Chapter 2 Notes (continued) In the 1800's 'Workhouses' were around that were residential and with a contract with private citizens to provide food and clothes people got to work for what they had.

Some are saying that he should have been the first to get the memo before she spoke to the general public.

We have witnessed the reshaping of history this past month. It is the reshaping of history that always starts out with a vengeance. And, so it was. The ever encroaching Father Time who waits for no man, who day after day, night after night has relentlessly and unapologetically turned the pages of the history of man. The struggle for decency has resurfaced in this the 21st century. For far too long the United States has relinquished it's role as the beacon of hope and opportunity. The dark clouds of the past four years has only exasperated the growing struggles for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
