April 15, 69: - Battle at Bedriacum, North-Italy. [1]
Beginning of April 1574: The conspiracy of La Molle and Coconas is discovered ; and the Duke d'Alençon, and Henry, King of Navarre, accused of a desire to rejoin the malcontents of La Rochelle, are arrested. On hearing this, the Protestants again take up arms. [2]
April 1575: Marshals Montmorency and Cossé are liberated from the Bastille, and Henry III pronounces them innocent. [3]
April 1576: The Earl of Bothwell dies at Malmœ, where he was kept prisoner by the King of Denmark. It was at that time rumoured that he had left a will, in which he acquitted the Queen of Scotland of all
participation in the murder of Darnley.^ [4]
April 15, 1583: Father Holt^ a Jesuit, who had come from Flanders, having been arrested at Leith, Elizabeth gives instant orders to Sir Robert Bowes to insist that he shall be put to the torture, in order to
extort from him the secret of the correspondence and plans of the Catholics in England. [5]
April 15, 1677: Today The City Council of Lubeck, Germany decreed that no Jew should be permitted to stay in the city overṇight without the express permission of the senate, which was rarely given.[6]
April 15, 1715: The Yamassee Indians attack and kill several hundred Carolina settlers.[7] The Yamasee War, a two year conflict in which Native Americans tried to drive the colonial settlers out of South Carolina, began today. [8] 1715–1717 – The time of the Yamasee War, in which the Cherokee began as allies of the various Indian groups (primarily the Yamasee, Catawba, and Lower Muscogee), in attacking South Carolina colonists. They switched sides and contributed to the defeat of their former allies.[9] At the outbreak of the war Jews had already begun settling in the colony. The original constitution of South Carolina which had been written by John Locke in 1669 granted liberty to “Jews, Heathens and Dissenters.” Simon Valentine is the first Jewish settler whose presence can be officially confirmed. A resident of Charleston, he served as an interpreter for Governor Archdale. There must have been more Jews living there since “as early as 1703 protest was raised against "Jew strangers" voting in the election of members to the Common House of Assembly.”[10]
April 15, 1746
In the following year, after the disastrous retreat in the depths of winter, the victory of Falkirk, and the rout of the Scoto-English of winter, the victory of Falkirk, and the rout of the Scoto-English army at Moy, Lord George Murray assembled the principal officers of the army, amongst whom is mentioned the chief of MacKinnon, at Tain, on 15th of April, in presence of the Prince, and decided upon those operations which terminated in the fatal field of Culloden. ‘
After the battle, some 1,200 fugitives, amongst whom were the Mackinnons directed the the talen and animated b the spirit, of Lord George Murray, retreated in fair order to Ruthven.
We now come to the most interesting feature of the whose campaign, the wanderings of Prince Charlie for five months amidst the wilds of the Highlands, until he finally effected his escape to France to the eternal credit of those faithful adherents of the Stuart cause be it said that although a reward of 30,000 pounds was set upon the head of the Prince, and although his places of concealment were known to between two hundred and three hundred poor peasants during the vicissitudes of his wanderings, not one was found base enough to betray his trust. The MacKinnons, I am proud to record, bore a prominent part in the arrangements for his escape as soon as he reached the confines of their country.
Malcolm Macleod took the Prince, at his own request, Ellagol, near Kilmaree, in MacKinnon’s country. As day dawned they met two of the MacKinnon clan who had been engaged in the insurrection.
Malcolm now conducted the Prince to the house of his brother in law, John MacKinnon, who had served as a captain in the Highland army. MacKinnon, who had served as a cap[tain in the Highland army. MacKinnon happened not to be at home, but the travelers were warmly received by his wife, Charles being passed off as a certain Lewie Caw, the son of a surgeon in Crieff who had been engaged in the Rising, and was now known to be lying perdu among his relations in Skye. Mrs MacKinnon expressed much concern at the condition of her brother Malcom’s companion, and observed that she saw something very uncommon ahout him (as Lewie Caw). “Poor man,” she said, “I pity him; at the same time my heart warms to a man of his appearance.” That night, while Mrs Mackinnon (who had now been taken into confidence) kept watch on the top of a neighbouring hill, Charles, instead of resting, was found by Malcolm, on awaking, seated in the next room dandling and singing to Mrs Mackinnon;s infant, with an old woman looking on. “Who knows,” said Charles, “but the little fellow may be a captain in my service yet?” “You mean,” indignantly replied the old woman, who was not in the secret, “that you may possibly be an old sergeant in his company!”
Both Malcolm and the Prince were anxious that the Laird of MacKinnon should not know the secret, because, “though he be a mighty, honesty, stout, good man,” yet through his old age and the infirmities attending it, they thought he was not so well cut out for the difficulties of the Prince’s present situation. Malcolm, however soon yielded to the contrary opinion expressed by John MacKinnon, who, in the meantime, had returned home; but the Prince, ever suspicious of his best friends as he was ever confident in his worst, took a great deal of persuasion, both from John and Malcolm, before he would yield himself entirely to old MacKinnon, who, Malcolm said, would be very careful of him and exceeding true and firm to his trust.
In the course of the day, however, the old chief of MacKinnon was informed that the Prine was in his neighbourhood. At once he hastened to pay his respect. Mackinnon recommended Charles to proceed to the mainland under his guidance that very night, as the militia scouts were especially active in his country of Strath, and every moment was of importance. Charles and his companions landed at 4 a.m. near a place called Little Mallack, o the southern side of Loch Nevis. But the change was not for the better. The militia were quartered in the immediate neighbourhood, and it thus became most dangerous for the Prince and his friends to attempt to penetrate into the interior. For three days they remained at the spot where they had first landed, without fire or shelter, not daring to move. On the fourth day, they entered their boat, and coasted along the broken shores of Loch Nevis, in the hope of finding some cave which would protect them from the inclemency of the weather.
Steering round one of the petty promontories of the Lock, they against a boat moored to a rock, and the next moment saw five men standing on the shore whose
Bonnets, marked with a red cross, proclaimed them to belong to the militia. Charles was fortunately lying at the bottom of the boat taking his rest, with the plaid of MacKinnon thrown over him. They hesitated for a moment on their oars, and were almost immediately perceived. “Where do you come from?” Cried the militia men. “From Sleat,” answered MacKinnon; and no sooner was the word given than the watermen settled down to their work, and rowed rapidly along the Loch. But the militia men were not to be thus cheated. Like lightning they leaped into their boat, cast loose the painter, and in another minute were in full chase. For the first fifteen minutes the pursuit was keen and they perceptibly gained on the fugitives; but, nothing daunted, the oarsmen of the Prince bent bravely to their oars, and their superior skill began at length to tell, so that before another fifteen minutes had elapsed, they had the satisfaction of finding themselves draw gradually and then rapidly away, and coming to a part of the Loch where the firs and underwood grew thick down to the water’s edge, they shot their boat into the covert and hid themselves from the foe. Charles landed and ran up a hill from whence he perceived the discomfited milita men returning from their fruitless pursuit.
Escorted by the MacKinnons, Charles now made his way towards Borrodaile, the seat of Angus MacDonald. Here, as the aid of his two faithful friends was now superfluous, and as it was unwise to accumulate in large numbers lest the attention of the enemy be attracted, the Prince bade them farewell, and placed himself unreservedly in the hands of his new protector. On the very next day, July 18th, however, the news of the capture of MacKinnon reached him, and Donald Cameron of Glenpean removed him from Borrodaile for greater secutity and took him to the braes of Glenmoriston and Strathglass, a few miles further eastward, where the famous “Seven men of Glenoriston,” Patrick Grant, John and Alexander Macdonell, Alexander, Donald and Hugh Chisholm, and Grigor Macgregor, preserved him in an inaccessible cave for three weeks till he joined Cameron of Lochiel and MacPherson of Clunyu at the “Cage” on Mount Benalder in the wilds of Badenoch; and with them, young Clanranald, John Roy Stuart, other chieftains, and one hundred and seven common men, embarked in Loch Nanuagh on board a French man-of-war which, with another, was sent expressly for his deliverance.
The chief of MacKinnon was taken prisoner in MacKonald of Morar’s house the day after parting with Charles. For a year he was a prisoner at Tilbury Fort and in the Tower of London, and was one among eighty principal Highlanders who had been attainted and were excepted from the act of indemnity passed in June 1747. On being tried for his life, however, at the close of that year, he obtained a pardon, in consideration of his advanced years and of the spirit of chivalry rather than of rebellion which he evinced, and Sir Dudley Ryder, the Attorney General, pronounced his release. As he was about to leave the court the Judge called him back, saying, “Tell me, if Prince Charles were again in your power, what would you do?” The stout old Highlander replied, with very marked emphasis, “I would do to the Prince as you have done this day to me. I would send him back to his own country.”
The death of the old chief was thus noticed in the journals of the time: “May 7, 1756. Died at his house of Kilmorie, in the Isle of Skye, John MacKinnon of that ilk, i.e. the old Laird of MacKinnon, in 75th year of his age, leaving issue two sons and a daughter, all born after 71st year of his age.”
For the remainder of the century, few events in connection with the family are chronicled; the little property left to them in Skye was purchased in 1765 by the Trustees of the great and good Sir James MacDonald then a minor, from the Trustees of MacKinnon of MacKinnon when a minor also.[11]
Culloden, Battle of. When the reader views passages concerning Hugh Mercer, James Wolfe, the Duke of Cumberland, and others, "Culloden" is often mentioned. This battle took place in the north of Scotland (near Inverness) April 16, 1746. 5,000 Highlanders under Prince Charles Edward Stuart("Bonnie Prince Charlie") fought 9,000 British troops under the Duke of Cumberland. The battle was a disaster for the Prince and his Highlanders with 1,000 killed and another 1,000 taken prisoner. The Duke lost 50 killed and perhaps 200 wounded. The Highlanders were largely Gaelic-speaking Scots and were without the support of the largely English-speaking Lowlander Scots. Prince Charles Edward (1720-1788) was the last of the Stuarts to attempt a return to the English throne. He was the grandson of King James II of England; born in Rome, lived in France, Catholic, Prince of Wales, supported by France—but abandoned when he really needed them. Highlander clans (Macdonalds, Gordons, Mackintoshes, Campbells, Monroes, Macleods, etc.) split-up on religious bases, i.e., Catholic or Episcopalian or Presbyterian, etc. Whatever debacle the Battle of Culloden was for the losers, the twenty-five year old Duke of Cumberland came out the clear winner. Supporters of James II and his descendants are referred to as "Jacobites." (The latinized version of "James" is "Jacobus" or "Jacobaeus," thus "Jacobites.")[12]
April 15, 1752: Finley, Samuel. General Samuel Finley had a varied career. He was born April 15, 1752. He was educated by his uncle, Dr. Samuel Finley, who was a Presbyterian minister, born in Ireland. He taught an academy at Nottingham, Maryland, until 1765, when he was elected President of Princeton College. He died in 1766, when his nephew, Samuel, was only fourteen. At the time of the Revolution Samuel Finley was a clerk in a store in Martinsburg kept by Capt. Charles Morrow. In 1775 Finley enlisted as a sergeant in Capt. H. Stephenson's company. In 1776 he re-enlisted as first lieutenant in Captain Shepherd's company. On the fatal day of the battle around Fort Washington, often called the battle of King's Bridge, Finley commanded Captain Shepherd's company. He was taken prisoner and confined on Long Island for four years. He was exchanged in November 1780, with Capt. Henry Bedinger, Capt. Nat. Pendleton and others. These three young officers purchased a horse on which they rode, alternately, back to Virginia. Afterwards he served in a cavalry regiment, and rose to the rank of major. After the war he moved to Chillicothe, Ohio, where he had a great deal of property. He was paid for his services by land in Ohio. In the war of 1812 he commanded a troop of horse against the Indians of the border. He died in Philadelphia, April 2, 1829. …[13]
Flagg, Josiah. Was third sergeant in Capt. H. Stephenson's company. The Flaggs are very old settlers in the Valley. Flagg's Mill was at the mouth of Tuscarora, where it flows into the Potomac, about two miles from Martinsburg. [14]
April 15, 1756: Capt John Ashby wrote from his fort (April 15) that 400 Indians had demanded full surrender of his fort; 1500 had gone to Fort Cumberland and 2000 to the Juniata. The letter, an extract of which is printed in Hamilton’s Letters to Washington, vol. 1. p. 221, was written to Col. Henry Van Meter..[15] [16]
April 15, 1771, Maj. William Crawford sent a letter to George Washington via his nephew Moses.
No. 7.—CRAWFORD TO Washington.
SPRING GARDEN, April 15, 1771.
SIR :—I received yours of March 11th, and I am much surprised at Mr. Brooks’ behavior in regard to that land.
He never had the least claim or pretensions to the Meadows that I ever heard of. Mr. Harrison made use of the name Of “Wm. Brooks,” expecting that Wm. Brooks, his son-in-law, would do him the favor to give him an assignment at any time; but, as Mr. Harrison has got a permit, there was no occasion for an assignment, or for an order of survey; for any surveyor would have surveyed the land on the permit and returned it into the office, which would have been accepted, while any order of survey that he could have got would not do. Inclosed you have a bond from Mr. Harrison for settling the matter and making good the title. He says if you want it done, it shall be returned in your own name as soon as the survey is completed. He will settle all disputes in regard to it.
There is one William Brooks here who has agreed to sign the bill of sale, which is sufficient; as any man of that name will do as well as he, he having no claim or right more than any other man of that name. Mr. Harrison says it is all he can do at present. Anything more that is requested he will do if required; and if not, the bargain niust be void, and he have his papers again; as he can sell it immediately to several people who will pay no regard to Brooks’ claim—looking upon it as worth nothing.
As the bearer, Moses Crawford,[17] is obliged to go off immediately, I shall refrain from giving a full account of my proceedings here for a few days longer; as I shall have another opportunity soon, and then will give you as full an account as I am able. I am, etc.[18]

