  • In May of 1863, the Confederate Congress passed a joint resolution that formalized Davis's proclamation that black soldiers taken prisoner would not be subject to the prisoner exchange.
  • On July 30, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued General Orders 252, which effectively suspended the Dix-Hill Cartel until the Confederate forces agreed to treat black prisoners the same as white prisoners.

    Article from the National Park Service on the political dispute that ended prisoner exchanges during the Civil War.  The end of these exchanges led to large, dangerous POW camps.  Political dispute was about the Confederate refusal to return black POWs.

    A History Day project which earned Honorable Mention at the state level in Massachusetts, this 10-minute documentary does a nice job of summarizing the effects of "glasnost" and "perestroika" as well as tracing nationalism and ethnic conflict and how all these things led to the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

    Awesome collection of primary source music and recordings. Teachers can create and save playlists. I don't think music can be downloaded though.

  • But a maidan now means in Ukrainian what the Greek word agora means in English: not just a marketplace where people happen to meet, but a place where they deliberately meet, precisely in order to deliberate, to speak, and to create a political society
  • protests, until then entirely peaceful, became violent. Yanukovych lost support

  • Yanukovych rescinded most of the dictatorship laws, lawless violence by the regime, which started in November, continued into February
  • h the hope that Ukraine could one day join the European Union, an aspiration that for many Ukrainians means something like the rule of law, the absence of fear, the end of corruption, the social welfare state, and free markets without intimidatio
  • a rival project, based in Moscow, called the Eurasian Union.
  • Putin wants Ukraine in his Eurasian Union, which means that Ukraine must be authoritarian, which means that the Maidan must be crushed.
  • dictatorship laws of January 16 were obviously based on Russian models
  • The Eurasian Union is the enemy of the European Union, not just in strategy but in ideology.
  • Rather than rejecting totalitarian ideologies, Eurasianism calls upon politicians of the twenty-first century to draw what is useful from both fascism and Stalinism.
  • taken Putin’s campaign against gay rights and transformed it into a weapon against European integration
  • Apart from the Jews, whose suffering was by far the worst, the main victims of Nazi policies were not Russians but Ukrainians and Belarusians.
  • After Stalin’s death communism took on a more and more ethnic coloration, with people who wished to revive its glories claiming that its problem was that it had been spoiled by Jews. The ethnic purification of the communist legacy is precisely the logic of National Bolshevism, which is the foundational ideology of Eurasianism today.
  • Ukraine is not a theater for the historical propaganda of others or a puzzle from which pieces can be removed. It is a major European country whose citizens have important cultural and economic ties with both the European Union and Russia. To set its own course, Ukraine needs normal public debate, the restoration of parliamentary democracy, and workable relations with all of its neighbors.
