February 8, 1548: The Scottish Lords, assembled at Stirling, determine to offer Mary (9th cousin 13x removed) in marriage to the Dauphin, and propose to send her to France, to be educated there at the court of Henry II. On the same day, the Earl of Arran is created Duke of Chatelherault by the King of France. [1]
February 8, 1570-71: Memorial addressed by Queen Mary to the Bishop of Ross. [2]
8th February, 1570-71.
I have received several dispatches these few days past, containing different letters and memorials, with which, both from their prolixity and length, and in order to spare the trouble and irksomeness of deciphering them, I have not wished to annoy you at present ; but only I have remarked some of them, adding thereto my opinion, which I send to you to ascertain the good advice and counsel of the said Duke of
Norfolk.
The treaty which is on foot between the Queen of England and me, seems agreeable to the queen-mother of the King of France, from exterior demonstrations. Which, being well considered, proceeds rather from their endeavour to excuse and exempt themselves from the assistance which I have demanded from them, than from any good -will that they may
have that it should take effect ; unless it is, perchance, to interrupt the course of the intrigues and secret communications which I have in this country, for fear that the affairs of my ambassador do not advance too much. The proposal of marriage between the Queen of England and Monsieur,*[3] to which the council of France lends an ear, in nothing serves for my advantage ; for, by these means, the Queen of England will divert all the forces, means, and assistance, which I might otherwise expect from France ; and the jealousy of what is proposed touching the league in the said agreement^[4] is the reason why they flatter and court the Queen of England, spinning out with her the overture of the marriage [with the duke] although they have not any hope of it.
Also the King of France approves of the marriage between me and the Duke of Norfolk, and to that they ascribe the extreme jealousy which they have of Don John of Austria ; and I am well informed that, if they thought that I was fully determined to take such a step, they would embrace [the cause of] my rebels [against me] . And so, in case that they should see hereafter matters in such train that there should be
no more hope with the said Don John, they would not fail to prevent, so far as they could, the marriage between the said duke and me ; which they seem so much to wish at present. The Duke of Alva has openly declared that he is of this opinion, that, in case the said treaty should be carried through, it would be to my ruin ; whereupon it may be surmised that, perhaps, he would wish the differences between the King
of Spain his master and the Queen of England to be settled in the first instance ; but it appears to me that it is not the main cause which induces him to wish the said treaty, but the delivery [of the person] of my son into the hands of the Queen of England, and to risk myself by returning into those of my [cruel] rebels, supported and assisted by the said queen in all their wickedness and mischief, who have taken from him the hope of restoring the Catholic religion, which is the only security of his master's kingdom [especially] in the Low
Countries.
All the advice which comes from beyond the sea tends to this end, to persuade me to seek means of escaping from this country. And, for the place of my retreat, they do not approve of my entering Scotland without troops, for, shutting myself up in any fortress, I should be in danger of remaining there without any assistance ; while my rebels would continue their usurped authority, and I might fall into the same difficulties which I have heretofore sustained, before I was succoured, and the place, by famine or otherwise, might be surrendered. In keeping the field by the favour of my good and loyal subjects, I should be forced to sustain a battle, the issue of which is uncertain, and might be hazardous for me ; for, besides that they might fear some treason, my rebels have in the country such assistance so ready at command, that their party might be the strongest before I could be assisted by the
other foreign troops. To retire to France, although I have there friends and revenues, the position which I hold, and the condition to which I am reduced, and also that in which the affairs of France are at present, dissuade me from it. For to think of obtaining assistance to carry me back and reinstate me in my kingdom, the aifairs which the king [of France] has in his own country, and the prospect of change
and new attachments, do not permit me to hope for anything good, even if the said king were willing to aid me ; and, in the meanwhile, the umbrage which the King of Spain would conceive, in seeing me take this part, would be a cause for alienating him from me, and thus I should remain deserted on all sides.