April 15, 1783: On this day in 1783, the Continental Congress of the United States officially ratifies the preliminary peace treaty with Great Britain that was signed in November 1782. The congressional move brings the nascent nation one step closer to the conclusion of the Revolutionary War.
Five months later, on September 3, 1783, the Treaty of Paris was signed by representatives of the United States, Great Britain, Spain and France, officially bringing an end to the Revolutionary War. It also formalized Great Britain's recognition of America's independence.
The treaty established the Mississippi River as the western boundary of the new United States; allowed U.S. fishermen to troll the waters off Newfoundland, Canada; recognized the legitimacy of pre-war debts owed by Americans and Britons; and promised to reunite American Loyalists with property seized from them during the war. The American and Britons were satisfied with the agreement. However, western Indians who had allied themselves to Britain discovered that their land had been handed over by the British to the Americans without consultation or compensation. As they had neither lost their battles nor negotiated a treaty with the Americans, they continued to fight until 1795. Spain assisted southern Indians as they fought to protect their land from encroaching Georgians.
North of the Ohio Valley, the British maintained their forts at Niagara and Detroit, despite their promise to withdraw in the Treaty of Paris. They argued that Americans had breached the treaty by failing to return Loyalist property and pay British creditors as promised. American willingness to trade with revolutionary France further angered the British, and increased their promises of British aid to aggrieved Indians. The British only retreated from the Northwest Territory following the negotiation of the controversial Jay treat with Britain, which was ratified in 1795.[23]

