Abolitionists attacked Southern slaveholders as "sinners" for keeping slaves; Northerners who weren't abolitionists largely believed that these same slaveholders were lazy for living off the sweat of others. In response, Southern slaveholders and their sympathizers claimed that slavery was good for not only for slaveholders, but also for Yankees who made and wore cotton clothes. Moreover slaveholders argued that slavery was good for slaves themselves.

Since Southerners felt that slavery was postive for the nation while Northerners felt it was negative for the nation it is argued by many historians that social forces brought about the violence that occurred in May, 1856. (Keep in mind that the pro-slavery forces' raid on Lawrence, Kansas, Sumner's caning, and the murders orchestrated by Brown at Pottawatomie Creek all happened in less than one week. The telegraph moved news quickly.) Others assert that individuals such as Brown and Brooks drove events. Yet another claim is that social forces and individuals cannot be separted from each other when making arguments about why historical events occurred.

The town council of Hérouxville, a sleepy community dominated by a towering Roman Catholic Church, has adopted a declaration of "norms" that it says would-be immigrants should be aware of before they settle here.
Among them, it is forbidden to stone women or burn them with acid. Children cannot carry weapons to school. That includes ceremonial religious daggers such as kirpans even though the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that Sikhs can carry kirpans in schools.However, children can swim in a pool with boys and girls alike, because they can't be segregated.
And for the record, female police officers in Hérouxville, 165 kilometres northwest of Montreal, can arrest male suspects. Also part of the declaration is to allow women to drive, dance and make decisions on their own.
"We're telling people who we are," said André Drouin, one of six town councillors and the driving force behind the declaration passed earlier this month.

The Roosevelt Medal was issued by President Theodore Roosevelt to Panama canal workers who completed 2 or more years of satisfactory service on the project.

The medals were minted from copper and bronze salvaged from excavation equipment abandon by the French who sold the project to the Americans in 1903, due to bankrupcy.

Each medal supposedly had the name of the recipient inscribed on it. There were thousands issued. There must be a written record of names for the recipients in existence somewhere.

I don't recall seeing anything in print regarding the technique for composing and using the "Ben Franklin" list which bears his name. Where among his writings might this information be found?
