1946: John Maynard Keynes, whose economic theories gave a tremendous boost to growing government expenditures in the 1930s and 1940s, dies at Firle, Sussex.
(Ah yes, the Keynesian theories.....the word Keynesian has been subject to quite a bit of mispronunciation. To avoid that little faux pas my undergrad economics professor had us say the name in unison several times. I got a D+ in that class. Thanks Professor Vrooman for teaching Vroomanomics instead of economics.)
In no way is the above statement meant to defame Vrooman in anyway. He's a great prof., but his teaching style didn't match my learning style. Ok now that I have disclaimed my liability.......
For all you Texas fans:
1836: Rebel Texas forces under Tennessee lawyer Samuel Houston surprise and rout the government army under General Antonio López de Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto.