ANTICIPATING NOT BEING ABLE TO PAY A BILL, JUDGE JACKSON INFORMS HIS DEBTOR AND RECOMMENTDS A PLAN TO HONOR THE DEBT.
ANDREW JACKSON. ALS: "Andrew Jackson" as Judge and farmer, 1p, 7½x12½ inlaid on 9½x13¼ sheet. Wythe, (Tennessee), 1804 April 15. Integral leaf addressed by Jackson to: "Colo Francis Preston/Salt Works". No postal markings. In full: "On yesterday I called at your house and expected to have had the pleasure of seeing you there, was informed by Mrs. Preston you were at your iron works. I had a wish to have seen you upon the subject of the iron and castings, and receive information in whose possession they were stored. I am fearful there will not be a sufficient levell (sic) in the river this Spring to carry them to Nashville. Should this be the case if an opportunity should offer I wish them to be sold for cost and carriage and even less rather than a disappointment should take place in the payment to be made to you. The failure of crops in Cumberland will make our remittances short of our expectations this Spring and in case a levell (sic) in the river does not happen between this and the 25th of next month we have no right to expect one before the coming winter. My object is to make part of their cost out of them and if I cannot have the Boat started down the river before the 20th next mont (sic), I will thank you to sell them to any person that may apply at their cost &c - to meet the payment to be made to you. Health & respect." Tennessee had entered the Union as the 16th state on June 1, 1796. Jackson was elected Tennessee's first Congressman and served from December 5, 1796 to March 3, 1797. He was U.S. Senator from March 4, 1797 until he resigned in April 1798, having been elected Judge of the State Supreme Court of Tennessee. Jackson served in that office from 1798 until July 24, 1804, when he retired from public life and moved to the Hermitage near Nashville to engage in planting and mercantile pursuits. This letter is a prime example of why Jackson had an excellent reputation in business. From Jackson's biography in Appleton's Cyclopædia of American Biography (New York, 1887): "In 1804, he resigned from his judgeship in order to devote his attention exclusively to his private affairs. He paid up all his debts and engaged extensively both in planting and in trade. He was noted for fair and honorable dealing, his credit was always excellent, and a note with his name on it was considered as good as gold. He had a clear head for business, and was never led astray by the delusions about paper money by which American frontier communities have so often been infested. His plantation was well managed, and his slaves were always kindly and considerately treated." FRANCIS PRESTON (1765-1835) had represented Virginia in Congress from 1793-1797. He did not seek re-nomination and settled in Abingdon, Virginia, less than ten miles from the Tennessee state line. His wife, SARAH PRESTON, mentioned by Jackson in this letter, was the daughter of Revolutionary War General William Campbell and a niece of Patrick Henry. Uniformly browned and damp stained, but completely legible with all words intact. Folds, a light vertical fold touches the "J". Lightly nicked left and right edges. ¾x¾-inch red wax stain at right margin touches 2 letters of text. Slightly soiled leaf.

