American Soccer History Timeline Dating back to 1620 this is a brief view of chronology of United States soccer history.
American folklore asserts that Pilgrim Fathers, upon settling at Plymouth Rock found American Indians along the Massachusetts coast playing a form of soccer. The Indians called it " P asuckquakkohwog ," which means "they gather to play football."
Many American colleges played soccer, but there was no intercollegiate competition. Rules were casual and changed often.
The Oneidas of Boston, the first organized soccer club in America, were formed by Gerritt Miller Smith. The Oneidas were undefeated from 1862-65. A monument now stands in Boston Common, where the Oneidas played their home matches.
Soccer was initiated as an organized college sport in the USA in the years following the Civil War. Princeton and Rutgers Universities engaged in the first intercollegiate soccer match November 6, 1876, in New Brunswick, N.J. Rutgers won the match 6-4. The game was more similar to both rugby and soccer than gridiron football.
Thousands of British immigrants arrived in the metropolitan areas of the East, Midwest and Pacific Coast. Communities with textile mills, shipyards, quarries or mines also had soccer teams among its immigrant population, a pattern occurring all over the world during the time of the Industrial Revolution.

"The Two Sisters" America probably could not have won its freedom from the British during the American Revolution without the help of the French. France provided arms, ships, money, and men to the American colonies. Some Frenchmen - most notably the Marquis de Lafayette, a close friend of George Washington - even became high-ranking officers in the American army. It was an alliance of respect and friendship the French would not forget. Almost 100 years later, in 1865, according to Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi, a successful 31-year-old sculptor, several French intellectuals opposed to the oppressive regime of Napoleon III were at a small dinner party discussing their admiration for America's success in establishing a democratic government and abolishing slavery at the end of the Civil War. The dinner was hosted by Edouard Rene Lefebvre de Laboulaye. Laboulaye was a scholar, jurist, abolitionist and a leader of the "liberals," the political group dedicated to establishing a French republican government modeled on America's constitution. During the evening, talk turned to the close historic ties and love of liberty the two nations shared. Laboulaye noted there was "a genuine flow of sympathy" between the two nations, and called France and America "the two sisters."

Nathaniel Michler Young Heroes of History Series -Reading level: Ages 9-12 Send 'Em South is an adventure story that brings the two conflicting worlds of North and South together. In the years just prior to the Civil War, David Adams grows up in the middle of two worlds. His father is an Irish immigrant who is ridiculed and ignored by the people of Boston. His mother is an abolitionist who has dedicated her life to ending slavery. David, as the son of these two, finds himself an outcast amongst his friends and even his family. The second in Alan N. Kay's Young Heroes of History series, On the Trail of John Brown's Body, is every bit as good as the first. Whereas that book juxtaposed the plight of a slave family and a northern family filled with abolitionists and sympathetics, this book follows the adventures of two boys and their fathers as they journey to the Kansas Territory in the days when John Brown cast the longest shadow in the land. Disgusted by the violence of the John Brown raid, George Adams adopts the state of Virginia and its cause as his own. The war does not go well for the South, and when the North's cannons destroy the city, George is horrified. Then, when he finds a poor starving girl, George realizes that he is the only one that can save her. Off to Fight is a story of growing up. It is a story of the brutality of war and the kindness that takes place in the middle of such horrors.

Kennedy Library and Museum, visitors will see a gown made 44 years ago whose 50 yards of ivory silk taffeta have been carefully preserved for future generations of museum-goers to reflect upon and admire. Behind the scene of the First Lady's wedding dress display, which will be featured in a special exhibit on the wedding of John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Lee Bouvier through Labor Day, is the work of the Textile Conservation Center (TCC) - a nonprofit regional conservation center and department of the American Textile History Museum in Lowell. "The project began last year in cooperation with JFK Library's curator, Frank Rigg, and designer, Amy Foreman," says Deirdre Windsor, Chief Conservator of the TCC," when we were invited to the Library to examine the condition of the dress fabric. The task of preparing the dress for exhibit was actually two projects: conserving the wedding gown itself, and custom-making a mannequin for display purposes."

