### West Ham United
Slater joined [West Ham](/wiki/West_Ham_United_F.C. "West Ham United F.C.") as an apprentice in 1986 and after a tough first year, he became a star of the youth team. He made his first appearance for West Ham, still an apprentice, when he came on as substitute for [Ray Stewart](/wiki/Ray_Stewart_%28Scottish_footballer%29 "Ray Stewart (Scottish footballer)") in the Division One home game against [Derby County](/wiki/Derby_County_F.C. "Derby County F.C.") in October 1987\. He was offered a professional contract in April 1988 just after his seventeenth birthday and made a second appearance in the 1987–88 season when he came on as substitute in the home game against [Coventry City](/wiki/Coventry_City_F.C. "Coventry City F.C.") in the same month.
He made his first start for West Ham against [Southampton](/wiki/Southampton_F.C. "Southampton F.C.") in August 1988, when a clash of heads with [Russell Osman](/wiki/Russell_Osman "Russell Osman") led to him being taken off in the first minute. He recovered to win the Man of the Match award in his next two games, against [Charlton](/wiki/Charlton_Athletic_F.C. "Charlton Athletic F.C.") and [Newcastle United](/wiki/Newcastle_United_F.C. "Newcastle United F.C."), and scored his first goal for the club in a F.A. Cup 5th round tie against Charlton in February 1989\. Playing in Division Two in 1989–90, he scored nine goals in 50 league and cup appearances as West Ham reached the semi\-final of the League Cup, and made three substitute appearances for the England Under 21 team in 1990\.
Manager [Billy Bonds](/wiki/Billy_Bonds "Billy Bonds") switched him to the left wing towards the end of the 1989–90 season where he excelled to the extent that after a 5–0 home defeat of [Sheffield United](/wiki/Sheffield_United_F.C. "Sheffield United F.C.") in March 1990, the Sheffield United defender, [Chris Wilder](/wiki/Chris_Wilder "Chris Wilder"), shook Slater's hand, saying, *"That's the closest I've been to you all evening."* A similar performance came against [Everton](/wiki/Everton_F.C. "Everton F.C.") in the sixth\-round of the FA Cup in March 1991, when he also scored West Ham's second goal from 20 yards, as West Ham won 2–1 to reach the semi\-finals. West Ham returned to Division One in 1991–92 but, troubled by an Achilles injury, Slater failed to score a goal in 51 appearances. He turned down the offer of a new contract and left the club in August 1992 for [Celtic](/wiki/Celtic_F.C. "Celtic F.C.").
### Celtic
Former West Ham teammate, [Liam Brady](/wiki/Liam_Brady "Liam Brady"), then manager of Celtic, took Slater to Glasgow in a £1\.5 million deal in August 1992\. Slater made his debut in the same month, coming on as a substitute in a 1–1 away draw against [Rangers](/wiki/Rangers_F.C. "Rangers F.C."), but did not make an impression at Celtic and thirteen months later he returned south to [Ipswich Town](/wiki/Ipswich_Town_F.C. "Ipswich Town F.C."), having scored three goals in 43 appearances.
### Ipswich Town
He joined Ipswich Town in a £750,000 deal in September 1993, where he linked up again with his former manager at West Ham, [John Lyall](/wiki/John_Lyall "John Lyall"), in the [Premier League](/wiki/Premier_League "Premier League"). He stayed at Ipswich for three seasons scoring four goals in 84 appearances before leaving on a free transfer.
### Later career
After a short spell on trial at [Leicester City](/wiki/Leicester_City_F.C. "Leicester City F.C."), Slater joined [Watford](/wiki/Watford_F.C. "Watford F.C."). Injuries limited him to only 35 league appearances for the Watford in almost three years and he eventually moved to Australia, joining [NSL](/wiki/National_Soccer_League "National Soccer League") club, [Carlton S.C.](/wiki/Carlton_S.C. "Carlton S.C."), in August 1999\.
Slater returned to England a year later to join [Football Conference](/wiki/Football_Conference "Football Conference") club [Forest Green Rovers](/wiki/Forest_Green_Rovers "Forest Green Rovers") in October 2000, for whom he made 24 league and cup appearances in the 2000–01 season and played in the [FA Trophy](/wiki/FA_Trophy "FA Trophy") final at [Villa Park](/wiki/Villa_Park "Villa Park") in May 2001, when Rovers were beaten 1–0 by [Canvey Island](/wiki/Canvey_Island_F.C.

He was unable to agree a new contract with Rovers and followed manager Frank Gregan to [League of Wales](/wiki/League_of_Wales "League of Wales") side [Aberystwyth Town](/wiki/Aberystwyth_Town_F.C. "Aberystwyth Town F.C.") in July 2001\.{{cite news \|title \=Aber sign experienced midfielder \|publisher \= BBC Sport \|date \= 17 July 2001 \|url \=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/wales/1443585\.stm \|accessdate \= 25 August 2007 }} Poor results in the first months of the 2001–02 season saw Frank Gregan depart and Slater follow him to [Southern League](/wiki/Southern_Football_League "Southern Football League") club, [Weston\-super\-Mare](/wiki/Weston-super-Mare_A.F.C.

He played his final game for Weston\-super\-Mare in a 1–1 draw, in which he scored, at [Bishop Stortford](/wiki/Bishop%27s_Stortford_F.C.

History
-------
Karancsalja is a settlement of the [Árpádian age](/wiki/%C3%81rp%C3%A1d_dynasty "Árpád dynasty") in the valley of the Dobroda stream.
It was named after the 729\-metre\-high (2392 ft) [Karancs](/wiki/Karancs "Karancs") peak, which is situated a few kilometres northeast of the village, on the border of Slovakia and Hungary, is also called "[Palóc](/wiki/Pal%C3%B3c "Palóc") Olympus".
[left\|thumb\|258x258px\|Margaret Chapel](/wiki/File:Szent_Margit-k%C3%A1polna_%28Karancsalja%29.jpg "Szent Margit-kápolna (Karancsalja).jpg")
The village already existed in the [Árpádian period](/wiki/%C3%81rp%C3%A1d_dynasty "Árpád dynasty"). According to legend, in 1241 King [Béla IV](/wiki/B%C3%A9la_IV_of_Hungary "Béla IV of Hungary") found refuge there one night when he had to flee after bloody [battle of Mohi](/wiki/Battle_of_Mohi "Battle of Mohi") against the [Tatars](/wiki/Tat%C3%A1rj%C3%A1r%C3%A1s_%28disambiguation%29 "Tatárjárás (disambiguation)"). Tradition holds that the King's daughter, [St. Margaret](/wiki/Margaret_of_Hungary_%28saint%29 "Margaret of Hungary (saint)"), built the Margaret Chapel on the summit of Karancs to commemorate this famous event.
The history of the village during the [Turkish occupation](/wiki/Ottoman_Hungary "Ottoman Hungary") and in the late [medieval period](/wiki/History_of_Hungary%23Medieval_Hungary "History of Hungary#Medieval Hungary") is rather unexamined.
In 1548 it was owned by Ferenc Bebek.
In 1715, the census recorded 8, and in 1720, 14 Hungarian households.
In 1770 László Jankovich, at the beginning of the 19th century Antal Jankovics, and in the early 1900s Géza Balla were the most important landowners of the village.
The [mansion](/wiki/Mansion "Mansion") in the village was built by Miklós Jankovich at the beginning of the 19th century, but was rebuilt by its new owner in 1909 and demolished in the [1950s](/wiki/History_of_Hungary%23Stalinist_era_%281949%E2%80%931956%29 "History of Hungary#Stalinist era (1949–1956)").
In 1873 a large [cholera](/wiki/Cholera_outbreaks_and_pandemics "Cholera outbreaks and pandemics") epidemic devastated the settlement.
The [coal mines](/wiki/Coal_mining "Coal mining") on the outskirts of Karancsalja were of great importance to the life of the population, providing a livelihood for many people in the 19th and 20th centuries. At the end of 1944, the Karancslejtős mine at Etes, a few kilometres from the village, was the scene of a tragic event when seven of the miners who refused to work, to get better conditions, were shot dead. {{Cite web\|url\=https://www.karancsalja.hu/telepulesunk/ismerteto\|title\=Official website of the village Karancsalja\|website\=www.karancsalja.hu\|access\-date\=22 April 2020}}

In 1907, five 6th Class locomotives of the [Cape Government Railways](/wiki/Cape_Government_Railways "Cape Government Railways") were sold to the {{RailGauge\|3ft6in\|allk\=on}} [Benguela Railway](/wiki/Benguela_railway "Benguela railway") (CFB). These included one of the [Dübs](/wiki/D%C3%BCbs_and_Company "Dübs and Company")\-built [locomotives of 1897](/wiki/South_African_Class_6A_4-6-0 "South African Class 6A 4-6-0") and two each of the [Neilson and Company](/wiki/Neilson_and_Company "Neilson and Company") and [Neilson, Reid and Company](/wiki/Neilson_and_Company%23Turn_of_the_20th_century "Neilson and Company#Turn of the 20th century")\-built [locomotives of 1897 and 1898](/wiki/South_African_Class_6B_4-6-0 "South African Class 6B 4-6-0"). (Also see [South Africa \- Cape gauge](/wiki/4-6-0%23South_Africa "4-6-0#South Africa"))
In the mid\-1930s, in order to ease maintenance, modifications were made to the running boards and brake gear of the CFB locomotives. The former involved mounting the running boards higher, thereby getting rid of the driving wheel fairings. This gave the locomotives a much more American rather than British appearance.[Class 6B \- Information supplied by Peter Bagshawe](/wiki/South_African_Class_6B_4-6-0%23Content_of_email_received_from_Peter_Bagshawe_on_9_Jul_2011 "South African Class 6B 4-6-0#Content of email received from Peter Bagshawe on 9 Jul 2011")British Overseas Railways Historical Trust, Journal No. 8 \& 9

In April 1951, three [Class NG9](/wiki/South_African_Class_NG9_4-6-0 "South African Class NG9 4-6-0") locomotives were purchased from the South African Railways for the [*Caminhos de Ferro de Moçâmedes*](/wiki/Mo%C3%A7%C3%A2medes_Railway "Moçâmedes Railway") (CFM). They were placed in service on the *Ramal da Chibía*, a {{RailGauge\|600mm\|lk\=on}} gauge branch line across {{convert\|116\|km\|mi\|0\|abbr\=off}} from [Sá da Bandeira](/wiki/Lubango "Lubango") to [Chiange](/wiki/Chiange "Chiange"). The locomotives were observed dumped at the Sá da Bandeira shops by 1969 and the branch line itself was closed in 1970\.[Class NG9 \- Information supplied by Peter Bagshawe](/wiki/South_African_Class_NG9_4-6-0%23Content_of_email_received_from_Peter_Bagshawe_on_26_August_2011 "South African Class NG9 4-6-0#Content of email received from Peter Bagshawe on 26 August 2011") (Also see [South Africa \- Narrow gauge](/wiki/4-6-0%23South_Africa "4-6-0#South Africa"))

The line through [Bechuanaland Protectorate](/wiki/Bechuanaland_Protectorate "Bechuanaland Protectorate") was still under construction and was operated by the CGR on behalf of the BR at the time. The locomotives were eventually returned to the CGR.{{Pattison\-Seventh\|page\=7–8}}

Around 1912, the [Algoma Eastern Railway](/wiki/Algoma_Eastern_Railway "Algoma Eastern Railway") in [Ontario](/wiki/Ontario "Ontario"), Canada, acquired [Baldwin Locomotive Works](/wiki/Baldwin_Locomotive_Works "Baldwin Locomotive Works") \#20272, a 4\-6\-0, which had been built in 1902\.

Besides several of the country's smaller railroads, Canada's two largest railroads, the [Canadian National Railway](/wiki/Canadian_National_Railway "Canadian National Railway") and [Canadian Pacific Railway](/wiki/Canadian_Pacific_Railway "Canadian Pacific Railway") also rostered examples of 4\-6\-0s, some of which have been preserved. Among the more modern examples for both railroads were the Canadian National H\-6 and the Canadian Pacific D10\.
### Denmark
[thumb\|DSB R (I) 935, Borsig 1912](/wiki/File:DSB_R935_1912.jpg "DSB R935 1912.jpg")
In 1912, DSB or Danish state railways (Danske statsbaner) would receive the first 2 of 30 R class steam locomotives. 2 versions of the class would be built.
* R (I): 20 of this type would be built. They had a 2\-cylinder layout.
* R (II): 10 of this type would be built. They had a 3\-cylinder layout.
After WWII, DSB would end up with 3 [Prussian P8 class](/wiki/Prussian_P_8 "Prussian P 8") 4\-6\-0 steam locomotives. They would eventually take ownership of them, classifying them as the T class.
### Finland
The [Finnish State Railways](/wiki/VR_Group "VR Group") (*Suomen Valtion Rautatiet* or SVR, later the *Valtionrautatiet* or VR) operated the Classes Hk1, Hk2, Hk3, Hk5, [Hv1](/wiki/VR_Class_Hv1 "VR Class Hv1"), Hv2, Hv3, Hv4, Hr2 and Hr3 locomotives with a {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} wheel arrangement.
The Class Hk1, numbers 232 to 241, was built by [Baldwin Locomotive Works](/wiki/Baldwin_Locomotive_Works "Baldwin Locomotive Works") in 1898\. The ten Baldwin locomotives were originally designated H1 class.
Numbers 291 to 300 and 322 to 333 were built by the [Richmond Locomotive Works](/wiki/Richmond_Locomotive_Works "Richmond Locomotive Works") in 1900 and 1901\. The 22 Richmond locomotives were originally designated H2 class and were nicknamed *Big\-Wheel Kaanari*. One of them, No. 293, the locomotive that brought [Lenin](/wiki/Lenin "Lenin") from exile in August–September 1917 prior to the Russian Revolution, was presented by [Finland](/wiki/Finland "Finland") to the [Soviet Union](/wiki/Soviet_Union "Soviet Union") on 13 June 1957 and is preserved at the [Finland Station](/wiki/Finland_Station "Finland Station") in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Another 100 of these locomotives were manufactured in Finland from 1903 to 1916, numbered in the range from 437 to 574 and initially designated H3 to H8 classes.
The Class Hk5 was numbered from 439 to 515\. One, No. 497, is preserved at [Haapamäki](/wiki/Haapam%C3%A4ki "Haapamäki").
[thumb\|left\|Finnish [Class Hv1](/wiki/VR_Class_Hv1 "VR Class Hv1") {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}}, built by [Tampella](/wiki/Tampella "Tampella") in 1915](/wiki/File:Finnish460.jpg "Finnish460.jpg")
The [Class Hv1](/wiki/VR_Class_Hv1 "VR Class Hv1") was built from 1915 by [Tampella](/wiki/Tampella "Tampella") and [Lokomo](/wiki/Lokomo "Lokomo"). They were nicknamed *Heikki* and were numbered 545 to 578 and 648 to 655\. The class remained in service until 1967\. One, No. 555 named *Princess*, is preserved at the [Finnish Railway Museum](/wiki/Finnish_Railway_Museum "Finnish Railway Museum").
[thumb\|right\|Class Hv2 No. 583 at Helsinki Central station in 1960](/wiki/File:Hv2_Helsinki_1960.jpg "Hv2 Helsinki 1960.jpg")
The Class Hv2 was built by [Berliner Maschinenbau](/wiki/Berliner_Maschinenbau "Berliner Maschinenbau") and Lokomo in the years between 1919 and 1926\. They were numbered 579 to 593, 671 to 684 and 777 to 780\. One, No. 680, is preserved at Haapamäki.
The Class Hv3 was built by Berliner, Tampella and Lokomo in the years from 1921 to 1941\. They were numbered 638 to 647, 781 to 785 and 991 to 999\. Three Class Hv3 locomotives were preserved, No. 781 at [Kerava](/wiki/Kerava "Kerava"), No. 995 at [Suolahti](/wiki/Suolahti "Suolahti") and No. 998 at Haapamäki.
The Class Hv4 was built by Tampella and Lokomo in the years from 1912 to 1933 and were numbered 516 to 529, 742 to 751 and 757 to 760\. Two, numbers 742 and 751, are preserved at Haapamäki.
The [Swedish State Railways](/wiki/Swedish_State_Railways "Swedish State Railways") (*Statens Järnvägar* or SJ) sold its Class Ta and Tb locomotives to Finland in 1942\. At the time, they were not in traffic in Sweden and, since they were purchased by Finland, they were not considered as war assistance. The Class Ta was designated Class Hr2 in Finland while the Class Tb was designated Class Hr3\.
* The Class Hr2 was numbered from 1900 to 1906 and had been built by [Swedish](/wiki/Sweden "Sweden") builders [NOHAB](/wiki/NOHAB "NOHAB") (*Nydqvist \& Holm AB*) and [Motala Verkstad](/wiki/Motala_Verkstad "Motala Verkstad") in the years from 1901 to 1905\. They were withdrawn from service in Finland between 1950 and 1953\.
* The Class Hr3 was numbered from 1907 to 1919 and had been built in Sweden by NOHAB, Motala, the *Vagn \& Maskinfabriks AB* in [Falun](/wiki/Falun "Falun") and *Nya AB Atlas* in [Stockholm](/wiki/Stockholm "Stockholm") in the years from 1906 to 1908\. The Class Hr3 was withdrawn from service in Finland between 1952 and 1953\.

Two 4\-6\-0 tank locomotive types saw service in France.
The [Réseau Breton tank locomotives](/wiki/R%C3%A9seau_Breton_4-6-0_tank_locomotives "Réseau Breton 4-6-0 tank locomotives") were a class of {{RailGauge\|1000mm\|al\=on\|allk\=on}} locomotives of which five were built in 1904 for the [Réseau Breton](/wiki/R%C3%A9seau_Breton "Réseau Breton") railway by [Société Franco\-Belge](/wiki/Soci%C3%A9t%C3%A9_Franco-Belge "Société Franco-Belge") at its [Raismes](/wiki/Raismes "Raismes") factory.{{cite journal \|year\=2010 \|title\=Réseau Breton 230T \|journal\=Continental Modeller \|publisher\=Peco Publications \|issue\=September 2010 \|pages\=560–564 }} A further seven locomotives were built by [Société Alsacienne de Constructions Mécaniques](/wiki/Soci%C3%A9t%C3%A9_Alsacienne_de_Constructions_M%C3%A9caniques "Société Alsacienne de Constructions Mécaniques") (SACM) at its [Belfort](/wiki/Belfort "Belfort") plant in France in 1909\.
The [Baldwin Class 10\-12\-D](/wiki/Baldwin_Class_10-12-D "Baldwin Class 10-12-D") {{RailGauge\|600mm}} gauge [pannier tank](/wiki/Pannier_tank "Pannier tank") locomotives were built in the United States by [Baldwin Locomotive Works](/wiki/Baldwin_Locomotive_Works "Baldwin Locomotive Works") for the British [War Department Light Railways](/wiki/War_Department_Light_Railways "War Department Light Railways"), for service in France in 1916 and 1917 during the [First World War](/wiki/First_World_War "First World War"). A further batch was built by the [American Locomotive Company](/wiki/American_Locomotive_Company "American Locomotive Company"). After the war, many of these locomotives were sold to work in France, Britain and India.
### Germany
[thumb\|right\|A [Württembergian](/wiki/W%C3%BCrttemberg "Württemberg") D class {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} of 1898](/wiki/File:W%C3%BCrttembergische_D_1898.png "Württembergische D 1898.png")
The {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} wheel arrangement was very popular on the railroads of German states from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, when they gradually replaced [{{nowrap\|4\-4\-0}} American](/wiki/4-4-0 "4-4-0") type locomotives, initially especially on hilly terrain. In 1925, after the creation of the [Deutsche Reichsbahn](/wiki/Deutsche_Reichsbahn "Deutsche Reichsbahn") (DRG), express {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} passenger locomotives were classified under group 17, while regular {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} passenger locomotives were classified under group 38\.
#### Baden
In 1894, [Baden](/wiki/Baden "Baden") adopted its [IVe class](/wiki/Baden_IV_e "Baden IV e") passenger locomotives of [Alfred de Glehn](/wiki/Alfred_de_Glehn "Alfred de Glehn") design, the first four\-cylinder compound {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} locomotive ever. Altogether 83 were built and later became the DRG class 3870.
#### Bavaria
[Bavaria](/wiki/Bavaria "Bavaria") acquired three {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} express passenger locomotive classes. All were [Maffei](/wiki/Maffei_%28company%29 "Maffei (company)")\-built four\-cylinder compound locomotives.
* The [C V](/wiki/Bavarian_C_V "Bavarian C V") class, of which 43 were built from 1899, later the DRG class 173.
* The [S 3/5N](/wiki/Bavarian_S_3/5 "Bavarian S 3/5") class, of which 39 were built from 1903, later the DRG class 174.
* The superheated steam [S 3/5H](/wiki/Bavarian_S_3/5 "Bavarian S 3/5") class, of which thirty were built from 1906, later the DGR class 175.
Bavaria only began using {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} passenger locomotives in 1905\.
* The first was the [P 3/5 N](/wiki/Bavarian_P_3/5_N "Bavarian P 3/5 N") class, of which 36 were built, later the DRG class 380.
* After a long break, Bavaria ordered a superheated steam [P 3/5 H](/wiki/Bavarian_P_3/5_H "Bavarian P 3/5 H") class in 1921\. Eighty of these were built and later became the DRG class 384.Horst Obermayer, Manfred Weisbrod, *Dampflok\-Report: Lokomotiv\-Archiv. Band No. 2\. Baureihen 22\-39*, Merker Verlag 1995, {{ISBN\|3\-922404\-72\-3}}, pp. 44\-49 {{in lang\|de}}
#### Prussia
In 1899, [Prussia](/wiki/Prussia "Prussia") ordered a short series of eighteen De Glehn passenger locomotives that were designated S 7 class.Herbert Rauter: *Preußen\-Report. Band 4: Naßdampf\-Personenzuglokomotiven P 0* – pp. 4, 7\. Hermann Merker Verlag, 1991, {{ISBN\|3\-922404\-21\-9}}, pp.76\-78 {{in lang\|de}}
The most numerous {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} series in the world was the [Prussian P 8](/wiki/Prussian_P_8 "Prussian P 8") passenger locomotive, later the DRG class 3810\-40, of which 3,556 were built for the [Prussian state railways](/wiki/Prussian_state_railways "Prussian state railways") and German railways between 1906 and 1923\. Of these, 627 locomotives were given to other countries after the First World War. When exports and licensed production in Romania are included, their number reached almost four thousand.Günther Scheingraber, Manfred Weisbrod (1993\). *Preußen\-Report. Band 7: Heißdampf\-Personenzuglokomotiven P 6, P 8, P 10 und preußische Tender*. Hermann Merker Verlag, {{ISBN\|3\-922404\-53\-7}}, pp. 32, 36 (Also see [Poland](/wiki/4-6-0%23Poland "4-6-0#Poland"))
Prussia only started to operate {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} express locomotives of its [S 10](/wiki/Prussian_S_10 "Prussian S 10") family from 1910\. While they were externally similar, they differed in engine arrangement.Horst Obermayer, Manfred Weisbrod: *Dampflok\-Report: Lokomotiv\-Archiv. Band No. 1\. Baureihen 01\-19*, Merker Verlag 1993, {{ISBN\|3\-922404\-40\-5}}, pp.58\-67 {{in lang\|de}}
* The S 10 quadruple (4\-cylindre, single expansion) of which 202 were built from 1910, later the DRG class 170\-1.
* The S 101 4\-cylindre compound, of which 237 were built in two batches from 1911 and 1914 (with pre\-heater), later the DRG class 1710\-12.
* The S 102 3\-cylindre, of which 124 were built from 1914, later the DRG class 172.
#### Saxony
From 1906, [Saxony](/wiki/Saxony "Saxony") used {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} express service locomotive classes XII H, XII HV and XII H1, of which 6, 42 and 7 were built respectively. They later became the DRG classes 176, 177 and 178 respectively. All were superheated steam locomotives, differing mostly in engine arrangements.
More numerous were the [Saxon XII H2](/wiki/Saxon_XII_H2 "Saxon XII H2") class passenger locomotives, of which 169 were built from 1910\. They later became the DRG class 382\-3.
#### Württemberg
From 1898, the [Royal Württemberg State Railways](/wiki/Royal_W%C3%BCrttemberg_State_Railways "Royal Württemberg State Railways") used [D class](/wiki/W%C3%BCrttemberg_D "Württemberg D") passenger locomotives. It was also a four\-cylinder compound locomotive, of which fourteen were built.Jan Piwowoński: *Parowozy kolei polskich*, Warsaw: WKiŁ, 1978, p.228 {{in lang\|pl}}
### Indonesia
[thumb\|NIS 371 or DKA C51 01 in open air taken in 2008 at Indonesia Railway Museum, [Ambarawa](/wiki/Ambarawa "Ambarawa"),[Central Java](/wiki/Central_Java "Central Java")](/wiki/File:DKA_C51_%28C_51_01_B%29.jpg "DKA C51 (C 51 01 B).jpg") *[Nederlandsch\-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij](/wiki/Nederlandsch-Indische_Spoorweg_Maatschappij "Nederlandsch-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij")* (NIS) received 10 units of the first [superheated](/wiki/Superheater "Superheater") 4\-6\-0 long\-range runner for [3 ft 6 in](/wiki/3_ft_6_in_gauge_railways "3 ft 6 in gauge railways") (1,067 mm) from [Beyer, Peacock and Company, Manchester](/wiki/Beyer%2C_Peacock_and_Company "Beyer, Peacock and Company"). These locos were come in 1913, and classified as NIS Class 370 (371\-380\). After arriving in [Java](/wiki/Java "Java"), these locomotives worked as an effort to pursue the target of taking the Gundih–Surabaya with a travel time of approximately 7 hours. 4 units worked on Batavia ([Jakarta](/wiki/Jakarta "Jakarta"))–Buitenzorg ([Bogor](/wiki/Bogor "Bogor")) for express trains. While the rest of the 6 were used on Soerabaia NIS ([Surabaya Pasar Turi](/wiki/Surabaya_Pasar_Turi_railway_station "Surabaya Pasar Turi railway station"))–Gundih line and allocated in Cepu depot, [Central Java](/wiki/Central_Java "Central Java"). The NIS 370 class locomotives also underwent technical and design improvements so that it was able to reach a maximum speed of 75 kilometres per hour (47 miles per hour) which was much faster than the original speed of only around 60 kilometres per hour (37 miles per hour).{{Cite book \|last\=Oegema \|first\=J.

Apart from being used to pull express trains, the NIS 370s were also used to haul freight trains. This freight train contains petroleum from *Koloniale Petroleum Verkoop Mij.* (KPVM). KPVM was a part of the NKPM company (*Nederlandsche Koloniale Petroleum Maatschappij*).{{Cite book \|author\=Yoga Bagus Prayogo \|author2\=Yohanes Sapto Prabowo \|author3\=Diaz Radityo \|title\=Kereta Api di Indonesia.

At first batch, they received 5 units from [Werkspoor, N.V.](/wiki/Werkspoor "Werkspoor") ([Netherlands](/wiki/Netherlands "Netherlands")) in 1918\-1919\. Then, the second batch consisting 5 units from [Henschel \& Son](/wiki/Henschel_%26_Son "Henschel & Son") ([Germany](/wiki/Germany "Germany")) in 1921\. At last, 10 units from Werkspoor and [Beyer, Peacock and Company](/wiki/Beyer%2C_Peacock_and_Company "Beyer, Peacock and Company") finally came in 1922 to serve the increase of passenger traffics.{{Cite web \|title\=Indonesian state railways \|url\=https://searail.malayanrailways.com/PJKA/PJKA.htm \|url\-status\=live \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20220929000745/https://searail.malayanrailways.com/PJKA/PJKA.htm \|archive\-date\=29 Sep 2022 \|website\=Asian Railways}} Soon, the new upgraded 4\-6\-0 [superheater](/wiki/Superheater "Superheater") locomotives were classified as NIS Class 381 (381\-400\) and worked on [Semarang Tawang–Cepu](/wiki/Semarang_Tawang_railway_station "Semarang Tawang railway station")–[Soerabaia NIS](/wiki/Surabaya_Pasar_Turi_railway_station "Surabaya Pasar Turi railway station") and Semarang Tawang–*Vorstenlanden* ([Surakarta](/wiki/Solo_Balapan_railway_station "Solo Balapan railway station") and [Jogja Lempuyangan](/wiki/Lempuyangan_railway_station "Lempuyangan railway station")) lines. In 1935, NIS received the concession to upgrade their mainline from Soerabaia to Semarang which was tram line becoming 2nd class railway line. NIS 381–400 once reached a speed of up to 105 kilometres per hour (65 miles per hour) during some series of tests, making it the fastest locomotive fleet owned by NIS at that time. During [Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies](/wiki/Japanese_occupation_of_the_Dutch_East_Indies "Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies") in 1942, all of Dutch East Indies private / state\-owned railway locomotives were renumbered based on [Japanese numberings](/wiki/Japan_Railways_locomotive_numbering_and_classification "Japan Railways locomotive numbering and classification"). The NIS 370s were renumbered to C51, while the NIS 380s became C52\. It could be said that C52s were the missing class of locomotives because almost all of them were sent by Japanese and Dutch to various countries in the [Indochina](/wiki/Mainland_Southeast_Asia "Mainland Southeast Asia") and [Malay Peninsula](/wiki/Malay_Peninsula "Malay Peninsula") regions during war period and were never operated again after [Indonesian independence](/wiki/Proclamation_of_Indonesian_Independence "Proclamation of Indonesian Independence") and they also lack of documentations. Many were sent to Malaya, Cambodia, Thailand and had been scrapped in 1949\-1950s because they had been re\-gauged to 1,000 mm. From 20 of them, only C52 17 (ex\-NIS 397\) is preserved in Army Engineering Museum, [Ratchaburi](/wiki/Ratchaburi "Ratchaburi"), [Thailand](/wiki/Thailand "Thailand").{{Cite web \|date\=2013 \|title\=Preserved / Extant Steam Locos and Steam Cranes in Thailand \|url\=https://www.internationalsteam.co.uk/trains/thaipreserved.htm \|website\=The International Steam Pages}} While the C51s were so lucky because they remained in service in Java during the war. From 10 of them, only C51 01 is preserved in [Ambarawa Railway Museum](/wiki/Ambarawa_Railway_Museum "Ambarawa Railway Museum"), [Central Java](/wiki/Central_Java "Central Java").

On the other hand, *Samarang–Cheribon Stoomtram Mij.* (SCS) or Samarang–Cheribon Steam Tramway imported 19 units of superheated 4\-6\-0s, consisting 13 from [Hartmann, Chemnitz](/wiki/S%C3%A4chsische_Maschinenfabrik "Sächsische Maschinenfabrik") and 6 from [Beyer, Peacock and Company, Manchester](/wiki/Beyer%2C_Peacock_and_Company "Beyer, Peacock and Company") in 1922, classified as SCS Class 200 (201–219\) and worked both for freight and express trains on north coastline of [Semarang](/wiki/Semarang_Poncol_railway_station "Semarang Poncol railway station")–[Cheribon](/wiki/Cirebon_Prujakan_railway_station "Cirebon Prujakan railway station") which was connected to *[Staatsspoorwegen's](/wiki/Staatsspoorwegen "Staatsspoorwegen")* (SS) line to [Batavia](/wiki/Jakarta_Kota_railway_station "Jakarta Kota railway station").{{Cite book \|last\=Asosiasi Perkeretaapian Indonesia \|first\=Tim Telaga Bakti Nusantara \|title\=Sejarah Perkeretaapian Indonesia \|publisher\=Angkasa \|year\=1997 \|isbn\=979\-665\-168\-8 \|location\=Bandung \|language\=Indonesian}} This line was completed on November 1, 1914 to support the transportation of passengers and freights, especially on the north coast of Java. Some cities like [Semarang](/wiki/Semarang "Semarang"), [Pekalongan](/wiki/Pekalongan "Pekalongan"), [Tegal](/wiki/Tegal "Tegal") and [Cheribon](/wiki/Cirebon "Cirebon"), there were 54 [sugar mills](/wiki/Sugarcane_mill "Sugarcane mill") operating at that time.{{Cite book \|last\=Besari \|first\=M.

By 1912\-1921, just before receiving 4\-6\-0 engines, SCS had improved the quality of their line, especially on the Cirebon–Semarang which is 226 kilometres (140 miles) away with the aim to increase the speed limits of their trains. Speed limit for trains on the Cirebon–Semarang route had been changed from 59 kilometres per hour (37 miles per hour) to 75 kilometres per hour (47 miles per hour). With the improvement in the quality of this rail line, the SCS 200s with express trains could serve passengers traveling from Batavia to Semarang in just 7 hours. Passengers first have a transit at [Cheribon](/wiki/Cirebon_railway_station "Cirebon railway station") which owned by SS, then they continue using SCS trains to Semarang. During [Japanese occupation](/wiki/Japanese_occupation_of_the_Dutch_East_Indies "Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies"), all SCS Class 200 were renumbered to C54 class and around 4 units of them were moved to [Sumatra](/wiki/Sumatra "Sumatra") to serve the Muaro ([West Sumatra](/wiki/West_Sumatra "West Sumatra"))–[Pekanbaru](/wiki/Pekanbaru "Pekanbaru") (Riau) train transport line. This locomotive was tested to haul the transport coal train from coal mines in West Sumatra. Of the 19 units of C54, there are currently 2 remaining, a C54 with unknown individual number and C5417, C5417 (from Beyer Peacock) is preserved at the [Ambarawa Railway Museum](/wiki/Ambarawa_Railway_Museum "Ambarawa Railway Museum"), [Central Java](/wiki/Central_Java "Central Java"). Meanwhile, the unidentified C54 locomotive is abandoned in the forest in Tutup Kain Selatan, [Kampar Regency](/wiki/Kampar_Regency "Kampar Regency"), [Riau](/wiki/Riau "Riau") with its incomplete physical condition.
### Ireland
The only Irish railways to use the 4\-6\-0 type were the Great Southern \& Western Railway (GS\&WR) and its larger successor, Great Southern Railways (GSR). The GS\&WR had 4\-6\-0s for both fast freight and express passenger service. The culmination of Irish 4\-6\-0 design was the [GSR Class 800](/wiki/GSR_Class_800 "GSR Class 800") or B1a class, introduced in 1939\. Three of these locomotives were built for top express passenger work on the Dublin\-Cork mainline, coincidentally resembling the United Kingdom's [*Royal Scot* Class](/wiki/LMS_Royal_Scot_Class "LMS Royal Scot Class") as rebuilt. They were the last new steam locomotives to be built for the GSR.
### New Zealand
The [New Zealand Railways Department](/wiki/New_Zealand_Railways_Department "New Zealand Railways Department") built its first home\-built tender locomotives in 1894, using the 4\-6\-0 wheel arrangement. Designated as the "U" class their production run lasted for a decade and produced only nine locomotives. Lack of colonial capacity resulted in an order for units built in the United Kingdom \- but production delays led to a batch of ten Baldwin\-built locomotives being ordered \- which were promptly delivered. When the half\-dozen Sharp Stewart examples entered service the designation in the annual locomotive returns became the "Colonial U", "American U", and "English U" even though the Sharp Stewarts were built in Scotland.
Another Baldwin batch and Sharp Stewart batch arrived into service in 1901, along with a sample from Richmond and another sample from Brooks \- although the ALCO merger occurred before delivery. With the proliferation of batches the classification became "U" for the colonial\-built examples, "Ua" for the early Sharp Stewarts, "Ub" for all American\-built locomotives, and "Uc" for the second batch of Sharp Stewarts.
The Baldwins were considered free steamers and were for a time the best locomotives in the colony. The Brooks was highly regarded. The Richmond was not successful. The Sharp Stewarts and colonial locomotives were more finely built than the Baldwins \- but poorer steamers. The colonial locomotives were never successful in mainline work \- they subsequently became a useful branchline locomotive.
By 1901 the introduction of "Pacific" types began to push the Ten\-Wheelers into second\-tier service. The combination of standardisation and the Great Depression saw the Ua, early Ub, and the sample locomotives scrapped. The later Ub and Uc classes lasted until 1957 \- but were scrapped whenever uneconomic repairs were needed, and also because dieselisation had begun to displace more modern steam locomotives into what had been their territory. Even in their last years, the Sharp Stewarts did primarily passenger duty because they didn't have the hauling ability for freight work when compared to the Baldwins.
The privately owned Wellington and Manawatu Railway purchased two Ten\-Wheelers from Baldwin in 1904\. In 1908 they were acquired by the Government and became the Ud Class. They were also a victim of standardisation and were scrapped when repairs were required \- the last being written off in 1931\. In all, NZGR had forty\-nine of 4\-6\-0 locomotives, from five manufacturers, built over eleven years to nine different standards.{{NZR Steam Locomotive}}

### Poland
[thumb\|Polish [class Ok22](/wiki/PKP_class_Ok22 "PKP class Ok22")](/wiki/File:Ok_22.jpg "Ok 22.jpg")
The [Polish State Railways](/wiki/Polish_State_Railways "Polish State Railways") (PKP) used several classes of Prussian and other German {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} locomotives. The most significant of these was the [Prussian P 8](/wiki/Prussian_P_8 "Prussian P 8"), classified in Poland as the [PKP class Ok1](/wiki/PKP_class_Ok1 "PKP class Ok1"). After the First World War, Poland received as reparations and also bought altogether 257 of these locomotives. After the [Second World War](/wiki/Second_World_War "Second World War"), their number rose to 429 locomotives, which made it the most numerous passenger locomotive in Poland. A few were preserved and kept in working condition, including Class Ok1 No. 359\.Paweł Terczyński (2003\): *Atlas parowozów* (Steam locomotives' atlas), Poznań, {{ISBN\|83\-901902\-8\-1}}, p. 56\-57 {{in lang\|pl}} (Also see [Germany \- Prussia](/wiki/4-6-0%23Prussia "4-6-0#Prussia"))
A significant number of the [Prussian S 10](/wiki/Prussian_S_10 "Prussian S 10") family of express passenger locomotives were also used in Poland. There were 52 in total, classified as Pk1, Pk2 and Pk3\.Jan Piwowoński: *Parowozy kolei polskich*, Warsaw: WKiŁ, 1978, p.148 {{in lang\|pl}}
During the inter\-war period, a [PKP class Ok22](/wiki/PKP_class_Ok22 "PKP class Ok22") locomotive was designed in cooperation with German builders [Hanomag](/wiki/Hanomag "Hanomag"). It was basically an improved class Ok1 with a more efficient boiler. Altogether 190 of them were produced for the PKP, of which all but five were manufactured in Poland.
### Romania
After WWI, [Romania](/wiki/Romania "Romania") received as war reparations 18 [Prussian P 8](/wiki/Prussian_P_8 "Prussian P 8") locomotives (classified as the *CFR 230\.000 Class*), and then imported other 127 units for [Căile Ferate Române](/wiki/C%C4%83ile_Ferate_Rom%C3%A2ne "Căile Ferate Române") (CFR), in 1921–1930\. Further 226 locomotives were licence\-manufactured in Romania by [Reșița works](/wiki/Re%C8%99i%C8%9Ba_works "Reșița works") (between 1932 and 1936\), and [Malaxa](/wiki/FAUR "FAUR") (1932\-1939\).[Tren Magazin 11/1993](http://www.trennet.ro/products/gallery/file74.pdf) {{Webarchive\|url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306044642/http://www.trennet.ro/products/gallery/file74\.pdf \|date\=2019\-03\-06 }} {{in lang\|ro}}[Locomotive cu aburi](http://www.gari.ro/cfr/istorie/locomotive-cu-aburi) {{in lang\|ro}}[C.F.R. 230\.000 Class Locomotive](http://www.railwayfan.ro/aburi/html/230_000.html) {{Webarchive\|url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20160328145901/http://www.railwayfan.ro/aburi/html/230\_000\.html \|date\=2016\-03\-28 }} {{in lang\|ro}}
### Russia
{{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} passenger locomotives became quite popular in Russia at the turn of the 20th century. While the locomotives originally had separate class designations on each Russian railroad, common Russian class designations were introduced in 1912\. The Russian {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0s}} were the A, {{nowrap\|A{{su\|p\=D\|b\=K}},}} {{nowrap\|A{{su\|p\=D}},}} {{nowrap\|A{{su\|p\=V}},}} V, Zh, Z, G, U, K, B and {{nowrap\|K{{su\|p\=U}}}} classes.
* The first and most numerous class was the Vladicaucasian Railway's A class, in the {{nowrap\|A{{su\|p\=D\|b\=K}},}} {{nowrap\|A{{su\|p\=D}}}} and, the most numerous, {{nowrap\|A{{su\|p\=V}}}} series. It was a [Kolomna factory](/wiki/Kolomna_Locomotive_Works "Kolomna Locomotive Works") design, of which 533 were built for several railroads in several Russian and German factories from 1892 until 1907\. All were two\-cylinder compound locomotives with {{convert\|1830\|mm\|in\|adj\=on}} diameter coupled wheels.Rakov, V.A. (1995\), *Lokomotivy otechestvennyh zheleznyh dorog 1845\-1955* (Locomotives of domestic railways 1845\-1955\), Moscow, {{ISBN\|5\-277\-00821\-7}}, p.217\-238 (in Russian)
* In 1896, 88 [Baldwin](/wiki/Baldwin_Locomotive_Works "Baldwin Locomotive Works")\-built four\-cylinder [Vauclain compound](/wiki/Vauclain_compound "Vauclain compound") locomotives were introduced, designated V class (V for Vauclain, В in Russian).
* Also from 1896, [Henschel](/wiki/Henschel_%26_Son "Henschel & Son")\-designed locomotives were introduced. Altogether 210 were built from 1896 to 1909, fourteen by Henschel and the rest in Russia. They were two\-cylinder compound locomotives with {{convert\|1700\|mm\|in\|adj\=on}} diameter coupled wheels and were regarded as a more successful design than the A class. These locomotives were later designated as the Zh class (Ж in Russian). A development of the Zh class was the superheated Z class (З in Russian), of which 24 were built from 1902\.
* From 1901 to 1903, stronger passenger locomotives were built, the G class (Г in Russian). These locomotives were of Vladicaucasian Railway and [Bryansk](/wiki/Bryansk "Bryansk") factory design. Of these, 39 were built for the Vladicaucasian Railway and another 85 for Eastern Chinese railroads. They were two\-cylinder compound locomotives with {{convert\|1730\|mm\|in\|adj\=on}} diameter coupled wheels. Some of these locomotives were later retrofitted with superheaters.
* [thumb\|[U class](/wiki/Russian_locomotive_class_U "Russian locomotive class U") [U\-127](/wiki/Locomotive_U-127 "Locomotive U-127"), Lenin's locomotive, at the [Museum of the Moscow Railway](/wiki/Museum_of_the_Moscow_Railway "Museum of the Moscow Railway")The](/wiki/File:Russian_Class_U_locomotive_Number_U127.JPG "Russian Class U locomotive Number U127.JPG") [class U](/wiki/Russian_locomotive_class_U "Russian locomotive class U") (У in Russian) was a four\-cylinder oil\-burning [De Glehn compound locomotive](/wiki/Compound_locomotive%23De_Glehn "Compound locomotive#De Glehn") which first appeared in 1906, initially on the Ryazan\-Ural railroad. Of these, 62 were built at the [Kirov Plant](/wiki/Kirov_Plant "Kirov Plant") between 1906 and 1916\. By the beginning of 1940, the inventory still listed 47 U class locomotives and the last of them were withdrawn in 1952\. Lenin's locomotive, U class No. U\-127 that was used during his funeral, is preserved at [the Museum of the Moscow Railway](/wiki/The_Museum_of_the_Moscow_Railway "The Museum of the Moscow Railway").
* Altogether 145 heavier superheated K\-class (К in Russian) passenger locomotives were built between 1907 and 1912\. They were of [Kolomna factory](/wiki/Kolomna_Locomotive_Works "Kolomna Locomotive Works") design and were two\-cylinder simple expansion (simplex) locomotives with {{convert\|1700\|mm\|in\|adj\=on}} diameter coupled wheels.
* At the same time, the Briansk factory designed an improved superheated development of the G class that was produced between 1907 and 1914 as the B class (Б in Russian). Altogether 252 were built in Briansk and Lugansk. They were two\-cylinder simplex locomotives with {{convert\|1830\|mm\|in}} diameter coupled wheels that were quite successful in express work.
* Between 1911 and 1914, Kolomna built 39 stronger {{nowrap\|K{{su\|p\=U}}}} class locomotives ({{nowrap\|К{{su\|p\=У}}}} in Russian) with {{convert\|1900\|mm\|in\|adj\=on}} diameter coupled wheels for faster trains.
### South Africa
Eighteen classes of {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} locomotives saw service in South Africa, sixteen on {{RailGauge\|Cape\|allk\=on}} and two on {{RailGauge\|2ft}} narrow gauge. Of these, only two were conventional tank locomotives, while two others were delivered as tank\-and\-tender locomotives with optional tenders.{{Paxton\-Bourne\|pages\=10\-11, 19\-20, 28, 41\-44, 104, 110, 113, 156}}
#### Cape gauge
[thumb\|left\|NGR Class G No. 26, {{circa\|1900}}](/wiki/File:NGR_K%26S_Class_26_%284-6-0T%29.jpg "NGR K&S Class 26 (4-6-0T).jpg")
Between 1879 and 1885, the [Natal Government Railways](/wiki/Natal_Government_Railways "Natal Government Railways") (NGR) placed 37 {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} tank locomotives in service. Of these, 18 were built by [Kitson and Company](/wiki/Kitson_and_Company "Kitson and Company") and 19 by Stephenson. On the NGR they were designated Class G. When the SAR was established in 1912, the 15 unmodified survivors were designated [Class C](/wiki/South_African_Class_C_4-6-0T "South African Class C 4-6-0T"). The last one was withdrawn from service in the mid\-1980s, after more than 105 years in service.
In 1880 and 1881, the Cape Government Railways (CGR) placed 18 [4th Class](/wiki/CGR_4th_Class_4-6-0TT_1880 "CGR 4th Class 4-6-0TT 1880") tank\-and\-tender locomotives in mainline service on its Midland System working out of Port Elizabeth and Eastern System working out of East London. Four of these locomotives were still in service when the South African Railways was established in 1912\.*C.G.R. Numbering Revised*, Article by Dave Littley, SA Rail May–June 1993, pp. 94\-95\.

