#OTD in 1865 Gen. William T. Sherman’s army is rained in while in #Savannah, Georgia, delaying the march through the Carolinas. 
During the fall of 1864 Sherman’s troops destroyed everything in their path as they marched across #Georgia. They destroyed railroads, stole livestock, and famously burned most of #Atlanta.
After capturing Savannah just before Christmas, they stopped for 3 weeks to rest and resupply, during which time Sherman made his headquarters at the Green-Meldrim House. After resting they planned to head north through the #Carolinas.
#OTD in 1861, Hawaiian King Kamehameha IV declared neutrality after the outbreak of the Civil War. Allying with the United States would have provoked Confederate raids while recognizing the Confederacy would have seriously damaged international relations with the U.S.
King Kamehameha IV died on November 30, 1863, and was succeeded by Kamehameha V Lot Kapuāiwa. He wanted to keep favorable trade deals with the United States and worked diplomatically with the Lincoln administration to negotiate a new treaty of neutrality.
The Hawaiian public skewed toward the United States. Hawaii already abolished slavery in the Constitution of 1852. Many Hawaiian-born Americans (most of whom were the sons of American missionaries) supported the United States over the Confederacy.

We should ask ourselves what #Decolonization means to Muslims, Jews, Roma, Afro/ Asian Europeans, People of Colour, LGBTIQ community, CSO's, EU institutions, policy makers of #Europe.
We must decolonise our structures that drive discrimination to built an inclusive Europe.

#Decolonization is essential to address structural racism in EU Member States.
Toppling statues of criminals & racist colonialists is essential to make Europe future proof just as education on the real colonial history of Europe. #BlackLivesMattters

From #Roosevelt to #Churchill to #LeopoldII: they are visible monuments to the greatest crime in history: #Colonialism.
Therefore, we must prioritise #decolonization to topple the invisible monuments that make our society so structurally racist. #Europe

Again, I have no respect; no admiration; no reverence for the #confederacy . Their goal was the continued enslavement, raping, murder, separating of families and oppression of my people. This is the heritage of the confederacy - there is no romanticizing that. #blacklivesmatter
On Nov. 13, 1862, the Confederate government advertised in the Charleston Daily Courier for 20 or 30 “able bodied Negro men” to work in the new nitre beds at Ashley Ferry, S.C. “The highest wages will be paid monthly,” the ad stated.
It was odious work. The nitre beds were large rectangles of rotted manure and straw, moistened weekly with urine, “dung water,” and liquid from privies, cesspools and drains, and turned over regularly, according to accounts at the time.

"I just don't get it.The way they did it in older cities,you had neighborhoods that were ethnically segregated.Specific to different wage groups or different ethnicity. It will not be attractive to higher income people, so that'll kind of keep a lid on it"
