(1400) Welsh rebels declare Glyndŵr the Prince of Wales
1400 Heading up a Welsh rebellion against England, Owain Glyndŵr accepts the title Prince of Wales from his followers. Fifteen years of struggle to gain independence for Wales will follow as England imposes massive economic sanctions designed to strangle the economy and quell the rebellion..
The Glyndŵr Rising, Welsh Revolt or Last War of Independence was an uprising of the Welsh between 1400 and 1415, led by Owain Glyndŵr, against England. It was the last major manifestation of a Welsh independence movement before the incorporation of Wales into England by the Laws in Wales Acts 1535–1542.

(1620) English separatists embark for North America
Some 130 passengers and crew gird themselves for the long journey ahead as the Mayflower sails out of Plymouth, England, and heads west. What follows will be an arduous 60-plus-day voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to what the Pilgrims hope is a fresh start in America. . 1620
The Mayflower was the ship that transported the first English Separatists, known today as the Pilgrims, from Plymouth to the New World in 1620. There were 102 passengers, and the crew is estimated to have been about 30, but the exact number is unknown. This voyage has become an iconic story in some of the earliest annals of American history, with its story of death and of survival in the harsh New England winter environment. The culmination of the voyage in the signing of the Mayflower Compact was an event which established a rudimentary form of democracy, with each member contributing to the welfare of the community.

(1920) Manhattan’s Financial District rocked by terrorist bombing
1920 On New York City’s Wall Street, a horse-drawn wagon stops across from the JP Morgan Bank and its cargo of 100 pounds of dynamite explodes, throwing 500 pounds of shrapnel into the crowd, killing 38 and wounding 143. Later, Italian anarchists will become the prime suspects in the terrorist act..
The Wall Street bombing occurred at 12:01 pm on September 16, 1920, in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City. The blast killed 30 people immediately, and another eight died later of wounds sustained in the blast. There were 143 seriously injured, and the total number of injured was in the hundreds. The bombing was never solved, although investigators and historians believe the Wall Street bombing was carried out by Galleanists, a group responsible for a series of bombings the previous year. The attack was related to postwar social unrest, labor struggles, and anti-capitalist agitation in the United States.

Date: Sep 16, 1920

deviantArt profile for GµårÐïåñ on deviantArt

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