In 1882 and 1883, the CGR placed 68 {{nowrap\|4th Class}} {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} tank\-and\-tender locomotives in mainline service on all three systems. It was an improved version of the 4th Class locomotives of 1880 with larger coupled wheels, built by two manufacturers. Robert Stephenson and Company built [33 with Stephenson valve gear](/wiki/CGR_4th_Class_4-6-0TT_1882 "CGR 4th Class 4-6-0TT 1882"), while Neilson and Company built [35 with Joy valve gear](/wiki/CGR_4th_Class_4-6-0TT_1882_Joy "CGR 4th Class 4-6-0TT 1882 Joy"). Of these locomotives, 26 were still in service when the South African Railways was established in 1912\.
[thumb\|left\|CGR experimental 4th Class](/wiki/File:CGR_4th_Class_4-6-0TT_1884_Joy_Exp.jpg "CGR 4th Class 4-6-0TT 1884 Joy Exp.jpg")
Four tank\-and\-tender locomotives of the CGR's [Experimental 4th Class](/wiki/CGR_4th_Class_4-6-0TT_1884 "CGR 4th Class 4-6-0TT 1884") were supplied by Neilson in 1884, built to the design of J.D. Tilney, Locomotive Superintendent of the Cape Eastern System at the time, to be able to use low\-grade local coal. They had [Joy valve gear](/wiki/Joy_valve_gear "Joy valve gear") and unusual six\-wheeled tenders, with the leading axle mounted in a rigid frame and the other two axles mounted in a bogie. One of the locomotives survived until 1912 and was designated SAR Class 04 as an obsolete locomotive.
The first twenty of the CGR [5th Class](/wiki/CGR_5th_Class_4-6-0_1890 "CGR 5th Class 4-6-0 1890") tender locomotives were delivered from [Dübs and Company](/wiki/D%C3%BCbs_and_Company "Dübs and Company") in 1890\. In 1891, the CGR placed a second batch of thirty [{{nowrap\|5th Class}}](/wiki/CGR_5th_Class_4-6-0_1891 "CGR 5th Class 4-6-0 1891") tender locomotives in mainline service on all three Cape Systems. They were similar to the previous batch of 1890, but differed in respect of the diameter of their coupled wheels, the length of their smokeboxes and their tractive effort. In 1912, when the South African Railways (SAR) was established, the survivors were considered obsolete and designated Class 05\. Nevertheless, some of the Class 05 locomotives survived as shunting engines in SAR service for another four decades. They were the last obsolete locomotives to be still in service when they were eventually withdrawn in 1953\.{{rp\|20}}*Classification of S.A.R. Engines with Renumbering Lists*, issued by the Chief Mechanical Engineer's Office, Pretoria, January 1912, pp. 27\-28\. (Reprinted in April 1987 by SATS Museum, R.3125\-6/9/11\-1000\)
The Cape 6th Class passenger locomotive was designed at the Salt River works of the CGR according to the specifications of Michael Stephens, then Chief Locomotive Superintendent of the CGR, and under the supervision of H.M. Beatty, then Locomotive Superintendent of the Cape's Western System. It was to become one of the most useful classes to see service in South Africa. In 1912, when they came into SAR stock, the 6th Class {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} family was reclassified into twelve separate classes.South African Railways and Harbours Locomotive Diagram Book, 2'0" \& 3'6" Gauge Steam Locomotives, 15 August 1941, as amended
[thumb\|Class 6, as delivered with a round\-topped firebox and three\-axle tender](/wiki/File:SAR_Class_6_433_%284-6-0%29_ex_CGR_357-OVGS_62-CSAR_338.jpg "SAR Class 6 433 (4-6-0) ex CGR 357-OVGS 62-CSAR 338.jpg")
* In 1893 and 1894, the CGR placed forty 6th Class locomotives in service, built by Dübs. Ten of them, sold to the *Oranje\-Vrijstaat Gouwerment\-Spoorwegen* (OVGS) in 1897, eventually became the Class 6\-L1 on the CSAR. In 1912, all forty were assimilated into the SAR and retained their [Class 6 designation](/wiki/South_African_Class_6_4-6-0 "South African Class 6 4-6-0"). (Also see [Sudan](/wiki/4-6-0%23Sudan "4-6-0#Sudan"))
* In 1896 and 1897, the CGR acquired a second batch of fifty, built by Dübs and [Sharp, Stewart and Company](/wiki/Sharp%2C_Stewart_and_Company "Sharp, Stewart and Company"). These locomotives differed from the previous order in having slightly larger boilers with an increased heating surface and higher coal capacity tenders. In 1907, one was sold to the Benguela Railway in Angola. The remaining 49 locomotives were designated [Class 6A](/wiki/South_African_Class_6A_4-6-0 "South African Class 6A 4-6-0") on the SAR in 1912\. (Also see [Angola \- Cape gauge](/wiki/4-6-0%23Angola "4-6-0#Angola") and [Sudan](/wiki/4-6-0%23Sudan "4-6-0#Sudan"))
* Between 1896 and 1898, the OVGS placed 24 new Cape Class 6 locomotives in service, built by Dübs, Neilson and Sharp, Stewart. During the [Second Boer War](/wiki/Second_Boer_War "Second Boer War"), these locomotives were taken over by the Imperial Military Railways (IMR) and after the war they became the CSAR Class 6\-L2\. All but one were assimilated into the SAR in 1912 and were designated [Class 6C](/wiki/South_African_Class_6C_4-6-0 "South African Class 6C 4-6-0").{{Holland\-Vol 2\|pages\=137\-138}} (Also see [Sudan](/wiki/4-6-0%23Sudan "4-6-0#Sudan"))
* In 1897 and 1898, the CGR placed a third batch of 55 in service, built by Dübs, [Neilson and Company](/wiki/Neilson_and_Company "Neilson and Company") and [Neilson, Reid and Company](/wiki/Neilson_and_Company%23Turn_of_the_20th_century "Neilson and Company#Turn of the 20th century"). They were virtually identical to the previous fifty, except that they had bogie\-wheeled tenders. In 1907, four were sold to the Benguela Railway in Angola. The remaining 51 locomotives were designated [Class 6B](/wiki/South_African_Class_6B_4-6-0 "South African Class 6B 4-6-0") in 1912\. (Also see [Angola – Cape gauge](/wiki/4-6-0%23Angola "4-6-0#Angola") and [Sudan](/wiki/4-6-0%23Sudan "4-6-0#Sudan"))
[thumb\|[SAR Class 6D](/wiki/South_African_Class_6D_4-6-0 "South African Class 6D 4-6-0")](/wiki/File:Class_6D_594_%284-6-0%29_ex_CGR_665.jpg "Class 6D 594 (4-6-0) ex CGR 665.jpg")
* In 1898, a fourth batch of 33 were placed in service by the CGR, built by Neilson, Reid. These represented a further advance on earlier 6th Class locomotives, with a greater heating surface and a larger grate area. In 1912, they were designated [Class 6D](/wiki/South_African_Class_6D_4-6-0 "South African Class 6D 4-6-0") on the SAR. (Also see [Sudan](/wiki/4-6-0%23Sudan "4-6-0#Sudan"))
* Also in 1898, the OVGS ordered its final six new Cape 6th Class locomotives from Sharp, Stewart. These were delivered with larger cabs than their predecessors and with bogie\-wheeled tenders. They were also taken over by the IMR and, after the war, came into the CSAR as Class 6\-L3\. In 1912, they became [Class 6E](/wiki/South_African_Class_6E_4-6-0 "South African Class 6E 4-6-0") on the SAR.
* In 1900, two redesigned 6th Class locomotives entered service on the CGR, built by Sharp, Stewart. They had bar frames, larger cabs and bogie\-wheeled tenders, and their larger heating surfaces and grate areas allowed a higher boiler pressure rating of {{convert\|180\|psi\|kPa\|abbr\=off\|sigfig\=3}}. In visual appearance, they differed from all previous 6th Class locomotives by having higher running boards without driving wheel fairings. In 1912, they were classified as [Class 6F](/wiki/South_African_Class_6F_4-6-0 "South African Class 6F 4-6-0") on the SAR.
[thumb\|Schenectady\-built 6th Class](/wiki/File:SAR_Class_6G_607_%284-6-0%29_ex_CGR_263.jpg "SAR Class 6G 607 (4-6-0) ex CGR 263.jpg")
* In 1901, eight 6th Class locomotives entered service, redesigned and built by the [Schenectady Locomotive Works](/wiki/Schenectady_Locomotive_Works "Schenectady Locomotive Works") to the specifications of the CGR. Also built on bar frames like the previous two and similar in appearance, they were larger, with larger boilers and {{convert\|17\+1/2\|in\|mm\|abbr\=off\|sigfig\=3}} diameter cylinders compared to the {{convert\|17\|in\|mm\|abbr\=off\|sigfig\=3}} of all earlier 6th Class locomotives. In 1912, they became [Class 6G](/wiki/South_African_Class_6G_4-6-0 "South African Class 6G 4-6-0") on the SAR.
* Also in 1901, a batch of 21 entered service on the CGR, built by Neilson, Reid to the older plate frame design, but with a larger cab. These also reverted to the {{convert\|17\|in\|mm\|abbr\=off\|sigfig\=3}} diameter cylinders of the previous British\-built locomotives, with the lower running boards with driving wheel fairings. One of them was experimental, being equipped with [Drummond](/wiki/Dugald_Drummond "Dugald Drummond") cross\-water tubes in the firebox. However, since the tubes were inclined to leak and were difficult to maintain, they were soon removed. In 1912, these locomotives became the [Class 6H](/wiki/South_African_Class_6H_4-6-0 "South African Class 6H 4-6-0") on the SAR.
* Ten bar\-framed locomotives were placed in service, also in 1901, designed and built by the [Baldwin Locomotive Works](/wiki/Baldwin_Locomotive_Works "Baldwin Locomotive Works") to the specifications of the CGR. They were larger than any of the previous 6th Class locomotives, with larger boilers, large cabs, cylinders of {{convert\|17\+1/2\|in\|mm\|abbr\=off\|sigfig\=3}} bore, bar frames, stovepipe chimneys, large domes and high running boards without driving wheel fairings. In 1912, they became [Class 6K](/wiki/South_African_Class_6K_4-6-0 "South African Class 6K 4-6-0") on the SAR.
[thumb\|SAR Class 6J No. 646](/wiki/File:Class_6J_646_%284-6-0%29_ex_CGR_538.jpg "Class 6J 646 (4-6-0) ex CGR 538.jpg")
* In 1902, fourteen bar\-framed 6th Class locomotives entered service on the CGR, built by Neilson, Reid. They were practically identical to the two bar\-framed locomotives built by Sharp, Stewart in 1900, with high running boards without driving wheel fairings. In 1912, they were designated [Class 6J](/wiki/South_African_Class_6J_4-6-0 "South African Class 6J 4-6-0") on the SAR.
* In 1904, the CGR placed its last two 6th Class bar\-framed locomotives in service, built by the [North British Locomotive Company](/wiki/North_British_Locomotive_Company "North British Locomotive Company") (NBL). They were experimental and were the first South African locomotives to have piston valves and [superheaters](/wiki/Superheater "Superheater"). The pistons, with a diameter of {{convert\|18\+1/2\|in\|mm\|abbr\=off\|sigfig\=3}}, were the largest yet used on the 6th Class. The [Schmidt](/wiki/Wilhelm_Schmidt_%28engineer%29 "Wilhelm Schmidt (engineer)") superheater was of the smokebox type, but the arrangement was extremely complicated and not very successful. In 1912, they became the [Class 6L](/wiki/South_African_Class_6L_4-6-0 "South African Class 6L 4-6-0") on the SAR and in 1915, when they were reboilered, the superheaters were removed to convert them to saturated steam locomotives. At the same time the piston\-valve cylinders were replaced with smaller slide\-valve cylinders of {{convert\|17\+1/2\|in\|mm\|abbr\=off\|sigfig\=3}} bore.
In 1897, the Pretoria\-Pietersburg Railway in the [Zuid\-Afrikaansche Republiek](/wiki/Zuid-Afrikaansche_Republiek "Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek") (Transvaal Republic) purchased a {{nowrap\|35 Tonner}} tank locomotive with a {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} wheel arrangement from the Lourenco Marques, Delagoa Bay and East Africa Railway in [Mozambique](/wiki/Mozambique "Mozambique"). The locomotive was not classified, but named [*Portuguese*](/wiki/PPR_35_Tonner_4-6-0T_Portuguese "PPR 35 Tonner 4-6-0T Portuguese") and referred to by name.
#### Narrow gauge
[thumb\|left\|SAR Class NG8](/wiki/File:CGR_Type_B.jpg "CGR Type B.jpg")
In 1903, the CGR placed six Type B {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} locomotives with eight\-wheeled bogie tenders in service on the [Avontuur](/wiki/Avontuur_Railway "Avontuur Railway") narrow gauge line in the [Langkloof](/wiki/Langkloof "Langkloof"). They were built by [W. G. Bagnall](/wiki/W._G._Bagnall "W. G. Bagnall") and had bar frames, copper fireboxes and [Stephenson valve gear](/wiki/Stephenson_valve_gear "Stephenson valve gear"). In 1912, they came into SAR stock and, in 1914, a further three locomotives with slightly longer boilers were acquired by the SAR. One of these was also built by Bagnall while the other two were built by [Kerr, Stuart and Company](/wiki/Kerr%2C_Stuart_and_Company "Kerr, Stuart and Company"). These three were commonly referred to as the Improved B. When a system of grouping narrow gauge locomotives into classes was eventually introduced somewhere between 1928 and 1930, they were to be classified as [Class NG8](/wiki/South_African_Class_NG8_4-6-0 "South African Class NG8 4-6-0") but had already been withdrawn from service.
During 1915 and 1916, the SAR placed six locomotives in service in the Langkloof, built by [Baldwin Locomotive Works](/wiki/Baldwin_Locomotive_Works "Baldwin Locomotive Works"). They were very similar to the Bagnall built Type B, except that they were equipped with [Walschaerts valve gear](/wiki/Walschaerts_valve_gear "Walschaerts valve gear"). They were later designated [Class NG9](/wiki/South_African_Class_NG9_4-6-0 "South African Class NG9 4-6-0"). Three of them survived in SAR service until April 1951, when they were sold to the [*Caminhos de Ferro de Moçâmedes*](/wiki/Mo%C3%A7%C3%A2medes_Railway "Moçâmedes Railway") (CFM) of [Angola](/wiki/Angola "Angola"). (Also see [Angola \- Narrow gauge](/wiki/4-6-0%23Angola "4-6-0#Angola"))
### Sudan
During the [Second World War](/wiki/Second_World_War "Second World War"), sixteen of the South African Railways (SAR) Classes 6 to 6D were transferred to the [Middle East](/wiki/Middle_East "Middle East") to assist with the war effort during the [North African Campaign](/wiki/North_African_Campaign "North African Campaign"). The group consisted of seven [Class 6](/wiki/South_African_Class_6_4-6-0 "South African Class 6 4-6-0"), four [Class 6A](/wiki/South_African_Class_6A_4-6-0 "South African Class 6A 4-6-0"), two [Class 6B](/wiki/South_African_Class_6B_4-6-0 "South African Class 6B 4-6-0"), one [Class 6C](/wiki/South_African_Class_6C_4-6-0 "South African Class 6C 4-6-0") and two [Class 6D](/wiki/South_African_Class_6D_4-6-0 "South African Class 6D 4-6-0") locomotives. They were sold to the [Sudan Railways Corporation](/wiki/Sudan_Railways "Sudan Railways") in 1942\.Class 6 to 6D sold to Sudan Railways during the WWII North African Campaign, list compiled by Austrian locomotive historian Reimar Holzinger (Also see [South Africa \- Cape gauge](/wiki/4-6-0%23South_Africa "4-6-0#South Africa"))

The RSR (Later [SRT](/wiki/State_Railway_of_Thailand "State Railway of Thailand")) had a fleet of British\-Built "E Class" 4\-6\-0s which were built in three batches of 12, 5 and 24 in 1913, 1915 and 1919 respectively. They were in service all the way near the end of steam in Thailand in the late 1970s to the early 1980s. Many of these engines have been preserved at various stations around the SRT network.
### United Kingdom
[thumb\|Highland Railway 'Jones Goods' No.103\.](/wiki/File:Hugh_llewelyn_103_%286325586872%29.jpg "Hugh llewelyn 103 (6325586872).jpg")
The first {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} locomotive to be introduced in the United Kingdom was the [Highland Railway's *Jones Goods* class](/wiki/Highland_Railway_Jones_Goods_Class "Highland Railway Jones Goods Class") of 1894, the first of which (No. 103\) survives. Within five years, however, the wheel arrangement was being used primarily on passenger service, since British heavy freight trains were generally too slow to require a locomotive with a four\-wheel leading bogie. Between 1906 and 1925, the {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} became the most common express passenger locomotive type in everyday use in the United Kingdom, as a logical development from the [4\-4\-0](/wiki/4-4-0 "4-4-0") type that was previously used. The {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} type continued to be used as [mixed traffic locomotive](/wiki/Mixed-traffic_locomotive "Mixed-traffic locomotive") until the end of steam in the United Kingdom in 1968\.
#### Pre\-grouping era
[thumb\|Pendennis Castle [GWR 4079](/wiki/GWR_4073_Class "GWR 4073 Class")](/wiki/File:4079_Locomotive_Class_4-6-0.jpg "4079 Locomotive Class 4-6-0.jpg")
During the [pre\-grouping era](/wiki/Railways_Act_1921 "Railways Act 1921"), from 1899 to 1923, [Wilson Worsdell](/wiki/Wilson_Worsdell "Wilson Worsdell") of the [North Eastern Railway](/wiki/North_Eastern_Railway_%28UK%29 "North Eastern Railway (UK)") (NER) used the type for his express passenger locomotives, the [S and S1 classes](/wiki/NER_Class_S "NER Class S") of 1899 and 1900 that became the B13 and B14 classes of the [London and North Eastern Railway](/wiki/London_and_North_Eastern_Railway "London and North Eastern Railway") (LNER) in 1923\. Soon afterwards, these were followed by the appearance of other designs.
* [John G. Robinson](/wiki/John_G._Robinson "John G. Robinson") of the [Great Central Railway](/wiki/Great_Central_Railway "Great Central Railway") (GCR) designed the [Class 8](/wiki/GCR_Class_8 "GCR Class 8") *Fish Engines* of 1902\.
* In 1902 and 1903, [George Jackson Churchward](/wiki/George_Jackson_Churchward "George Jackson Churchward") produced the [2900 *Saint* Class](/wiki/GWR_2900_Class "GWR 2900 Class"), which was the first in a long line of {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} classes operated by the [Great Western Railway](/wiki/Great_Western_Railway "Great Western Railway") (GWR).
* In 1903, [Francis Webb](/wiki/Francis_Webb_%28engineer%29 "Francis Webb (engineer)") of the [London and North Western Railway](/wiki/London_and_North_Western_Railway "London and North Western Railway") (LNWR) followed with his unsuccessful four\-cylinder [compound locomotives](/wiki/Compound_locomotive "Compound locomotive") of the [1400 *Bill Bailey* class](/wiki/LNWR_1400_Class "LNWR 1400 Class").
* Between 1905 and 1910, altogether 105 locomotives of [George Whale](/wiki/George_Whale "George Whale")'s [*Experiment* Class](/wiki/LNWR_Whale_Experiment_Class "LNWR Whale Experiment Class") were built for the LNWR.
Two notable {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} express passenger designs appeared in 1906\. One was the [Caledonian Railway](/wiki/Caledonian_Railway "Caledonian Railway")'s [*Cardean* Class](/wiki/Caledonian_Railway_49_and_903_Classes "Caledonian Railway 49 and 903 Classes") which was, at the time, the most powerful locomotive in Britain. The other was Churchward's four\-cylinder [GWR *Star* Class](/wiki/GWR_4000_Class "GWR 4000 Class"), which was developed and enlarged by [Charles Collett](/wiki/Charles_Collett "Charles Collett") as the [GWR 4073 *Castle* class](/wiki/GWR_4073_Class "GWR 4073 Class") in 1923 and later also as the [GWR 6000 *King* class](/wiki/GWR_6000_Class "GWR 6000 Class") in 1927\.
Other significant early express {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} designs included:
* The LNWR's [*Prince of Wales* Class](/wiki/LNWR_Prince_of_Wales_Class "LNWR Prince of Wales Class"), with 246 locomotives built between 1911 and 1921\.
* The [LNWR's *Claughton* Class](/wiki/LNWR_Claughton_Class "LNWR Claughton Class"), with 130 locomotives built between 1913 and 1924\.
* The [Class S69](/wiki/GER_Class_S69 "GER Class S69") of the [Great Eastern Railway](/wiki/Great_Eastern_Railway "Great Eastern Railway") (GER), with 81 locomotives produced between 1912 and 1928\.
[thumb\|*King Arthur* class 30777 *Sir Lamiel*](/wiki/File:30777_Sir_Lamiel_on_the_Quorn_Straight.jpg "30777 Sir Lamiel on the Quorn Straight.jpg")
[Robert Urie](/wiki/Robert_Urie "Robert Urie") of the [London and South Western Railway](/wiki/London_and_South_Western_Railway "London and South Western Railway") (LSWR) introduced three successful classes, the H15 class mixed traffic locomotives, introduced in 1914 and built until 1924, the [N15 *King Arthur* class](/wiki/LSWR_N15_class "LSWR N15 class"), with 74 locomotives built between 1919 and 1926, and the [S15 class](/wiki/LSWR_S15_class "LSWR S15 class"), with 45 locomotives built between 1920 and 1936\.
In 1907, [Wilson Worsdell](/wiki/Wilson_Worsdell "Wilson Worsdell") of the NER built ten W class {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}}T tank locomotives. These were all rebuilt to [NER Class W1](/wiki/NER_Class_W1 "NER Class W1") [4\-6\-2T Pacific](/wiki/4-6-2 "4-6-2") between 1914 and 1917\.[The London \& North Eastern Railway (LNER) Encyclopedia](http://www.lner.info/locos/A/a6.shtml)
#### Post\-grouping era
During the [post\-grouping era](/wiki/Railways_Act_1921 "Railways Act 1921") from 1923 to 1948, the {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} wheel arrangement was used extensively by all of the [Big Four British railway companies](/wiki/Big_Four_British_railway_companies "Big Four British railway companies"), especially by the [Great Western Railway](/wiki/Great_Western_Railway "Great Western Railway") (GWR) and the [London, Midland and Scottish Railway](/wiki/London%2C_Midland_and_Scottish_Railway "London, Midland and Scottish Railway") (LMS), who continued to develop new designs.
[thumb\|right\|GWR 4073 Class [5043 *Earl of Mount Edgcumbe*](/wiki/GWR_4073_Class_5043_Earl_of_Mount_Edgcumbe "GWR 4073 Class 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe")](/wiki/File:GWR_5043_Earl_of_Mount_Edgcumbe_Didcot_Railway_Centre_4th_March_2023.jpg "GWR 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe Didcot Railway Centre 4th March 2023.jpg")
However, from the early 1930s, demands for more power and improved performance from express passenger locomotives led to the widespread introduction of [4\-6\-2 Pacific](/wiki/4-6-2 "4-6-2") locomotives, where the trailing axle could support a larger [firebox](/wiki/Firebox_%28steam_engine%29 "Firebox (steam engine)"). Since the reduced traction of the driving wheels was not a big disadvantage with relatively light passenger trains, the {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} was displaced from top\-rank express services on most of the railways where they had been used, with the exception of the GWR who continued to build both mixed\-traffic and express passenger {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}}s until nationalisation in 1948\. The [GWR's 4073 *Castle* Class](/wiki/GWR_4073_Class "GWR 4073 Class") eventually consisted of 171 express passenger locomotives, built between 1923 and 1950\. The design was enlarged as the [GWR's 6000 *King* Class](/wiki/GWR_6000_Class "GWR 6000 Class"), with thirty locomotives built between 1927 and 1930\.
Several new mixed traffic {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0s}} were also introduced:
* The [Southern Railway](/wiki/Southern_Railway_%28UK%29 "Southern Railway (UK)") improved the LSWR's *King Arthur* class and introduced the [*Lord Nelson* class](/wiki/SR_Lord_Nelson_class "SR Lord Nelson class"), which was briefly the most powerful class in Britain. Sixteen locomotives were built between 1926 and 1929\.
* The LMS introduced the [7P *Royal Scot* class](/wiki/LMS_Royal_Scot_Class "LMS Royal Scot Class"), with 71 locomotives built between 1927 and 1930, and the [6P *Patriot* class](/wiki/LMS_Patriot_Class "LMS Patriot Class"), with 52 locomotives built between 1930 and 1934\. All of the *Royal Scots* and 18 of the *Patriots* were subsequently rebuilt in line with Stanier's practice and were very successful in this form.
* The largest and most successful British {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} class was the [LMS Class 5 *Black Five*](/wiki/LMS_Stanier_Class_5_4-6-0 "LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0"), designed by [William Stanier](/wiki/William_Stanier "William Stanier") and consisting of 842 locomotives, built between 1934 and 1951\. Stanier also designed the [LMS 6P *Jubilee* class](/wiki/LMS_Jubilee_Class "LMS Jubilee Class"), with 191 locomotives built between 1934 and 1936\.
[thumb\|right\|GWR *Hall* Class *Olton Hall* hauled the *Hogwarts Express* in the [*Harry Potter* films](/wiki/Harry_Potter_%28film_series%29 "Harry Potter (film series)")](/wiki/File:GWR_%27Hall%27_5972_%27Olton_Hall%27_at_Doncaster_Works.JPG "GWR 'Hall' 5972 'Olton Hall' at Doncaster Works.JPG")
Charles Collett of the GWR developed [Churchward's](/wiki/George_Jackson_Churchward "George Jackson Churchward") 1902 *Saint* class design into three further classes:
* The [GWR 4900 *Hall*](/wiki/GWR_4900_Class "GWR 4900 Class") class, with 259 locomotives built between 1928 and 1943\.
* The [GWR 6800 *Grange*](/wiki/GWR_6800_Class "GWR 6800 Class") class, with eighty locomotives built between 1936 and 1939\.
* The [GWR 7800 *Manor*](/wiki/GWR_7800_Class "GWR 7800 Class") class, with thirty locomotives built between 1938 and 1950\.
[Frederick Hawksworth](/wiki/Frederick_Hawksworth "Frederick Hawksworth") later developed the *Saint* class design further, first with his [GWR 6959 *Modified Hall* Class](/wiki/GWR_6959_Class "GWR 6959 Class"), with 71 locomotives built between 1944 and 1950, and then with his [GWR 1000 *County* Class](/wiki/GWR_1000_Class "GWR 1000 Class"), with thirty locomotives built between 1945 and 1947\.
The LNER inherited large numbers of {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} locomotives from its constituent companies, many of which were subsequently rebuilt, so that the company ultimately had sixty different classes and sub\-classes with this wheel arrangement. In addition, the company also introduced two new {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} classes.
* The [B17 class](/wiki/LNER_Class_B17 "LNER Class B17"), designed by [Nigel Gresley](/wiki/Nigel_Gresley "Nigel Gresley"), of which 73 were built between 1928 and 1937\.
* The [B1 class](/wiki/LNER_Thompson_Class_B1 "LNER Thompson Class B1"), designed by [Edward Thompson](/wiki/Edward_Thompson_%28engineer%29 "Edward Thompson (engineer)"), of which 410 locomotives were built between 1942 and 1952\.*Locomotives of the L.N.E.R. Part 1 Preliminary Survey*, Railway Correspondence and Travel Society, 1963, pp. 105\-7\.
[thumb\|right\|BR standard class 5](/wiki/File:73050_at_Wansford.jpg "73050 at Wansford.jpg")
#### British Railways era
Following the formation of [British Railways](/wiki/British_Railways "British Railways") in 1948, two further {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} classes were introduced, both in 1951\.
* The [BR Standard Class 5](/wiki/BR_Standard_Class_5 "BR Standard Class 5") was based on Stanier's successful LMS *Black Five* of 1934\. Altogether 172 locomotives were built by 1957\.
* A lighter and less powerful design was the [BR Standard Class 4](/wiki/BR_Standard_Class_4_4-6-0 "BR Standard Class 4 4-6-0"). Eighty of these were built by 1957\.
### United States
The first {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} locomotive built in the United States was the *Chesapeake*, built by [Norris Locomotive Works](/wiki/Norris_Locomotive_Works "Norris Locomotive Works") for the [Philadelphia and Reading](/wiki/Reading_Company "Reading Company") railroad in March 1847\. There are still conflicting opinions as to who the original designer of this type was. Many authorities attribute the design to [Septimus Norris](/wiki/Septimus_Norris "Septimus Norris") of Norris Locomotive Works, but in an 1885 paper, George E. Sellers attributes the design to John Brandt who worked for the [Erie Railroad](/wiki/Erie_Railroad "Erie Railroad") between 1842 and 1851\.
* According to Sellers, the Erie's own management didn't feel it in their best interests to pursue construction, so Brandt approached [Baldwin Locomotive Works](/wiki/Baldwin_Locomotive_Works "Baldwin Locomotive Works") and Norris with the design. Baldwin was similarly uninterested, but Norris liked the idea. [James Millholland](/wiki/James_Millholland "James Millholland") of the Reading also saw the {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} design and ordered one from Norris for the Reading. However, Sellers may have misinterpreted some of the information since Millholland did not work for the Reading until 1848, a year after the locomotive was built. Furthermore, Sellers refers to the first {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} to be constructed as the *Susquehanna*, which was the Erie railroad's first {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}}, not the Reading's.
* The attribution to Septimus Norris stems from a patent, allegedly filed in 1846, that many sources cite for this locomotive type. However, such a patent has not yet been found in searches at the [United States Patent and Trademark Office](/wiki/United_States_Patent_and_Trademark_Office "United States Patent and Trademark Office") (USPTO). Septimus Norris did file a patent in 1854 for running gears, and the patent application showed a {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} wheel arrangement in the drawing. Norris' wording in the 1854 patent was vague with regard to the {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} wheel arrangement and the filing did not specifically claim invention of the {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} configuration.
[thumb\|right\|A {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} [Camelback locomotive](/wiki/Camelback_locomotive "Camelback locomotive")](/wiki/File:Camelback.jpg "Camelback.jpg")
A few days after William Norris completed the *Chesapeake*, [Hinkley Locomotive Works](/wiki/Hinkley_Locomotive_Works "Hinkley Locomotive Works") completed their first {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} locomotive, the *New Hampshire*, for the [Boston and Maine](/wiki/Boston_and_Maine_Corporation "Boston and Maine Corporation") Railroad. The first {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} from [Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works](/wiki/Rogers_Locomotive_and_Machine_Works "Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works") was the already\-mentioned *Susquehanna* for the Erie Railroad. Baldwin's first {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} locomotive did not appear until 1852\.
Through the 1860s and into the 1870s, demand for locomotives of the {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} wheel arrangement grew as more railroad executives switched from purchasing a single, general\-purpose type of locomotive such as the [4\-4\-0 American](/wiki/4-4-0 "4-4-0") at that time, to purchasing locomotives designed for a specific purpose. Both the [Pennsylvania Railroad](/wiki/Pennsylvania_Railroad "Pennsylvania Railroad") (PRR) and the [Baltimore and Ohio Railroad](/wiki/Baltimore_and_Ohio_Railroad "Baltimore and Ohio Railroad") (B\&O) were early adopters of the {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}}, using them for fast freight as well as heavy passenger trains.

There were also two 3 ft narrow gauge {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} steam locomotives, No. 72 (No. 274\) and No. 73 (No. 275\), built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in May 1925 for the [United Railways of Yucatán](/wiki/Ferrocarriles_Unidos_de_Yucat%C3%A1n "Ferrocarriles Unidos de Yucatán") in Mexico, where they operated until being retired in the 1960s and were eventually purchased by Disney imagineers [Roger E. Broggie](/wiki/Roger_E._Broggie "Roger E. Broggie") and Earl Vilmer for $8,000 each to operate on the [Walt Disney World Railroad](/wiki/Walt_Disney_World_Railroad "Walt Disney World Railroad") circling the [Magic Kingdom](/wiki/Magic_Kingdom "Magic Kingdom") in [Bay Lake, Florida](/wiki/Bay_Lake%2C_Florida "Bay Lake, Florida").

A notable American ten\-wheeler is the [Illinois Central Railroad](/wiki/Illinois_Central_Railroad "Illinois Central Railroad")'s [No. 382](/wiki/Illinois_Central_382 "Illinois Central 382"), the locomotive driven by [Casey Jones](/wiki/Casey_Jones "Casey Jones") in a train wreck [Vaughan, Mississippi](/wiki/Vaughan%2C_Mississippi "Vaughan, Mississippi"), on April 30, 1900, that killed him instantly. But after an eventful career with 6 accidents, she was scrapped in July 1935 at the age of 37, the same age of her driver Casey Jones when he died. A [Clinchfield Railroad](/wiki/Clinchfield_Railroad "Clinchfield Railroad") locomotive of the {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} type No. 99 replaced her in 1956 and is on display at the Casey Jones museum in [Jackson, Tennessee](/wiki/Jackson%2C_Tennessee "Jackson, Tennessee").
As far as is known, the heaviest {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} ever built was Southern Pacific No. 2371\. According to R\&LHS Bulletin No. 94, its engine weight was {{convert\|242500\|lb\|t}}. The heaviest class of {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}}'s ever put into series production was the [Pennsylvania Railroad class G5](/wiki/Pennsylvania_Railroad_class_G5 "Pennsylvania Railroad class G5") with 90 examples completed in the mid\-1920s, which were some {{convert\|5500\|lb\|t}} lighter.
One of the B\&O's {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}}s, built in 1869, is preserved at the [B\&O Railroad Museum](/wiki/B%26O_Railroad_Museum "B&O Railroad Museum") in [Baltimore](/wiki/Baltimore "Baltimore"). Another is at the [National Museum of Transportation](/wiki/National_Museum_of_Transportation "National Museum of Transportation") in St. Louis. A third, The [Great Northern Railway's](/wiki/Great_Northern_Railway_%28U.S.%29 "Great Northern Railway (U.S.)") [GN 1355](/wiki/GN_1355 "GN 1355"), built in 1909 as a {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} but rebuilt to a [4\-6\-2 Pacific](/wiki/4-6-2 "4-6-2") in 1924, is in [Sioux City, Iowa](/wiki/Sioux_City%2C_Iowa "Sioux City, Iowa").
[Nevada Northern Railway's](/wiki/Nevada_Northern_Railway "Nevada Northern Railway") No. 40 a 1910 built {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} has been preserved on the railroad and is known by the nickname "The Ghost Train of Ely".

By 1912\\-1921, just before receiving 4\\-6\\-0 engines, SCS had improved the quality of their line, especially on the Cirebon–Semarang which is 226 kilometres (140 miles) away with the aim to increase the speed limits of their trains. Speed limit for trains on the Cirebon–Semarang route had been changed from 59 kilometres per hour (37 miles per hour) to 75 kilometres per hour (47 miles per hour). With the improvement in the quality of this rail line, the SCS 200s with express trains could serve passengers traveling from Batavia to Semarang in just 7 hours. Passengers first have a transit at [Cheribon](/wiki/Cirebon_railway_station \"Cirebon railway station\") which owned by SS, then they continue using SCS trains to Semarang. During [Japanese occupation](/wiki/Japanese_occupation_of_the_Dutch_East_Indies \"Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies\"), all SCS Class 200 were renumbered to C54 class and around 4 units of them were moved to [Sumatra](/wiki/Sumatra \"Sumatra\") to serve the Muaro ([West Sumatra](/wiki/West_Sumatra \"West Sumatra\"))–[Pekanbaru](/wiki/Pekanbaru \"Pekanbaru\") (Riau) train transport line.

"The only Irish railways to use the 4\\-6\\-0 type were the Great Southern \\& Western Railway (GS\\&WR) and its larger successor, Great Southern Railways (GSR). The GS\\&WR had 4\\-6\\-0s for both fast freight and express passenger service. The culmination of Irish 4\\-6\\-0 design was the [GSR Class 800](/wiki/GSR_Class_800 \"GSR Class 800\") or B1a class, introduced in 1939\\. Three of these locomotives were built for top express passenger work on the Dublin\\-Cork mainline, coincidentally resembling the United Kingdom's [*Royal Scot* Class](/wiki/LMS_Royal_Scot_Class \"LMS Royal Scot Class\") as rebuilt. They were the last new steam locomotives to be built for the GSR.",
"### New Zealand",
"The [New Zealand Railways Department](/wiki/New_Zealand_Railways_Department \"New Zealand Railways Department\") built its first home\\-built tender locomotives in 1894, using the 4\\-6\\-0 wheel arrangement. Designated as the \"U\" class their production run lasted for a decade and produced only nine locomotives. Lack of colonial capacity resulted in an order for units built in the United Kingdom \\- but production delays led to a batch of ten Baldwin\\-built locomotives being ordered \\- which were promptly delivered. When the half\\-dozen Sharp Stewart examples entered service the designation in the annual locomotive returns became the \"Colonial U\", \"American U\", and \"English U\" even though the Sharp Stewarts were built in Scotland.",
"Another Baldwin batch and Sharp Stewart batch arrived into service in 1901, along with a sample from Richmond and another sample from Brooks \\- although the ALCO merger occurred before delivery. With the proliferation of batches the classification became \"U\" for the colonial\\-built examples, \"Ua\" for the early Sharp Stewarts, \"Ub\" for all American\\-built locomotives, and \"Uc\" for the second batch of Sharp Stewarts.",
"The Baldwins were considered free steamers and were for a time the best locomotives in the colony. The Brooks was highly regarded. The Richmond was not successful. The Sharp Stewarts and colonial locomotives were more finely built than the Baldwins \\- but poorer steamers. The colonial locomotives were never successful in mainline work \\- they subsequently became a useful branchline locomotive.",
"By 1901 the introduction of \"Pacific\" types began to push the Ten\\-Wheelers into second\\-tier service. The combination of standardisation and the Great Depression saw the Ua, early Ub, and the sample locomotives scrapped. The later Ub and Uc classes lasted until 1957 \\- but were scrapped whenever uneconomic repairs were needed, and also because dieselisation had begun to displace more modern steam locomotives into what had been their territory. Even in their last years, the Sharp Stewarts did primarily passenger duty because they didn't have the hauling ability for freight work when compared to the Baldwins.",
"The privately owned Wellington and Manawatu Railway purchased two Ten\\-Wheelers from Baldwin in 1904\\. In 1908 they were acquired by the Government and became the Ud Class. They were also a victim of standardisation and were scrapped when repairs were required \\- the last being written off in 1931\\.

They had bar frames, larger cabs and bogie\\-wheeled tenders, and their larger heating surfaces and grate areas allowed a higher boiler pressure rating of {{convert\\|180\\|psi\\|kPa\\|abbr\\=off\\|sigfig\\=3}}. In visual appearance, they differed from all previous 6th Class locomotives by having higher running boards without driving wheel fairings. In 1912, they were classified as [Class 6F](/wiki/South_African_Class_6F_4-6-0 \"South African Class 6F 4-6-0\") on the SAR.\n[thumb\\|Schenectady\\-built 6th Class](/wiki/File:SAR_Class_6G_607_%284-6-0%29_ex_CGR_263.jpg \"SAR Class 6G 607 (4-6-0) ex CGR 263.jpg\")\n* In 1901, eight 6th Class locomotives entered service, redesigned and built by the [Schenectady Locomotive Works](/wiki/Schenectady_Locomotive_Works \"Schenectady Locomotive Works\") to the specifications of the CGR. Also built on bar frames like the previous two and similar in appearance, they were larger, with larger boilers and {{convert\\|17\\+1/2\\|in\\|mm\\|abbr\\=off\\|sigfig\\=3}} diameter cylinders compared to the {{convert\\|17\\|in\\|mm\\|abbr\\=off\\|sigfig\\=3}} of all earlier 6th Class locomotives. In 1912, they became [Class 6G](/wiki/South_African_Class_6G_4-6-0 \"South African Class 6G 4-6-0\") on the SAR.\n* Also in 1901, a batch of 21 entered service on the CGR, built by Neilson, Reid to the older plate frame design, but with a larger cab. These also reverted to the {{convert\\|17\\|in\\|mm\\|abbr\\=off\\|sigfig\\=3}} diameter cylinders of the previous British\\-built locomotives, with the lower running boards with driving wheel fairings. One of them was experimental, being equipped with [Drummond](/wiki/Dugald_Drummond \"Dugald Drummond\") cross\\-water tubes in the firebox. However, since the tubes were inclined to leak and were difficult to maintain, they were soon removed. In 1912, these locomotives became the [Class 6H](/wiki/South_African_Class_6H_4-6-0 \"South African Class 6H 4-6-0\") on the SAR.\n* Ten bar\\-framed locomotives were placed in service, also in 1901, designed and built by the [Baldwin Locomotive Works](/wiki/Baldwin_Locomotive_Works \"Baldwin Locomotive Works\") to the specifications of the CGR.

They were practically identical to the two bar\\-framed locomotives built by Sharp, Stewart in 1900, with high running boards without driving wheel fairings. In 1912, they were designated [Class 6J](/wiki/South_African_Class_6J_4-6-0 \"South African Class 6J 4-6-0\") on the SAR.\n* In 1904, the CGR placed its last two 6th Class bar\\-framed locomotives in service, built by the [North British Locomotive Company](/wiki/North_British_Locomotive_Company \"North British Locomotive Company\") (NBL). They were experimental and were the first South African locomotives to have piston valves and [superheaters](/wiki/Superheater \"Superheater\"). The pistons, with a diameter of {{convert\\|18\\+1/2\\|in\\|mm\\|abbr\\=off\\|sigfig\\=3}}, were the largest yet used on the 6th Class. The [Schmidt](/wiki/Wilhelm_Schmidt_%28engineer%29 \"Wilhelm Schmidt (engineer)\") superheater was of the smokebox type, but the arrangement was extremely complicated and not very successful. In 1912, they became the [Class 6L](/wiki/South_African_Class_6L_4-6-0 \"South African Class 6L 4-6-0\") on the SAR and in 1915, when they were reboilered, the superheaters were removed to convert them to saturated steam locomotives. At the same time the piston\\-valve cylinders were replaced with smaller slide\\-valve cylinders of {{convert\\|17\\+1/2\\|in\\|mm\\|abbr\\=off\\|sigfig\\=3}} bore.",
"In 1897, the Pretoria\\-Pietersburg Railway in the [Zuid\\-Afrikaansche Republiek](/wiki/Zuid-Afrikaansche_Republiek \"Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek\") (Transvaal Republic) purchased a {{nowrap\\|35 Tonner}} tank locomotive with a {{nowrap\\|4\\-6\\-0}} wheel arrangement from the Lourenco Marques, Delagoa Bay and East Africa Railway in [Mozambique](/wiki/Mozambique \"Mozambique\").

There are still conflicting opinions as to who the original designer of this type was. Many authorities attribute the design to [Septimus Norris](/wiki/Septimus_Norris \"Septimus Norris\") of Norris Locomotive Works, but in an 1885 paper, George E.

Baldwin was similarly uninterested, but Norris liked the idea. [James Millholland](/wiki/James_Millholland \"James Millholland\") of the Reading also saw the {{nowrap\\|4\\-6\\-0}} design and ordered one from Norris for the Reading.

Furthermore, Sellers refers to the first {{nowrap\\|4\\-6\\-0}} to be constructed as the *Susquehanna*, which was the Erie railroad's first {{nowrap\\|4\\-6\\-0}}, not the Reading's.\n* The attribution to Septimus Norris stems from a patent, allegedly filed in 1846, that many sources cite for this locomotive type. However, such a patent has not yet been found in searches at the [United States Patent and Trademark Office](/wiki/United_States_Patent_and_Trademark_Office \"United States Patent and Trademark Office\") (USPTO). Septimus Norris did file a patent in 1854 for running gears, and the patent application showed a {{nowrap\\|4\\-6\\-0}} wheel arrangement in the drawing.

### Finland
The [Finnish State Railways](/wiki/VR_Group "VR Group") (*Suomen Valtion Rautatiet* or SVR, later the *Valtionrautatiet* or VR) operated the Classes Hk1, Hk2, Hk3, Hk5, [Hv1](/wiki/VR_Class_Hv1 "VR Class Hv1"), Hv2, Hv3, Hv4, Hr2 and Hr3 locomotives with a {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} wheel arrangement.
The Class Hk1, numbers 232 to 241, was built by [Baldwin Locomotive Works](/wiki/Baldwin_Locomotive_Works "Baldwin Locomotive Works") in 1898\. The ten Baldwin locomotives were originally designated H1 class.
Numbers 291 to 300 and 322 to 333 were built by the [Richmond Locomotive Works](/wiki/Richmond_Locomotive_Works "Richmond Locomotive Works") in 1900 and 1901\. The 22 Richmond locomotives were originally designated H2 class and were nicknamed *Big\-Wheel Kaanari*. One of them, No. 293, the locomotive that brought [Lenin](/wiki/Lenin "Lenin") from exile in August–September 1917 prior to the Russian Revolution, was presented by [Finland](/wiki/Finland "Finland") to the [Soviet Union](/wiki/Soviet_Union "Soviet Union") on 13 June 1957 and is preserved at the [Finland Station](/wiki/Finland_Station "Finland Station") in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Another 100 of these locomotives were manufactured in Finland from 1903 to 1916, numbered in the range from 437 to 574 and initially designated H3 to H8 classes.
The Class Hk5 was numbered from 439 to 515\. One, No. 497, is preserved at [Haapamäki](/wiki/Haapam%C3%A4ki "Haapamäki").
[thumb\|left\|Finnish [Class Hv1](/wiki/VR_Class_Hv1 "VR Class Hv1") {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}}, built by [Tampella](/wiki/Tampella "Tampella") in 1915](/wiki/File:Finnish460.jpg "Finnish460.jpg")
The [Class Hv1](/wiki/VR_Class_Hv1 "VR Class Hv1") was built from 1915 by [Tampella](/wiki/Tampella "Tampella") and [Lokomo](/wiki/Lokomo "Lokomo"). They were nicknamed *Heikki* and were numbered 545 to 578 and 648 to 655\. The class remained in service until 1967\. One, No. 555 named *Princess*, is preserved at the [Finnish Railway Museum](/wiki/Finnish_Railway_Museum "Finnish Railway Museum").
[thumb\|right\|Class Hv2 No. 583 at Helsinki Central station in 1960](/wiki/File:Hv2_Helsinki_1960.jpg "Hv2 Helsinki 1960.jpg")
The Class Hv2 was built by [Berliner Maschinenbau](/wiki/Berliner_Maschinenbau "Berliner Maschinenbau") and Lokomo in the years between 1919 and 1926\. They were numbered 579 to 593, 671 to 684 and 777 to 780\. One, No. 680, is preserved at Haapamäki.
The Class Hv3 was built by Berliner, Tampella and Lokomo in the years from 1921 to 1941\. They were numbered 638 to 647, 781 to 785 and 991 to 999\. Three Class Hv3 locomotives were preserved, No. 781 at [Kerava](/wiki/Kerava "Kerava"), No. 995 at [Suolahti](/wiki/Suolahti "Suolahti") and No. 998 at Haapamäki.
The Class Hv4 was built by Tampella and Lokomo in the years from 1912 to 1933 and were numbered 516 to 529, 742 to 751 and 757 to 760\. Two, numbers 742 and 751, are preserved at Haapamäki.
The [Swedish State Railways](/wiki/Swedish_State_Railways "Swedish State Railways") (*Statens Järnvägar* or SJ) sold its Class Ta and Tb locomotives to Finland in 1942\. At the time, they were not in traffic in Sweden and, since they were purchased by Finland, they were not considered as war assistance. The Class Ta was designated Class Hr2 in Finland while the Class Tb was designated Class Hr3\.
* The Class Hr2 was numbered from 1900 to 1906 and had been built by [Swedish](/wiki/Sweden "Sweden") builders [NOHAB](/wiki/NOHAB "NOHAB") (*Nydqvist \& Holm AB*) and [Motala Verkstad](/wiki/Motala_Verkstad "Motala Verkstad") in the years from 1901 to 1905\. They were withdrawn from service in Finland between 1950 and 1953\.
* The Class Hr3 was numbered from 1907 to 1919 and had been built in Sweden by NOHAB, Motala, the *Vagn \& Maskinfabriks AB* in [Falun](/wiki/Falun "Falun") and *Nya AB Atlas* in [Stockholm](/wiki/Stockholm "Stockholm") in the years from 1906 to 1908\.

The first {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} locomotive to be introduced in the United Kingdom was the [Highland Railway's *Jones Goods* class](/wiki/Highland_Railway_Jones_Goods_Class "Highland Railway Jones Goods Class") of 1894, the first of which (No. 103\) survives. Within five years, however, the wheel arrangement was being used primarily on passenger service, since British heavy freight trains were generally too slow to require a locomotive with a four\-wheel leading bogie. Between 1906 and 1925, the {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} became the most common express passenger locomotive type in everyday use in the United Kingdom, as a logical development from the [4\-4\-0](/wiki/4-4-0 "4-4-0") type that was previously used. The {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} type continued to be used as [mixed traffic locomotive](/wiki/Mixed-traffic_locomotive "Mixed-traffic locomotive") until the end of steam in the United Kingdom in 1968\.

During the [pre\-grouping era](/wiki/Railways_Act_1921 "Railways Act 1921"), from 1899 to 1923, [Wilson Worsdell](/wiki/Wilson_Worsdell "Wilson Worsdell") of the [North Eastern Railway](/wiki/North_Eastern_Railway_%28UK%29 "North Eastern Railway (UK)") (NER) used the type for his express passenger locomotives, the [S and S1 classes](/wiki/NER_Class_S "NER Class S") of 1899 and 1900 that became the B13 and B14 classes of the [London and North Eastern Railway](/wiki/London_and_North_Eastern_Railway "London and North Eastern Railway") (LNER) in 1923\. Soon afterwards, these were followed by the appearance of other designs.
* [John G. Robinson](/wiki/John_G._Robinson "John G. Robinson") of the [Great Central Railway](/wiki/Great_Central_Railway "Great Central Railway") (GCR) designed the [Class 8](/wiki/GCR_Class_8 "GCR Class 8") *Fish Engines* of 1902\.
* In 1902 and 1903, [George Jackson Churchward](/wiki/George_Jackson_Churchward "George Jackson Churchward") produced the [2900 *Saint* Class](/wiki/GWR_2900_Class "GWR 2900 Class"), which was the first in a long line of {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} classes operated by the [Great Western Railway](/wiki/Great_Western_Railway "Great Western Railway") (GWR).
* In 1903, [Francis Webb](/wiki/Francis_Webb_%28engineer%29 "Francis Webb (engineer)") of the [London and North Western Railway](/wiki/London_and_North_Western_Railway "London and North Western Railway") (LNWR) followed with his unsuccessful four\-cylinder [compound locomotives](/wiki/Compound_locomotive "Compound locomotive") of the [1400 *Bill Bailey* class](/wiki/LNWR_1400_Class "LNWR 1400 Class").
* Between 1905 and 1910, altogether 105 locomotives of [George Whale](/wiki/George_Whale "George Whale")'s [*Experiment* Class](/wiki/LNWR_Whale_Experiment_Class "LNWR Whale Experiment Class") were built for the LNWR.
Two notable {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} express passenger designs appeared in 1906\. One was the [Caledonian Railway](/wiki/Caledonian_Railway "Caledonian Railway")'s [*Cardean* Class](/wiki/Caledonian_Railway_49_and_903_Classes "Caledonian Railway 49 and 903 Classes") which was, at the time, the most powerful locomotive in Britain. The other was Churchward's four\-cylinder [GWR *Star* Class](/wiki/GWR_4000_Class "GWR 4000 Class"), which was developed and enlarged by [Charles Collett](/wiki/Charles_Collett "Charles Collett") as the [GWR 4073 *Castle* class](/wiki/GWR_4073_Class "GWR 4073 Class") in 1923 and later also as the [GWR 6000 *King* class](/wiki/GWR_6000_Class "GWR 6000 Class") in 1927\.
Other significant early express {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} designs included:
* The LNWR's [*Prince of Wales* Class](/wiki/LNWR_Prince_of_Wales_Class "LNWR Prince of Wales Class"), with 246 locomotives built between 1911 and 1921\.
* The [LNWR's *Claughton* Class](/wiki/LNWR_Claughton_Class "LNWR Claughton Class"), with 130 locomotives built between 1913 and 1924\.
* The [Class S69](/wiki/GER_Class_S69 "GER Class S69") of the [Great Eastern Railway](/wiki/Great_Eastern_Railway "Great Eastern Railway") (GER), with 81 locomotives produced between 1912 and 1928\.
[thumb\|*King Arthur* class 30777 *Sir Lamiel*](/wiki/File:30777_Sir_Lamiel_on_the_Quorn_Straight.jpg "30777 Sir Lamiel on the Quorn Straight.jpg")
[Robert Urie](/wiki/Robert_Urie "Robert Urie") of the [London and South Western Railway](/wiki/London_and_South_Western_Railway "London and South Western Railway") (LSWR) introduced three successful classes, the H15 class mixed traffic locomotives, introduced in 1914 and built until 1924, the [N15 *King Arthur* class](/wiki/LSWR_N15_class "LSWR N15 class"), with 74 locomotives built between 1919 and 1926, and the [S15 class](/wiki/LSWR_S15_class "LSWR S15 class"), with 45 locomotives built between 1920 and 1936\.
In 1907, [Wilson Worsdell](/wiki/Wilson_Worsdell "Wilson Worsdell") of the NER built ten W class {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}}T tank locomotives.

