Tuesday April 23, 1754:
The officers of the Virginia Regiment decide to press on and build their road to Redstone Creek (on the Monongahela) even though the French now control the Forks of the Ohio.
Washington decides to make a fort at Redstone
Following Ward‘s ejection from the present-day location of Pittsburgh, a council of war was held
at Wills Creek on April 23, 1754. Fry had not yet arrived. Washington‘s journal records the
council of war as follows:
It was thought a thing impracticable to march towards the Fort without sufficient
strength; however, being strongly invited by the Indians, and particularly by the speeches
of the Half-King, the president put the question to vote whether we should not advance,
as far as Red-Stone Creek on Monongahela about thirty-seven miles on this side of the
fort, and there to erect a fortification, clearing a road broad enough to pass with all our
artillery and our baggage, and there to wait for fresh Orders.
The proposition aforesaid was adopted for the following reasons;
1st. That the mouth of Red-Stone is the first convenient place on the River Monongahela.
2nd. The stores are already built at that place for the provisions of the Company, wherein
our Ammunition may be laid up, our great guns may be also sent by water whenever we
shall think it convenient to attack the Fort.[1]
George Washington to Edward Hubbard, April 23, 1756
April 23, 1756
Sir: it has been determined here in a Council of War, that it would be most advisable for you to evacuate your Fort at Enock’s: destroy it, and join Captain Harrison at Edwards’s, with your Party, stores, and the inhabitants. As we are not acquainted with their situation at Cox’s, it was thought best that you send the sergeant there, a conditional Order to join you at Enocks’s, or keep possession where he is (which ever he and the Inhabitants, from the situation of affairs, think most advisable;) until we can send them some assistance, which will, I hope, be very soon; as I expect to be joined by a number of men shortly.
You are to send him this Order immediately. If he retreats to your party, you must order him to destroy the Fort, ere he quits the place.
I would recommend it to the Inhabitants, to drive down their Cattle, &c. with them. Yours, etc.[2]

The Convention Parliament was dissolved in December 1660, and Charles's coronation took place at Westminster Abbey on April 23, 1661. Charles was the last sovereign to make the traditional procession from the Tower of London to Westminster Abbey the day before the coronation.[23]
Clarendon Code
Shortly after the coronation, the second English Parliament of the reign assembled. Dubbed the Cavalier Parliament, it was overwhelmingly Royalist and Anglican. It sought to discourage non-conformity to the Church of England, and passed several acts to secure Anglican dominance. The Corporation Act 1661 required municipal officeholders to swear allegiance;[24] the Act of Uniformity 1662 made the use of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer compulsory; the Conventicle Act 1664 prohibited religious assemblies of more than five people, except under the auspices of the Church of England; and the Five Mile Act 1665 prohibited clergymen from coming within five miles (8 km) of a parish from which they had been banished. The Conventicle and Five Mile Acts remained in effect for the remainder of Charles's reign. The Acts became known as the "Clarendon Code", after Lord Clarendon, even though he was not directly responsible for them and even spoke against the Five Mile Act.[25]
The Restoration was accompanied by social change. Puritanism lost its momentum. Theatres reopened after having been closed during the protectorship of Oliver Cromwell, and bawdy "Restoration comedy" became a recognisable genre. Theatre licenses granted by Charles were the first in England to permit women to play female roles on stage (they were previously played by boys),[26] and Restoration literature celebrated or reacted to the restored court, which included libertines like John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester. Of Charles II, Wilmot supposedly said:
We have a pretty witty king,
And whose word no man relies on,
He never said a foolish thing,
And never did a wise one"[27]
to which Charles supposedly said "that's true, for my words are my own, but my actions are those of my ministers".
