Oliver Otis Howard (November 8, 1830 – October 26, 1909) was a career United States Army officer and a Uniongeneral in the American Civil War. As a brigade commander in the Army of the Potomac, Howard lost his right arm while leading his men against Confederate forces at Fair Oaks in June 1862, an action which later earned him the Medal of Honor. As a corps commander, he suffered two humiliating defeats at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg in May and July 1863, but recovered from the setbacks as a successful corps and later army commander in the Western Theater.
Known as the "Christian general" because he tried to base his policy decisions on his deep religious piety, he was given charge of the Freedmen's Bureau in mid-1865, with the mission of integrating the freed slaves into Southern society and politics during the second phase of the Reconstruction Era. Howard took charge of labor policy, setting up a system that required free slaves to work on former plantation land under pay scales fixed by the Bureau, on terms negotiated by the Bureau with white land owners. Howard's Bureau was primarily responsible for the legal affairs of the freedmen. He attempted to protect freed blacks from hostile conditions, but lacked adequate power, and was repeatedly frustrated by President Andrew Johnson. Howard's allies, the Radical Republicans, won control of Congress in the 1866 elections and imposed Radical Reconstruction, with the result that freedmen were given the vote. With the help and advice of the Bureau, freedmen joined Republican coalitions and won at the ballot boxes of most of the southern states. Howard was also a leader in promoting higher education for freedmen, most notably in founding of Howard University in Washington and serving as its president 1867–73.
I just want a send a special, special thank you today Anyone who donated a little of something in the collection can God won't forget you Now this next song is a song about writing this song Now I'm not some profound visionary But this specific incision didn't particularly take too long I was just running up this back stage stairs And suddenly it dawned to me What a good idea, true inspiration But with no pen or paper to record the creation I aborted the plans of grand innovation And stood bored pacing on the wood floor waiting for more wars to Gore for my planning and Maybe I'm not cut out for this writing game I thought for a brief second But then it was like the lightning hit through me in a complete head spin And kept punching me with raising concepts rhyme patterns and song interruptions With long floods that dropped fire struck until I was finally finished And in a matter of minutes consciousness is linked with being inventive infinite And one of my friends happened to have a pen So I wrote it all down on my hand That was that Thank you We're just gonna Thank you thank you We're just gonna pass the collection around one more time Try to find it in your pockets and your hearts to donate all your money