During the [post\-grouping era](/wiki/Railways_Act_1921 "Railways Act 1921") from 1923 to 1948, the {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} wheel arrangement was used extensively by all of the [Big Four British railway companies](/wiki/Big_Four_British_railway_companies "Big Four British railway companies"), especially by the [Great Western Railway](/wiki/Great_Western_Railway "Great Western Railway") (GWR) and the [London, Midland and Scottish Railway](/wiki/London%2C_Midland_and_Scottish_Railway "London, Midland and Scottish Railway") (LMS), who continued to develop new designs.
[thumb\|right\|GWR 4073 Class [5043 *Earl of Mount Edgcumbe*](/wiki/GWR_4073_Class_5043_Earl_of_Mount_Edgcumbe "GWR 4073 Class 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe")](/wiki/File:GWR_5043_Earl_of_Mount_Edgcumbe_Didcot_Railway_Centre_4th_March_2023.jpg "GWR 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe Didcot Railway Centre 4th March 2023.jpg")
However, from the early 1930s, demands for more power and improved performance from express passenger locomotives led to the widespread introduction of [4\-6\-2 Pacific](/wiki/4-6-2 "4-6-2") locomotives, where the trailing axle could support a larger [firebox](/wiki/Firebox_%28steam_engine%29 "Firebox (steam engine)"). Since the reduced traction of the driving wheels was not a big disadvantage with relatively light passenger trains, the {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} was displaced from top\-rank express services on most of the railways where they had been used, with the exception of the GWR who continued to build both mixed\-traffic and express passenger {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}}s until nationalisation in 1948\. The [GWR's 4073 *Castle* Class](/wiki/GWR_4073_Class "GWR 4073 Class") eventually consisted of 171 express passenger locomotives, built between 1923 and 1950\. The design was enlarged as the [GWR's 6000 *King* Class](/wiki/GWR_6000_Class "GWR 6000 Class"), with thirty locomotives built between 1927 and 1930\.
Several new mixed traffic {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0s}} were also introduced:
* The [Southern Railway](/wiki/Southern_Railway_%28UK%29 "Southern Railway (UK)") improved the LSWR's *King Arthur* class and introduced the [*Lord Nelson* class](/wiki/SR_Lord_Nelson_class "SR Lord Nelson class"), which was briefly the most powerful class in Britain. Sixteen locomotives were built between 1926 and 1929\.
* The LMS introduced the [7P *Royal Scot* class](/wiki/LMS_Royal_Scot_Class "LMS Royal Scot Class"), with 71 locomotives built between 1927 and 1930, and the [6P *Patriot* class](/wiki/LMS_Patriot_Class "LMS Patriot Class"), with 52 locomotives built between 1930 and 1934\. All of the *Royal Scots* and 18 of the *Patriots* were subsequently rebuilt in line with Stanier's practice and were very successful in this form.
* The largest and most successful British {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} class was the [LMS Class 5 *Black Five*](/wiki/LMS_Stanier_Class_5_4-6-0 "LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0"), designed by [William Stanier](/wiki/William_Stanier "William Stanier") and consisting of 842 locomotives, built between 1934 and 1951\. Stanier also designed the [LMS 6P *Jubilee* class](/wiki/LMS_Jubilee_Class "LMS Jubilee Class"), with 191 locomotives built between 1934 and 1936\.
[thumb\|right\|GWR *Hall* Class *Olton Hall* hauled the *Hogwarts Express* in the [*Harry Potter* films](/wiki/Harry_Potter_%28film_series%29 "Harry Potter (film series)")](/wiki/File:GWR_%27Hall%27_5972_%27Olton_Hall%27_at_Doncaster_Works.JPG "GWR 'Hall' 5972 'Olton Hall' at Doncaster Works.JPG")
Charles Collett of the GWR developed [Churchward's](/wiki/George_Jackson_Churchward "George Jackson Churchward") 1902 *Saint* class design into three further classes:
* The [GWR 4900 *Hall*](/wiki/GWR_4900_Class "GWR 4900 Class") class, with 259 locomotives built between 1928 and 1943\.
* The [GWR 6800 *Grange*](/wiki/GWR_6800_Class "GWR 6800 Class") class, with eighty locomotives built between 1936 and 1939\.
* The [GWR 7800 *Manor*](/wiki/GWR_7800_Class "GWR 7800 Class") class, with thirty locomotives built between 1938 and 1950\.
[Frederick Hawksworth](/wiki/Frederick_Hawksworth "Frederick Hawksworth") later developed the *Saint* class design further, first with his [GWR 6959 *Modified Hall* Class](/wiki/GWR_6959_Class "GWR 6959 Class"), with 71 locomotives built between 1944 and 1950, and then with his [GWR 1000 *County* Class](/wiki/GWR_1000_Class "GWR 1000 Class"), with thirty locomotives built between 1945 and 1947\.
The LNER inherited large numbers of {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} locomotives from its constituent companies, many of which were subsequently rebuilt, so that the company ultimately had sixty different classes and sub\-classes with this wheel arrangement. In addition, the company also introduced two new {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} classes.
* The [B17 class](/wiki/LNER_Class_B17 "LNER Class B17"), designed by [Nigel Gresley](/wiki/Nigel_Gresley "Nigel Gresley"), of which 73 were built between 1928 and 1937\.
* The [B1 class](/wiki/LNER_Thompson_Class_B1 "LNER Thompson Class B1"), designed by [Edward Thompson](/wiki/Edward_Thompson_%28engineer%29 "Edward Thompson (engineer)"), of which 410 locomotives were built between 1942 and 1952\.*Locomotives of the L.N.E.R. Part 1 Preliminary Survey*, Railway Correspondence and Travel Society, 1963, pp. 105\-7\.

#### British Railways era
Following the formation of [British Railways](/wiki/British_Railways "British Railways") in 1948, two further {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} classes were introduced, both in 1951\.
* The [BR Standard Class 5](/wiki/BR_Standard_Class_5 "BR Standard Class 5") was based on Stanier's successful LMS *Black Five* of 1934\. Altogether 172 locomotives were built by 1957\.
* A lighter and less powerful design was the [BR Standard Class 4](/wiki/BR_Standard_Class_4_4-6-0 "BR Standard Class 4 4-6-0"). Eighty of these were built by 1957\.

### United States
The first {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} locomotive built in the United States was the *Chesapeake*, built by [Norris Locomotive Works](/wiki/Norris_Locomotive_Works "Norris Locomotive Works") for the [Philadelphia and Reading](/wiki/Reading_Company "Reading Company") railroad in March 1847\. There are still conflicting opinions as to who the original designer of this type was. Many authorities attribute the design to [Septimus Norris](/wiki/Septimus_Norris "Septimus Norris") of Norris Locomotive Works, but in an 1885 paper, George E. Sellers attributes the design to John Brandt who worked for the [Erie Railroad](/wiki/Erie_Railroad "Erie Railroad") between 1842 and 1851\.
* According to Sellers, the Erie's own management didn't feel it in their best interests to pursue construction, so Brandt approached [Baldwin Locomotive Works](/wiki/Baldwin_Locomotive_Works "Baldwin Locomotive Works") and Norris with the design. Baldwin was similarly uninterested, but Norris liked the idea. [James Millholland](/wiki/James_Millholland "James Millholland") of the Reading also saw the {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} design and ordered one from Norris for the Reading. However, Sellers may have misinterpreted some of the information since Millholland did not work for the Reading until 1848, a year after the locomotive was built. Furthermore, Sellers refers to the first {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} to be constructed as the *Susquehanna*, which was the Erie railroad's first {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}}, not the Reading's.
* The attribution to Septimus Norris stems from a patent, allegedly filed in 1846, that many sources cite for this locomotive type. However, such a patent has not yet been found in searches at the [United States Patent and Trademark Office](/wiki/United_States_Patent_and_Trademark_Office "United States Patent and Trademark Office") (USPTO). Septimus Norris did file a patent in 1854 for running gears, and the patent application showed a {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} wheel arrangement in the drawing. Norris' wording in the 1854 patent was vague with regard to the {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} wheel arrangement and the filing did not specifically claim invention of the {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} configuration.
[thumb\|right\|A {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} [Camelback locomotive](/wiki/Camelback_locomotive "Camelback locomotive")](/wiki/File:Camelback.jpg "Camelback.jpg")
A few days after William Norris completed the *Chesapeake*, [Hinkley Locomotive Works](/wiki/Hinkley_Locomotive_Works "Hinkley Locomotive Works") completed their first {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} locomotive, the *New Hampshire*, for the [Boston and Maine](/wiki/Boston_and_Maine_Corporation "Boston and Maine Corporation") Railroad. The first {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} from [Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works](/wiki/Rogers_Locomotive_and_Machine_Works "Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works") was the already\-mentioned *Susquehanna* for the Erie Railroad. Baldwin's first {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} locomotive did not appear until 1852\.
Through the 1860s and into the 1870s, demand for locomotives of the {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} wheel arrangement grew as more railroad executives switched from purchasing a single, general\-purpose type of locomotive such as the [4\-4\-0 American](/wiki/4-4-0 "4-4-0") at that time, to purchasing locomotives designed for a specific purpose. Both the [Pennsylvania Railroad](/wiki/Pennsylvania_Railroad "Pennsylvania Railroad") (PRR) and the [Baltimore and Ohio Railroad](/wiki/Baltimore_and_Ohio_Railroad "Baltimore and Ohio Railroad") (B\&O) were early adopters of the {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}}, using them for fast freight as well as heavy passenger trains.

There were also two 3 ft narrow gauge {{nowrap\|4\-6\-0}} steam locomotives, No. 72 (No. 274\) and No. 73 (No. 275\), built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in May 1925 for the [United Railways of Yucatán](/wiki/Ferrocarriles_Unidos_de_Yucat%C3%A1n "Ferrocarriles Unidos de Yucatán") in Mexico, where they operated until being retired in the 1960s and were eventually purchased by Disney imagineers [Roger E.

"The first {{nowrap\\|4\\-6\\-0}} locomotive built in the United States was the *Chesapeake*, built by [Norris Locomotive Works](/wiki/Norris_Locomotive_Works \"Norris Locomotive Works\") for the [Philadelphia and Reading](/wiki/Reading_Company \"Reading Company\") railroad in March 1847\\. There are still conflicting opinions as to who the original designer of this type was. Many authorities attribute the design to [Septimus Norris](/wiki/Septimus_Norris \"Septimus Norris\") of Norris Locomotive Works, but in an 1885 paper, George E. Sellers attributes the design to John Brandt who worked for the [Erie Railroad](/wiki/Erie_Railroad \"Erie Railroad\") between 1842 and 1851\\.\n* According to Sellers, the Erie's own management didn't feel it in their best interests to pursue construction, so Brandt approached [Baldwin Locomotive Works](/wiki/Baldwin_Locomotive_Works \"Baldwin Locomotive Works\") and Norris with the design. Baldwin was similarly uninterested, but Norris liked the idea. [James Millholland](/wiki/James_Millholland \"James Millholland\") of the Reading also saw the {{nowrap\\|4\\-6\\-0}} design and ordered one from Norris for the Reading. However, Sellers may have misinterpreted some of the information since Millholland did not work for the Reading until 1848, a year after the locomotive was built. Furthermore, Sellers refers to the first {{nowrap\\|4\\-6\\-0}} to be constructed as the *Susquehanna*, which was the Erie railroad's first {{nowrap\\|4\\-6\\-0}}, not the Reading's.\n* The attribution to Septimus Norris stems from a patent, allegedly filed in 1846, that many sources cite for this locomotive type. However, such a patent has not yet been found in searches at the [United States Patent and Trademark Office](/wiki/United_States_Patent_and_Trademark_Office \"United States Patent and Trademark Office\") (USPTO). Septimus Norris did file a patent in 1854 for running gears, and the patent application showed a {{nowrap\\|4\\-6\\-0}} wheel arrangement in the drawing. Norris' wording in the 1854 patent was vague with regard to the {{nowrap\\|4\\-6\\-0}} wheel arrangement and the filing did not specifically claim invention of the {{nowrap\\|4\\-6\\-0}} configuration.",

The first {{nowrap\\|4\\-6\\-0}} from [Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works](/wiki/Rogers_Locomotive_and_Machine_Works \"Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works\") was the already\\-mentioned *Susquehanna* for the Erie Railroad. Baldwin's first {{nowrap\\|4\\-6\\-0}} locomotive did not appear until 1852\\.",
"Through the 1860s and into the 1870s, demand for locomotives of the {{nowrap\\|4\\-6\\-0}} wheel arrangement grew as more railroad executives switched from purchasing a single, general\\-purpose type of locomotive such as the [4\\-4\\-0 American](/wiki/4-4-0 \"4-4-0\") at that time, to purchasing locomotives designed for a specific purpose. Both the [Pennsylvania Railroad](/wiki/Pennsylvania_Railroad \"Pennsylvania Railroad\") (PRR) and the [Baltimore and Ohio Railroad](/wiki/Baltimore_and_Ohio_Railroad \"Baltimore and Ohio Railroad\") (B\\&O) were early adopters of the {{nowrap\\|4\\-6\\-0}}, using them for fast freight as well as heavy passenger trains.",

{{main\|History of St. Mary's Church (Dedham, Massachusetts)}}
### Early history
The history of Catholicism in Dedham begins in 1758, only 120 years after the settlement of the [Contentment Plantation](/wiki/History_of_Dedham%2C_Massachusetts%2C_1635%E2%80%931699 "History of Dedham, Massachusetts, 1635–1699") and fully two decades before the American Revolution. During the [French and Indian War](/wiki/French_and_Indian_War "French and Indian War") the British expelled over 11,000 [Acadians](/wiki/Acadians "Acadians") from what is today [Nova Scotia](/wiki/Nova_Scotia "Nova Scotia").{{sfn\|Smith\|1936\|p\=100}} Eleven of them resettled in Dedham, and though the town and the Massachusetts Bay colony were both officially Congregationalist, they were allowed to reside here as French neutrals until they returned to Canada in 1760\.{{sfn\|Smith\|1936\|p\=100}}
After the Acadians returned to Canada in 1760, Dedham would not see another Catholic resident for decades. The first Catholic who spent any length of time in Dedham was Mr. Gill, who lived in what is today known as Riverdale, but was then called Dedham Island. The few Catholics who lived in Dedham would have to travel 16 miles to [St. Joseph's](/wiki/St._Joseph_Catholic_Church_%28Roxbury%2C_Massachusetts%29 "St. Joseph Catholic Church (Roxbury, Massachusetts)") in [Roxbury](/wiki/Roxbury%2C_Boston "Roxbury, Boston"), the [Cathedral of the Holy Cross](/wiki/Cathedral_of_the_Holy_Cross_%28Boston%29 "Cathedral of the Holy Cross (Boston)") on Franklin Street in Boston, or to St. Mary's in Waltham to attend Mass.{{sfn\|Smith\|1936\|p\=100}}{{sfn\|Byrne\|Leahy\|Dowling\|Young\|1899\|pp\=323\-4}}
By the early 1800s a few Catholics had settled in Dedham. The first Mass in Dedham was celebrated in Sunday, May 15, 1843, in the home of [Daniel Slattery](/wiki/Daniel_Slattery "Daniel Slattery"), with eight Catholics present.{{sfn\|Byrne\|Leahy\|Dowling\|Young\|1899\|p\=324}}{{sfn\|Smith\|1936\|p\=100}}{{refn\|group\=nb\|While the Slattery home is still standing, at the corner of Washington and Worthington Streets, at the time it was on the corner of Washington and High, where the Police Station sits in 2016\. During the Revolution, the Worthington Street land was the site of an encampment for French troops under the command of Count Rochambeau.}} An altar was set up by the window. For the next three years Slattery's 17\-year\-old brother\-in\-law would bring Father James Strain from Waltham and back each Sunday to minister to the needs of the small congregation.{{sfn\|Byrne\|Leahy\|Dowling\|Young\|1899\|p\=324}}{{refn\|group\=nb\|Father Strain was born in Ireland in 1815, and was received into the Diocese of Boston in 1840\. He had a rather tumultuous career here, and bounced around not only from parish to parish, but even to several other dioceses, before eventually returning to Ireland in 1850\.}}
By 1846, the Catholic community in Dedham was well established enough that the town became part of the mission of St. Joseph's Church in Roxbury. The flood of Irish immigrants escaping the [Great Famine](/wiki/Great_Famine_%28Ireland%29 "Great Famine (Ireland)") necessitated holding Mass in the [Temperance Hall](/wiki/Temperance_Hall_%28Dedham%2C_Massachusetts%29 "Temperance Hall (Dedham, Massachusetts)"), often by Father [Patrick O'Beirne](/wiki/Patrick_O%27Beirne "Patrick O'Beirne").{{sfn\|Byrne\|Leahy\|Dowling\|Young\|1899\|p\=323}}{{sfn\|Hurd\|1884\|p\=78}} Mass was also occasionally celebrated in the Crystal Palace on Washington Street.{{sfn\|Smith\|1936\|p\=100}} Worshipers came from Dedham, [South Dedham](/wiki/Norwood%2C_Massachusetts "Norwood, Massachusetts"), [West Dedham](/wiki/Westwood%2C_Massachusetts "Westwood, Massachusetts"), and [West Roxbury](/wiki/West_Roxbury "West Roxbury").{{sfn\|Smith\|1936\|p\=100}}

The number and devotion of the first parishioners permitted a church to be constructed within 10 years.{{sfn\|Smith\|1936\|p\=101}} In 1856 the cornerstone was laid and, in 1857, the first St. Mary's Church was completed on Washington Street between Spruce and Marion Streets.{{sfn\|Smith\|1936\|p\=101}} On Easter Sunday, April 12, 1857, Father O'Beirne said Mass for the first time in a new church that could seat 600\.{{sfn\|Byrne\|Leahy\|Dowling\|Young\|1899\|p\=323}}{{sfn\|Smith\|1936\|p\=101}}{{sfn\|Hurd\|1884\|p\=323}}{{refn\|group\=nb\|One source says it was Christmas Day.}}
During the 1880s, Father Johnson was publicly raising the issue of discrimination against Catholics in the public schools. In 1885, as a member of the School Committee,{{refn\|group\=nb\|Johnson served two terms, from 1884 to 1890\.}} he claimed the principal of the Avery School ridiculed Catholic students, and several years later had a lengthy debate with a Protestant minister via letters in the Dedham Standard about the "rank misrepresentation of the Catholic Church" in a history book adopted by the School Committee.{{sfn\|Johnson\|Cooke\|1889\|p\=18}}
In 1890 there were an estimated 2,000 parishioners, including 957 Irish, 250 English\-speaking Canadians, 58 French, 19 Italians and 1 Portuguese.{{sfn\|Byrne\|Leahy\|Dowling\|Young\|1899\|p\=324}} There were 400 students in the Sunday School classes in 1884\.{{sfn\|Hurd\|1884\|p\=79}}
### Church construction
In February 1880, it was announced that a Protestant who had business in Boston had paid off the parish's $700 debt, allowing the congregation to commence work on a new building. The cornerstone of the present church was laid at 3:00 on October 17, 1880 by [Archbishop John Williams](/wiki/John_Joseph_Williams "John Joseph Williams"). A crowd of between 4,000 and 5,000 people attended, and special trains were run from Boston and Norwood to accommodate all those who wished to attend. It was one of the largest gatherings in Dedham's history.
The footprint of the [Gothic church](/wiki/Gothic_architecture "Gothic architecture"), which Father Johnson said was to be a "cathedral in the wilderness," measures 150' long by 65' wide, and the bell tower is 164' tall.{{sfn\|Hurd\|1884\|p\=79}} The apex of the ceiling is 80' and it has the longest aisle in the Archdiocese of Boston. It was at the time, and remains today, "the largest and most imposing church in the town"{{sfn\|Hurd\|1884\|p\=79}} and "one of the most conspicuous edifices" in the town.
The interior walls were plastered by [William B. Gould](/wiki/William_B._Gould "William B. Gould"), an escaped slave who settled in Dedham. While the upper church was still under construction, the lower church was used for Mass and the upper portion for various fairs and other gatherings. The first mass was said in the lower church on October 24, 1886\. The crowd was overflowing, and included 20 Protestants, many of local importance, and a choir from St. Peter's in South Boston.
After 20 years of working, praying, and fundraising from the meager immigrant wages of many of the parishioners, the Upper Church was finally completed. It took so long that another architect had to take over but was, Father Fleming said, “almost too beautiful for ordinary use.”
The upper church was completed and dedicated by Archbishop Williams on September 9, 1900\. In addition to Williams, Archbishop [Sebastiano Martinelli](/wiki/Sebastiano_Martinelli "Sebastiano Martinelli"), the papal delegate to the United States, attended, as did Bishop [Denis Mary Bradley](/wiki/Denis_Mary_Bradley "Denis Mary Bradley") of New Hampshire. The crowd, numbered at 1,200, included the communion class and many prominent citizens of the Town, including Protestants. The dedication packed the church, requiring many to stand, and tickets were required to enter.
Albert Nickerson, a member of Dedham's St. Paul's Episcopal Church, donated $10,000 towards the effort.{{sfn\|Byrne\|Leahy\|Dowling\|Young\|1899\|p\=323}}{{refn\|group\=nb\|Nickerson was the wealthiest man in Dedham at the time of his death. He was a philanthropist, and donated to several causes in Dedham, including other churches.}} The [Dedham Granite](/wiki/Dedham_Granite "Dedham Granite") for the outer walls was donated by another Protestant, John Bullard.{{sfn\|Byrne\|Leahy\|Dowling\|Young\|1899\|p\=323}} The granite came from Bullard's own lot.
### 20th century
In June 1890, Father John H. Fleming arrived at St. Mary's and began a 33\-year tenure as pastor. During his pastorate the parish the upper church would be completed, the parish cemetery in West Roxbury would be purchased, and the old wooden rectory next to the church would be torn down so a new rectory could be built{{sfn\|Smith\|1936\|p\=101}} of Dedham Granite{{sfn\|Parr\|2009\|p\=19}} in 1913\.{{refn\|group\=nb\|Parr has the date as 1915\.{{sfn\|Parr\|2009\|p\=19}}}} On Sundays, however, the quality of his preaching was such that other priests would come to St. Mary's to listen.
In the 1920s, with the building work completed, new pastor Father [Henry A. Walsh](/wiki/Henry_A._Walsh "Henry A. Walsh") was able to focus on the various groups and societies within the parish. The Catholic population in the area grew, as did the amount of social activity within the parish. By 1936, the parish was one of the largest in the Archdiocese of Boston with 6,000 parishioners, four priests, and six nuns.{{sfn\|Smith\|1936\|p\=102}} The Sunday School alone had over 1,300 pupils.{{sfn\|Smith\|1936\|p\=102}} Within months of arriving as pastor in 1929, Father George P. O'Connor began a parish school with three Sisters of St. Joseph. He also began a [Catholic Youth Organization](/wiki/Catholic_Youth_Organization "Catholic Youth Organization"), and was generally regarded as having a focus on youth.
### Modern history
In the 1960s, St. Mary's remained one of the largest parishes in the archdiocese. As it was too much work for one pastor and three assistant priests, a second parish was established for the Riverdale neighborhood, [St. Susana's](/wiki/St._Susanna_Church_%28Dedham%2C_Massachusetts%29 "St. Susanna Church (Dedham, Massachusetts)"), in 1962\. As the school was also growing, a new convent was constructed in 1964\.
The number of people attending Mass each week began to drop off rather dramatically in the early 1990s. In 1989, the average weekly attendance was 2,843 people. By 1995, however, it dropped to just 1,030\. The following year, 1996, Father (later bishop) [John Anthony Dooher](/wiki/John_Anthony_Dooher "John Anthony Dooher") and Father Chris Hickey arrived at St. Mary's within weeks of each other. Mass attendance increased by 50% that year alone, and in 1997 it was over 2,500\. In September 1997, Hickey and youth minister Seán Flynn began a [Life Teen](/wiki/Life_Teen "Life Teen") program to minister to high school students.

"### Early history",
"The history of Catholicism in Dedham begins in 1758, only 120 years after the settlement of the [Contentment Plantation](/wiki/History_of_Dedham%2C_Massachusetts%2C_1635%E2%80%931699 \"History of Dedham, Massachusetts, 1635–1699\") and fully two decades before the American Revolution. During the [French and Indian War](/wiki/French_and_Indian_War \"French and Indian War\") the British expelled over 11,000 [Acadians](/wiki/Acadians \"Acadians\") from what is today [Nova Scotia](/wiki/Nova_Scotia \"Nova Scotia\").{{sfn\\|Smith\\|1936\\|p\\=100}} Eleven of them resettled in Dedham, and though the town and the Massachusetts Bay colony were both officially Congregationalist, they were allowed to reside here as French neutrals until they returned to Canada in 1760\\.{{sfn\\|Smith\\|1936\\|p\\=100}}",
"After the Acadians returned to Canada in 1760, Dedham would not see another Catholic resident for decades. The first Catholic who spent any length of time in Dedham was Mr. Gill, who lived in what is today known as Riverdale, but was then called Dedham Island. The few Catholics who lived in Dedham would have to travel 16 miles to [St. Joseph's](/wiki/St._Joseph_Catholic_Church_%28Roxbury%2C_Massachusetts%29 \"St. Joseph Catholic Church (Roxbury, Massachusetts)\") in [Roxbury](/wiki/Roxbury%2C_Boston \"Roxbury, Boston\"), the [Cathedral of the Holy Cross](/wiki/Cathedral_of_the_Holy_Cross_%28Boston%29 \"Cathedral of the Holy Cross (Boston)\") on Franklin Street in Boston, or to St. Mary's in Waltham to attend Mass.{{sfn\\|Smith\\|1936\\|p\\=100}}{{sfn\\|Byrne\\|Leahy\\|Dowling\\|Young\\|1899\\|pp\\=323\\-4}}",
"By the early 1800s a few Catholics had settled in Dedham.

In 2006, the parish served 2,329 families, and in 2015 it sponsored 38 ministries in six categories: prayer, liturgical, social, outreach, health and wellness, and parishioner sponsored.
### Life Teen
One of the largest ministries in St. Mary's today in its Life Teen program, which ministers to high school aged youth. It was founded in September 1997 by Fr. Chris Hickey, then\-pastor John Dooher, and youth minister Seán Flynn.
The teens' "enthusiasm for church has brought a special vibrancy" to the parish. A Life Teen mass is offered on Sunday evenings and features a live band, and is then followed by social and catechitical sessions known as Life Nights. Participants have their own prayer night, perform community service, and gather to socialize in their clubhouse.
### Convent and parish office
Behind the church on Avery Street is the Parish Office. It was previously a convent that housed the nuns who taught in the parish school. The stained glass windows in the building were done by Chartrand.
### Cemetery
In 1880, the Town of Dedham set aside a portion of [Brookdale Cemetery](/wiki/Brookdale_Cemetery "Brookdale Cemetery"), just a block away from St. Mary's, for Catholics to be buried. Under the pastorate of Fr. John H. Fleming (1890–1923\), the parish purchased its own cemetery just over the border in West Roxbury. It still operates the cemetery on Grove Street today.
### 150th anniversary
In 2016 the parish celebrated its 150th anniversary with a year long celebration. Included in this was a mass on October 2 celebrated by Cardinal [Seán Patrick O'Malley](/wiki/Se%C3%A1n_Patrick_O%27Malley "Seán Patrick O'Malley"). Other events included a healing mass and an organ concert.
### Vocations
Two LifeTeen alumni, Will Sexton and Mike Zimmerman, were ordained priests. Sexton and Zimmerman were both teens in the program, and were ordained alongside Kevin Leaver, who was a CORE member. Together the three made up 50% of those being ordained at the [Cathedral of the Holy Cross](/wiki/Cathedral_of_the_Holy_Cross_%28Boston%29 "Cathedral of the Holy Cross (Boston)") in 2017\. As of 2017, two other alumni and one former CORE member are seminarians for the Archdiocese of Boston, and one alumnus joined the [Carmelites](/wiki/Carmelites "Carmelites"). From 2003 to 2018, the parish sent 15 men to the seminary.

### Pre\-season
In [1925](/wiki/1925_Michigan_Wolverines_football_team "1925 Michigan Wolverines football team") and [1926](/wiki/1926_Michigan_Wolverines_football_team "1926 Michigan Wolverines football team"), Michigan had featured quarterback [Benny Friedman](/wiki/Benny_Friedman "Benny Friedman") and end [Bennie Oosterbaan](/wiki/Bennie_Oosterbaan "Bennie Oosterbaan"), both consensus All\-Americans who were sometimes known as "The Benny\-to\-Bennie Show." Oosterbaan returned for his senior year in 1927, but Friedman was lost to graduation. The 1927 Wolverines also lost back [Bo Molenda](/wiki/Bo_Molenda "Bo Molenda") who went on to play nine seasons in the [National Football League](/wiki/National_Football_League "National Football League").
In addition to roster changes, the months before the opening of Michigan's 1927 season featured two important developments: the construction of [Michigan Stadium](/wiki/Michigan_Stadium "Michigan Stadium") and the resignation of [Fielding H. Yost](/wiki/Fielding_H._Yost "Fielding H. Yost") as head football coach.
The construction of Michigan Stadium began in September 1926 with excavation of the site. The excavation was complicated by the presence of underground springs and was not completed until April 1927\. Construction of the stadium itself began in May 1927 with the pouring of concrete. Between May 9 and September 1, 1927, more than 11,000 yards of concrete were poured along with installation of 440 tons of reinforcing steel and 31,000 square feet of wire mesh. The installation of seats and the playing field began in June 1927\. With athletic director Yost supervising every step in the process, the stadium was reportedly completed "on time and within budget," with the cost of construction totaling $1,131,733\.36\.{{cite web\|title\=The Michigan Stadium Story: Building the Big House\|publisher\=University of Michigan, Bentley Historical Library\|access\-date\=May 7, 2015\|url\=https://bentley.umich.edu/athdept/stadium/stadtext/stadbild.htm}}
On September 15, 1927, with construction of the new stadium in its final phase, Yost at age 56 announced his resignation as Michigan's head football coach. [Tad Wieman](/wiki/Tad_Wieman "Tad Wieman") was named as the team's new head coach. Wieman had played for Yost from 1916 to 1917 and, after military service, in 1920\. He had been an assistant coach at Michigan for several years. Yost cited his ongoing responsibilities as the school's athletic director, including construction of the new football stadium and a new intramural building, as the reason for his resignation.{{cite news\|title\=Yost Ends Reign as Michigan Coach: Announces Retirement as Mentor of Football Team, Effective for This Season; Wieman to Take Helm\|newspaper\=The New York Times\|date\=September 16, 1927\|url\=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1927/09/16/117995976\.pdf}}{{cite news\|title\=Yost Retires as Grid Coach at Michigan\|newspaper\=Chicago Tribune\|date\=September 16, 1927\|page\=19\|url\=http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1927/09/16/page/19/article/yost\-retires\-as\-grid\-coach\-at\-michigan}}

On October 22, 1927, Michigan defeated Ohio State 21–0 in the official dedication game for [Michigan Stadium](/wiki/Michigan_Stadium "Michigan Stadium"). Before the game began, the Governors of Michigan ([Fred W. Green](/wiki/Fred_W._Green "Fred W. Green")) and Ohio ([A. Victor Donahey](/wiki/A._Victor_Donahey "A. Victor Donahey")) and other dignitaries followed the two university bands onto the field for the playing of "[The Star\-Spangled Banner](/wiki/The_Star-Spangled_Banner "The Star-Spangled Banner")". *The Michigan Alumnus* reported that the game was played before a crowd of 85,000 spectators and described the day as follows: "As a football spectacle, of course, it wholly surpassed anything in Michigan history. Ann Arbor flung open its gates to a horde of visitors nearly triple the size of its own population\-and the new stadium swallowed them by two o'clock in the afternoon."{{cite news\|title\=Stadium Dedicated With 21\-0 Victory: Michigan Air Attack Humbles Ohio State Before Monster Crowd\|newspaper\=The Michigan Alumnus\|date\=October 1927\|url\=https://bentley.umich.edu/athdept/stadium/stadtext/aaosu27\.htm}} Planes flew overhead throughout the game, prompting the *[Detroit Free Press](/wiki/Detroit_Free_Press "Detroit Free Press")* to declare: "It is about time an end is put to this practice of free lance air men of picking courses over crowded areas.

All three Michigan touchdowns were scored on passes from left end [Bennie Oosterbaan](/wiki/Bennie_Oosterbaan "Bennie Oosterbaan") to left halfback [Louis Gilbert](/wiki/Louis_Gilbert "Louis Gilbert"). Gilbert also kicked all three points after touchdown, claiming responsibility for all of Michigan's 21 points.

Before the opera begins: Years earlier, Marta, the daughter of a strolling player, had been induced to live with Sebastiano, a wealthy landowner in exchange for the gift of a mill to her father. Sebastiano is about to marry a wealthy heiress. In order to keep his mistress, Marta, nearby and continue their affair, he plans to have her marry Pedro (in Güimerà's original play, his name is Manelic), one of his shepherds.
**Prologue**
The [Pyrenees](/wiki/Pyrenees "Pyrenees") Mountains. Pedro meets Nando, and tells him that he has dreamed of meeting a beautiful woman who will be his wife. Sebastiano, accompanied by Tommaso, brings Marta to Pedro and informs him that he must come down to the Lowlands to marry her and to become the miller. Marta is reluctant to even look at Pedro.
**Act 1**
The interior of the village mill. Moruccio and the servants gossip about Marta, the girls hinting that Moruccio hoped to marry Marta himself. Nuri reveals that Marta is to be married to a shepherd and reveals that she has overheard a conversation between Sebastiano and Marta which she did not understand, but which the others clearly comprehend reveals their relationship. Pedro arrives at the mill, where his marriage is to take place. Not knowing that Marta is actually Sebastiano's mistress, he is puzzled as to why the villagers are making fun of him. Moruccio reveals the background to Tommaso, who is angered and seeks to confront Sebastiano. The confrontation in which Tomasso is backed by Moruccio leads to Moruccio's dismissal. After the wedding, Marta, who fears that Sebastiano will carry out his intention of coming to her that night, does not go to her chamber nor accompanies Pedro, which puzzles him even more.
**Act 2**
The interior of the village mill. Marta is now beginning to fall in love with Pedro. However, unable to stand the teasing and persecution of the villagers, he tells her he is going back to the mountains. She begs him to take her with him and tells him the truth about her and Sebastiano. In a jealous rage, Pedro advances towards her with a knife, but, overcome by remorse and his love for her, decides to take her with him. Sebastiano enters with the villagers and makes advances to Marta. Pedro furiously objects and is dragged outside.
**Act 3**
The interior of the village mill. Sebastiano has been rejected by the heiress whom he had hoped to marry and again makes advances to Marta. She calls Pedro for help. He rushes at Sebastiano with a knife, but seeing that he is unarmed, throws the knife down and strangles him. Carrying Marta in his arms, Pedro exclaims to the villagers: "Far up, far up in the mountains! To sunshine and freedom and light." He and Marta escape to the mountains.

### 1986\-1987: DZAF
DWDD was established on July 10, 1986, as **DZAF** under the Ministry Order Number a\-092\. It began broadcasting on September 1, 1986, with 10 kW power from the Top Floor of the former 6th Brigade Headquarters. Despite its success, in August 1987, DZAF ceased its operations due to the exploitation by certain sectors in the military.
### 1988\-present: DWDD
The station revived on January 4, 1988, under the call sign DWDD *"Ang Kabalikat Radyo"* with a meager 1 kW power. On August 1, 1991, it was placed under the operational control of the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Civil Military Operations, J7, Armed Forces of the Philippines. On July 1, 1994, Civil Relations Service, AFP took over the administrative and operational control of the station, months after [DZCA](/wiki/DZCA "DZCA") closed shop.
Following the donation of 5 units 10 kW AM Radio transmitters from the Taiwan Ministry of National Defence in April 1993, DWDD was able to operate with a 10\-kW power upon the successful installation of one of the main transmitting equipment.
Around October 2009, it ceased its operations again to upgrade its transmission facilities. In January 2010, it was launched once again.
In 2014, DWDD started carrying the **Ka\-Tropa Radio** branding and later in 2020 was rebranded **AFP Radio**.
DWDD supports national goals and helps accomplish DND and AFP missions by serving as an effective medium of information for its military and civilian personnel and the general public, not just thru radio, but also on social media, with livestreams on its official FB page.

Civil War service
-----------------
Soon after the start of the Civil War, Dunham assisted with the recruitment of a [company](/wiki/Company_%28military_unit%29 "Company (military unit)") of [infantry](/wiki/Infantry_in_the_American_Civil_War "Infantry in the American Civil War") in Boston. Although he first enlisted as a private, Dunham was almost immediately promoted to [corporal](/wiki/Corporal "Corporal") on May 8, 1861\. In June 1861, his company became Company F of the [11th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry](/wiki/11th_Regiment_Massachusetts_Volunteer_Infantry "11th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry"). The [regiment](/wiki/Regiment "Regiment") departed for [Washington, D.C.](/wiki/Washington%2C_D.C. "Washington, D.C."), on June 29, 1861\.Bowen, 208\.
Arriving at Washington on July 3, the 11th Massachusetts became part of the First Brigade, Third Division of [Brigadier General](/wiki/Brigadier_General_%28United_States%29 "Brigadier General (United States)") [Irvin McDowell's](/wiki/Irvin_McDowell "Irvin McDowell") army. On July 21, 1861, the 11th Massachusetts took part in the [First Battle of Bull Run](/wiki/First_Battle_of_Bull_Run "First Battle of Bull Run"), the first major land battle of the Civil War. During the engagement, which resulted in the full retreat of the Union army, the 11th Massachusetts suffered relatively minor casualties and primarily acted in support of [Rickett's](/wiki/R._Bruce_Ricketts "R. Bruce Ricketts") [artillery battery](/wiki/Artillery_battery "Artillery battery").Bowen, 209\. During Bull Run, Dunham was given a [Battlefield promotion](/wiki/Battlefield_promotion "Battlefield promotion") to [sergeant](/wiki/Sergeant "Sergeant").
Dunham spent the winter of 1861 to 1862 encamped with the 11th Massachusetts near Washington while the Union army trained and prepared for the [Peninsular Campaign](/wiki/Peninsular_Campaign "Peninsular Campaign"). At the start of the campaign, the regiment was engaged in the [Battle of Williamsburg](/wiki/Battle_of_Williamsburg "Battle of Williamsburg") on May 5, 1862, taking serious casualties.Schouler, 296\. For their conduct during the battle, the Governor [John Andrew](/wiki/John_Albion_Andrew "John Albion Andrew") of [Massachusetts](/wiki/Massachusetts "Massachusetts") awarded the unit a new regimental battle flag.Headley, 209\. During the remainder of the Peninsular campaign, the 11th Massachusetts was primarily engaged in [picket](/wiki/Picket_%28military%29 "Picket (military)") duty. They played a minor role in the [Seven Days Battles](/wiki/Seven_Days_Battles "Seven Days Battles") being engaged in the Battles of [Savage's Station](/wiki/Battle_of_Savage%27s_Station "Battle of Savage's Station") and [Malvern Hill](/wiki/Battle_of_Malvern_Hill "Battle of Malvern Hill").
[thumb\|left\|alt\=A colored lithograph of a Civil War battle scene in which a group of soldiers in blue uniforms, one of them carrying an American flag, are charging through a group of soldiers in grey who are retreating\|Union forces temporarily break through the Confederate lines during the Second Battle of Bull RunAfter](/wiki/File:Second_Battle_of_Bull_Run.jpg "Second Battle of Bull Run.jpg") the failure of the Peninsular Campaign, the 11th Massachusetts next saw combat during the [Second Battle of Bull Run](/wiki/Second_Battle_of_Bull_Run "Second Battle of Bull Run") on August 28, 1862\. As part of [Brigadier General](/wiki/Brigadier_general_%28United_States%29 "Brigadier general (United States)") [Cuvier Grover](/wiki/Cuvier_Grover "Cuvier Grover")'s brigade (Second Brigade, Third Division of the [III Corps](/wiki/III_Corps_%28Union_Army%29 "III Corps (Union Army)")), the 11th Massachusetts led its brigade in a charge on the entrenched position of the [Confederates](/wiki/Confederate_States_Army "Confederate States Army") along an unfinished railroad bed. After fierce hand\-to\-hand combat, the charge of Grover's brigade broke through the enemy position. As [Colonel](/wiki/Colonel_%28United_States%29 "Colonel (United States)") [William E. Blaisdell](/wiki/William_E._Blaisdell "William E. Blaisdell"), commanding officer of the 11th Massachusetts, wrote, "The enemy broke in confusion and ran, numbers throwing away their muskets."Hennessy, 249\. Historians, including John J. Hennessy, have claimed that the breakthrough of Grover's brigade might have resulted in a Union victory if the breach had been exploited and reinforced.Hennessy, 252\. However, Union reinforcements did not arrive, Grover's brigade were surrounded and forced to retreat back over the unfinished railroad, suffering severe casualties. 40 percent of the 11th Massachusetts were killed, wounded, or captured.Bowen, 211\. During this action, Dunham was again promoted, this time to [first sergeant](/wiki/First_Sergeant%23United_States_Army "First Sergeant#United States Army").
The 11th Massachusetts was present for but did not take part in the [Battle of Fredericksburg](/wiki/Battle_of_Fredericksburg "Battle of Fredericksburg"). After this battle, the regiment went into winter camp with the rest of the [Army of the Potomac](/wiki/Army_of_the_Potomac "Army of the Potomac") in the vicinity of [Falmouth, Virginia](/wiki/Falmouth%2C_Virginia "Falmouth, Virginia"). While in winter camp, Dunham was promoted to [sergeant major](/wiki/Sergeant_major%23United_States_Army "Sergeant major#United States Army") on February 5, 1863 and then, on the next day, he received a [commission](/wiki/Officer_%28armed_forces%29 "Officer (armed forces)") as a [second lieutenant](/wiki/Second_Lieutenant%23United_States "Second Lieutenant#United States"). Dunham's regiment was heavily engaged during the [Battle of Chancellorsville](/wiki/Battle_of_Chancellorsville "Battle of Chancellorsville") on May 2, 1863\. At Chancellorsville, Dunham was seriously wounded. He recovered and was promoted to [first lieutenant](/wiki/First_Lieutenant%23United_States "First Lieutenant#United States"). Dunham was again seriously wounded during the [Battle of the Wilderness](/wiki/Battle_of_the_Wilderness "Battle of the Wilderness") on May 6, 1864\.
Dunham was promoted to [captain](/wiki/Captain_%28U.S._Army%29 "Captain (U.S. Army)") and the command of Company F of the 11th Massachusetts in June 1864, however, due to the severity of his wound, he was forced to accept an administrative position as [assistant adjutant general](/wiki/Adjutant%23Adjutant_General "Adjutant#Adjutant General") of the Third Brigade, Second Division of the [II Corps](/wiki/II_Corps_%28Union_Army%29 "II Corps (Union Army)"). In this capacity he played a key role in assisting Col. [Thomas Alfred Smyth](/wiki/Thomas_Alfred_Smyth "Thomas Alfred Smyth") who commanded the brigade.
In October 1864, Dunham returned to his former regiment and was promoted to the command of the 11th Massachusetts. After more than three years of duty, the unit was but a small fraction of its original size and therefore Dunham was not immediately promoted to colonel (as most regimental commanders were). In January 1865, he was promoted to [major](/wiki/Major_%28United_States%29 "Major (United States)"). He was recognized for his service during the [Siege of Petersburg](/wiki/Siege_of_Petersburg "Siege of Petersburg") with a promotion to [colonel](/wiki/Colonel_%28United_States%29 "Colonel (United States)"). Dunham mustered out of the army on July 14, 1865, after more than four years of service. On March 29, 1867, [President](/wiki/President_of_the_United_States "President of the United States") [Andrew Johnson](/wiki/Andrew_Johnson "Andrew Johnson") nominated Dunham for the award of the honorary grade of [brevet](/wiki/Brevet_%28military%29 "Brevet (military)") [brigadier general](/wiki/Brigadier_general_%28United_States%29 "Brigadier general (United States)"), to rank from March 13, 1865, and the [U.S. Senate](/wiki/U.S._Senate "U.S. Senate") confirmed the award on April 5, 1867\.Eicher, 744

At Chancellorsville, Dunham was seriously wounded. He recovered and was promoted to [first lieutenant](/wiki/First_Lieutenant%23United_States \"First Lieutenant#United States\"). Dunham was again seriously wounded during the [Battle of the Wilderness](/wiki/Battle_of_the_Wilderness \"Battle of the Wilderness\") on May 6, 1864\\.",
"Dunham was promoted to [captain](/wiki/Captain_%28U.S._Army%29 \"Captain (U.S. Army)\") and the command of Company F of the 11th Massachusetts in June 1864, however, due to the severity of his wound, he was forced to accept an administrative position as [assistant adjutant general](/wiki/Adjutant%23Adjutant_General \"Adjutant#Adjutant General\") of the Third Brigade, Second Division of the [II Corps](/wiki/II_Corps_%28Union_Army%29 \"II Corps (Union Army)\"). In this capacity he played a key role in assisting Col. [Thomas Alfred Smyth](/wiki/Thomas_Alfred_Smyth \"Thomas Alfred Smyth\") who commanded the brigade.",
"In October 1864, Dunham returned to his former regiment and was promoted to the command of the 11th Massachusetts. After more than three years of duty, the unit was but a small fraction of its original size and therefore Dunham was not immediately promoted to colonel (as most regimental commanders were). In January 1865, he was promoted to [major](/wiki/Major_%28United_States%29 \"Major (United States)\"). He was recognized for his service during the [Siege of Petersburg](/wiki/Siege_of_Petersburg \"Siege of Petersburg\") with a promotion to [colonel](/wiki/Colonel_%28United_States%29 \"Colonel (United States)\"). Dunham mustered out of the army on July 14, 1865, after more than four years of service. On March 29, 1867, [President](/wiki/President_of_the_United_States \"President of the United States\") [Andrew Johnson](/wiki/Andrew_Johnson \"Andrew Johnson\") nominated Dunham for the award of the honorary grade of [brevet](/wiki/Brevet_%28military%29 \"Brevet (military)\") [brigadier general](/wiki/Brigadier_general_%28United_States%29 \"Brigadier general (United States)\"), to rank from March 13, 1865, and the [U.S. Senate](/wiki/U.S._Senate \"U.S. Senate\") confirmed the award on April 5, 1867\\.Eicher, 744",

On July 12, the [Democratic National Convention](/wiki/1948_Democratic_National_Convention "1948 Democratic National Convention") convened in Philadelphia in the [same arena](/wiki/Philadelphia_Convention_Hall_and_Civic_Center "Philadelphia Convention Hall and Civic Center") where the Republicans had met a few weeks earlier. Spirits were low; the Republicans had taken control of both houses of the [United States Congress](/wiki/United_States_Congress "United States Congress") and a majority of state governorships during the 1946 mid\-term elections, and the public opinion polls showed Truman trailing Republican nominee Dewey, sometimes by double digits. Furthermore, some liberal Democrats had joined [Henry A. Wallace](/wiki/Henry_A._Wallace "Henry A. Wallace")'s new Progressive Party, and party leaders feared that Wallace would take enough votes from Truman to give the large Northern and Midwestern states to the Republicans. Conservatives dominated the party in the South, and they were angered by the growing voice of labor unions and black voters in the party outside the South. The hope that Truman would reverse course faded when he vetoed the [Taft\-Hartley Law](/wiki/Taft-Hartley_Law "Taft-Hartley Law"), which sought to reduce the power of labor unions. Congress voted to override Truman's veto, and the [Taft\-Hartley Law](/wiki/Taft-Hartley_Law "Taft-Hartley Law") went into effect on June 23, 1947\. Finally, Truman's appointment of a liberal [civil rights](/wiki/Civil_rights_movement "Civil rights movement") commission convinced Southern conservatives that to re\-establish their voice they had to threaten [third\-party](/wiki/Third_party_%28United_States%29 "Third party (United States)") action to defeat Truman in 1948\.Robert A. Garson, "The Alienation of the South: A Crisis for Harry S. Truman and the Democratic Party, 1945\-1948", *Missouri Historical Review*, (July 1970\) 64\#4 pp. 448–471
[Alexander F. Whitney](/wiki/Alexander_F._Whitney "Alexander F. Whitney"), who was previously critical of Truman and threatened to finance a third\-party campaign, praised him after Truman vetoed the Taft–Hartley Act and stated that the veto "vindicated him in the eyes of labor". Whitney and [Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen](/wiki/Brotherhood_of_Railroad_Trainmen "Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen") had been supporters of Wallace since the 1944 convention. Wallace stated that he wanted "to work within the Democratic party realm" in September 1947\.{{sfn\|Schmidt\|1960\|p\=33}}
Truman was aware of his unpopularity. In July 1947, he privately offered to be Eisenhower's running mate on the Democratic ticket if MacArthur won the Republican nomination, an offer that Eisenhower declined. Truman's offer to Eisenhower did not become public knowledge during the campaign."[Truman Wrote of '48 Offer to Eisenhower](https://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/11/us/truman-wrote-of-48-offer-to-eisenhower.html?fta=y)" *The New York Times*, July 11, 2003\. As a result of Truman's low standing in the polls, several Democratic party bosses began working to "dump" Truman and nominate a more popular candidate. Among the leaders of this movement were [Jacob Arvey](/wiki/Jacob_Arvey "Jacob Arvey"), the head of the powerful Cook County (Chicago) Democratic organization; [Frank Hague](/wiki/Frank_Hague "Frank Hague"), the boss of New Jersey; [James Roosevelt](/wiki/James_Roosevelt "James Roosevelt"), the eldest son of former President [Franklin D. Roosevelt](/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt "Franklin D. Roosevelt"); and liberal Senator [Claude Pepper](/wiki/Claude_Pepper "Claude Pepper") from Florida. The rebels hoped to draft Eisenhower as the Democratic presidential candidate. On July 10, Eisenhower officially refused to be a candidate. There was then an attempt to put forward Supreme Court Justice [William O. Douglas](/wiki/William_O._Douglas "William O. Douglas"), but Douglas also declared that he would not be a presidential candidate. Finally, Senator Pepper declared his intention to challenge Truman for the presidential nomination. His candidacy collapsed when the liberal [Americans for Democratic Action](/wiki/Americans_for_Democratic_Action "Americans for Democratic Action") and the [Congress of Industrial Organizations](/wiki/Congress_of_Industrial_Organizations "Congress of Industrial Organizations") withheld their support, partly due to concerns over Pepper's attacks on Truman's foreign policy decisions regarding the Soviet Union. As a result of the refusal by most of the dump\-Truman delegates to support him, Pepper withdrew his candidacy for the nomination on July 16\. Lacking a candidate acceptable to all sides, the leaders of the dump\-Truman movement reluctantly agreed to support Truman for the nomination.
#### Democratic Convention
At the Democratic Convention, Truman initially proposed a [civil rights](/wiki/Civil_rights "Civil rights") plank to the party platform that moderated the strong vocal support for civil rights that he had expressed at the NAACP convention in 1947, and to Congress in February 1948\. This proposal disappointed Northern and Western liberals who wanted more swift and sweeping reforms in civil rights, but it also failed to placate Southern conservatives, and both sides decided to present their own amendments and proposals to Truman's civil rights plank.{{cite book\|author\=Michael R. Gardner\|title\=Harry Truman and Civil Rights: Moral Courage and Political Risks\|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=N3Ypq7AqtxQC\&pg\=PA96\|year\=2003\|publisher\=Southern Illinois University Press\|page\=96\|isbn\=9780809388967}}{{cite book\|author\=Jon E.