Great Plague and Great Fire
In 1665, Charles was faced with a great health crisis: the Great Plague of London.[4]

April 23, 1685: Charles died in 1685 after converting to Catholicism on his deathbed.[58] Having no legitimate children, Charles was succeeded by his brother James, who reigned in England and Ireland as James II, and in Scotland as James VII. There was little initial opposition to his succession, and there were widespread reports of public rejoicing at the orderly succession.[59] James wanted to proceed quickly to the coronation, and was crowned with his wife at Westminster Abbey on April 23, 1685.[60][8]
April 23, 1701
Ebenezer Zane did not endear himself to the Quaker elders when he attended, with Penn, the Kensington Treaty or Great Elm Treaty, as some called it, on April 23, 1701, to purchase a tract o the great forested lands stretching north and west from the site o Philadelphia, a treaty that years later, because o an ambiguity, greatly defrauded the Delawares.[9]
The name "Cutlip" appears in England as early as the seventeenth century; however, the preponderance of evidence — circumstantial in some cases — strongly suggests a German origin for most, if not all, branches of the Cutlip family. The German name Gottlieb can be used as either a given or family name, much like "Bruce" or "Lester" or "Clark" can be either first, middle, or last names in English-speaking countries. Gott is German for God. Lieb is German for love. Gottlieb, then, means "love of God." Another West Virginia family with German roots is named Crislip today; but was Christlieb back then.[10]
Immigrants came to the Shenandoah Valley from northern colonies where land was prohibitedly expensive. Settlers here included German Lutherans fleeing the wars of the 1700’s. [11]
April 23, 1702: Queen Anne (1702 - 1714)
Name: Queen Anne
Full Name: Anne Stuart
Born: February 6, 1665 at St. James Palace, London
Parents: James II and Anne Hyde
Relation to Elizabeth II: 2nd cousin 8 times removed
House of: Stuart
Ascended to the throne: March 8, 1702 aged 37 years
Crowned: April 23, 1702 at Westminster Abbey
Married: George, son of Frederick III of Denmark
Children: Eighteen, including miscarriages and still-born, of whom only one William survived to age of 11
Died: August 1, 1714 at Kensington Palace , aged 49 years, 5 months, and 22 days
Buried at: Westminster
Reigned for: 12 years, 4 months, and 24 days
Succeeded by: her 3rd cousin George of Hanover
Anne was the second daughter of James, Duke of York, who became James II, and his first wife, Anne Hyde, daughter of Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon. Anne and her elder sister Mary received a Protestant upbringing although their father James converted to Catholicism and remarried. In 1683 Anne married Prince George of Denmark (1653–1708). She had between 16 and 18 pregnancies but only one child survived - William, Duke of Gloucester who died aged 11 of smallpox in 1700.
Her sister Mary married William of Orange but Anne was forbidden by her father to visit her in the Netherlands. When William landed in England in 1688 to take the throne, Anne on the influence of her close friend Sarah Churchill (1650–1744) the wife of John Churchill (1650–1722), supported her sister and brother-in-law against her father James. Churchill was created Duke of Marlborough by William when he was crowned King William III and her sister Queen Mary II. Anne detested her brother-in-law, and the Churchills' influence led her briefly during William’s reign to engage in Jacobite intrigues.
Mary died in 1694 and on William’s death in 1702 Anne succeeded to the throne as Queen Anne. When she was crowned in April 1702 Anne was 37 years old and after her many pregnancies had poor health and no longer her youthful figure. She was shy and stubborn and very different from her outgoing sister Mary. Anne and Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough, remained close friends – Anne addressed Sarah as ‘Mrs Freeman’ and she called Anne ‘Mrs Morley’. Sarah’s husband the Duke of Marlborough commanded the English Army in the War of Spanish Succession, and won a series of victories over the French at Blenheim (1704), Ramillies (1706), Oudenarde (1708) and Malplaquet (1709). The influence of the Churchill’s however began to decline and after a violent quarrel in 1710, Sarah Churchill was dismissed from court. Abigail Masham succeeded the duchess as Anne's favourite, using her influence to further the Tories.
