Identifying your posts for what they are requires no calming down afterwards. Nor does pointing out Southron hypocrisy.
So you claim legal secession is impossible?
Sort of explains why the Deep South expected and started a Second Revolution, doesn't it?
And your point is? Those people you mentioned rebelled against their soverign State. What's the problem with a State putting down insurgents? There's a difference between insurgents who have no legal rights and the States who seceded, who had a legal right to do so. Especially Virginia, who was one of the original States and who derived it's rights as a soverign State directly from the Victory over the English Crown.
Speaking of Virginia, let's take it for an example. I'm originally from Western VA (not West VA) and know full well about those who sided with the Union. Problem is, they were out voted by the rest of the State in the desire to secede. Virginia left the Union after a vote of the State delegates to do so. Those who rebelled against their State's decision had no legal right to do so.
If you want to say that the CW was a war to determine the fate of the Union, I have no problem with that, as if seven of the original thirteen signators had seceded, the Union would have been legally dead. But don't try to say this was a War over just Slavery. There was more at stake than what we've been taught lately.
This is a hand-wave based upon subjective criteria. The States that did the seceding obviously thought otherwise after considerable deliberation and argument. Hence, their grounds were every bit the same as those who signed the Declaration. Thus, empty hand-wave.
I don't see anyone here disputing that. It was more than just slavery - it was the leaders of the south thumbing their noses at the rest of the country and proclaiming, "We'll have our slavery if we have to destroy the whole country to keep it!"
Nice guys.
Blah blah blah. Was World War II a war of Anglo-Saxon aggression against Germany? Why not, they invaded Normandy didn't they?
The invasion of Kentucky was a counter to other events and designed to keep the fighting out of Tennessee. It wasn't a campaign designed to capture territory so much as a campaign to keep the fighting out of CSA territory.
How about Maryland for one and IIRC, wasn't Delaware also a Pro-slavery State?
The more I read about this mess, the more I see that the Civil War was destined to occure from the very beginning due to the way the slave trade provision in the USC is worded.
You keep saying that the South was trying to destroy the Union. Why can't you just admit that they weren't trying to destroy the Union so much as trying to leave it? Is it really so hard to admit that the Union could have continued on without the South?
The U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power to put down insurrections. Did the Virginia Constitution give that same power to her governor?
Theres a difference between insurgents who have no legal rights and the States who seceded, who had a legal right to do so. Especially Virginia, who was one of the original States and who derived its rights as a soverign State directly from the Victory over the English Crown.
There was no legal right to secede unilaterally.
Yes they did. They formed themselves into the reorganized legislature of the Commonwealth of Virginia, were recognized by Congress as the legitimate government of Virginia, and voted to partition themselves. Nothing illegal or unconstitutional about it.
But dont try to say this was a War over just Slavery. There was more at stake than what weve been taught lately.
For the South, defense of slavery was the reason for their rebellion. You may find that inconvenient but the writings and speeches of the people of the time bear that out.
If southern (confederate) leaders had had even an ounce of decency they would have negotiated their way out of the union instead of cut~n~running the way that they did.
They showed that they didn't give a hoot about anyone - even their own citizens that they put into peril.
How could the union ever have peace with such dispicable neighbors?
If they had a legal right to seceded, why didn't they go though a legal means instead of just a few leaders in the State saying as such and attacking federal property like forts? Why didn't they take the secession before Congress as outlined in the Articles of Confederation and upheld in Article VI of the Constitution?
Frankly, I'm not certain about the VA Constitution. I would assume that it gives the governor the power to put down insurrections, but I'm not positive on that point.
You keep saying that there's no legal right to secede unilaterally. Why? It's not a power given to the Federal Government by the USC, so why isn't there a right to secede unilaterally?
I would suggest that Congress, by recognizing a group of individuals who were not elected, were usurping Virginia's rights of self representation and self rule that all soverign States possess. In effect, it was illegal and unconstitutional because the State of Virginia was no longer a part of the Union and therefore not under the representation of Congress.
Frankly, I don't find the slavery issue inconvenient so much as distracting. I have the feeling that many in this discussion would be siding with the South if the issue of chattel slavery were removed, yet because of this issue the true issue for me, State's rights, is ignored or down played.
Bluntly put, I take the position that chattel slavery is evil but not the worst evil out there and blacks in America have whined about it for long enough. Every race, nation and people on this earth have held and been held as chattel slaves at one point in time or another and I'm sick of hearing about how bad America in general and Southerners in particular are so evil for ever being involved, especially considering the fact that even under chattel slavery here in America, where they were considered little more than property, their condition could have been much, much worse if they had been sold to a Muslim.
