Baptism
.... Sin will no longer rule over me for my old self has been buried. I have been resurrected by the power of God to live a new life in Christ Jesus”. Through Baptism we are given our Christian name by our parents, which is blessed by the priest, or deacon, using the Trinitarian Formula.

At this moment young Colonel Sartoris Snopes (whose very names pit the aristocratic, land-owning rich against the tenant farmer poor) is ushered into the rea .....

Baseball In The Civil War
.... ambushed.
In the north the came continued to be played even though the majority of the men were off fighting. Teams from New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia often traveled to other towns to play games. This helped to keep moral up at home. Kirsch does mention that those men that stayed behind to play baseball were not looked upon badly in any way.

Baseball, History Of
.... the Brotherhood of Professional Base Ball Players launched its own Players’ League in 1890. When the players’ financial backers sold them out to the National League, baseball owners triumphed and ruled organized baseball virtually unchallenged for eighty-five years. They were aided by a series of bizarre Supreme Court rulings that baseball was not interstate commerce and therefore not bound by federal antitrust law.
In 1975 and arbitrator ruled that the reserved clause applied for only o .....

Battle Of Gettysburg
.... the AOP won. What circumstances changed to enable the AOP to transform
a long string of defeats into a great victory? The odds were certainly against them
in many ways. The AOP had become accustomed to losing. Fresh from two
devastating defeats within the past six months, the AOP was chasing a seemingly
invincible fighting machine. To heighten the odds against the blue underdogs,
they were given a new commander, Major General George Meade, only four days
before they were to fight what would bec .....

Battle Of Gettysburg 2
.... Confederate victory, Lee, who had arrived late that afternoon, sent his second corp under General Ewell to attack the Union army. Ewell decided to hold his ground, which is characterized as the mistake that cost the fight, battle, and maybe even their independence. Ewell also decided to stop pushing the Union army back, which would have given him the advantage of having the high ground. Hours later, General Lee said, “If I had Stonewall Jackson at Gettysburg, I would have won that fight; and .....

Battle Of Hurtgen Forest
.... the Germans to the north could release the Roer's Dams and flood the valley. The forest without Roer's dams was completely useless. The real objective should have been the Dams, which would have been a priceless asset to the Allies. The plan of attack was also severely flawed, turning the campaign into one of the most useless battles in the European Theater of Operations.
On September 19, the 3rd Armored and 9th Infantry Divisions began the attack. Lieutenants and captains soon found that controlli .....

Battle Of Shiloh

Repeated Rebel attacks failed to carry the Hornets Nest, but massed artillery helped to turn the tide as Confederates surrounded the Union troops and captured, killed, or wounded most. Johnston had been mortally wounded earlier and his second in command, Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard, took over. The Union troops established another line covering Pittsburg Landin .....

Battle Of The Bulge

Infantry reported hearing the sound of tanks and trucks coming from the German side. But the officers told them it was just the sound of the Germans playing the sound on the phonograph records.
