A64: 4

A65: 1st : Holy Roman Empire; 2nd : Otto Von Bismarck's German Unification; “regime”; Holy Roman Empire; Otto Von Bismarck's Kulturkampf.

A66: Holy Roman Empire; December 25, 800-August 1806; The Empire was formally dissolved on 6

August 1806 when the last Holy Roman Emperor Francis II (from 1804, Emperor Francis I of Austria)

abdicated, following a military defeat by the French under Napoleon at Austerlitz (see Treaty of Pressburg) The non-Holy non-Roman non-Empire was really just a “collection of countries whose populations consist of stinky German barbarians, who got jealous of the mighty Roman empire and decided to call their country with a similar name” lol “Holy Roman Empire was like the children of alcoholics who rebeled, and got purity rings and got into Christian Rock.” ~Colin Quinn; Khan's Academy says that the Holy Roman Empire fell after Napoleon defeated the 3rd Coalition.

A67: John Hunt Morgan

A68: Governance without regard to Idealism.

A69: The struggle is real, and we shouldn't make it harder on others. We should either liberate them

from the struggle, or work to ease the burden of the struggle for others, or we should do no harm to

others whatsoever, for any reason.

A70: 6 (Six). At 12 years of age, we are stretching our imaginations a bit, unless the Black forests of

Germany were as Grimm as the Brothers tell us, to think that William Gripshöver would be forced at

gunpoint into the military; although it's possible. Besides him, however, from Henry Gripshöver, at 15

years of age all of the way up to 58 year old father Johann, all could have be conscripted, which makes

for a total of 6. If we subtract the women, then there's 4 conscriptable men in the Gripshöver

household. If we subtract the women and the old man, then there's 3: Johann the Younger, Henry, and

William. Still, looking at losing 3 of your healthiest grown men to the Otto Von Bismarck machine

probably didn't sit well with them.

Here's the ages and names of the pioneering Gripshövers: Johann “Barney” Gripshöver the

Elder (58), Catherine “Kate” Gripshöver the Elder (45), Catherine Kate Gripshöver the Younger (20),

Johann “Barney” Gripshöver the Younger (18), Henry Gripshöver (15), William Gripshöver (12), …

Theodore Gripshöver (9)? That's it. Ferdinand was 7 years old, and Josef was 3.

A71: Nobody knows why. Not specifically. We can only speculate.

A72: 5 (Five). On Q70, we learned that probably 6 could have been conscripted in 1869, but in 1866,

William would have been 9 years old, much too young, a mere child, to be sending to the frontlines, but

Henry would be 12, which we already determined was a.... maybe... okay. Yeah. They're barbaric.

Destroyed the Roman Empire. Then took it over. Then lost it. Then gained it back. Lost it again. But

are gaining it back ever so Merkelily. So that leaves 5 still able to be conscripted in 1866. Minus the

women, that's 3, and minus the old man, that's 2. So at the very most, Johann the Elder (55), Catherine

the Elder (42), Catherine the Younger (16), Johann the Younger (15), and 12 year old Henry could have

fought in the 1866 Austro-Prussian War. Most likely, however, 15 year old Johann the Younger fought

in the war, and quite possibly, 12 year old Henry. Johann the Younger may have also fought in the

Schleswig-Holstein-Denmark War of 1864, when Prussia and Austria were once allies, in their military

dual occupation over the Schleswig-Holstein lands, of which Denmark had once occupied, but he

would have been 13 years old, so the likelihood of him participating in that 1864 war is just a flip of a

coin. Johann the Elder would have been 53 years old, which is an able bodied man, but it's an old able

bodied man, plus the old able bodied man has a wife, and 7 kids, so let's let him continue to raise more

workers and soldiers for the nation-state war machine.

The1866 7 Weeks War was a war with basically just Prussia on one side versus Austria,

Bavaria,Baden, Wuerttemburg, Saxony, Hanover, and other minor German nations on the other side.

The actual pretext of the war was the control over Schleswig and Holstein, over which both

Austria and Prussia, jointly, as allies, had scored a military victory taking that territory from Denmark

in 1864. Prussia sent troops into Holstein, and Austria's parliament declared war.

By August 23, the 7 weeks war was over with the signing of Treaty of Prague, which gave

Schleswig and Holstein to Prussia, as well as Hanover, Mecklenburg, Grand Duchy of Oldenburg,

Hesse-Kassel, Nassau, Hamburg, Lubeck, Bremen, and Frankfurt outright, which combined the

disunited Eastern and Western portions of Prussia to a make a connected northern German nation.

Prussia's military victory guaranteed a larger geographic area, and therefore, more soldiers and workerslaves.

Hell. It could have been a family affair. They all could have been fighting in the German wars.

Johann would have been in his late 30s when the 1848 German Revolutions happened.

Before the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 commences, the Gripshövers sell their land, and hop a

boat ride on over to Kentucky.

