Digging up Civil War history in Bronzeville
Chicago News 11/05/2017, 12:55pm


While quietly digging up a Bronzeville backyard last week, archaeologists uncovered evidence of what used to sit on the same soil — a Civil War training ground and prisoner-of-war camp.

Camp Douglas sat on 60 acres in Bronzeville. More than 40,000 Union Army soldiers trained there and it held one of the largest prisons for Confederate soldiers.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