There remains, then, Spain, in which I might save myself and have assistance from the king ; a prince extremely compassionate, whose dominions are flourishing and in peace, from which one might derive many good means. With regard to Flanders, the negotiation would not be so well managed in my absence as by my personal presence. And,
therefore, they are of opinion that I should go direct to Spain, where I could see the king personally, treat and negotiate w^ith him, and obtain, promptly and without any delay, that which I could not for a long time do by messengers and ambassadors ; and as they allege that the good conscience and integrity of the said king might be a sufficient guarantee for the safety of my person, and of all which I shall grant to him, there is no reason to fear that he would desire to usurp anything in my dominions, and, to speak as I should truly, I
have much more expectation of being assisted on this side than on any other. Wherefore, be that as it may, it appears to me necessary that Ave should follow up this plan ; and, therefore, I am of opinion to send some man of repute to the King of Spain, whom he might trust, to inform him of the state of my kingdom, and of that also of my friends whom I have here, [and of j their determinations and means which
they have of setting to work, if the said King of Spain is willing to embrace their cause and mine. The late Queen of Spain, shortly before her death, sent me a very kind letter, which, as I believe, did not come without the consent and good pleasure of the king her husband,
by which she proposed the marriage of my son with one of her daughters ; and, further, that her said husband desired very anxiously to have my son in his hands to make him be educated and brought up in the Catholic religion. Also, on many hands I have been beset for the marriage with Don John of Austria, to which I think that the King of Spain
would readily wish that I should consent.
As to my son, it seems good to me, both for his safety and mine, that he should be for the space of some years in Spain, out of the dangers and perils which might happen during his infancy in this island. His absence would put a stop to the said troubles, because that my rebels would find themselves deprived of the cover and pretence which they have of his name. And, for the marriage of the said Don John of Austria, although that I have resolved to have nothing to do with it,
yet the King of Spain would not cease to aid me and embrace my cause, provided that he were certain that it were united to the Catholic religion, and that he with whom I should marry were willing to hold this same cause. And, although the said King of Spain should not have any will to it, yet he would be induced by the Pope to put his hand to the said cause, and for his sake to make use of his own means.
I think that Ridolfi could acquit himself of this commission secretly better than any person whom I know, and this under pretext of his business ; and, being known as he is, the King of Spain and the Poj^e would lend him an ear, and give credit to all that he pro]30sed. And also, by the means of the correspondence and memoirs which he will have of the state of this country and my kingdom, added to the instructions which he will receive from the Duke of Norfolk, he can easily reply to all the objections which will be made to him. He has sent me a memorial, in which he describes the persons who appear to him to be suitable for this business, without [considering it necessary to] nominate any one. And, for my part, I know not whom to choose from it but himself. The fear which they have imagined beyond sea that the Duke
of Norfolk w^ill always remain a Protestant, retards and hinders all his plans, and keeps them in suspense ; and causes my servants, who are thought to favour his designs, to be so suspected, that they do not wish to have any information of what shall be contrived. To remove this suspicion entirely, and settle the whole to the satisfaction of the said King of Spain and the Pope, I see no other means for it but
to assure them of the said Duke of Norfolk ; for this is the
difficulty of the case, and which it is necessary to solve, other-
wise we may expect no assistance from them, but, on the contrary, all the crossings and obstacles which they can effect by means of the Catholics of this country, in whom consists all the hope which I have for promoting this said marriage, which many dread on account of the said religion. This negotiation ought to be kept very private, and that
Kidolfi should take good care to make no appearance of the above in France, or even that he meddles in my affairs ; for the jealousy which exists between the Kings of France and Spain would be the cause of their leaving no stone unturned to hinder and break off all ; and, moreover, further advance the marriage of the Queen of England and Monsieur of Anjou, if the thing is to be, or that any result can proceed from it.
The season requires diligence and speed ; and therefore, if the said journey seems good to the Duke of Norfolk, my opinion is, that it should be sooner than later, and that no more time should be lost. But I leave the whole to the discretion of the said Duke of Norfolk, to prepare and cause him to set out when he shall think it proper.
On the margin: — Translated from the English language
into French, in April 1573.
[5][6]
February 8, 1582: The Duke of Anjou leaves Greenwich to return to Flanders. Elizabeth, with great part of her court, escorts him as far as Canterbury.
