Today in History 09/03 (Frederick Douglass)

September 3, 2018 by GµårÐïåñ
Daguerreotype portrait of Frederick Douglass circa 1848 (© Fotosearch/Getty Images)(1838) Frederick Douglass escapes slavery, heads north to freedom
Born a slave in Maryland, future statesman and abolitionist Frederick Douglass makes his third attempt to escape his bonds and head north. Dressed as a sailor and carrying false identification papers, he boards a train in Baltimore and in 24 hours will arrive at a safe house in New York City.
Frederick Douglass was an American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman. After escaping from slavery in Maryland, he became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York, gaining note for his oratory and incisive antislavery writings. In his time, he was described by abolitionists as a living counter-example to slaveholders’ arguments that slaves lacked the intellectual capacity to function as independent American citizens. Northerners at the time found it hard to believe that such a great orator had once been a slave.

Bandleader Tommy Dorsey made a good choice when he picked a skinny Hoboken kid as his singer, but Dorsey’s insistence on a contract for one-third royalties on all lifetime earnings has the singer itching to go solo. Frank Sinatra does just that, as Dorsey replaces him with Dick Haymes.

Detail of the signatures on The Definitive Treaty of Peace Between Great Britain and the United States, dated Sept 3, 1783 (© AP)(1783) Great Britain officially loses its rebellious colonies
The Treaty of Paris is signed, granting Great Britain's former colonies freedom, and ending an 8-year war. Benjamin Franklin and John Adams are in the French capital acting for the United States, while Britain has sent a delegation that will refuse to sit for the official portrait.

The Treaty of Paris, signed in Paris by representatives of King George III of Great Britain and representatives of the United States of America on September 3, 1783, ended the American Revolutionary War. The treaty set the boundaries between the British Empire in North America and the United States, on lines "exceedingly generous" to the latter. Details included fishing rights and restoration of property and prisoners of war.

This treaty and the separate peace treaties between Great Britain and the nations that supported the American cause — France, Spain, and the Dutch Republic — are known collectively as the Peace of Paris. Only Article 1 of the treaty, which acknowledges the United States' existence as free sovereign and independent states, remains in force.

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.