Want to impress me about your dedication to seeing the evils of slavery eradicated? Begin pointing out how Islam not only allows slavery, even today, but encourages it and WE finance it by our continued reliance on foreign oil. Begin pushing for the eradication of Islam from the face of this earth due to it's truly evil nature and then I'll be impressed. Until then, save your breath and don't waste my time.
All that being said, don't take this post as personal N-S, you've been cordial and well thought out in all of my dealings with you, even though I disagree with your assumptions and conclusions. More of less I'm just getting fed up with the whole Southerner=Racist meme that seems to prevade these threads just under the surface.
I will be back in Western Va (not West VA) next week.
Beautiful country, even in winter.
paladin1_dcs: "Those who rebelled against their States decision had no legal right to do so."
So obviously, you will not project our Founding Fathers' Declaration of Independence language, about Creator provided rights to overthrow unjust governments, onto Southern Union sympathizers, right?
paladin1_dcs: "But dont try to say this was a War over just Slavery.
There was more at stake than what weve been taught lately."
No there wasn't. It was only slavery -- nothing else was politically important enough to cause the Deep South to first secede, then start a war against the Union.
But don't believe me on this -- read what the Confederacy's founders wrote in their Causes of Secession documents.
Using James Madison's criteria for a legal dissolution of the Union there was:
And so the Deep South began seceding "at pleasure" in late 1860, immediately following the election of the anti-slavery Republican President and Congress.
But only seven states joined the Confederacy.
That's because slavery was only important enough to those seven states to cause secession.
The Upper South and Border States all refused to join, until Davis ordered the attack on Fort Sumter.
Even then, only the Upper South switched sides.
Slavery was just not important enough in the Border States (Missouri, Kentucky, West VA, Maryland & Delaware) to drive them into the Confederacy.
I'll repeat what I've said elsewhere: consider the proverbial camel whose back was broken by a straw.
I'm saying 95% of the weight on that camel's back was slavery, and the "straw" was the election of anti-slavery Republicans and Abraham Lincoln.
All of the other issues combined could not possibly have driven the Deep South to secede -- could not have broken the camel's back.
Idiotic comment.
Their reasons, as explained in their Causes of Secession documents, were nearly all slavery related.
And none were in any way different in December 1860 from what they had been for many years before.
And yet those same conditions did not cause secession all those years -- until the election of more Republicans in November 1860 made the Deep South fear for slavery's future.
As for Declaration-of-Independence type complaints: if you read those Secession documents carefully, it all boils down to just one truly serious item:
the Federal Government had failed to vigorously enough enforce Fugitive Slave laws in Northern states.
So, for the secessionists, it was all about slavery.
It was really only about slavery.
These neo-Yankees are have proven their fascist leanings over the years. Go back thru the archives, they have been at this Southern bashing for a long time. When somebody stands up to their BS they play the race card, right on que. Somebody needs to explain what Free Republic is to them, for the 1,000,000th / time. I wish they would go to the DU where they would fit right in.
Well I was thinking of you...
So you say, others say different. For example, you might check out Ditto's post #224.
But here's the key point:
Until Davis ordered the attack on Fort Sumter, all of the Upper South and Border States (even North Carolina!) had decided to stay with the Union and not join the Slave-State Confederacy.
So Davis' attack on Fort Sumter was, literally, a War of Southern Aggression against the Union.
And it succeeded brilliantly -- in one stroke nearly doubling the Confederacy's size and population.
The South then sent Southern forces into all of the Union Border States (except Delaware), and territories -- territories on which the South had no conceivable claim.
So, for all of 1861 and beyond, it was almost entirely a War of Southern Aggression against the Union, a war in which Kentucky was just one front.
Ah, yes. The old "Have your cake and secede from it, too" argument. If Virginia rescinded it's ratification of the Constitution and was no longer subject to US law, it can hardly complain about something being unconstitutional and illegal.
I always find it interesting that the Lost Causer position about self-determination only seems to apply to the states as a whole, as if they are the fundamental particle of sovereignty, neither forming larger entities of sovereignty nor allowing smaller ones.
The power to admit a state and to approve changes in its status once it has been allowed to join is a power reserved to the United States by Article I and Article IV. Implied in that is the power to approve a state's leaving altogether. And I should hasten to add that this is not my viewpoint alone or a new view. James Madison said as much in letters written in the 1820's.
I would suggest that Congress, by recognizing a group of individuals who were not elected, were usurping Virginias rights of self representation and self rule that all soverign States possess. In effect, it was illegal and unconstitutional because the State of Virginia was no longer a part of the Union and therefore not under the representation of Congress.
