Revival History

This is undoubtedly the most horrifying execution method in human history… Being buried alive was a punishment that turned one of humanity’s deepest fears into a cruel reality. In various parts of the world throughout history, this method was used not only as an execution, but also as a way to silence or shame those who were considered criminals, traitors, or even social outcasts. The victim would be forced into a deep pit in the ground, often with their hands bound, leaving them completely helpless. Once inside, the soil would slowly be shoveled back into the pit. At first, the victim could still breathe and scream for help, but with every passing moment the weight of the earth would press harder against their body. The darkness would close in, the air would grow thinner, and panic would quickly set in. Some victims reportedly remained alive for several agonizing minutes as the dirt filled their lungs and crushed their chest, making every breath a desperate struggle. What made this pu...

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson... Descended from a "Black Loyalist" . He's Descended from a Black Loyalist of the Revolutionary Wąr. Johnson's father, Wayde Douglas Bowles (aka Rocky Johnson), is a famous Canadian wrestler, a descendant of James Bowles who fought with the British Loyalists in 1778 as a member of the Black Pioneers. The Black Pioneers were an African American military unit that did mainly construction work for the British. During the American Revolutionary Wàr, the British offered land to any black person — whether slave or free — who joined their side. Though the British lost that war, they kept their promise and about 3,000 Black Loyalists sailed to Nova Scotia from New York, including James Bowles.

NATIVE AMERICAN CHIEFS (c. 1888)  These portraits come from the "Celebrated American Indian Chiefs" card series issued in 1888, featuring prominent leaders from Nations including the Pawnee, Sac & Fox, and Apache, BlackSeminoleBlack, Lenape.  Not everyone black is African or from Africa. Some of Black tribes were already here in the U.S before slaves trade.  While these images helped preserve the likenesses of respected Indigenous leaders, many of their histories, cultures, and struggles have often received far less attention than other parts of American history. This is how natives tribes looks like before European arrival.  A portrait can capture a face. A Nation carries the legacy.

For 10,000 years, they knew. It took DNA to make the world listen. The Blackfoot people have always known their connection to the northern Plains runs deeper than memory. Their oral traditions speak of "time immemorial"—of ancestors who hunted bison across glacial valleys, who witnessed ice retreating from mountains, who survived when ancient floodwaters receded and reshaped the land. But for nearly two centuries, Western anthropologists told a different story. Based on linguistic similarities to Great Lakes tribes, scholars theorized the Blackfoot had migrated westward sometime in the last thousand years. Never mind that Blackfoot oral history contained no memory of such a journey. Never mind the archaeological evidence suggesting far older presence. Never mind the detailed knowledge of landscapes that no recent arrival could possess. The theory became textbook fact. And it threatened something crucial: land and water rights that depend on proving ancestral connection to ter...

The Battle of the Rosebud on June 17, 1876, is one of the most important engagements in the history of the Plains Wars, and it is consistently overshadowed in popular memory by the Battle of the Little Bighorn that followed eight days later. The Rosebud deserves its own accounting, because what happened there was not simply a prelude to Little Bighorn but a demonstration of the tactical sophistication and personal leadership that made the Lakota and Cheyenne alliance the most formidable military force General George Crook had ever faced. Crook led approximately 1,300 soldiers and allied Crow and Shoshone scouts south along Rosebud Creek on the morning of June 17, moving toward the main Lakota encampment. Crazy Horse led a force of Lakota and Cheyenne warriors that intercepted them in a battle that lasted six hours and covered several miles of rolling Montana grassland. The engagement was marked by the mobility and initiative of the Lakota and Cheyenne fighters, who attacked from multip...
