• Abraham Lincoln signs the Emancipation Proclamation during the second year of the American Civil War, making the abolition of slavery in the Confederate states an official war goal. It proclaims the freedom of 3.1 million of the nation's four million slaves and immediately frees 50,000 of them, with the rest freed as Union armies advance.

Cool idea to post some facts. Had to copy and paste. XD

1867 AD

The Norddeutscher Bund (North German Federation) which was founded as military alliance in the previous year becomes a federal nation state. This is the beginning of the modern German nation in the sense that there's a legal continuity from then to Germany of today and, from the perspective of international law, today's Germany is the same entity that was founded in 1867, although with different borders.

Dang, I missed 1888 AD, when Germany had three emperors.
The first one, Wilhelm I. died of old age.
The second one, Friedrich III. sadly died of cancer in his throat three months later.
The third one, Wilhelm II. would later foolishly lead Germany into the First World War.

1884

Dr John Harvey Kellogg patents "flaked cereal"

Cereals are fine, but what the man did to children's genitals ... eww. ?