April 15, 1791: The Alexandria Masonic Lodge placed a stone at the south corner on April 15, 1791, in ceremonies attended by Ellicott, federal district commissioners Daniel Carroll and David Stuart, and other dignitaries. Other stones, made of Aquia Creek sandstone, were placed at one-mile intervals along the boundaries, resulting in 40 stones total. On each stone, the side facing the District of Columbia displayed the inscription "Jurisdiction of the United States" and a mile number. The opposite side said either "Virginia" or "Maryland," as appropriate. The third and fourth sides displayed the year in which the stone was placed (1791 for the 14 Virginia stones and 1792 for the 26 Maryland stones) and the magnetic compass variance at that place. Stones along the northwest Maryland boundary also displayed the number of miles they fell from NW4, the first stone placed in Maryland. Stones placed at intervals of more than a mile included that extra distance measured in poles.
The boundary stones are the oldest federal monuments. Although several boundary stones have been moved or severely damaged, 35 original stones and 2 substitute stones, SW2 and SE8, are in or near their original locations, including all 14 in the land that was returned to Virginia in the 1846-1847 retrocession. Two (SE4 and SE6) are in storage and the 40th (NE1) is marked by a plaque. This site describes the locations of the stones as of 2011, updating the information provided by the Daughters of the American Revolution (1976) and the National Register of Historic Places (1996).