Gardner\|title\=Harry Truman and Civil Rights: Moral Courage and Political Risks\|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=N3Ypq7AqtxQC\&pg\=PA97\|year\=2003\|publisher\=Southern Illinois University Press\|page\=97\|isbn\=9780809388967}} Minneapolis Mayor [Hubert Humphrey](/wiki/Hubert_Humphrey "Hubert Humphrey") led the support for the Biemiller plank. In his speech to the convention, Humphrey memorably stated that "the time has come for the Democratic Party to get out of the shadow of states' rights and walk forthrightly into the bright sunshine of human rights!"{{cite book\|author\=Carl Solberg\|title\=Hubert Humphrey: A Biography\|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=wzGabQcvDvcC\&pg\=PA17\|year\=2003\|publisher\=Minnesota Historical Society Press\|page\=17\|isbn\=9780873514736}}
Truman and his staff knew it was highly likely that any civil rights plank would lead to Southern delegates staging a walk\-out in protest, but Truman believed that civil rights was an important moral cause and ultimately abandoned his advisers' attempts to "soften the approach" with the moderate plank; so the President supported and defended the "Crackpot" Biemiller plank, which passed by 651\.5 votes to 582\.5\.{{cite book\|author\=Michael R. Gardner\|title\=Harry Truman and Civil Rights: Moral Courage and Political Risks\|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=N3Ypq7AqtxQC\&pg\=PA98\|year\=2003\|publisher\=Southern Illinois University Press\|pages\=98–99\|isbn\=9780809388967}} It also received strong support from many of the big\-city party bosses, most of whom felt that the civil rights platform would encourage the growing black population in their cities to vote for the Democrats.(Ross, pp. 124–125\) The passage of the civil rights platform caused some three dozen Southern delegates, led by South Carolina Governor [Strom Thurmond](/wiki/Strom_Thurmond "Strom Thurmond"), to walk out of the convention. The Southern delegates who remained nominated Senator [Richard Russell Jr.](/wiki/Richard_Russell_Jr. "Richard Russell Jr.") from Georgia for the Democratic nomination as a rebuke to Truman. Nonetheless, 947 Democratic delegates voted for Truman as the Democratic nominee, while Russell received only 266 votes, all from the South. Truman's first choice for his running mate was Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, hoping that it might make the ticket more appealing to liberals. Douglas refused the nomination. Needing an alternative, Truman then selected Senator [Alben W. Barkley](/wiki/Alben_W._Barkley "Alben W. Barkley") from [Kentucky](/wiki/Kentucky "Kentucky"), who had delivered the convention's [keynote address](/wiki/Keynote_address "Keynote address"), as his running mate, and Barkley was nominated by acclamation.{{cite journal \|first\=Harvard \|last\=Sitkoff \|title\=Harry Truman and the Election of 1948: The Coming of Age of Civil Rights in American Politics \|journal\=\[\[Journal of Southern History]] \|volume\=37 \|issue\=4 \|year\=1971 \|pages\=597–616 \|jstor\=2206548 \|doi\=10\.2307/2206548 }}
Truman gave a fighting acceptance speech, he stated that "Senator Barkley and I will win this election and make the Republicans like it – don't you forget it!... We will do that because they are wrong and we are right."(Ross, p. 129\) He claimed that the Republican Party had, "ever since its inception...been under the control of special privilege; and they have completely proved it in the Eightieth Congress."(Ross, p. 131\) At the end of the speech, the "delegates rose to their feet and cheered loudly for two minutes...for a moment Truman had created the illusion – few regarded it as more than an illusion – that the Democrats had a fighting chance in November."(Ross, p. 130\)

For both Republicans and Democrats, there were movements of support for General [Dwight D. Eisenhower](/wiki/Dwight_D._Eisenhower "Dwight D. Eisenhower"), the most popular general of World War II and a favorite in the polls. Unlike the latter movement within the Democratic Party, however, the Republican draft movement came largely from the grassroots of the party. By January 23, 1948, the grassroots movement had successfully entered Eisenhower's name into every state holding a Republican presidential primary, and polls gave him a significant lead against all other contenders. With the first state primary approaching, Eisenhower was forced to make a quick decision. Stating that soldiers should keep out of politics, Eisenhower declined to run and requested that the grassroots draft movement cease its activities. After a number of failed efforts to get Eisenhower to reconsider, the organization disbanded, with the majority of its leadership endorsing the presidential campaign of the former Governor of [Minnesota](/wiki/Minnesota "Minnesota"), [Harold Stassen](/wiki/Harold_Stassen "Harold Stassen").
With Eisenhower refusing to run, the contest for the Republican nomination was between Stassen, New York Governor [Thomas E. Dewey](/wiki/Thomas_E._Dewey "Thomas E. Dewey"), Senator [Robert A. Taft](/wiki/Robert_A._Taft "Robert A. Taft") from Ohio, California Governor [Earl Warren](/wiki/Earl_Warren "Earl Warren"), General [Douglas MacArthur](/wiki/Douglas_MacArthur "Douglas MacArthur"), and Senator [Arthur H. Vandenberg](/wiki/Arthur_H._Vandenberg "Arthur H. Vandenberg") from Michigan, the senior Republican in the Senate. Dewey, who had been the Republican nominee in [1944](/wiki/1944_United_States_presidential_election "1944 United States presidential election"), was regarded as the frontrunner when the primaries began. Dewey was the acknowledged leader of the Republican Party's [Eastern Establishment](/wiki/Eastern_Establishment "Eastern Establishment"). In 1946 he had been re\-elected governor of New York by the largest margin in state history. Dewey's handicap was that many Republicans disliked him on a personal level; he often struck observers as cold, stiff, and calculating. Taft was the leader of the Republican Party's conservative wing, which was strongest in the Midwest and parts of the South. Taft called for abolishing many [New Deal](/wiki/New_Deal "New Deal") welfare programs, which he felt were harmful to business interests, and he was skeptical of American involvement in foreign alliances such as the [United Nations](/wiki/United_Nations "United Nations"). Taft had two major weaknesses: He was a plodding, dull campaigner, and he was viewed by most party leaders as being too conservative and controversial to win a presidential election.{{cite book \|author\=James T.

Both Vandenberg and Warren were highly popular in their home states, but each refused to campaign in the primaries, which limited their chances of winning the nomination. Their supporters, however, hoped that in the event of a Dewey\-Taft\-Stassen deadlock, the convention would turn to their man as a compromise candidate. General MacArthur, the famous war hero, was especially popular among conservatives. Since he was serving in Japan as the [Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers](/wiki/Supreme_Commander_of_the_Allied_Powers "Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers") occupying that nation, he was unable to campaign for the nomination. He did make it known, however, that he would accept the GOP nomination if it were offered to him, and some conservative Republicans hoped that by winning a primary contest he could prove his popularity with voters. They chose to enter his name in the Wisconsin primary.Howard B. Schonberger, "The General and the Presidency: Douglas MacArthur and the Election of 1948", *Wisconsin Magazine of History,* (Spring 1974\) 57\#3 pp. 201–219 His candidacy was enthusiastically supported by [William Randolph Hearst](/wiki/William_Randolph_Hearst "William Randolph Hearst") in all of his newspapers.
The "surprise" candidate of 1948 was Stassen, a liberal from Minnesota.Alec Kirby, "'A Major Contender': Harold Stassen and the Politics of American Presidential Nominations", *Minnesota History,* (Dec 1996\) 55\#4 pp. 150–165 In 1938, Stassen had been elected governor of Minnesota at the age of 31; he resigned as governor in 1943 to serve in the wartime Navy. In 1945 he served on the committee that created the [United Nations](/wiki/United_Nations "United Nations"). Stassen was widely regarded as the most liberal of the Republican candidates, yet during the primaries he was criticized for being vague on many issues. Stassen stunned Dewey and MacArthur in the Wisconsin primary; Stassen's surprise victory virtually eliminated General MacArthur, whose supporters had made a major effort on his behalf. Stassen defeated Dewey again in the Nebraska primary, thus making him the new frontrunner. He then made the strategic mistake of trying to beat Taft in Ohio, Taft's home state. Stassen believed that if he could defeat Taft in his home state, Taft would be forced to quit the race and most of Taft's delegates would support him instead of Dewey. Taft defeated Stassen in his native Ohio, and Stassen earned the hostility of the party's conservatives. Even so, Stassen was still leading Dewey in the polls for the upcoming Oregon primary. Dewey, however, realized that losing another primary would end his chances at the nomination, and he decided to make an all\-out effort in Oregon.(Smith, pp. 488\-489\)
In April 1948, Dewey sent Paul Lockwood, one of his top aides, to build a strong grassroots organization in the state. Working with $150,000 sent by Dewey's powerful New York political organization (three times the previous record spent in an Oregon primary), Lockwood paid "for 126 billboards, hundreds of sixty\-second radio spots on every station in the state, and half\-hour broadcasts each noon...The daily *[Portland Oregonian](/wiki/Portland_Oregonian "Portland Oregonian")* carried five Dewey advertisements a day."(Smith, p. 489\) Dewey also extensively campaigned in Oregon, spending three weeks in the state. He "invaded every hamlet, no matter how isolated, speaking at rural crossroads and shaking hands in hamburger stands. One journalist commented that Dewey was the greatest explorer of Oregon since [Lewis and Clark](/wiki/Lewis_and_Clark "Lewis and Clark")."(Abels, p. 57\)
Dewey also agreed to debate Stassen in Oregon on national radio. Held on May 17, 1948, it was the first\-ever [radio debate](/wiki/Dewey%E2%80%93Stassen_debate "Dewey–Stassen debate") between presidential candidates. The sole issue of the debate concerned whether to outlaw the [Communist Party of the United States](/wiki/Communist_Party_USA "Communist Party USA"). Stassen, despite his liberal reputation, argued in favor of outlawing the party, stating his belief that a network of Soviet\-directed Communist spies "within the U.S. demanded immediate, and punitive, response...Why did Dewey oppose such a ban? Stassen wanted to know."(Smith, pp. 492\-493\) "We must not coddle Communism with legality", Stassen insisted. Dewey \- while criticizing Communist totalitarianism and Soviet actions in the Cold War \- still forcefully argued against banning the Communist Party: "This outlawing idea is nothing new...for thousands of years despots have tortured, imprisoned, killed, and exiled their opponents, and their governments have always fallen into the dust."(Smith, p. 493\) Dewey ended his turn in the debate by stating that "I am unalterably, wholeheartedly, and unswervingly against any scheme to write laws outlawing people because of their religious, political, social, or economic ideas. I am against it because it is a violation of the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights...I am against it because I know from a great many years of experience in law enforcement that the proposal wouldn't work. Stripped to its naked essentials...this is nothing but the method of Hitler and Stalin. It is thought control...an attempt to beat down ideas with a club. It is a surrender of everything we believe in." Surveys showed that from 40 to 80 million people nationwide listened to the debate, and most observers rated Dewey as the winner.(Smith, pp. 492\-494\) Four days after the debate, Dewey defeated Stassen in the Oregon primary.(Smith, p. 494\) From this point forward, the New York governor had the momentum he needed to win his party's nomination for a second straight time.Tom Swafford, "The Last Real Presidential Debate", *American Heritage,* Feb/Mar 1986, Vol. 37 Issue 2, pp. 66–71
#### Republican Convention
The [1948 Republican National Convention](/wiki/1948_Republican_National_Convention "1948 Republican National Convention") was held in [Philadelphia](/wiki/Philadelphia "Philadelphia"), Pennsylvania. It was the first presidential convention to be shown on national television. At this time, there were 27 television stations in full operation in the U.S. and an estimated 350,000 TV sets in the whole country. As the convention opened, Dewey was believed to have a large lead in the delegate count.(Patterson, p. 411\) His campaign managers, such as [Herbert Brownell Jr.](/wiki/Herbert_Brownell_Jr. "Herbert Brownell Jr."), [Edwin Jaeckle](/wiki/Edwin_Jaeckle "Edwin Jaeckle"), and [J. Russell Sprague](/wiki/J._Russell_Sprague "J. Russell Sprague"), were "as skillful a group of operators as ever manipulated a convention...it was said at the convention that the Dewey forces "could have won even with Taft" as their candidate."(Abels, pp. 63\-64\) His main opponent, Senator Taft, was hobbled by an ineffective campaign team that one writer called "bumblers", and another historian noted that Taft's campaign manager, Ohio Congressman [Clarence J. Brown](/wiki/Clarence_J._Brown "Clarence J. Brown"), "seemed no match for Herbert Brownell...while the Dewey forces were busy flattering delegates and hinting at promises of patronage, Brown was still worrying about such mundane matters as hotel rooms and seats in the gallery for his friends."(Patterson, p. 410\)
Taft and Stassen, Dewey's leading opponents, met in Taft's hotel suite to plan a "stop\-Dewey" movement. A key obstacle soon developed, however, as both men refused to unite behind a single candidate to oppose Dewey: "The essence of their impasse was simple. Neither Stassen nor Taft hated Dewey enough to withdraw \[in favor of the other], and neither man thought he could get his delegates to follow if he did." Instead, both Taft and Stassen, along with Senator Vandenberg, simply agreed to try to hold their own delegates in the hopes of preventing Dewey from obtaining a majority. This proved to be futile, as Dewey's efficient campaign team methodically gathered the remaining delegates they needed to win the nomination. Stassen tried to contact General Eisenhower to ask him to reconsider becoming a candidate, but Eisenhower "could not be reached."(Abels, pp. 64\-65\) After the second round of balloting, Dewey was only 33 votes short of victory. Taft then called Stassen and urged him to withdraw from the race and endorse him as Dewey's main opponent. When Stassen refused, Taft wrote a concession statement and had it read to the convention at the start of the third ballot; at this point the other candidates also dropped out, and Dewey was then nominated unanimously by [acclamation](/wiki/Acclamation "Acclamation").(Abels, p. 65\)
Dewey's campaign team originally wanted Illinois Governor [Dwight Green](/wiki/Dwight_Green "Dwight Green") to be his running mate, but the opposition of Colonel [Robert R. McCormick](/wiki/Robert_R._McCormick "Robert R. McCormick"), the powerful publisher of the *[Chicago Tribune](/wiki/Chicago_Tribune "Chicago Tribune")*, nixed his chances. According to journalist Jules Abels, Dewey managers Brownell, Sprague, and Jaeckle then appeared to offer the vice\-presidential nomination to influential Indiana Congressman [Charles Halleck](/wiki/Charles_Halleck "Charles Halleck"), in exchange for Halleck delivering the entire Indiana delegation to Dewey. Halleck did so, but Dewey, who had not been present at the meeting between his managers and Halleck, decided to reject his candidacy, telling his aides "Halleck won't do." After Dewey told Halleck of his decision, Halleck "was first speechless with disbelief and then overcome with emotion." He told Dewey that "you're running out on the Eightieth Congress, and you'll be sorry!"(Abels, pp. 66\-67\) Abels wrote that Dewey's decision to deny Halleck the vice\-presidential bid "may have been a fateful one...Halleck with his forceful personality might have changed the tone of the Dewey campaign, and certainly the issue of the record of the GOP\-controlled Eightieth Congress would have to have been met heads on."(Halleck, p. 68\) Instead, Dewey chose popular governor (and future [Chief Justice](/wiki/Chief_Justice_of_the_United_States "Chief Justice of the United States")) [Earl Warren](/wiki/Earl_Warren "Earl Warren") of California as his running mate. Following the convention, most political experts in the [news media](/wiki/News_media "News media") rated the Republican ticket as an almost\-certain winner over the Democrats.(Abels, p. 71\)

Meanwhile, the Democratic Party fragmented. A new [Progressive Party](/wiki/Progressive_Party_%28United_States%2C_1948%E2%80%931955%29 "Progressive Party (United States, 1948–1955)") (the name had been used earlier by [Theodore Roosevelt](/wiki/Theodore_Roosevelt "Theodore Roosevelt") in [1912](/wiki/Bull_Moose_Party "Bull Moose Party") and [Robert M. La Follette](/wiki/Robert_M._La_Follette "Robert M. La Follette") in [1924](/wiki/Progressive_Party_%28United_States%2C_1924%E2%80%931934%29 "Progressive Party (United States, 1924–1934)")) was created afresh in 1948, with the nomination of [Henry A. Wallace](/wiki/Henry_A._Wallace "Henry A. Wallace"), who had served as [Secretary of Agriculture](/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_Agriculture "United States Secretary of Agriculture"), [Vice President of the United States](/wiki/Vice_President_of_the_United_States "Vice President of the United States"), and [Secretary of Commerce](/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_Commerce "United States Secretary of Commerce") under Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1946, President Truman fired Wallace as Secretary of Commerce when Wallace publicly opposed Truman's firm moves to counter the [Soviet Union](/wiki/Soviet_Union "Soviet Union") in the [Cold War](/wiki/Cold_War "Cold War"). Wallace's 1948 platform opposed the Cold War, including the [Marshall Plan](/wiki/Marshall_Plan "Marshall Plan") and [Truman Doctrine](/wiki/Truman_Doctrine "Truman Doctrine"). The Progressives proposed stronger government regulation and control of [Big Business](/wiki/Big_Business "Big Business"). They also campaigned to end discrimination against blacks and women, backed a minimum wage, and called for the elimination of the [House Un\-American Activities Committee](/wiki/House_Un-American_Activities_Committee "House Un-American Activities Committee"), which was investigating the possibility of [communist](/wiki/Communism "Communism") spies within the government and labor unions. Wallace and his supporters charged that the Committee was violating the [civil liberties](/wiki/Civil_liberties "Civil liberties") of government workers and labor unions. The Progressives also generated a great deal of controversy because of the widespread belief that they were secretly controlled by Communists who were more loyal to the [Soviet Union](/wiki/Soviet_Union "Soviet Union") than the United States. Wallace himself denied being a Communist, but he repeatedly refused to disavow their support and, at one point, was quoted as saying that the "Communists are the closest thing to the early Christian martyrs."(Ross, p. 162\) [Walter Reuther](/wiki/Walter_Reuther "Walter Reuther"), the president of the influential [United Auto Workers](/wiki/United_Auto_Workers "United Auto Workers") union, strongly opposed Wallace's candidacy, stating that "people who are not sympathetic with democracy in America are influencing him."(Ross, p. 153\) [Philip Murray](/wiki/Philip_Murray "Philip Murray"), the president of the [Congress of Industrial Organizations](/wiki/Congress_of_Industrial_Organizations "Congress of Industrial Organizations") (CIO), stated in April 1948 that "the Communist Party is directly responsible for the creation of the third party \[Progressive Party] in the United States."
Wallace was also hurt when [Westbrook Pegler](/wiki/Westbrook_Pegler "Westbrook Pegler"), a prominent conservative newspaper columnist, revealed that Wallace as vice president had written coded letters discussing prominent leaders such as Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill to his controversial Russian [New Age](/wiki/New_Age "New Age") spiritual [guru](/wiki/Guru "Guru") [Nicholas Roerich](/wiki/Nicholas_Roerich "Nicholas Roerich"); the letters were nicknamed the "Guru letters." In his book *Out of the Jaws of Victory*, the journalist Jules Abels wrote: "Personalities were referred to by symbolic titles—Roosevelt was 'The Flaming One', Churchill 'The Roaring Lion', and [Cordell Hull](/wiki/Cordell_Hull "Cordell Hull") 'The Sour One'... some of the letters were signed 'Wallace', others '[Galahad](/wiki/Galahad "Galahad")'", the name that Roerich had assigned Wallace in his cult.(Ross, p. 163\) This revelation—including direct quotes from the letters—led to much ridicule of Wallace in the national press. The Progressive Party Convention, which was also held in Philadelphia, was a highly contentious affair; several famous newspaper journalists, such as [H. L. Mencken](/wiki/H._L._Mencken "H. L. Mencken") and [Dorothy Thompson](/wiki/Dorothy_Thompson "Dorothy Thompson"), publicly accused the Progressives of being covertly controlled by Communists. The party's platform was drafted by [Lee Pressman](/wiki/Lee_Pressman "Lee Pressman"), the convention secretary; he later admitted that he had been a member of the Communist party.(Abels, p. 117\) [John Abt](/wiki/John_Abt "John Abt") served as legal counsel to the convention's permanent chairman, Albert Fitzgerald; he also testified years later that he was a Communist. [Rexford Tugwell](/wiki/Rexford_Tugwell "Rexford Tugwell"), a prominent liberal in President Franklin Roosevelt's [New Deal](/wiki/New_Deal "New Deal"), served as the Chairman of the party's platform committee. He became convinced that the party was being manipulated by Communists, and was "so heartsick about Communist infiltration of the party that he discussed . . . with his wife disaffiliating \[from the party] the night before the convention" started.(Abels, pp. 116\-117\) Tugwell later did disassociate himself from the Progressive Party and did not participate in Wallace's fall campaign. A number of other Progressive Party delegates and supporters would quit the party in protest over what they perceived as the undue influence Communists exerted over Wallace, including the prominent American socialist [Norman Thomas](/wiki/Norman_Thomas "Norman Thomas"). In the fall, Thomas would run as the [Socialist Party](/wiki/Socialist_Party_%28United_States%29 "Socialist Party (United States)") presidential candidate to offer liberals a non\-Communist alternative to Wallace.(Abels, p. 233\)
Senator [Glen H. Taylor](/wiki/Glen_H._Taylor "Glen H. Taylor") from [Idaho](/wiki/Idaho "Idaho"), an eccentric figure who was known as a "singing cowboy" and who had ridden his horse "Nugget" up the steps of the [United States Capitol](/wiki/United_States_Capitol "United States Capitol") after winning election to the Senate in 1944, was named as Wallace's running mate. Although he was a member of the Democratic Party, Taylor accepted the Progressive Party's vice\-presidential nomination, saying "I am not leaving the Democratic Party. It left me. Wall Street and the military have taken over the Democratic Party."(Abels, pp. 34\-35\) After receiving the vice\-presidential nomination, Taylor told reporters that there was a difference between "pink" Communists and "red" Communists.(Abels, p. 118\) Taylor claimed that "pink" Communists would support the Wallace\-Taylor ticket because they believed in a "peaceful revolution" to turn the government to left\-wing beliefs, but "red" Communists would support the Republican ticket in the belief that they would cause another [Great Depression](/wiki/Great_Depression "Great Depression"), which would give Communists the chance to take over the government.(Abels, pp. 118\-119\)
In the fall campaign the Wallace\-Taylor ticket made a Southern tour, where both Wallace and Taylor insisted on speaking to racially integrated audiences, in defiance of Southern custom and law at the time. In several North Carolina cities Wallace was hit by a total of "twenty\-seven eggs, thirty\-seven tomatoes, six peaches, and two lemons."(Abels, p. 206\) When he left the state he announced: "As Jesus Christ said, if at any time they will not listen to you willingly, then shake the dust off from your feet and go elsewhere."(Abels, pp. 206\-207\) He ate only in unsegregated restaurants, traveled with a black secretary, and in Mississippi had to be escorted by police for protection. His aide Clark Foreman admitted that Wallace wanted to stir up controversy for the publicity it would receive in more liberal areas in the North and West.(Abels, p. 207\) As the campaign progressed, however, Wallace's crowds thinned and his standing in the polls dropped. Wallace was hurt by the successful effort of labor unions to keep their members in the Democratic column, and by controversial statements from Progressives supporting "appeasement with Russia."(Abels, pp. 211\-212\) Wallace himself attacked [Winston Churchill](/wiki/Winston_Churchill "Winston Churchill") as a "racist" and "imperialist", and Senator Taylor earned criticism for a speech in which he claimed that the "Nazis are running the U.S. government. So why should Russia make peace with them? If I were a Russian . . . I would not agree to anything . . . we are aggressively preparing for war."(Abels, p. 212\)
Wallace's support in polling fell from 11% in a January poll by [Roper Center for Public Opinion Research](/wiki/Roper_Center_for_Public_Opinion_Research "Roper Center for Public Opinion Research") to 6% by June{{sfn\|Schmidt\|1960\|p\=74}} and 4% by October.{{sfn\|Schmidt\|1960\|p\=222}} Wallace traveled over 55,000 miles during the campaign.{{sfn\|Schmidt\|1960\|p\=214}} The Wallace\-Taylor ticket finished in fourth place in the election, winning 1,157,328 votes (2\.4%). This was only slightly less than the States' Rights Party, but the Progressive Party received no electoral votes.{{Leip PV source 2\| year\=1948\| as of\=August 1, 2005}}

Southern Democrats had become increasingly disturbed over President Truman's support of civil rights, particularly following his executive order racially integrating the U.S. armed forces and a civil rights message he sent to Congress in February 1948\. At the Southern Governor's Conference in Wakulla Springs, Florida, on February 6, Mississippi Governor [Fielding Wright](/wiki/Fielding_Wright "Fielding Wright") proposed the formation of a new third party to protect [racial segregation](/wiki/Racial_segregation "Racial segregation") in the South. On May 10, 1948, the governors of the eleven states of the former Confederacy, along with other high\-ranking Southern officials, met in [Jackson, Mississippi](/wiki/Jackson%2C_Mississippi "Jackson, Mississippi"), to discuss their concerns about the growing civil rights movement within the Democratic Party. At the meeting, South Carolina Governor [Strom Thurmond](/wiki/Strom_Thurmond "Strom Thurmond") criticized President Truman for his civil rights agenda, and the governors discussed ways to oppose it.Jeffrey Smith. *Dixiecrat: The Life and Times of Strom Thurmond*{{page needed\|date\=December 2014}}
The Southern Democrats who had walked out of the Democratic National Convention to protest the civil rights platform approved by the convention, and supported by Truman, promptly met at [Municipal Auditorium](/wiki/Boutwell_Memorial_Auditorium "Boutwell Memorial Auditorium") in [Birmingham, Alabama](/wiki/Birmingham%2C_Alabama "Birmingham, Alabama"), on July 17, 1948, and formed yet another political party, which they named the [States' Rights Democratic Party](/wiki/States%27_Rights_Democratic_Party "States' Rights Democratic Party"). More commonly known as the "Dixiecrats", the party's main goal was continuing the policy of racial segregation in the South and the [Jim Crow laws](/wiki/Jim_Crow_laws "Jim Crow laws") that sustained it. Governor Thurmond, who had led the walkout, became the party's presidential nominee after the convention's initial favorite, [Arkansas](/wiki/Arkansas "Arkansas") Governor [Benjamin Laney](/wiki/Benjamin_Travis_Laney "Benjamin Travis Laney"), withdrew his name from consideration. Governor Wright of Mississippi received the vice\-presidential nomination. The Dixiecrats had no chance of winning the election themselves, since they could not get on the ballot in enough states to win the necessary electoral votes. Their strategy was to take enough Southern states from Truman to force the election into the [United States House of Representatives](/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives "United States House of Representatives") under the provisions of the [Twelfth Amendment](/wiki/Twelfth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution%23Electoral_College_under_the_Twelfth_Amendment "Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution#Electoral College under the Twelfth Amendment"), where they could then extract concessions from either Truman or Dewey on racial issues in exchange for their support. Even if Dewey won the election outright, the Dixiecrats hoped that their defection would show that the Democratic Party needed Southern support in order to win national elections, and that this fact would weaken the pro\-civil rights movement among Northern and Western Democrats. The Dixiecrats were weakened, however, when most Southern Democratic leaders (such as Governor [Herman Talmadge](/wiki/Herman_Talmadge "Herman Talmadge") of Georgia and "Boss" [E. H. Crump](/wiki/E._H._Crump "E. H. Crump") from Tennessee) refused to support the party. Despite being an incumbent president, Truman was not placed on the ballot in Alabama.Hugh Alvin Bone, *American Politics and the Party System*, p. 262 (McGraw\-Hill 1955\).
In the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and South Carolina, the party was able to be labeled as the main Democratic Party ticket on the local ballots on election night.[https://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/government\-politics/dixiecrats/](https://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/government-politics/dixiecrats/) New Georgia Encyclopedia. Outside of these four states, it was only listed as a third\-party ticket.

Although it had initially appeared that the Socialist Party would refrain from nominating its own candidate and instead endorse Wallace's run, policy differences and Wallace's refusal to publicly repudiate the support of communists caused them to break with the Progressive Party and nominate their own ticket. The party therefore nominated [Norman Thomas](/wiki/Norman_Thomas "Norman Thomas"), a five\-time Socialist nominee and the former party chairman, as president, and [Tucker P. Smith](/wiki/Tucker_P._Smith "Tucker P. Smith"), an economics professor, as vice president.
Thomas debated [Farrell Dobbs](/wiki/Farrell_Dobbs "Farrell Dobbs"), the nominee of the [Socialist Workers Party](/wiki/Socialist_Workers_Party_%28United_States%29 "Socialist Workers Party (United States)"), during the general election. This was the first debate between general election presidential candidates. [Edward A. Teichert](/wiki/Edward_A._Teichert "Edward A. Teichert"), the nominee of the [Socialist Labor Party of America](/wiki/Socialist_Labor_Party_of_America "Socialist Labor Party of America"), had challenged Thomas to a debate, but Teichert declined after Thomas asked for Dobbs to also be invited.

"On July 12, the [Democratic National Convention](/wiki/1948_Democratic_National_Convention \"1948 Democratic National Convention\") convened in Philadelphia in the [same arena](/wiki/Philadelphia_Convention_Hall_and_Civic_Center \"Philadelphia Convention Hall and Civic Center\") where the Republicans had met a few weeks earlier. Spirits were low; the Republicans had taken control of both houses of the [United States Congress](/wiki/United_States_Congress \"United States Congress\") and a majority of state governorships during the 1946 mid\\-term elections, and the public opinion polls showed Truman trailing Republican nominee Dewey, sometimes by double digits. Furthermore, some liberal Democrats had joined [Henry A. Wallace](/wiki/Henry_A._Wallace \"Henry A. Wallace\")'s new Progressive Party, and party leaders feared that Wallace would take enough votes from Truman to give the large Northern and Midwestern states to the Republicans. Conservatives dominated the party in the South, and they were angered by the growing voice of labor unions and black voters in the party outside the South. The hope that Truman would reverse course faded when he vetoed the [Taft\\-Hartley Law](/wiki/Taft-Hartley_Law \"Taft-Hartley Law\"), which sought to reduce the power of labor unions. Congress voted to override Truman's veto, and the [Taft\\-Hartley Law](/wiki/Taft-Hartley_Law \"Taft-Hartley Law\") went into effect on June 23, 1947\\. Finally, Truman's appointment of a liberal [civil rights](/wiki/Civil_rights_movement \"Civil rights movement\") commission convinced Southern conservatives that to re\\-establish their voice they had to threaten [third\\-party](/wiki/Third_party_%28United_States%29 \"Third party (United States)\") action to defeat Truman in 1948\\.Robert A. Garson, \"The Alienation of the South: A Crisis for Harry S. Truman and the Democratic Party, 1945\\-1948\", *Missouri Historical Review*, (July 1970\\) 64\\#4 pp. 448–471",
"[Alexander F. Whitney](/wiki/Alexander_F._Whitney \"Alexander F. Whitney\"), who was previously critical of Truman and threatened to finance a third\\-party campaign, praised him after Truman vetoed the Taft–Hartley Act and stated that the veto \"vindicated him in the eyes of labor\". Whitney and [Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen](/wiki/Brotherhood_of_Railroad_Trainmen \"Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen\") had been supporters of Wallace since the 1944 convention. Wallace stated that he wanted \"to work within the Democratic party realm\" in September 1947\\.{{sfn\\|Schmidt\\|1960\\|p\\=33}}",
"Truman was aware of his unpopularity. In July 1947, he privately offered to be Eisenhower's running mate on the Democratic ticket if MacArthur won the Republican nomination, an offer that Eisenhower declined. Truman's offer to Eisenhower did not become public knowledge during the campaign.\"[Truman Wrote of '48 Offer to Eisenhower](https://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/11/us/truman-wrote-of-48-offer-to-eisenhower.html?fta=y)\" *The New York Times*, July 11, 2003\\. As a result of Truman's low standing in the polls, several Democratic party bosses began working to \"dump\" Truman and nominate a more popular candidate. Among the leaders of this movement were [Jacob Arvey](/wiki/Jacob_Arvey \"Jacob Arvey\"), the head of the powerful Cook County (Chicago) Democratic organization; [Frank Hague](/wiki/Frank_Hague \"Frank Hague\"), the boss of New Jersey; [James Roosevelt](/wiki/James_Roosevelt \"James Roosevelt\"), the eldest son of former President [Franklin D. Roosevelt](/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt \"Franklin D. Roosevelt\"); and liberal Senator [Claude Pepper](/wiki/Claude_Pepper \"Claude Pepper\") from Florida. The rebels hoped to draft Eisenhower as the Democratic presidential candidate. On July 10, Eisenhower officially refused to be a candidate. There was then an attempt to put forward Supreme Court Justice [William O. Douglas](/wiki/William_O._Douglas \"William O. Douglas\"), but Douglas also declared that he would not be a presidential candidate. Finally, Senator Pepper declared his intention to challenge Truman for the presidential nomination. His candidacy collapsed when the liberal [Americans for Democratic Action](/wiki/Americans_for_Democratic_Action \"Americans for Democratic Action\") and the [Congress of Industrial Organizations](/wiki/Congress_of_Industrial_Organizations \"Congress of Industrial Organizations\") withheld their support, partly due to concerns over Pepper's attacks on Truman's foreign policy decisions regarding the Soviet Union. As a result of the refusal by most of the dump\\-Truman delegates to support him, Pepper withdrew his candidacy for the nomination on July 16\\. Lacking a candidate acceptable to all sides, the leaders of the dump\\-Truman movement reluctantly agreed to support Truman for the nomination.",
"#### Democratic Convention",
"At the Democratic Convention, Truman initially proposed a [civil rights](/wiki/Civil_rights \"Civil rights\") plank to the party platform that moderated the strong vocal support for civil rights that he had expressed at the NAACP convention in 1947, and to Congress in February 1948\\. This proposal disappointed Northern and Western liberals who wanted more swift and sweeping reforms in civil rights, but it also failed to placate Southern conservatives, and both sides decided to present their own amendments and proposals to Truman's civil rights plank.{{cite book\\|author\\=Michael R.

"Truman and his staff knew it was highly likely that any civil rights plank would lead to Southern delegates staging a walk\\-out in protest, but Truman believed that civil rights was an important moral cause and ultimately abandoned his advisers' attempts to \"soften the approach\" with the moderate plank; so the President supported and defended the \"Crackpot\" Biemiller plank, which passed by 651\\.5 votes to 582\\.5\\.{{cite book\\|author\\=Michael R.

The Southern delegates who remained nominated Senator [Richard Russell Jr.](/wiki/Richard_Russell_Jr. \"Richard Russell Jr.\") from Georgia for the Democratic nomination as a rebuke to Truman. Nonetheless, 947 Democratic delegates voted for Truman as the Democratic nominee, while Russell received only 266 votes, all from the South. Truman's first choice for his running mate was Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, hoping that it might make the ticket more appealing to liberals. Douglas refused the nomination. Needing an alternative, Truman then selected Senator [Alben W. Barkley](/wiki/Alben_W._Barkley \"Alben W. Barkley\") from [Kentucky](/wiki/Kentucky \"Kentucky\"), who had delivered the convention's [keynote address](/wiki/Keynote_address \"Keynote address\"), as his running mate, and Barkley was nominated by acclamation.{{cite journal \\|first\\=Harvard \\|last\\=Sitkoff \\|title\\=Harry Truman and the Election of 1948: The Coming of Age of Civil Rights in American Politics \\|journal\\=\\[\\[Journal of Southern History]] \\|volume\\=37 \\|issue\\=4 \\|year\\=1971 \\|pages\\=597–616 \\|jstor\\=2206548 \\|doi\\=10\\.2307/2206548 }}",

"For both Republicans and Democrats, there were movements of support for General [Dwight D. Eisenhower](/wiki/Dwight_D._Eisenhower \"Dwight D. Eisenhower\"), the most popular general of World War II and a favorite in the polls. Unlike the latter movement within the Democratic Party, however, the Republican draft movement came largely from the grassroots of the party. By January 23, 1948, the grassroots movement had successfully entered Eisenhower's name into every state holding a Republican presidential primary, and polls gave him a significant lead against all other contenders. With the first state primary approaching, Eisenhower was forced to make a quick decision. Stating that soldiers should keep out of politics, Eisenhower declined to run and requested that the grassroots draft movement cease its activities. After a number of failed efforts to get Eisenhower to reconsider, the organization disbanded, with the majority of its leadership endorsing the presidential campaign of the former Governor of [Minnesota](/wiki/Minnesota \"Minnesota\"), [Harold Stassen](/wiki/Harold_Stassen \"Harold Stassen\").",
"With Eisenhower refusing to run, the contest for the Republican nomination was between Stassen, New York Governor [Thomas E. Dewey](/wiki/Thomas_E._Dewey \"Thomas E. Dewey\"), Senator [Robert A. Taft](/wiki/Robert_A._Taft \"Robert A. Taft\") from Ohio, California Governor [Earl Warren](/wiki/Earl_Warren \"Earl Warren\"), General [Douglas MacArthur](/wiki/Douglas_MacArthur \"Douglas MacArthur\"), and Senator [Arthur H. Vandenberg](/wiki/Arthur_H._Vandenberg \"Arthur H. Vandenberg\") from Michigan, the senior Republican in the Senate. Dewey, who had been the Republican nominee in [1944](/wiki/1944_United_States_presidential_election \"1944 United States presidential election\"), was regarded as the frontrunner when the primaries began. Dewey was the acknowledged leader of the Republican Party's [Eastern Establishment](/wiki/Eastern_Establishment \"Eastern Establishment\"). In 1946 he had been re\\-elected governor of New York by the largest margin in state history. Dewey's handicap was that many Republicans disliked him on a personal level; he often struck observers as cold, stiff, and calculating. Taft was the leader of the Republican Party's conservative wing, which was strongest in the Midwest and parts of the South. Taft called for abolishing many [New Deal](/wiki/New_Deal \"New Deal\") welfare programs, which he felt were harmful to business interests, and he was skeptical of American involvement in foreign alliances such as the [United Nations](/wiki/United_Nations \"United Nations\"). Taft had two major weaknesses: He was a plodding, dull campaigner, and he was viewed by most party leaders as being too conservative and controversial to win a presidential election.{{cite book \\|author\\=James T.

"Both Vandenberg and Warren were highly popular in their home states, but each refused to campaign in the primaries, which limited their chances of winning the nomination. Their supporters, however, hoped that in the event of a Dewey\\-Taft\\-Stassen deadlock, the convention would turn to their man as a compromise candidate. General MacArthur, the famous war hero, was especially popular among conservatives. Since he was serving in Japan as the [Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers](/wiki/Supreme_Commander_of_the_Allied_Powers \"Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers\") occupying that nation, he was unable to campaign for the nomination. He did make it known, however, that he would accept the GOP nomination if it were offered to him, and some conservative Republicans hoped that by winning a primary contest he could prove his popularity with voters. They chose to enter his name in the Wisconsin primary.Howard B. Schonberger, \"The General and the Presidency: Douglas MacArthur and the Election of 1948\", *Wisconsin Magazine of History,* (Spring 1974\\) 57\\#3 pp. 201–219 His candidacy was enthusiastically supported by [William Randolph Hearst](/wiki/William_Randolph_Hearst \"William Randolph Hearst\") in all of his newspapers.",
"The \"surprise\" candidate of 1948 was Stassen, a liberal from Minnesota.Alec Kirby, \"'A Major Contender': Harold Stassen and the Politics of American Presidential Nominations\", *Minnesota History,* (Dec 1996\\) 55\\#4 pp. 150–165 In 1938, Stassen had been elected governor of Minnesota at the age of 31; he resigned as governor in 1943 to serve in the wartime Navy. In 1945 he served on the committee that created the [United Nations](/wiki/United_Nations \"United Nations\"). Stassen was widely regarded as the most liberal of the Republican candidates, yet during the primaries he was criticized for being vague on many issues. Stassen stunned Dewey and MacArthur in the Wisconsin primary; Stassen's surprise victory virtually eliminated General MacArthur, whose supporters had made a major effort on his behalf. Stassen defeated Dewey again in the Nebraska primary, thus making him the new frontrunner. He then made the strategic mistake of trying to beat Taft in Ohio, Taft's home state. Stassen believed that if he could defeat Taft in his home state, Taft would be forced to quit the race and most of Taft's delegates would support him instead of Dewey. Taft defeated Stassen in his native Ohio, and Stassen earned the hostility of the party's conservatives. Even so, Stassen was still leading Dewey in the polls for the upcoming Oregon primary. Dewey, however, realized that losing another primary would end his chances at the nomination, and he decided to make an all\\-out effort in Oregon.(Smith, pp. 488\\-489\\)",
"In April 1948, Dewey sent Paul Lockwood, one of his top aides, to build a strong grassroots organization in the state. Working with $150,000 sent by Dewey's powerful New York political organization (three times the previous record spent in an Oregon primary), Lockwood paid \"for 126 billboards, hundreds of sixty\\-second radio spots on every station in the state, and half\\-hour broadcasts each noon...The daily *[Portland Oregonian](/wiki/Portland_Oregonian \"Portland Oregonian\")* carried five Dewey advertisements a day.\"(Smith, p. 489\\) Dewey also extensively campaigned in Oregon, spending three weeks in the state. He \"invaded every hamlet, no matter how isolated, speaking at rural crossroads and shaking hands in hamburger stands. One journalist commented that Dewey was the greatest explorer of Oregon since [Lewis and Clark](/wiki/Lewis_and_Clark \"Lewis and Clark\").\"(Abels, p. 57\\)",
"Dewey also agreed to debate Stassen in Oregon on national radio. Held on May 17, 1948, it was the first\\-ever [radio debate](/wiki/Dewey%E2%80%93Stassen_debate \"Dewey–Stassen debate\") between presidential candidates. The sole issue of the debate concerned whether to outlaw the [Communist Party of the United States](/wiki/Communist_Party_USA \"Communist Party USA\"). Stassen, despite his liberal reputation, argued in favor of outlawing the party, stating his belief that a network of Soviet\\-directed Communist spies \"within the U.S. demanded immediate, and punitive, response...Why did Dewey oppose such a ban? Stassen wanted to know.\"(Smith, pp. 492\\-493\\) \"We must not coddle Communism with legality\", Stassen insisted. Dewey \\- while criticizing Communist totalitarianism and Soviet actions in the Cold War \\- still forcefully argued against banning the Communist Party: \"This outlawing idea is nothing new...for thousands of years despots have tortured, imprisoned, killed, and exiled their opponents, and their governments have always fallen into the dust.\"(Smith, p. 493\\) Dewey ended his turn in the debate by stating that \"I am unalterably, wholeheartedly, and unswervingly against any scheme to write laws outlawing people because of their religious, political, social, or economic ideas. I am against it because it is a violation of the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights...I am against it because I know from a great many years of experience in law enforcement that the proposal wouldn't work. Stripped to its naked essentials...this is nothing but the method of Hitler and Stalin. It is thought control...an attempt to beat down ideas with a club. It is a surrender of everything we believe in.\" Surveys showed that from 40 to 80 million people nationwide listened to the debate, and most observers rated Dewey as the winner.(Smith, pp. 492\\-494\\) Four days after the debate, Dewey defeated Stassen in the Oregon primary.(Smith, p. 494\\) From this point forward, the New York governor had the momentum he needed to win his party's nomination for a second straight time.Tom Swafford, \"The Last Real Presidential Debate\", *American Heritage,* Feb/Mar 1986, Vol. 37 Issue 2, pp. 66–71",
"#### Republican Convention",
"The [1948 Republican National Convention](/wiki/1948_Republican_National_Convention \"1948 Republican National Convention\") was held in [Philadelphia](/wiki/Philadelphia \"Philadelphia\"), Pennsylvania. It was the first presidential convention to be shown on national television. At this time, there were 27 television stations in full operation in the U.S. and an estimated 350,000 TV sets in the whole country. As the convention opened, Dewey was believed to have a large lead in the delegate count.(Patterson, p. 411\\) His campaign managers, such as [Herbert Brownell Jr.](/wiki/Herbert_Brownell_Jr. \"Herbert Brownell Jr.\"), [Edwin Jaeckle](/wiki/Edwin_Jaeckle \"Edwin Jaeckle\"), and [J. Russell Sprague](/wiki/J._Russell_Sprague \"J. Russell Sprague\"), were \"as skillful a group of operators as ever manipulated a convention...it was said at the convention that the Dewey forces \"could have won even with Taft\" as their candidate.\"(Abels, pp. 63\\-64\\) His main opponent, Senator Taft, was hobbled by an ineffective campaign team that one writer called \"bumblers\", and another historian noted that Taft's campaign manager, Ohio Congressman [Clarence J. Brown](/wiki/Clarence_J._Brown \"Clarence J. Brown\"), \"seemed no match for Herbert Brownell...while the Dewey forces were busy flattering delegates and hinting at promises of patronage, Brown was still worrying about such mundane matters as hotel rooms and seats in the gallery for his friends.\"(Patterson, p. 410\\)",
"Taft and Stassen, Dewey's leading opponents, met in Taft's hotel suite to plan a \"stop\\-Dewey\" movement. A key obstacle soon developed, however, as both men refused to unite behind a single candidate to oppose Dewey: \"The essence of their impasse was simple. Neither Stassen nor Taft hated Dewey enough to withdraw \\[in favor of the other], and neither man thought he could get his delegates to follow if he did.\" Instead, both Taft and Stassen, along with Senator Vandenberg, simply agreed to try to hold their own delegates in the hopes of preventing Dewey from obtaining a majority. This proved to be futile, as Dewey's efficient campaign team methodically gathered the remaining delegates they needed to win the nomination. Stassen tried to contact General Eisenhower to ask him to reconsider becoming a candidate, but Eisenhower \"could not be reached.\"(Abels, pp. 64\\-65\\) After the second round of balloting, Dewey was only 33 votes short of victory. Taft then called Stassen and urged him to withdraw from the race and endorse him as Dewey's main opponent. When Stassen refused, Taft wrote a concession statement and had it read to the convention at the start of the third ballot; at this point the other candidates also dropped out, and Dewey was then nominated unanimously by [acclamation](/wiki/Acclamation \"Acclamation\").(Abels, p. 65\\)",
"Dewey's campaign team originally wanted Illinois Governor [Dwight Green](/wiki/Dwight_Green \"Dwight Green\") to be his running mate, but the opposition of Colonel [Robert R. McCormick](/wiki/Robert_R._McCormick \"Robert R. McCormick\"), the powerful publisher of the *[Chicago Tribune](/wiki/Chicago_Tribune \"Chicago Tribune\")*, nixed his chances. According to journalist Jules Abels, Dewey managers Brownell, Sprague, and Jaeckle then appeared to offer the vice\\-presidential nomination to influential Indiana Congressman [Charles Halleck](/wiki/Charles_Halleck \"Charles Halleck\"), in exchange for Halleck delivering the entire Indiana delegation to Dewey. Halleck did so, but Dewey, who had not been present at the meeting between his managers and Halleck, decided to reject his candidacy, telling his aides \"Halleck won't do.\" After Dewey told Halleck of his decision, Halleck \"was first speechless with disbelief and then overcome with emotion.\" He told Dewey that \"you're running out on the Eightieth Congress, and you'll be sorry!\"(Abels, pp. 66\\-67\\) Abels wrote that Dewey's decision to deny Halleck the vice\\-presidential bid \"may have been a fateful one...Halleck with his forceful personality might have changed the tone of the Dewey campaign, and certainly the issue of the record of the GOP\\-controlled Eightieth Congress would have to have been met heads on.\"(Halleck, p. 68\\) Instead, Dewey chose popular governor (and future [Chief Justice](/wiki/Chief_Justice_of_the_United_States \"Chief Justice of the United States\")) [Earl Warren](/wiki/Earl_Warren \"Earl Warren\") of California as his running mate. Following the convention, most political experts in the [news media](/wiki/News_media \"News media\") rated the Republican ticket as an almost\\-certain winner over the Democrats.(Abels, p. 71\\)",

"Meanwhile, the Democratic Party fragmented. A new [Progressive Party](/wiki/Progressive_Party_%28United_States%2C_1948%E2%80%931955%29 \"Progressive Party (United States, 1948–1955)\") (the name had been used earlier by [Theodore Roosevelt](/wiki/Theodore_Roosevelt \"Theodore Roosevelt\") in [1912](/wiki/Bull_Moose_Party \"Bull Moose Party\") and [Robert M. La Follette](/wiki/Robert_M._La_Follette \"Robert M. La Follette\") in [1924](/wiki/Progressive_Party_%28United_States%2C_1924%E2%80%931934%29 \"Progressive Party (United States, 1924–1934)\")) was created afresh in 1948, with the nomination of [Henry A. Wallace](/wiki/Henry_A._Wallace \"Henry A. Wallace\"), who had served as [Secretary of Agriculture](/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_Agriculture \"United States Secretary of Agriculture\"), [Vice President of the United States](/wiki/Vice_President_of_the_United_States \"Vice President of the United States\"), and [Secretary of Commerce](/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_Commerce \"United States Secretary of Commerce\") under Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1946, President Truman fired Wallace as Secretary of Commerce when Wallace publicly opposed Truman's firm moves to counter the [Soviet Union](/wiki/Soviet_Union \"Soviet Union\") in the [Cold War](/wiki/Cold_War \"Cold War\"). Wallace's 1948 platform opposed the Cold War, including the [Marshall Plan](/wiki/Marshall_Plan \"Marshall Plan\") and [Truman Doctrine](/wiki/Truman_Doctrine \"Truman Doctrine\"). The Progressives proposed stronger government regulation and control of [Big Business](/wiki/Big_Business \"Big Business\"). They also campaigned to end discrimination against blacks and women, backed a minimum wage, and called for the elimination of the [House Un\\-American Activities Committee](/wiki/House_Un-American_Activities_Committee \"House Un-American Activities Committee\"), which was investigating the possibility of [communist](/wiki/Communism \"Communism\") spies within the government and labor unions. Wallace and his supporters charged that the Committee was violating the [civil liberties](/wiki/Civil_liberties \"Civil liberties\") of government workers and labor unions. The Progressives also generated a great deal of controversy because of the widespread belief that they were secretly controlled by Communists who were more loyal to the [Soviet Union](/wiki/Soviet_Union \"Soviet Union\") than the United States. Wallace himself denied being a Communist, but he repeatedly refused to disavow their support and, at one point, was quoted as saying that the \"Communists are the closest thing to the early Christian martyrs.\"(Ross, p. 162\\) [Walter Reuther](/wiki/Walter_Reuther \"Walter Reuther\"), the president of the influential [United Auto Workers](/wiki/United_Auto_Workers \"United Auto Workers\") union, strongly opposed Wallace's candidacy, stating that \"people who are not sympathetic with democracy in America are influencing him.\"(Ross, p. 153\\) [Philip Murray](/wiki/Philip_Murray \"Philip Murray\"), the president of the [Congress of Industrial Organizations](/wiki/Congress_of_Industrial_Organizations \"Congress of Industrial Organizations\") (CIO), stated in April 1948 that \"the Communist Party is directly responsible for the creation of the third party \\[Progressive Party] in the United States.\"",
"Wallace was also hurt when [Westbrook Pegler](/wiki/Westbrook_Pegler \"Westbrook Pegler\"), a prominent conservative newspaper columnist, revealed that Wallace as vice president had written coded letters discussing prominent leaders such as Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill to his controversial Russian [New Age](/wiki/New_Age \"New Age\") spiritual [guru](/wiki/Guru \"Guru\") [Nicholas Roerich](/wiki/Nicholas_Roerich \"Nicholas Roerich\"); the letters were nicknamed the \"Guru letters.\" In his book *Out of the Jaws of Victory*, the journalist Jules Abels wrote: \"Personalities were referred to by symbolic titles—Roosevelt was 'The Flaming One', Churchill 'The Roaring Lion', and [Cordell Hull](/wiki/Cordell_Hull \"Cordell Hull\") 'The Sour One'... some of the letters were signed 'Wallace', others '[Galahad](/wiki/Galahad \"Galahad\")'\", the name that Roerich had assigned Wallace in his cult.(Ross, p. 163\\) This revelation—including direct quotes from the letters—led to much ridicule of Wallace in the national press. The Progressive Party Convention, which was also held in Philadelphia, was a highly contentious affair; several famous newspaper journalists, such as [H. L. Mencken](/wiki/H._L._Mencken \"H. L. Mencken\") and [Dorothy Thompson](/wiki/Dorothy_Thompson \"Dorothy Thompson\"), publicly accused the Progressives of being covertly controlled by Communists. The party's platform was drafted by [Lee Pressman](/wiki/Lee_Pressman \"Lee Pressman\"), the convention secretary; he later admitted that he had been a member of the Communist party.(Abels, p. 117\\) [John Abt](/wiki/John_Abt \"John Abt\") served as legal counsel to the convention's permanent chairman, Albert Fitzgerald; he also testified years later that he was a Communist. [Rexford Tugwell](/wiki/Rexford_Tugwell \"Rexford Tugwell\"), a prominent liberal in President Franklin Roosevelt's [New Deal](/wiki/New_Deal \"New Deal\"), served as the Chairman of the party's platform committee. He became convinced that the party was being manipulated by Communists, and was \"so heartsick about Communist infiltration of the party that he discussed . . . with his wife disaffiliating \\[from the party] the night before the convention\" started.(Abels, pp. 116\\-117\\) Tugwell later did disassociate himself from the Progressive Party and did not participate in Wallace's fall campaign. A number of other Progressive Party delegates and supporters would quit the party in protest over what they perceived as the undue influence Communists exerted over Wallace, including the prominent American socialist [Norman Thomas](/wiki/Norman_Thomas \"Norman Thomas\"). In the fall, Thomas would run as the [Socialist Party](/wiki/Socialist_Party_%28United_States%29 \"Socialist Party (United States)\") presidential candidate to offer liberals a non\\-Communist alternative to Wallace.(Abels, p. 233\\)",
"Senator [Glen H. Taylor](/wiki/Glen_H._Taylor \"Glen H. Taylor\") from [Idaho](/wiki/Idaho \"Idaho\"), an eccentric figure who was known as a \"singing cowboy\" and who had ridden his horse \"Nugget\" up the steps of the [United States Capitol](/wiki/United_States_Capitol \"United States Capitol\") after winning election to the Senate in 1944, was named as Wallace's running mate. Although he was a member of the Democratic Party, Taylor accepted the Progressive Party's vice\\-presidential nomination, saying \"I am not leaving the Democratic Party. It left me. Wall Street and the military have taken over the Democratic Party.\"(Abels, pp. 34\\-35\\) After receiving the vice\\-presidential nomination, Taylor told reporters that there was a difference between \"pink\" Communists and \"red\" Communists.(Abels, p. 118\\) Taylor claimed that \"pink\" Communists would support the Wallace\\-Taylor ticket because they believed in a \"peaceful revolution\" to turn the government to left\\-wing beliefs, but \"red\" Communists would support the Republican ticket in the belief that they would cause another [Great Depression](/wiki/Great_Depression \"Great Depression\"), which would give Communists the chance to take over the government.(Abels, pp. 118\\-119\\)",
"In the fall campaign the Wallace\\-Taylor ticket made a Southern tour, where both Wallace and Taylor insisted on speaking to racially integrated audiences, in defiance of Southern custom and law at the time. In several North Carolina cities Wallace was hit by a total of \"twenty\\-seven eggs, thirty\\-seven tomatoes, six peaches, and two lemons.\"(Abels, p. 206\\) When he left the state he announced: \"As Jesus Christ said, if at any time they will not listen to you willingly, then shake the dust off from your feet and go elsewhere.\"(Abels, pp. 206\\-207\\) He ate only in unsegregated restaurants, traveled with a black secretary, and in Mississippi had to be escorted by police for protection. His aide Clark Foreman admitted that Wallace wanted to stir up controversy for the publicity it would receive in more liberal areas in the North and West.(Abels, p. 207\\) As the campaign progressed, however, Wallace's crowds thinned and his standing in the polls dropped. Wallace was hurt by the successful effort of labor unions to keep their members in the Democratic column, and by controversial statements from Progressives supporting \"appeasement with Russia.\"(Abels, pp. 211\\-212\\) Wallace himself attacked [Winston Churchill](/wiki/Winston_Churchill \"Winston Churchill\") as a \"racist\" and \"imperialist\", and Senator Taylor earned criticism for a speech in which he claimed that the \"Nazis are running the U.S. government. So why should Russia make peace with them? If I were a Russian . . . I would not agree to anything . . . we are aggressively preparing for war.\"(Abels, p. 212\\)",
"Wallace's support in polling fell from 11% in a January poll by [Roper Center for Public Opinion Research](/wiki/Roper_Center_for_Public_Opinion_Research \"Roper Center for Public Opinion Research\") to 6% by June{{sfn\\|Schmidt\\|1960\\|p\\=74}} and 4% by October.{{sfn\\|Schmidt\\|1960\\|p\\=222}} Wallace traveled over 55,000 miles during the campaign.{{sfn\\|Schmidt\\|1960\\|p\\=214}} The Wallace\\-Taylor ticket finished in fourth place in the election, winning 1,157,328 votes (2\\.4%).

