Times suggested that visitors postpone their excursions until construction was finished. (On August 8, the
Washington Post could report only that the exhibitions were “practically” in place.) The
Times also bemoaned Norfolk’s limited and expensive lodgings and its poor transportation services. There were other problems, too. Organizers had originally intended to focus on Virginia history, but in pursuit of a more national and international audience, they changed the program, causing more confusion and missed deadlines.
A Virginia building featured presidential art and there was a re-enactment of the Battle of Hampton Roads (1862) between the ironclads CSS
Monitor. The state of Kentucky, however, also built a $40,000 replica of Daniel Boone’s first fort, and Georgia reproduced Bulloch Hall, the home of Mittie Bulloch Roosevelt, President Theodore Roosevelt’s mother. In addition, the Dominican Republic sponsored a building, and the governments of Argentina, Brazil, Bol

Plot
The Known World has no real plot; rather, it glides back and forth in time, zooming in on the lives of its characters. Set in fictional Manchester County, Virginia, the story begins with the premature death of Henry Townsend. A former slave whose freedom is bought by his father Augustus, Townsend comes to own thirty-three slaves. In one scene, he admits to making his first purchase, and his parents are horrified. (Augustus, a carpenter and walking-stick carver, once used a boxed shipment of his sticks to smuggle a runaway slave to freedom, a vignette that echoes the true story of Henry Box Brown.) When Henry tells Augustus of his purchase, the father replies, “You could not have hurt me more if you had cut off my arms and my legs.” He then attacks Henry with one of his sticks, breaking his shoulder.

Marcus is a bit of an outsider. He s an introvert and, like a lot of young men, struggling with a lot of feelings that he doesn t quite know how to handle. As a result, it sort of turns into some untoward behavior and a lot of anger. He is a sort of person who has a lot of masks around. A lot of young guys put up as many masks so they can to try to keep people about at arm s length as much as they can. Through the series and through getting to know Ginny, the audience can kind of see those masks break down, Felix told

Judicial Review? No. Nullification
“Acts of congress, to be binding, must be made pursuant to the constitution; otherwise they are not laws, but a mere nullity.” -St. George Tucker
“There is no danger I apprehend so much as the consolidation of our government by the noiseless, and therefore unalarming instrumentality of the Supreme Court.” -Thomas Jefferson
As a pro-life Jeffersonian, I am constantly frustrated by the endless line of pro-life activists who talk about the Supreme Court overturning
Roe v. Wade.[1] There are multiple reasons this irks me. For one thing, the Supreme Court will never overturn
Roe because its members are dedicated to the preservation of precedent. Add on top of that the absurd kangaroo courts that Senate confirmation hearings have become, with their character assassinations and incessant prattling about the vital importance of
