1567 – Bloody Mary, Queen of Scots is deposed, and replaced by her 1 yr. old son.
1725 — John Newton is born. He is the slag that brought us the song “Amazing Grace“. They just did a movie about this but I don’t think it did so amazing at the Box Office. That dude in it was HOT, though. Don’t be surprised if he’s the History Slag for tomorows.
1823 — Slavery is abolished in Chile.
1847 – Brigham Young and his band of Mormon slags settle in Salt Lake City after 17 months of travel. Damn!
