This day in History through the years  

I saw a post that mentioned that today was the day that America dropped the Atomic-bomb in Japan in 1945, so I thought of all the other things that happened that day as well, in other years.
1787- US constitution draft was debated in Philadelphia
1806- Holy Roman empire went out of existence
1825- Bolivia got independence
1890- First use of the electric chair
1928- Andy Warhol was born
1962- Jamaica became an independent dominion under the British commonwealth
1965- Lyndon B. Johnson, president of the US, signed the voting rights act
1978- The Pope (VI) died
1998- Bill Clinton's mistress testified over their affair
2005- Mother, Cindy Sheehan, held a weeks-long protest, over the death of her son in Iraq, outside of President Bush's ranch in Texas
I hope you enjoyed reflecting on the past, though some of it was not so pleasant.
