The Baltimore Exchange
''The Baltimore Exchange'' was a newspaper based in Baltimore, Maryland during the Civil War. History On August 12, 1861, ''The New York Times'' published parts of a letter purportedly from John L. Hodsen, the Adjutant-General of the State of Maine, in which he observed troops from Maine with handcuffs nooses to hang traitors. With the ''Baltimore Exchang''e described in the article by the ''Times'' as "the organ of the aristocratic wing of the Secessionists of that City," the exchange argued the letter proved that "thirty thousand handcuffs were found with the Union Army." The op-ed claimed that the story was described as a "feeble attempt to vindicate Beauregard's infamous falsehood" by the ''Baltimore Exchange''. On August 21, 1861, the ''Baltimore Exchange'' published a letter from Washington at the start of the Civil War arguing that "No one here believes for a moment that it is any part of the Confederate plan to attack the intrenchments and defences opposite Washington - ...

American Civil War
The American Civil War (April 12, 1861 – May 26, 1865; also known by other names) was a civil war in the United States. It was fought between the Union ("the North") and the Confederacy ("the South"), the latter formed by states that had seceded. The central cause of the war was the dispute over whether slavery would be permitted to expand into the western territories, leading to more slave states, or be prevented from doing so, which was widely believed would place slavery on a course of ultimate extinction. Decades of political controversy over slavery were brought to a head by the victory in the 1860 U.S. presidential election of Abraham Lincoln, who opposed slavery's expansion into the west. An initial seven southern slave states responded to Lincoln's victory by seceding from the United States and, in 1861, forming the Confederacy. The Confederacy seized U.S. forts and other federal assets within their borders. Led by Confederate President Jefferson ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

John L
John Lasarus Williams (29 October 1924 – 15 June 2004), known as John L, was a Welsh nationalist activist. Williams was born in Llangoed on Anglesey, but lived most of his life in nearby Llanfairpwllgwyngyll. In his youth, he was a keen footballer, and he also worked as a teacher.
