JESUS And Christmas
The predominant association tied to Christmas revolves around commemorating the birth of Jesus. However, the specific date of Jesus' birth has been a source of debate over time. Scholars and theologians, Pope Benedict XVI among them, agree that December 25th is not the actual date of Jesus' birth. Consulting the scriptures for clarity poses a challenge, as the New Testament lacks any mention of Jesus being born on December 25th or any specific date. The Gospel of Luke does offer some insights, highlighting shepherds tending to their flock in fields during Jesus' birth.

The Black Codes
In the Summer and Fall of 1865, the former states of the Confederacy held constitutional conventions. Under Presidential Reconstruction, only white men were allowed to vote for delegates. The Southern states took advantage of President Johnson’s lax Reconstruction policies to elect ex-Confederate leaders. By the end of the year, most of the Southern states had Confederate legislatures in place that began to pass laws restricting the rights of the freedmen. “Regardless of how they voted on the [thirteenth] amendment,” notes Michael Bellesiles in Inventing Black Equity: Reconstructing the Constitution in the Aftermath of the South, “every one of the former Confederate states quickly passed Black Codes controlling their freed black population, clearly violating freedom of contract, one of the minimal rights all Republicans felt essential to their formation of equality.”

Tudor Dynasty.
The English dynasty, which ruled England from 1485 to 1603, was composed of members descended from the Houses of Lancaster and York. It was essentially a chess game, where members were eliminated to reach the English throne. It had been seen fought by multiple houses over the centuries. Gruesome, violent, and filled with prolific individuals, England has seen its fair share of battles from royal members trying to win over the power that it held by dominating the entire island. The House of Tudor was no exception, and it was the only house in English history to break ties with the Roman church, produce its own church managed by a king, and produce its own bible written in English. So who founded such a house that is still considered by many to be one of the most famous and well-known houses in English history? Well, sit down and relax and delve deep down into the history of the king that ended the War of the Roses, a monarch that was obsessed with trying to procreate a male heir into the English family by constantly marrying, a king who was considered by many to be the first English monarch to be raised as a protestant, a queen known for killing and wiping out protestants and later on being remembered as the “bloody queen of England” and the “virgin” queen that changed England for the better.