The duke embarks in an English ship of war, and sets sail, accompanied by Lord Howard, the Earl of Leicester, Lord Hunsdon, and many other English noblemen. [7]
February 8, 1587: Queen Mary herself went to trial at Fotheringhay Castle in Northamptonshire and denied her part in the plot, but her correspondence was the evidence; therefore, Mary was sentenced to death. Elizabeth signed her cousin's death warrant,[21] and on February 8 1587, in front of 300 witnesses, Mary, Queen of Scots, was executed by beheading.[8]
February 8, 1587: Mary was beheaded at Fotheringhay Castle, Northamptonshire.[99] After Mary's execution, Elizabeth claimed not to have ordered it and indeed most accounts have her telling Secretary Davidson, who brought her the warrant to sign, not to dispatch the warrant even though she had signed it. The sincerity of Elizabeth's remorse and her motives for telling Davidson not to execute the warrant have been called into question both by her contemporaries and later historians.[9]
February 8, 1587: On Wednesday, 8th February (the 18th of the new style), Mary was beheaded in the hall of Fotheringay castle; and Henry Talbot, son of the Earl of Shrewsbury, was instantly sent to convey the intelligence to Elizabeth. The queen feigned great surprise, and
manifested not only the most violent grief, but even sought to cast all the odium of the execution upon Davison, who nevertheless had only obeyed her orders. Elizabeth also imprisoned Davison, and never would consent to pardon him.
After the scaffold was taken down, Sir Amy as Panlet ordered Mary's testament to be read to Préau, her almoner, who for some time had again been kept apart from his mistress, and was not permitted to attend her in her last moments.
The same day, the body of the deceased queen was embalmed, and put into a leaden coffin, which remained for six months at Fotheringay castle, w^here all her servants were detained for the same period. [10]
February 8, 1587: After 19 years of imprisonment, Mary Queen of Scots is beheaded at Fotheringhay Castle in England for her complicity in a plot to murder Queen Elizabeth I.
In 1542, while just six days old, Mary ascended to the Scottish throne upon the death of her father, King James V. Her mother sent her to be raised in the French court, and in 1558 she married the French dauphin, who became King Francis II of France in 1559 but died the following year. After Francis' death, Mary returned to Scotland to assume her designated role as the country's monarch.
In 1565, she married her English cousin Lord Darnley in order to reinforce her claim of succession to the English throne after Elizabeth's death. In 1567, Darnley was mysteriously killed in an explosion at Kirk o' Field, and Mary's lover, the Earl of Bothwell, was the key suspect. Although Bothwell was acquitted of the charge, his marriage to Mary in the same year enraged the nobility. Mary brought an army against the nobles, but was defeated and imprisoned at Lochleven, Scotland, and forced to abdicate in favor of her son by Darnley, James.
In 1568, Mary escaped from captivity and raised a substantial army but was defeated and fled to England. Queen Elizabeth initially welcomed Mary but was soon forced to put her friend under house arrest after Mary became the focus of various English Catholic and Spanish plots to overthrow Elizabeth. Nineteen years later, in 1586, a major plot to murder Elizabeth was reported, and Mary was brought to trial. She was convicted for complicity and sentenced to death.
On February 8, 1587, Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded for treason. Her son, King James VI of Scotland, calmly accepted his mother's execution, and upon Queen Elizabeth's death in 1603 he became king of England, Scotland, and Ireland.[11]

February 8, 1725: Peter The Great, Russian Czar, passed away at the age of 52. Peter’s determination to keep the Jews out of his realm and his treatment of Russian Jews was not the picture of “enlightenment.” From the point of Jewish history he certainly was not the “Great.”[17] Several DNA matches indicate their earliest known ancestors are from Russia.
Friedrich Adam Julius von Wangenheim (February 8, 1749 Sonneborn - March 25, 1800 Gumbinnen) was a German botanist specializing in forestry, and was the citing authority for a number of described eastern North American plant species. He was also a Hessian soldier, and during his service in the thirteen colonies devoted his leisure time to botanical studies of American forests. When he returned to Prussia, he wrote up his research and strongly advocated importing suitable American species of trees and shrubs for use in German forests.
Biography
He received his education at Waltershausen, and in 1766 entered the service of the Duke of Coburg as lieutenant. He later entered the Prussian army and attained the rank of captain. He came to the United States in 1777 in the Hessian contingent in the British service, commanded a squadron of light cavalry in New York and Pennsylvania 1778-1783, and won a reputation for his successful raids. He participated in the battles of Brandywine and Charleston. On his return to Germany he was given the cross of the Hessian military order, and later re-entered the Prussian service.