In the first place, saying that Virginia was no longer a part of the Union implies their acts of secession were legal. They were not. As for the legality or illegality of the recognized Virginia legislature, you can argue about that. But the fact is that the people of the commonwealth were entitled to representation in Congress and in their own state legislature. Those people not interested in participating in the Southern insurrection chose their own representatives and set up a legislature loyal to the United States. The U.S. Congress recognized them as the legitimate government, and it was this body that voted to partition. All done according to the Constitution of the United States, and the legality of which was later admitted by Virginia once the rebellion had ended.

In effect, it was illegal and unconstitutional because the State of Virginia was no longer a part of the Union and therefore not under the representation of Congress.
Claiming an act is illegal and unconstitutional because it was contrary to another illegal and unconstitutional act is an interesting argument.

A state's right to do what? What state's right was being suppressed? The Southern states launched their illegal secession because they saw the election of Lincoln as a threat to the expansion of slavery. The Southern leaders of the period all agree on that. Read Robert Toombs farewell to the Senate or Alexander Stephens Cornerstone Speech or Jefferson Davis's first address to the rebel congress or the speeches and writings of the various secession commissioners and you will see the importance slavery played in their decision.
They were both states where slavery was still legal, but the vast majority of both states opposed the idea of secession from the Union.
Those states did not have the intense plantation based economy of the Deep South and slavery was not a significant component of their economies or even society as it was in the Cotton Belt.
I've seen nobody "playing the race card."
What we insist is that slavery, and only slavery, was the reason the Deep South began seceding in late 1860.
And for precisely that reason -- because it was only then all about slavery -- the Upper South and Border states did not at first secede.
It only became about something other than slavery after Davis ordered the firing on Fort Sumter, the results of which gave Virginia and other Upper South states the excuses they needed to claim secession on account of Federal "abuses."
Of course, if you could ask the average central Virginia farm-boy why he fought for the Confederacy, he would certainly tell you: because d*amn Yankee armies invaded our lands.
If you asked most any farm-boy from Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Maryland or Missouri whether they cared a whit about slavery, they'd answer: not really.
What about fugitive slave laws? Naw.
What about that proposed new Morrill Tariff? Say wha?
Remember, Upper South and Border states all stayed with the Union, until Davis was successful at making it an issue of "Northern Aggression."
Then many switched sides.
I don't know what surface you are looking under, but there is none of that here. The point we have been trying to make is that slavery was indeed to cause of sectional tension in this country from its very beginning. Many of the Founders saw that and commented on it. Jefferson and others even predicted that slavery would be the rock upon which the Union would split. He was right.
Racism was not the issue. 99% of the people in the country back then, North and South, would be considered racists by even the mildest standards today. But many, perhaps even a majority, thought slavery to be wrong and in direct conflict with the nations founding ideals and principles. People like Washington, Jefferson, Franklyn, Adams and most of the Founding fathers saw it as wrong.
It is true that all societies throughout history engaged in slavery in one form or another, and that virtually all races and nationalities at one time or another were victims of slavery. But that is not the point and it does nothing to excuse American slavery.
We were founded to know better, and quite frankly we did know better. But we chose as a nation to ignore our principles and allow the practice to continue long past the time when it should have ceased. We allowed it to continue because it was financially profitable for a few very powerful people while at the same time denigrating the rest of population.
That is why comparing American slavery with barbarians like the Muslims is no excuse whatsoever. Slavery is a stain on our history and the cause of the most gruesome war in our history. To pretend otherwise or to somehow attempt to minimize it or excuse it does no service to either our history or the memory of our forefathers who struggled mightily with these questions.
History is important. Do your best to get it right and don't blink at the ugly parts.
For your information:
- According to Slavery In America, 500,000 slaves were brought to America. Many more were taken to the Caribbean and South and Central America.
- According to the Anti-Slavery Society, there are 2.7 million slaves in the world today, while others estimate up to 27 million (using a different definition).
Great post.
Great post.
It does not excuse what happened here in the least. Those other places never even pretended to have any respect for human rights.
We did commit to that concept of "endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Yet we failed miserably when it came to slavery. Be honest about it. We failed in that regard. You can't brush that aside by saying others were even worse.
But it was the Deep South states that cited that most often. Just thinking logically, how many slaves could possibly make it hundreds of miles to get across the Mason Dixon line or the Ohio river to a free state from say South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama or Mississippi?
I doubt one in ten thousand, if even that, could have passed through all of that slave territory to make it to freedom before being caught. But fugitive slaves was an the issues they cited in their declarations. It was total bull.
