The naval side of the civil war in Florida all started with the Pensacola harbor. There was a navy yard and three forts guarding the harbor, including Fort Barrancas, Fort McRee, and Fort Pickins. On January 8, 1861, Florida Governor Madison S. Perry authorized Colonel Chase to seizing the forts at Pensacola. On the Fort Barrancas, 1st Lieutenant Adam J. Slemmer was an officer from Montgomery County, Pennsylvania during the Seminole Wars and the American Civil War. He heard rumors that the Florida Militia was planning on seizing the Navy Yard, the barracks and the forts in the Pensacola areas. With Slemmer not wanting to enter the union he moved gunpowder and other materials to Fort Pickens, which he thought, would be the safest port to fight from.

On September 24, 2016 I had the privilege of visiting the USS Midway Historical Museum. My friend Michelle, who is also a CBU student, accompanied me while we explored this fantastic site. I was recommended to tour the USS Midway by my German foreign exchange student who was able to visit the attraction a couple weeks earlier. Niels emphasized how much he enjoyed his visit and explained that it was a shame that I had not been there earlier, due to the fact that I live so close to San Diego. It was Niel’s advice, paired with my prior interest in the history of this battleship that inspired me to finally see it for myself.

I served in the civil war, however, I was most famous for my quote at the Battle of Mobile Bay in 1864, where I served as a admiral leading across a field of torpedoes, saying “Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!” After serving in the civil war in 1866, I was promoted to the rank of a four star admiral, which was new rank the United States created. I was the first person to serve as a rear, vice, and four star admiral. I died on August 14, 1870, and was buried at the Woodlawn Cemetery in Bronx New York, where my monument

There are an infinitely amount of events that have occurred throughout the history of mankind. Yet, it is impossible for any single person to recollect or to have lived through all of the events that have happened in the world. Because of this, we as a society can only witness second-hand what has been documented by those who actually lived through these events before us. With this documentation comes a lot of trust, because without living through historical events, it is impossible for one to really know what is and isn’t true. This is why we must ensure that the history that is remembered, is in fact the truth, and the entire story. Unfortunately, those in power have chosen to leave out many portions of our history; and as a society, we must change this so that truth prevails. A prime example of this is the Battle of Liberty Place Monument in Louisiana. The Battle of Liberty Place monument in Louisiana only tells half the history of an event that should never be forgotten. The vision it currently displays is that White lives mean more than Blacks lives do, and it does this by honoring only the lives lost of racist White supremacists in a fight of discrimination. This is atrocious and yet this ideal that Black lives don’t matter has been present and still affects American society to this day. We plan on changing this monument to show the whole truth of the event, and highlighting the terrible racism that occurred during this event so that we may learn from it, and never
