For each laborer brought across the Atlantic, the master was rewarded with 50 acres of land. If the employee died or left before the end of his indenture, the master got both his own 50-acre premium and the acreage that would have gone to the employee.

This is posted with the WWII ping list to alert you that if you want to be on the new Civil War ping list let me know. I will repeat this once more and then retire the WWII list.

Thank you for starting this project and I'm relieved to know that you don't plan on posting every single day. Not just for your sake but for your readers as well. The daily WW2 postings was a lot to absorb! Yet it was an admirable project and one that can be easily repeated again - now that all the work has been done.
I have that Lincoln book sitting on my bookshelf. I think I'll get around to reading it as your new series gets underway.
I liked the map of what the U.S. looked like in the 1850s. On a lighter note, I have a modern name for the Mason/Dixon line. I now call it that IHOP/Waffle House line because it seems that as soon as I cross the PA border and into Maryland and the Virginias, the roadside IHOPs disappear to be replaced by Waffle Houses.
By the way, I'm a big fan of the Waffle House chain and having breakfast in one is something I always look forward to when I travel to the South.

Yeah, WWII got to be practically a full time job. No more of that, for now anyway. I hope to inject variety into the series but so far only "Bleeding Kansas" has provided excerpts for specific dates in 1855. There are a few for next year from some other books but not many. I expect that to change as I get deeper into it. In the meantime, I got a recommendation for www.newspapers.com that could provide material for us. It is said to cost $10 a month and has 40 papers for this date. I don't want to get into that myself, but if anyone else is inspired to post 160-year-old newspaper articles the new ping list is on my profile. I believe that would be an appropriate use of the list.

Very nice. Thank you. Assuming the facts as laid out in Bleeding Kansas are correct, it seems like the reporters got some of the facts mixed up. Hard to imagine that happening today. *cough*

As best I can tell, Pennsylvania has more Waffle Houses than IHOPs, and Maryland-Virginia has more of both than Pennsylvania. FWIW.

Well, look at this!
From December 4, 1855, a Montgomery Alabama news report on the events in Kansas.
Please note that this is a very serious matter to those people, they leave no doubts as to the issues, and their side in it:

We'll see... might just be that particular newspaper article was preserved a bit better, so as they say: past performance is no guarantee of future results... :-)

That is a wonderful, but startling editorial. Note that it is from the N.Y. Herald. You can see how radical abolitionists were considered even in the north. And the writing! Just the first paragraph has the Latin we are assumed to understand and then, "a slide from the general embankment of antislavery . . ." I had to think about that one.
A steady diet of such contributions alleviates my fear that this series lacks variety.

Colonel Albert Gallatin Boone (1806 - 1884)
http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Boone-837
Albert Gallatin Boone was appointed by President Buchanan in 1860 to draft a treaty with the Cheyenne and the Arapahoe Indians for the cession of Colorado to the United States. This he succeeded in accomplishing, and was appointed agent over those Indians, but was subsequently removed by President Lincoln on political grounds.
