other services he generally signed the provision returnes for the troops or Corps which he Commanded.
But still I am not able to say with certainty, to what Regiment or Corps of the Army he belonged.... But I always considered him as Colonel in the Virginia Line of the Continental Army.
Witness my hand this February 4, 1820

I hope you will pardon the liberty I take in addressing you the following lines and if convenient let me hear from you in response at an early day-
You are aware that we have a convention in N. C. and it would aid our Cause (The Union) if indications of a settlement of this unfortunate difficulty are of such a character as we can claim them with Confidence & promise the masses of the people that this question is really to be settled on the Crittenden proposition or plan- he is a great favorite with all the Union men in N. C. Wi.. the Free States accept the? If so in this great emergency why do they hesitate longer? Will they wickedly persist in straining the Conservative element, until its cords are snap’t asunder- I hope not! You know the nature of the southern people is impulsive and sectional feeling contagious! North Carolina and especially Caldwell and Wilkes are deeply attached to the Union, as well as the larger section of the State I hope- as for my self I cant contemplate a dislution of this government without horror and indignation- and it is deeply humiliating (or ought to be) to any citizen of a Border State if they will allow these arrogant Cotton Obligarchys South of them to dragoon them into their service After all the Action of Virginia[33] will decide the fate of North Carolina if she (VA) goes out of the Union I fear N.C. must follow her very soon, therefore we look to the course and action of Va with great interest, and as far as I am concerned with serious misgivings- much very much depends upon the Republicans at this moment- if they are fatally bent upon mischief it must come and that soon.
Excuse his hastily written Scroll and accept the best wishes of your Cincere friend
Washington[34]
February 4, 1861
The Confederate States of America is formed in Montgomery, Alabama.[35]
The official record read: "Be it remembered that on the fourth day of February, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one, and in the Capitol of the State of Alabama, in the city of Montgomery, at the hour of noon, there assembled certain deputies and delegates from the several independent South State of North America..."
The first order of business was drafting a constitution. They used the U.S. Constitution as a model, and most of it was taken verbatim. It took just four days to hammer out a tentative document to govern the new nation. The president was limited to one six-year term. Unlike the U.S. Constitution, the word "slave" was used and the institution protected in all states and any territories to be added later. Importation of slaves was prohibited, as this would alienate European nations and would detract from the profitable "internal slave trade" in the South. Other components of the constitution were designed to enhance the power of the states--governmental money for internal improvements was banned and the president was given a line-item veto on appropriations bills.
The Congress then turned its attention to selecting a president. The delegates settled on Jefferson Davis, a West Point graduate who was the U.S. Secretary of War in the 1850s and a senator from Mississippi. [36]

His Excellency
Z.B. Vance
Governor of N. Carolina,
Raleigh, N.C.
Sir,
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 30th. Ult., accompanied by a copy of Resolutions passed by the legislature of your State, in reference to the procurement of machinery and wire for the manufacture of cotton and wool card; and in reply, beg leave to state that, in December last, pursuant to an act just previously passed by the General Assembly of this State, I purchased, on behalf of the State, a half interest in what was known as the “Pioneer Card Manufacturing Co.” then located at Carterville, Ga., at the price of $60,000. At the time of the purchase, the property of the Company consisted of one machine for setting the teeth of cotton cards and one for card clothing for factories-a lot of wire said to be enough to make some 12,000 pairs of cards, all of which, I believe, had been brought in from the United States, at considerable expense to the enterprising parties /who/ imported and transferred them to the persons of whom the State purchased. They also had a steam engine, and a small stock of leather and other materials necessary in the business of the Company.
The great object the State had in view in purchaseing an interest in the Company, was to get the imported machine to duplicate it, and by putting more machines inoperation, to be able, after time, to manufacture cards enough to supply, in a great measure, the wants of the people of our State, for that indispensable implement of domestic manufacture of cloth.
The machinery and stock of the Company have been removed to this city, and the manufacturing is now carried on in the State Armory buildins, which are located inside the Penitentiary walls. We have commenced to make ten new machines in the Stae Armory shops; but none of them are yet in successful operation. The old machine when in operation, turns out about 24 pairs of cotton cards per day, which we sell at $6. Per pair, for leather or skins suitable for making others- giving a perferance in making sales, to widows of deceased soldiers and wives of soldiers now in service We cannot yet approximate a supply enen to those classes of our people. The original stock of wire has not yet been exhausted; but our Master Armorer, (who is also Superintendent of the card manufactory,) says he can draw suitable wire in the Armory.
The State being only half owner of the card manufactory, and as all the manufacture enough cards to supply the wants of our own citizens to sell any of the machines would be considered unfair to the other part owners, and to our own people who have so much need of cards; yet I cannot permit the State to be even a partner in selfishness, and refuse to a sister State the privilege of inspecting, takeing the dimensions and making drawings of one of our machines, that whe might have others made; and though to grant this privilege may be viewed by the individual part owners, as derogatory to their interests, yet, if your State will send a competent mechanist here to inspect, take the dimensions and make drawings of our machines, he shall have every facility afforded him to accomplish that object. In this way I presume your State could have machines made in some machine shop within her own limits, or elsewhere in the Confederacy.
The machines are small, but quite complicated. A good machinist will, however, find no difficulty inmaking them. They require but little power to run them.
I REGRET THAT I DO NOT HAVE IT IN MY POWER TO DO MORE FOR YOUR NOBLE State in this regard. I shall at all times, however, be glad to five you any information in my power, and to render you any assistance which my obligations to the other partners in the Company, will allow.
I am, very respectfully,
Your Excellency’s obt. Servt.

