Medacier, Odiane: CAPITAL: State
2. Adoption of the Act Comment by Medacier, Odiane: You
did not say how this reform was adopted/voted in the
legislature. Everything you say here ia about rational and what
the reform is.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was the rationale for Florida
state implementation of a health insurance marketplace called
Florida Health Choices in 2014. The ACA was passed by the
federal government in 2010, requiring all states to create a
health insurance marketplace. The marketplace is designed to
help residents compare and purchase health insurance plans.
The marketplace offers a variety of health plans, including
private plans and plans from the state's Medicaid program.
Florida residents can also use the marketplace to apply for
federal subsidies to help pay for health insurance. In addition to
the health insurance marketplace, Florida has implemented
several other health reform initiatives in response to the ACA.
For example, the state has expanded its Medicaid program to
cover more low-income residents. The expansion is funded by a
combination of federal and state resources.
In addition, Florida has created a statewide health insurance
exchange, a marketplace for health insurance plans. The
exchange offers a variety of health plans, including private
plans and plans from the state's Medicaid program. Florida
residents can also use the exchange to apply for federal
subsidies to help pay for health insurance. Florida has also
implemented several reforms to improve the quality of health
care. For example, the state has created a quality improvement
organization to help health care providers improve the quality
of care. The organization provides resources and technical
assistance to health care providers. In addition, Florida has
implemented several initiatives to improve the quality of care in
nursing homes. For example, the state has created a quality
assurance team to inspect nursing homes and identify problems.

from?
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) provides funding for the heal th
insurance marketplace in Florida. The state of Florida also
spends money on several health care quality initiatives. Florida
also spends money on public health initiatives. The state also
funds a program called Florida Healthy Kids.

Millie taught the Civil War." November 6, 2017. Accessed

“Miss Millie” was the popular nickname of Mildred Lewis
Rutherford, one of the most important Southern figures that
Americans know the least about. Born into a wealthy slave-
owning family in 1851, Rutherford became the principal of a
female academy in Athens, Georgia. She was an early and active
member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, working
her way up to become the organization’s “historian general” in
1911.
From that perch, Rutherford led the effort to purge Southern
school textbooks of “Yankee” sentiment. That meant
eliminating any books that tried to strike a balanced or neutral
stance, “on the order of ‘we thought we were right,’ rather than
‘we were right,’” wrote one Confederate military veteran in
1902. “We did know we were right then, and we do know it
now,” he added. “And we have the right, therefore, to insist that
our children shall be told the truth about it, and we should be
content with nothing less.”
Rutherford sent hundreds of women into classrooms and school
offices to make sure their truth remained unqualified into the
next generation. They came armed with her pamphlet, A
Measuring Rod to Test Textbooks. It provided a handy checklist
to help them define and defend Confederate orthodoxy.
6. “Reject a book that speaks of the Constitution other than [as] a
compact between Sovereign States,” Rutherford instructed, “that
calls the Confederate soldier a traitor or rebel, and the war a
rebellion…that says the South fought to hold her slaves…that
speaks of the slaveholder of the South as cruel and unjust to his
slaves…that glorifies Abraham Lincoln and vilifies Jefferson
Davis.”
To Rutherford, the first point was the most important one. If the
Constitution was an agreement between states rather than a
national bond of citizens, then each state retained the right to
leave the nation when it so chose. So it was the North—and not
the South—that had violated America’s founding compact, by
using force to prevent secession. “There was a rebellion,”
Rutherford told her assembled aides at a UDC convention, “but
it was north of Mason and Dixon’s line.”
Nor was the war about slaves, who, according to Rutherford,
“were the happiest set of people on the face of the globe, free
from care or thought of food, clothes, home.” Why, then, did
the North invade the South? Rutherford’s pamphlet blamed it all
upon Lincoln, whose imperious and vengeful character led him
into a war of conquest. Hardly a suitable model for young
children, Lincoln used uncouth language and once even denied
the divinity of Christ. By comparison, the Confederacy’s
president was a paragon of virtue, she argued. Davis “never
stood for coarse jokes, never violated the Constitution, never
stood for retaliation. Lincoln,” Rutherford wrote, “stood for all
of these.”
But wherever Rutherford and her lieutenants looked, Southern
textbooks flouted these Confederate truths. Angry
correspondents reported that some history books still praised
Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation, which Rutherford
called unconstitutional. Nor were other school subjects immune
from the “Yankee” virus. One observer found that New Orleans
schools taught music from a book that included “The Battle
Hymn of the Republic,” the iconic fight song of the Union
Army. In Texas, an arithmetic textbook asked children to
7. calculate Union general Ulysses S. Grant’s age on the day he
captured Vicksburg.
After Confederate veterans petitioned Texas governor Thomas
M. Campbell in 1908 to remove the math book from the state’s
list of approved texts, its publisher issued a new edition that
replaced the offending “Yankee word problem” with a more
regionally appropriate one. The revised version asked students
to determine the amount of time that elapsed between Texas’
independence from Mexico and its annexation into the United
States.
The Texas episode illustrated a common pattern: when
Confederate organizations complained, textbook publishers
altered their wares. Some book companies issued so-called mint
julep editions to satisfy the Southern market, expunging words
such as treason and rebellion. But Rutherford and her aides
found that many districts continued to use “Yankee” versions,
which included the hated language of shared valor and
responsibility.
In response, the UDC sponsored essay contests that exposed
children to Confederate mythology in case their textbooks failed
at the task. State and local chapters offered prizes to the best
essays drawing on interviews with ex-slaveholders, who
presumably would teach youngsters about the benign nature of
the institution. Slavery was “the happiest time of the negroes’
existence,” read a winning entry in 1915 by one Virginia high
school student. “The slave was a member of the family, often a
privileged member. He was the playmate, brother, exemplar,
friend, and companion of the white man from cradle to grave.”