The only slave states that really had a run away slave issue (and they were minor on the scale of things) were Virginia and the other border states such as Maryland, Delaware, and especially Kentucky. Yet the border states other than Virginia stayed loyal to the Union, and Virginia ended up losing their only border with the Mason Dixon line because the people who actually lived in that area remained loyal to the Union.
The entire Fugitive Slave issues was total political theater. The only thing that mattered to the Slave Power was expansion of slavery to the territories and with Lincoln able to prevent that expansion, they chose war instead of the status quo.
You're from Pennsylvania, so I'll cut your some slack, but usually when I see a comment like that it's coming from flyover country (and BTW I spent a few years in my 20s living in and working for hedge funds in the deep South and South West). What most people from places like that don't get about the North East is the population density. There are more conservatives and patriots living in NY or California than just about any state except Texas or Florida. Sure, we can't do much about that the perverts and criminals in Albany, but we send more than our share to the Republican candidates in National Elections. And we are the home of the Wall Street Journal, the NY Post, Fox News, the birthplace of the EIB Network, Teddy Roosevelt.
I wasn't at all trying to say that America wasn't all that bad compared to others, I was merely trying to put a perspective on the issue.
However, there are a couple of points to be made:
- Most conversation about slavery seems to center on America's slaves in our early years. Where is all the outrage regarding slavery going on throughout the world today?
- Many early Americans did have slaves, but many were opposed to slavery. A major problem, as I see it, is that their opposition to slavery was not very vocal or public. However, the plight of slaves in America eventually became untenable and we did abolish it.
Interesting point, and no doubt correct.
But at least Fugitive Slave Laws were mentioned by the secessionists themselves, in their Causes of Secession documents -- unlike all those other phantasms our Lost Causers invent to smokescreen the real reasons.
Further, for all those (excuse my language) idiots who claim the South seceded because of overreaching, over-powerful, usurping and abusive Federal Government (in other words: projecting today back 150 years ago), the South's complaint about Fugitive Slave Laws was that the Feds were not vigorous enough in enforcing those laws.
Finally, of course, Fugitive Slave Laws were all about slavery, which reinforces my main point: that slavery was the only real cause of secession.
Anyway, you've done some great posts, I'll keep an eye out for them in the future. ;-)
It is interesting is that the Fugitive Slave Act was the first time to my knowledge that the Federal government acted directly upon the citizens of the nation as individuals as opposed to acting upon the states or business enterprises. Under that law, Federal Marshals could, and in fact did, force citizens under threat of punishment to become deputies to track down run aways even if it were against their will or to punish individuals under Federal law for harboring or assisting run aways.
It did in some respects reflect the Constitution in it affirmed the requirement for states to return run aways in their custody, but it took a very big leap in forcing those laws upon individual citizens.
It went even beyond a states rights issue. It was about how close the Federal government could act directly on citizens.
A majority of Americans then didn't own slaves and decades before the Civil War, eight of the original thirteen States ended slavery or put it on the road to extinction through gradual emancipation -- several of them even before the Revolutionary War was over.
Even before the Constitution was ratified, Congress banned slavery in the Northwest territory. Every State had emancipation societies and abolitionists preaching from the pulpits in those early years, even South Carolina. Thousands of slave owners, moved by their conscience freed their slaves.
There was plenty of sentiment against slavery in those early years and it was vocal.
The problem came from a humble fellow named Ely Whitney who invented a contraption called the Cotton Gin thinking it would make a slave's life easier. He had no idea.
Money changes things.
Don't need any slack
Those states vote in the majority for liberals

|[Although very late in the war Lee wanted freedom offered to any of the slaves who would agree to fight for the Confederacy, practically no one was stupid enough to fall for that. In any case, Lee was definitely not fighting to end slavery, instead writing that black folks are better off in bondage than they were free in Africa, and regardless, slavery will be around until Providence decides, and who are we to second guess that? And the only reason the masters beat their slaves is because of the abolitionists.]
Robert E. Lee letter -- "...There are few, I believe, in this enlightened age, who will not acknowledge that slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil. It is idle to expatiate on its disadvantages. I think it is a greater evil to the white than to the colored race. While my feelings are strongly enlisted in behalf of the latter, my sympathies are more deeply engaged for the former. The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, physically, and socially. The painful discipline they are undergoing is necessary for their further instruction as a race, and will prepare them, I hope, for better things. How long their servitude may be necessary is known and ordered by a merciful Providence. Their emancipation will sooner result from the mild and melting influences of Christianity than from the storm and tempest of fiery controversy. This influence, though slow, is sure. The doctrines and miracles of our Saviour have required nearly two thousand years to convert but a small portion of the human race, and even among Christian nations what gross errors still exist! While we see the course of the final abolition of human slavery is still onward, and give it the aid of our prayers, let us leave the progress as well as the results in the hands of Him who, chooses to work by slow influences, and with whom a thousand years are but as a single day. Although the abolitionist must know this, must know that he has neither the right not the power of operating, except by moral means; that to benefit the slave he must not excite angry feelings in the master..."

