1804 · The Twelfth Amendment
With not having a very clear statement in the Constitution about Presidents and Vice Presidents, the Twelfth Amendment was Born. Before the Electoral College could cast two votes for those that they saw fit for President. This was changed to just one electoral vote for President and one electoral vote for Vice President. With the amount of people even allowed to vote, there was no way for there to be a tie during the elections.
1822 · Slave Rebellion
"On June 16, 1822, Denmark Vesey a free and self-educated African American leads a slave rebellion called ""the rising."" The interesting thing about this rebellion is that it does not really happen. The only thing the judges have to go on is the testimony of people that witness it."
Name Meaning
English: habitational name, probably a variant of Dewsbury, a habitational name from a place so named in Yorkshire, with loss of the medial s, no doubt reflecting loss of association with the original Yorkshire placename following migration.