Towards the end of her life, Anne suffered from gout and she could hardly walk. On her death in 1714 her body had swollen so large that she was buried in an almost square coffin. On the question of succession, Anne's family loyalty had convinced her that this should fall to her father's son by his second wife (Mary of Modena), James Edward Stuart, known as the Old Pretender. However, the Act of Settlement in 1701 ensured Protestant succession to the throne, and Anne was succeeded by George I, great-grandson of James I.

Jefferson submits to Congress his Report of a Plan of Government for the Western Territory, establishing procedures for the entrance of new states. In it, Jefferson proposes that slavery be abolished in new states by 1800. Congress rejects this part of the plan and passes the revised Ordinance April 23. Jefferson blames Southern representatives for Congress's rejection of his original plan. The Ordinance of 1784 marks the high point of Jefferson's opposition to slavery, which is more muted thereafter

April 23, 1838: Forced removal

April 23,, 1838: Letter to President Van Buren, Ralph Waldo Emerson, April 23, 1838[15]
Many white Americans were outraged by the dubious legality of the treaty and called on the government not to force the Cherokees to move. For example, on April 23, 1838, Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote a letter to Jackson’s successor, President Martin Van Buren, urging him not to inflict “so vast an outrage upon the Cherokee Nation.”[3][16]
April 23, 1838: Ethics are always a subjective thing, but the sheer cruelty exhibited toward the Indian people seems hard to deny. However, not all Americans of 1838 closed their eyes to this sort of brutality. There were those Americans who were morally distraught at what they saw. Some spoke up publicly. One was Ralph Waldo Emerson. In his Letter To Martin Van Buren, President of the United States, April 23, 1838, he wrote:[9]
In the name of God, sir, we ask you if this be so. Do the newspapers rightly inform us?...
The piety, the principle that is left in the United States, if only in its coarsest form, a regard to the speech of men, – forbid us to entertain it as a fact. Such a dereliction of all faith and virtue, such a denial of justice, and such deafness to screams for mercy were never heard of in times of peace and in the dealing of a nation with its own allies and wards, since the earth was made. Sir, does this government think that the people of the United States are become savage and mad? From their mind are the sentiments of love and a good nature wiped clean out? The soul of man, the justice, the mercy that is the heart's heart in all men, from Maine to Georgia, does abhor this business.
In speaking thus the sentiments of my neighbors and my own, perhaps I overstep the bounds of decorum. But would it not be a higher indecorum coldly to argue a matter like this? We only state the fact that a crime is projected that confounds our understandings by its magnitude, -a crime that really deprives us as well as the Cherokees of a country, for how could we call the conspiracy that should crush these poor Indians our government, or the land that was cursed by their parting and dying imprecations our country, any more? You, sir, will bring down that renowned chair in which you sit into infamy if your seal is set to this instrument of perfidy ; and the name of this nation, hitherto the sweet omen of religion and liberty, will stink to the world.
You will not do us the injustice of connecting this remonstrance with any sectional and party feeling. It is in our hearts the simplest commandment of brotherly love. We will not have this great and solemn claim upon national and human justice huddled aside under the flimsy plea of its being a party act. Sir, to us the questions upon which the government and the people have been agitated during the past year*, touching the prostration of the currency and of trade, seem but motes in comparison. These hard times, it is true, have brought the discussion home to every farmhouse and poor man's house in this town; but it is the chirping of grasshoppers beside the immortal question whether justice shall be done by the race of civilized to the race of savage man, – whether all the attributes of reason, of civility, of justice, and even of mercy, shall be put off by the American people, and so vast an outrage upon the Cherokee Nation and upon human nature shall be consummated.
· The "questions...agitated during the past year" refers to the Panic of 1837.
Another was John G Burnett, whose memories of what he had witnessed both haunted and enraged him till his last days. His own words explain best.
