Présidents Américains de George Washington à Barack Obama - A/ 1er au 10e Présidents - 1789-1797 George Washington George Wahington est né le 22 février 1732 en Virginie dans une famille de planteurs. Les récits rapportés de son enfance le décrivent comme un jeune homme ayant un grand sens de l'intégrité et du devoir. La mort de son père alors qu’il n’a encore que 11 ans lui impose une lourde tache; il va devoir prendre en charge sa famille. Ses talents de cavalier lui permettent d'être nommé à 16 ans intendant du nouveau comté de Culpepo. Alors qu'il ne possède aucune expérience militaire, la bravoure dont il fait part dans le conflit qui oppose la Grande-Bretagne à la France lui permet d’être nommé colonel des troupes de Virginie en août 1755. A partir de 1759 jusqu'à l'aube de la guerre d'indépendance, il se retire dans le domaine familial de Mont Vernon. Le second Congrès Continental se déroule à Philadelphie en mai 1775. Il accepte cette lourde fonction et prend la tête d'une armée inentraînée, qui manque d'armes et qui ne dispose pas d'uniformes. Il est réélu en 1792 pour un second mandat.

History : The USA Buffalo Bill "In 1886, Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show played to over one million people in New York city. It was one of the most elaborate shows on earth: there were cowboys and Indians, sharp shooters including the famed Annie Oakley, hundreds of horses, buffalo, elk and donkeys, and more than two hundred cast members, all moving about in a sweeping western landscape of mountains and plains. Soon after the show's stunning success in New York, it would go on to dazzle crowds in London, Paris, Rome and Barcelona, cementing the legend of the Wild West in the minds of people around the globe. Behind the extravaganza was one man -- a meager plainsman turned international celebrity and frontier hero, whose meteoric rise to fame was made possible only by his genius, and his hucksterism. His name was William Cody,better known to the world as Buffalo Bill."

Even in Shadow of Massacre, Connecticut’s Gun Law Faced Uphill Fight Photo HARTFORD — Almost from the moment that Adam Lanza ended his siege, it seemed that Connecticut, dominated by Democrats and already with some of the nation’s toughest gun laws, would quickly pass sweeping new restrictions on firearms. Its legislature did so on Thursday. The driving force was the massacre of 26 children and educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14. Democrats, who control both houses of the General Assembly and the governor’s mansion, could have passed legislation without a Republican vote. While Connecticut is a relatively small state and more liberal-leaning than most, the wrenching debate here was intently followed far beyond its borders. The new laws include a ban on the sale of magazines carrying more than 10 rounds and requires registration of existing ones.
