ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY

by Bob Walsh

In 1087 William the Conqueror died in Rouen, France.  He was conducting a war he began because the French king called him fat.  He was.

In 1776 the Continental Congress formally adopted the term The United States to replace the previously used term United Colonies to describe their constinuency.

In 1786 George Washington made a strong plea for the abolition of slavery within the United States.
