Today in History The SS Savannah left (strangely enough) Savannah, Georgia in 1819 for Liverpool, England where it arrived on June 20, thus successfully completing the first steamship transAtlantic crossing. Abraham Lincoln received a patent for a device to lift boats over obstacles in a river in 1849 long before his presidency-only built by susequent generations as a curiousity, the patent remains the only one ever issued to a President. President Grant signed the Amnesty Act into law in 1872 which restored full civil and political rights to all but about 500 Confederate sympathizers. Mexico entered WW II on the side of the Allies in 1942 easing US fears of a southern front. Microsoft released Windows 3.0 in 1990. And in 2002, former KKK member Bobby Frank Cherry was convicted of four counts of murder in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing of 1963 in Birmingham, Alabama. He was sentenced to life and died in 2004 at 74 claiming he was a political prisoner.