This is my birthday, December 11, 1890, I am eighty years old today…in May 1838, an army of 4000 regulars, and 3000 volunteer soldiers under command of General Winfield Scott, marched into the Indian country and wrote the blackest chapter on the pages of American history…The removal of Cherokee Indians from their life long homes in the year of 1838 found me a young man in the prime of life and a Private soldier in the American Army…I was sent as interpreter into the Smoky Mountain Country in May, 1838, and witnessed the execution of the most brutal order in the History of American Warfare. I saw the helpless Cherokees arrested and dragged from their homes, and driven at the bayonet point into the stockades…Children were often separated from their parents….And in the chill of a drizzling rain on an October morning I saw them loaded like cattle or sheep into six hundred and forty-five wagons and started toward the west….On the morning of November the 17th we encountered a terrific sleet and snow storm with freezing temperatures and from that day until we reached the end of the fateful journey on March the 26th, 1839, the sufferings of the Cherokees were awful. The trail of the exiles was a trail of death. They had to sleep in the wagons and on the ground without fire…The long painful journey to the west ended March 26th, 1839, with four-thousand silent graves reaching from the foothills of the Smoky Mountains to what is known as Indian territory in the West…At this time, 1890, we are too near the removal of the Cherokees for our young people to fully understand the enormity of the crime that was committed against a helpless race…School children of today do not know that we are living on lands that were taken from a helpless race at the bayonet point to satisfy the white man’s greed. Future generations will read and condemn the act and I do hope posterity will remember that private soldiers like myself, and like the four Cherokees who were forced by General Scott to shoot an Indian Chief and his children, had to execute the orders of our superiors. …However, murder is murder whether committed by the villain skulking in the dark or by uniformed men stepping to the strains of martial music. Murder is murder, and somebody must answer. Somebody must explain the streams of blood that flowed in the Indian country in the summer of 1838. Somebody must explain the 4000 silent graves that mark the trail of the Cherokees to their exile. I wish I could forget it all, but the picture of 645 wagons lumbering over the frozen ground with their cargo of suffering humanity still lingers in my memory.
[10]
Burnett's story of the removal can not be validated.[citation needed] The documents show that he fabricated a large part of his claimed experiences.[citation needed] He did participate in the initial round up of the Cherokees as a U.S. military person.[11] He claims to have seen the 645 wagons used by the tribe in the removal. Considering that there were ca 14 detachments, leaving from various places and at various times, never would there have been 645 wagons in one spot. Further he claims to have witnessed Mrs. Ross, on horseback, surrendering her blanket during a snow storm to protect a child, and subsequently dying as a result of her generosity. Burnett says Mrs. Ross was buried in an unmarked grave. At the time of Mrs. Ross death she was on the ship Victoria with her husband, John Ross and some 225 other people. She was not buried in an unmarked grave. Quatie Ross is buried in Little Rock in one of the town's early cemeteries. A picture of her grave marker can be seen on the web. (see 'John G. Burnett's Account' pp. 337–341 in "Cherokee Emigration: Reconstructing Reality", The Chronicles of Oklahoma, Vol. LXXX, No. 3, Fall, 2002.

Cherokee Heritage Centre (Tahlequah, Oklahoma)
Cherokees who were removed initially settled near Tahlequah, Oklahoma. The political turmoil resulting from the Treaty of New Echota and the Trail of Tears led to the assassinations of Major Ridge, John Ridge, and Elias Boudinot; of those targeted for assassination that day, only Stand Watie escaped his assassins. The population of the Cherokee Nation eventually rebounded, and today the Cherokees are the largest American Indian group in the United States.[12]
There were some exceptions to removal. Perhaps 1,000 Cherokees evaded the U.S. soldiers and lived off the land in Georgia and other states. Those Cherokees who lived on private, individually owned lands (rather than communally owned tribal land) were not subject to removal. In North Carolina, about 400 Cherokees led by Yonaguska lived on land along the Oconaluftee River in the Great Smoky Mountains owned by a white man named William Holland Thomas (who had been adopted by Cherokees as a boy), and were thus not subject to removal, and these were joined by a smaller band of about 150 along the Nantahala River led by Utsala. Along with a group living in Snowbird and another along the Cheoah River in a community called Tomotley, these North Carolina Cherokees became the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation, numbering approximately 1000. According to a roll taken the year after the removal (1839), there were in addition some estimated about 400 of Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Alabama, and these also joined the EBCI.
