Black Slave Owner and Breeder in South Carolina ~ The Interesting Story of William Ellison
....William Ellison was one of the wealthiest men in the South as well as being a black, former slave. He owned cotton gins, plantations, and 68 slaves. And from accounts of the time, he wasn't very nice...At the peak of slavery in the United States, large numbers of free Negroes owned black slaves; in fact, in numbers disproportionate to their representation in society at large. In 1860 only a small minority of whites owned slaves. According to the U.S. census report for that last year before the Civil War, there were nearly 27 million whites in the country. Some 8 million of them lived in the slaveholding states. The census also determined that there were fewer than 385,000 individuals who owned slaves. Even if all slaveholders had been white, that would amount to only 1.4 percent of whites in the country (or 4.8 % of southern whites owning one or more slaves, however, around 30% for free blacks owned slaves).
In the rare instances when the ownership of slaves by free Negroes is acknowledged in the history books, justification centers on the claim that black slave masters were simply individuals who purchased the freedom of a spouse or child from a white slaveholder and had been unable to legally manumit them. Although this did indeed happen at times, it is a misrepresentation of the majority of instances, one which is debunked by records of the period on blacks who owned slaves. These include individuals such as Justus Angel and Mistress L. Horry, of Colleton District, South Carolina, who each owned 84 slaves in 1830. In fact, in 1830 a fourth of the free Negro slave masters in South Carolina owned 10 or more slaves; eight owning 30 or more.

Impeachment trial of President Trump | Jan. 29, 2020 (FULL LIVE STREAM)
House impeachment managers and President Trump’s lawyers have concluded their opening arguments in the Senate. The impeachment trial moves into the question period for both sides on Jan. 29, when senators submit questions in writing to Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. The chief justice will read questions out loud, alternating between the majority and minority for up to eight hours.
Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives in December for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Impeachment does not mean that the president has been removed from office. In the next phase, the Senate must hold a trial to make that determination. A Senate impeachment trial has happened only two other times in American history and once in the modern era. At the center of the Democrats’ case is that Trump sought to withhold military assistance and an Oval Office meeting until Ukraine announced investigations into former vice president Joe Biden and his son.

The Creole Affair: The Slave Rebellion that Led the U.S. and Great Britain to the Brink of War
Author Arthur Downey discusses the most successful slave rebellion in American history. Held against their will aboard the Creole–a slave ship on its way from Richmond to New Orleans in 1841–the rebels seized control of the ship and changed course to the Bahamas. Because the Bahamas were subject to British rule of law, the slaves were eventually set free, and their presence on foreign soil sparked one of America's most contentious diplomatic battles with the United Kingdom. A book signing follows the program.

Fort Buford
Fort Buford was a United States Army Post at the confluence of the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers in Dakota Territory, present day North Dakota, and the site of Sitting Bull's surrender in 1881.
Company C, 2nd Battalion, 13th Infantry, 3 officers, 80 enlisted men and 6 civilians commanded by Capt. (Brevet Lt. Col.) William G. Rankin, first established a camp on the site on June 15, 1866, with orders to build a post, the majority of which was built using adobe and cottonwood enclosed by a wooden stockade. The fort was named after the late Major General John Buford, a Union Army cavalry general during the American Civil War.

Fort Scott National Cemetery
Join along as we visit the Fort Scott National Cemetery in Fort Scott, Kansas.
Info below is from historic markers at cemetery..
FORT SCOTT NATIONAL CEMETERY
Civil War Fort Scott
Fort Scott, founded 1842, was named for former commander-in-chief of the U.S. Army, Gen. Winfield Scott. The army abandoned the fort in 1853, but the Civil War prompted federal troops to return in 1862. Fort Scott became the headquarters of the Department of Kansas and an important supply depot. Pro-Union supporters in Kansas—white, black, and American Indian—also found refuge here.
The first black regiment recruited in a Northern state, the 1st Kansas Colored Infantry, mustered into service at Fort Scott on January 13, 1863. The 2nd Kansas Colored Infantry was organized here in fall 1863 before departing for Arkansas.
Prior to this, in late October 1862, a group of 224 Union soldiers, seven officers, and several scouts—men who later served in the 1st Kansas Colored Infantry—left Fort Scott for Missouri in search of Confederates. They quickly found them. At Island Mound fighting lasted two days. The 1st Kansas “fought like tigers,” reported a Union lieutenant. It was the first of many battles where the regiment excelled.
National Cemetery
From 1842 to 1853, seventeen individuals were buried in the Fort Scott post cemetery. When the fort was reoccupied in 1862, the U.S. Army established a new area as Fort Scott National Cemetery for the internment of Union soldiers.
An 1867 law directed the secretary of war to appoint a “meritorious and trustworthy” superintendent to manage the national cemetery. To qualify for the position, the individual had to have been an enlisted man disabled in service. These restrictions were loosened over time. Absalom Hyde, formerly a captain in the 16th Kansas Calvary, was named superintendent here in July 1868.
The U.S. Army improved the cemetery in the 1870s. A stone wall enclosed the 5-acre property, which contained 492 internments, including fourteen Confederate prisoners. A brick Second Empire-style lodge housed the superintendent and his family. Prior to its completion, the superintendent lived in town.
Several notable Civil War soldiers are buried or memorialized in the cemetery. A large sandstone boulder marks the grave of Capt. Eugene F. Ware, 7th Iowa Calvary, who worked as a lawyer and author, known as “Ironquill,” after the war. He died in 1911 (west end of sections 10 and 13, Grave 1).
Also buried here are sixteen American Indian soldiers who enlisted in Union Indian Home Guard during the Civil War. These regiments were made up of loyal refugees who came to Kansas from Indian Territory (Oklahoma) in 1861 and 1862. The men served as scouts for other Union regiments.
A granite monument dedicated to soldiers of the 1st Kansas Colored Infantry and the 2nd Kansas Battery was erected here in 1984. It is inscribed with the names of eighteen men killed in battle near Sherwood, Missouri, on May 18, 1863.”