While in North America, he had studied the natural history of the country, especially the trees and shrubs. In 1785, he wrote a memoir to the Berlin Academy showing the immense advantages that would be derived from the naturalization of several species of American trees. On request of the academy, he was then sent to Gumbinnen as director general of the waters and forests of eastern Prussia, where he carried on experiments on a large scale and planted a great number of American trees.
The standard author abbreviation Wangenh. is used to indicate this individual as the author when citing a botanical name.[1]

February 8, 1776: Governor Francis Legge reports to British headquarters in London that traitorous elements in Cumberland, Nova Scotia, have contacted American General George Washington.(grandnephew of the wife of the 1st cousin 10x removed) Washington received a letter from the Nova Scotians, in which they expressed their sympathy for the American cause, on February 8. They invited General Washington and the Continental Army to invade Nova Scotia at his earliest possible convenience.
Legge found himself in a precarious position. He had alienated many of his constituents through a zealous anti-corruption probe. Now he reported that Nova Scotia had spawned a nascent revolutionary movement. Some of those whom Legge accused of corruption in his drive to clean up colonial politics had allies in the imperial capitol who were insisting that he explain himself in person.
Fortunately for Legge, little notice was taken of his subjects' letter to Washington.
February 8th, 1780: The fleet received orders that no one should stray from his ship, and that we were to haul in the flatboats and to weigh anchor at the st cannon shot fired by the Roebuck.
In the forenoon of February 9th the fleet weighed anchor and set sail. Tord two o’clock in the afternoon the ships hove to off Trench Island25 to emble, and about four o’clock dropped anchor near this island. )n the morning of February 10th the fleet, consisting of some sixty sail, got ier way and set course NE along the coast. In the vicinity of the iary of the Port Royal River we found the warships Romulus and own cruising, since a number of American privateers and row galleys e stationed in this river. Toward evening anchor was cast near Hunt-Island. We were at latitude 31° 52’ north.
Early on the morning of February 11th the fleet set sail. The wind was so ~rable that about noon we reached the mouth of the North Edisto, toward evening the harbor, which forms a circular basin in which one hundred ships can ride at anchor. Although the mouth of this )or is so narrow that only two ships at a time can wind through the [bars, Captain Elphinstone guided the entire fleet through safely. We droped anchor near Simmons Island,26 the coastline of which surids a part of the basin.
Toward evening a signal was given to lower the flatboats in the water, to provide the troops with provisions for four days. At the same time her signal was given for the commanders of troops to go on board Roebuck, where the Commanding General issued the following orders disembarkation
FIRST DISEMBARKATION
English grenadiers and light infantry under General Leslie, with whom the Commanding General and Lord Cornwallis.
SECOND DISEMBARKATION -
Hessian grenadiers, the jäger detachment, and the 33d Regiment, were to perform the service of light infantry. The first was placed r General Kospoth and the last two under Brigadier Webster, a very Drious man.
THIRD DISEMBARKATION
The 7th and 23d regiments under Brigadier Clarke.27 The 63d, 64th, and the Hessian Garrison Regiment Huyn under General Huyn.
PART TWO
From the landing on Simmons Island up to the arrival on
James Island.
On the same evening, about ten o’clock, the beginning of the disembarkation was carried out in a strong wind. But since the weather grew constantly worse, no more than the first disembarkation and a part of the Hessian grenadiers could be put ashore. [19]

Concerning the expedition to the “Moravian towns “—known in history as “Williamson’s expedition,” from Col. David,Williamson, the one who commanded it — and the investigation which followed, only a brief account in this connection can be given.
