Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for March 28, 2023

Today’s is an example of a most beautiful way to entice small children to take up the art of reading.

The Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1862, but only took effect on January 1, 1863. Or rather, it gradually took effect and was completed on June 19, 1865. Though the emancipation of US slaves was only completed with the final ratification of the 13th Amendment on December 6 of that year. (I love history…)

As River Song would often say to the Doctor; “Spoiler alert, sweetie!!!”

i don’t know about this…(see what i did there?)

Don’t forget the bloodiest battle in American history. The battle of Gettysburg.

West Virginia seceded from Virginia and abolished slavery. Yet when I visit, I see more Confederate flags there than anywhere else.

Shouldn’t that doll be in school?

They’ll see Lincoln in his underwear.The Gettysburg Undress.