At the Southern Governor's Conference in Wakulla Springs, Florida, on February 6, Mississippi Governor [Fielding Wright](/wiki/Fielding_Wright \"Fielding Wright\") proposed the formation of a new third party to protect [racial segregation](/wiki/Racial_segregation \"Racial segregation\") in the South. On May 10, 1948, the governors of the eleven states of the former Confederacy, along with other high\\-ranking Southern officials, met in [Jackson, Mississippi](/wiki/Jackson%2C_Mississippi \"Jackson, Mississippi\"), to discuss their concerns about the growing civil rights movement within the Democratic Party. At the meeting, South Carolina Governor [Strom Thurmond](/wiki/Strom_Thurmond \"Strom Thurmond\") criticized President Truman for his civil rights agenda, and the governors discussed ways to oppose it.Jeffrey Smith. *Dixiecrat: The Life and Times of Strom Thurmond*{{page needed\\|date\\=December 2014}}",
"The Southern Democrats who had walked out of the Democratic National Convention to protest the civil rights platform approved by the convention, and supported by Truman, promptly met at [Municipal Auditorium](/wiki/Boutwell_Memorial_Auditorium \"Boutwell Memorial Auditorium\") in [Birmingham, Alabama](/wiki/Birmingham%2C_Alabama \"Birmingham, Alabama\"), on July 17, 1948, and formed yet another political party, which they named the [States' Rights Democratic Party](/wiki/States%27_Rights_Democratic_Party \"States' Rights Democratic Party\"). More commonly known as the \"Dixiecrats\", the party's main goal was continuing the policy of racial segregation in the South and the [Jim Crow laws](/wiki/Jim_Crow_laws \"Jim Crow laws\") that sustained it. Governor Thurmond, who had led the walkout, became the party's presidential nominee after the convention's initial favorite, [Arkansas](/wiki/Arkansas \"Arkansas\") Governor [Benjamin Laney](/wiki/Benjamin_Travis_Laney \"Benjamin Travis Laney\"), withdrew his name from consideration. Governor Wright of Mississippi received the vice\\-presidential nomination. The Dixiecrats had no chance of winning the election themselves, since they could not get on the ballot in enough states to win the necessary electoral votes. Their strategy was to take enough Southern states from Truman to force the election into the [United States House of Representatives](/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives \"United States House of Representatives\") under the provisions of the [Twelfth Amendment](/wiki/Twelfth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution%23Electoral_College_under_the_Twelfth_Amendment \"Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution#Electoral College under the Twelfth Amendment\"), where they could then extract concessions from either Truman or Dewey on racial issues in exchange for their support. Even if Dewey won the election outright, the Dixiecrats hoped that their defection would show that the Democratic Party needed Southern support in order to win national elections, and that this fact would weaken the pro\\-civil rights movement among Northern and Western Democrats. The Dixiecrats were weakened, however, when most Southern Democratic leaders (such as Governor [Herman Talmadge](/wiki/Herman_Talmadge \"Herman Talmadge\") of Georgia and \"Boss\" [E. H. Crump](/wiki/E._H._Crump \"E. H. Crump\") from Tennessee) refused to support the party.

Given Truman's sinking popularity and the seemingly fatal three\-way split in the Democratic Party, Dewey appeared unbeatable to the point where top Republicans believed that all their candidate had to do to win was to avoid major mistakes. Following this advice, Dewey carefully avoided risks and spoke in platitudes, avoiding controversial issues, and remained vague on what he planned to do as president, with speech after speech being nonpartisan and also filled with optimistic assertions or empty statements of the obvious, including the famous quote: "You know that your future is still ahead of you." An editorial in the *[Louisville Courier\-Journal](/wiki/The_Courier-Journal "The Courier-Journal")* summed it up:
> No presidential candidate in the future will be so inept that four of his major speeches can be boiled down to these historic four sentences: Agriculture is important. Our rivers are full of fish. You cannot have freedom without liberty. Our future lies ahead.Gary A. Donaldson, *Truman Defeats Dewey* (The University Press of Kentucky, 1999\), p. 173, quoting the *[Louisville Courier\-Journal](/wiki/The_Courier-Journal "The Courier-Journal")*, November 18, 1948\.
Another writer noted the "one broad issue that Dewey set forth in the campaign was unity...but \[he] was oversold on an issue which had no visceral appeal to the average American. It was hard to understand what Dewey was driving at. Sometimes it seemed that he was asking Americans to achieve unity by being united behind him."(Abels, p. 191\) On the other hand, Truman's campaign strategist, [Clark Clifford](/wiki/Clark_Clifford "Clark Clifford"), said that Truman's campaign was "pitched to four distinct interest groups – labor, the farmer, the Negro, and the consumer. Every move had these four interest groups in mind."(Abels, p. 165\) Since he was trailing in the polls, Truman decided to adopt a slashing, no\-holds\-barred campaign. He ridiculed Dewey by name, criticized Dewey's refusal to address specific issues, and scornfully targeted the Republican\-controlled 80th Congress with a wave of relentless and blistering partisan assaults. Truman claimed that "the Communists are rooting for a GOP victory because they know it would bring on another [Great Depression](/wiki/Great_Depression "Great Depression")."(Abels, p. 237\) In several speeches, Truman stated that "GOP" actually stood for "gluttons of privilege", and said that Republicans were "princes of privilege" and "bloodsuckers with offices on Wall Street."(Abels, p. 194\) He told one audience that "The Republicans have begun to nail the American consumer to the wall with spikes of greed."(Manchester, p. 460\) At the National Plowing Contest in [Dexter, Iowa](/wiki/Dexter%2C_Iowa "Dexter, Iowa"), Truman told 80,000 farmers in attendance that "this Republican Congress has already stuck a pitchfork in the farmer's back" to rapturous applause.
[thumb\|350px\|[Clifford K. Berryman](/wiki/Clifford_K._Berryman "Clifford K. Berryman")'s editorial cartoon of October 19, 1948, shows the consensus of experts in mid\-October](/wiki/File:Truman-Dewey-polls-1948.jpg "Truman-Dewey-polls-1948.jpg")
Truman nicknamed the Republican\-controlled Congress as the "worst", "do\-nothing" Congress, a remark that brought strong criticism from Republican Congressional leaders (such as Taft), but no comment from Dewey. In fact, Dewey rarely mentioned Truman's name during the campaign, which fit into his strategy of appearing to be above petty partisan politics. Under Dewey's leadership, the Republicans had enacted a platform at their 1948 convention that called for expanding [Social Security](/wiki/Social_Security_%28United_States%29 "Social Security (United States)"), more funding for public housing, [civil rights](/wiki/Civil_rights "Civil rights") legislation, and promotion of health and education by the federal government. These positions were unacceptable to the conservative Congressional Republican leadership; Truman exploited this rift in the opposing party by calling [a special session of Congress](/wiki/Turnip_Day_Session "Turnip Day Session") on "Turnip Day" (referring to an old piece of Missouri folklore about planting turnips in late July) and daring the Republican Congressional leadership to pass its own platform. The [80th Congress](/wiki/80th_United_States_Congress "80th United States Congress") played into Truman's hands, delivering very little in the way of substantive legislation during this time. Truman simply ignored the fact that Dewey's policies were considerably more liberal than most of his fellow Republicans, and instead concentrated his fire against what he characterized as the conservative, obstructionist tendencies of the unpopular 80th Congress. Truman toured much of the nation with his fiery rhetoric, playing to large, enthusiastic crowds. "Give 'em hell, Harry" was a popular slogan shouted out at stop after stop along the tour. The polls and the pundits held that Dewey's lead was insurmountable and that Truman's efforts were for naught. Truman's own staff considered the campaign a last hurrah.{{citation needed\|date\=December 2020}} Even Truman's own wife, [Bess](/wiki/Bess_Truman "Bess Truman"), had private doubts that her husband could win; the only person who appears to have considered Truman's campaign to be winnable was the president himself, who confidently predicted victory to anyone who would listen to him. Near the end of the campaign, Truman privately wrote a state\-by\-state electoral vote prediction and gave it to his aide, George Elsey. Truman believed that he would win the election with 340 electoral votes, to 108 for Dewey, 42 for Thurmond, and 37 marked doubtful (he accidentally left out four electoral votes).(Manchester, p. 461\)
In the final weeks of the campaign, American movie theaters agreed to play two short newsreel\-like campaign films in support of the two major\-party candidates: both had been created by its respective campaign organization. The Dewey film, shot professionally on an impressive budget, featured very high production values but somehow reinforced an image of the New York governor as cautious and distant. On the other hand, the Truman film, hastily assembled on virtually no budget by the perpetually cash\-short Truman campaign, relied heavily on public\-domain and newsreel footage of the president taking part in major world events and signing important legislation. Perhaps unintentionally, the Truman film visually reinforced an image of him as engaged and decisive. Years later, historian [David McCullough](/wiki/David_McCullough "David McCullough") cited the expensive but lackluster Dewey film and the far cheaper but more effective Truman film as important factors in determining the preferences of undecided voters. As the campaign drew to a close, the polls showed Truman was gaining: though Truman lost all nine of the [Gallup Poll](/wiki/Gallup_Poll "Gallup Poll")'s post\-convention surveys, Dewey's Gallup lead dropped from 17 points in late September to nine points in mid\-October and just five points by the end of the month, just above the poll's margin of error. Although Truman was gaining momentum, most political analysts were reluctant to break with the conventional wisdom and say that a Truman victory was a serious possibility. After 1948, pollsters would constantly test voters through election day.{{citation needed\|date\=December 2020}}
On September 9, nearly two months before election day, pollster [Elmo Roper](/wiki/Elmo_Roper "Elmo Roper") announced "Thomas E. Dewey is almost as good as elected. \[...] I can think of nothing duller or more intellectually barren than acting like a sports announcer who feels he must pretend he is witnessing a neck\-and\-neck race."(Manchester, p. 465\) Roper stopped polling voters until the final week before the election, when he took another poll. It showed "a slight shift to Truman; it still gave Dewey a heavy lead, however, so he decided not to hedge his bet."(Manchester, p. 466\) One poll showing strong Truman support in the rural Midwest was sponsored by the Staley Milling Company, who "polled farmers by giving them a choice of a donkey or an elephant on chicken feed sacks. When the results among 20,000 farmers showed up as fifty\-four percent to forty\-six percent for the donkey, the poll was abandoned."(Abels, p. 275\)
When Dewey considered adopting a more aggressive stance after noticing that his crowds were dwindling, Herbert Brownell contacted 90 GOP state committeemen and committeewomen in all 48 states. With one exception, they "urged \[Dewey] to press forward on the high road" his campaign had taken and to continue to ignore Truman's attacks.(Manchester, p. 463\) The sole exception was Kansas committeeman Harry Darby, who warned Dewey and his managers "that farmers were in a mutinous mood" and recommended that Dewey take a tougher and more aggressive stance. However, given that all the polls still showed Dewey leading, and no other committee member supported Darby, his advice was rejected.
In the campaign's final days, many newspapers, magazines, and political pundits were so confident of Dewey's impending victory they wrote articles to be printed the morning after the election speculating about Dewey's Presidency: *[Life](/wiki/Life_%28magazine%29 "Life (magazine)")* magazine printed a large photo in its final edition before the election, entitled "Our Next President Rides by Ferryboat over San Francisco Bay", that showed Dewey and his staff riding across the city's harbor.(Abels, p. 261\) *[Newsweek](/wiki/Newsweek "Newsweek")* polled fifty experts, with all fifty predicting a Dewey win. Several well\-known and influential newspaper columnists, such as [Drew Pearson](/wiki/Drew_Pearson_%28journalist%29 "Drew Pearson (journalist)") and [Joseph Alsop](/wiki/Joseph_Alsop "Joseph Alsop"), wrote columns to be printed the morning after the election speculating about Dewey's possible choices for his cabinet; the day before the election, Pearson wrote that any chance of a Truman victory was "impossible", and his column printed the day after the election stated that Pearson had "surveyed the closely\-knit group around Tom Dewey who will take over the White House 86 days from now."
[Walter Winchell](/wiki/Walter_Winchell "Walter Winchell") reported that gambling odds were 15 to 1 against Truman. More than 500 newspapers, accounting for over 78% of the nation's total circulation, endorsed Dewey. Truman picked up 182 endorsements, accounting for just 10% of America's newspaper readership, being surpassed by Thurmond, who got the remaining 12% from many Southern papers. [Alistair Cooke](/wiki/Alistair_Cooke "Alistair Cooke"), the distinguished writer for the *[Manchester Guardian](/wiki/The_Guardian "The Guardian")* newspaper in the United Kingdom, published an article on the day of the election entitled "Harry S. Truman: A Study of a Failure." For its television coverage, NBC News had constructed a large cardboard model of the White House containing two elephants that would pop out when NBC announced Dewey's victory; since Truman's defeat was considered certain, no donkeys were placed in the White House model.(Smith, p. 20\)
As Truman made his way to his hometown of [Independence, Missouri](/wiki/Independence%2C_Missouri "Independence, Missouri"), to await the election returns, some among his inner circle had already accepted other jobs, and not a single reporter traveling on his campaign train thought that he would win, while a number of prominent Republicans, anticipating serving in a Dewey administration, had already bought homes in Washington.(Manchester, p. 453\)
### Results
[thumb\|Famous photograph of Truman grinning and holding up a copy of the newspaper that [erroneously announced his defeat](/wiki/Dewey_Defeats_Truman "Dewey Defeats Truman").](/wiki/File:Dewey_Defeats_Truman.jpg "Dewey Defeats Truman.jpg")
On election night, Dewey, his family, and campaign staff confidently gathered in the [Roosevelt Hotel](/wiki/The_Roosevelt_Hotel_%28New_York%29 "The Roosevelt Hotel (New York)") in [New York City](/wiki/New_York_City "New York City") to await the returns.(Ross, p. 241\) Truman, aided by the [Secret Service](/wiki/United_States_Secret_Service "United States Secret Service"), snuck away from reporters covering him in [Kansas City](/wiki/Kansas_City%2C_Missouri "Kansas City, Missouri") and rode to nearby [Excelsior Springs, Missouri](/wiki/Excelsior_Springs%2C_Missouri "Excelsior Springs, Missouri"). There, he took a room in the historic [Elms Hotel](/wiki/Elms_Hotel_%28Excelsior_Springs%2C_Missouri%29 "Elms Hotel (Excelsior Springs, Missouri)"), had dinner and a [Turkish bath](/wiki/Turkish_bath "Turkish bath"), and went to sleep.(Ross, p. 242\) As the votes came in, Truman took an early lead that he never lost. The leading radio commentators, such as [H. V. Kaltenborn](/wiki/H._V._Kaltenborn "H. V. Kaltenborn") of [NBC](/wiki/NBC "NBC"), still confidently predicted that once the "late returns" came in Dewey would overcome Truman's lead and win. At midnight, Truman awoke and turned on the radio in his room; he heard Kaltenborn announce that while Truman was still ahead in the popular vote, he could not possibly win. At 4 a.m., Truman awoke again and heard on the radio that his popular\-vote lead was now nearly two million votes, and that he was well ahead in the electoral vote. He told the Secret Service agents guarding him to drive him back to Kansas City, "because it looks as if we're in for another four years."(Manchester, p. 469\) For the rest of his life, Truman would gleefully mimic Kaltenborn's staccato voice predicting his defeat throughout that election night. Dewey, meanwhile, realized that he was in trouble when early returns from [New England](/wiki/New_England "New England") and [New York](/wiki/New_York_%28state%29 "New York (state)") showed him running well behind his expected vote total. He stayed up for the rest of the night and early morning analyzing the votes as they came in, and by 10:30 a.m., he was convinced he had lost; at 11:14 a.m., he sent a gracious telegram of concession to Truman.(Ross, p. 240\-243\)
The pro\-Republican *[Chicago Daily Tribune](/wiki/Chicago_Daily_Tribune "Chicago Daily Tribune")* was so certain of Dewey's victory that on Tuesday afternoon, before any polls closed, it printed "[DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN](/wiki/Dewey_Defeats_Truman "Dewey Defeats Truman")" as its banner headline for the following day. Part of the reason Truman's victory came as such a shock was because of uncorrected flaws in the emerging craft of public opinion polling. According to historian [William Manchester](/wiki/William_Manchester "William Manchester"), "many professional pollsters \[...] believed in what some had come to call [Farley's Law](/wiki/James_A._Farley "James A. Farley")." James Farley, President Franklin Roosevelt's successful campaign manager in 1932 and 1936, had stated that, in his opinion, the great majority of voters decided which candidate to support during the political conventions. The fall campaigns, Farley believed, were simply "ineffective carnivals" that swayed few voters. In 1948 many pollsters, relying on Farley's Law, believed that the election was effectively over after the Republican and Democratic conventions, and they discounted the impact of Truman's campaigning that fall.
Manchester noted that "Gallup's September 24 report foresaw 46\.5% for Dewey to 38% for Truman. His last column, appearing in the Sunday papers two days before the election, showed Truman gaining sharply – to 44% – and the interviews on which it was based had been conducted two weeks earlier. The national mood was shifting daily, almost hourly." After the election, a study by the University of Michigan revealed that "14% of Truman's voters, or 3,374,800, had decided to vote for him in the last fortnight of the campaign."(Manchester, p. 471\) Gallup and Roper also did an analysis of the votes; they "learned that one voter in every seven (6,927,000\), made up his mind in the last two weeks before the election. Of these, 75 percent picked Truman", which was more than his margin of victory over Dewey. "Using either the Michigan figures or Gallup\-Roper's, one finds that some 3,300,000 fence\-sitters determined the outcome of the race in its closing days – when Dewey's instincts were urging him to adopt Truman's hell\-for\-leather style and slug it out with him, and when he didn't because all the experts told him he shouldn't."
The key states in the 1948 election were Ohio, California, and Illinois. Truman won each of these states by less than 1 percentage point; they gave him a total of 78 electoral votes. Had Dewey carried all three states \- which would have required a shift of just 29,000 votes \- he would have won the election in the [Electoral College](/wiki/Electoral_College_%28United_States%29 "Electoral College (United States)") despite losing the popular vote by 2\.13 million votes (or 4\.36%). If Dewey had won any two of the three, no nominee would have reached the 266 electoral votes required for election, and the Dixiecrats would have succeeded in their goal of forcing the election into the House of Representatives.
The extreme closeness of the vote in these three states was the major reason why Dewey waited until late on the morning of November 3 to concede defeat. Aside from Ohio, California, and Illinois, Truman carried Idaho by almost as narrow a margin, and Dewey himself countered with similarly narrow victories in New York (the nation's largest electoral prize at the time), his birth state of Michigan, and Maryland. But this was too little to give him the election. Dewey would always believe that he lost the election because he lost the [rural](/wiki/Rural_area "Rural area") vote in the Midwest, which he had won in 1944 {{failed verification span\|text\=(note the Kaltenborn predictions that Truman would joyously mock had taken for granted that the "country vote" would go to Dewey)\|date\=April 2024}}.{{Cite web \|url\=http://www.americanheritage.com/articles/magazine/ah/1968/4/1968\_4\_22\.shtml \|title\=americanheritage.com \|access\-date\=November 8, 2008 \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20081207041433/http://www.americanheritage.com/articles/magazine/ah/1968/4/1968\_4\_22\.shtml \|archive\-date\=December 7, 2008 \|url\-status\=dead \|df\=mdy\-all }}
Of the 3,096 counties/independent cities making returns, Truman won the most popular votes in 1,639 (52\.94%) while Dewey carried 1,190 (38\.44%). Thurmond prevailed in 265 counties (8\.56%) while two counties (0\.06%) in South Dakota split evenly between Truman and Dewey.
Truman's net vote totals in the twelve largest cities, which was around 1,481,000, had decreased by 750,000 from Roosevelt's results in the 1944 election, which was around 2,230,000\.{{cite book \|last\=Murphy \|first\=Paul \|date\=1974 \|title\=Political Parties In American History, Volume 3, 1890\-present \|publisher\=\[\[G. P. Putnam's Sons]]}} If all of the votes Wallace received went to Truman then only the states of Maryland, Michigan, and New York would have flipped.{{sfn\|Schmidt\|1960\|p\=233}}
Journalist [Samuel Lubell](/wiki/Samuel_Lubell "Samuel Lubell") found in his post\-1948 survey of voters that Truman, not Dewey, seemed the safer, more conservative candidate to the "new middle class" that had developed over the previous 20 years. He wrote that "to an appreciable part of the electorate, the Democrats had replaced the Republicans as the party of prosperity" during and after the war. Lubell quoted a man who, when asked why he did not vote Republican after moving to the suburbs, answered "I own a nice home, have a new car and am much better off than my parents were. I've been a Democrat all my life. Why should I change?" Dewey's promise of a "great house cleaning" in Washington worried an Iowa minister who wanted to retain [farm subsidies](/wiki/US_farm_subsidies "US farm subsidies") for parishioners; worried about the consequences of another depression, he voted Democratic for the first time in his church's history. Truman received a record number of [Catholic votes](/wiki/Catholic_Church_and_politics_in_the_United_States "Catholic Church and politics in the United States"), exceeding even the Catholic support of [Al Smith](/wiki/Al_Smith "Al Smith") in [1928](/wiki/1928_United_States_presidential_election "1928 United States presidential election"), in part because Wallace drew leftists away from the Democrats.{{cite book \| title\=The Future of American Politics \| publisher\=Anchor Press \| author\=Lubell, Samuel \| year\=1956 \| pages\=62–63,170–172,224–227 \| edition\=2nd\|ol \= 6193934M}}
Another reason for Dewey's surprise defeat was his complacent, distant approach to the campaign, and his failure to respond to Truman's attacks. Journalist Jules Abels wrote that "the election was not thrown away by indifference or lack of effort. Preparation and more preparation had always been the distinguishing characteristic of Dewey and his team throughout his career...The truth is that Dewey's campaign was the result not of careless, but too careful and painstaking, calculation. The Dewey campaign was frozen into inertia not because it had been underthought, but because it had been overthought."(Abels, p. 142\)
Other possible factors for Truman's victory included his aggressive, populist campaign style; broad public approval of Truman's foreign policy, notably the [Berlin Airlift](/wiki/Berlin_Blockade%23The_start_of_the_Berlin_Airlift "Berlin Blockade#The start of the Berlin Airlift") of that year; and widespread dissatisfaction with the institution Truman labeled as the "do\-nothing, good\-for\-nothing 80th Republican Congress." In addition, after suffering a relatively severe recession in 1946 and 1947 (in which real GDP dropped by 12% and inflation went over 15%), the economy began recovering throughout 1948\. The year 1948 was a banner year for the Democrats, as they not only retained the presidency but also recaptured both houses of Congress. It was also an unprecedented fifth consecutive presidential victory for the party, thus continuing what remains the only winning streak of more than two presidential elections by the Democratic Party since the [Civil War](/wiki/American_Civil_War "American Civil War"). Since 1948, there has been [only one](/wiki/US_presidential_election%2C_1988 "US presidential election, 1988") streak of three consecutive presidential victories by any party (in that case, by the Republicans).
The two largest third parties did not hurt Truman nearly as much as expected, as Thurmond's Dixiecrats carried only four Southern states, fewer than predicted, and all of which listed Thurmond as the official Democratic candidate; Thurmond did not come close to carrying any of the other states in which he ran, with his best showing among these being second place with 20\.3% of the vote in Georgia. The Dixiecrats also failed to draw off enough Truman voters to throw any of his states to Dewey, with the nearest they came in this regard being in Virginia, where the 25\.0% margin won by Roosevelt in 1944 was reduced to 6\.9% this time. The civil rights platform helped Truman win large majorities among black voters in the populous Northern and Midwestern states, and may well have made the difference for Truman in states such as Illinois and Ohio.{{cite news \|last1\=Johnson \|first1\=Theodore R. \|last2\=Prints \|first2\=Posters by Kennedy \|title\=How the Black Vote Became a Political Monolith \|url\=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/16/magazine/black\-vote.html \|website\=The New York Times \|date\=September 16, 2020}} Wallace's Progressives received only 2\.4% of the national popular vote, well below their expected vote total and slightly less than the Dixiecrats, and Wallace did not take as many liberal votes from Truman as many political [pundits](/wiki/Pundit_%28expert%29 "Pundit (expert)") had predicted. Some analysts, including author Zachary Karabell, have even argued that the separate candidacies of Wallace and Thurmond were beneficial to Truman by removing the separate taints of [communism](/wiki/Communism "Communism") and [racism](/wiki/Racism "Racism") from the Democratic Party. The split of the Democratic party, while failing to defeat Truman, did hold the Democrats back in several narrow states. Had the Wallace and Thurmond vote been in the Democratic column, Truman would have won all the Thurmond states (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and South Carolina), and the Wallace vote would have flipped Michigan, Maryland and New York into Truman's states. Winning these states would have put Truman at 416 electoral votes to Dewey's reduced 115 electoral votes. This still would have been a decline of Democratic electoral votes since 1940 but percentage\-wise Truman would have gotten 54\.33% of the popular vote, an increase of 0\.94% from Roosevelt's last victory.
This was the last election until [1996](/wiki/1996_United_States_presidential_election "1996 United States presidential election") in which the Democrats won Arizona and the last until [1964](/wiki/1964_United_States_presidential_election "1964 United States presidential election") in which they won California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. It was also the last election until 1964 in which South Carolina did not vote for the official Democratic nominee. Thurmond's 2\.4% is the lowest popular vote percentage for a candidate who won all of a state's electoral votes.{{cite news \|title\=Evan McMullin Could Set Mark for Weakest National Popular Vote by Candidate to Win a State \|newspaper\=Smart Politics \|url\=http://editions.lib.umn.edu/smartpolitics/2016/10/13/evan\-mcmullin\-could\-set\-mark\-for\-weakest\-national\-popular\-vote\-by\-candidate\-to\-win\-a\-state/ \|date\=October 13, 2016 \|last1\=Ostermeier \|first1\=Eric }} The 1948 presidential election contrasted with other elections across the world during this period, for Truman was a [war leader](/wiki/Allied_leaders_of_World_War_II "Allied leaders of World War II") who managed to win election ([Churchill](/wiki/Winston_Churchill "Winston Churchill") and [De Gaulle](/wiki/Charles_de_Gaulle "Charles de Gaulle") both left office shortly after the end of the war).{{cite web \|title\=History of Sir Winston Churchill \|url\=https://www.gov.uk/government/history/past\-prime\-ministers/winston\-churchill \|website\=www.gov.uk}}{{cite web \|title\=Charles de Gaulle \|url\=https://www.biographyonline.net/politicians/charles\_de\_gaulle.html \|website\=Biography Online}} This was the first election since 1836 in which a Democratic presidential candidate won the presidency without South Carolina, and the first ever in which a Democrat won the presidency without Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi. Furthermore, this is the last time a Democratic presidential candidate won without New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware. It is also the first of two occasions since 1916 that Oregon and Washington did not support the same party (the other being in 1968\). This election is the only time since 1888 that New Jersey and Illinois did not support the same party.

"[thumb\\|Dewey during a campaign tour in New York](/wiki/File:Thomas_E._Dewey_1948_campaign_NYWTS.jpg \"Thomas E.

Duration 3:54\\.\n\\|format \\= \\[\\[Ogg]]\n}}\nGiven Truman's sinking popularity and the seemingly fatal three\\-way split in the Democratic Party, Dewey appeared unbeatable to the point where top Republicans believed that all their candidate had to do to win was to avoid major mistakes. Following this advice, Dewey carefully avoided risks and spoke in platitudes, avoiding controversial issues, and remained vague on what he planned to do as president, with speech after speech being nonpartisan and also filled with optimistic assertions or empty statements of the obvious, including the famous quote: \"You know that your future is still ahead of you.\" An editorial in the *[Louisville Courier\\-Journal](/wiki/The_Courier-Journal \"The Courier-Journal\")* summed it up:",
"> No presidential candidate in the future will be so inept that four of his major speeches can be boiled down to these historic four sentences: Agriculture is important. Our rivers are full of fish. You cannot have freedom without liberty. Our future lies ahead.Gary A. Donaldson, *Truman Defeats Dewey* (The University Press of Kentucky, 1999\\), p. 173, quoting the *[Louisville Courier\\-Journal](/wiki/The_Courier-Journal \"The Courier-Journal\")*, November 18, 1948\\.",
"",
"Another writer noted the \"one broad issue that Dewey set forth in the campaign was unity...but \\[he] was oversold on an issue which had no visceral appeal to the average American. It was hard to understand what Dewey was driving at. Sometimes it seemed that he was asking Americans to achieve unity by being united behind him.\"(Abels, p. 191\\) On the other hand, Truman's campaign strategist, [Clark Clifford](/wiki/Clark_Clifford \"Clark Clifford\"), said that Truman's campaign was \"pitched to four distinct interest groups – labor, the farmer, the Negro, and the consumer. Every move had these four interest groups in mind.\"(Abels, p. 165\\) Since he was trailing in the polls, Truman decided to adopt a slashing, no\\-holds\\-barred campaign. He ridiculed Dewey by name, criticized Dewey's refusal to address specific issues, and scornfully targeted the Republican\\-controlled 80th Congress with a wave of relentless and blistering partisan assaults. Truman claimed that \"the Communists are rooting for a GOP victory because they know it would bring on another [Great Depression](/wiki/Great_Depression \"Great Depression\").\"(Abels, p. 237\\) In several speeches, Truman stated that \"GOP\" actually stood for \"gluttons of privilege\", and said that Republicans were \"princes of privilege\" and \"bloodsuckers with offices on Wall Street.\"(Abels, p. 194\\) He told one audience that \"The Republicans have begun to nail the American consumer to the wall with spikes of greed.\"(Manchester, p. 460\\) At the National Plowing Contest in [Dexter, Iowa](/wiki/Dexter%2C_Iowa \"Dexter, Iowa\"), Truman told 80,000 farmers in attendance that \"this Republican Congress has already stuck a pitchfork in the farmer's back\" to rapturous applause.",
"[thumb\\|350px\\|[Clifford K. Berryman](/wiki/Clifford_K._Berryman \"Clifford K. Berryman\")'s editorial cartoon of October 19, 1948, shows the consensus of experts in mid\\-October](/wiki/File:Truman-Dewey-polls-1948.jpg \"Truman-Dewey-polls-1948.jpg\")\nTruman nicknamed the Republican\\-controlled Congress as the \"worst\", \"do\\-nothing\" Congress, a remark that brought strong criticism from Republican Congressional leaders (such as Taft), but no comment from Dewey. In fact, Dewey rarely mentioned Truman's name during the campaign, which fit into his strategy of appearing to be above petty partisan politics. Under Dewey's leadership, the Republicans had enacted a platform at their 1948 convention that called for expanding [Social Security](/wiki/Social_Security_%28United_States%29 \"Social Security (United States)\"), more funding for public housing, [civil rights](/wiki/Civil_rights \"Civil rights\") legislation, and promotion of health and education by the federal government. These positions were unacceptable to the conservative Congressional Republican leadership; Truman exploited this rift in the opposing party by calling [a special session of Congress](/wiki/Turnip_Day_Session \"Turnip Day Session\") on \"Turnip Day\" (referring to an old piece of Missouri folklore about planting turnips in late July) and daring the Republican Congressional leadership to pass its own platform. The [80th Congress](/wiki/80th_United_States_Congress \"80th United States Congress\") played into Truman's hands, delivering very little in the way of substantive legislation during this time. Truman simply ignored the fact that Dewey's policies were considerably more liberal than most of his fellow Republicans, and instead concentrated his fire against what he characterized as the conservative, obstructionist tendencies of the unpopular 80th Congress. Truman toured much of the nation with his fiery rhetoric, playing to large, enthusiastic crowds. \"Give 'em hell, Harry\" was a popular slogan shouted out at stop after stop along the tour. The polls and the pundits held that Dewey's lead was insurmountable and that Truman's efforts were for naught. Truman's own staff considered the campaign a last hurrah.{{citation needed\\|date\\=December 2020}} Even Truman's own wife, [Bess](/wiki/Bess_Truman \"Bess Truman\"), had private doubts that her husband could win; the only person who appears to have considered Truman's campaign to be winnable was the president himself, who confidently predicted victory to anyone who would listen to him. Near the end of the campaign, Truman privately wrote a state\\-by\\-state electoral vote prediction and gave it to his aide, George Elsey. Truman believed that he would win the election with 340 electoral votes, to 108 for Dewey, 42 for Thurmond, and 37 marked doubtful (he accidentally left out four electoral votes).(Manchester, p. 461\\)",
"In the final weeks of the campaign, American movie theaters agreed to play two short newsreel\\-like campaign films in support of the two major\\-party candidates: both had been created by its respective campaign organization. The Dewey film, shot professionally on an impressive budget, featured very high production values but somehow reinforced an image of the New York governor as cautious and distant. On the other hand, the Truman film, hastily assembled on virtually no budget by the perpetually cash\\-short Truman campaign, relied heavily on public\\-domain and newsreel footage of the president taking part in major world events and signing important legislation. Perhaps unintentionally, the Truman film visually reinforced an image of him as engaged and decisive. Years later, historian [David McCullough](/wiki/David_McCullough \"David McCullough\") cited the expensive but lackluster Dewey film and the far cheaper but more effective Truman film as important factors in determining the preferences of undecided voters. As the campaign drew to a close, the polls showed Truman was gaining: though Truman lost all nine of the [Gallup Poll](/wiki/Gallup_Poll \"Gallup Poll\")'s post\\-convention surveys, Dewey's Gallup lead dropped from 17 points in late September to nine points in mid\\-October and just five points by the end of the month, just above the poll's margin of error. Although Truman was gaining momentum, most political analysts were reluctant to break with the conventional wisdom and say that a Truman victory was a serious possibility. After 1948, pollsters would constantly test voters through election day.{{citation needed\\|date\\=December 2020}}",
"On September 9, nearly two months before election day, pollster [Elmo Roper](/wiki/Elmo_Roper \"Elmo Roper\") announced \"Thomas E. Dewey is almost as good as elected. \\[...] I can think of nothing duller or more intellectually barren than acting like a sports announcer who feels he must pretend he is witnessing a neck\\-and\\-neck race.\"(Manchester, p. 465\\) Roper stopped polling voters until the final week before the election, when he took another poll. It showed \"a slight shift to Truman; it still gave Dewey a heavy lead, however, so he decided not to hedge his bet.\"(Manchester, p. 466\\) One poll showing strong Truman support in the rural Midwest was sponsored by the Staley Milling Company, who \"polled farmers by giving them a choice of a donkey or an elephant on chicken feed sacks. When the results among 20,000 farmers showed up as fifty\\-four percent to forty\\-six percent for the donkey, the poll was abandoned.\"(Abels, p. 275\\)",
"When Dewey considered adopting a more aggressive stance after noticing that his crowds were dwindling, Herbert Brownell contacted 90 GOP state committeemen and committeewomen in all 48 states. With one exception, they \"urged \\[Dewey] to press forward on the high road\" his campaign had taken and to continue to ignore Truman's attacks.(Manchester, p. 463\\) The sole exception was Kansas committeeman Harry Darby, who warned Dewey and his managers \"that farmers were in a mutinous mood\" and recommended that Dewey take a tougher and more aggressive stance. However, given that all the polls still showed Dewey leading, and no other committee member supported Darby, his advice was rejected.",
"In the campaign's final days, many newspapers, magazines, and political pundits were so confident of Dewey's impending victory they wrote articles to be printed the morning after the election speculating about Dewey's Presidency: *[Life](/wiki/Life_%28magazine%29 \"Life (magazine)\")* magazine printed a large photo in its final edition before the election, entitled \"Our Next President Rides by Ferryboat over San Francisco Bay\", that showed Dewey and his staff riding across the city's harbor.(Abels, p. 261\\) *[Newsweek](/wiki/Newsweek \"Newsweek\")* polled fifty experts, with all fifty predicting a Dewey win. Several well\\-known and influential newspaper columnists, such as [Drew Pearson](/wiki/Drew_Pearson_%28journalist%29 \"Drew Pearson (journalist)\") and [Joseph Alsop](/wiki/Joseph_Alsop \"Joseph Alsop\"), wrote columns to be printed the morning after the election speculating about Dewey's possible choices for his cabinet; the day before the election, Pearson wrote that any chance of a Truman victory was \"impossible\", and his column printed the day after the election stated that Pearson had \"surveyed the closely\\-knit group around Tom Dewey who will take over the White House 86 days from now.\"",
"[Walter Winchell](/wiki/Walter_Winchell \"Walter Winchell\") reported that gambling odds were 15 to 1 against Truman. More than 500 newspapers, accounting for over 78% of the nation's total circulation, endorsed Dewey. Truman picked up 182 endorsements, accounting for just 10% of America's newspaper readership, being surpassed by Thurmond, who got the remaining 12% from many Southern papers. [Alistair Cooke](/wiki/Alistair_Cooke \"Alistair Cooke\"), the distinguished writer for the *[Manchester Guardian](/wiki/The_Guardian \"The Guardian\")* newspaper in the United Kingdom, published an article on the day of the election entitled \"Harry S. Truman: A Study of a Failure.\" For its television coverage, NBC News had constructed a large cardboard model of the White House containing two elephants that would pop out when NBC announced Dewey's victory; since Truman's defeat was considered certain, no donkeys were placed in the White House model.(Smith, p. 20\\)",
"As Truman made his way to his hometown of [Independence, Missouri](/wiki/Independence%2C_Missouri \"Independence, Missouri\"), to await the election returns, some among his inner circle had already accepted other jobs, and not a single reporter traveling on his campaign train thought that he would win, while a number of prominent Republicans, anticipating serving in a Dewey administration, had already bought homes in Washington.(Manchester, p. 453\\)",

There, he took a room in the historic [Elms Hotel](/wiki/Elms_Hotel_%28Excelsior_Springs%2C_Missouri%29 \"Elms Hotel (Excelsior Springs, Missouri)\"), had dinner and a [Turkish bath](/wiki/Turkish_bath \"Turkish bath\"), and went to sleep.(Ross, p. 242\\) As the votes came in, Truman took an early lead that he never lost. The leading radio commentators, such as [H. V. Kaltenborn](/wiki/H._V._Kaltenborn \"H. V. Kaltenborn\") of [NBC](/wiki/NBC \"NBC\"), still confidently predicted that once the \"late returns\" came in Dewey would overcome Truman's lead and win. At midnight, Truman awoke and turned on the radio in his room; he heard Kaltenborn announce that while Truman was still ahead in the popular vote, he could not possibly win. At 4 a.m., Truman awoke again and heard on the radio that his popular\\-vote lead was now nearly two million votes, and that he was well ahead in the electoral vote. He told the Secret Service agents guarding him to drive him back to Kansas City, \"because it looks as if we're in for another four years.\"(Manchester, p. 469\\) For the rest of his life, Truman would gleefully mimic Kaltenborn's staccato voice predicting his defeat throughout that election night. Dewey, meanwhile, realized that he was in trouble when early returns from [New England](/wiki/New_England \"New England\") and [New York](/wiki/New_York_%28state%29 \"New York (state)\") showed him running well behind his expected vote total. He stayed up for the rest of the night and early morning analyzing the votes as they came in, and by 10:30 a.m., he was convinced he had lost; at 11:14 a.m., he sent a gracious telegram of concession to Truman.(Ross, p. 240\\-243\\)",
"The pro\\-Republican *[Chicago Daily Tribune](/wiki/Chicago_Daily_Tribune \"Chicago Daily Tribune\")* was so certain of Dewey's victory that on Tuesday afternoon, before any polls closed, it printed \"[DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN](/wiki/Dewey_Defeats_Truman \"Dewey Defeats Truman\")\" as its banner headline for the following day. Part of the reason Truman's victory came as such a shock was because of uncorrected flaws in the emerging craft of public opinion polling. According to historian [William Manchester](/wiki/William_Manchester \"William Manchester\"), \"many professional pollsters \\[...] believed in what some had come to call [Farley's Law](/wiki/James_A._Farley \"James A. Farley\").\" James Farley, President Franklin Roosevelt's successful campaign manager in 1932 and 1936, had stated that, in his opinion, the great majority of voters decided which candidate to support during the political conventions. The fall campaigns, Farley believed, were simply \"ineffective carnivals\" that swayed few voters. In 1948 many pollsters, relying on Farley's Law, believed that the election was effectively over after the Republican and Democratic conventions, and they discounted the impact of Truman's campaigning that fall.",
"Manchester noted that \"Gallup's September 24 report foresaw 46\\.5% for Dewey to 38% for Truman. His last column, appearing in the Sunday papers two days before the election, showed Truman gaining sharply – to 44% – and the interviews on which it was based had been conducted two weeks earlier. The national mood was shifting daily, almost hourly.\" After the election, a study by the University of Michigan revealed that \"14% of Truman's voters, or 3,374,800, had decided to vote for him in the last fortnight of the campaign.\"(Manchester, p. 471\\) Gallup and Roper also did an analysis of the votes; they \"learned that one voter in every seven (6,927,000\\), made up his mind in the last two weeks before the election. Of these, 75 percent picked Truman\", which was more than his margin of victory over Dewey. \"Using either the Michigan figures or Gallup\\-Roper's, one finds that some 3,300,000 fence\\-sitters determined the outcome of the race in its closing days – when Dewey's instincts were urging him to adopt Truman's hell\\-for\\-leather style and slug it out with him, and when he didn't because all the experts told him he shouldn't.\"",
"The key states in the 1948 election were Ohio, California, and Illinois. Truman won each of these states by less than 1 percentage point; they gave him a total of 78 electoral votes. Had Dewey carried all three states \\- which would have required a shift of just 29,000 votes \\- he would have won the election in the [Electoral College](/wiki/Electoral_College_%28United_States%29 \"Electoral College (United States)\") despite losing the popular vote by 2\\.13 million votes (or 4\\.36%). If Dewey had won any two of the three, no nominee would have reached the 266 electoral votes required for election, and the Dixiecrats would have succeeded in their goal of forcing the election into the House of Representatives.",
"The extreme closeness of the vote in these three states was the major reason why Dewey waited until late on the morning of November 3 to concede defeat. Aside from Ohio, California, and Illinois, Truman carried Idaho by almost as narrow a margin, and Dewey himself countered with similarly narrow victories in New York (the nation's largest electoral prize at the time), his birth state of Michigan, and Maryland. But this was too little to give him the election. Dewey would always believe that he lost the election because he lost the [rural](/wiki/Rural_area \"Rural area\") vote in the Midwest, which he had won in 1944 {{failed verification span\\|text\\=(note the Kaltenborn predictions that Truman would joyously mock had taken for granted that the \"country vote\" would go to Dewey)\\|date\\=April 2024}}.{{Cite web \\|url\\=http://www.americanheritage.com/articles/magazine/ah/1968/4/1968\\_4\\_22\\.shtml \\|title\\=americanheritage.com \\|access\\-date\\=November 8, 2008 \\|archive\\-url\\=https://web.archive.org/web/20081207041433/http://www.americanheritage.com/articles/magazine/ah/1968/4/1968\\_4\\_22\\.shtml \\|archive\\-date\\=December 7, 2008 \\|url\\-status\\=dead \\|df\\=mdy\\-all }}",

"Journalist [Samuel Lubell](/wiki/Samuel_Lubell \"Samuel Lubell\") found in his post\\-1948 survey of voters that Truman, not Dewey, seemed the safer, more conservative candidate to the \"new middle class\" that had developed over the previous 20 years. He wrote that \"to an appreciable part of the electorate, the Democrats had replaced the Republicans as the party of prosperity\" during and after the war. Lubell quoted a man who, when asked why he did not vote Republican after moving to the suburbs, answered \"I own a nice home, have a new car and am much better off than my parents were. I've been a Democrat all my life. Why should I change?\" Dewey's promise of a \"great house cleaning\" in Washington worried an Iowa minister who wanted to retain [farm subsidies](/wiki/US_farm_subsidies \"US farm subsidies\") for parishioners; worried about the consequences of another depression, he voted Democratic for the first time in his church's history. Truman received a record number of [Catholic votes](/wiki/Catholic_Church_and_politics_in_the_United_States \"Catholic Church and politics in the United States\"), exceeding even the Catholic support of [Al Smith](/wiki/Al_Smith \"Al Smith\") in [1928](/wiki/1928_United_States_presidential_election \"1928 United States presidential election\"), in part because Wallace drew leftists away from the Democrats.{{cite book \\| title\\=The Future of American Politics \\| publisher\\=Anchor Press \\| author\\=Lubell, Samuel \\| year\\=1956 \\| pages\\=62–63,170–172,224–227 \\| edition\\=2nd\\|ol \\= 6193934M}}",
"Another reason for Dewey's surprise defeat was his complacent, distant approach to the campaign, and his failure to respond to Truman's attacks. Journalist Jules Abels wrote that \"the election was not thrown away by indifference or lack of effort. Preparation and more preparation had always been the distinguishing characteristic of Dewey and his team throughout his career...The truth is that Dewey's campaign was the result not of careless, but too careful and painstaking, calculation. The Dewey campaign was frozen into inertia not because it had been underthought, but because it had been overthought.\"(Abels, p. 142\\)",
"Other possible factors for Truman's victory included his aggressive, populist campaign style; broad public approval of Truman's foreign policy, notably the [Berlin Airlift](/wiki/Berlin_Blockade%23The_start_of_the_Berlin_Airlift \"Berlin Blockade#The start of the Berlin Airlift\") of that year; and widespread dissatisfaction with the institution Truman labeled as the \"do\\-nothing, good\\-for\\-nothing 80th Republican Congress.\" In addition, after suffering a relatively severe recession in 1946 and 1947 (in which real GDP dropped by 12% and inflation went over 15%), the economy began recovering throughout 1948\\. The year 1948 was a banner year for the Democrats, as they not only retained the presidency but also recaptured both houses of Congress. It was also an unprecedented fifth consecutive presidential victory for the party, thus continuing what remains the only winning streak of more than two presidential elections by the Democratic Party since the [Civil War](/wiki/American_Civil_War \"American Civil War\"). Since 1948, there has been [only one](/wiki/US_presidential_election%2C_1988 \"US presidential election, 1988\") streak of three consecutive presidential victories by any party (in that case, by the Republicans).",
"The two largest third parties did not hurt Truman nearly as much as expected, as Thurmond's Dixiecrats carried only four Southern states, fewer than predicted, and all of which listed Thurmond as the official Democratic candidate; Thurmond did not come close to carrying any of the other states in which he ran, with his best showing among these being second place with 20\\.3% of the vote in Georgia. The Dixiecrats also failed to draw off enough Truman voters to throw any of his states to Dewey, with the nearest they came in this regard being in Virginia, where the 25\\.0% margin won by Roosevelt in 1944 was reduced to 6\\.9% this time. The civil rights platform helped Truman win large majorities among black voters in the populous Northern and Midwestern states, and may well have made the difference for Truman in states such as Illinois and Ohio.{{cite news \\|last1\\=Johnson \\|first1\\=Theodore R. \\|last2\\=Prints \\|first2\\=Posters by Kennedy \\|title\\=How the Black Vote Became a Political Monolith \\|url\\=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/16/magazine/black\\-vote.html \\|website\\=The New York Times \\|date\\=September 16, 2020}} Wallace's Progressives received only 2\\.4% of the national popular vote, well below their expected vote total and slightly less than the Dixiecrats, and Wallace did not take as many liberal votes from Truman as many political [pundits](/wiki/Pundit_%28expert%29 \"Pundit (expert)\") had predicted. Some analysts, including author Zachary Karabell, have even argued that the separate candidacies of Wallace and Thurmond were beneficial to Truman by removing the separate taints of [communism](/wiki/Communism \"Communism\") and [racism](/wiki/Racism \"Racism\") from the Democratic Party. The split of the Democratic party, while failing to defeat Truman, did hold the Democrats back in several narrow states. Had the Wallace and Thurmond vote been in the Democratic column, Truman would have won all the Thurmond states (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and South Carolina), and the Wallace vote would have flipped Michigan, Maryland and New York into Truman's states. Winning these states would have put Truman at 416 electoral votes to Dewey's reduced 115 electoral votes. This still would have been a decline of Democratic electoral votes since 1940 but percentage\\-wise Truman would have gotten 54\\.33% of the popular vote, an increase of 0\\.94% from Roosevelt's last victory.",

It was also the last election until 1964 in which South Carolina did not vote for the official Democratic nominee.