The Trail of Tears is generally considered to be one of the most regrettable episodes in American history. To commemorate the event, the U.S. Congress designated the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail in 1987.[13] It stretches across nine states for 2,200 miles (3,500 km).
In 2004, during the 108th Congress, Senator Sam Brownback (Republican of Kansas) introduced a joint resolution (Senate Joint Resolution 37) to “offer an apology to all Native Peoples on behalf of the United States” for past “ill-conceived policies” by the United States Government regarding Indian Tribes.[17]
April 23, 1841: George Frederick LeClere immigrated with his parents to America in 1828 and settled in Mexico Oswego Co. New York. They settled in heavy timber, some which they cut, piled up and burnt using the ashes as fertilizer, as the soil was thin and rocky, then used the cleared off land to raise crops on.
On April 23 1841 he was married to Miss Louise Katherine Laude, a native of France (Semondaus Doubs France)
They began farming in Oswego Co. New York, where they lived until 1840 when they came to Iowa and settled on a Mineral reserve, an 80 acre farm 8 miles south of Dubuque.
They traveled from New York by the way of the canal and over the Great Lakes to Chicago, which was then swamp. Their emigrant wagons and oxen were put on shore. There were 18 in the party, which helped each other get through the swamp, with wooden poles prying their heavy wagons up as oxen pulled.
By good management and thrift he continued to add to his land until he became the owner of over 1800 acres of land. He accumulated a considerable fortune a goodly portion of which he presented to his children several years before his death.[18]
April 23, 1856: Bleeding Kansas and the Civil War
Shortly after Lawrence’s founding, two newspapers were started: The Kansas Pioneer and the Herald of Freedom. Both papers touted the Free State mission which caused problems from the people of Lecompton, then the pro-slavery headquarters, located about ten miles northwest of Lawrence, and land squatters from Missouri. The Kansas Free State began in early January 1855.[15][19]
On April 23, 1856 Sheriff Jones was shot while trying to arrest free-state settlers.[17][20]
The non-fatal shooting of Douglas County Sheriff Samuel Jones on April 23, 1856, while he was attempting to arrest free-state settlers in Lawrence, is believed to have been the immediate cause of the violence.[1][21]
April 23, 1860:
Carter Henry Harrison, born April 23, 1860 died December 25, 1953
PhotoLife and Times of Carter Harrison
By Milancie Hill Adams
Carter Harrison IV was born April 23, 1860. He was the third child of Carter Harrison III and Sophonisba Grayson Preston.
His childhood home was 231 Ashland Boulevard Chicago, Illinois. His father was a lucrative land owner and real estate agent who served as Mayor for four terms. His father was assassinated at the beginning of his fifth term during the Chicago World's Fair.
Carter Harrison HomeFrom Carter Harrison's autobiography, The Stormy Years, we are given the two following glimpses into Carter's childhood. First, Carter states that he attended a school located on the westside of Sheldon Street between Randolph and Lake Streets from 1868 to 1873, run by a Mr. John A Bell, a Scottish minister. He states "It was a strange kind of school in which the master, Scotch trained, never had a rattan father than twelve inches from his right hand. A great believer in corporal punishment, no morning was complete unless the rattan was wrapped around at least one youngster's legs. We probably needed all we got and more. ... If any of the thirty-odd boys, other than Dr. Antonio Lagorio of Pastuer Institute fame, his cousin, the two Owsleys, Harry and Heaton, and myself, came to good end, he failed to advertise it. Among the boys, about the best behaved, the most studious were the two Lagorios." Secondly, another place in his book he speaks of dinner his father and John hosted given in the parlor of Carter's home which the boys were not even allowed to festivities of although they could hear the lusty singing of Good Old Yale, Drink Her Down!, Excelsior and other classics. "It was a small but joyous gathering of the Chicago Yale Club given to song, horseplay and wassail; there was a huge punchbowl into which my father had poured pitcher after pitcher of Bourbon whisky drawn from the barrell in his cellar."