8. Beginning in about 1890 and continuing until 1968, white
Americans established thousands of towns across the United
States for whites only. Many towns drove out their black
populations, then posted sundown signs. ... Other towns passed
ordinances barring African Americans after dark or prohibiting
them from owning or renting property; still others established
such policies by informal means, harassing and even killing
those who violated the rule. Some sundown towns similarly kept
out Jews, Chinese, Mexicans, Native Americans, or other
groups.

9. On February 25, 1870, exactly 143 years ago today, Hiram R.
Revels was sworn into the U.S. Senate, making him the first
black person to ever sit in Congress.
After the Reconstruction Act of 1867 was passed by a majority-
Republican Congress, the South was divided into five military
districts and all men, regardless of race were granted voting
rights. Revels was elected by the Mississippi legislature, and
seven black representatives were later elected for states like
Alabama, South Carolina, Florida and Georgia thanks, in large
part, to the support of African American voters.
Revels and some 15 other black men served in Congress during
Reconstruction, and more than 600 served in state legislatures,
while hundreds held local offices.

The carving was conceived by Mrs. C. Helen Plane,[12] a
charter member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy
(UDC). Sam Venable, active in the Ku Klux Klan and owner of
the mountain, deeded the north face of the mountain to the UDC
in 1916. The UDC was given 12 years to complete a sizable
Civil War monument. Gutzon Borglum, also heavily involved
with the Klan, was commissioned to do the carving. Borglum
abandoned the project in 1925 (and later went on to begin
Mount Rushmore). The US Mint issued a 1925 Commemorative
silver US half dollar, bearing the words "Stone Mountain", as
part of a fundraiser for the monument.[13] American sculptor
Augustus Lukeman continued until 1928, when further work
stopped for thirty years. In 1941 segregationist Governor
Eugene Talmadge formed the Stone Mountain Memorial
Association (SMMA) to continue work on the memorial, but the
project was delayed once again by the U.S. entry into World
War II (1941–45)

Oklahoma Sundown Towns:
In 1922, when college students in Norman, OK., hired a black
jazz band to play at a dance one night, a white mob carrying
guns and nooses attacked the dance hall. "Negroes are
occasionally seen on the streets of Norman in the daytime, but
the 'rule' that they leave at night is strictly enforced," the
Oklahoma City Black Dispatch, a black newspaper, reported,
and noted, "Several other Oklahoma towns have similar
customs."
Among those other towns was Marlow, OK. In 1923, a mob
killed a Marlow hotel owner and the black man he'd hired as a
janitor. The Pittsburgh Courier, a black newspaper, reported:
"Marlow's unwritten law, exemplified by prominent public signs
bearing the command: 'Negro, don't let the sun go down on you
here,' caused the death Monday night of A.W. Berch, prominent
hotel owner, and the fatal wounding of Robert Jernigan, the first
colored man who stayed here more than a day in years. Marlow,
one of the several towns in Oklahoma which has not allowed
our people to settle in their vicinity for years, has abided by the
custom of permitting no members of the race to remain there
after nightfall."