A122: Miami and Erie Canal used to flow underneath where Central Avenue is built today, and the Miami and Erie Canal was dubbed “the Rhine” because it was located next to a Little Germany that was formed in the same place. The Rhine River is a River in Germany, so “Rhine” was associated with the new German immigrants. The first portion of the Miami and Erie Canal completed in 1827, and the canal flowed between downtown and Over-the-Rhine, which reminded German immigrants of the Rhine River. They dubbed the canal (now Central Parkway) “the Rhine,” and from this grew the name “Over-the-Rhine.” Music Hall, located on Elm Street next to Washington Park. Music Hall was originally called Saengerhalle, and was built in 1878 to give a permanent home to musical performances and expositions. Today, Music Hall is home to the Cincinnati Symphony and Pops Orchestras, Cincinnati Opera, and May Festival. Little Germany, with residents pouring in from various European German states, starting in the 1830s and 40s. People spoke German, ate German food, read German newspapers, and built German-style houses and churches, although it is important to remember that there were many different customs, habits, attitudes, dialects of the German language, religions, and classes present. The Miami and Erie Canal, completed in the Cincinnati area around 1827, ran along what is now Central Parkway, separating Over-the-Rhine from downtown. Pork-packing plants, soap and tallow factories, and various light-industries developed along the canal.Throughout the 1830s, first-generation German immigrants who had originally settled east of Main Street were lured by the low cost of land and wood-frame houses beyond the canal. The working class residents could access the original city (downtown) only by crossing bridges, and they likened this to crossing the Rhine River in Germany: thus the name Over-the-Rhine. But "Over-the-Rhine" may have had a negative connotation, too, and some sources say it originated from the more affluent German families, who made their fortunes in OTR, but who lived in the suburban hills of Mt. Auburn, Walnut Hills, and Clifton.The old St. Mary's Church, with its Greek Revival and Late Victorian architecture, was built in 1842, and is the oldest standing church in Cincinnati. The Roman Catholic church still holds mass in German and Latin, just as it did at its inception.The Miami and Erie Canal was a canal in Ohio that ran about 274 miles (441 km) from Toledo to Cincinnati[1] and created a water route from Lake Erie to the Ohio River. Construction on the canal began in 1825 and was completed in 1845 at a cost to the state government of $8,062,680.07

A123: 1) a German, 2) a German, and 3) the Germans; respectively: 1) John Augustus Roebling; grew up first 23 years of his life in Prussia (Muhlhausen Erfurt, Arnsberg); 1867 when Suspension Bridge was constructed; John Augustus Roebling was PRUSSIAN. Born in Prussia. The John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge spans the Ohio River between Cincinnati, Ohio and Covington, Kentucky. When the first pedestrians crossed on December 1, 1866, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world at 1,057 feet (322 m) main span.[3]Today, many pedestrians use the bridge to get between the arenas in Cincinnati (Paul Brown Stadium, Great American Ball Park, andU.S. Bank Arena) and the hotels, bars, restaurants, and parking lots in Northern Kentucky. The bar and restaurant district at the foot of the bridge on the Kentucky side is known as Roebling Point. John Augustus Roebling (born Johann August Röbling, June 12, 1806 – July 22, 1869) was a German-born American civil engineer. He is famous for his wire rope suspension bridge designs, in particular, the design of the Brooklyn Bridge. 2) Ferdinand Von Miller. Indian Mound stood where Fountain Square is today. Dedicated in 1871. Von Miller was born in Fürstenfeldbruck.After a sojourn at the academy in Munich and a preliminary engagement at the royal brass foundry, Miller traveled to Paris in 1833, where he learnt from Soyer and Blus the varied technique necessary for bronze working. He also visited England and the Netherlands, and after his return to Munich worked under his teacher and uncle Stiglmayr, whom the Crown Prince Ludwig had induced to devote himself to bronze foundry work and to the establishment of the Munich foundry as a state institution. Miller soon took his uncle's place, and upon the death of the latter was appointed inspector of the workshop. He soon won for it a worldwide reputation, and for himself a fortune and position of influence. 3) the Prussians; 1818 Prussia; 1806 Prussia;

A135: Black Friday.Black Friday, September 24, 1869 was caused by two speculators’ efforts, Jay Gould and James Fisk, to corner the gold market on the New York Gold Exchange.[citation needed] It was one of several scandals that rocked the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant. In the late summer of 1869, Gould began buying large amounts of gold. He never sold this gold. This caused prices to rise and stocks to plummet.[citation needed] After Grant realized what had happened, the federal government sold $4 million in gold. On September 20, 1869, Gould and Fisk started hoarding gold, driving the price higher. On September 24 the premium on a gold Double Eagle (representing 0.9675 troy ounces (30.09 g) of gold bullion at $20) was 30 percent higher than when Grant took office. But when the government gold hit the market, the premium plummeted within minutes. Investors scrambled to sell their holdings, and many of them, including Corbin, were ruined. Fisk and Gould escaped significant financial harm. 1869 24 September. Earlier in the year, Jay Gould and Jay Fisk attempted to drive up the price of gold and corner the market.  On this day, "Black Friday,"  President Grant releases $4 million and drives the price down, an action that causes a stock-market panic.
