Morgan has left the agency. He was asked to resign. The Washington Post is also reporting the state departments entire Senior Management team has resigned. We want to go back to President Trumps plan now to deport undocumented immigrants. He signed an executive order that threatens to withhold federal grants from socalled sanctuary cities. The district is one of those cities. City officials threatened to sue the federal government if any funding is cut. Mark . Theres no question that d. C. Is a sanctuary city. D. C. Issues provisional drivers license to illegal residents. Police do not ask residency status. The mayor wants to create a Legal Defense fund for immigrants who need help defending their status. D. C. Gets 3. 5 billion a year in federal grants. Some of that is for Law Enforcement so its et more than 2 billion is medicaid matching funds. That leaves about 1 billion in annual federal grants d. C.

The report seemed credible to confederates because it confirmed the right over might. It would be written that Union Officers cheered for lee as he left the mclean house. A yankees dared not utter a single insulting word to the defeated rebels. Why were the yankees so reticent, even submissive, in victory . It is explained, they feared the lion even in chains. Lee, the lion, still commanding the deference and respect of northerners, and fear. In the year after the war confederates not only again and again invokes the overwhelming numbers interpretation of their defeat. They also invoked the appomattox terms, and particularly the remainundisturbed clause. They invoked in the clause as a shield against social change and a weapon in a looming battle over black civil rights. Republican efforts to give the free people a measure of inequality and opportunity and protection were met by confederate protests that such a radical agenda was a betrayal of the appomattox terms, the prospect of blac

Debates bond by appomattox debate spawned by appomattox. I will argue lee and grant represented distinct visions of what the honorable peace would look like. They were fundamentally incompatible, contrary to a myth. They represented fundamentally incompatible visions of what the peace would look like and why the war turned out the way it did.
