Hi, Backmarket hier. Die mit der erneuerten Technik, die dich weniger kostet. Wie dieses Handy. Es kann alles, was Handys halt können. Nicht nur diesen nervigen Spam-Anruf ignorieren. Es kann texten, anrufen, chatten, snoozen, liken, entliken. Einfach alles, was ein brandneues Handy kann. Aber das hier ist deutlich günstiger. Denn es ist nicht neu. Es ist von Profis auf Herz und Nieren geprüft.
Fitter Akku und 12 Monate Garantie inklusive. Es ist professionell erneuert. Nein, nicht schon wieder. Gönn dir ein Downgrade. Backmarket.
Als Kind ist einfach alles um einen herum riesengroß. Kinder haben Bedürfnisse, die man als Erwachsener zum Teil falsch einschätzt. Verschenkt man zum Beispiel eine Babypuppe, ist diese oft zu groß für kleine Kinderhände. Als Einstieg für Kinder ab einem Jahr eignet sich daher viel besser die Babyborn Lena in 36 cm.

The year is 1864. We're heading right down Main Street, here in Richmond, Virginia. You may have seen this place before, but it is a whole different city now. Richmond's the capital of the Confederacy, and it shows the place has been transformed by the war. We've got soldiers, government officials, all mixing with laborers, come to where the work is, where the munitions are made.
Look up the hill ahead. That's the Capitol building, where the state government of Virginia stands shoulder to shoulder with the Confederate Congress. Packed in like sardines, they say. And down there to the left, that's the Tredegar Ironworks on the James River. Those hulking buildings spewing smoke. Hard as it is now, you should be glad you weren't here last year. In April, the protests.
The looting, grabbing whatever they could get their hands on. Flower, shoes. It was a mess. And things haven't settled down much since. Drunken sailors, wounded soldiers on the mend. Or not. By the way, keep your hand on your wallet. There are pickpockets everywhere. Sure wasn't like this back before the war. All across the South. Makes you wonder if it'll ever come back.
Hello and welcome back to American History Hit. I'm your host, Don Wildman. From the 8th of February 1861 until the spring of 1865, 9 million people of the 11 seceded states were ruled from the Virginian State Capitol Building in Richmond. In this second episode of our series on the rebel states, we're leaving the grandiose halls of Richmond behind.
Instead, veering into the everyday lives of everyday people in the Confederate States. Hallo Aaron, schön, dass du zurück bist. Yeah, thanks for having me again. Okay, so we have 11 seceded states. Population of which was how much?
9 million total, so that's there are 5 million white southerners and 4 million black southerners.