Under our mild and humane administration of the system they have increased above four millions. The country has expanded to meet this growing want, and Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri, have received this increasing tide of African labor; before the end of this century, at precisely the same rate of increase, the Africans among us in a subordinate condition will amount to eleven millions of persons. What shall be done with them? We must expand or perish. We are constrained by an inexorable necessity to accept expansion or extermination. Those who tell you that the territorial question is an abstraction, that you can never colonize another territory without the African slavetrade, are both deaf and blind to the history of the last sixty years. All just reasoning, all past history, condemn the fallacy. The North understand it better - they have told us for twenty years that their object was to pen up slavery within its present limits - surround it with a border of free States, and like the scorpion surrounded with fire, they will make it sting itself to death."

What a profoundly stupid justification. I suppose the USA is worthless these days too because a majority voted for Barak Obama? Think before you post.
At the 1787 Constitutional Convention, James Madison rejected a proposal that would allow the federal government to suppress a seceding state. He said, "A Union of the States containing such an ingredient seemed to provide for its own destruction. The use of force against a State would look more like a declaration of war than an infliction of punishment and would probably be considered by the party attacked as a dissolution of all previous compacts by which it might be bound."
A textbook used at West Point before the Civil War, A View of the Constitution, written by Judge William Rawle (who was one of the leading constitutional scholars in early America and a personal friend of George Washington), states, "The secession of a State depends on the will of the people of such a State."....Lee, Davis, indeed many of the most influential leaders in the South were West Point grads...and if its not legal, why is the government teaching it at West Point?
"I am determined to sever ourselves from the union we so much value rather than to give up the rights of self government in which alone we see liberty, safety and happyness." Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence.
To coerce the states is one of the maddest projects that was ever devised. Can any reasonable man be well disposed toward a government which makes war and carnage the only means of supporting itself, a government that can only exist by the sword?" Alexander Hamilton
"The future inhabitants of [both] the Atlantic and Mississippi states will be our sons. We think we see their happiness in their union, and we wish it. Events may prove otherwise; and if they see their interest in separating why should we take sides? God bless them both, and keep them in union if it be for their good, but separate them if it be better." Thomas Jefferson
"If any State in the Union will declare that it prefers separation" over "union," "I have no hesitation in saying, 'let us separate.'" Thomas Jefferson
"Any people anywhere being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable, a most sacred right - a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the whole people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people, that can, may revolutionize, and make their own of so much of the territory as they inhabit. Abraham Lincoln January 12, 1848
If secession clearly was not constitutional, then why pray tell was a constitutional amendment proposed on March 2, 1861 that would have outlawed secession (See H. Newcomb Morse, "The Foundations and Meaning of Secession," Stetson Law Review, vol. 15, 1986, pp. 41936)
"If [the Declaration of Independence] justifies the secession from the British empire of 3,000,000 of colonists in 1776, we do not see why it would not justify the secession of 5,000,000 of Southrons from the Federal Union in 1861." New York Tribune, December 17, 1860
Bangor Daily Union wrote on November 13, 1860, the Union "depends for its continuance on the free consent and will of the sovereign people of each state, and when that consent and will is withdrawn on either part, their Union is gone." A state coerced into the Union is "a subject province" and may never be "a co-equal member of the American Union."
The New York Journal of Commerce editorialized on January 12, 1861, that opposing secession changes the nature of government "from a voluntary one, in which the people are sovereigns, to a despotism where one part of the people are slaves" to the federal government.
This was the view of the majority of Northern newspapers at the time according to Howard Cecil Perkins, editor of the two-volume book, Northern Editorials on Secessiotn.
There was also a vigorous secession movement in the "middle states" Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New York in the late 1850s, as described by William C. Wright in The Secession Movement in the Middle Atlantic States
It does not seem clear to me AT ALL that secession was either unconstitutional or not perfectly in keeping with the original intent of the Founders.

A person's worth is tied to their physical appearance. At least, that's the message people are bombarded with every day – on television, in magazines, the Internet and virtually everywhere else. Women must be thin but curvy, while men must be masculine and muscular. Those who don't meet these criteria are often left with negative perceptions of themselves.
