Storm team 4 radar, all the quite, thats the snow down to the south, Southern Maryland down towards fredericksburg took a while to change over but once it did its been snowing heavily down toward this area. You see it back to the west Winchester Hagerstown just about done with the snow. Still snow showers in through Loudoun County and out towards Montgomery County but along and east of i95 thats where the bulk of the snow remains. Thats where we could still pick up another 1 to 2 inches as far as thats concerned. As the snow continues to lessen in parts of the region look at our rockville camera. Heres 355. Ive been watching this camera all day. This is the best that 355 Rockville Pike has looked all afternoon. Some very good news there. The main roads will get a little better. As we go through the night tonight, everything will continue to freeze as temperatures drop. And Veronica Johnson is outside right now. Were talking act record cold temperatures and windchills. Thats right. Out
Enough to write a vast symphonic work, to inspire a magnificent novel and bring down a great emperor. On this day of battle more russians died than were killed or would die of illness in the whole of the war of 1812 on all sides. This really was a titanic clash of two emporers and two vast armies numbering close on 200,000 men each. The war of 1812 would not be fought by armies of 200,000 men. In fact, it wouldnt be fought by 200,000 men all told. As 1813 began James Madison knew that napoleon had lost. His army was in full retreat. Indeed, it was in complete collapse. He had taken his country to war on the premise the french would win. They had lost. Now what was going to happen . This also took the pressure off brittain and it released naval reinforcements from the british fleet in the baltic which had been keeping it open for trade the previous five years. Those ships and key personnel were moved across to the north american station. The british picked out the right ships and the ri
And the colonial marines is a e unit that resembles on a much m smaller scale the union color regiments of the civil war in that the officers are white men, but the enlisted men and the ncos are africanamericans. And they are being attracted into the service because theyr not being compelled to it, and indeed, as far as we can tell, f most of the runaways, indeed, tl including most of the men, dont choose to be colonial marines. H some may end up as sailors or ms others work more informally as guides. Many women worked as laundresses and nurses. Hem some of them are serving as paid servants for british officers rh and others go to work for the ts dockyard in bermuda. So theres a whole range of roles, and it is a subset of the men who are serving in the colonial marines and theyre not compelled to do this, though aro there is a great deal of t persuasion applied to encourage them to serve. By the and they are attracted by the fact they will be paid, they re will receive decent clothing
In the chesapeake and make it far more effective and destructive to the americans than had been their operation in 1813, when they did not have the same level of support and assistance from black americans. Now, this is an image that is produced. Im going to get this magic arrow out of the way, which is not part of the original image. You may recognize this structure. Its the u. S. Capitol building. This was produced in 1817 by a critic of american slavery, an american critic of american slavery named jesse torrey and jesse torrey wants you to think about the destruction of the Capitol Building and wants you to draw certain conclusions from it and those conclusions that he wants you to reach are indicated by the other figures hes put in this particular engraving. You can see down here in this right foreground, a group of enslaved africanamericans, a slave coffle. Washington, d. C. , was a slave fss a major center for the interstate slave trade of the United States, which is acceleratin
Considerations. He was well aware of balancing the different branches of the government and he never lost site of his state as all politicians of his generation took the same ground. He had a much more flexible conception of the constitution. Especially when the nation faced difficult conditions that demanded solutions. He understood are that the federal system was fragmented. And preserving the union required negotiation. The war of 1812 was as we said an example of the competing interests in different parts of the union. And in many ways it didnt succeed. Westerners made off better than the other regions they didnt get additional land from canada but as john stag mentioned they did get a lot of land from native americans. The english did not end impressment of sailors because of any pressure the United States had put on them they did it when they chose to do so. The war are had been waged by a union of regional republics with a loose allegiance to a different government, distant gove