In 1873 when his Mother was pregnant with her tenth child the family physician advised they should go aboard to Europe. They returned home in 1876. Carter described himself as a very bashful youth, whose German was better than his English and who "would walk blocks in a roundabout course to avoid meeting a bevy of girls".
Against his father's earnest counsel He attended St. Ignatisus and completed a degree in Philosophy.[22]
Harrison was born on April 23, 1860. In 1873, Harrison's mother was advised to travel to Europe for her health, and Harrison and the rest of the family accompanied her and traveled throughout Germany, Austria, and Switzerland that spring and summer. Harrison's father then returned to Chicago in the fall to tend to his real estate business, but Harrison remained in Germany with his mother and attended school at the Altenberg Gymnasium.
In 1874, Harrison's father was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, and despite spending much of 1875 in Europe with his family, he was re-elected to Congress in 1876. During this time, Harrison continued his studies at Altenberg, but after his mother died in the fall of 1876 he returned to Chicago.
Upon his return to Chicago, Harrison entered St. Ignatius College (now Loyola University), which was then located near the family's home on Ashland Avenue between Jackson and Van Buren Streets. Harrison graduated from St. Ignatius in 1881, second in a class of two, and then attended Yale University Law School, from which he received a Bachelor of Laws degree in 1883. After law school, Harrison came back to Chicago and practiced law until 1891 when he and his brother, William Preston Harrison, took over the operation of the Chicago Times, which their father had recently purchased.

April 23, 1861: Lee resigned from the Army on April 20 and took up command of the Virginia state forces on April 23.[23] While historians have usually called his decision inevitable ("the answer he was born to make", wrote one; another called it a "no-brainer") given the ties to family and state, recent research shows that the choice was a difficult one that Lee made alone, without pressure from friends or family. His daughter Mary Custis was the only one among those close to Lee who favored secession, and wife Mary Anna especially favored the Union, so his decision astounded them. While Lee's immediate family followed him to the Confederacy, others, such as cousins and fellow officers Samuel Phillips and John Fitzgerald, remained loyal to the Union, as did 40% of all Virginian officers.[62]
Early role
At the outbreak of war, Lee was appointed to command all of Virginia's forces, but upon the formation of the Confederate States Army, he was named one of its first five full generals. Lee did not wear the insignia of a Confederate general, but only the three stars of a Confederate colonel, equivalent to his last U.S. Army rank.[65] He did not intend to wear a general's insignia until the Civil War had been won and he could be promoted, in peacetime, to general in the Confederate Army.
