so why rhode island? why 1542 and why thomas this is an image of doors mother lydia from the rhode island that christie so the origins of what became known as doors rebellion, they deepen the state's history. the political culture of rhode island was certainly unique. democracy flourished in rhode island in 1663, colonial charter granted by king charles. the second, however restrictive clauses based on stringent qualifications prevented ways of immigrants, mostly irish catholics, in the 1820s and thirties, from entering the body politic. the charter restricted suffrage to those men possessing real estate figure set in the year 1798 at $134, thereby most of the population, the commercial and manufacturing districts who were renting their dwellings. the election of 1840 was a watershed moment. huge rallies connected this election all across the country. without question, though, certainly in rhode island, the rise of a stable two party system in the jacksonian period led to increased efforts by political pa

we have some of this up but there was a poem he dedicated to rhode island and women of rhode island became very active helping to care for these prisoners and keep the message alive and many men were arrested and were connected so women organized and most of these took place in massachusetts outside but as you get into the suburbs and 42 after they put this down it played an essential role. his brother-in-law's in george benson, he remains upset for this clause, he never really believed that it wasn't his fault and became angry at the abolitionists later. garrison was concerned about these issues of martial law and allowing them in newport. he goes and becomes friends with the presidentve and they were bh democrats. by 1842, they deemed a constitutional convention and they vote on this. this constitution was a far by from this vision it was a one year residency onto your residency requirement for nativeborn 2134 thousand personal property. naturalized citizens 134,000 and is the former governor francis in this party and it was okay with african-americans connected to this and the view afte

he grew up in foster care here, here in rhode island.passed away from a long battle with cancer. nicholas alahverdian was 32. can't say this enough, how bizarre this next story is. yeah, as we've been telling you, . authorities say a rhode island man faked his own death and then hid out in scotland. _ nicholas rossi has gone by a variety of names over the years, one being nicholas alahverdian. he told me, "he is a dangerous man. "he's wanted in numerous states." then later on, i find out that he's alive. i said, "i don't believe it." i was like, "wow." ia court in scotland has ruled thati a man who claimed he was a victim of mistaken identity is the suspect in a series of sex crimes _ in the united states. mr rossi. i'm not mr rossi at all. ok, then. that's not arthur knight. and you were always absolutely certain it was him? 100%. i was the whistle blower. can you get out of the way? give him a bit of assistance... i've known nick 22 years. i know him better than anybody. do you at this moment in time still claim you're arthur knight? o

nicholas alahverdian was born in 1987 in the state of rhode island.ne of three children, his mother, diana, divorced his father, jack, in 1990. in 1996, she remarried, this time to a part—time engelbert humperdinck impersonator called david rossi. michael, just tell me your relationship with nicholas. nicholas is my nephew. he's my brotherjack's son. it was tough when my brother and his wife at the time divorced. i had no contact with any of them for many, many years. so, like, 15 years, i guess. where does "rossi" come from? rossi is the stepfather's name. he adopted nicholas and nicholas' siblings. the regret is that myself, my family, were never contacted when he was put into dcyf care. whatever has happened to him and the type of person he has changed into could have been avoided by simply saying, "hey, do you want to take these children in?" and i would have. and i think things would have changed. as a young teenager, he was staying in different shelters and group homes run by the dcyf — the department of children, youth and families... ..a state

rhode islandad had a lot of conservative democrats in addition to the whig party. dorr, once again, was a former whig, and a lot of whigs were reformers. dorr fell into that category. john brown francis was trying to thread the needle, if you will, and to find a way for the assembly to call another constitutional convention and to put in it some provisions that would appease dorr, the suffrage association, meet them halfway and maybe bring them into the fold. and, of course, this did not really work out. thereid were some hard-liners on both sides, and this is where things begin to get out of hand as you get into the spring. rhode island then had two governors, but there was that path called the road not taken on the dorr rebell onproject web site. and i will stop sharing in a moment here. i'm just going to drop if that link for those on the call so you can actually check out the web site. we want people to the look at, of course -- teachers to use for students. we've gotten some wonderful communication over the years. we're very fortunate. the link is now in the c