ITHACA, NY—Seniors in the Martin Luther King Scholar program at Ithaca College will tell stories of survival, resilience and defiance on Thursday, April 21. Free and open to the public, the program is scheduled for noon in Clark Lounge, Egbert Hall.

In NPR Interview, Ithaca College Professor Highlights Contributions of Lesser-Known Civil Rights Leader
Most people know about Martin Luther King Jr.'s famed letter from Birmingham jail, written on April 16, 1963, which defended the use of non-violent resistance against racism. Fewer know about Bayard Rustin – the gay, African American civil rights leader who helped supply the philosophical underpinnings of that strategy.
A student-led initiative called IC Color will celebrate the panoply of identities that make up the Ithaca College community. The week-long event running from April 17-22 will focus on typically underrepresented populations, with an entire day devoted to recognizing each.

This apartment is in the north west wing of glorious Charlecote Park. Approached by a very steep spiral staircase, this second floor apartment has unsurpassed views to the Gatehouse and to the parkland beyond. A wonderful base from which to explore the very heart of England with the Cotswolds close by, Warwick Castle just seven miles away and Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare, a mere four miles away.
Heating: Night storage heating included.
Parking: There is parking close to the property in the wood yard.
Accessibility: Please note that access to the apartment is up a very steep spiral staircase.
Offers: Holiday cottage guests have free access to Charlecote Park garden and grounds out of hours.
Guests will benefit from a late Sunday checkout of 12pm.
These three counties are a chance to get closer to traditional English life, gentle rolling hedgerows alive with wildlife and wide open green spaces to relax in. Best bits include exploring the green chalk hills and woodlands of the Chilterns and discovering the history of Warwickshire, the birthplace of William Shakespeare.
Lovely location and loved staying in historic property with loads of character. A relaxing weekend with friends and family.
The turret was a unique and beautiful place in which to stay, It was peaceful, set in beautiful grounds with amazing views. Also, it is very close to Stratford and Warwick.
Being able to walk out into the deer park in the morning before it was open to the public.
A great place for the family to get together, not too far to travel. Such a historical place, different and well set up. The quiet, the animals and beautiful place. All the ages enjoyed the holiday.
Our stay was first class as this was for a special holiday it exceeded all our expectations and was a wonderful holiday. The location was wonderful, the deer park was beautiful and we had a wonderful week to just chill. Although we had listed other places to visit we just loved to stay in the Turret and soak in the atmosphere. A thoroughly recommended break.
The level of comfort and the facilities provided were just what we needed. The accommodation, as the name suggests, is accessed by a turret and covers the top floor of the north west wing of Charlecote Park Manor. The 4 year old in our party was convinced that she was staying in a real Princess's tower - especially when she was told that Queen Elizabeth I had stayed at the House many years ago! All in all this is was ideal accommodation and proved to be an excellent choice for a busy but also relaxing break. Access to the grounds out of hours was a wonderful opportunity to explore without the crowds. All the members of staff / volunteers? we had contact with were friendly and appeared to thoroughly enjoy their jobs and responsibilities attached to helping to run and maintain this wonderful site. Our party covered 3 generations from 4 years old to 58 years young and The Turret proved to be the perfect accommodation and location for us all. The information provided on the property pre and post booking was accurate and whilst we were looking forward to out stay, on arrival we felt it exceeded what we were expecting. Everything about this wonderful place was more than satisfactory and we would love to stay here again when visiting this part of the country in the future. We will also give serious consideration to other NT properties when looking for self catering accommodation in other regions.
We welcome your views on The Turret and these can be provided via our online survey.

Members of Migvan urban kibbutz, located in the southern Israeli city of Sderot, have decided to invest in a unique crop – solar energy.
The commune's houses are covered with solar panels, making them the location of Israel's first urban solar field, which produces electricity for its residents.
Red Tape
Associated Press
Israel solar companies frustrated by gov't bureaucracy, take their expertise abroad. 'Israel enjoys endless supply of sunshine, but has been outpaced by Europe in solar development,' says business owner
Migvan was formed in 1987 and is currently home to 50 people.
The urban kibbutz adopted environmentally friendly principles from its inception, and has a large recycling center and a compost recycling facility, as well.
About three years ago, the members agreed to install small solar systems on their roofs, to manufacture their own power.
"We had a clear agenda then, to save electricity, to contribute what little we could to the environment and yes, to form a long-term savings account for the kibbutz," Migvan member Lior Lapid said.
Migvan was able to obtain a bank loan to finance the venture and soon installed 10 Sunpower systems.
In late April the systems went on the grid and started producing electricity.
Each rooftop system produced 4 kilowatts of power and together, they are expected to produce more than 70 kilowatts of electricity a year.