Secty of War
Sir
Yours of the 30th Ulto. Asking what appointment have been made by the War Dept. which pertained to the Executive of this State and what regiments this power extended to and upon what grounds this claim of the Executive rested has been received.
I have the honor to enclose herewith a list of the regients which the Governor of this State claims to exercise the right of appointing officers in. This claim rests on the ground that these regiments were organized originally for the period of the War under a state law and the governor was required by that law to commission the officers and to cies therein. The remaining regiments from this State in Confederate service known as “Conscript regiments” were originally twelve months men and the appointments of these officers is given to the President by an act of the April 16th, 1862 and is conceded by the State authorities.
Permit me to remark that whilst there is no particular importance attached to the matter, yet the foregoing distinction has been so far observed by my predecessors and the War Dept. and a departure from it now could only created dissatisfaction and confusion.
The enclosed extract of a letter from Col. Avery 6th. N.C.T will give you a particular case, to which among others my former letter referred. The case of Lt. Col. Moore was not complained of, as I had thro’ a misapprehension recommended him myself.
Allow me to disclaim, Sir, most emphatically, an intention to charge you with a disposition to “trench upon my pregogrative:. I have seen no evidence of such intention in any part of the official intercourse I have had the honor to hold with you. My former letter was based upon the supposition that you were unacquainted with the staus of the troops from this stae in the matter ommissioning officers &c
I have the honor to be

My dear Sir
A Mr John Wilson a citizen of Bertie Co. writes that all communication between his county and the contiguous counties beyond the Chowan River has been forbidden by your order and that in consequence large supplies of pork, lard, &c are prevented from coming into our lines. He also states that Capt Newhart of the Cavalry, intrusted with the execution of your orders in that region, has seized some twelve or fifteen thousand pounds of meat, brought across the river by loyal citizens and confiscated to the use of the troops as lawful prize. If all this be not according to your orders permit me to request you to look into the matter and to see that no wrong is done to loyal citizens; and if done by your order, I hope you will pardon me for suggesting that no prohibition should be laid on the trade with loyal people across the river & Especially upon the getting our of all manner of provisions and Army supplies.
Supposing that the scope of your orders must be misapprehended and that you intended very properly only thesuppression of illegal traffick with the enemy, I am content merely to call your attention to the matter

