Lee Harvey Oswald Arrested for Kennedy Murder


At first he told the police that had nothing to do with it.  He said he was eating lunch at the time of the shooting.  He also denied the murder of Police Officer Tibbit.  As the policeman had crossed Harvey's path in the aftermath of the murder, he had been gunned down, too.

For more information on the Kennedy Assassination here is an installment from The Warren Report by Chief Justice Earl Warren, future President Gerald Ford, and other senior statesmen: http://dld.bz/eeKeB

We Once Met

 
 
Hi Main Blog,

We met at a networking event some time ago and though it has been awhile, I just thought I would check back with you and see how you were doing.

As for me, you can see from the header at the top and the bottom, I've been busy.  On the side, I have my own blog History Moments, since I've always been interested in history.

So, what have you been up to?

How Big Was the City of Constantinople?

When Emperor Constantine finished building, it was actually small.  During the time of the Roman Empire, "Among the great cities of the ancient world its size was smaller than Babylon and Thebes. It yields to ancient Rome, to the 18th. century London, and even to Paris." Thus Edward Gibbon.

It stayed that way for a long time. Future emperors expanded it but that was in the far future.  More on Constantine's size and features here at ourmain history blog

What Would World History Post on Facebook?

From Our Humor Department:

Renaissance: Hey, I just woke up. What's up?
Dark Ages: You slept too long, bro!
Middle Ages: You spent too much time on MySpace.
Ice Ages: I thought that I had killed that off.
Renaissance: Alright. Just finished a cup of jo. Let's go paint something, or invent something, or explore somewhere. What's out west?

Got any additions to the conversation?

Before Constantine, the first town there was actually begun in 656 BC.  The great waters around the city connect Leander of ancient Greece with Lord Byron of 19th. century England how?

Remembering Last Night's Attack on Paris

French President Hollande declared that the attacks were an of war on France by ISIS
According to the Associated Press,

In a televised Friday night address he appealed to citizens to maintain "a determined France, a united France, a France that joins together and a France that will not allow itself to be staggered, even if today there is infinite emotion faced with this disaster, this tragedy, which is an abomination, because it is barbarism."

As France goes to war again, we remember the past wars of France.  Here is our continuing series on France's Wars.

The Pilgrims' First Winter

Conclusion of our series on The Pilgrims Settle Plymouth.  The Mayflower Compact having been concluded, the Pilgrims construct their rude settlement and attempt to survive the winter of 1620-1621.  The weather was mild for Massachusetts but severe compared to Holland.  The Pilgrims had been weakened by the privations of their voyage and by the exploratory phase of their undertaking; death ensued.  Their settlement did not begin until December! 

While not so much in fashion now, their values formed a huge part of the beginning of American civilization.

New Series Pilgrims Settle Plymouth

Unfashionable today as they were then (how history travels in circles!) the Puritans came to The New World to create a society that would honor God as they saw it. Their zeal and dedication carried them through terrible hardships. Setting high goals, it tempts the hypocrisy haters to focus on the gaps between actual achievements and goals. But even if there is a little bit of Don Quixote in their aspirations, was it still better to try and fail than to not try at all?

For 8 years, they resided in Leyden, Holland.  Unhappy there, they decided to emigrate with a “great hope and inward zeal of laying some good foundation for the propagating and advancing of the Gospel of the Kingdom of Christ in these remote parts of the world; yea, though they should be but as stepping-stones to others for performing of so great a work.”


New series Pilgrims Settle Plymouth starts here: http://historyweblog.com/2015/10/where-pilgrims-go/

Our series on Henry VIII Takes Over the Church Continues

As Henry VIII consolidates his takeover of the Church in England, Scotland, and Wales his popularity wanes.  His official in charge of the takeover is Thomas Cromwell. 


“Beknaved” by the King, whose confidence in him waned as he discerned the full meaning of the religious changes which Cromwell had brought about, met too by a growing opposition in the council as his favor declined, the temper of the man remained indomitable as ever. He stood absolutely alone.