Lee's first field assignment was commanding Confederate forces in western Virginia, where he was defeated at the Battle of Cheat Mountain and was widely blamed for Confederate setbacks.[66][23]

Oscar Goodlove was doing business in Anamosa Monday of this week.[32]
By April 23, 1906 most fires were extinguished, and authorities commenced the task of rebuilding the devastated metropolis. It was estimated that some 3,000 people died as a result of the Great San Francisco Earthquake and the devastating fires it inflicted upon the city. Almost 30,000 buildings were destroyed, including most of the city's homes and nearly all the central business district.[33]
April 23, 1923: Ex Senator LeRoy Percy of Greenville, Mississipps, in a remarkable address delivered April 23, 1923, to his fellow townsmen, an address that should be read by all Americans where the Klan is an issue, says: “ This thing has come into our midst, parting friends, sowing discord, dissension, and hatred where there was gentleness and love and friendship; disrupting churches, threatening civic societies, destroying the spirit of cooperation, and making man look with suspicion on man and wonder whether his neighbor is his firend or his secret enemy. You walk the street and feel that you are standing among hostile people. Standing less than twelve months from the time when we gathered on this platform together, and looking back through a mist of hate that has arisen from this Klan business, like miasma from a morass, it is hard to visualize the town as it was a year ago, it is hard to call it back.”[34]
April 23, 1938 Jews in Vienna, Austria, were rounded up on the Sabbath by Nazis and forced to eat grass at the Prater, a local amusement park. Many of the victimized Jews suffered heart attacks and a few died.[35]
April 23, 1939: The police arrested 218 more illegal immigrants near Jaffa early this morning. The group that included fifty women and ten children had been put ashore by a Greek ship near Ashkelon. The British forces found them wandering in the dunes. They were taken to holding camps in Jaffa. Along the way, the convoy passed several Jewish settlements where the residents cheered these latest escapees from Hitler’s Europe.[36]
April 23, 1940: The Nazis ordered the Jews to jump in cesspool at the Stutthof Labor Camp. The short ones drown.[37]

NARRATIVE
On April 23, 1943 Mordecai Anielewicz the ZOB commander wrote the following to Yitzhak Zuckerman, a member of the ZOB command who was stationed on the "Aryan" side: "I cannot describe the conditions in which the Jews are living. Only a special few will hold out; all the others will perish sooner or later. Their fate is sealed. None of the bunkers where our comrades are hiding has enough air to light a candle at night.... Be well, my dear, perhaps we shall yet meet. The dream of my life has risen to become fact. Self - defense in the ghetto will have been a reality. I have been a witness to the magnificent, heroic fighting of Jewish men of battle". The rebels pursued their cause, even though they knew from the outset that they could not win. The Jewish underground would continue to fight the Nazis until the middle of May. The Polish underground only gave minimal help because of anti-Semitism prevalent among many. Although the Allies will neither publicize events nor try to help, even before the war ended, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising became a symbol of Jewish resistance.[38]
April 23, 1943: Much to everybody's surprise, the Warsaw Uprising continues even though supplies and weapons are at the bare minimum. By now the Poles know what is going on. They watch, but they offer no aid. The Polish underground will suffer a similar fate in 1945. Then they will rise up against the Nazis, but the Soviet troops wait outside the city giving the Germans to wipe the predominately non-Communist part of the resistance movement. As somebody once said, as you treat your Jews, so shall you be treated.[39]
April 23, 1948(14th of Nisan, 5708): Erev Pesach the rations given out in Jerusalem for the observance of Passover included 2 lbs. of potatoes, ½ lb of fish, 4 lb. of matzo, 1 ½ oz. dried fruit, ½ lb. meat, and ½ lb. of matzo flour. As one who was there later wrote, “For the trapped citizens of Jerusalem, who had become accustomed to privation, the Passover provisions seemed like a banquet. However, for the citizens of Jerusalem, it was not a particularly merry affair. On the verge of their national freedom, the inhabitants of Jerusalem sat somberly around their tables. This was the first time since the nightly shellings that the city's citizens had come together in assembly in the various homes throughout the city that had been the dream of two thousand years' Seders. Tonight is a holiday, but tomorrow the struggle will go on. As they sat to begin the Seder, they heard the beginning of the snipers bullets looking for a straggler in the streets. But tonight was different. As they opened the door, as they had done for scores of generations, to welcome in Elijah, there was no fear. Tonight is a night of divine protection. As the Holy One protected the Jews in Egypt, so shall he protect us here in the war torn city of Jerusalem. "Once we were slaves, but today we are free men" recited in the Haggadah, took on new meaning. The British are leaving, the Arabs are attacking, and we are beginning our new national lives as free men in our own country. "Next year in Jerusalem" had a meaning that we never before understood. We meant it; we would not relinquish our dream to return to our homeland, to the city that has been in our hearts throughout the two thousand year exile. Now we are free men, tomorrow we must continue the fight to remain free.[40]
April 23, 1961 New reports today disclose that Carlos Marcello is being held in custody
by Guatemalan authorities in connection with what are reported to be false citizenship papers he
presented upon his arrival there on April 6th. [41]
April 23, 1963 Marina Oswald moves in with Mrs. Ruth Paine in Irving.
