(Photo: Fresno Bee/Craig Kohlruss)

Louise Véronneau and Dominic Husson of Montreal, Canada had a glorious destination wedding planned. They decided to tie the knot at an animal shelter in Parlier, California.

The Cat House on the Kings (previously) is a shelter that caters to cats alone. Nearly a thousand of them were present to witness the happy couple get married. Lynea Lattanzio, the human owner of the facility, got ordained so that she could officiate. ABC 30 describes how Véronneau's and Husson's mutual love of cats brought them together:

Louise Veronneau and Dominic Husson meet in Quebec and decided to get married after dating for the past three years.
They have traveled around the world together and learned they both have a passion for animals, especially cats.
"I saw that we were sharing the same values," Veronneau said. "These are values these are the basics of our relationship and out love for animals and beings."
"We are both animal lovers and it was easy," Husson exclaimed. "She is a great person, that is why I married her."

One of the descendants of this Confederates who came to Americana (Brazil) was the Brazilian singer Rita Lee, a member of Os Mutantes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Os_Mutantes), tropicalia-rock band of the '60s.

in 1866, an year after the South's defeat, the city of Americana (São Paulo State in Brazil) was the destiny of fleeing confederates

Not exactly to 'Conquer Latin America' anymore than south-Vietnamese refugees that populated US after Hanoi debacle...

America continues to conquer lands. They are just more subtle about it now. Packaging their colonialism as "Freedom" and "Democracy".

My family is from Honduras and always spoke of William Walker as a sort of Pirate. My Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather had him put to death, and was then assassinated 2 years later.

Calling Lincoln anti-slavery is being a bit generous. Before the war he was against the *expansion* of slavery (with the end of perhaps abolishing it eventually) and once the war broke out he was primarily concerned with saving the Union, even if it meant preserving slavery. Initially he didn't even allow his generals to free slaves in captured territories. He didn't start to free the slaves in the South (with the Emancipation Proclamation) until the war was going pretty badly for him and he needed some momentum.

He did make it clear that ethically he did support the suffrage of slaves, though.

I know southern expansion seems radical now, but given the views of the day, it seems to be the logical follow up to western expansion. Why stop when you hit the Pacific? Just hang a left!