Early in 1782, war parties committed sundry depredations upon the border. The first was the killing of John Fink, a young man, near Buchanan fort. The particulars are as follow: “On the 8th of February, 1782, while Henry Fink and his son John were engaged in sledding rails on their farm in the Buchanan settlement, several guns were simultaneously discharged at them, and before John had time to reply to his father’s inquiry whether he was hurt, another gun was fired and he fell lifeless. Having unlinked the chain which fastened the horse to the sled, the old man galloped briskly away. He reached his home in safety, and immediately moved his family to the fort.”—.[21]

February 8th 1827: John Vance (1st cousin 7x removed), 1754. (or 1746 according to his pension application). He was married in October 1773, by his uncle Col. Wm. Crawford in southwestern PA, to Nancy ?. John served in the Rev. war as a sargeant major and was wounded at Germantown. Both John and his wife recieved pensions for his REV war service (W. 6338). [23]John died February 8, 1827. The place of his death is uncertain from the pension file. Nancy filed for her widow's pension from Pendelton Co, not WVA. She died February 8, 1845. [24]

My Dearest Harriet,(wife of the 3rd cousin 6x removed)
You can well imagine the pleasure I felt on the reception and perusal of yours by James McDowell. I had expected most confidently, a letter by the mail on Wednesday night, and when I failed to get it I can assure you that I flet exceedingly uneasy. Next norning however I learned that James was in town and the thought at once struck me that he had a letter for me, & so it turned out. So “alls well that ends well.” I was indeed gratified to learn that you were better and in a fair way to recover: but I was chiefly rejoiced at the promise your letter contained in regard to taking better care of yourself at parties of that kind in future. The manner in which you expressd it too was indeed pleasing to me-“for your sake at least”, you say you will be more careful. Indeed Harriet, my Harriet (since you acknowledge my claim upon you) I thank you for the sweet promise, and hope in regard to that matter , you may think of me when tempted to break it and refrain. This is but fair since you conjure me to think of you when tempted to break the promise I have mad you—
How are you spending your time now? AS I told you before when with you, you must really calculate on a long time intervening before I see you again. I am sorry to say this but am compelled to do it. My time My Dearest One, is getting to be of greater value to me than formerly, and it stands me in hand to improve it, tho alas! I do not do it. For though my business be neither very pressing nor important yet I am never away from home two days at a time but some serious call for my presence is made. Under these circumstances you will see the necessity of my self denial and I hope you will imitate. This is partivularly unpleasant to me at this time as I enjoyed so little of you compamy when last over, and you were so much vexed at my leaving when I did. Nevertheless I shall go to see you at all hazards about the middle of march and of course if an opportunity should bresent itself sooner I will not fail to improve it. Meanwhile I shall be course write regularly once a week as here to fore.
Jim McD—has gone hard study I believe as I can see nothing of him in the streets, day or night. Indeed I am a fearful (how much?he will study himself blind but I hope for the best—I have not seen the Burke-Buncombe Ladies since thay bot home which was on Wednesday night, last. I hear that miss lou is unwell but I hope nothing serous, Last evening I spent in paying a visit to the ladies at Rose Hill, Miss Harriet (a-hem!). and Miss Ada are quite well and seem to me extremely pleasant not withstani you thnk them stiff. Have you received the Feb. No of the university Magazine? I think it extremely poor exepte one article. That I wrote myself and so course H don’t thing it poor. I mean calico-its wonders and misteries. Read it to morrow I start down into Madison county and shall be absent two or three days, We have heard nothing from Dr Lester since he left your village-He is happy however, where ever he may be, and that I’ll ensure. Write again soon, and believe me my Dearest Hattie to by now as ever, your very sincesre and devoted

February 8, 1862: Roanoke Island was an amphibious operation of the American Civil War, fought on February 7–8, 1862, in the North Carolina Sounds a short distance south of the Virginia border. On the second day the Union soldiers advanced but were stopped by an artillery battery and accompanying infantry in the center of the island. Although the Confederates thought that their line was safely anchored in impenetrable swamps, they were flanked on both sides and their soldiers were driven back to refuge in the forts. The forts were taken in reverse. With no way for his men to escape, Col. Shaw surrendered to avoid pointless bloodshed.
