Chiefs are giving franchise DT Chirs Jones a four-year, $85 million deal that includes $60 million in guarantees, per source.

@cspanhistory True. The entry of France, followed by Spain and the United Provinces, was absolutely essential financially to the support of the American Revolution.

How important were foreign alliances to American Independence? Did you know the Declaration was also translated into French? Learn more Saturday at 10am ET on American History TV.

@cspanhistory @cspanhistory, recognition by France following the victory at Saratoga was absolutely essential to the American cause, and brought about the almost immediate Treaty of Versailles of 1778, negotiated by Benjamin Franklin (one of the Five Great Documents of the American Revolution)

@ReedsyDiscovery Thanks for this post!

@brav_wav @SeldonHeard @TrueBlueLiberal @amhistorymuseum Andrew Jackson was a southern plantation owner and thereby owned HUNDREDS of slaves during his time at the Hermitage outside Nashville, TN.

@SeldonHeard @TrueBlueLiberal @amhistorymuseum Andrew Jackson didn't own slaves? You sure about that?

Today in 1863: Readers of “Harper's Weekly” learn of a daring raid by U.S. forces into rebel-held territory in South Carolina that delivered more than 700 enslaved people to freedom. For many, this piece was their introduction to the one, the only: Harriet Tubman.

@amhistorymuseum @amhistdirector All I can say to this is "Amen." The history of systemic racism that is an integral part of American history has been suppressed for far too long, and we simply need to own it, accept it, and listen to other views.

"These past few weeks have reflected the complicated, paradoxical racial history of the United States in violent, vivid, and painful ways..." - Excerpt from statement by @amhistdirector Anthea M. Hartig

First book in final stages for epress. Should be available around May 1.
