The Early Paper Money Of Colonial America - INSIDER

On December 10, 1690, a failed attack on Quebec and
subsequent near-mutiny force the Massachusetts Bay
Colony to issue the
first paper currency in the history
of the Western Hemisphere.

With a shortage of coins and nothing else to pay the
troops with, Governor William Phips of Britain’s
Massachusetts Bay Colony faced a potential mutiny.

With no other option, the General Court of Massachusetts
ordered the printing of a limited amount of government-
backed, paper currency to pay the soldiers.

GOOD GRIEF CHARLIE BROWN!

A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)

A Charlie Brown Christmas is a animated television special.
It is the first TV special based on the comic strip Peanuts,
by
Charles M. Schulz.

The special aired on this day in 1965 for the first time and
CBS executives, unhappy with the music, the pacing, lack 
of a  laugh track and Linus reading a Bible verse (from Luke)
almost refused to air it.        

       
However, contrary to their collective apprehension, A
Charlie Brown Christmas
received high ratings and
acclaim from critics. It received an Emmy, a Peabody
Award
, and became an annual presentation

On November 30, 1876, Yale defeated Princeton, 2-0, in
Hoboken, New Jersey in the
first collegiate football game
played on Thanksgiving
.

Nearly 1,000 fans attend the game, played in cold, rainy
weather. "The friends of both colleges mustered in good
force," the New York Times reports. "Several carriages
containing ladies were on the ground, and a goodly
number of Alumni were there to cheer the contestants."

The football was oval and made of leather, the Times noted,
"similar to those used in Rugby Union rules." The game
resembled rugby more than a present-day football game.