The Union forces occupied the island for the remainder of the war, and classified the slaves living there as contraband. More came to the island from the mainland. The Army developed a contraband camp into the Freedmen's Colony of Roanoke Island, an important experiment set up to become self-sustaining. By 1864, more than 2200 freedmen lived there, even though 150 had joined the United States Colored Troops from North Carolina. The American Missionary Association recruited teachers from the North to help educate the freedmen in reading and writing, which both children and adults were eager to learn.[30]

February 8, 1867: The Ausgleich results in the establishment of the Dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary. The Ausgleich refers to the compromise document that changed the Austrian Empire into the dual monarchy that put Hungary on level playing field with the previously dominate Germanic (Austrian) element of the Hapsburg Empire. The reform came about as a result of Austria’s defeat at the hands of Prussia. (Yes this gets complicated; but if you want to understand the fate of the Jews of Europe you have to understand European history.) Following the Law of Unintended consequences, The Ausgleich had a profound effect on the Jews living under the rule of the Habsburgs. “With the “Ausgleich” between Austria and Hungary in 1867, Jews finally gained full citizen rights. Vienna was now the city in the Habsburg Empire with the largest Jewish community (40,000 or 6.6 percent). Most of the Viennese Jews were of Bohemian, Moravian and Hungarian origin, while others were from the poor area of Galicia. Jewish communities in other parts of the Empire developed, even in cities that have not had any Jews for a long time, such as Salzburg (part of Austria since 1816).” Today we seem to have forgotten the prominent role that Vienna played in European and Jewish culture.[31]
February 8, 1887 – The Dawes Act breaks up the tribal land base of the Indians in Indian Territory, and assigned it to separate households in individual allotments; the US government declared the remainder as "surplus" and sold it to European-American settlers.[32]
February 8, 1910: The American version of the Boy Scouts has it origins in an event that occurred in London in 1909. Chicago publisher William Boyce was lost in the fog when a Boy Scout came to his aid. After guiding Boyce to his destination, the boy refused a tip, explaining that as a Boy Scout he would not accept payment for doing a good deed. This anonymous gesture inspired Boyce to organize several regional U.S. youth organizations, specifically the Woodcraft Indians and the Sons of Daniel Boone, into the Boy Scouts of America. Incorporated on February 8, 1910, the movement soon spread throughout the country. In 1912, Juliette Gordon Low founded the Girl Scouts of America in Savannah, Georgia.
In 1916, Baden-Powell organized the Wolf Cubs, which caught on as the Cub Scouts in the United States, for boys under the age of 11. Four years later, the first international Boy Scout Jamboree was held in London, and Baden-Powell was acclaimed Chief Scout of the world. He died in 1941.[33] Robert Baden-Powell was a Freemason. The compiler was an Eagle Scout and is also a Freemason.
On February 8, 1915, D.W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation, a landmark film in the history of cinema, premieres at Clune's Auditorium in Los Angeles. The silent film was America's first feature-length motion picture and a box-office smash, and during its unprecedented three hours Griffith popularized countless filmmaking techniques that remain central to the art today. However, because of its explicit racism, Birth of a Nation is also regarded as one of the most offensive films ever made. Actually titled The Clansman for its first month of release, the film provides a highly subjective history of the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan. Studied today as a masterpiece of political propaganda, Birth of a Nation caused riots in several cities and was banned in others but was seen by millions.
David Wark Griffith was born in La Grange, Kentucky, in 1875, the son of an ex-Confederate colonel. His father died when he was seven, and he later dropped out of high school to help support his family. After holding various jobs, he began a successful career as a theater actor. He wrote several plays and, on the advice of a colleague, sent some scenarios for one-reel films to the Edison Film Company and the Biograph Company. In 1908, he was hired as an actor and writer for the Biograph studio and soon was promoted to a position as director.
Between 1908 and 1913, Griffith made more than 400 short films for Biograph. With the assistance of his talented cinematographer, G W. "Billy" Bitzer, he invented or refined such important cinematic techniques as the close-up, the scenic long shot, the moving-camera shot, and the fade-in and fade-out. His contributions to the art of editing during this period include the flashback and parallel editing, in which two or more separate scenes are intermixed to give the impression that the separate actions are happening simultaneously. He also raised the standard on movie acting, initiating scene rehearsals before shooting and assembling a stock company of film professionals. Many of these actors, including Lillian and Dorothy Gish, Mary Pickford, Mae Marsh, and Lionel Barrymore, went on to become some of Hollywood's first movie stars.
