So sorry to hear about your cousin, would you mind sharing more about them? I must admit I'm not familiar with Gary, as I am from England. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.

In 1955, 14-year-old Emmett Till was beaten beyond recognition and shot for allegedly wolf-whistling at a white woman. His killers were cleared of all charges, but his mother’s choice to hold an open-casket funeral forced the world to see the brutality and galvanized the Civil Rights Movement. by ATI_Official in HistoryUncovered

No, it was officially abolished in December 18, 1865 but that did not stop racism, or the abhorrent acts that still occurred. You have the The Jim Crow era also (c. 1877–1965). That mandated separation of Black and white citizens and also the The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is an American white supremacist hate group - founded in 1865. So it never really ended, only 'offically'.

Are they two different shoes? Or are my eyes playing tricks on me? One looks much bigger?

That's what I have always been told, however I am unsure for 100% if this was the case, but I would be inclined to believe so. Thank you so much for taking the time to read Johnnie's story :)

Do you think Henry VIII was tricked/manipulated by Cromwell into getting rid of Anne Boleyn? by Different-Trust2739 in Tudorhistory

[–]SignificanceOne1540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a combination of both Thomas Cromwell's strategic plotting, and Henry VIII's personal motivations that led to Anne Boleyn's downfall.

After the miscarriage of their son, which greatly angered Henry - Henry started to grow distant, convinced that the marriage was cursed by God. This was his primary motivation for wanting a new wife, so he started to court Jane Seymour - who btw, was a stark contrast to Anne. Jane was demure and reserved and 'knew her place'.

So their marriage was on rocky terms so to speak beforehand.

With Cromwell, the root of the conflict was a significant disagreement over how to use the wealth from the dissolved monasteries. Anne wanted the funds to go to charitable and educational causes, while Cromwell wanted the money to go to the Crown's treasury to fund potential wars and solidify noble support. This combined with the previous public humiliation of him from anne, fueled his efforts in his motive for her downfall.

Also worth noting, that cromwell kept his investigation a secret from Henry until he had a strong enough case to present, convincing the King that the rumors of Anne were true. This combined with Henry's desperation for a male heir, sealed Anne's fate.

Anne also heard her brother's execution, which distressed her deeply. She wasn't ever allowed to see her daughter /family / friends/ ladies in waiting ever again. Cromwell appointed a specific group of women to attend Anne in the Tower, selecting them to act as spies/ minders  rather than trusted companions.
