Ray Charles

i belive to my soul

His biggest was that he was able to be blind and still play the piano

Becuz he is cute

The cause of his death was hepatocellular carcinoma (basically liver cancer). He was addicted to heroin for a long period of his life though.

Yes, he did! It was in the downtown area on the riverbank, down behind the old Freezes store. I was trying to find the year, but I didn't find it here! I am thinking early-mid 80's. IT WAS AWESOME!!

something

The 3 main reasons disagreements were:

Religion (King Charles I married a Catholic woman, while he was Protestant. Parliament were worried his wife would influence him to change the churches catholic.)

Power (Charles I was angry that the had to call Parliament for all his decisions for the country.)

Money (King Charles I wanted to raise taxes, but Parliament wouldn't let him.)

The most important disagreement between Charles the First and Parliament was Religion!

Charles was an Anglican Catholic, a member of the Body of Christ and a Child of God, in affect he was a member of a Catholic Communion of some 1600 years and because of his Coronation Oath he believed he had a special responsibility to protect it against its enemies both at home and abroad.

Unfortunately in Elizabeth's years the political necessities of the state were thought to demand that all citizens of England were members of the English Church and so the Calvinist Dissenters were received within the one Church! It was a mistake of enormous proportions, hopefully the young protestants would be taught the Catholic Faith by our priests and teachers, whilst the older ones amongst them would be lost through age and cold winters!! A terrible mistake! The Calvinists, were mentally stronger and more vigorous than the faithful! Moreover fear of the Romanists and the care taken by the new owners of the monastic estates to protect their ill gotten gains drew many of the nobility and gentry to the side of the Dissenters. Even more damaging was the fact that the Calvinists gained a majority in Parliament. Under Eliza, the Calvinists were pandered to, but at no time would Elizabeth allow them access to control the Church Synod, this she claimed rightly, was the business of the Bishops and Clergy. Fear of the consequences ,kept the protestants, noisy and active, after all they were acutely aware that the alternative to Elizabeth was a nominee of Rome and that Roman claims to the throne would be backed by Spanish Troops and ships as well as a Romanist faction within the country itself!

By the time of Charles and with his help the Bishops had to a great extent regained control of the Church and restored the ancient faith. How-and-ever the fear of Roman dominance had receded and the Calvinist controlled parliament played on ancient fears of Rome to attack the King in his tolerance of Romanists. They also used economic failures to attempt to undermine Charles but in 1639/40 Charles acceded to their financial and political demands. Thus Charles attempted to put the country on an even keel! It was to late, Parliament had seized the political bit, as it were and changed their tack to undermining the Church and its clergy!

There were riots in the streets of London and Westminister fomented by a political and religious caucus in Parliament, gangs of protestant men and youths roamed the streets setting up bonfires and forcing people to abjure the Church! Rioters kicked to death a Bishop outside the House of Lords! There were fears of pogroms against innocent Romanists and for a moment it appeared that Queen Mary would be arrested by the protestants. When Anglicans in Kent asked that the Parliament enforce the Prayer Book and protect the ancient church, they were arrested and the matter was forbidden to be discussed. To protect themselves the Anglicans turned to Charles and sought his aid as the ,'Supreme Governor' [under Christ,] of the Church of England! In turn to protect himself Charles was forced out of London, having no real army to enforce the law! He went north to York, the second capital!

From there, he eventually set out a proclamation calling on people to defend the Church and promising his aid. Parliament took over the city of Hull, by sending a regiment of militia to garrison the place, Charles was refused entry. Both sides started to arm and parliament started to raid the houses of Anglicans and Roman Catholics for arms. Anglican Catholic supporters risked assassination, [ the Earl of Derby in Manchester. June 1642.] The parliament tried to bring about the ruin of the Anglicans by a Bill in Parliament, which Charles refused to accept! Finally there was a war! A War of Religion, there were no political aims,Charles had already given up political power,it was about the control of the Church and parliament's Calvinist aims! It sought to adopt the ideas of the Scots and bring in a Presbyterian Polity or organisation.

In 1643, Parliament brought in Laws that banned the prayer Book and caused the eviction of Anglican priests from their livings and left the families without sustenance. The liturgy was abandoned and the prayers forbidden. Churches were left to go to ruin. Worse was to come. When finally the cause was lost,[ 1646,] and the King a prisoner. The Church was finished and the buildings turned over to the protestants. !600 years of history were overturned. The persecution of the Clergy went on apace and some were sent as indentured slaves to the Plantations. Bishops were imprisoned and the Archbishop executed by attainder, not trial!

Charles was asked in 1648 Sept, to agree to all this? If he would his estates and palaces would be restored, the money confiscated from him returned. His children would be freed and his wife would be allowed back in the Country! All he had to do was to consent to the abolition of the Anglican ,'Catholic,' Church . He was privately informed by one of the Presbyterian Lords, that this was his only chance, to agree or face the consequences!

He refused and some three months later suffered execution outside the Banqueting Hall in London!

He died [ 30th, January, 1649.] a martyr for the Anglican Church and 10 years later was Canonised by that Church.

shell shock

Millions of men came home with out a leg, an arm, or blind, or deaf, or mentally broken due to the things they had to live through in the trenches. Others had their lives cut short through the effects of poison gas, and injuries due to blast, with collapsed lungs.

Others came home whole in body, appearing normal, but with such serious nervous/mental conditions that they could not work, and were confined to mental hospitals for the rest of their lives. In addition, some were known to "See" combat zones in their normal areas. Ex: A man dove to the ground for cover when a boy rattled a stick on the fence. The veteran had thought it to be machine gun fire.

The majority were able to resume their lives, but with various amounts of disability.

It should be noted that most, especially on the Allied side, later believed the war to have been worthless.

He was a member of Shiloh Baptist Church and sang gospel music combined with the Blues and jazz.