Taking his cue from the longer spectacle films produced in Italy, in 1913 Griffith produced Judith of Bethulia, a biblical adaptation that, at four reels, was close to an hour long. It was his last Biograph film. Two years later, he released his epic 10-reel masterpiece, Birth of a Nation, for Mutual Films.
Birth of a Nation, based on Thomas Dixon's novel The Clansman, tells the turbulent story of American history in the 1860s, as it followed the fictional lives of two families from the North and the South. Throughout its three hours, African Americans are portrayed as brutish, lazy, morally degenerate, and dangerous. In the film's climax, the Ku Klux Klan rises up to save the South from the Reconstruction Era-prominence of African Americans in Southern public life.
Riots and protests broke out at screenings of Birth of a Nation in a number of Northern cities, and the recently formed National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) embarked on a major campaign to have the film banned. It eventually was censored in several cities, and Griffith agreed to change or cut out some of the film's especially offensive scenes.
Nevertheless, millions of people happily paid to witness the spectacle of Birth of a Nation, which featured a cast of more 10,000 people and a dramatic story line far more sophisticated than anything released to that date. For all the gross historical inaccuracies, certain scenes, such as meetings of Congress, Civil War battles, and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, were meticulously recreated, lending the film an air of legitimacy that made it so effective as propaganda.
The Ku Klux Klan, suppressed by the federal government in the 1870s, was refounded in Georgia in December 1915 by William J. Simmons. In addition to being anti-black, the new Klan was anti-Catholic, anti-Semitic, and anti-immigrant, and by the early 1920s it had spread throughout the North as well as the South. At the peak of its strength in 1924, membership in the KKK is estimated to have been as high as three million. There is no doubt that Birth of a Nation played no small part in winning wide public acceptance for an organization that was originally founded as an anti-black and anti-federal terrorist group.
Of Griffith's later films, Intolerance (1916) is the most important. Hailed by many as the finest achievement of the silent-film era, it pursues four story lines simultaneously, which cumulatively act to prove humanity's propensity for persecution. Some regard it as an effort at atonement by Griffith for Birth of a Nation, while others believe he meant it as an answer to those who persecuted him for his political views. Intolerance was a commercial failure but had a significant influence on the development of film art.
Griffith went on to make 27 more films. In 1919, he founded United Artists with Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, and Charlie Chaplin.
Before D. W. Griffith's time, motion pictures were short, uninspiring, and poorly produced, acted, and edited. Under his guidance, filmmaking became an art form. Despite the harm his Birth of a Nation inflicted on African Americans, he will forever be regarded as the father of cinema.[34]

Obituary
PASSED AWAY AT RIPE OLD AGE
Wm. H. Goodlove, Another Old Soldier and Settler, Died January 18.
Wm. H. Goodlove, an old settler and acquaintances are many, died Monday evening about 9 o'clock. The news of his death came as a shock to many. He had been sick with the grip but was recovering when he was overcome by heart failure and passed peacefully away.
A Sketch of his Life.
The hand on the dial of life had entered into the section which marked the eightieth year of Wm. Goodlove, who came to the home of Corad and Catherine Goodlove, October 22, 1836 in Clark county, H. He helped to make merry the play life of the two brothers and three sisters and one half brother, who had already come into that home. One by one these play mates of childhood days, exept one sister, Mary A. Davis of Columbus, O. who has reached the mark of 87 years, have preceeded the deceased into the other room of the many mansioned home.
The first sixteen yers of his life were spent romping over the familiar spots in his native state.
In company with his father and step-mother he came to West Union, Fayette county, Iowa, at the age of sixteen. Only a year were they at that point when they removed to wild Cat Grove near Marion, in 1853. At the time of his mjerity he took for a life companion Miss Esther J. Winans, Nov. 5, 1857. But this life companionship was not to continue long, for during the seventh year of their wedded life and while he was serving his country as one of her bravest and best, she was called to the endless life. He alone survived her. In 1862 Mr. Goodlove put his life on his country's altar and enlisted in Co. 24, Iowa Infanty. Here as a private soldier he put his ....his duties a s a true patriot, which terminated in a broken health. About.... the close of the war he sought the hand and heart of Sarah C. Pyle, and on June 20,. 1866 in Hastings, Minn. they plighted their faith to each other. To make glad their home six children came Netti, Oscar, Willis, Cora, Earl and Jessie. The first to break the ties of this happy group was Nettie, who had married Mr. Gray of San Antonio. Te., when she departed this life, in September, 1911.