Women's History
Abigail Adams
American first lady Abigail Adams helped plant the seeds that would start women and men thinking about women's rights and roles in a country that had been founded on the ideals of equality and independence.
Introduction
Abigail Adams was born Abigail Smith on November 11, 1744, in Weymouth, Massachusetts, a farm community about fifteen miles southeast of Boston. Her family on both sides had lived in the colonies for several generations and was well established in the more influential circles of society. Her father, William Smith, the son of a well-to-do Boston merchant, was a Harvard graduate who served as a minister in Weymouth. Her mother, Elizabeth Quincy Smith, descended from a long line of prosperous, educated, and well-reputed New Englanders.

TALLAHASSEE Governor Jeb Bush and First Lady Columba Bush announced the winners of the fourth annual Black History Month essay contest for K-12 students during their annual Black History Month reception. The reception at the Governor's mansion marks the beginning of a month-long celebration honoring the contributions African Americans have made throughout Florida's history. Students' essays were focused on the theme, "What Impact Has an African American Educator from Florida Had on My Life." During the reception, Governor Bush also announced a month-long schedule of events designed to pay tribute to African-American history and culture in Florida. "Columba and I are proud to join Floridians in celebrating the contributions of Florida's African-American educators. Florida continues to see rising student achievement, with the greatest learning gains among minority students," said Governor Bush. "The more than 4,500 essays submitted for this contest are a testament to the important role Florida teachers play in bettering the lives of our children. I applaud the thousands of educators who dedicate their lives to give Florida students the tools needed for a successful future." Jonathan Green is a celebrated painter of the Southern experience, whose work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. His paintings chronicle the oral history and vibrant lives of his extended family and neighbors from the rural African American community of his childhood in South Carolina.

A Curriculum of United States Labor History for Teachers.
Sponsored by the Illinois Labor History Society
[Table of Contents]
Introduction
The United States has the bloodiest history of labor of any industrialized nation on Earth. It is a story rich in human drama and tragedy. It is also one of progress and hope. This is a resource that teachers of United States history can use to incorporate our rich social and labor history into their courses. Using the ideas employed here teachers will increase student understanding of the American economic system and the important issues we all face as workers today. The concepts and lessons will build on each other so that at the end of the school year the student should have a working knowledge of the importance of labor in society. A guiding theme of this work is how laborers have earned a voice in the workplace and increased their share of the economic pie. Teachers should highlight the stark contrast between today's working environment and the relationship between workers and owners of the past. The scope of United States history has been divided into eleven basic periods. These will correspond with the unit divisions that many modern textbook companies use. In each period the main events and issues of US labor history are introduced. Concepts, ideas and resources are presented to aid the teacher. In several of the units specific lessons are available for immediate use.

AMERICAN CULTURAL HISTORY
T he sixties were the age of youth, as
70 million children from the post-war baby boom became teenagers and young adults. The movement away from the conservative fifties continued and eventually resulted in revolutionary ways of thinking and real change in the cultural fabric of American life. No longer content to be images of the generation ahead of them, young people wanted change. The changes affected education, values, lifestyles, laws, and entertainment. Many of the revolutionary ideas which began in the sixties are continuing to evolve today
T he purpose of this web and library guide is to help the user gain a broad understanding and appreciation for the culture and history of the 1960s. In a very small way, this is a bibliographic essay. While there is no way we can link to everything, we have attempted to find areas of special interest and to select information that we hold dear today - movies we watch, songs we sing, events that move us, people we admire.

    Ten Defining Moments in the History of the American First Lady, 1900-2000
    In the life of an institution, a defining moment is thought to be one that provides particular clarity and helps us to understand the institution's history and how it has evolved. In the twentieth century, The Office of First Lady has seen many of these moments positive and negative, heroic, admirable, and humorous. As we plunge into the twenty-first century, it would be useful to examine ten moments that helped define the American first lady from 1900-2000. These ten defining moments have been culled from hundreds of events, and while omissions are inevitable, examining each event and its significance will provide insight into the institutional changes in The Office of First Lady over the last century.

Since no human being had flown in space yet when the astronaut fitness tests were designed, the Lovelace doctors required very thorough examinations. These included numerous X-rays and a four-hour eye exam. A specially weighted stationary bicycle pushed the women to exhaustion while testing their respiration. The doctors had the women swallow a rubber tube so that they could test their stomach acids. A tilt table tested circulation. Using an electrical pulse, the physicians tested nerve reflexes in their arms. Ice water was shot into the women's ears to induce vertigo so that the doctors could time how quickly they recovered. They calculated the candidates' lean body mass using a nuclear counter in Los Alamos. By the end of the week, the women had no secrets from the Lovelace physicians.