Sir
Some six or eight weeks since I invited your attention to the importance of the Rail Road connection to be made by the Confederate Govt. under act of Congress between Danville Va and Greensboro N. C. and invoked you aid to command the slave labor requisist for its early completion. You then declined any impressment in this request under the conviction that with adequate energy on the part of the contractors a sufficient number of slaves might readily be obtained at not unreasonable rates. Will you excuse my again asking your attention to this subject and soliciting a reconxsideration of your decision. I am assured that every effort has been made and that rates exceeding in liberality current prices for hire have been freely offered without success in obtaining the required labor. Some impression has prevailed that slaves employed in this locality had peculiar facilities of excaping and hence the uunwillingness of their owners in Eastern Counties to hire them to the Contractors. Besides there is a general disinclination to hire servants to be employed on works of this character where large numbers are assembled. Serious delay must therefore occur iunless the aughority of your State can be exercised to provide an adequate number of slave labourers for the work. In consequence it is respectfully submitted to you to determine whether the importance of this work, does not justify, if it does not require such exercise of your authority. Full hire shall be paid and every care possible shall be taken to provide for the comfort and safety of the slaves.
In connection with the same subject allow me to ask your attention to a petition which, I understand has been presented to your legislature seeking such change in the charter of incorporation for the connecting road as will allow conformity of guage thoughout & prevent the necessity of break at Danville.
The importance of this in view of the usefulness of the road for military operations needs no comment, but in reference to the future advantage of the road to your State interest, I may be permitted to suggest that a break at Danvillecould only operate injuriously as, it would tend to make that place more decidedly a depot and a place of transfer. All considerations seem to recommend the proposed chang of charter and it would be grativying to this Department if you could concur in this view and lend your potent influence to induce the amendment.
With great esteem
Very respectfully Your s James A Seddon Secty of War[43]

February 4, 1902: Birthdate of Charles Lindbergh. Lindbergh is the famed “Lone Eagle,” the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic from New York to Paris. He was not the first to fly the Atlantic. That had already been done by " Lt. Cmdr. Albert Read and the crew of the flying boast NC-4 in May of 1919" and by two RAF pilots in the following month. Unfortunately, Lindbergh’s skill as an aviator surpassed his political aptitude. “As World War II began, Lindbergh became a prominent speaker in favor of non-intervention, going so far as to recommend that the United States negotiate a neutrality pact with Germany during his January 23, 1941 Charles Augustus Lindbergh testimony before Congress. At an America First rally in Des Moines, Iowa, on September 11, 1941, he made a speech titled "Who Are the War Agitators?" in which he claimed that Americans had solidly opposed entering the war when it began, and that three groups had been "pressing this country toward war" -- the Roosevelt Administration, the British, and the Jews, and complained about what he insisted was the Jews' "large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our government." He made clear however his opposition to anti-Semitism, stating that "All good men of conscience must condemn the treatment of the Jews in Germany", further advising "Instead of agitating for war, the Jewish groups in this country should be opposing it in every possible way for they will be among the first to feel its consequences. Tolerance is a virtue that depends upon peace and strength. History shows that it cannot survive war and devastation."[49]

February 4, 1961 JFK bans all trade with Cuba, depriving the Castro government of $35
million in annual income.
Drew Pearson, in his regular radio broadcast, reports the first major battle between Robert Kennedy and J. Edgar Hoover: “The new Attorney General wants to go all out against the underworld. To do so, Bobby Kennedy proposes a crack squad of racket busters, but Edgar Hoover objects. Hoover claims that a special crime bureau reflects on the FBI, and he is opposing his new boss.” [50]

February 4, 2013: The University of Leicester confirmed on February 4, 2013 that a skeleton found in the excavation was, beyond reasonable doubt, that of Richard III, (5th cousin 17x removed) based on a combination of evidence from radiocarbon dating, comparison with contemporary reports of his appearance, and a comparison of his mitochondrial DNA with two matrilineal descendants of Richard III's eldest sister, Anne of York.[4][5][6][53]
On February 4, 2013, the University of Leicester confirmed that the skeleton was beyond reasonable doubt that of King Richard III. This conclusion was based on mitochondrial DNA evidence,[97] soil analysis, and dental tests, as well as physical characteristics of the skeleton which are highly consistent with contemporary accounts of Richard's appearance. The team announced that the "arrowhead" discovered with the body was a Roman-era nail, probably disturbed when the body was first interred. However, there were numerous perimortem wounds on the body, and part of the skull had been sliced off with a bladed weapon;[98] this would have caused rapid death. The team concluded that it is unlikely that the king was wearing a helmet in his last moments. The Mayor of Leicester announced that the king's skeleton would be re-interred at Leicester Cathedral in early 2014, and by the same date a museum to Richard III will be opened in the Victorian school buildings next to the grave site.[5][97][99][54]
