"This photograph shows a soldier in uniform, wife in dress and hat, and two daughters wearing matching coats and hats. In May 1863, U.S. Secretary of War Edwin Stanton issued General Order No. 143 creating the Bureau of U. S. Colored Troops. This image was found in Cecil County, Maryland, making it likely that this soldier belonged to one of the seven U.S.C.T. regiments raised in Maryland. "

Rebecca Ann Latimer Felton, the first female US Senator. She served two days in office, November 21st, 1922 to November 22nd, 1922.

She said that in order to protect white women from black men, one thousand black men should be lynched a week to prevent rape and protect white womanhood.

“If it takes lynching to protect women’s dearest possession from drunken, ravening beasts,” she said, “then I say lynch a thousand a week.”