On election night, Dewey, his family, and campaign staff confidently gathered in the [Roosevelt Hotel](/wiki/The_Roosevelt_Hotel_%28New_York%29 "The Roosevelt Hotel (New York)") in [New York City](/wiki/New_York_City "New York City") to await the returns.(Ross, p. 241\) Truman, aided by the [Secret Service](/wiki/United_States_Secret_Service "United States Secret Service"), snuck away from reporters covering him in [Kansas City](/wiki/Kansas_City%2C_Missouri "Kansas City, Missouri") and rode to nearby [Excelsior Springs, Missouri](/wiki/Excelsior_Springs%2C_Missouri "Excelsior Springs, Missouri"). There, he took a room in the historic [Elms Hotel](/wiki/Elms_Hotel_%28Excelsior_Springs%2C_Missouri%29 "Elms Hotel (Excelsior Springs, Missouri)"), had dinner and a [Turkish bath](/wiki/Turkish_bath "Turkish bath"), and went to sleep.(Ross, p. 242\) As the votes came in, Truman took an early lead that he never lost. The leading radio commentators, such as [H. V. Kaltenborn](/wiki/H._V._Kaltenborn "H. V. Kaltenborn") of [NBC](/wiki/NBC "NBC"), still confidently predicted that once the "late returns" came in Dewey would overcome Truman's lead and win. At midnight, Truman awoke and turned on the radio in his room; he heard Kaltenborn announce that while Truman was still ahead in the popular vote, he could not possibly win. At 4 a.m., Truman awoke again and heard on the radio that his popular\-vote lead was now nearly two million votes, and that he was well ahead in the electoral vote. He told the Secret Service agents guarding him to drive him back to Kansas City, "because it looks as if we're in for another four years."(Manchester, p. 469\) For the rest of his life, Truman would gleefully mimic Kaltenborn's staccato voice predicting his defeat throughout that election night. Dewey, meanwhile, realized that he was in trouble when early returns from [New England](/wiki/New_England "New England") and [New York](/wiki/New_York_%28state%29 "New York (state)") showed him running well behind his expected vote total. He stayed up for the rest of the night and early morning analyzing the votes as they came in, and by 10:30 a.m., he was convinced he had lost; at 11:14 a.m., he sent a gracious telegram of concession to Truman.(Ross, p. 240\-243\)
The pro\-Republican *[Chicago Daily Tribune](/wiki/Chicago_Daily_Tribune "Chicago Daily Tribune")* was so certain of Dewey's victory that on Tuesday afternoon, before any polls closed, it printed "[DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN](/wiki/Dewey_Defeats_Truman "Dewey Defeats Truman")" as its banner headline for the following day. Part of the reason Truman's victory came as such a shock was because of uncorrected flaws in the emerging craft of public opinion polling. According to historian [William Manchester](/wiki/William_Manchester "William Manchester"), "many professional pollsters \[...] believed in what some had come to call [Farley's Law](/wiki/James_A._Farley "James A. Farley")." James Farley, President Franklin Roosevelt's successful campaign manager in 1932 and 1936, had stated that, in his opinion, the great majority of voters decided which candidate to support during the political conventions. The fall campaigns, Farley believed, were simply "ineffective carnivals" that swayed few voters. In 1948 many pollsters, relying on Farley's Law, believed that the election was effectively over after the Republican and Democratic conventions, and they discounted the impact of Truman's campaigning that fall.
Manchester noted that "Gallup's September 24 report foresaw 46\.5% for Dewey to 38% for Truman. His last column, appearing in the Sunday papers two days before the election, showed Truman gaining sharply – to 44% – and the interviews on which it was based had been conducted two weeks earlier. The national mood was shifting daily, almost hourly." After the election, a study by the University of Michigan revealed that "14% of Truman's voters, or 3,374,800, had decided to vote for him in the last fortnight of the campaign."(Manchester, p. 471\) Gallup and Roper also did an analysis of the votes; they "learned that one voter in every seven (6,927,000\), made up his mind in the last two weeks before the election. Of these, 75 percent picked Truman", which was more than his margin of victory over Dewey. "Using either the Michigan figures or Gallup\-Roper's, one finds that some 3,300,000 fence\-sitters determined the outcome of the race in its closing days – when Dewey's instincts were urging him to adopt Truman's hell\-for\-leather style and slug it out with him, and when he didn't because all the experts told him he shouldn't."
The key states in the 1948 election were Ohio, California, and Illinois. Truman won each of these states by less than 1 percentage point; they gave him a total of 78 electoral votes. Had Dewey carried all three states \- which would have required a shift of just 29,000 votes \- he would have won the election in the [Electoral College](/wiki/Electoral_College_%28United_States%29 "Electoral College (United States)") despite losing the popular vote by 2\.13 million votes (or 4\.36%). If Dewey had won any two of the three, no nominee would have reached the 266 electoral votes required for election, and the Dixiecrats would have succeeded in their goal of forcing the election into the House of Representatives.
The extreme closeness of the vote in these three states was the major reason why Dewey waited until late on the morning of November 3 to concede defeat. Aside from Ohio, California, and Illinois, Truman carried Idaho by almost as narrow a margin, and Dewey himself countered with similarly narrow victories in New York (the nation's largest electoral prize at the time), his birth state of Michigan, and Maryland. But this was too little to give him the election. Dewey would always believe that he lost the election because he lost the [rural](/wiki/Rural_area "Rural area") vote in the Midwest, which he had won in 1944 {{failed verification span\|text\=(note the Kaltenborn predictions that Truman would joyously mock had taken for granted that the "country vote" would go to Dewey)\|date\=April 2024}}.{{Cite web \|url\=http://www.americanheritage.com/articles/magazine/ah/1968/4/1968\_4\_22\.shtml \|title\=americanheritage.com \|access\-date\=November 8, 2008 \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20081207041433/http://www.americanheritage.com/articles/magazine/ah/1968/4/1968\_4\_22\.shtml \|archive\-date\=December 7, 2008 \|url\-status\=dead \|df\=mdy\-all }}
Of the 3,096 counties/independent cities making returns, Truman won the most popular votes in 1,639 (52\.94%) while Dewey carried 1,190 (38\.44%). Thurmond prevailed in 265 counties (8\.56%) while two counties (0\.06%) in South Dakota split evenly between Truman and Dewey.
Truman's net vote totals in the twelve largest cities, which was around 1,481,000, had decreased by 750,000 from Roosevelt's results in the 1944 election, which was around 2,230,000\.{{cite book \|last\=Murphy \|first\=Paul \|date\=1974 \|title\=Political Parties In American History, Volume 3, 1890\-present \|publisher\=\[\[G. P. Putnam's Sons]]}} If all of the votes Wallace received went to Truman then only the states of Maryland, Michigan, and New York would have flipped.{{sfn\|Schmidt\|1960\|p\=233}}
Journalist [Samuel Lubell](/wiki/Samuel_Lubell "Samuel Lubell") found in his post\-1948 survey of voters that Truman, not Dewey, seemed the safer, more conservative candidate to the "new middle class" that had developed over the previous 20 years. He wrote that "to an appreciable part of the electorate, the Democrats had replaced the Republicans as the party of prosperity" during and after the war. Lubell quoted a man who, when asked why he did not vote Republican after moving to the suburbs, answered "I own a nice home, have a new car and am much better off than my parents were. I've been a Democrat all my life. Why should I change?" Dewey's promise of a "great house cleaning" in Washington worried an Iowa minister who wanted to retain [farm subsidies](/wiki/US_farm_subsidies "US farm subsidies") for parishioners; worried about the consequences of another depression, he voted Democratic for the first time in his church's history. Truman received a record number of [Catholic votes](/wiki/Catholic_Church_and_politics_in_the_United_States "Catholic Church and politics in the United States"), exceeding even the Catholic support of [Al Smith](/wiki/Al_Smith "Al Smith") in [1928](/wiki/1928_United_States_presidential_election "1928 United States presidential election"), in part because Wallace drew leftists away from the Democrats.{{cite book \| title\=The Future of American Politics \| publisher\=Anchor Press \| author\=Lubell, Samuel \| year\=1956 \| pages\=62–63,170–172,224–227 \| edition\=2nd\|ol \= 6193934M}}
Another reason for Dewey's surprise defeat was his complacent, distant approach to the campaign, and his failure to respond to Truman's attacks. Journalist Jules Abels wrote that "the election was not thrown away by indifference or lack of effort. Preparation and more preparation had always been the distinguishing characteristic of Dewey and his team throughout his career...The truth is that Dewey's campaign was the result not of careless, but too careful and painstaking, calculation. The Dewey campaign was frozen into inertia not because it had been underthought, but because it had been overthought."(Abels, p. 142\)
Other possible factors for Truman's victory included his aggressive, populist campaign style; broad public approval of Truman's foreign policy, notably the [Berlin Airlift](/wiki/Berlin_Blockade%23The_start_of_the_Berlin_Airlift "Berlin Blockade#The start of the Berlin Airlift") of that year; and widespread dissatisfaction with the institution Truman labeled as the "do\-nothing, good\-for\-nothing 80th Republican Congress." In addition, after suffering a relatively severe recession in 1946 and 1947 (in which real GDP dropped by 12% and inflation went over 15%), the economy began recovering throughout 1948\. The year 1948 was a banner year for the Democrats, as they not only retained the presidency but also recaptured both houses of Congress. It was also an unprecedented fifth consecutive presidential victory for the party, thus continuing what remains the only winning streak of more than two presidential elections by the Democratic Party since the [Civil War](/wiki/American_Civil_War "American Civil War"). Since 1948, there has been [only one](/wiki/US_presidential_election%2C_1988 "US presidential election, 1988") streak of three consecutive presidential victories by any party (in that case, by the Republicans).
The two largest third parties did not hurt Truman nearly as much as expected, as Thurmond's Dixiecrats carried only four Southern states, fewer than predicted, and all of which listed Thurmond as the official Democratic candidate; Thurmond did not come close to carrying any of the other states in which he ran, with his best showing among these being second place with 20\.3% of the vote in Georgia. The Dixiecrats also failed to draw off enough Truman voters to throw any of his states to Dewey, with the nearest they came in this regard being in Virginia, where the 25\.0% margin won by Roosevelt in 1944 was reduced to 6\.9% this time. The civil rights platform helped Truman win large majorities among black voters in the populous Northern and Midwestern states, and may well have made the difference for Truman in states such as Illinois and Ohio.{{cite news \|last1\=Johnson \|first1\=Theodore R. \|last2\=Prints \|first2\=Posters by Kennedy \|title\=How the Black Vote Became a Political Monolith \|url\=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/16/magazine/black\-vote.html \|website\=The New York Times \|date\=September 16, 2020}} Wallace's Progressives received only 2\.4% of the national popular vote, well below their expected vote total and slightly less than the Dixiecrats, and Wallace did not take as many liberal votes from Truman as many political [pundits](/wiki/Pundit_%28expert%29 "Pundit (expert)") had predicted. Some analysts, including author Zachary Karabell, have even argued that the separate candidacies of Wallace and Thurmond were beneficial to Truman by removing the separate taints of [communism](/wiki/Communism "Communism") and [racism](/wiki/Racism "Racism") from the Democratic Party. The split of the Democratic party, while failing to defeat Truman, did hold the Democrats back in several narrow states. Had the Wallace and Thurmond vote been in the Democratic column, Truman would have won all the Thurmond states (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and South Carolina), and the Wallace vote would have flipped Michigan, Maryland and New York into Truman's states. Winning these states would have put Truman at 416 electoral votes to Dewey's reduced 115 electoral votes. This still would have been a decline of Democratic electoral votes since 1940 but percentage\-wise Truman would have gotten 54\.33% of the popular vote, an increase of 0\.94% from Roosevelt's last victory.
This was the last election until [1996](/wiki/1996_United_States_presidential_election "1996 United States presidential election") in which the Democrats won Arizona and the last until [1964](/wiki/1964_United_States_presidential_election "1964 United States presidential election") in which they won California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. It was also the last election until 1964 in which South Carolina did not vote for the official Democratic nominee. Thurmond's 2\.4% is the lowest popular vote percentage for a candidate who won all of a state's electoral votes.{{cite news \|title\=Evan McMullin Could Set Mark for Weakest National Popular Vote by Candidate to Win a State \|newspaper\=Smart Politics \|url\=http://editions.lib.umn.edu/smartpolitics/2016/10/13/evan\-mcmullin\-could\-set\-mark\-for\-weakest\-national\-popular\-vote\-by\-candidate\-to\-win\-a\-state/ \|date\=October 13, 2016 \|last1\=Ostermeier \|first1\=Eric }} The 1948 presidential election contrasted with other elections across the world during this period, for Truman was a [war leader](/wiki/Allied_leaders_of_World_War_II "Allied leaders of World War II") who managed to win election ([Churchill](/wiki/Winston_Churchill "Winston Churchill") and [De Gaulle](/wiki/Charles_de_Gaulle "Charles de Gaulle") both left office shortly after the end of the war).{{cite web \|title\=History of Sir Winston Churchill \|url\=https://www.gov.uk/government/history/past\-prime\-ministers/winston\-churchill \|website\=www.gov.uk}}{{cite web \|title\=Charles de Gaulle \|url\=https://www.biographyonline.net/politicians/charles\_de\_gaulle.html \|website\=Biography Online}} This was the first election since 1836 in which a Democratic presidential candidate won the presidency without South Carolina, and the first ever in which a Democrat won the presidency without Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi. Furthermore, this is the last time a Democratic presidential candidate won without New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware. It is also the first of two occasions since 1916 that Oregon and Washington did not support the same party (the other being in 1968\). This election is the only time since 1888 that New Jersey and Illinois did not support the same party.

"[thumb\\|Famous photograph of Truman grinning and holding up a copy of the newspaper that [erroneously announced his defeat](/wiki/Dewey_Defeats_Truman \"Dewey Defeats Truman\").](/wiki/File:Dewey_Defeats_Truman.jpg \"Dewey Defeats Truman.jpg\")\nOn election night, Dewey, his family, and campaign staff confidently gathered in the [Roosevelt Hotel](/wiki/The_Roosevelt_Hotel_%28New_York%29 \"The Roosevelt Hotel (New York)\") in [New York City](/wiki/New_York_City \"New York City\") to await the returns.(Ross, p. 241\\) Truman, aided by the [Secret Service](/wiki/United_States_Secret_Service \"United States Secret Service\"), snuck away from reporters covering him in [Kansas City](/wiki/Kansas_City%2C_Missouri \"Kansas City, Missouri\") and rode to nearby [Excelsior Springs, Missouri](/wiki/Excelsior_Springs%2C_Missouri \"Excelsior Springs, Missouri\"). There, he took a room in the historic [Elms Hotel](/wiki/Elms_Hotel_%28Excelsior_Springs%2C_Missouri%29 \"Elms Hotel (Excelsior Springs, Missouri)\"), had dinner and a [Turkish bath](/wiki/Turkish_bath \"Turkish bath\"), and went to sleep.(Ross, p. 242\\) As the votes came in, Truman took an early lead that he never lost. The leading radio commentators, such as [H. V. Kaltenborn](/wiki/H._V._Kaltenborn \"H. V. Kaltenborn\") of [NBC](/wiki/NBC \"NBC\"), still confidently predicted that once the \"late returns\" came in Dewey would overcome Truman's lead and win. At midnight, Truman awoke and turned on the radio in his room; he heard Kaltenborn announce that while Truman was still ahead in the popular vote, he could not possibly win. At 4 a.m., Truman awoke again and heard on the radio that his popular\\-vote lead was now nearly two million votes, and that he was well ahead in the electoral vote. He told the Secret Service agents guarding him to drive him back to Kansas City, \"because it looks as if we're in for another four years.\"(Manchester, p. 469\\) For the rest of his life, Truman would gleefully mimic Kaltenborn's staccato voice predicting his defeat throughout that election night. Dewey, meanwhile, realized that he was in trouble when early returns from [New England](/wiki/New_England \"New England\") and [New York](/wiki/New_York_%28state%29 \"New York (state)\") showed him running well behind his expected vote total. He stayed up for the rest of the night and early morning analyzing the votes as they came in, and by 10:30 a.m., he was convinced he had lost; at 11:14 a.m., he sent a gracious telegram of concession to Truman.(Ross, p. 240\\-243\\)",
"The pro\\-Republican *[Chicago Daily Tribune](/wiki/Chicago_Daily_Tribune \"Chicago Daily Tribune\")* was so certain of Dewey's victory that on Tuesday afternoon, before any polls closed, it printed \"[DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN](/wiki/Dewey_Defeats_Truman \"Dewey Defeats Truman\")\" as its banner headline for the following day. Part of the reason Truman's victory came as such a shock was because of uncorrected flaws in the emerging craft of public opinion polling. According to historian [William Manchester](/wiki/William_Manchester \"William Manchester\"), \"many professional pollsters \\[...] believed in what some had come to call [Farley's Law](/wiki/James_A._Farley \"James A. Farley\").\" James Farley, President Franklin Roosevelt's successful campaign manager in 1932 and 1936, had stated that, in his opinion, the great majority of voters decided which candidate to support during the political conventions. The fall campaigns, Farley believed, were simply \"ineffective carnivals\" that swayed few voters. In 1948 many pollsters, relying on Farley's Law, believed that the election was effectively over after the Republican and Democratic conventions, and they discounted the impact of Truman's campaigning that fall.",
"Manchester noted that \"Gallup's September 24 report foresaw 46\\.5% for Dewey to 38% for Truman. His last column, appearing in the Sunday papers two days before the election, showed Truman gaining sharply – to 44% – and the interviews on which it was based had been conducted two weeks earlier. The national mood was shifting daily, almost hourly.\" After the election, a study by the University of Michigan revealed that \"14% of Truman's voters, or 3,374,800, had decided to vote for him in the last fortnight of the campaign.\"(Manchester, p. 471\\) Gallup and Roper also did an analysis of the votes; they \"learned that one voter in every seven (6,927,000\\), made up his mind in the last two weeks before the election. Of these, 75 percent picked Truman\", which was more than his margin of victory over Dewey. \"Using either the Michigan figures or Gallup\\-Roper's, one finds that some 3,300,000 fence\\-sitters determined the outcome of the race in its closing days – when Dewey's instincts were urging him to adopt Truman's hell\\-for\\-leather style and slug it out with him, and when he didn't because all the experts told him he shouldn't.\"",
"The key states in the 1948 election were Ohio, California, and Illinois. Truman won each of these states by less than 1 percentage point; they gave him a total of 78 electoral votes. Had Dewey carried all three states \\- which would have required a shift of just 29,000 votes \\- he would have won the election in the [Electoral College](/wiki/Electoral_College_%28United_States%29 \"Electoral College (United States)\") despite losing the popular vote by 2\\.13 million votes (or 4\\.36%). If Dewey had won any two of the three, no nominee would have reached the 266 electoral votes required for election, and the Dixiecrats would have succeeded in their goal of forcing the election into the House of Representatives.",
"The extreme closeness of the vote in these three states was the major reason why Dewey waited until late on the morning of November 3 to concede defeat. Aside from Ohio, California, and Illinois, Truman carried Idaho by almost as narrow a margin, and Dewey himself countered with similarly narrow victories in New York (the nation's largest electoral prize at the time), his birth state of Michigan, and Maryland. But this was too little to give him the election. Dewey would always believe that he lost the election because he lost the [rural](/wiki/Rural_area \"Rural area\") vote in the Midwest, which he had won in 1944 {{failed verification span\\|text\\=(note the Kaltenborn predictions that Truman would joyously mock had taken for granted that the \"country vote\" would go to Dewey)\\|date\\=April 2024}}.{{Cite web \\|url\\=http://www.americanheritage.com/articles/magazine/ah/1968/4/1968\\_4\\_22\\.shtml \\|title\\=americanheritage.com \\|access\\-date\\=November 8, 2008 \\|archive\\-url\\=https://web.archive.org/web/20081207041433/http://www.americanheritage.com/articles/magazine/ah/1968/4/1968\\_4\\_22\\.shtml \\|archive\\-date\\=December 7, 2008 \\|url\\-status\\=dead \\|df\\=mdy\\-all }}",
"Of the 3,096 counties/independent cities making returns, Truman won the most popular votes in 1,639 (52\\.94%) while Dewey carried 1,190 (38\\.44%). Thurmond prevailed in 265 counties (8\\.56%) while two counties (0\\.06%) in South Dakota split evenly between Truman and Dewey.",
"Truman's net vote totals in the twelve largest cities, which was around 1,481,000, had decreased by 750,000 from Roosevelt's results in the 1944 election, which was around 2,230,000\\.{{cite book \\|last\\=Murphy \\|first\\=Paul \\|date\\=1974 \\|title\\=Political Parties In American History, Volume 3, 1890\\-present \\|publisher\\=\\[\\[G. P. Putnam's Sons]]}} If all of the votes Wallace received went to Truman then only the states of Maryland, Michigan, and New York would have flipped.{{sfn\\|Schmidt\\|1960\\|p\\=233}}",
"Journalist [Samuel Lubell](/wiki/Samuel_Lubell \"Samuel Lubell\") found in his post\\-1948 survey of voters that Truman, not Dewey, seemed the safer, more conservative candidate to the \"new middle class\" that had developed over the previous 20 years. He wrote that \"to an appreciable part of the electorate, the Democrats had replaced the Republicans as the party of prosperity\" during and after the war. Lubell quoted a man who, when asked why he did not vote Republican after moving to the suburbs, answered \"I own a nice home, have a new car and am much better off than my parents were. I've been a Democrat all my life. Why should I change?\" Dewey's promise of a \"great house cleaning\" in Washington worried an Iowa minister who wanted to retain [farm subsidies](/wiki/US_farm_subsidies \"US farm subsidies\") for parishioners; worried about the consequences of another depression, he voted Democratic for the first time in his church's history. Truman received a record number of [Catholic votes](/wiki/Catholic_Church_and_politics_in_the_United_States \"Catholic Church and politics in the United States\"), exceeding even the Catholic support of [Al Smith](/wiki/Al_Smith \"Al Smith\") in [1928](/wiki/1928_United_States_presidential_election \"1928 United States presidential election\"), in part because Wallace drew leftists away from the Democrats.{{cite book \\| title\\=The Future of American Politics \\| publisher\\=Anchor Press \\| author\\=Lubell, Samuel \\| year\\=1956 \\| pages\\=62–63,170–172,224–227 \\| edition\\=2nd\\|ol \\= 6193934M}}",
"Another reason for Dewey's surprise defeat was his complacent, distant approach to the campaign, and his failure to respond to Truman's attacks. Journalist Jules Abels wrote that \"the election was not thrown away by indifference or lack of effort. Preparation and more preparation had always been the distinguishing characteristic of Dewey and his team throughout his career...The truth is that Dewey's campaign was the result not of careless, but too careful and painstaking, calculation. The Dewey campaign was frozen into inertia not because it had been underthought, but because it had been overthought.\"(Abels, p. 142\\)",
"Other possible factors for Truman's victory included his aggressive, populist campaign style; broad public approval of Truman's foreign policy, notably the [Berlin Airlift](/wiki/Berlin_Blockade%23The_start_of_the_Berlin_Airlift \"Berlin Blockade#The start of the Berlin Airlift\") of that year; and widespread dissatisfaction with the institution Truman labeled as the \"do\\-nothing, good\\-for\\-nothing 80th Republican Congress.\" In addition, after suffering a relatively severe recession in 1946 and 1947 (in which real GDP dropped by 12% and inflation went over 15%), the economy began recovering throughout 1948\\. The year 1948 was a banner year for the Democrats, as they not only retained the presidency but also recaptured both houses of Congress. It was also an unprecedented fifth consecutive presidential victory for the party, thus continuing what remains the only winning streak of more than two presidential elections by the Democratic Party since the [Civil War](/wiki/American_Civil_War \"American Civil War\"). Since 1948, there has been [only one](/wiki/US_presidential_election%2C_1988 \"US presidential election, 1988\") streak of three consecutive presidential victories by any party (in that case, by the Republicans).",
"The two largest third parties did not hurt Truman nearly as much as expected, as Thurmond's Dixiecrats carried only four Southern states, fewer than predicted, and all of which listed Thurmond as the official Democratic candidate; Thurmond did not come close to carrying any of the other states in which he ran, with his best showing among these being second place with 20\\.3% of the vote in Georgia. The Dixiecrats also failed to draw off enough Truman voters to throw any of his states to Dewey, with the nearest they came in this regard being in Virginia, where the 25\\.0% margin won by Roosevelt in 1944 was reduced to 6\\.9% this time. The civil rights platform helped Truman win large majorities among black voters in the populous Northern and Midwestern states, and may well have made the difference for Truman in states such as Illinois and Ohio.{{cite news \\|last1\\=Johnson \\|first1\\=Theodore R. \\|last2\\=Prints \\|first2\\=Posters by Kennedy \\|title\\=How the Black Vote Became a Political Monolith \\|url\\=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/16/magazine/black\\-vote.html \\|website\\=The New York Times \\|date\\=September 16, 2020}} Wallace's Progressives received only 2\\.4% of the national popular vote, well below their expected vote total and slightly less than the Dixiecrats, and Wallace did not take as many liberal votes from Truman as many political [pundits](/wiki/Pundit_%28expert%29 \"Pundit (expert)\") had predicted. Some analysts, including author Zachary Karabell, have even argued that the separate candidacies of Wallace and Thurmond were beneficial to Truman by removing the separate taints of [communism](/wiki/Communism \"Communism\") and [racism](/wiki/Racism \"Racism\") from the Democratic Party. The split of the Democratic party, while failing to defeat Truman, did hold the Democrats back in several narrow states. Had the Wallace and Thurmond vote been in the Democratic column, Truman would have won all the Thurmond states (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and South Carolina), and the Wallace vote would have flipped Michigan, Maryland and New York into Truman's states. Winning these states would have put Truman at 416 electoral votes to Dewey's reduced 115 electoral votes. This still would have been a decline of Democratic electoral votes since 1940 but percentage\\-wise Truman would have gotten 54\\.33% of the popular vote, an increase of 0\\.94% from Roosevelt's last victory.",
"This was the last election until [1996](/wiki/1996_United_States_presidential_election \"1996 United States presidential election\") in which the Democrats won Arizona and the last until [1964](/wiki/1964_United_States_presidential_election \"1964 United States presidential election\") in which they won California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. It was also the last election until 1964 in which South Carolina did not vote for the official Democratic nominee. Thurmond's 2\\.4% is the lowest popular vote percentage for a candidate who won all of a state's electoral votes.{{cite news \\|title\\=Evan McMullin Could Set Mark for Weakest National Popular Vote by Candidate to Win a State \\|newspaper\\=Smart Politics \\|url\\=http://editions.lib.umn.edu/smartpolitics/2016/10/13/evan\\-mcmullin\\-could\\-set\\-mark\\-for\\-weakest\\-national\\-popular\\-vote\\-by\\-candidate\\-to\\-win\\-a\\-state/ \\|date\\=October 13, 2016 \\|last1\\=Ostermeier \\|first1\\=Eric }} The 1948 presidential election contrasted with other elections across the world during this period, for Truman was a [war leader](/wiki/Allied_leaders_of_World_War_II \"Allied leaders of World War II\") who managed to win election ([Churchill](/wiki/Winston_Churchill \"Winston Churchill\") and [De Gaulle](/wiki/Charles_de_Gaulle \"Charles de Gaulle\") both left office shortly after the end of the war).{{cite web \\|title\\=History of Sir Winston Churchill \\|url\\=https://www.gov.uk/government/history/past\\-prime\\-ministers/winston\\-churchill \\|website\\=www.gov.uk}}{{cite web \\|title\\=Charles de Gaulle \\|url\\=https://www.biographyonline.net/politicians/charles\\_de\\_gaulle.html \\|website\\=Biography Online}} This was the first election since 1836 in which a Democratic presidential candidate won the presidency without South Carolina, and the first ever in which a Democrat won the presidency without Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi. Furthermore, this is the last time a Democratic presidential candidate won without New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware. It is also the first of two occasions since 1916 that Oregon and Washington did not support the same party (the other being in 1968\\). This election is the only time since 1888 that New Jersey and Illinois did not support the same party.",

According to legend, a [maidservant](/wiki/Maid "Maid") was hanged right in front of the house in 1735, being falsely accused of stealing a silver spoon. From 1742 on the building belonged to the early statistician [Johann Peter Süßmilch](/wiki/Johann_Peter_S%C3%BCssmilch "Johann Peter Süssmilch"), at this time [provost](/wiki/Provost_%28religion%29 "Provost (religion)") of the Saint Peter's Church. The neighbouring building, built in 1905, is home of the Berlin representation of the [Federal State](/wiki/States_of_Germany "States of Germany") of [Saxony](/wiki/Saxony "Saxony").
Nearby the *Sperlingsgasse* branches off, where the novelist [Wilhelm Raabe](/wiki/Wilhelm_Raabe "Wilhelm Raabe") lived from 1854 to 1856 and published his popular work *[Die Chronik der Sperlingsgasse](/wiki/The_Chronicle_of_Sparrow_Lane "The Chronicle of Sparrow Lane")*. The small alley, at this time the *Spreegasse*, was renamed in 1931 on occasion of the author's hundredth anniversary. All former buildings on this street were demolished about 1960\.
The northern part of the *Brüderstraße* today is covered by the 1964 building of the former [Staatsrat](/wiki/Staatsrat "Staatsrat") of the [German Democratic Republic](/wiki/German_Democratic_Republic "German Democratic Republic"). The façade at the *[Schloßplatz](/wiki/Schlo%C3%9Fplatz_%28Berlin%29 "Schloßplatz (Berlin)")* square includes the preserved [portal](/wiki/Portal_%28architecture%29 "Portal (architecture)") No. IV of the [Hohenzollern](/wiki/House_of_Hohenzollern "House of Hohenzollern") [City Palace](/wiki/Stadtschloss%2C_Berlin "Stadtschloss, Berlin"), where [Karl Liebknecht](/wiki/Karl_Liebknecht "Karl Liebknecht") on 9 November 1918 declared a free socialist republic of Germany. After [German reunification](/wiki/German_reunification "German reunification") the building served as the [Chancellery](/wiki/German_Chancellery "German Chancellery") from 1999 to 2001\. Today it houses the [European School of Management and Technology](/wiki/European_School_of_Management_and_Technology "European School of Management and Technology") and the [Hertie School of Governance](/wiki/Hertie_School_of_Governance "Hertie School of Governance"). The area north of the *Schloßplatz* is the site of the historic City Palace. In accordance with a 2002 resolution by the federal [Bundestag](/wiki/Bundestag "Bundestag") parliament, the City Palace was rebuilt.
Parallel to the *Brüderstraße* runs the *Breite Straße* (Broad Street), Cölln's main street. At the corner of the *Schloßplatz* are the buildings of the Old and the New *Marstall* riding [stables](/wiki/Stable "Stable") of the [Electors of Brandenburg](/wiki/List_of_rulers_of_Brandenburg "List of rulers of Brandenburg"), built in 1670 and 1901\. Today the New *Marstall* is a seat of the [Hanns Eisler Conservatory](/wiki/Hochschule_f%C3%BCr_Musik_Hanns_Eisler "Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler"). On neighbouring *Breite Straße 35* is the late [Renaissance](/wiki/Renaissance_architecture "Renaissance architecture") *Ribbeckhaus* from 1624, one of Berlin's oldest preserved residential buildings, which since 1920 houses the Central and Regional [Library](/wiki/Public_library "Public library").
Three historic bridges connect Cölln with the 17th century extension of [Friedrichswerder](/wiki/Friedrichswerder "Friedrichswerder") on the western bank of the Spree river: the *Schleusenbrücke* (Sluice Bridge) at the *Schloßplatz*, a steel construction erected in 1916, the *Gertraudenbrücke* with the statue of Saint [Gertrude of Nivelles](/wiki/Gertrude_of_Nivelles "Gertrude of Nivelles") by the sculptor Rudolf Siemering from 1896 and the small *Jungfernbrücke* (Virgin's Bridge) built in 1798, Berlin's oldest and the only [bascule bridge](/wiki/Bascule_bridge "Bascule bridge") of the city.

Postbellum career
-----------------
Although a staunch friend and ally of [Abraham Lincoln](/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln "Abraham Lincoln"), when [Edwin Stanton](/wiki/Edwin_Stanton "Edwin Stanton") engaged in a post\-assassination flap with Ewing's brother\-in\-law [William T. Sherman](/wiki/William_Tecumseh_Sherman "William Tecumseh Sherman") over final surrender terms to the Southern armies, Ewing agreed to represent two of John Ford's (of Ford's theater) employees in the [Lincoln conspiracy trials](/wiki/Assassination_of_Abraham_Lincoln "Assassination of Abraham Lincoln"). Through [Orville Browning](/wiki/Orville_Browning "Orville Browning"), Ewing's Washington law partner, Dr. [Samuel Mudd](/wiki/Samuel_Mudd "Samuel Mudd")'s family also sought Ewing's legal help. Ewing also represented [Samuel Arnold](/wiki/Samuel_Arnold_%28Lincoln_conspirator%29 "Samuel Arnold (Lincoln conspirator)") and [Edmund Spangler](/wiki/Edmund_Spangler "Edmund Spangler") during the trial. Ewing's efforts kept all three men from the gallows, but other conspirators were hanged. For their roles in the assassination, Mudd, Arnold and Spangler were sentenced to federal prison at Fort Jefferson in the [Dry Tortugas](/wiki/Dry_Tortugas "Dry Tortugas") off [Key West, Florida](/wiki/Key_West%2C_Florida "Key West, Florida").
From 1865 to 1870, Ewing practiced law in [Washington, D.C.](/wiki/Washington%2C_D.C. "Washington, D.C."), helping southern interests with his influence in the Johnson Administration. The Ewing family was heavily involved in defending [Andrew Johnson](/wiki/Andrew_Johnson "Andrew Johnson") against radical impeachment efforts. He declined President Johnson's offers for him to become the [Secretary of War](/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_War "United States Secretary of War") during the Tenure in Office crisis. Ewing successfully lobbied the key vote against the impeachment of Andrew Johnson when he convinced his old comrade in arms, [Edmund G. Ross](/wiki/Edmund_G._Ross "Edmund G. Ross") of Kansas, to vote against impeachment. Ewing also was successful in obtaining a pardon for Mudd at the end of Johnson's term.
In 1870, he returned to his native [Lancaster, Ohio](/wiki/Lancaster%2C_Ohio "Lancaster, Ohio"), where he practiced for the next decade and attempted several business investments in railroads and telegraph companies. Ewing was a member of the Ohio state Constitutional Convention of 1873 – 74\.
### Congress
In 1876, he was elected as a Democrat to the [United States House of Representatives](/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives "United States House of Representatives") and was re\-elected in 1878, serving in the [45th](/wiki/Forty-fifth_United_States_Congress "Forty-fifth United States Congress") and [46th Congresses](/wiki/Forty-sixth_United_States_Congress "Forty-sixth United States Congress") from 1877 until 1881\. He prepared the bill establishing a Bureau of Labor Statistics, opposed the presence of U.S. soldiers at election polling places, and favored the re\-monetization of silver and the continuation of the use of [Greenback](/wiki/Greenback_%28money%29 "Greenback (money)") currency, becoming one of the leading national spokesmen for the [Greenback Party](/wiki/Greenback_Party "Greenback Party").
### Campaign for governor
In 1879, Ewing was defeated for election for [Governor of Ohio](/wiki/Governor_of_Ohio "Governor of Ohio") as the [Democratic](/wiki/Democratic_Party_%28United_States%29 "Democratic Party (United States)") candidate in a close election. There is scholarly controversy whether the use of [George Caleb Bingham](/wiki/George_Caleb_Bingham "George Caleb Bingham")'s painting *[General Order № 11](/wiki/General_Order_%E2%84%96_11_%281863%29 "General Order № 11 (1863)")* in the anti\-Ewing campaign made the difference in the election.For this analysis, see the discussion regarding the General order, linked in this paragraph.
On March 3, 1881, Ewing closed his second term as representative in Congress and moved to [New York](/wiki/New_York_%28state%29 "New York (state)") to resume his law career. He never ran for office again.
### Later career
Ewing was founder and first president of the [Ohio Society of New York](/wiki/Ohio_Society_of_New_York "Ohio Society of New York"), a trustee of [Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home](/wiki/Ohio_Soldiers%27_and_Sailors%27_Orphans%27_Home "Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home") (1874–78\), and a trustee of [Ohio University](/wiki/Ohio_University "Ohio University") (1878–83\). He served as Vice President of the [Cincinnati Law School](/wiki/Cincinnati_Law_School "Cincinnati Law School") in 1881\. Ewing made a notable address before the [Marietta](/wiki/Marietta%2C_Ohio "Marietta, Ohio") Centennial Convention of 1887, and one before the Kansas state bar association in 1890\. He also contributed an article entitled "The Struggle for Freedom in Kansas" to *The Cosmopolitan* in May 1894\. [Brown University](/wiki/Brown_University "Brown University"), by special vote in 1894, gave him the bachelor's degree dating back to the class of 1856\. [Georgetown College](/wiki/Georgetown_University "Georgetown University") gave him the degree of LL.D. in 1870\. Ewing was killed when struck by a [New York City](/wiki/New_York_City "New York City") omnibus driver in 1896\.{{Cite news \|title\=General Ewing's Untimely Death \|newspaper\=The New York Herald \|location\=New York City, New York, USA \|date\=22 January 1896 \|page\=14}} He is buried in the [Oakland Cemetery](/wiki/Oakland_Cemetery_%28Yonkers%2C_New_York%29 "Oakland Cemetery (Yonkers, New York)") in [Yonkers, New York](/wiki/Yonkers%2C_New_York "Yonkers, New York").

Oratorio
--------
The [libretto](/wiki/Libretto "Libretto") by [Charles Jennens](/wiki/Charles_Jennens "Charles Jennens") is drawn from the Bible: mostly from the [Old Testament](/wiki/Old_Testament "Old Testament") of the [King James Bible](/wiki/Authorized_King_James_Version "Authorized King James Version"), but with several [psalms](/wiki/Psalms "Psalms") taken from the [Book of Common Prayer](/wiki/Book_of_Common_Prayer "Book of Common Prayer"). Regarding the text, Jennens commented: "...the Subject excells every other Subject. The Subject is Messiah ...".
*Messiah* differs from Handel's other oratorios in that it does not contain an encompassing narrative, instead offering contemplation on different aspects of the Christian Messiah:
{{blockquote
\| ''Messiah'' is not typical Handel oratorio; there are no named characters, as are usually found in Handel’s setting of the Old Testament stories, possibly to avoid charges of blasphemy. It is a meditation rather than a drama of personalities, lyrical in method; the narration of the story is carried on by implication, and there is no dialogue.
\| \[\[Christopher Hogwood]]{{r\|Block 2001}}
}}
### Structure and concept
The oratorio's structure follows the [liturgical year](/wiki/Liturgical_year "Liturgical year"): Part I corresponding with [Advent](/wiki/Advent "Advent"), [Christmas](/wiki/Christmas "Christmas"), and the life of Jesus; Part II with [Lent](/wiki/Lent "Lent"), [Easter](/wiki/Easter "Easter"), the [Ascension](/wiki/Feast_of_the_Ascension "Feast of the Ascension"), and [Pentecost](/wiki/Pentecost "Pentecost"); and Part III with the end of the church year—dealing with the end of time. The birth and death of Jesus are told in the words of the prophet [Isaiah](/wiki/Isaiah "Isaiah"), the most prominent source for the libretto. The only true "scene" of the oratorio is the [annunciation to the shepherds](/wiki/Annunciation_to_the_shepherds "Annunciation to the shepherds") which is taken from the [Gospel of Luke](/wiki/Gospel_of_Luke "Gospel of Luke"). The imagery of shepherd and lamb features prominently in many movements, for example: in the aria "He shall feed His flock like a shepherd" (the only extended piece to talk about the Messiah on earth), in the opening of Part II ("Behold the Lamb of God"), in the chorus "All we like sheep", and in the closing chorus of the work ("Worthy is the Lamb").
### Scenes
The librettist arranged his compilation in "scenes", each concentrating on a topic.
Part I "The prophecy and realisation of God's plan to redeem mankind by the coming of the Messiah"

### Music
By the time Handel composed *Messiah* in London he was already a successful and experienced composer of Italian operas, and had created sacred works based on English texts, such as the 1713 *[Utrecht Te Deum and Jubilate](/wiki/Utrecht_Te_Deum_and_Jubilate "Utrecht Te Deum and Jubilate")*, and numerous oratorios on English [libretti](/wiki/Libretto "Libretto"). For *Messiah*, Handel used the same musical technique as for those works, namely a structure based on chorus and solo singing.
The orchestra scoring is simple. Although Handel had good string players at his disposal for the Dublin premiere,{{Cite web \|title\=Handel in Ireland \|url\=https://www.hyperion\-records.co.uk/dc.asp?dc\=D\_SIGCD478 \|website\=Hyperion}} he may have been uncertain about the [woodwind](/wiki/Woodwind "Woodwind") players who might be available. The orchestra consists of [oboes](/wiki/Oboe "Oboe"), [strings](/wiki/String_instrument "String instrument") and [basso continuo](/wiki/Figured_bass%23Basso_continuo "Figured bass#Basso continuo") of [harpsichord](/wiki/Harpsichord "Harpsichord"), [violoncello](/wiki/Violoncello "Violoncello"), [violone](/wiki/Violone "Violone") and [bassoon](/wiki/Bassoon "Bassoon"). Two [trumpets](/wiki/Trumpet "Trumpet") and [timpani](/wiki/Timpani "Timpani") highlight selected movements, in Part I the song of the angels, *Glory to God in the highest*, and with [timpani](/wiki/Timpani "Timpani") the closing movements of both Part II, *Hallelujah*, and of Part III, *Worthy is the Lamb*.
Only two movements in *Messiah* are purely instrumental: the overture (written as "Sinfony" in Handel's autograph) and the Pifa (a [pastorale](/wiki/Pastorale "Pastorale") introducing the shepherds in Bethlehem); and only a few movements are a duet or a combination of solo and chorus. The solos are typically a combination of recitative and aria. The arias are called Airs or Songs, and some of them are in [da capo](/wiki/Da_capo "Da capo") form, but rarely in a strict sense (repeating the first section after a sometimes contrasting middle section). Handel found various ways to use the format freely to convey the meaning of the text. Occasionally verses from different biblical sources are combined into one movement, however more often a coherent text section is set in consecutive movements, for example the first "[scene](/wiki/Messiah_structure%23Scenes "Messiah structure#Scenes")" of the work, the annunciation of [Salvation](/wiki/Christian_salvation "Christian salvation"), is set as a sequence of three movements: recitative, aria and chorus. The center of Part III is a sequence of six movements based on a passage from [Paul](/wiki/Paul_the_Apostle "Paul the Apostle")'s [First Epistle to the Corinthians](/wiki/First_Epistle_to_the_Corinthians "First Epistle to the Corinthians") on the resurrection of the dead, a passage that [Brahms](/wiki/Johannes_Brahms "Johannes Brahms") also chose for *[Ein deutsches Requiem](/wiki/A_German_Requiem_%28Brahms%29 "A German Requiem (Brahms)")*.
The movements marked "Recitative" (Rec.) are "[secco](/wiki/Recitative%23Secco "Recitative#Secco")", accompanied by only the [continuo](/wiki/Figured_bass%23Basso_continuo "Figured bass#Basso continuo"), whereas the recitatives marked "Accompagnato" (Acc.) are accompanied by additional string instruments. Handel used four voice parts, [soprano](/wiki/Soprano "Soprano") (S), [alto](/wiki/Alto "Alto") (A), [tenor](/wiki/Tenor "Tenor") (T) and [bass](/wiki/Bass_%28voice_type%29 "Bass (voice type)") (B) in the solo and choral movements. Only once is the chorus divided in an upper chorus and a lower chorus, it is [SATB](/wiki/SATB "SATB") otherwise. Handel uses both [polyphon](/wiki/Polyphony "Polyphony") and [homophon](/wiki/Homophony "Homophony") settings to illustrate the text. Even polyphon movements typically end on a dramatic long musical [rest](/wiki/Rest_%28music%29 "Rest (music)"), followed by a broad homophon conclusion. Handel often stresses a word by extended [coloraturas](/wiki/Coloratura "Coloratura"), especially in several movements which are a [parody](/wiki/Parody%23Music "Parody#Music") of music composed earlier on Italian texts. He uses a [cantus firmus](/wiki/Cantus_firmus "Cantus firmus") on long repeated notes especially to illustrate God's speech and majesty, for example "for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it" in movement [4](/wiki/%234 "#4").
### General notes
The following tables are organized by movement numbers. There are two major systems of numbering the movements of *Messiah*: the historic [Novello](/wiki/Novello_%26_Co "Novello & Co") edition of 1959 (which is based on earlier editions and contains 53 movements), and the [Bärenreiter](/wiki/B%C3%A4renreiter "Bärenreiter") edition of 1965 in the [Hallische Händel\-Ausgabe](/wiki/Hallische_H%C3%A4ndel-Ausgabe "Hallische Händel-Ausgabe"). Not counting some short recitatives as separate movements, it has 47 movements. The Novello number (Nov) is given first, then the Bärenreiter number (Bär).

"Oratorio\n--------",
"The [libretto](/wiki/Libretto \"Libretto\") by [Charles Jennens](/wiki/Charles_Jennens \"Charles Jennens\") is drawn from the Bible: mostly from the [Old Testament](/wiki/Old_Testament \"Old Testament\") of the [King James Bible](/wiki/Authorized_King_James_Version \"Authorized King James Version\"), but with several [psalms](/wiki/Psalms \"Psalms\") taken from the [Book of Common Prayer](/wiki/Book_of_Common_Prayer \"Book of Common Prayer\"). Regarding the text, Jennens commented: \"...the Subject excells every other Subject. The Subject is Messiah ...\".",
"*Messiah* differs from Handel's other oratorios in that it does not contain an encompassing narrative, instead offering contemplation on different aspects of the Christian Messiah:",
"{{blockquote\n\\| ''Messiah'' is not typical Handel oratorio; there are no named characters, as are usually found in Handel’s setting of the Old Testament stories, possibly to avoid charges of blasphemy. It is a meditation rather than a drama of personalities, lyrical in method; the narration of the story is carried on by implication, and there is no dialogue.\n\\| \\[\\[Christopher Hogwood]]{{r\\|Block 2001}}\n}}",
"### Structure and concept",
"The oratorio's structure follows the [liturgical year](/wiki/Liturgical_year \"Liturgical year\"): Part I corresponding with [Advent](/wiki/Advent \"Advent\"), [Christmas](/wiki/Christmas \"Christmas\"), and the life of Jesus; Part II with [Lent](/wiki/Lent \"Lent\"), [Easter](/wiki/Easter \"Easter\"), the [Ascension](/wiki/Feast_of_the_Ascension \"Feast of the Ascension\"), and [Pentecost](/wiki/Pentecost \"Pentecost\"); and Part III with the end of the church year—dealing with the end of time. The birth and death of Jesus are told in the words of the prophet [Isaiah](/wiki/Isaiah \"Isaiah\"), the most prominent source for the libretto. The only true \"scene\" of the oratorio is the [annunciation to the shepherds](/wiki/Annunciation_to_the_shepherds \"Annunciation to the shepherds\") which is taken from the [Gospel of Luke](/wiki/Gospel_of_Luke \"Gospel of Luke\"). The imagery of shepherd and lamb features prominently in many movements, for example: in the aria \"He shall feed His flock like a shepherd\" (the only extended piece to talk about the Messiah on earth), in the opening of Part II (\"Behold the Lamb of God\"), in the chorus \"All we like sheep\", and in the closing chorus of the work (\"Worthy is the Lamb\").",
"### Scenes",
"The librettist arranged his compilation in \"scenes\", each concentrating on a topic.\n Part I \"The prophecy and realisation of God's plan to redeem mankind by the coming of the Messiah\"\n [Scene 1](/wiki/Messiah_Part_I%23Scene_1 \"Messiah Part I#Scene 1\"): \"Isaiah's prophecy of salvation\" (movements 2–4\\)\n [Scene 2](/wiki/Messiah_Part_I%23Scene_2 \"Messiah Part I#Scene 2\"): \"The prophecy of the coming of Messiah and the question, despite (1\\), of what this may portend for the World\" (movements 5–7\\)\n [Scene 3](/wiki/Messiah_Part_I%23Scene_3 \"Messiah Part I#Scene 3\"): \"The prophecy of the Virgin Birth\" (movements 8–12\\)\n [Scene 4](/wiki/Messiah_Part_I%23Scene_4 \"Messiah Part I#Scene 4\"): \"The appearance of the Angels to the Shepherds\" (movements 13–17\\)\n [Scene 5](/wiki/Messiah_Part_I%23Scene_5 \"Messiah Part I#Scene 5\"): \"Christ's redemptive miracles on earth\" (movements 18–21\\)\n Part II \"The accomplishment of redemption by the sacrifice of Christ, mankind's rejection of God's offer, and mankind's utter defeat when trying to oppose the power of the Almighty\"\n [Scene 1](/wiki/Messiah_Part_II%23Scene_1 \"Messiah Part II#Scene 1\"): \"The redemptive sacrifice, the scourging and the agony on the cross\" (movements 22–30\\)\n [Scene 2](/wiki/Messiah_Part_II%23Scene_2 \"Messiah Part II#Scene 2\"): \"His sacrificial death, His passage through Hell and Resurrection\" (movements 31–32\\)\n [Scene 3](/wiki/Messiah_Part_II%23Scene_3 \"Messiah Part II#Scene 3\"): \"His ascension\" (movement 33\\)\n [Scene 4](/wiki/Messiah_Part_II%23Scene_4 \"Messiah Part II#Scene 4\"): \"God discloses his identity in Heaven\" (movements 34–35\\)\n [Scene 5](/wiki/Messiah_Part_II%23Scene_5 \"Messiah Part II#Scene 5\"): \"Whitsun, the gift of tongues, the beginning of evangelism\" (movements 36–39\\)\n [Scene 6](/wiki/Messiah_Part_II%23Scene_6 \"Messiah Part II#Scene 6\"): \"The world and its rulers reject the Gospel\" (movements 40–41\\)\n [Scene 7](/wiki/Messiah_Part_II%23Scene_7 \"Messiah Part II#Scene 7\"): \"God's triumph\" (movements 42–44\\)\n Part III \"A Hymn of Thanksgiving for the final overthrow of Death\"\n [Scene 1](/wiki/Messiah_Part_III%23Scene_1 \"Messiah Part III#Scene 1\"): \"The promise of bodily resurrection and redemption from Adam's fall\" (movements 45–46\\)\n [Scene 2](/wiki/Messiah_Part_III%23Scene_2 \"Messiah Part III#Scene 2\"): \"The Day of Judgment and general Resurrection\" (movements 47–48\\)\n [Scene 3](/wiki/Messiah_Part_III%23Scene_3 \"Messiah Part III#Scene 3\"): \"The victory over death and sin\" (movements 49–52\\)\n [Scene 4](/wiki/Messiah_Part_III%23Scene_4 \"Messiah Part III#Scene 4\"): \"The glorification of the Messianic victim\" (movement 53\\)",

Description
-----------
Long recognized as a powerhouse of American industry, Western Pennsylvania is a large geophysical and socio\-economic entity. It encompasses that portion of the state to the west of the Appalachian divide and included within the Mississippi drainage system of rivers.
The largest rivers in this area are the [Allegheny River](/wiki/Allegheny_River "Allegheny River"), which flows southward from the [New York](/wiki/New_York_%28state%29 "New York (state)") border, and the [Monongahela River](/wiki/Monongahela_River "Monongahela River"), which flows northward from [West Virginia](/wiki/West_Virginia "West Virginia"). These two rivers meet in [Downtown Pittsburgh](/wiki/Downtown_Pittsburgh "Downtown Pittsburgh") and join to form the [Ohio River](/wiki/Ohio_River "Ohio River"), which from that point flows an additional {{convert\|981\|mi\|km}} southwest to the [Mississippi River](/wiki/Mississippi_River "Mississippi River"). The juncture of the Allegheny and Monongahela was historically regarded as strategic and the gateway to the interior of the continent from the east. At various times this juncture has been called the Forks of the Ohio, [Fort Duquesne](/wiki/Fort_Duquesne "Fort Duquesne"), [Fort Pitt](/wiki/Fort_Pitt_%28Pennsylvania%29 "Fort Pitt (Pennsylvania)"), the Golden Triangle, and today, at its apex, [Point State Park](/wiki/Point_State_Park "Point State Park"). Incredibly, after several decades of border war and 150 years of high\-rent city\-center urbanization, the original 1764 blockhouse from Fort Pitt still stands here and is one of the oldest buildings in the region.
Other notable rivers are the [Youghiogheny River](/wiki/Youghiogheny_River "Youghiogheny River"), flowing north from West Virginia and [western Maryland](/wiki/Western_Maryland "Western Maryland") to join the Monongahela just upriver of Pittsburgh, and which was the early route of penetration into Western Pennsylvania, the [Kiskiminetas River](/wiki/Kiskiminetas_River "Kiskiminetas River"), [French Creek](/wiki/French_Creek_%28Allegheny_River%29 "French Creek (Allegheny River)"), a major passageway between Lake Erie and the Allegheny River for the Indians and early French explorers and traders, and the small [Oil Creek](/wiki/Oil_Creek_%28Allegheny_River%29 "Oil Creek (Allegheny River)") in Crawford and Venango counties, where slicks gave an indication of petroleum reserves and in whose watershed the first oil well in the United States was drilled.
The highest point in Pennsylvania, [Mount Davis](/wiki/Mount_Davis_%28Pennsylvania%29 "Mount Davis (Pennsylvania)"), reaches {{convert\|3213\|ft\|m}}, and is located near the southern border of the state in Somerset County, approximately {{convert\|100\|mi}} east of the southwestern corner, where the [Appalachian Mountains](/wiki/Appalachian_Mountains "Appalachian Mountains") enter Pennsylvania from the south.{{cite gnis\|id\=1209050\|name\=Mount Davis\|access\-date\=2010\-03\-14}} To the west and north of this point lies the [Allegheny Plateau](/wiki/Allegheny_Plateau "Allegheny Plateau"), a [dissected plateau](/wiki/Dissected_plateau "Dissected plateau") so eroded that it appears to be an interminable series of high hills and steep valleys. The peaks in the area are among the lowest in the East Coast highlands, but what they lack in height they make up in wide extent of land covered, which forms a vast formidable barrier for mile upon mile to overland travel from the coast.
### Northwestern Pennsylvania
The city of [Erie](/wiki/Erie%2C_Pennsylvania "Erie, Pennsylvania") is the business center and cultural hub of Northwestern Pennsylvania.{{cite web \|title\=Northwest Pennsylvania \|url\=https://genpa.org/region/northwest\-pennsylvania \|access\-date\=June 8, 2015 \|publisher\=\[\[Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania]]}} The compiled population of the region was estimated to be 938,516 in 2015\. Although the only county with population growth was [Butler](/wiki/Butler_County%2C_Pennsylvania "Butler County, Pennsylvania"), the deficit for all other counties was within 3%. The region also includes the [Erie\-Meadville, PA Combined Statistical Area](/wiki/Erie-Meadville%2C_PA_Combined_Statistical_Area "Erie-Meadville, PA Combined Statistical Area").
Northwestern Pennsylvania is home to the [Allegheny National Forest](/wiki/Allegheny_National_Forest "Allegheny National Forest"), and is the heart of Pennsylvania's oil and gas economy.