April 15, 1861: Declaring a state of “insurrection,” President Lincoln issues a call for 75,000 volunteers for three months service.[29] Lincoln called on the states to send detachments totaling 75,000 troops,[127] to recapture forts, protect the capital, and "preserve the Union," which in his view still existed intact despite the actions of the seceding states.[128] These events forced the states to choose sides. Virginia declared its secession, after which the Confederate capital was moved from Montgomery to Richmond. North Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas also voted for secession over the next two months. Missouri, Kentucky and Maryland threatened secession,[127] but neither they nor the slave state of Delaware seceded.
Troops headed south towards Washington, D.C. to protect the capital in response to Lincoln's call.[30]
An army surgeon, Doctor Charles Leale, initially assessed Lincoln's wound as mortal. The President was taken across the street from the theater to the Petersen House, where he lay in a coma for nine hours before dying. Several physicians attended Lincoln, including U.S. Army Surgeon General Joseph K. Barnes of the Army Medical Museum. Using a probe, Barnes located some fragments of Lincoln's skull and the ball lodged 6 inches (15 cm) inside his brain. Lincoln never regained consciousness and was pronounced dead at 7:22:10 a.m. April 15, 1865. He was the first president to be assassinated or to lie in state. Lincoln's body was carried by train in a grand funeral procession through several states on its way back to Illinois.[208] While much of the nation mourned him as the savior of the United States, Copperheads celebrated the death of a man they considered a tyrant. The Lincoln Tomb in Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois, is 177 feet (54 m) tall and, by 1874, was surmounted with several bronze statues of Lincoln. To prevent repeated attempts to steal Lincoln's body and hold it for ransom, Robert Todd Lincoln had it exhumed and reinterred in concrete several feet thick in 1901.

William Harrison Goodlove Civil War Diary, 24th Iowa Infantry[31]
April 15, 1865: President Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, dies from an assassin’s bullet. Shot by John Wilkes Booth at Ford’s Theater in Washington the night before, Lincoln lived for nine hours before succumbing to the severe head wound he sustained.
Lincoln’s death came just after the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s army at Appomattox Court House, Virginia. Lincoln had just served the most difficult presidency in history, successfully leading the country through civil war. His job was exhausting and overwhelming at times. He had to manage a tremendous military effort, deal with diverse opinions in his own Republican party, counter his Democratic critics, maintain morale on the northern home front, and keep foreign countries such as France and Great Britain from recognizing the Confederacy. He did all of this, and changed American history when he issued the Emancipation Proclamation, converting the war goal from reunion of the nation to a crusade to end slavery.
Now, the great man was dead. Secretary of War Edwin Stanton said, “Now, he belongs to the ages.” Word spread quickly across the nation, stunning a people who were still celebrating the Union victory. Troops in the field wept, as did General Ulysses S. Grant, the overall Union commander. Perhaps no group was more grief stricken than the freed slaves. Although abolitionists considered Lincoln slow in moving against slavery, many freedmen saw “Father Abraham” as their savior. They faced an uncertain world, and now had lost their most powerful proponent.
Lincoln’s funeral was held on April 19, before a funeral train carried his body back to his hometown of Springfield, Illinois. During the two-week journey, hundreds of thousands gathered along the railroad tracks to pay their respects, and the casket was unloaded for public viewing at several stops. He and his son, Willie, who died in the White House of typhoid fever in 1862, were interred on May 4.[32]

