#OTD in 1862 a #UnitedStates #soldier named John P. Jones wrote his wife while he was deployed in Medon, #Tennessee. Jone's identity has yet to be verified, but he possibly served in the 45th #Illinois. Jones' letter reveals his changing attitudes towards #slavery. 
"I am getting to be more and more of an abolitionist. I believe that this accursed institution must go down," he wrote. Jones also realized that he was fighting to destroy slavery. He continued, "We can never have a permanent peace as long..."
"...as this curse stains our otherwise fair insignia. The ruler of nations can never prosper these United States until it blots slavery from existence. He can no longer wink at such atrocities. This must be the grand the final issue."

1/ Going to #Kyiv first time since 20 Feb 2022.
#Ukraine will never be the same as before #Russia full scale #war, so during this comeback trip, I will share my impressions about dramatic and subtle changes that I see on every corner.
Join me on this journey in this thread!

2/ First hours of drive, we’re on a very good, European quality, yet unfinished, highway. New roads across the country was perhaps the last ambitious pre-war project by president #Zelenskyy.
It’s hard to grasp that #Ukraine will have to start from scratch once the #war is over.

3/ #Vinnytsia region central Ukraine. Russia attacked it with rockets just last night, but I see a granny and a little boy outside, painting their fence as we’re driving by.
Can’t stop to ask about their views on the future, but it’s obvious they see one.

Mangal Pandey.
Born in 1827, the first #soldier to inspire young #Indian soldiers for the great struggle of 1857. Serving as a soldier for the British, Pandey launched the first attack by firing at English officials, which was the beginning of the Indian rebellion of 1857

Among other things, a #sergeant in the segant carrer is strongly suspected of being a #rightwing #extremist. The #intelligence #investigation against him should last for several months. The Ministry of Defense (@BMVg_Bundeswehr)has confirmed the process.
The necessary legal action against the #soldier had been opened public because #information had come to the public, says a ministry spokesman in the #newspapper

Not courageous like a #Soldier under fire, but courageous enough to not wait. Courageous enough to #Live every moment to the hilt.
#Courageous enough to know that the only losses I should fear are the loss of #Love and #Respect, for myself & for those around me.
