Today in History South Carolina became the first to ratify the Articles of Confederation in 1778. The US Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1917 over President Wilsons veto which barred immigration from nearly all of south and south eastern Asia. Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, and DW Griffith launched United Artists in 1919. And in 2009, the guided missile cruiser USS Port Royal ran aground near Oahu damaging both the ship and the coral reef.