Overview
Abraham Lincoln, U.S. President
· Born: February 12, 1809
· Birthplace: Near Hodgenville, Kentucky
· Died: April 15, 1865 (assassination by gunshot)
· Best Known As: The Civil War president who wrote the Gettysburg Address and Emancipation Proclamation Signed and issued January 1, 1863
The stories really are true: Abe Lincoln grew up on the American frontier, educated himself by reading borrowed books, and worked as a general store clerk long before he became the 16th president of the United States. His claims to fame are too numerous to list briefly; he is most often remembered for leading the Union through the Civil War and freeing Confederate slaves with the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation; for delivering the Gettysburg Address, the most famous oration in American history; and for his tragic assassination by John Wilkes Booth. Upon Lincoln's death, Andrew Johnson assumed the presidency.
Abe Lincoln failed about 12 times and kept on going. Lost his mother at an early age. Lost his child hood sweetheart. Married to a shrew who was later put in the insane asylum by her own son ~~ Lincoln was a very honest man who overcame his poor background and became the greatest American after George Washington.
He is on the five dollar bill and the penny and his Gettysburg address lives in the hearts of all real Americans Lincoln was married to Mary Todd Lincoln I am reading a book about Mary Todd Lincoln and she had to overcome much adversity too she was a Southerner married to the President of the US fighting the South she lost two children in the White House~~TAD and Willie Poor Lincolns ~~both were married 25 years but they had tragedy all their lives
Yes, that's Lincoln on the U.S. penny and the five dollar bill. In 1864 Lincoln named Salmon P. Chase to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court -- Chase is on the ten thousand dollar bill... Lincoln was preceded by James Buchanan, the only president to remain a bachelor for life... Lincoln was the first president to be born outside the original thirteen states... He was the first president to wear a beard while in office... Lincoln's oldest son, Robert Todd Lincoln, was present at three assassinations: his father's, President Garfield's in 1881 and President McKinley's in 1901... A famous (and enormous) biography of Lincoln was written by 20th-century author Carl Sandburg... Lincoln was the 16th president.[33]
Biography
Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He successfully led the United States through its greatest internal crisis, the American Civil War, preserving the Union and ending slavery. Before his election in 1860[1] as the first Republican president, Lincoln, reared in a family of modest means and mostly self-educated, had been a country lawyer, an Illinois state legislator, a member of the United States House of Representatives, and twice an unsuccessful candidate for election to the United States Senate. Lincoln was a dedicated, though often necessarily absent, husband, and father of four children. As an outspoken opponent of the expansion of slavery in the United States,[2] Lincoln won the Republican nomination and was elected president in 1860. His tenure in office was immersed in the defeat of the secessionist Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. He introduced measures that resulted in the abolition of slavery, issuing his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and promoting the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Six days after the large-scale surrender of Confederate forces under Robert E. Lee, Lincoln became the first American president to be assassinated.
Lincoln had closely supervised the war effort, especially the selection of top generals, including Ulysses S. Grant. Historians have concluded that he handled the factions of the Republican Party well, bringing leaders of each faction into his cabinet and forcing them to cooperate. Lincoln successfully defused the Trent Affair, a war scare with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland late in 1861. Under his leadership, the Union took control of the border slave states at the start of the war. Additionally, he managed his own reelection in the 1864 presidential election.
Copperheads and other opponents of the war criticized Lincoln for refusing to compromise on the slavery issue. Conversely, the Radical Republicans criticized him for moving too slowly in abolishing slavery. Even with these opponents, Lincoln successfully rallied public opinion through his rhetoric and speeches;[3] his Gettysburg Address became an iconic symbol of the nation's duty. At the close of the war, Lincoln held a moderate view of Reconstruction, seeking to speedily reunite the nation through a policy of generous reconciliation. Lincoln has consistently been ranked by scholars as one of the greatest of all U.S. Presidents. [34]
April 15, 1865: Throughout his life, Lincoln suffered many defeats - enough to make most men give up. But not Abraham Lincoln. His dedication and commitment found merit in heaven. He believed he was chosen "for such a time as this." In the Gettysburg Address he wrote: "We cannot escape history. We...will be remembered in spite of ourselves....In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free - honorable alike in what we give, and what we preserve." He said his life had been a miracle of God's grace all the way through." -------------------- 1.

Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He successfully led the country through its greatest constitutional, military and moral crisis—the American Civil War—by preserving the Union by force while ending slavery and promoting economic modernization. Reared in a poor family on the western frontier, he was mostly self-educated. He became a country lawyer, an Illinois state legislator, and a one-term member of the United States House of Representatives but failed in two attempts at a seat in the United States Senate. He was an affectionate, though often absent, husband and father of four children.
Lincoln was an outspoken opponent of the expansion of slavery in the United States, which he deftly articulated in his campaign debates and speeches.[1] As a result, he secured the Republican nomination and was elected president in 1860. After war began, following declarations of secession by southern slave states, he concentrated on both the military and political dimensions of the war effort, seeking to reunify the nation. He vigorously exercised unprecedented war powers, including the arrest and detention without trial of thousands of suspected secessionists. He issued his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and promoted the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, abolishing slavery.
Lincoln closely supervised the war effort, especially the selection of top generals, including Ulysses S. Grant. He brought leaders of various factions of his party into his cabinet and pressured them to cooperate. He defused a confrontation with Britain in the Trent affair late in 1861. Under his leadership, the Union took control of the border slave states at the start of the war and tried repeatedly to capture the Confederate capital at Richmond. Each time a general failed, Lincoln substituted another until finally Grant succeeded in 1865. A shrewd politician deeply involved with patronage and power issues in each state, he reached out to War Democrats and managed his own reelection in the 1864 presidential election.
As the leader of the moderate faction of the Republican party, Lincoln came under attack from all sides. Radical Republicans wanted harsher treatment of the South, Democrats desired more compromise, and secessionists saw him as their enemy. Lincoln fought back with patronage, by pitting his opponents against each other, and by appealing to the American people with his powers of oratory; for example, his Gettysburg Address of 1863 became one of the most quoted speeches in American history. It was an iconic statement of America's dedication to the principles of nationalism, equal rights, liberty, and democracy. At the close of the war, Lincoln held a moderate view of Reconstruction, seeking to speedily reunite the nation through a policy of generous reconciliation in the face of lingering and bitter divisiveness. Just six days after the decisive surrender of the commanding general of the Confederate army, Lincoln fell victim to an assassin, the first U.S. president to suffer such a fate. Lincoln has consistently been ranked by scholars as one of the greatest U.S. presidents.[36]

April 15, 1913: The lantern slide lectures were their salvation. They were called “A Trip Around the World,” and were emphasized foreign missions. The lectures were well advertised, and tickets were printed. The sale of these, at fifty cents apiece, made it possible for the League to pay for the rental of the slides. Additional small fees and collections helped the Department of World Evangelism to make good.