Lyrics and explanation -
Verse 1:
Controlled by France, then Spain, then France again
Napoleon, he made the call
Three cents per acre, take it all
Louisiana Purchase part of Jefferson's plan
Then Little Dixie on the river, mostly Upper South men
Started a slave state, part of the Compromise
Honey War with Iowa for our northern Line
St. Louis Massacre to stop a Confederate stand
Guerrilla fighting on Missouri land
Explanation of Verse 1:
The French explored and settled in what would later be the state of Missouri (MO) in the 1700s. At the end of the French and Indian War, France gave the land to Spain in exchange for their support. Spain returned the land to France in 1800.
In 1803, Napoleon Bonaparte sold the land to the United States for just under three cents per acre in a transaction that was called the Louisiana Purchase.
Thomas Jefferson (U.S. President at the time) was in office and struck the deal despite controversy over whether or not it was constitutional for the U.S. government to purchase land.
After the purchase, U.S. settlers started moving to MO from the Upper South (the upper most states that were still considered to be operating like southern states at the time). Many of these settlers brought slaves to MO and started agricultural endeavours along the Missouri River. This area was referred to as Little Dixie.
MO was admitted as a slave state in 1821 as part of the Missouri Compromise. Maine was admitted at the same time as a free state. Also, the compromise stated that territories north/west of MO, if admitted as states, would be free states.
In the 1830s MO had an ongoing border dispute with Iowa over the Honey Lands - a strip of border land. The resulting Honey War was bloodless, but both sides called up militias in anticipation of fighting over the land. The U.S. government finally made the decision about where the border should be (mostly in Iowa's favor) and defined the Sullivan Line.
At the beginning of the Civil War, though the state's population was mostly aligned with the Union, the Confederate-minded Governor of MO called for troops to fight for the south. Union General Lyon entered MO, captured these soldiers and marched them into the streets of St. Louis. Many of those soldiers were killed. This is referred to as the St. Louis Massacre. This massacre set the tone for Missouri's role in the Civil War. While there was very little offical fighting in MO, soldiers on both sides used guerilla tactics.
Chorus:
You're gonna have to show me
I'm from Missouri
I'm not convinced by frothy eloquence
Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery
From the Mississippi
Open this Gateway to the West
In Independence we begin on the Oregon Trail
Or by pony we can quickly get the mail
From St. Joseph to our settlers not close to the rail
Hey Missouri - we're the 24th expansion tale
Explanation of the Chorus:
Verse 2:
Our named river runs west to east
Across our middle giving salus
Kansas City to St. Louis
Yeah, Jefferson City in between
North and west are rolling plains and our many streams
South to the Ozarks a dissected plateau
A midwest state where southern crops did grow
The Platte Purchase - bought us - our windy piece
North and west of Platte City (adding Platte City)
Explanation of Verse 2:
Bridge:
Tu-wheet-tudu
A song the eastern bluebird will sing for you
While the flowering dogwood has colors to choose
Dogwood - has flowers to lose
Tu-wheet-tudu
This hawthorn - can grow twenty feet too
So let the welfare of the people show us the truth
And be the law that will guide us through
Explanation of the Bridge:
Verse 3:
Trade grew in St. Louis
Filled Louisiana orders
From our eastern river border
After Civil War, an industrial boost
Add manufacturing jobs to our - produce
Railroads in Kansas City to the west
A destination for cattle from Texas
Built up highways - allowing the people to choose
Their suburban avenues

Cargill
Cargill, Incorporated, is an American privately held, multinational corporation based in Minnetonka, Minnesota, a Minneapolis suburb. Founded in 1865, it is now the largest privately held corporation in the United States in terms of revenue. If it were a public company, it would rank, as of 2013, number 9 on the Fortune 500, behind Valero Energy and ahead of Ford Motor Company.
Some of Cargill's major businesses are trading, purchasing and distributing grain and other agricultural commodities, such as palm oil; trading in energy, steel and transport; the raising of livestock and production of feed; producing food ingredients such as starch and glucose syrup, vegetable oils and fats for application in processed foods and industrial use. Cargill also operates a large financial services arm, which manages financial risks in the commodity markets for the company. In 2003, it split off a portion of its financial operations into a hedge fund called Black River Asset Management, with about $10 billion of assets and liabilities. It owned 2/3 of the shares of The Mosaic Company (sold off in 2011), one of the world's leading producers and marketers of concentrated phosphate and potash crop nutrients.

Behind Farm to Table: The Labor of Farming
(Visit: In “Behind ‘Farm to Table’: The Labor of Farming,” a panel of farmers, chefs, and farm advocates address the challenges of 21st century farming, including attracting a younger generation to this notoriously difficult field. With more farms per capita than any other county in the United States, San Diego is poised to lead on connecting urban and rural communities by encouraging consumers to buy locally grown produce and to support farm-friendly public policies that benefit the entire region. This event is presented by the Berry Good Food Foundation.