As it was soon discovered, the systems produced more electricity than Migvan needed, yielding an 11% return on their investment. The commune now hopes to pay off the bank loan it was given within 8-9 years.
"It's like having a savings account with a 12% return," Lapid said.
"The State should encourage these kinds of projects. There's plenty of sun and more than enough roofs. There's no need to take up open spaces for it."

Trinnette Cooper
Trinnette Cooper is a Ph.D. candidate focused on interdisciplinary leadership studies at NC A&T with a desire to work at the executive-administration level in the philanthropic sector. She grew up in a small rural town in eastern North Carolina and was raised in a working, middle-class family. Her mom, Bessie, is an education consultant and her dad, Salmon, is a trucker.
"I think my inspiration comes from being raised in a middle-class to lower-middle-class home with parents who not only worked and raised their children, but were also involved in our church and were pillars in our community. My mom represented our community in the education system and people would relate to her because not only did they see her in the school where she worked, but also in the grocery store or in the church. My dad is retired from the Army Reserves."
She has a bachelor's in biology from Johnson C. Smith University and a master's in public health, with a concentration in health promotion, from Northern Illinois University. "I'd love to have my own foundation one day in a minority community with a focus on providing funds to those communities," she said. "It's also so important to be visible. Just being a person of color and working within those communities conveys a sense of empowerment. I know this agenda can bring about change. As Marian Wright Edelman has said,"… service is the rent you pay for living and the very purpose for life."

Loved this place! We got our lobsters to go and saved some cash. We ate them at a local beach-picnic style. Their clam chowder is delicious too!
Basic restaurant - simple menu. Lobsters were very good. Clam chowder was good. Prawn cocktail was not the best I've had.
Simple,picnic benches, bibs and fresh soft shell lobsters. Made to order. Great blueberry pie. Two 1&1/4 lobsters special 28.95 no sharing. Fun place, delicious lobsters.
Open only in the evening, the lobsters and other seafood is always fresh and this shows in the taste. Well worth the trip to feast on this.
So lucky to have made it to Nunan's on the last night of service for the season. A couple of beers and 2 of the 1 1/8 lb lobsters each--and everything was delicious. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect lobster experience!
For the "dockside lobster dinner " Nunan's is the best. No frills, perfect lobster not over cooked, tasty Blueberry pie.
We have been going to Maine for 30 years, and I discovered Nunan's many years ago. The food is fantastic, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is the prefect 'old Maine' lobster hut. If you are ever in the Kennebunkport area, don't miss a trip to Nunan's. Beside the lobster, you must try the blueberry pie.
a really fun place. It's family owned, they catch, cook and serve the lobster and do it very well. Lobster roll was wonderful, tender and juicy and dessert of blueberry cobbler was fantastic
The best lobster in town. The family catches the lobster, cooks the lobster and serves the lobster.Unless you catch the lobster self, you will not get fresher lobster. The specials are a great value,Cash only and opens at 5:00 pm
We enjoyed delicious lobster, lobster stew and homemade desserts. It's a very unique place that shouldn't be missed if you are in the Kennebunk area. Service was excellent as well.

If there's any neighborhood that has experienced a real estate transformation in New York, it's Harlem.
Beautifully renovated townhouses are slowly replacing older buildings. And people who at one point wouldn't have dared to go above 125th Street now not only go up there, but choose to live there for the space, affordable rent, culture and neighborly vibe. Harlem stepped into the limelight in the early 21st century, when Bill Clinton decided to establish the headquarters of the Clinton Foundation on 125th St. (The foundation has since moved its doors to Water St.)
That transition is noted by the first luxury brand name hotel to ever exist in Harlem, Aloft Harlem, which just opened its doors to the public in 2011, and the opening of dozens of restaurants in the area by critically acclaimed chefs. The Cecil, an Afro-Asian American brasserie founded by Richard Parsons, has made quite a splash, and the historical Lenox Lounge, which once hosted the likes of John Coltrane, is being renovated and face lifted by Nobu managing partner, Richie Notar.
Lower Harlem is home to forever-expanding Columbia University, a sterling, ornate institution alive with some of the best and brightest young people in the country (and the world). It's also home to The City College of the City University of New York, otherwise known as CUNY, and Barnard College, an all women's college that is a bastion for female leaders. Between the three colleges, you're likely to see a stream of students hustling to make it to class on time. Barnard hosts the Athena Film Festival every February, which focuses on films made by and about extraordinary women. And Columbia's campus is truly beautiful, white marble columns gracing white stone buildings, and a nice perk of living in this area is getting to stroll through their main campus on your way to the subway, as the 1 train stops right there.