The League’s early efforts were not well rewarded: only twelve persons attended the first meeting. But the League kept faith and put on the finest programs it could, intil gradually there came a response. The effort did not reach those who were known as “outsiders,” however, for Buck Creek Church itself was not yet wide awake.[40]

April 15, 1917: Buck Creek in the National Spotlight: The lack of progress in getting a local consolidation movement under way in the Buck Creek area was surely a source of disappointment for Chalice and his more ardent followers. Professor Paul L. Vogt, Ph.D., National Superintendent of Rural Work in the Methodist Episcopal Church, had scheduled a visit to Buck Creek on April 15, 1917, as part of his effort to see fist hand “the best results of rural and village church work in all parts of the country.” Vogt had been informed of Chalice’s work and was collectiong information on this church’s successful efforts at revitalizing rural churches. A successful rural school consolidation movement lead by the Buck Creek Church would have bgee3n the crowning achievement in Chalice’s rural-revitalization project at Buck Creek.
Vogt arrived and spent several days visiting with Chalice, collecting some of the materials he wanted to include in a publication chronicling Chalic’s community building success in Buck Creek. Vogt did not appear disappointed, and when he spoke at the Sunday morning service in the Buck Creek Church, he congratulated the congregation for its ouitstanding work in solving the rural church problem. He also offered some suggestions for continued success, which givien his perspectives on rural sociology published in the same year, surely included rural school consolidation. [44]

O'Conor, Roderic (A.L.S.), April 15, 1927 [45]
April 15, 1941: In the Belfast Blitz, two-hundred bombers of the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) attack Belfast, Northern Ireland killing one thousand people. During World War II, a number of Jewish children escaping from the Nazis, via the Kindertransport, reached and were housed in Millisle. The Millisle Refugee Farm (Magill’s farm, on the Woburn Road) and was founded by teenage pioneers from the Bachad movement. It took refugees from May 1938 until its closure in 1948.[46]
April 15, 1942:
1. Of interest is the weather broadcasting vessel fixed by shore RDF on April 15 in Latitude 44° 00' North, Longitude 162° 00' East - 500 miles from the Kurils,750 miles from the Aleutians and 1200 miles from Tokyo.
2. The Japanese surface patrol is particularly suited to their eastern sea frontier and is unquestionably effective. Were it equipped with radar, it would be made almost impenetrable with fewer units. In certain areas, a radar equipped small boat patrol would seem to have some advantage over long distance air patrols as we maintain them; primarily in that it is on station at the critical distance, night and day. Such a patrol might detect an attempted afternoon and night run in by a raiding force when an air patrol would not pick it up. Favorable areas in which we might use such a patrol are: Costa Rica - Galapagos - Ecuador, off southern California, off Cape Mendocino and off Vancouver Island. A combination of surface craft and aircraft patrol should reduce the number of aircraft now maintained in specific areas and thus make possible a wider distribution of the aircraft now available.
3. Although specific information is lacking, it is believed that the Japanese patrol craft are not armed with anything larger than machine guns. Therefore, if future bombing raids on Honshu, similar to this one, are planned it might be advantageous to send one or more of our submarines in advance of the raiding force to "soften", by destruction and dispersal, the enemy patrol in the 600 - 800 mile belt across its line of advance. At this distance it seems unlikely that the enemy would take strong anti-submarine measures.
4. A further suggestion is that two submarines, equipped with radio apparatus similar to that installed in aircraft and in carriers, might be disposed in a selected area and by conducting lost plane procedure effectively draw enemy forces away from the area from which an aircraft raiding attack might be launched. As a means of harassing the enemy, even though no actual aircraft raiding attack were planned by our forces, this employment of submarines seems to offer many possibilities.
5. All personnel, both ship and air group performed their duties in a highly creditable manner. No outstandingly meritorious, and on censurable conduct on the part of any individual was observed.
6. The efficiency of the ship and all munitions of war are satisfactory except for the performance of the F4F4's and the limited range of the TBS's, reported in separate correspondence.

• April 15, 1944: Seventy Jews and ten Russians attempted to escape from the forests surrounding the two of Ponary. Lithuania. From July 1941 until July 1944, approximately 100,000 people (mainly Jews) were murdered in the forests surrounding Ponary a resort town in Lithuania. As the Red Army approached a group of 70 Jews and 10 Russians were given the task of burning all the bodies to cover up the mass murder. Realizing that at the end of their work they too would be killed they (over a period of three months) dug a tunnel 30 meters long with spoons. On the night of April 15 they escaped. Only 13 reached safety alive.[49] During an escape attempt from Poary, where they had been employed burning corpses, fifteen prisoners succeed in escaping and sixty-five others are killed.[50]

April 15, 1945: British forces liberated the Bergen-Belsen camp. The British soldiers were horror-stricken at the spectacle that greeted them. They found some 60,000 human beings alive under appalling conditions. Most of them were seriously ill. Alongside them were thousands of unburied corpses, strewn in every direction, and vast numbers of emaciated bodies in mass graves and piles. Because the British Army was not geared to treat everyone who needed assistance, 14,000 additional prisoners died in the first few days and a similar number perished in the following weeks. The British forces began to treat and rehabilitate the rest of the survivors.[52]

opening export-import talks and franchising discussions. Why he has accepted and keeps this
appointment at such a crucial time has never been properly explained. Because of the absence of
its director, the CIA’s secondary leaders -- officials with no combat or command experience --
made “the operational decision which they felt within their authority.” For decisions above them, they
were supposed to go to the President. Cabell and Bissell, in Dulles’s absence, are inherently