The lynching of Laura Nelson and her son, several dozen
onlookers.
May 25, 1911, Okemah, Oklahoma.
Austin, Laura and their son L.D. Nelson were taken into custody
after L.D. Nelson allegedly shot and killed George H. Loney,
Okemah's deputy sheriff, when Loney and a posse turned up at
the Nelson's home to investigate the theft of a cow belonging to
a Mr. Claude Littrell. Laura's husband pleaded guilty to the
theft and was sent to the state prison at McAlester in the town
of the same name for three years. Some accounts say in an
effort to save her son, Laura said she had fired the fatal shot.
Both she and L.D. were arrested and placed in jail at Okemah
before their position their was compromised at the Old
Schoolton Bridge by lynching.
A teen, Lawrence Nelson, thought the officer was going for his
weapon and shot the deputy in the leg. Loney was refused water
and bled to death, outraging whites. A posse formed to arrest
the Nelson family, which was transported to the Okemah jail,
according to Klein’s book. A week later, a mob of Okemah
20. citizens transported Laura Nelson, Lawrence and her infant to a
North Canadian River bridge west of town.
“The woman was raped by members of the mob before she was
hanged,” The Associated Press reported.
Photographer George H. Farnum captured the image of two
corpses dangling over the river as several dozen Caucasian
onlookers posed on the bridge. After no one claimed the bodies,
the two Nelsons were buried at nearby Greenleaf Cemetery, in
unmarked graves. The elder Nelson went to prison, and the
baby’s fate is unclear, according to conflicting reports.
The Okemah Ledger published the lynching photo, which
became a reprinted postcard sold as a novelty item at local
stores, Klein wrote.

~The Omaha Bee, 1919
Brown ended up in the hands of the crazed mob. He was beaten
into unconsciousness. His clothes were torn off by the time he
reached the building's doors. Then he was dragged to a nearby
lamp pole on the south side of the courtho use at 18th and
Harney around 11:00 p.m. The mob roared when they saw
Brown, and a rope was placed around his neck. Brown was
hoisted in the air, his body spinning. He was riddled with
bullets. His body was then brought down, tied behind a car, and
towed to the intersection of 17th and Dodge. There the body
was burned with fuel taken from nearby red danger lamps and
fire truck lanterns. Later, pieces of the rope used to lynch
Brown were sold for 10 cents each. Finally, Brown's charred
body was dragged through the city's downtown streets.
Although some of the leaders of the lynching were placed on
trial, most received suspended sentences, or were convicted of
minor offenses such as destruction of public property.

When Abram Smith tried to free himself from the noose as his
body was hauled up by the rope, he was lowered and then his
arms broken to prevent him from trying to free himself again.

Tulsa, OK, May 31-June 1, 1921
Believed to be the worst incident of racial violence in
American history
May 30: Dick Rowland, 19, an African American shoe shiner,
got onto an elevator operated by Sarah Page, 17.
Page screamed & stated that Rowland grabbed her by the arm.
He was arrested that afternoon by city police.
May 31: The Tulsa Tribune reported that Rowland had
attempted to rape Page.
June 1: Mob of angry whites looted and burned the Greenwood
Avenue business district, known as “Black Tulsa”
June 2: 35 city blocks lay in ruins, 800+ treated for injuries
Official estimate 10 whites and 26 blacks killed. Later reports
23. stated 300 killed.
Rowland was exonerated. No whites were ever sent to prison for
the crimes that occurred during the riot.
1997: a team of scientists and historians uncovered evidence
that unidentified riot victims had been buried in unmarked
graves.
While it is still uncertain as to precisely what happened in the
Drexel Building on May 30, 1921, the most common
explanation is that Rowland stepped on Page's foot as he
entered the elevator, causing her to scream.
