First American Soldier Killed in Vietnam

On this day in 1945, Lt. Col. Peter Dewey, became the first American soldier killed in Vietnam.  Dewey was a U.S. Army officer with the Office of Strategic Services and was the head of a seven-man team sent to Vietnam to search for missing American pilots and to gather information on the situation in the country after the surrender of the Japanese.

Two decades later Democrat President John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson would send up to 500,000 American troops to fight in Vietnam. By the time the Vietnam War was over, 58,000 young American boys, many of whom had been drafted and forced to go to Vietnam to fight, had been killed.

Lincoln Issues Emancipation Proclamation

Frees Slaves in Confederate States Only

Recasts Civil War as fight against slavery

Intended in part to discourage France from supporting Confederacy


On this day in 1862, President Abraham Lincoln used his executive war powers as justification for issuance of a preliminary Emancipation Proclamation effective only in the states of the Confederacy, and nowhere else in the United States.  The proclamation set a date for the freedom of more than 3 million black slaves in the Confederacy and effectively recast the Civil War as a fight against slavery.