This coming June would have been the 50th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Goodlove. At Wild Cat Grove the family made their home untill 1869 when they moved to a farm a few miles south of Central City where they lived for four and forty years.
Scarcely four years have slipped away since the deceased and his beloved companion came to make Central City their home. They brought their church letters with them and united with the Methodist church by transfer from the Prairie Chapel organization.
When a young man Mr. Goodlove experienced a conversion and gave his sincere and earnest efforts to the work of the church which he loved and to which he was faithful till death called him to a higher service. January 17, 1916. For several weeks past he has been grappling with a disease which he was unable to combat. He fought a good fight, and has gained the crown laid up for those who love the Lord.
His service to his country in the Civil War endeared him to the boys in Blue, and this fellowship which remained till the last was shown by his loyalty to the Marvin Mills Post of which he was a member.
Mr. Goodlove's christian profession was exemplified in his daily life. He was a true companion to his help mate who was the recipient of his thoughtful and unselfish kindness. His children have the joy and blessing of a loving father to linger with them.
He leaves to glory over his victorious life a faithful wife, five children, 20 grandchildren, two great grandchildren, and a host of good friends.
The service was held at the M.E. church Wednesday afternoon in Central City in charge of a former past, Rev. Chas E...
Burial took place at Jordan Grove cemetery.[39]

February 8, 1936: James Marion Patterson (6th cousin 5x removed) (b. November 23, 1867 in GA / d. February 8, 1936).[41]
February 8, 1940: The establishment of a ghetto in Lodz is ordered.[42]
February 8, 1942: Much to the disappointment of the Nazis only 359 Jews (137 women) from the Kovno ghetto arrived in Riga. The German Civil Administration in Lithuania had originally requested 1,000 male Jews.[43]
February 8, 1442: The first transport of Jews from Salonika is sent to Auschwitz. [44]
February 8, 1949: Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty, the highest Catholic official in Hungary, is convicted of treason and sentenced to life imprisonment by the Communist People's Court. Outraged observers in Western Europe and the United States condemned both the trial and Mindszenty's conviction as "perversions" and "lynchings."
Mindszenty was no stranger to political persecution. During World War II, Hungary's fascist government arrested him for his speeches denouncing the oppression of Jews in the nation. After the war, as a communist regime took power in Hungary, he continued his political work, decrying the political oppression and lack of religious freedom in his nation. In 1948, the Hungarian government arrested the cardinal. Mindszenty, several other Catholic Church officials, a journalist, a professor, and a member of the Hungarian royal family were all found guilty of various crimes during a brief trial before the Communist People's Court in Budapest. Most had been charged with treason, trying to overthrow the Hungarian government, and speculation in foreign currency (illegally sending money out of the country). All but Mindszenty received prison sentences ranging from a few years to life.
Mindszenty was the focus of the trial. During the proceedings, the prosecutors produced several documents implicating Mindszenty in antigovernment activities. The Cardinal admitted that he was "guilty in principle and in detail of most of the accusations made," but he vigorously denied that his activities were designed to overthrow the Hungarian government. Nevertheless, he was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment.
The reaction to Mindszenty's conviction was swift and indignant. British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin declared that the trial was an affront to Britain's understanding of liberty and justice. The Vatican issued a statement proclaiming that the Cardinal was "morally and civilly innocent." In the United States, Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn (Democrat-Texas) stated that the "Christian world cannot help but be shocked over the verdict." Protests were held in a number of U.S. cities, but the protests did not change the verdict.
The case was significant in demonstrating the depth of the anticommunist movement in Hungary. In 1956, Mindszenty was released when a reformist government took power in Hungary. Shortly thereafter, Soviet troops entered Hungary to put down anticommunist protests. Mindszenty took refuge in the U.S. embassy in Budapest and stayed inside the embassy grounds until 1971. That year he was recalled by the Vatican and settled in Vienna, where he died in 1975.[45]
