Wrong again it was Texas.

cpeeks, you get so much wrong that is easily checked, one wonders if you are trying to troll.

While Albert Sydney Johnson was from Texas, at the time that the Civil War broke out he was commander of the Department of California, resigning his commission in the U.S. Army when he received word of the secession of Texas.  The story of Johnson's trek across the desert with the Los Angeles Mounted Rifles as they headed east to join the Confederate cause is an interesting tale worthy of being made into a movie, but for some reason never has been.  It fits so well into the Lost Cause mythology that Hollywood embraced for a time, but I can't see it being made into a movie today.

Lol I see someones watched Gettysburg a few times, I love that movie. Longstreet: No 15,000 men ever made can take that ridge, its a distance of more than a mile when the troops come out they will be under fire from all over the field, and those are Hancocks men, and they have the stonewall like we did at Fredricksburg. Lee: We do our duty, we do what we must do.

No, I actually read in a book long before watching the movie.

Baltimore?

Yup.  By the way, we've had eleven capitols, since three different buildings in Philadelphia have served as the meeting place of Congress.

What was Robert Moses' vision for New York City, and how did he attempt to realize it?

His vision was of a city friendly to the automobile, and he tried to achieve it by bulldozing existing neighborhoods to create freeways and neglecting public transportation.

New York was at the time New Amsterdam (Captured by the British and renamed in the 1660's). That may be earlier then this period, can't remember off hand.

No it was the Province of New York by then.  New Haven had already been folded into Connecticut, but New Jersey was at that time split into East Jersey and West Jersey.  The other one was the Province of Maine.  After the Glorious Revolution and James II was sent packing, the Dominion of New England was largely undone, but Maine, Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth would remain united as one colony.