For great brunch, you'll love Kitchenette--a homey, mom and pop type place which is a favorite among Columbia students.
Harlem's arts scene is thriving, with many venues playing old-school jazz, hosting rotating galleries, and featuring new filmmakers.
The area celebrates its artistic eclecticism with the Harlem Arts Festival every year, a performing and visual arts festival featuring local artists, performers, dancers, and musicians.

my son did the repair
As best described in the clutch DIYs, removed the enclosure, unclipped the water pump, motor and elec. harness to check the coupling. The bushing separated from the plastic fingers which caused the squealing. Checked the gearbox and it turned for a limited amount before jamming. Ordered new gearcase and clutch (since it was over 10 yrs. old.), and a coupling. (Gearcase comes with half a coupling, so check if req'd for motor shaft.)For ease of removing and re-installing the motor it is best the machine lays on its back. This way the grommets and coupling can be easily aligned on the face-plate without having to manually support the weight of the motor. In the tub, unsnap two agitator caps. The inner one has no tabs to break so pry and pull on the "ears". Use 7/16" socket wrench with extension to unscrew the bolt holding agitator to gear shaft end. Assuming the motor and face-plate are still off, unscrew the three screws holding the gearcase in place and slide it out. Before installing the new clutch onto the new gear shaft, slide the plastic thrust spacer? (in kit but not shown in any instructions) down the shaft, observing which is the correct side. Check for correct clutch spring, as per instructions. Slide clutch, open side up, down the shaft. Instal wire retainer (this can be tricky) and circlip. if the brake assembly slid down while sliding out the gear shaft, squeeze its spring with a pipe wrench and push it back up (with rubber mallet). The clutch kit comes with a plastic pawl? which mounts under the brake and mates with the clutch. If the locating pins for the old part are broken off, drill them out of their holes so the new part fits snug. Insert the gear shaft up the brake sleeve into the agitator so their splines mate. Screw gear case to its mounts, agitator to shaft end (not too tight here) and snap on caps. Screw on face-plate, replace coupling on motor shaft (if req'd.), set motor on face-plate, aligning the coupling and checking the grommets fit in their holes. Instal motor holding clips (with screws), mount water pump with its holding clips, and wire harnesses. Stand up machine and replace enclosure, back panel and hoses.Replacing the gearcase was easy. Because of space limitations, removing and replacing the enclosure, etc. was a b**** that took most of my time. And watch the lid doesn't fall on your fingers!
Disconnect electrical, took out agttator, tipped machine againest the wall. On hooked the two hoses on pump, removed three bolts pulled complete assembley out removed worn parts and installed new parts and reassembled. Works like new,
First confirmed it wasn't the lid switch by jumping. Then confirmed by taking off washer cover that the transmission was leaking and spraying oil as evidenced by yellow oil film on the inside of the washer cover. The leaking oil caused the clutch assembly to slip and wear. Replaced both the clutch assembly and the transmission upper two seals.To repair, after taking the washer cover off removed the agitator holding screw. Then remove two clips holding water pump. Unconnect the motor wires and remove two clips holding motor in place. Tilte washer back leaning up on a chair and remove 3 bolts holding transmission assy in place. Slid out the transmission/ shaft from machine.I rebuilt the transmission by separating the case on bench and replacing two seals. To do this you first need to remove clutch assembly from the trans agitator shaft. The clutch is held on by a washer and two spring clips. You need to take note of the orientation of the parts for proper reassembly. The difficult part was separating the cover of the transmission from the base . After removal of the cover screws using a putty knife and hammer I gently tapped all around to separate the halves. The I replaced the two upper seals, one one the cover and one in the output shaft. The second difficult part that requires some skill is removing the seal from the transmission cover. I used a hair dryer to heat up the aluminum cover to ease removal of the seal. After replacement of the seals I resealed the cover onto the base using automotive silicone gasket maker. Note; I kept the transmission level during this repair so that I did not need to drain oil. After keeping the transmission level and allowing 24 hours for the silicon to cure I assembled the new clutch assembly and clips in reverse order on transmission shaft. Then reassembled the transmission, motor and pump in reverse order. Ran machine with full load of towels. Spin problem fixed and transmission is still leak free a week later.

THE FANASTIC MR. FOX Featurette - The World of Roald Dahl
I'm looking forward to Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox. I am a huge fan of his films and this is just one of those that I think a lot of people are going to adore. From everything I have seen it looks like it is going to be quite a charming little film.
In the behind the scenes video below we see how Director Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenenbaums, The Darjeeling Limited) immersed himself in the world of author Roald Dahl as he wrote and directed Fantastic Mr. Fox.
