SPANISH REPUBLICANS.

Women of the Republican militia, Madrid 1936. The Spanish Civil War served to break down many of the traditional gender roles on the Republican side. For one thing, it allowed women to fight openly on the battlefield at the start of the civil war, something very rare in 20th century warfare.

Here is an excerpt from Frances Lannon's article, Women and Images of Women in the Spanish Civil War: In both Madrid and Barcelona, ​​in the early days of the war, some young women rushed along with men to the direct defence of the Republic against the military uprising of the city's garrisons. Some took part in the assault on the Cuartel de Montaña in Madrid and Atarazanas in Barcelona. They joined search parties to stop people in the streets, wandered around waving their rifles with male companions in requisitioned trucks, and went off to help stop the enemy's advance in the Guadarrama hills north of Madrid and elsewhere. places, in many cases at the cost of their lives.

The stage was set for slavery in the U.S. as early as the 14th century, when Spain and Portugal began to capture Africans for enslavement in Europe. Slavery eventually expanded to colonial America, where the first enslaved Africans were brought to the Virginia colony at Point Comfort on the James River on August 20, 1619. It was reported that “20 and odd Negroes” from the White Lion, an English ship, were sold in exchange for food; the remaining Africans were transported to Jamestown and sold into slavery.

Historians have long believed that these first Africans enslaved in the colonies came from the Caribbean, but Spanish records suggest they were captured in Angola, then a Portuguese colony in West Central Africa. While aboard the ship São João Bautista bound for Mexico, they were stolen by two English ships, the White Lion and the Treasurer. Once in Virginia, the enslaved Africans were dispersed throughout the colony.

Although in the mid-17th century Virginia became the first British colony in North America to legally mandate race-based, hereditary enslavement, slavery did not immediately become the predominant form of labor there. For decades after slavery was formalized, Virginia plantation owners held nearly 10 times as many indentured servants as enslaved Africans, and many of them were white. By the 1680s, however, African slave labor became the dominant system on Virginia farms and the population of enslaved people continued to grow exponentially. As enslavement became a status centrally tied to race, colonial American laws and culture developed to create a narrative of racial difference that defined African people as intellectually inferior, morally deficient, and benefitting from the "civilizing" influence of slavery.

This belief system and institution spread widely over the next two centuries, even as the U.S. gained independence and embraced a national identity as the "land of the free." At the start of the Civil War in 1861, Virginia had the largest population of enslaved Black people of any state in the Confederacy.

Juntos

Este no es momento por silencio

Ni por lagrimas, te limpio la carita

Este es momento de actuar

Acer que este no es sentencia infinita

Date a ti mismo el tiempo afligirse

Y de ahi nos levantamos, tu y yo

Aceptacion, horacion, o violencio,

Ninguno es la solucion

No me canso

No me rindo

De pelear esta lucha larga y dura

Cuando gano

Mi destino

Salier triunfantemente de la noche oscura

Cuando te faltan el respecto

No agas escusas

Tu mereces el mundo y mas

No estas sola, no tengas dudas

Cuando te miran y sussoran y te juzgan

Si conercer ni a ti ni a ellos

No dices que entiendes su ignorancia

No es edad ni religion que inflicta el duelo

No te cansas

No te rindas

De pelear esta lucha larga y dura

Cuando ganas

Con heridas

Pero sobreviviendo toda la tortura

Estamos aqui, nos quedamos aqui

Por siempre

Estamos aqui, nos quedamos aqui

Por siempre

Nos cansamos

Nos rindamos

Solo cuando todo el mundo esta a salvo

Y luchamos

Y llegamos

A la victoria que viene con el cambio

Somos fuertes

Mas que piensan

Creo en el poder del amor y de la gente

Descidientes

De resistencia

Nos salvamos del pasado, tambien lo haremos del presente

#OTD in 1988 – The Gibraltar Three | Three unarmed IRA members, Mairéad Farrell, Danny McCann and Sean Savage were shot dead by undercover members of the Special Air Service (SAS) in Gibraltar.

Three members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) were executed by the British Special Air Service (SAS) in Gibraltar, referred to as Operation Flavius. The three—Seán Savage, Daniel McCann, and Mairéad Farrell were believed to be mounting a bombing attack on British military personnel in Gibraltar. What is undeniable is that just before 4:00pm that afternoon – just two or three…

Vintage Propaganda Posters Of Spanish Civil War In 1937

The Spanish Civil War, fought from 1936 to 1939, was a complex conflict between the Republicans and Nationalists, both vying for control over Spain’s government and its future. The Republicans supported the left-leaning Popular Front government of the Second Spanish Republic and consisted of various socialist, communist, separatist, anarchist, and republican parties. On the other hand, the Nationalists were an alliance of Falangists, monarchists, conservatives, and traditionalists led by General Francisco Franco.

Joaquin Collar (left) and Captain Marlano Berberan of the Spanish Air Service are shown here with plane they used on their 5.000-mile flight from Seville, Spain, to Camagney, Cuba, the longest overwater flight ever made and a record trans-Atlantic journey. The daring fliers had set out for Havana, but bad flying weather forced them down only a few miles from their goal. The 5.000-mile trip was made in 38 hours and 55 minutes, for an aver gs of nearly 130 miles per hour, A Daigle-motored biplane was used." - from the Kingston Whig-Standard. June 14, 1933. Page 14.

Just to clarify, I am a REPUBLICAN. However, I can see the ways in which sometimes monarchy is better, and republics worse. Sometimes I believe the ideal is a democratically elected monarch (and yes they're a thing).

I'm not an anti Harry nor an anti Meghan, nor pro Will and Kate (like I said, I don't like royal families, period) simply study both sides of stories, have always lived in one monarchy or the other, and try to provide objective criticism.

And right now I see people like the Princess Royal and King Charles III who are doing remarkable things for the environment and for charities in Britain, or King Felipe of Spain, who just was in a big event to promote friendship amongst Spanish-speaking countries, and I think well, bloody well done. Certainly better than politicians who are all (except Jeremy Corbyn) shameful and corrupt to their eyeballs.

And then I look at Prince Harry and think, disloyal waste of space. Not because I'm comparing him with anyone, not because I unreasonably have it against him, but because through my life I've never known him to do one thing (ONE!) That I could even respect.

Difference with other very opinionated people here is that I am not predisposed to be in favour of anybody, and I make very thoroughly informed opinions and choices, because I'm always reading the news.