Lawyers [Jürgen Mossack](/wiki/J%C3%BCrgen_Mossack "Jürgen Mossack") and [Ramón Fonseca](/wiki/Ram%C3%B3n_Fonseca_Mora "Ramón Fonseca Mora") introduce themselves, along with the concept of money and credit. The pair serve as narrators for three stories of people around the world who are adversely affected by the machinations of their company, [Mossack Fonseca](/wiki/Mossack_Fonseca "Mossack Fonseca"). While the story has been somewhat fictionalized, the names of the law firm at the center of the scandal,["Panama grants bail to Mossack Fonseca founders in Brazil corruption case"](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-panama-corruption/panama-grants-bail-to-mossack-fonseca-founders-in-brazil-corruption-case-idUSKBN17O018) *Reuters* 2017\-04\-22 along with those of its founders, were not.{{cite news \|date\=18 October 2019\|author1\=The Associated Press \|title\=Netflix's 'The Laundromat' Goes On as Court Transfers Lawsuit \|url\=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/18/movies/laundromat\-netflix\-panama\-papers.html \|newspaper\=\[\[The New York Times]] \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20191018160005/https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/18/movies/laundromat\-netflix\-panama\-papers.html \|archive\-date\=2019\-10\-18 }}
Characters Ellen Martin and her husband, Joe, are on a pleasure boat, the *[Ethan Allen](/wiki/Ethan_Allen_boating_accident "Ethan Allen boating accident")* at [Lake George, New York](/wiki/Lake_George_%28lake%29%2C_New_York "Lake George (lake), New York"), when it capsizes, drowning Joe and many others. When Ellen tries to get compensation from the boating company for Joe's death, she cannot because the [reinsurance](/wiki/Reinsurance "Reinsurance") company that the boat company's owner and son, Matthew, bought their policy from, was sold to another company based out of [Nevis](/wiki/Nevis "Nevis"). The Nevis\-based company is actually a [trust](/wiki/Trust_company "Trust company") of one of Mossack's [shell corporations](/wiki/Shell_corporations "Shell corporations"), which is under investigation by the [Internal Revenue Service](/wiki/Internal_Revenue_Service "Internal Revenue Service") (IRS) for fraud.
When her attempts to contact Mossack and the Nevis\-based company are unsuccessful, Ellen travels there to confront Malchus Boncamper, the manager of the trust. When Ellen bumps into Malchus, not knowing who he is, she asks questions about his firm's location. He lies and walks away. When Malchus travels to [Miami](/wiki/Miami "Miami") he is arrested by [IRS\-CI Special Agents](/wiki/IRS_Criminal_Investigation_Division "IRS Criminal Investigation Division") at the airport.
The second story is about Simone, who is the daughter of Charles, an African billionaire. When Simone discovers her best friend is having an affair with Charles, he offers her shares (supposedly worth $20 million) in one of his investment companies to keep her silence. She accepts his offer, but when she travels to Mossack's offices in [Panama City](/wiki/Panama_City "Panama City") to claim the shares, they turn out to be worthless because they are actually part of a shell company under Mossack that only exists on paper.
The third story is a dramatization of the death of [Neil Heywood](/wiki/Neil_Heywood "Neil Heywood"), part of the [Wang Lijun incident](/wiki/Wang_Lijun_incident "Wang Lijun incident"). Heywood (renamed "Maywood" in the film), is an intermediary for wealthy Chinese looking to funnel money abroad. He visits a [Chongqing](/wiki/Chongqing "Chongqing") hotel to meet [Gu Kailai](/wiki/Gu_Kailai "Gu Kailai"). Maywood demands and pressures Gu for a much higher price if she wants him to continue laundering money for her family through a shell company Mossack owns. Gu responds by poisoning Maywood's drink. Gu discloses the incident and reports Maywood to Chongqing police chief [Wang Lijun](/wiki/Wang_Lijun "Wang Lijun") who secretly records the conversation; he then reports her to the Chinese government. The story ends with the arrest of Gu and her husband [Bo Xilai](/wiki/Bo_Xilai "Bo Xilai") for Maywood's murder and for corruption.

### Courts\-martial
{{main article\|Courts\-martial of the United States}}
[Courts\-martial](/wiki/Courts-martial "Courts-martial") are conducted under the UCMJ and the *[Manual for Courts\-Martial](/wiki/Manual_for_Courts-Martial "Manual for Courts-Martial")* (MCM). If the trial results in a conviction, the case is reviewed by the [convening authority](/wiki/Convening_authority "Convening authority") – the commanding officer who referred the case for trial by court\-martial.{{Cite web \|url\=https://www.armfor.uscourts.gov/newcaaf/appell\_review.htm\|title\=Appellate Review of Courts\-Martial \|date\=2006\-01\-31 \|access\-date\=2023\-04\-04 \|website\=\[\[United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces]]}}{{UnitedStatesCode\|10\|860\|60\|pipe\=Art 60\.

If the sentence, as approved by the convening authority, includes death, a [bad conduct discharge](/wiki/Bad_conduct_discharge "Bad conduct discharge"), a [dishonorable discharge](/wiki/Dishonorable_discharge "Dishonorable discharge"), dismissal of an officer, or confinement for one year or more, the case is reviewed by an intermediate court. There are four such courts – the [Army Court of Criminal Appeals](/wiki/Army_Court_of_Criminal_Appeals "Army Court of Criminal Appeals"), the [Navy\-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals](/wiki/Navy-Marine_Corps_Court_of_Criminal_Appeals "Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals"), the [Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals](/wiki/Air_Force_Court_of_Criminal_Appeals "Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals"), and the [Coast Guard Court of Criminal Appeals](/wiki/Coast_Guard_Court_of_Criminal_Appeals "Coast Guard Court of Criminal Appeals").
After review by any of these intermediate courts, the next level of appeal is the [United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces](/wiki/United_States_Court_of_Appeals_for_the_Armed_Forces "United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces") (CAAF).{{UnitedStatesCode\|10\|869\|69d\|pipe\=Art 69\.

### Personal jurisdiction
Within the exceptions below, as codified in Article 2 of the UCMJ, [personal jurisdiction](/wiki/Personal_jurisdiction "Personal jurisdiction") attaches, regardless of the physical global location of the service member, over all members of the [Uniformed Services of the United States](/wiki/Uniformed_Services_of_the_United_States "Uniformed Services of the United States"): the [Army](/wiki/United_States_Army "United States Army"), [Marine Corps](/wiki/United_States_Marine_Corps "United States Marine Corps"), [Navy](/wiki/United_States_Navy "United States Navy"), [Air Force](/wiki/United_States_Air_Force "United States Air Force"), [Space Force](/wiki/United_States_Space_Force "United States Space Force"), [Coast Guard](/wiki/United_States_Coast_Guard "United States Coast Guard"), [NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps](/wiki/National_Oceanic_and_Atmospheric_Administration_Commissioned_Officer_Corps "National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps"), and [Public Health Service Commissioned Corps](/wiki/United_States_Public_Health_Service_Commissioned_Corps "United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps").{{UnitedStatesCode\|10\|802\|2a\|pipe\=Art 2\.

While the Coast Guard is administered under Title 14 of the [United States Code](/wiki/United_States_Code "United States Code") when not operating as part of the U.S. Navy, individuals commissioned or enlisted in the Coast Guard are subject to the UCMJ as an armed force. Commissioned members of the [NOAA](/wiki/NOAA "NOAA") and [PHS](/wiki/United_States_Public_Health_Service "United States Public Health Service"), as [uniformed services](/wiki/Uniformed_services_of_the_United_States "Uniformed services of the United States"), are only subject to the UCMJ when attached or detailed to a military unit by competent orders, or when militarized by Presidential [executive order](/wiki/Executive_order_%28United_States%29 "Executive order (United States)") during a [national emergency](/wiki/National_emergency "National emergency") or [declaration of war](/wiki/Declaration_of_war "Declaration of war").
Members of the military Reserve Components under [Title 10 of the United States Code](/wiki/Title_10_of_the_United_States_Code "Title 10 of the United States Code") ([Army Reserve](/wiki/United_States_Army_Reserve "United States Army Reserve"), [Marine Forces Reserve](/wiki/Marine_Forces_Reserve "Marine Forces Reserve"), [Navy Reserve](/wiki/United_States_Navy_Reserve "United States Navy Reserve"), and [Air Force Reserve](/wiki/Air_Force_Reserve_Command "Air Force Reserve Command")), or [Title 14 of the United States Code](/wiki/Title_14_of_the_United_States_Code "Title 14 of the United States Code"), [Coast Guard Reserve](/wiki/Coast_Guard_Reserve "Coast Guard Reserve") when not operating as part of the U.S. Navy, are subject to the UCMJ when they are:
1. Full\-Time Support (FTS) personnel on active duty orders serving pursuant to the authority of 10 USC 10211 or 10 USC 12310, including:
1. Army/Air Force "Active Guard and Reserve (AGR),"
2. Navy "Full\-time Support (FTS),"
3. Marine Corps "Active Reserve (AR)," or

Coast Guard "Reserve Program Administrators (RPA)."{{Cite web \|url\=https://www.uscg.mil/opm/Opm3/Opm3docs/OSMS/CG\-NAP14\.pdf \|title\=Archived copy \|access\-date\=November 10, 2016 \|archive\-date\=November 10, 2016 \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20161110235417/https://www.uscg.mil/opm/Opm3/Opm3docs/OSMS/CG\-NAP14\.pdf \|url\-status\=dead }}
2. "Traditional" reservists performing either:
1. Full\-time active duty service under orders for a specific period, i.e., Annual Training, Active Duty for Training, Active Duty for Operational Support, Active Duty Special Work, Mobilization or Recall to Active Duty, Canvasser Recruiter, etc., or
2. Performing part\-time Inactive Duty, i.e., Inactive Duty Training, Inactive Duty Travel and Training, Unit Training Assembly, Additional Training Periods, Additional Flying Training Periods, Reserve Management Periods, etc., all of which are colloquially known as "drills."
3. Retired Reservists who are either recalled to active duty pursuant to secretarial authority, or who are receiving medical treatment in an armed forces hospital (see below).
[Soldiers](/wiki/Army_National_Guard "Army National Guard") and [airmen](/wiki/Air_National_Guard "Air National Guard") in the [National Guard of the United States](/wiki/National_Guard_of_the_United_States "National Guard of the United States") are subject to the UCMJ only if activated (mobilized or recalled to active duty) in a federal capacity under Title 10 by an [executive order](/wiki/Executive_order_%28United_States%29 "Executive order (United States)") issued by the [President](/wiki/President_of_the_United_States "President of the United States"), or during their annual training periods, which are orders issued under Title 10, during which periods of duty they are federalized into the National Guard of the United States. Otherwise, members of the National Guard are usually exempt from the UCMJ. However, under [Title 32](/wiki/Title_32_of_the_United_States_Code "Title 32 of the United States Code") orders, or State Active Duty orders issued directly under State authority, individual members of the Army National Guard and Air National Guard are still subject to their respective state codes of military justice, which often resemble the UCMJ very closely, and/or their state civil and criminal laws.
Several States also authorize either naval or military organized militia forces. These are collectively known as the [State Guard](/wiki/State_defense_force "State defense force").{{cite web\|url\=http://iga.in.gov/legislative/laws/2014/ic/titles/010/articles/016/chapters/006/\#section\-2\|title\=Indiana Code 2014 \- Indiana General Assembly, 2017 Session\|first\=Indiana General\|last\=Assembly\|access\-date\=November 29, 2016}} State Guard organizations are organized, trained, equipped, armed, disciplined, and administered under each State's own sovereign authority, and are not subject to a Federal recall to active duty, nor are the individual members subject to the UCMJ in their capacities as members of the State Guard. State Guard organizations typically are organized similarly to a military force, and usually report to the senior National Guard officer in each State, known as the Adjutant General.
In this sense, the State Guard are auxiliaries to each State's Constitutionally authorized organized militia forces, the Army and Air National Guard. The State Guard is often specialized, based on each state's requirements, for missions such as wilderness search and rescue, light aviation, forest firefighting, law enforcement, or general emergency management roles. Under each state's own authorities, State Guard members may be ordered to State Active Duty (SAD), in a status similar to National Guard members in a Title 32 status but solely under state authority and discipline, and also may be provided with the training, equipment, and authority to act as law enforcement officers with powers of arrest.
Each state sets the requirements to join, remain, be promoted or rewarded, and conditions of employment such as a minimum amount of duty performed in a year, and whether any duty is paid or unpaid, and whether the individuals are covered by various civil service or retirement pension plans. Most State Guard duty is performed without pay, in a volunteer status. While the State Guard organizations are subject to recall to SAD, or other workforce requirements as imposed by their state, they are not subject to either partial or full mobilization authorities under Title 10\.
However, the individual State Guard members often have dual\-status as both State Guard *and* a federally recognized uniformed services member, such as a [Texas State Guard](/wiki/Texas_State_Guard "Texas State Guard") officer who is also a retired U.S. military officer. Such an individual could be recalled to active duty under both SAD as a State Guard member, or under one of the various authorities to recall retired or reserve military members to active duty (10 USC 688, various 10 USC 123XX authorities, and others), but not both because a federal status trumps a state status. State Guard members could thus be subject to the UCMJ at all times under their federal status, and under specific state military and civil/criminal codes under their state status.
Cadets and midshipmen at the [United States Military Academy](/wiki/United_States_Military_Academy "United States Military Academy"), [United States Naval Academy](/wiki/United_States_Naval_Academy "United States Naval Academy"), [United States Air Force Academy](/wiki/United_States_Air_Force_Academy "United States Air Force Academy"), and [United States Coast Guard Academy](/wiki/United_States_Coast_Guard_Academy "United States Coast Guard Academy"), are subject to the UCMJ at all times because they are in an active duty status as members of the regular component while serving at a Military Service Academy, per Article 2(a)(2\) of UCMJ.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.ucmj.us/about\-the\-ucmj\|title\=About « UCMJ – United States Code of Military Justice\|access\-date\=November 29, 2016}} Army and Air Force [Reserve Officers' Training Corps](/wiki/Reserve_Officers%27_Training_Corps "Reserve Officers' Training Corps") (ROTC) cadets are not subject to the UCMJ, except while on inactive or active duty training.{{Cite court \|litigants\=Woodrick v.

However, members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary can be called by the Commandant of the Coast Guard into the Temporary Reserve of the Coast Guard, in which case they become subject to the UCMJ.
Additionally, the following categories of service members are subject to the UCMJ as indicated:{{cite web\|url\=https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/802\|title\=10 U.S. Code §802\. Art. 2\. Persons subject to this chapter\|publisher\=Cornell Law School Legal Information Institute\|access\-date\=May 20, 2020}}
1. Retired members of the regular component who are entitled to retirement pay, per Article 2(a)(4\) of UCMJ, regardless of the authority under which retired from active service and transferred to the retired list of their respective service's regular component,
2. Retired members of the reserve component, whether entitled to retired pay or awaiting retired pay at age 60 as a gray area reserve retiree, who are receiving hospital care from an armed force, per Article 2(a)(5\) of UCMJ,
3. Members of the Fleet Reserve/Fleet Marine Corps Reserve (FR/FMCR), as enlisted retired Navy or Marine Corps personnel who have not yet served a total of 30 years of combined active, fleet reserve, and retired service, per Article 2(a)(6\) of UCMJ. Both regular component and reserve component enlisted retirees are transferred to the FR/FMCR upon retirement if they have less than 30 total years, but more than 20 cumulative years of active service, and remain subject to the UCMJ in that status until they complete 30 total years of active and fleet reserve service, and are transferred to their respective original Service Retired List (regular component or retired reserve). The FR/FMCR is not applicable to any officers, any service member retired for disability and transferred to the Temporary or Permanent Disability Retired Lists, nor any enlisted retirees except those of the Navy and Marine Corps as noted above.
4. Persons in custody of the U.S. Armed Forces serving a sentence imposed by a court\-martial, per Article 2(a)(7\) of UCMJ,
5. Members of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Public Health Service, and other organizations, when assigned to and serving with the armed forces, per Article 2(a)(8\) of UCMJ,
6. [Prisoners of War (POW)/Enemy Prisoners of War (EPW)](/wiki/Prisoner_of_war "Prisoner of war") in the custody of the U.S. Armed Forces, per Article 2(a)(9\) of UCMJ,
7. In time of declared war or a contingency operation, persons serving with or accompanying a U.S. armed force in the field, per Article 2(a)(10\), and
8. Detained [medical personnel](/wiki/Combat_medic "Combat medic") and [military chaplains](/wiki/Military_chaplain "Military chaplain") in the custody of the U.S. Armed Forces.
Civilians are not subject to UCMJ. However, the federal government has exclusive jurisdiction over crimes committed on a military installation.{{cite web \|title\=Charged with a Crime on a Military Base?

#### Military contractors
Historically, the UCMJ applied to "persons serving with or accompanying an armed force in the field" and thus included [military contractors](/wiki/Military_contractor "Military contractor") "in time of war."David C. Hammond, [The First Prosecution of a Contractor Under the UCMJ: Lessons for Service Contractors](https://www.crowell.com/documents/The-First-Prosecution-of-a-Contractor-Under-the-UCMJ.pdf), *Service Contractor* (Fall 2008\), pp. 33\-34\. In the [John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007](/wiki/John_Warner_National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2007 "John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007"), which was enacted in 2006, Congress expanded the UCMJ's applicability to cover contractors during a "declared war or contingency operation." The change came following the [Nisour Square massacre](/wiki/Nisour_Square_massacre "Nisour Square massacre") perpetrated by Blackwater Security personnel.{{cite web\|date\=April 17, 2008\|newspaper\=Stars \& Stripes\|url\=https://www.stripes.com/news/hearing\-begins\-in\-contractor\-stabbing\-case\-1\.77749\|title\=Hearing begins in contractor stabbing case}}
In 2008, the first contractor was prosecuted under the new provision, marking the first time since 1968 that a contractor had been charged under military law.{{cite web\|date\=December 1, 2009\|author\=Staff Report\|title\=Former N.C. senator serves tour in Iraq\|url\=https://www.salisburypost.com/2009/12/01/former\-n\-c\-senator\-serves\-tour\-in\-iraq/\|newspaper\=NC Lawyer\|via\=Salisbury Post}} The civilian defendant, a dual Canadian\-Iraqi citizen, was charged with stabbing a co\-worker, another Iraqi civilian. The contractor ultimately pleaded guilty.
### Non\-judicial punishment
{{Main\|Nonjudicial punishment}}
Under Article 15 of the Code (Subchapter III), specified military commanders have the authority to exercise [non\-judicial punishment](/wiki/Nonjudicial_punishment "Nonjudicial punishment") (NJP) over their subordinates for minor breaches of discipline.{{UnitedStatesCode\|10\|815\|15\|pipe\=Art 15\. Commanding officer’s non\-judicial punishment}} These punishments are carried out after a hearing before the commander but without a judge and jury. Punishments are limited to a reduction in rank for enlisted members, loss of pay, restriction of privileges, extra\-duty, reprimands, and, aboard ships, confinement. Guidelines for the imposition of NJP are contained in Part V of the *[Manual for Courts\-Martial](/wiki/Manual_for_Courts-Martial "Manual for Courts-Martial")* and the various service regulations.{{Cite manual \|title\=Manual for Courts Martial \|publisher\=\[\[Department of Defense]]; \[\[Library of Congress]] \|year\=2019 \|edition\=2019 \|location\=\[\[United States]] \|chapter\=Part V: Non Judicial Punishment Procedure \|id\=https://hdl.loc.gov/loc.law/llmlp.MCM\-2019 \|department\=}}
### Complaints of wrongs and loss of property
The UCMJ provides that any service member may bring a "complaint of wrongs" against their commanding officer to the next senior officer exercising general court\-martial authority over their commander.{{UnitedStatesCode\|10\|938\|138\|pipe\=Art 138\. Complaints of wrongs}} That officer will investigate the complaint of wrongs, and then report the findings of the investigation to the service Secretary (i.e., Secretary of the [Army](/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_the_Army "United States Secretary of the Army"), [Navy](/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_the_Navy "United States Secretary of the Navy"), [Air Force](/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_the_Air_Force "United States Secretary of the Air Force")) concerned.{{Cite journal \|title\=Procedures for Article 138, UCMJ, Complaints \|journal\=The Army Lawyer \|last\=Brick \|first\=Samuel T. \|issue\=4 \|via\=\[\[HeinOnline]] \|publisher\=\[\[The Judge Advocate General's Legal Center and School]] \|year\=1979 \|page\=3}} Following said findings an investigation board can be convened to investigate and adjudicate claims of willful damage, destruction, or theft of personal property, only if both parties are subject to the Code.{{UnitedStatesCode\|10\|939\|139\|pipe\=Art 139\.

The State Guard is often specialized, based on each state's requirements, for missions such as wilderness search and rescue, light aviation, forest firefighting, law enforcement, or general emergency management roles. Under each state's own authorities, State Guard members may be ordered to State Active Duty (SAD), in a status similar to National Guard members in a Title 32 status but solely under state authority and discipline, and also may be provided with the training, equipment, and authority to act as law enforcement officers with powers of arrest.",
"Each state sets the requirements to join, remain, be promoted or rewarded, and conditions of employment such as a minimum amount of duty performed in a year, and whether any duty is paid or unpaid, and whether the individuals are covered by various civil service or retirement pension plans. Most State Guard duty is performed without pay, in a volunteer status. While the State Guard organizations are subject to recall to SAD, or other workforce requirements as imposed by their state, they are not subject to either partial or full mobilization authorities under Title 10\\.",
"However, the individual State Guard members often have dual\\-status as both State Guard *and* a federally recognized uniformed services member, such as a [Texas State Guard](/wiki/Texas_State_Guard \"Texas State Guard\") officer who is also a retired U.S. military officer. Such an individual could be recalled to active duty under both SAD as a State Guard member, or under one of the various authorities to recall retired or reserve military members to active duty (10 USC 688, various 10 USC 123XX authorities, and others), but not both because a federal status trumps a state status.

These are collectively known as the [State Guard](/wiki/State_defense_force "State defense force").{{cite web\|url\=http://iga.in.gov/legislative/laws/2014/ic/titles/010/articles/016/chapters/006/\#section\-2\|title\=Indiana Code 2014 \- Indiana General Assembly, 2017 Session\|first\=Indiana General\|last\=Assembly\|access\-date\=November 29, 2016}} State Guard organizations are organized, trained, equipped, armed, disciplined, and administered under each State's own sovereign authority, and are not subject to a Federal recall to active duty, nor are the individual members subject to the UCMJ in their capacities as members of the State Guard. State Guard organizations typically are organized similarly to a military force, and usually report to the senior National Guard officer in each State, known as the Adjutant General.
In this sense, the State Guard are auxiliaries to each State's Constitutionally authorized organized militia forces, the Army and Air National Guard. The State Guard is often specialized, based on each state's requirements, for missions such as wilderness search and rescue, light aviation, forest firefighting, law enforcement, or general emergency management roles. Under each state's own authorities, State Guard members may be ordered to State Active Duty (SAD), in a status similar to National Guard members in a Title 32 status but solely under state authority and discipline, and also may be provided with the training, equipment, and authority to act as law enforcement officers with powers of arrest.
Each state sets the requirements to join, remain, be promoted or rewarded, and conditions of employment such as a minimum amount of duty performed in a year, and whether any duty is paid or unpaid, and whether the individuals are covered by various civil service or retirement pension plans. Most State Guard duty is performed without pay, in a volunteer status. While the State Guard organizations are subject to recall to SAD, or other workforce requirements as imposed by their state, they are not subject to either partial or full mobilization authorities under Title 10\.
However, the individual State Guard members often have dual\-status as both State Guard *and* a federally recognized uniformed services member, such as a [Texas State Guard](/wiki/Texas_State_Guard "Texas State Guard") officer who is also a retired U.S. military officer. Such an individual could be recalled to active duty under both SAD as a State Guard member, or under one of the various authorities to recall retired or reserve military members to active duty (10 USC 688, various 10 USC 123XX authorities, and others), but not both because a federal status trumps a state status. State Guard members could thus be subject to the UCMJ at all times under their federal status, and under specific state military and civil/criminal codes under their state status.

#### Military contractors
Historically, the UCMJ applied to "persons serving with or accompanying an armed force in the field" and thus included [military contractors](/wiki/Military_contractor "Military contractor") "in time of war."David C. Hammond, [The First Prosecution of a Contractor Under the UCMJ: Lessons for Service Contractors](https://www.crowell.com/documents/The-First-Prosecution-of-a-Contractor-Under-the-UCMJ.pdf), *Service Contractor* (Fall 2008\), pp. 33\-34\. In the [John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007](/wiki/John_Warner_National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2007 "John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007"), which was enacted in 2006, Congress expanded the UCMJ's applicability to cover contractors during a "declared war or contingency operation." The change came following the [Nisour Square massacre](/wiki/Nisour_Square_massacre "Nisour Square massacre") perpetrated by Blackwater Security personnel.{{cite web\|date\=April 17, 2008\|newspaper\=Stars \& Stripes\|url\=https://www.stripes.com/news/hearing\-begins\-in\-contractor\-stabbing\-case\-1\.77749\|title\=Hearing begins in contractor stabbing case}}
In 2008, the first contractor was prosecuted under the new provision, marking the first time since 1968 that a contractor had been charged under military law.{{cite web\|date\=December 1, 2009\|author\=Staff Report\|title\=Former N.C. senator serves tour in Iraq\|url\=https://www.salisburypost.com/2009/12/01/former\-n\-c\-senator\-serves\-tour\-in\-iraq/\|newspaper\=NC Lawyer\|via\=Salisbury Post}} The civilian defendant, a dual Canadian\-Iraqi citizen, was charged with stabbing a co\-worker, another Iraqi civilian.

### Punitive articles
Subchapter X, "Punitive Articles", is the subchapter that details offenses under the uniform code. The 2019 MCM incorporates both major and minor changes to certain articles, and relocates many articles; careful examination of the source document is required to ensure full understanding, and previous "cheat sheets" and training materials may therefore be outdated. Those articles with a title annotated by "\*" were changed from the 2016 MCM:

Plot

The [Federation](/wiki/United_Federation_of_Planets "United Federation of Planets") [starship](/wiki/Starship "Starship") *[Enterprise](/wiki/USS_Enterprise_%28NCC-1701%29 "USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)")* arrives at the planet Gideon to discuss diplomatic relations. The Gideons will permit only one representative, Captain [Kirk](/wiki/James_T._Kirk "James T. Kirk"), to set foot on their planet. Kirk beams down to the coordinates provided, but finds himself apparently still aboard the *Enterprise*, which is now devoid of any crew.
First Officer [Spock](/wiki/Spock "Spock") is informed that the Captain has not arrived on the planet, but the Gideon Ambassador, Hodin, refuses to allow a search team to investigate. Neither [Starfleet](/wiki/Starfleet "Starfleet") Command nor the Federation bureaucracy is of any help, each referring the matter to the other.
Meanwhile, Kirk wanders the deserted corridors and notices a strange bruise on his arm. He eventually encounters a beautiful young woman named Odona. She claims to have no idea how she got there, recalling only that she was in an overcrowded auditorium and struggling to breathe. For the moment, Odona is just relieved to have freedom of movement. Kirk insists that she must be from Gideon, but Odona denies any knowledge of the planet.
Kirk learns from Odona that her home planet is severely [overpopulated](/wiki/Overpopulation_%28biology%29 "Overpopulation (biology)"), with crowds of people everywhere and no privacy, because death is rare. To her, the privilege of being alone, even for a moment, is a dream come true. Kirk is taken by Odona's beauty, and the two share a passionate kiss. Neither notices the image of two dozen faces appearing on the view screen behind them.
As Kirk and Odona leave the bridge, Kirk hears a strange sound outside the ship. He goes to a viewport and catches a glimpse of a crowd of people looking in. The scene quickly changes to a normal view of space. Kirk confronts Odona about what is going on, but she denies knowing what is happening. She then complains of a strange feeling and faints into Kirk's arms.
Kirk carries her to [sick bay](/wiki/Sick_bay "Sick bay"), where he encounters Ambassador Hodin, who informs him that Odona, his daughter, is suffering from [Vegan](/wiki/Vega "Vega") [choriomeningitis](/wiki/Meningitis "Meningitis"), having been infected with Kirk's blood, which [carries](/wiki/Asymptomatic_carrier "Asymptomatic carrier") the virus. Hodin's plan is to infect the Gideon population with the virus, shortening their immense lifespans and relieving the population problem. Kirk is to supply the virus, while Odona's death is to serve as an inspiration for future volunteers. Questioned about alternatives, Hodin explains that the Gideon people's regenerative abilities would foil sterilization attempts, and that other methods of [birth control](/wiki/Birth_control "Birth control") would never be accepted.
Having realized that Hodin has deceived him, Spock goes against Starfleet orders and beams down to Kirk's original coordinates. Once there, he finds the false *Enterprise* that was built to confuse Kirk. He soon reaches Kirk and Odona, and asks Hodin not to interfere as he, Spock, is in enough trouble already. Kirk, Spock, and Odona return to the real *Enterprise*, where Chief Medical Officer [Dr. McCoy](/wiki/Leonard_McCoy "Leonard McCoy") treats Odona's condition. Odona now plans to return to Gideon to supply the virus herself. Kirk forgives her for her deception.

Government lobbying
-------------------
The BNF is open about its intention to shape UK Government policy on food,{{Cite web\|url\=http://www.nutrition.org.uk/aboutbnf/values/who\-we\-are\-what\-we\-do\|title\= Who we are, what we do\|year\= 2009\|publisher\= British Nutrition Foundation\|location\= London\|accessdate\= 4 April 2011}} thus serving as a special\-interest lobbying group for the food industry, which largely funds the foundation.
### 20th century
During the Second World War, a great deal of [official attention](/wiki/Minister_of_Food "Minister of Food") was paid to ensuring that the [UK population had adequate nutrition despite the blockade](/wiki/Rationing_in_the_United_Kingdom%23Second_World_War_1939%E2%80%931945 "Rationing in the United Kingdom#Second World War 1939–1945"). Food rationing (1940\-1953\) restricted consumption of animal products, fats, sugar, and tea, and replaced [white bread](/wiki/White_bread "White bread") with the wholegrain [National Loaf](/wiki/National_Loaf "National Loaf"), increasing vegetable and fiber consumption.{{cn\|date\=September 2024}} When rationing ended, diets began to change, as did diet\-related illness; rates of heart disease, for instance, increased sharply.
The British Nutrition Foundation was set up in 1967\.{{cn\|date\=September 2024}}
#### NACNE report
[thumb\|[Caroline Walker](/wiki/Caroline_Walker_%28food_campaigner%29 "Caroline Walker (food campaigner)"), secretary to NACNE. In 1983, she challenged a bid to make the BNF officially responsible for nutritional education in Britain, saying the BNF was not fit to advise on nutrition, because it was entirely funded by the food industry.](/wiki/File:Caroline_83.png "Caroline 83.png")
The [National Advisory Committee on Nutrition Education](/wiki/National_Advisory_Committee_on_Nutrition_Education "National Advisory Committee on Nutrition Education") (NACNE) was set up by the British government in 1979, to provide a review of nutritional information and policy. The BNF was allowed to sit on the committee, which was to become controversial. The first draft of NACNE's report was finished in April 1981, and the third draft was leaked to the press in June 1983, after it became plain that it would not be released.
At a BNF annual conference on 22 June 1983, the final official speaker suggested that the British government make the BNF the national body officially responsible for nutritional education. The secretary of NACNE, [Caroline Walker](/wiki/Caroline_Walker_%28food_campaigner%29 "Caroline Walker (food campaigner)"), stood up from the audience to respond. She said that as the BNF was entirely sponsored by the food industry, it was not fit to advise the public on nutrition. The conference chair and then\-BNF\-president, [Albert Neuberger](/wiki/Albert_Neuberger "Albert Neuberger"), said that her statement was [libellious](/wiki/Libel "Libel") and demanded that she retract it. She refused.
Journalist [Geoffrey Cannon](/wiki/Geoffrey_Cannon "Geoffrey Cannon"), who had a leaked copy of the third draft report, asked about why the conference, on 'Implementing Dietary Guidelines', hadn't mentioned an upcoming report that laid out quantitative nutrition guidelines and regulatory means of reaching them. The BNF director\-general (then Derek Shrimpton{{cn\|date\=August 2024}}), taken aback, said that the report would not be published by NACNE, but the chair of NACNE's expert sub\-committee was free to publish it.
On the 3rd of July, the leaked NACNE draft was reported in the news press; in September, the leaked draft was published in a major medical journal, [the Lancet](/wiki/The_Lancet "The Lancet"). On the 10th of October, the NACNE report was offically published. Controversy around the suppression continued to generate news stories for some years.{{cite web \|title\=History. Policy. NACNE. \|last1\=Cannon \|first1\=Geoffrey \|url\=https://www.wphna.org/htdocs/2011\_aug\_col\_geoffrey.htm \|website\=www.wphna.org \|publisher\=\[\[World Public Health Nutrition Association]] \|access\-date\=30 August 2024}}{{cite journal \|title\=Nutrition: The Changing Scene \|journal\=The Lancet \|date\=24 September 1983 \|volume\=322 \|issue\=8352 \|pages\=719–721 \|doi\=10\.1016/S0140\-6736(83\)92256\-0 \|url\=http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0140673683922560 \|access\-date\=30 August 2024 \|issn\=0140\-6736}} (see also pages 782\-784, 835\-838, and 902\-905 for other installments)
The report recommended regulating the formulation of processed foods (to make them less unhealthy), more explicit nutritional labelling, and incentives for breeding leaner meat. It said that the measures it suggested could halve the average intake of sugar and salt, and reduce the intake of fats by a quarter, replacing them with vegetables, fruit, [dietary fiber](/wiki/Dietary_fiber "Dietary fiber"), and starchy foods. It said that this would significantly reduce obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, colorectal cancer, and other major diseases, and improve the health of the whole population.
The report also deprecated the term "[balanced diet](/wiki/Balanced_diet "Balanced diet")" and contemporary [food groups](/wiki/Food_group "Food group"), saying that they were no longer helpful. It said that in the past, when nutritional deficiencies were the major form of diet\-related disease, encouraging people to eat a greater variety of foods was useful, because most people who got nutritional deficiencies were eating a narrow range of foods lacking a specific nutrient. In the 1970s, they wrote, that was no longer a major problem in the United Kingdom; people needed to eat healthier foods, not more varied ones.
No official action was taken on the report; the recommendations were not implemented.{{cn\|date\=September 2024}}
Derek Shrimpton, who had been BNF director general in this period (1982\-1984{{cn\|date\=August 2024}}), said in a 1985 interview: "In the period I was there the foundation was solely taken up with defence actions for the industry." He also said that BNF had constantly fought against reductions in sugar, salt, and fat consumption, by constantly frustrating government committees aiming to recommend reductions.{{cite book\|last\=Cannon\|first\=G\|title\=The Politics of Food\|year\=1987\|publisher\=Century\|location\=London\|pages\=356\|isbn\=978\-0712612104}}; former 10\-digit ISBN was {{ISBN\|0712612106}}. An interview with Derek Shrimpton in a 1985 [World in Action](/wiki/World_in_Action "World in Action") documentary{{expand citation\|date\=August 2024}} is quoted extensively in *The Politics of Food*
### 21st century
The UK government has repeatedly paid the BNF to develop educational materials on nutrition. Tim Lobstein, a director at the International Association for the Study of Obesity\-International Obesity Task Force (now the [World Obesity Federation](/wiki/World_Obesity_Federation "World Obesity Federation")), said that the BNF has produced educational materials seem to support industry messages. For instance, he said, in 2003 it "did a big piece of work for the [Food Standards Agency](/wiki/Food_Standards_Agency "Food Standards Agency") \[a government department] reviewing ‘influences on consumer food choices’ which conveniently left out any review of the influence of marketing and advertising techniques".{{Cite web \|url\= http://spinwatch.org/\-articles\-by\-category\-mainmenu\-8/40\-pr\-industry/5353\-independence\-of\-nutritional\-information\-the\-british\-nutrition\-foundation\|title\= Independence of nutritional information? \|last\=Chamberlain \|first\=Phil\|publisher\= \[\[British Medical Journal]]\|location\= London \|date\=22 March 2010 \|accessdate\=30 August 2023 \|url\-status\= dead\|archiveurl\= https://web.archive.org/web/20120425125849/http://spinwatch.org/\-articles\-by\-category\-mainmenu\-8/40\-pr\-industry/5353\-independence\-of\-nutritional\-information\-the\-british\-nutrition\-foundation\|archivedate\= 25 April 2012}}{{Cite news \|url\=https://www.independent.co.uk/life\-style/food\-and\-drink/news/is\-the\-british\-nutrition\-foundation\-having\-its\-cake\-and\-eating\-it\-too\-1925034\.html \|title\=Is the British Nutrition Foundation having its cake and eating it too?\|last1\=Chamberlain \|first1\=Phil\|last2\=Laurance \|first2\=Jeremy \|work\=\[\[The Independent]]\|date\=22 March 2010 \|accessdate\=30 August 2023}}
In 2005, 26 [UK MPs](/wiki/Member_of_parliament%23United_Kingdom "Member of parliament#United Kingdom") signed an [Early Day Motion](/wiki/Early_Day_Motion "Early Day Motion") in Parliament expressing concern over BNF activities, and requesting more transparency.

### *The Bit in the Middle*
In 1984, Davies took over the lunchtime show. He called it *The Bit in the Middle* which consisted of features, such as 'The Day\-To\-Day Challenge', in which the same person would go on air each weekday to answer quiz questions and try to upgrade their prize, and 'Willy on the Plonker', which involved crazed [piano](/wiki/Piano "Piano")\-playing of a well\-known hit for listeners to identify.
On Sunday 6 September 1987 he presented the Sunday afternoon stereo countdown of the Top 40 from 5{{nbsp}}pm to 7{{nbsp}}pm, filling in for [Bruno Brookes](/wiki/Bruno_Brookes "Bruno Brookes").
Davies was promoted with the catchphrase "Young, Free and Single" and a [jingle](/wiki/Jingle "Jingle") "Wooh! Gary Davies".{{cite web\|url\=http://www.radiorewind.co.uk/radio1/gary\_davies\_page.htm\|title\=Radio Rewind: Gary Davies page}}
Davies' own show rarely changed until it was rebranded in 1991 as *Let's Do Lunch*, with new features, including 'Spin \& Win' (a variation on 'Willy on the Plonker', with a cryptic clue replacing the frenetic piano work) and the 'Classic Track' featuring a piece of classical music. Previous feature *The Sloppy Bit* (a dedication followed by love song) was unchanged but renamed 'Lots of Love'. He also introduced 'The Non Stop Half Hour' from after the 2\.30{{nbsp}}pm news until 3{{nbsp}}pm, which was half an hour of non\-stop music.
With updated technology, the chart rundown was moved forward to Sundays from 4 October 1987\. Instead, Davies did countdowns of the US chart and the UK album chart – although the US chart he featured was not the official *[Billboard](/wiki/Billboard_magazine "Billboard magazine")* one, but an airplay\-only chart compiled by *[Radio and Records](/wiki/Radio_and_Records "Radio and Records")* magazine.
### Weekends
In 1992, Davies moved from the lunchtime show to the weekend breakfast, keeping a selection of the features. He also started a Sunday late night slot. The 'Lots of Love' feature moved to this show, with dedications being read out over the music to *[Dances with Wolves](/wiki/Dances_with_Wolves "Dances with Wolves")*. During this period, he could also be heard deputising for weekday presenters who were taking their holidays, usually [Steve Wright](/wiki/Steve_Wright_%28DJ%29 "Steve Wright (DJ)") or [Nicky Campbell](/wiki/Nicky_Campbell "Nicky Campbell").
### Leaving BBC Radio 1
On 11 November 1993 Davies was dismissed. His last record was *[Layla](/wiki/Layla "Layla")* by [Derek and the Dominoes](/wiki/Eric_Clapton "Eric Clapton") — which had also been his first record on the station 11 years earlier.{{citation needed\|date\=October 2016}}
Davies was the last Radio 1 DJ to host *[Top of the Pops](/wiki/Top_of_the_Pops "Top of the Pops")* before the show's "year zero" revamp in October 1991\.

Ferries History
---------------
The first ferry on Lake Victoria started operation in 1900s during the [British](/wiki/British_Empire "British Empire") [colonial era](/wiki/Colonisation_of_Africa "Colonisation of Africa"), from the port of Kisumu. The original steamboats were later replaced by motor ships, some of which still operate on the lake. Almost all ferries (trains, cargo, passenger) in operation at the end of the 20th century were decades old. In 2018, most of them were still in operation. Newer 21st century\-built ferries made up the majority of all ferries on Lake Victoria as of 2018\. The number of ferries known to be in commercial operation in 2018 was about thirty in Tanzania, five in Uganda, and six in Kenya.
The largest ferries for the transport of cargo on Lake Victoria are the train ferries {{MV\|Umoja}}, {{MV\|Uhuru}}, {{MV\|Kaawa}} and {{MV\|Pemba}} engaged in international services between Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya. Each of them is able to transport 1180 tonnes of goods or 22 long rail waggons in four lanes (four tracks). In 2018, *Umoja* and *Kaawa* were in use between Port Bell and Mwanza, but the two ferries *Pemba* and *Uhuru* were suspended. The largest passenger ship on Lake Victoria is [MV *Victoria*](/wiki/MV_Victoria_%281959%29 "MV Victoria (1959)"), which can transport up to 1200 passengers. These five vessels are between 30\-60 years old and state\-owned.
New Ro\-Pax and Ro\-Ro multipurpose ferries have continued to come into operation in recent years, built and assembled in Mwanza in Tanzania. These ferries have increased in size and capacity over the years, with the newest additions coming close to the older large train ferries. Two new Tanzanian state\-owned Ro\-Pax ferries, *Misungwi* (2016\) and *Mwanza* (2018\), can each transport up to 1000 passengers including up to 36 cars or up to 250 tonnes of cargo. The largest privately\-owned ferry on Lake Victoria is a new Tanzanian Ro\-Pax ferry from 2016, the *Nyehunge II* with a transport capacity of 284 tonnes of goods or 40 cars and 500 passengers.
Apart from the motor vessels listed below, two steam ships more than 100 years old are reported to be still present on Lake Victoria in 2018, both in private hands: {{SS\|Nyanza}} and {{SS\|Rusinga}}, though *Nyanza* is suspended from operation in 2018\.

The 20th century ferries have almost entirely been designed and built outside Africa, mostly in the UK and Germany but were assembled at Lake Victoria from pre\-assembled parts. Most of the ferries delivered to several operators around Lake Victoria in the 21st century however have been designed and built in Tanzania through construction firms with [dockyards](/wiki/Dockyard "Dockyard") and floating [dry docks](/wiki/Dry_dock "Dry dock") located at Mwanza port. Most new ro\-ro ferries on Lake Victoria have been built by local *Songoro Marine Transport Ltd*, a company with construction services in Mwanza. Outside Mwanza, a new Kenyan company based in Kisumu, *Globology Ltd*, is planning to build and to operate up to 15 passenger\-only [catamaran](/wiki/Catamaran "Catamaran") passenger ferries until 2020\.

### Uganda Railway steamers
The original ships serving the [Uganda Railway](/wiki/Uganda_Railway "Uganda Railway") were built in the [United Kingdom](/wiki/United_Kingdom_of_Great_Britain_and_Ireland "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland") as "knock down" ships; that is, they were bolted together, all the parts marked with numbers, disassembled into thousands of parts, transported in kit form by sea to [Mombasa](/wiki/Mombasa "Mombasa") and by railway to Kisumu and reassembled.
{{SS\|William Mackinnon}} was built for the [Imperial British East Africa Company](/wiki/Imperial_British_East_Africa_Company "Imperial British East Africa Company") in 1890 by [Bow, McLachlan and Company](/wiki/Bow%2C_McLachlan_and_Company "Bow, McLachlan and Company") at [Paisley](/wiki/Paisley%2C_Renfrewshire "Paisley, Renfrewshire") in [Scotland](/wiki/Scotland "Scotland") but not launched at Kisumu until 1900\.{{cite web \|last1\= Cameron \|first1\= Stuart \|last2\=Biddulph \|first2\=Stuart \|last3\=Asprey \|first3\=David \|title\=SS William Mackinnon \|work\=Clyde\-built Database \|url\=http://www.clydesite.co.uk/clydebuilt/viewship.asp?id\=21150 \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20120616110759/http://www.clydesite.co.uk/clydebuilt/viewship.asp?id\=21150 \|url\-status\=usurped \|archive\-date\=2012\-06\-16 \|accessdate\= 2011\-05\-22}} In the [First World War](/wiki/First_World_War "First World War"), she was armed as a [gunboat](/wiki/Gunboat%23History "Gunboat#History").

In the [First World War East African Campaign](/wiki/East_African_Campaign_%28World_War_I%29 "East African Campaign (World War I)"), they were armed as gunboats. In 1914, *Sybil* was beached after striking a rock but she was refloated in 1915 and refitted and returned to service in 1916\. In 1924, *Sybil* was converted into a [lighter](/wiki/Lighter_%28barge%29 "Lighter (barge)"). *Winifred* was purposely sunk in 1936 to form a breakwater off Luamba Island. Her remains were scrapped in 1954\. In the 1950s, *Sybil* sank at her moorings but she was raised, restored as a passenger and cargo vessel, and in 1956 re\-entered service.