Also on this day, Vice President Johnson announces that JFK will visit Texas in the
near future.
During a Washington meeting of The Special Group, RFK proposes a study on how to
cause “as much trouble as we can for Communist Cuba,” and to culminate in “overthrowing
Castro in eighteen months” - or in October 1964, one month before the U.S. presidential elections.
RFK also wants this proposed study to include “measure we should take following contingencies
such as the death of Castro.” [42]
April 23, 1973: Scamp arrived in Japan on April 23 and operated with the Seventh Fleet. [43]
April 23, 1992: By 1989, however, the Princess Royal (Princess and Anne) and Mark Phillips announced their intention to separate, as the marriage had been under strain for a number of years. The couple divorced on April 23, 1992.[11]
It was believed[by whom?] that the Queen had offered Phillips an earldom on his wedding day, as was customary for untitled men marrying into the Royal Family. However, Phillips did not accept the offer. The couple had two children, Peter Phillips and Zara Phillips, and so, unusually for the grandchildren of a monarch, they have no title. (However, they are not currently the only children of a British Princess to carry no title: the children of Princess Alexandra, the Queen's cousin, are also untitled.)[44]

[24] History of the Nineteenth Army Corps by Richard B. Irwin, 1892
[25] At 4:30 A.M. on the 23d, the cavalry, followed by Emory’s division, advanced toward the ferry and soon encountered Southern skirmishers. Arnold’s troopers pressed forward and drove them over the river. The Federals could now see clearly that the main enemy position, studded with artillery, was on te series of wooded bluffs overlooking the south bank of the Cane.(O. R., xxxiv, Part I, 439.)
The force confronting Emory consisted of some 1600 cavalry and four batteries, the whole detachment commanded by General Bee. Both Taylor and Wharton had impressed upon Bee the importance of holding Motett’s. With Bee in front of the Union Army, Wharton in its rear, Liddell covering the crossing of the Red at the mouth of Cane River, and Polignac blocking the road from Cloutierville, Taylor believed his forces were capable of giving the enemy serious trouble. (O. R., xxxiv, Part I, 580.) When the Union horsemen came out on to open ground opposite the ferry they were fired upon by Southern guns across the river. Thereupon Emory withdrew all but the dismounted men and threw forward a line of infantry skirmishers. The position was obviously too strong to approach frontally, except as a last resort. Colonel E. J. Davis was told to take his brigade of cavalry and move off to the left to see if the river could be crossed below the enemy position.(O. R., xxxiv, Part I, 262, 460.) Banks gave his chief officer the same assignmentl Meanwhile A. J. Smith was being very hard pressed by Wharton’s cavalry and Franklin received word that the rear guard might not be able to hold its ground.(Com. Con. War, pp. 15, 34-35.)
[26] Monett’s Ferry; Cane River Crossing , Louisiana, April 23, 1864: Near the end of the Red River Expedition, Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks’s army evacuated Grand Ecore and retreated to Alexandria, pursued by Confederate forces. Banks’s advance party, commanded by Brig. Gen. William H. Emory, encountered Brig. Gen. Hamilton P. Bee’s cavalry division near Monett’s Ferry (Cane River Crossing) on the morning of April 23. Bee had been ordered to dispute Emory’s crossing, and he placed his men so that natural features covered both his flanks. Reluctant to assault the Rebels in their strong position, Emory demonstrated in front of the Confederate lines, while two brigades went in search of another crossing. One brigade found a ford, crossed, and attacked the Rebels in their flank. Bee had to retreat. Banks’s men laid pontoon bridges and, by the next day, had all crossed the river. The Confederates at Monett’s Ferry missed an opportunity to destroy or capture Banks’s army.
