Commenced in the june of 1812. Since that time the administration, having relentlessly avoided any imposition of the suppression of the present speech alluded to in the bill of rights, this administration has been most fervent in not disturbing the rights of the American People. The accessibility to freedom of speech and the press has found great opposition in this administration. The outbreaks and riots in baltimore that occurred shortly after the declaration in july of 1812 in baltimore affected how many citizens supported the war. The outcome was the consequence of the publications. My friend, henry lee, had suffered that is the consequence of that there. We were not about suppress the press on those matters. You had seen a reflection in the country and in the unit new england state. We have seen their expressions of discontent, even amongst those in the democratic republican party, who expressed reservations about the war. But let us talk to the war itself.

Not just a southern thing. Omaha, nebraska. St. Louis, chicago, illinois. All erupted in race riots. Millions of workers, about 4 million workers are going to go on strike in 1919. And this wave of labor unrest then fed into this conservative mood. It seemed to spark hysteria. This is a time when we are dealing with the red scare. The red scare with the bolshevik revolution being so fresh, that americans now determined that perhaps bolshevism had come to the american shores and were undermining the capitalist system as we speak, right .

SARB is the oldest central bank in Africa, and it opened for business on 30 June 1921, issuing its first notes to the public on 19 April 1922.
At the time, banknotes issued to the public by commercial banks needed to be backed by gold, but when the price of gold in the UK climbed, a profit could be turned by converting banknotes into gold in SA and then selling it in London.