[15] The governor, on receiving this letter, immediately ordered out one-half of the militia in 10 of the upper counties Colonel Fairfaxs, one of the council, wrote to Colonel Washington, (April 26): “The House of Burgesses are pleased with the Governor’s orders, and depend on your vigilance and success. Your endeavours in the service and defence of your country must redound to your honor; therefore do not let any unavoidable interruptions sicken your mind in the attempts you may pursue. Your good health and fortune are the toast at every table. Among the Romans, such a general acclamation and public regard, shown to any of their chieftains, were always esteemed a high honor, and gratefully accepted.”
Landon Carter also wrote as follows: “Virginia has been a neglected Colony by the mother country, and had there been a more active king on the throne of France, they must have made a conquest of it long ago. Should we talk of obliging men to serve the country, you are sure to hear a fellow mumble over the words ‘liberty’ and ‘proerty’ a thousand times. Sir, I think as you do. I have endeavoured, though not on the field, yet in the senate, as much as possible to convince the country of danger, and they know it; but like stingy creatures they are willing to wait for rains to wet the powder, and rats to eat the bow-strings of the enemy, rather than attempt to drive them from their frontiers.” These letters are printed in Hamilton’s Letters to Washington, vol. 1, pp. 213,234.

Series 21: Collector's Items, 1783-1915, bulk 1827-1893
This series consists of letters, autographs, and miscellaneous other documents that were not originally directed to Harrison or his family, but which Harrison collected. There are items from many famous people, most of whom were Americans, including John Quincy Adams, Washington Irving, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, George Washington, and Noah Webster. The content of the letters in this series tends to not be very substantive, with many of the letters being things such as thank you notes, responses to requests for autographs, and invitations and responses to invitations.
This box is stored in the Vault. The correspondence in this series is arranged alphabetically by the sender's name. Multiple items within a folder are then arranged chronologically. Documents other than correspondence are arranged alphabetically by the name of the person who signed the document, or to whom the document primarily relates.

Series 2: Incoming Correspondence, 1867-1953
The majority of this series is personal correspondence sent to Harrison, although there are also a significant number of items that were sent to Harrison in his official capacity as Mayor of Chicago or Collector of Internal Revenue. Several letters have handwritten annotations by Harrison explaining the letter's context or giving his thoughts on the sender or the letter's subject.
Much of Harrison's official incoming correspondence involves patronage job appointments. The rest of Harrison's incoming correspondence covers a wide range of topics, including: (a) his three books (Stormy Years, Growing Up With Chicago, and With the American Red Cross in France, 1918-1919); (b) the political activities of the Democratic Party at both the local and national level, including four letters from Tammany Hall boss Richard Croker; (c) early Chicago history; (d) hunting and fishing trips; (e) efforts to locate the whereabouts of various individuals with whom Harrison was acquainted in the past; and (f) responses from well-known people of Harrison's day from whom he requested autographs as a young man.
Among the correspondence in this series are two interesting letters from then Senator Harry Truman in 1936 in which Truman tells Harrison what he thinks of the French and expresses his displeasure at France's failure to repay the United States for debts incurred during World War I in connection with the purchase of war supplies. There is also a letter from Harrison's brother, William Preston Harrison, giving his eyewitness account of the assassination of Harrison's father in 1893, and a letter from Lawton Parker inviting Harrison to attend a meeting to discuss the formation the Arts Club of Chicago. Finally, this series includes letters relating to Harrison's service with the American Red Cross in France at the end of World War I, and his gifts to the Art Institute of Chicago.
There is a fair amount of correspondence (i.e., over five letters) from the following individuals or entities: American Red Cross; Art Institute of Chicago; Bobbs-Merrill Company; William Jennings Bryan; Charles Collins; Charles G. Dawes; Charles S. Deneen; Edward F. Dunne; E. K. Eckert; James Farley; Alexander Hugh Ferguson; Charles Fitzmorris; Sophonisba Preston Harrison; William Preston Harrison; Henry Horner; Cordell Hull; Harold L. Ickes; James Hamilton Lewis; Frank O. Lowden; Edgar Lee Masters; William Gibbs McAdoo; John T. McCutcheon; F. Millet; Henry Morgenthau Jr.; Battling Nelson; Lawton Parker; Henry T. Rainey; Frederick Rex; Franklin Delano Roosevelt; Julius Rosenwald; A. J. Sabath; Adlai E. Stevenson; William Hale Thompson; Henry Emerson Tuttle; and Walter Ufer.
Letters to Harrison specifically about his family's genealogy and history are arranged separately in Series 11 (Harrison Family History). Letters to Harrison about the Chicago Commission for the Encouragement of Local Art are arranged separately in Series 12 (Chicago Commission for the Encouragement of Local Art).
This series is arranged alphabetically by the sender's name. Multiple items within a folder are then arranged chronologically.
