The Battle of Gettysburg involved the largest number of casualties of the entire Civil war and is often described as the war's turning point. Between 46,000 and 51,000 soldiers lost their lives during the three-day Battle. To honor the fallen soldiers, President Abraham Lincoln read his historic Gettysburg Address and helped those listening by redefining the purpose of the war.

1867 · Sorry Mr. President, You can't do that.

This Act was to restrict the power of the President removing certain office holders without approval of the Senate. It denies the President the power to remove any executive officer who had been appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate, unless the Senate approved the removal during the next full session of Congress. The Amendment was later repealed.

Name Meaning

English (Cornwall): habitational name from any of many minor places in Berkshire, Cheshire, Cornwall, Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire, Staffordshire, and particularly common in Devon, called Northcott or Northcote. The placenames derive from Middle English north ‘north, northern’ + cote ‘cottage, shelter’ or Old English north + cot, cote. The spelling of the name is now rare in Britain, Northcott being the more common form.