By 1970, the [East African Railways and Harbours Corporation](/wiki/East_African_Railways_and_Harbours_Corporation "East African Railways and Harbours Corporation") operated regular sailings clockwise around the lake from Kisumu, using rail ferries that carried rail wagons loaded directly from rail tracks extended on the jetties at Kisumu, Port Bell and Mwanza. The rail network linked to the [Indian Ocean](/wiki/Indian_Ocean "Indian Ocean") ports of [Mombasa](/wiki/Mombasa "Mombasa") and [Dar es Salaam](/wiki/Dar_es_Salaam "Dar es Salaam") which allowed countries of the African interior such as Uganda and [Rwanda](/wiki/Rwanda "Rwanda") to transport freight to and from world markets. Typical journey times were 13 hours between Port Bell in Uganda and Kisumu in Kenya, and 19 hours between Port Bell and Mwanza in Tanzania.
In 1977 EARH was dissolved and its assets divided between Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. *Uhuru* was transferred to the new [Kenya Railways Corporation](/wiki/Kenya_Railways_Corporation "Kenya Railways Corporation") (KRC) and *Umoja* and *Victoria* to the new [Tanzania Railways Corporation](/wiki/Tanzania_Railways_Corporation "Tanzania Railways Corporation") (TRC). In 1978, the new [Uganda Railways Corporation](/wiki/Uganda_Railways_Corporation "Uganda Railways Corporation") (URC) purchased three train ferries from Belgium, MV *Pemba*, MV *Kaawa* and MV *Kabalega*. However their production was interrupted by the war between Uganda and Tanzania that broke out in October 1978 and ended in April 1979\. The ferries were assembled after the war at Port Bell and launched in 1983\. TRC's Marine Division introduced the ferry {{MV\|Bukoba}} in about 1979{{cite web \|url\=http://www.asahi\-net.or.jp/\~ee1s\-ari/lake.html \|title\=Lake Victoria tragedy, Tanzania in May 21 \|author\=Arai Shin\-Ichi \|date\=1996\-05\-30 \|work\=Arai's Zanzibar, Tanzania Page \|publisher\=Arai Shin\-Ichi \|accessdate\=2011\-06\-26}} and the passenger and [cargo ship](/wiki/Cargo_ship "Cargo ship") {{MV\|Serengeti}} in 1988\.{{cite web \|url\=http://mscltz.com/preview\_008\.htm \|title\=MV.

### 21st century vessels and operations
Early in the 21st century, new Lake Victoria ro\-ro ferries were constructed at Mwanza port in Tanzania, in particular through the family\-owned and local *Songoro Marine Transport Ltd* in Tanzania. This added some dynamics to the ferry services sector on Lake Victoria and allowed several private companies to own and/or to operate new ferries, for example the Nyehunge ferries by Mohammed Seif, the owner of *Nyehunge IT Support Ltd*. In 2005, Tanzania founded a new state\-owned enterprise, [Tanzania Electrical, Mechanical and Electronics Services Agency](/wiki/Tanzania_Electrical%2C_Mechanical_and_Electronics_Services_Agency "Tanzania Electrical, Mechanical and Electronics Services Agency") (TEMESA), which received more than a dozen new and locally built and state\-owned ro\-ro ferries on Lake Victoria to operate them.
Also in 2005, the private [Rift Valley Railways Consortium](/wiki/Rift_Valley_Railways_Consortium "Rift Valley Railways Consortium") (RVR) was selected by the two parastatal railway corporations in Kenya (KRC) and Uganda (URC) to operate their joint railway network from 2006 on. RVR also took over the three remaining Lake Victoria train ferries of Uganda and Kenya (*Kabalega* sank in 2005\), *Pemba*, *Uhuru* and *Kaawa*. RVR suspended *Pemba* and *Kaawa* from service indefinitely and also stopped *Uhuru* from all operations in 2007 after the railway branch line of the Uganda Railway between Kisumu and [Nakuru](/wiki/Nakuru "Nakuru") dropped out of operations due to an aging railway infrastructure. The Lake Victoria railheads in Port Bell, Jinja and Kisumu, then also operated by RVR, went out of operation. The remaining Tanzanian train ferry, MV *Umoja* could only serve Tanzanian rail jetties and became almost suspended as well and was used for special purposes only. Except from the Tanzanian ferry business, which started to flourish due to the new ferries built and put into operation, the Ugandan and Kenyan ferry business on Lake Victoria appeared to be dilapidated.
In May 2008, the *[Daily Monitor](/wiki/Daily_Monitor "Daily Monitor")* stated that it expected the Ugandan government to announce in that year's budget speech a government allocation of [USh](/wiki/Ugandan_shilling "Ugandan shilling")14 billion to buy a new train ferry to replace *Kabalega*.{{cite web \|url\=http://allafrica.com/stories/200805300198\.html \|title\=Uganda: Gov't Set to Replace Sunken MV Kabalega \|last\=Biryabarema \|first\=Elias \|date\=2008\-05\-30 \|work\=\[\[Daily Monitor]] \|publisher\=Monitor Publications Limited \|accessdate\=2011\-05\-24}} However, in September 2009, the Uganda Radio Network said the Ugandan government was unlikely to replace *Kabalega* soon.{{cite web \|url\=http://ugandaradionetwork.com/a/story.php?s\=23859 \|title\=Sunken MV Kabalega Ship May not be Replaced Soon Says Government \|date\=2008\-05\-30 \|work\=Uganda Radio Network \|accessdate\=2011\-05\-24}} Instead, the Minister of Works proposed to improve port facilities at [Jinja](/wiki/Jinja%2C_Uganda "Jinja, Uganda") and Port Bell and let private operators run railway [car floats](/wiki/Car_float "Car float") with greater capacity than the ferries. The minister stated that *Kaawa* and *Pemba* would be reconditioned and returned to service and that private businesses had expressed an interest in raising *Kabalega* and restoring her to use as a private concession. In October 2009, the Ugandan government reiterated that it would recondition the *Pemba* and *Kaawa* and return them to service in 2010 and 2011 respectively.{{cite news \|title\=Uganda: Government to Repair Grounded Ships \|url\=http://allafrica.com/stories/200910300537\.html \|newspaper\=\[\[The Standard (Kenya)\|The Standard]] \|date\=2009\-10\-29 \|accessdate\=2011\-05\-17}} However, except words, no activities followed the announcements.
In 2010, new international passenger ferry services based on [catamarans](/wiki/Catamaran "Catamaran") were to be launched. A US based company, Earthwise Ventures, announced that it would bring a fleet of fast ferries to Lake Victoria to connect major ports on the lake.{{cite news \|title\=Everett man building fleet of ferries for Africa's Lake Victoria \|last\=Heim \|first\=Kristi \|url\=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2009674875\_africaferry17\.html \|newspaper\=\[\[Seattle Times]] \|date\=2009\-08\-17 }} Later on, the private Earthwise Ferries Ltd with branches in Tanzania and Uganda started to operate the first catamaran passenger ferry on Lake Victoria in 2012, the MV *Amani* at Port Bell in Uganda, followed by a sister ship in 2018, the *Bluebird* at Mwanza port in Tanzania. Also in 2010, a Scottish investor, Malcolm Ormiston, founded *Globology Ltd* in Kisumu, Kenya to build and to operate smaller catamaran passenger ferries to operate on Lake Victoria in Kenya and in Uganda under the brand name *Waterbus East Africa*. A first small and locally built catamaran, *Captain Dan* went into operation in 2010\. In 2017, Globology intended to start to build 3\-5 catamaran passenger ferries per year each with a capacity to transport 120 passengers.{{cite web\|title\=Scottish investor breathes new life into dilapidated L Victoria transport service\|url\=https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/magazines/Scottish\-investor\-breathes\-new\-life\-into\-dilapidated\-victoria/1248928\-3512738\-6kj5apz/index.html\|publisher\=Nation Media Group\|newspaper\=Business Daily Africa\|date\=10 January 2017\|accessdate\=26 September 2018}}
As of April 2013, only [Tanzania Railways'](/wiki/Tanzania_Railways_Corporation "Tanzania Railways Corporation") [Central Line](/wiki/Central_Line_%28Tanzania%29 "Central Line (Tanzania)") was operating freight rail services from Mwanza to [Tabora](/wiki/Tabora "Tabora"), [Dodoma](/wiki/Dodoma "Dodoma") and Dar es Salaam and therefore connecting the Lake Victoria freight services with the world market.
In 2017, the contract with RVR was cancelled in both Kenya and Uganda due to financial irregularities, both KRC and URC restarted the operations on their respective railway networks. URC also restarted the services at the railhead in Port Bell, the train ferry *Kaawa* was repaired and refurbished and put back into operation. In a similar manner, the train ferry *Umoja* on the Tanzanian side was repaired and refurbished. In June 2018, the [EastAfrican](/wiki/EastAfrican "EastAfrican") reported that 1180\-tonne *Umoja* began regular service again between Mwanza and Port Bell, plying the route 26 times every month. It is also expected that *Kaawa*, registered in Uganda, will join *Umoja* on the route. The [Dar es Salaam](/wiki/Dar_es_Salaam "Dar es Salaam") to Kampala route costs US$65 per tonne, compared to US$90 per tonne on the [Mombasa](/wiki/Mombasa "Mombasa") to [Kampala](/wiki/Kampala "Kampala") route, as of June 2018\.{{cite web \|newspaper\=\[\[The EastAfrican]] \| url\=https://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/business/Uganda\-resumes\-cargo\-operations\-on\-Lake\-Victoria/2560\-4633876\-4i2cdq/index.html \|title\=Uganda resumes cargo operations on Lake Victoria after a decade \|access\-date\=28 June 2018 \|date\=27 June 2018 \|first\=Julius \|last\=Barigaba \|location\=Nairobi}}{{cite web\| url\=https://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/business/Tanzania\-unveils\-cargo\-train\-to\-Uganda/2560\-4654108\-y39fkaz/index.html \| title\=Tanzania unveils cargo train to Uganda \|access\-date\=10 July 2018 \|date\=9 July 2018 \|newspaper\=\[\[The EastAfrican]] \|last\=Tairo

"Early in the 21st century, new Lake Victoria ro\\-ro ferries were constructed at Mwanza port in Tanzania, in particular through the family\\-owned and local *Songoro Marine Transport Ltd* in Tanzania. This added some dynamics to the ferry services sector on Lake Victoria and allowed several private companies to own and/or to operate new ferries, for example the Nyehunge ferries by Mohammed Seif, the owner of *Nyehunge IT Support Ltd*. In 2005, Tanzania founded a new state\\-owned enterprise, [Tanzania Electrical, Mechanical and Electronics Services Agency](/wiki/Tanzania_Electrical%2C_Mechanical_and_Electronics_Services_Agency \"Tanzania Electrical, Mechanical and Electronics Services Agency\") (TEMESA), which received more than a dozen new and locally built and state\\-owned ro\\-ro ferries on Lake Victoria to operate them.",

RVR also took over the three remaining Lake Victoria train ferries of Uganda and Kenya (*Kabalega* sank in 2005\\), *Pemba*, *Uhuru* and *Kaawa*. RVR suspended *Pemba* and *Kaawa* from service indefinitely and also stopped *Uhuru* from all operations in 2007 after the railway branch line of the Uganda Railway between Kisumu and [Nakuru](/wiki/Nakuru \"Nakuru\") dropped out of operations due to an aging railway infrastructure. The Lake Victoria railheads in Port Bell, Jinja and Kisumu, then also operated by RVR, went out of operation. The remaining Tanzanian train ferry, MV *Umoja* could only serve Tanzanian rail jetties and became almost suspended as well and was used for special purposes only.

Personal life
-------------
Bidamon was born in [Smithfield, Virginia](/wiki/Smithfield%2C_Virginia "Smithfield, Virginia"). When he was fourteen years old, his family moved to [Highland County, Ohio](/wiki/Highland_County%2C_Ohio "Highland County, Ohio"). He later relocated to [Canton, Illinois](/wiki/Canton%2C_Illinois "Canton, Illinois"). In 1846, just as the Latter Day Saints were beginning to depart [Nauvoo, Illinois](/wiki/Nauvoo%2C_Illinois "Nauvoo, Illinois"), Bidamon moved to Nauvoo. He was a [lieutenant colonel](/wiki/Lieutenant_colonel "Lieutenant colonel") of the 32nd Regiment of the Illinois militia, and he helped control the violence being perpetuated against the Latter Day Saints. Because of his position in the Illinois militia, he was often referred to as "Major" Bidamon.
Bidamon married Nancy Sebree in 1827, with whom he had four children. During this first marriage, he also fathered a child with another woman. After Nancy Bidamon died, Lewis Bidamon married Mary Ann Douglas in 1842, but the marriage only lasted six months. He moved to Nauvoo after he was divorced from his second wife.
Unlike the majority of Latter Day Saints, Emma Smith did not follow [Brigham Young](/wiki/Brigham_Young "Brigham Young")'s suggestion that the Latter Day Saints leave Nauvoo and settle in the [Salt Lake Valley](/wiki/Salt_Lake_Valley "Salt Lake Valley") in present\-day [Utah](/wiki/Utah "Utah"). Her husband Joseph Smith [had been killed in 1844](/wiki/Death_of_Joseph_Smith_Jr. "Death of Joseph Smith Jr."), and after his death Emma Smith decided to remain in Nauvoo. On 23 December 1847, which would have been Joseph's 42nd birthday, Bidamon and Smith were married in Nauvoo by a [Methodist](/wiki/Methodist "Methodist") [circuit rider](/wiki/Circuit_rider_%28religious%29 "Circuit rider (religious)").{{cite web\|url\=http://www.josephsmithjr.org/faq/88\-why\-did\-emma\-marry\-lewis\-crum\-bidaman\-on\-josephs\-birthday \|title\=Emma's Marriage to Lewis Crum Bidamon \|accessdate\=2011\-04\-08 \|url\-status\=dead \|archiveurl\=https://web.archive.org/web/20120322123725/http://www.josephsmithjr.org/faq/88\-why\-did\-emma\-marry\-lewis\-crum\-bidaman\-on\-josephs\-birthday \|archivedate\=2012\-03\-22 }} At the time of the marriage, Bidamon was the father of two daughters (his two sons had died) and Emma was the mother of five surviving children. Bidamon was not a [Latter Day Saint](/wiki/Latter_Day_Saint "Latter Day Saint"); he believed that Joseph Smith was an honest man but that Smith had somehow been deceived into believing he was a prophet. Bidamon had been raised as a [Lutheran](/wiki/Lutheran "Lutheran"), and he had helped establish a [Congregational](/wiki/Congregationalist "Congregationalist") church in Canton, Illinois, but in general he did not consider himself to be religious.
Bidamon traveled to California during the [gold rush](/wiki/California_Gold_Rush "California Gold Rush") and during the [American Civil War](/wiki/American_Civil_War "American Civil War") he was a major and colonel in the Illinois militia. He lived in Nauvoo until his death, and on numerous occasions was elected a [justice of the peace](/wiki/Justice_of_the_peace "Justice of the peace") and a police magistrate for the city. He was also a businessman and ran a number of ventures in Illinois and on the [Mississippi River](/wiki/Mississippi_River "Mississippi River"). The Bidamons lived in the [Mansion House](/wiki/Mansion_House_%28Nauvoo%2C_Illinois%29 "Mansion House (Nauvoo, Illinois)"), which Joseph Smith had begun constructing prior to his death in 1844\. In 1871, they moved to the [Nauvoo House](/wiki/Nauvoo_House "Nauvoo House"), which Bidamon converted into a smaller structure they called Riverside Mansion. Emma and Lewis Bidamon both lived in the Nauvoo House until their deaths.
In 1864, during his seventeenth year of marriage to Emma, Bidamon fathered the child of Nancy Abercrombie, a widow who had recently moved to Nauvoo. After Emma died in 1879, Lewis Bidamon married Abercrombie. He was married to her until his death. Bidamon was buried at the [Smith Family Cemetery](/wiki/Smith_Family_Cemetery "Smith Family Cemetery") in Nauvoo.["Maj Lewis Crum Bidamon"](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/9288183/lewis-crum-bidamon), findagrave.com.

The Bidamons lived in the [Mansion House](/wiki/Mansion_House_%28Nauvoo%2C_Illinois%29 \"Mansion House (Nauvoo, Illinois)\"), which Joseph Smith had begun constructing prior to his death in 1844\\. In 1871, they moved to the [Nauvoo House](/wiki/Nauvoo_House \"Nauvoo House\"), which Bidamon converted into a smaller structure they called Riverside Mansion. Emma and Lewis Bidamon both lived in the Nauvoo House until their deaths.",
"In 1864, during his seventeenth year of marriage to Emma, Bidamon fathered the child of Nancy Abercrombie, a widow who had recently moved to Nauvoo. After Emma died in 1879, Lewis Bidamon married Abercrombie. He was married to her until his death. Bidamon was buried at the [Smith Family Cemetery](/wiki/Smith_Family_Cemetery \"Smith Family Cemetery\") in Nauvoo.[\"Maj Lewis Crum Bidamon\"](https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/9288183/lewis-crum-bidamon), findagrave.com.",

History

In rural areas, and historical times, access to nature has not been a problem. Over the last century, with increasing urbanisation and "[nature deficit disorder](/wiki/Nature_deficit_disorder "Nature deficit disorder")", there have been many changes in stance on [outdoor education](/wiki/Outdoor_education "Outdoor education").
The first forest kindergarten was created by Ella Flautau in [Denmark](/wiki/Denmark "Denmark") in the early 1950s. The idea formed gradually as a result of her often spending time with her own and neighbors' children in a nearby forest, a form of daycare which elicited great interest among the neighborhood parents. The parents formed a group and created an initiative to establish the first forest kindergarten.
In [Sweden](/wiki/Sweden "Sweden") in 1957, an ex\-military man, Gösta Frohm, created the idea of "Skogsmulle".[Skogsmulle Foundation](https://web.archive.org/web/20020606150310/http://www.skogsmullestiftelsen.org/eng/index.htm) "Skog" means wood in Swedish. "Mulle" is one of four fictional characters he created to teach children about nature, along with "Laxe" representing water, "Fjällfina" representing mountains and "Nova" representing an unpolluted nature. [Forest schools](/wiki/Forest_schools "Forest schools") based on Frohm's model, called "I Ur och Skur" (Rain or Shine Schools) moved the idea from occasional activities to formal nursery schools, being set up by Siw Linde in 1985\. Juliet Robertson's review of Skogsmulle is a valuable modern\-day summary.{{citation\|url\=http://www.creativestarlearning.co.uk/Flexviews/core/assets/rain%20or%20shine%20schools%20in%20sweden%20report.pdf\|title\=Swedish Forest Kindergartens, Part 1\|publisher\=Creative Star Learning Company\|first\=Juliet\|last\=Robertson\|year\=2008\|url\-status\=dead\|archiveurl\=https://web.archive.org/web/20120306084834/http://www.creativestarlearning.co.uk/Flexviews/core/assets/rain%20or%20shine%20schools%20in%20sweden%20report.pdf\|archivedate\=2012\-03\-06}}{{citation\|url\=http://www.creativestarlearning.co.uk/Flexviews/core/assets/mulleborg%20skogsknattarna%20%20forest%20school%20report%2008\.pdf\|title\=Swedish Forest Kindergartens, Part 2\|publisher\=Creative Star Learning Company\|first\=Juliet\|last\=Robertson\|year\=2008\|url\-status\=dead\|archiveurl\=https://web.archive.org/web/20120306084915/http://www.creativestarlearning.co.uk/Flexviews/core/assets/mulleborg%20skogsknattarna%20%20forest%20school%20report%2008\.pdf\|archivedate\=2012\-03\-06}}
Nature kindergartens have existed in [Germany](/wiki/Germany "Germany") since 1968 but the first forest kindergarten was first officially recognized as a form of daycare in 1993, enabling state subsidies to reduce the daycare fees of children who attended forest kindergarten.

As of 2005 there were approximately 450 forest kindergartens in Germany, some of which offer a mix of forest kindergarten and traditional daycare, spending their mornings in the forest and afternoons inside.

History
-------
In 1954, Galt Broadcasting launched **CKGR**, 1110 [AM](/wiki/AM_broadcasting "AM broadcasting"), a daytimer. With an ownership change in 1956, the station adopted the new call sign **CFTJ**.
In 1975, CFTJ moved to AM 1320, and [CKKW](/wiki/CKKW-FM "CKKW-FM") in nearby [Kitchener](/wiki/Kitchener%2C_Ontario "Kitchener, Ontario") moved from 1320 to 1090\. Concurrently with this change, CFTJ moved to 24\-hour broadcasting. This was planned as a temporary move — with [CFGM](/wiki/CFMJ "CFMJ") in [Richmond Hill](/wiki/Richmond_Hill%2C_Ontario "Richmond Hill, Ontario") scheduled to move to the 1320 frequency in 1978, CFTJ moved again to AM 960 in 1977\.
In 1987, the station changed its call sign again, to **CIAM**, and was acquired by Kawartha Broadcasting. Kawartha became a division of Power Broadcasting in 1989\.
On June 25, 1997, the station was licensed by the [CRTC](/wiki/Canadian_Radio-television_and_Telecommunications_Commission "Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission") to move to the FM band.[Decision CRTC 97\-271](http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1997/DB97-271.HTM) It completed the move on May 25, 1998, launching on 92\.9 FM with the new call sign **CIZN\-FM** and a [hot adult contemporary](/wiki/Hot_adult_contemporary "Hot adult contemporary") format branded as *The Zone*.
In 2000, the station was purchased by its current owner, [Corus Entertainment](/wiki/Corus_Entertainment "Corus Entertainment"). Corus applied to the CRTC to move the station's frequency to 107\.5 in 2002, due to the weak 92\.9 signal impairing the station's financial stability. On February 14, 2003, the station received CRTC approval.[Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2003\-51](http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2003/db2003-51.htm) CIZN left the air on July 20, 2003\. On July 21, 2003, the station launched on 107\.5 FM with its current call sign **CJDV\-FM** and adopted a [classic hits](/wiki/Classic_hits "Classic hits") format known as *107\.5 Dave FM, 80's, 90's, Anything We Feel Like*.
[thumb\|Dave FM logo (2003–2009\)\|left\|180px](/wiki/Image:CJDV_FM.jpg "CJDV FM.jpg")
In 2006, the CRTC denied Corus's application to increase CJDV's average [effective radiated power](/wiki/Effective_radiated_power "Effective radiated power") (ERP) from 2,500 [watts](/wiki/Watt "Watt") to 6,800 watts.[Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2006\-261](http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2006/db2006-261.htm) In certain regions of its market area, CJDV has experienced recurring [co\-channel interference](/wiki/Co-channel_interference "Co-channel interference") from [CKMB\-FM](/wiki/CKMB-FM "CKMB-FM") in [Barrie](/wiki/Barrie "Barrie"), [Ontario](/wiki/Ontario "Ontario") which also operates at 107\.5 [MHz](/wiki/Hertz "Hertz").
On January 14, 2009, at 8 a.m., CJDV changed its format to [mainstream rock](/wiki/Mainstream_rock "Mainstream rock") and adopted a new slogan "Tri\-Cities' Best Rock" but kept the "Dave FM" branding.
On August 14, 2009, CJDV moved into a new broadcast facility with sister station [CKBT\-FM](/wiki/CKBT-FM "CKBT-FM") at 50 Sportsworld Crossing Road, [Kitchener](/wiki/Kitchener%2C_Ontario "Kitchener, Ontario").

Ancient period
--------------
### Ancient China
{{main\|History of alcohol in China}}
The earliest evidence of wine was found in what is now [China](/wiki/China "China"), where jars from [Jiahu](/wiki/Jiahu "Jiahu") which date to about 7000 BC were discovered. This early [rice wine](/wiki/Rice_wine "Rice wine") was produced by fermenting rice, honey, and fruit.{{cite book \| last \= McGovern \| first \= Patrick E. \| year \= 2003 \| title \= Ancient Wine: The Search for the Origins of Viniculture \| publisher \= Princeton University Press \| location \= Princeton \| isbn \= 978\-0\-691\-07080\-3 \| page \= 314}} What later developed into Chinese civilization grew up along the more northerly [Yellow River](/wiki/Yellow_River "Yellow River") and fermented a kind of [huangjiu](/wiki/Huangjiu "Huangjiu") from [millet](/wiki/Millet "Millet"). The [Zhou](/wiki/Zhou_dynasty "Zhou dynasty") attached great importance to alcohol and ascribed the loss of the [mandate of Heaven](/wiki/Mandate_of_Heaven "Mandate of Heaven") by the earlier [Xia](/wiki/Xia_dynasty "Xia dynasty") and [Shang](/wiki/Shang_dynasty "Shang dynasty") as largely due to their dissolute and alcoholic emperors. An edict ascribed to {{circa\|lk\=no\|1116}} BC makes it clear that the use of alcohol in moderation was believed to be prescribed by heaven.
Unlike the traditions in Europe and the Middle East, [China](/wiki/China "China") abandoned the production of [grape wine](/wiki/Wine_in_China "Wine in China") before the advent of writing and, under the [Han](/wiki/Han_dynasty "Han dynasty"), abandoned [beer](/wiki/Beer_in_China "Beer in China") in favor of [huangjiu](/wiki/Huangjiu "Huangjiu") and other forms of [rice wine](/wiki/Rice_wine "Rice wine"). These naturally fermented to a strength of about 20% [ABV](/wiki/Alcohol_by_volume "Alcohol by volume"); they were usually consumed warmed and frequently flavored with additives as part of [traditional Chinese medicine](/wiki/Traditional_Chinese_medicine "Traditional Chinese medicine"). They considered it spiritual food and extensive documentary evidence attests to the important role it played in [religious life](/wiki/Chinese_folk_religion "Chinese folk religion"). "In ancient times people always drank when holding a memorial ceremony, offering sacrifices to gods or their ancestors, pledging resolution before going into battle, celebrating victory, before feuding and official executions, for taking an oath of allegiance, while attending the ceremonies of birth, marriage, reunions, departures, death, and festival banquets."{{citation needed\|date\=October 2015}} [Marco Polo](/wiki/Marco_Polo "Marco Polo")'s 14th century record indicates grain and rice wine were drunk daily and were one of the treasury's biggest sources of income.
Alcoholic beverages were widely used in all segments of Chinese society, were used as a source of inspiration, were important for hospitality, were considered an antidote for fatigue, and were sometimes misused. Laws against making wine were enacted and repealed forty\-one times between 1100 BC and AD 1400\. However, a commentator writing around 650 BC asserted that people "will not do without beer. To prohibit it and secure total [abstinence](/wiki/Abstinence "Abstinence") from it is beyond the power even of sages. Hence, therefore, we have warnings on the abuse of it."Preventing Alcohol Abuse: Alcohol, Culture, and Control

The [Chinese](/wiki/China "China") may have independently developed the process of [distillation](/wiki/Distillation "Distillation") in the early centuries of the [Common Era](/wiki/Common_Era "Common Era"), during the [Eastern Han](/wiki/Eastern_Han "Eastern Han") dynasty.
### Ancient Persia (or Ancient Iran)
A major step forward in our understanding of Neolithic winemaking came from the analysis of a yellowish residue excavated by Mary M. Voigt at the site of [Hajji Firuz Tepe](/wiki/Hajji_Firuz_Tepe "Hajji Firuz Tepe") in the northern [Zagros Mountains](/wiki/Zagros_Mountains "Zagros Mountains") of Iran. The jar that once contained wine, with a volume of about 9 liters (2\.5 gallons) was found together with five similar jars embedded in the earthen floor along one wall of a "kitchen" of a Neolithic mudbrick building, dated to c. 5400–5000 BC.{{cite web \|url\=http://www.penn.museum/sites/wine/wineneolithic.html \|title\=The Origins and Ancient History of Wine \|last1\=McGovern \|first1\=Patrick E. \|website\=Penn Museum \|access\-date\=19 March 2015}} In such communities, winemaking was the best technology they had for storing highly perishable grapes, although whether the resulting beverage was intended for intoxication as well as nourishment is not known.
### Ancient Egypt
[Brewing](/wiki/Brewing "Brewing") dates from the beginning of civilization in [ancient Egypt](/wiki/Ancient_Egypt "Ancient Egypt"), and alcoholic beverages were very important at that time. Egyptian brewing began in the city of [Hierakonpolis](/wiki/Nekhen "Nekhen") around 3400 BC; its ruins contain the remains of the world's oldest brewery, which was capable of producing up to three hundred gallons (1,136 liters) per day of beer. Symbolic of this is the fact that while many gods were local or familial, [Osiris](/wiki/Osiris "Osiris") was worshiped throughout the entire country. Osiris was believed to be the god of the dead, of life, of vegetable regeneration, and of wine.{{cite journal \|last1\=Wissler \|first1\=Clark \|author\-link1\=Clark Wissler \|last2\=Mok \|first2\=Michel \|date\= May 1932 \|editor1\-last\=Brown \|editor1\-first\=Raymond J. \|title\=Stone Age Had Booze and Prohibition \|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=1ScDAAAAMBAJ\&q\=Popular\+Science\+1931\+plane\&pg\=PA44 \|journal\=\[\[Popular Science]] \|volume\=120 \|issue\=5 \|pages\=44–46, 121–123 \|issn\=0161\-7370 \|access\-date\=19 March 2015}}
Both beer and wine were deified and offered to gods. Cellars and wine presses even had a god whose [hieroglyph](/wiki/Hieroglyph "Hieroglyph") was a winepress. The ancient Egyptians made at least 17 types of beer and at least 24 varieties of wine. The most common type of beer was known as hqt. Beer was the drink of common laborers; financial accounts report that the Giza pyramid builders were allotted a daily beer ration of one and one\-third gallons. Alcoholic beverages were used for pleasure, nutrition, medicine, ritual, remuneration, and funerary purposes. The latter involved storing the beverages in tombs of the deceased for their use in the after\-life.
Numerous accounts of the period stressed the importance of moderation, and these norms were both secular and religious. While Egyptians did not generally appear to define drunkenness as a problem, they warned against [taverns](/wiki/Taverns "Taverns") (which were often houses of [prostitution](/wiki/Prostitution "Prostitution")) and excessive drinking. After reviewing extensive evidence regarding the widespread but generally moderate use of alcoholic beverages, the nutritional biochemist and historian [William J. Darby](/wiki/William_J._Darby "William J. Darby") makes a most important observation: all these accounts are warped by the fact that moderate users "were overshadowed by their more boisterous counterparts who added 'color' to history." Thus, the intemperate use of alcohol throughout history receives a disproportionate amount of attention. Those who [excessively use alcohol](/wiki/Alcohol_use_disorder "Alcohol use disorder") cause problems, draw attention to themselves, are highly visible and cause legislation to be enacted. The vast majority of drinkers, who neither experience nor cause difficulties, are not noteworthy. Consequently, observers and writers largely ignore moderation.
Evidence of [distillation](/wiki/Distillation "Distillation") comes from [alchemists](/wiki/Alchemists "Alchemists") working in [Alexandria](/wiki/Alexandria%2C_Egypt "Alexandria, Egypt"), [Roman Egypt](/wiki/Roman_Egypt "Roman Egypt"), in the 1st century AD.{{cite book\|last\=Forbes\|first\=Robert James\|title\=A short history of the art of distillation: from the beginnings up to the death of Cellier Blumenthal\|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=XeqWOkKYn28C\|access\-date\=29 June 2010\|year\=1970\|publisher\=BRILL\|isbn\=978\-90\-04\-00617\-1}} [Distilled water](/wiki/Distilled_water "Distilled water") has been known since at least c. 200 AD, when [Alexander of Aphrodisias](/wiki/Alexander_of_Aphrodisias "Alexander of Aphrodisias") described the process.{{Cite journal \| doi \= 10\.1080/00033794500201451 \| issn \= 0003\-3790 \| volume \= 5 \| issue \= 3 \| page \= 186 \| last \= Taylor \| first \= F.

### Ancient Babylon
Beer was the major beverage among the [Babylonians](/wiki/Babylonia "Babylonia"), and as early as 2700 BC they worshiped a wine goddess and other wine deities. Babylonians regularly used both beer and wine as offerings to their gods. Around 1750 BC, the famous [Code of Hammurabi](/wiki/Code_of_Hammurabi "Code of Hammurabi") devoted attention to alcohol. However, there were no penalties for drunkenness; in fact, it was not even mentioned. The concern was fair commerce in alcohol. Although it was not a crime, the Babylonians were critical of drunkenness.{{citation needed\|date\=May 2017}}
### Ancient India
Alcohol production was occurring in [India](/wiki/India "India") as early as 2000 BCE.{{cite book\|title\=Genomics and Health in the Developing World\|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=74toAgAAQBAJ\&pg\=PA1128\|page\=1128\|author\=Dhawendra Kumar\|publisher\=Oxford University Press\|isbn \= 9780199705474\|date \= 11 May 2012}} Alcoholic beverages in the [Indus Valley civilization](/wiki/Indus_Valley_civilization "Indus Valley civilization") appeared in the [Chalcolithic Era](/wiki/Chalcolithic "Chalcolithic"). These beverages were in use between 3000 BC and 2000 BC. *[Sura](/wiki/Sura_%28alcoholic_beverage%29 "Sura (alcoholic beverage)")*, a beverage brewed from rice meal, wheat, sugar cane, grapes, and other fruits, was popular among the [Kshatriya](/wiki/Kshatriya "Kshatriya") [warriors](/wiki/Warrior "Warrior") and the peasant population.Alcohol and Pleasure: A Health Perspective By [Stanton Peele](/wiki/Stanton_Peele "Stanton Peele"), Marcus Grant.

The [Hindu](/wiki/Hindu "Hindu") [Ayurvedic](/wiki/Ayurveda "Ayurveda") texts describe both the beneficent uses of consuming alcoholic beverages and the consequences of intoxication and alcoholic diseases. [Ayurvedic](/wiki/Ayurveda "Ayurveda") texts concluded that alcohol was a medicine if consumed in moderation, but a poison if consumed in excess. Most of the people in [India](/wiki/India "India") and [China](/wiki/China "China"), have continued, throughout, to ferment a portion of their crops and nourish themselves with the alcoholic product.
In ancient India, alcohol was also used by the orthodox population. Early [Vedic literature](/wiki/Vedic_literature "Vedic literature") suggests the use of alcohol by priestly classes.{{cite book \|last\=Mathew \|first\=Roy J. \|date\=18 February 2009 \|title\=The True Path: Western Science and the Quest for Yoga \|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=cAaZWZwSHqgC\&pg\=PA131 \|publisher\=Basic Books \|page\=131 \|isbn\=978\-0738206813}}
The two great Hindu epics, [Ramayana](/wiki/Ramayana "Ramayana") and [Mahabharata](/wiki/Mahabharata "Mahabharata"), mention the use of alcohol. In Ramayana, alcohol consumption is depicted in a good/bad dichotomy. The bad faction members consumed meat and alcohol while the good faction members were abstinent vegetarians. However, in Mahabharata, the characters are not portrayed in such a black\-white contrast.{{Cite book\|title\=International handbook on alcohol and culture\|first\=Dwight\|last\=Heath\|publisher\=Greenwood Publishing Group\|url\=https://archive.org/details/internationalhand00heat\|url\-access\=registration\|page\=\[https://archive.org/details/internationalhand00heat/page/131 131]\|year\=1995\|isbn\=978\-0\-313\-25234\-1}}
Alcohol abstinence was promoted as a moral value in India by [Mahavira](/wiki/Mahavira "Mahavira"), the founder of Jainism, and [Adi Shankaracharya](/wiki/Adi_Shankaracharya "Adi Shankaracharya").
Distillation was known in the ancient [Indian subcontinent](/wiki/Indian_subcontinent "Indian subcontinent"), evident from baked clay [retorts](/wiki/Retort "Retort") and receivers found at [Taxila](/wiki/Taxila "Taxila") and [Charsadda](/wiki/Charsadda "Charsadda") in modern [Pakistan](/wiki/Pakistan "Pakistan"), dating back to the early centuries of the [Common Era](/wiki/Common_Era "Common Era"). These "[Gandhara](/wiki/Gandhara "Gandhara") stills" were only capable of producing very weak [liquor](/wiki/Liquor "Liquor"), as there was no efficient means of collecting the vapors at low heat.[Irfan Habib](/wiki/Irfan_Habib "Irfan Habib") (2011\), [*Economic History of Medieval India, 1200–1500*, page 55](https://books.google.com/books?id=K8kO4J3mXUAC&pg=PA55), [Pearson Education](/wiki/Pearson_Education "Pearson Education")
### Ancient Greece
While the art of wine making reached the [Hellenic](/wiki/Ancient_Greece "Ancient Greece") peninsula by about 2000 BC, the first alcoholic beverage to obtain widespread popularity in what is now Greece was [mead](/wiki/Mead "Mead"), a fermented beverage made from honey and water. However, by 1700 BC, wine making was commonplace. During the next thousand years wine drinking assumed the same function so commonly found around the world: It was incorporated into religious rituals. It became important in hospitality, used for medicinal purposes, and became an integral part of daily meals. As a beverage, it was drunk in many ways: warm and chilled, pure and mixed with water, plain and spiced. Alcohol, specifically wine, was considered so important to the Greeks that consumption was considered a defining characteristic of the Hellenic culture between their society and the rest of the world; those who did not drink were considered barbarians.
While habitual drunkenness was rare, intoxication at banquets and festivals was not unusual. In fact, the [symposium](/wiki/Symposium "Symposium"), a gathering of men for an evening of conversation, entertainment and drinking typically ended in intoxication. However, while there are no references in ancient Greek literature to mass drunkenness among the Greeks, there are references to it among foreign peoples. By 425 BC, warnings against intemperance, especially at symposia, appear to become more frequent.
[Xenophon](/wiki/Xenophon "Xenophon") (431–351 BC) and [Plato](/wiki/Plato "Plato") (429–347 BC) both praised the moderate use of wine as beneficial to health and happiness, but both were critical of drunkenness, which appears to have become a problem. Plato also believed that no one under the age of eighteen should be allowed to touch wine. [Hippocrates](/wiki/Hippocrates "Hippocrates") (cir. 460–370 BC) identified numerous medicinal properties of wine, which had long been used for its therapeutic value. Later, both [Aristotle](/wiki/Aristotle "Aristotle") (384–322 BC) and [Zeno](/wiki/Zeno_of_Citium "Zeno of Citium") (cir. 336–264 BC) were very critical of drunkenness.
Among Greeks, the [Macedonians](/wiki/Ancient_Macedonians "Ancient Macedonians") viewed intemperance as a sign of masculinity and were well known for their drunkenness. Their king, [Alexander the Great](/wiki/Alexander_the_Great "Alexander the Great") (356–323 BC), whose mother adhered to the Dionysian cult, developed a reputation for inebriety.
### Ancient Rome
Bacchus, the god of wine{{snd}}for the Greeks, [Dionysus](/wiki/Dionysus "Dionysus"){{snd}}is the patron deity of agriculture and the theater. He was also known as the Liberator (Eleutherios), freeing one from one's normal self, by madness, ecstasy, or wine. The divine mission of Dionysus was to mingle the music of the aulos and to bring an end to care and worry. The Romans would hold dinner parties where wine was served to the guest all day along with a three course feast. Scholars have discussed Dionysus' relationship to the "cult of the souls" and his ability to preside over communication between the living and the dead.
The Roman belief that wine was a daily necessity made the drink "democratic" and ubiquitous: wine was available to slaves, peasants, women and aristocrats alike. To ensure the steady supply of wine to Roman soldiers and colonists, viticulture and wine production spread to every part of the empire. The Romans diluted their wine before drinking. Wine was also used for religious purposes, in the pouring of libations to deities.
Though beer was drunk in [Ancient Rome](/wiki/Ancient_Rome "Ancient Rome"), it was replaced in popularity by wine.Ilaria Gozzini Giacosa, {{Cite book \|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=KVbBA3x9wW0C\&pg\=PA16 \|title\=A Taste of Ancient Rome \|pages\=191 \|publisher\=University of Chicago Press \|isbn\=978\-0\-226\-29032\-4 \|date\=2 May 1994 }} [Tacitus](/wiki/Gaius_Cornelius_Tacitus "Gaius Cornelius Tacitus") wrote disparagingly of the beer brewed by the [Germanic peoples](/wiki/Germanic_peoples "Germanic peoples") of his day. [Thracians](/wiki/Thracians "Thracians") were also known to consume beer made from rye, even since the 5th century BC, as the ancient Greek logographer [Hellanicus of Lesbos](/wiki/Hellanicus_of_Lesbos "Hellanicus of Lesbos") says. Their name for beer was *brutos*, or *brytos*. The Romans called their brew *cerevisia*, from the Celtic word for it. Beer was apparently enjoyed by some [Roman legionaries](/wiki/Roman_legion "Roman legion"). For instance, among the [Vindolanda tablets](/wiki/Vindolanda_tablets "Vindolanda tablets") (from [Vindolanda](/wiki/Vindolanda "Vindolanda") in [Roman Britain](/wiki/Roman_Britain "Roman Britain"), dated c. 97–103 AD), the cavalry [decurion](/wiki/Decurion_%28military%29 "Decurion (military)") Masculus wrote a letter to prefect Flavius Cerialis inquiring about the exact instructions for his men for the following day. This included a polite request for beer to be sent to the garrison (which had entirely consumed its previous stock of beer).{{cite web \|first\=Mike \|last\=Ibeji \|date\=16 November 2012 \|url\=https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/romans/vindolanda\_01\.shtml \|title\=Vindolanda \|publisher\=BBC}}
### Pre\-Columbian America
Several [Native American](/wiki/Indigenous_peoples_of_the_Americas "Indigenous peoples of the Americas") civilizations developed alcoholic beverages. Many versions of these beverages are still produced today.

In some cultures, in lieu of germinating the maize to release the starches, the maize is ground, moistened in the chicha maker's mouth and formed into small balls which are then flattened and laid out to dry. Naturally occurring [diastase](/wiki/Diastase "Diastase") [enzymes](/wiki/Enzymes "Enzymes") in the maker's saliva [catalyze](/wiki/Catalysis "Catalysis") the breakdown of [starch](/wiki/Starch "Starch") in the maize into [maltose](/wiki/Maltose "Maltose"). Chicha de jora has been prepared and consumed in communities throughout in the Andes for millennia. The [Inca](/wiki/Tahuantinsuyu "Tahuantinsuyu") used chicha for ritual purposes and consumed it in vast quantities during religious festivals. In recent years, however, the traditionally prepared chicha is becoming increasingly rare. Only in a small number of towns and villages in southern [Peru](/wiki/Peru "Peru") and [Bolivia](/wiki/Bolivia "Bolivia") is it still prepared.

The [Zhou](/wiki/Zhou_dynasty \"Zhou dynasty\") attached great importance to alcohol and ascribed the loss of the [mandate of Heaven](/wiki/Mandate_of_Heaven \"Mandate of Heaven\") by the earlier [Xia](/wiki/Xia_dynasty \"Xia dynasty\") and [Shang](/wiki/Shang_dynasty \"Shang dynasty\") as largely due to their dissolute and alcoholic emperors. An edict ascribed to {{circa\\|lk\\=no\\|1116}} BC makes it clear that the use of alcohol in moderation was believed to be prescribed by heaven.",
"Unlike the traditions in Europe and the Middle East, [China](/wiki/China \"China\") abandoned the production of [grape wine](/wiki/Wine_in_China \"Wine in China\") before the advent of writing and, under the [Han](/wiki/Han_dynasty \"Han dynasty\"), abandoned [beer](/wiki/Beer_in_China \"Beer in China\") in favor of [huangjiu](/wiki/Huangjiu \"Huangjiu\") and other forms of [rice wine](/wiki/Rice_wine \"Rice wine\"). These naturally fermented to a strength of about 20% [ABV](/wiki/Alcohol_by_volume \"Alcohol by volume\"); they were usually consumed warmed and frequently flavored with additives as part of [traditional Chinese medicine](/wiki/Traditional_Chinese_medicine \"Traditional Chinese medicine\"). They considered it spiritual food and extensive documentary evidence attests to the important role it played in [religious life](/wiki/Chinese_folk_religion \"Chinese folk religion\"). \"In ancient times people always drank when holding a memorial ceremony, offering sacrifices to gods or their ancestors, pledging resolution before going into battle, celebrating victory, before feuding and official executions, for taking an oath of allegiance, while attending the ceremonies of birth, marriage, reunions, departures, death, and festival banquets.\"{{citation needed\\|date\\=October 2015}} [Marco Polo](/wiki/Marco_Polo \"Marco Polo\")'s 14th century record indicates grain and rice wine were drunk daily and were one of the treasury's biggest sources of income.",
"Alcoholic beverages were widely used in all segments of Chinese society, were used as a source of inspiration, were important for hospitality, were considered an antidote for fatigue, and were sometimes misused. Laws against making wine were enacted and repealed forty\\-one times between 1100 BC and AD 1400\\. However, a commentator writing around 650 BC asserted that people \"will not do without beer. To prohibit it and secure total [abstinence](/wiki/Abstinence \"Abstinence\") from it is beyond the power even of sages.

Voigt at the site of [Hajji Firuz Tepe](/wiki/Hajji_Firuz_Tepe \"Hajji Firuz Tepe\") in the northern [Zagros Mountains](/wiki/Zagros_Mountains \"Zagros Mountains\") of Iran. The jar that once contained wine, with a volume of about 9 liters (2\\.5 gallons) was found together with five similar jars embedded in the earthen floor along one wall of a \"kitchen\" of a Neolithic mudbrick building, dated to c. 5400–5000 BC.{{cite web \\|url\\=http://www.penn.museum/sites/wine/wineneolithic.html \\|title\\=The Origins and Ancient History of Wine \\|last1\\=McGovern \\|first1\\=Patrick E. \\|website\\=Penn Museum \\|access\\-date\\=19 March 2015}} In such communities, winemaking was the best technology they had for storing highly perishable grapes, although whether the resulting beverage was intended for intoxication as well as nourishment is not known.",
"### Ancient Egypt",
"[Brewing](/wiki/Brewing \"Brewing\") dates from the beginning of civilization in [ancient Egypt](/wiki/Ancient_Egypt \"Ancient Egypt\"), and alcoholic beverages were very important at that time. Egyptian brewing began in the city of [Hierakonpolis](/wiki/Nekhen \"Nekhen\") around 3400 BC; its ruins contain the remains of the world's oldest brewery, which was capable of producing up to three hundred gallons (1,136 liters) per day of beer. Symbolic of this is the fact that while many gods were local or familial, [Osiris](/wiki/Osiris \"Osiris\") was worshiped throughout the entire country. Osiris was believed to be the god of the dead, of life, of vegetable regeneration, and of wine.{{cite journal \\|last1\\=Wissler \\|first1\\=Clark \\|author\\-link1\\=Clark Wissler \\|last2\\=Mok \\|first2\\=Michel \\|date\\= May 1932 \\|editor1\\-last\\=Brown \\|editor1\\-first\\=Raymond J. \\|title\\=Stone Age Had Booze and Prohibition \\|url\\=https://books.google.com/books?id\\=1ScDAAAAMBAJ\\&q\\=Popular\\+Science\\+1931\\+plane\\&pg\\=PA44 \\|journal\\=\\[\\[Popular Science]] \\|volume\\=120 \\|issue\\=5 \\|pages\\=44–46, 121–123 \\|issn\\=0161\\-7370 \\|access\\-date\\=19 March 2015}}",
"Both beer and wine were deified and offered to gods. Cellars and wine presses even had a god whose [hieroglyph](/wiki/Hieroglyph \"Hieroglyph\") was a winepress. The ancient Egyptians made at least 17 types of beer and at least 24 varieties of wine. The most common type of beer was known as hqt. Beer was the drink of common laborers; financial accounts report that the Giza pyramid builders were allotted a daily beer ration of one and one\\-third gallons. Alcoholic beverages were used for pleasure, nutrition, medicine, ritual, remuneration, and funerary purposes. The latter involved storing the beverages in tombs of the deceased for their use in the after\\-life.",
"Numerous accounts of the period stressed the importance of moderation, and these norms were both secular and religious. While Egyptians did not generally appear to define drunkenness as a problem, they warned against [taverns](/wiki/Taverns \"Taverns\") (which were often houses of [prostitution](/wiki/Prostitution \"Prostitution\")) and excessive drinking. After reviewing extensive evidence regarding the widespread but generally moderate use of alcoholic beverages, the nutritional biochemist and historian [William J. Darby](/wiki/William_J._Darby \"William J. Darby\") makes a most important observation: all these accounts are warped by the fact that moderate users \"were overshadowed by their more boisterous counterparts who added 'color' to history.\" Thus, the intemperate use of alcohol throughout history receives a disproportionate amount of attention. Those who [excessively use alcohol](/wiki/Alcohol_use_disorder \"Alcohol use disorder\") cause problems, draw attention to themselves, are highly visible and cause legislation to be enacted. The vast majority of drinkers, who neither experience nor cause difficulties, are not noteworthy. Consequently, observers and writers largely ignore moderation.",

"Beer was the major beverage among the [Babylonians](/wiki/Babylonia \"Babylonia\"), and as early as 2700 BC they worshiped a wine goddess and other wine deities. Babylonians regularly used both beer and wine as offerings to their gods. Around 1750 BC, the famous [Code of Hammurabi](/wiki/Code_of_Hammurabi \"Code of Hammurabi\") devoted attention to alcohol.

"### Ancient Greece",
"While the art of wine making reached the [Hellenic](/wiki/Ancient_Greece \"Ancient Greece\") peninsula by about 2000 BC, the first alcoholic beverage to obtain widespread popularity in what is now Greece was [mead](/wiki/Mead \"Mead\"), a fermented beverage made from honey and water. However, by 1700 BC, wine making was commonplace. During the next thousand years wine drinking assumed the same function so commonly found around the world: It was incorporated into religious rituals. It became important in hospitality, used for medicinal purposes, and became an integral part of daily meals. As a beverage, it was drunk in many ways: warm and chilled, pure and mixed with water, plain and spiced. Alcohol, specifically wine, was considered so important to the Greeks that consumption was considered a defining characteristic of the Hellenic culture between their society and the rest of the world; those who did not drink were considered barbarians.",
"While habitual drunkenness was rare, intoxication at banquets and festivals was not unusual. In fact, the [symposium](/wiki/Symposium \"Symposium\"), a gathering of men for an evening of conversation, entertainment and drinking typically ended in intoxication. However, while there are no references in ancient Greek literature to mass drunkenness among the Greeks, there are references to it among foreign peoples. By 425 BC, warnings against intemperance, especially at symposia, appear to become more frequent.",
"[Xenophon](/wiki/Xenophon \"Xenophon\") (431–351 BC) and [Plato](/wiki/Plato \"Plato\") (429–347 BC) both praised the moderate use of wine as beneficial to health and happiness, but both were critical of drunkenness, which appears to have become a problem. Plato also believed that no one under the age of eighteen should be allowed to touch wine. [Hippocrates](/wiki/Hippocrates \"Hippocrates\") (cir. 460–370 BC) identified numerous medicinal properties of wine, which had long been used for its therapeutic value. Later, both [Aristotle](/wiki/Aristotle \"Aristotle\") (384–322 BC) and [Zeno](/wiki/Zeno_of_Citium \"Zeno of Citium\") (cir. 336–264 BC) were very critical of drunkenness.",
"Among Greeks, the [Macedonians](/wiki/Ancient_Macedonians \"Ancient Macedonians\") viewed intemperance as a sign of masculinity and were well known for their drunkenness. Their king, [Alexander the Great](/wiki/Alexander_the_Great \"Alexander the Great\") (356–323 BC), whose mother adhered to the Dionysian cult, developed a reputation for inebriety.",
"### Ancient Rome",
"Bacchus, the god of wine{{snd}}for the Greeks, [Dionysus](/wiki/Dionysus \"Dionysus\"){{snd}}is the patron deity of agriculture and the theater. He was also known as the Liberator (Eleutherios), freeing one from one's normal self, by madness, ecstasy, or wine. The divine mission of Dionysus was to mingle the music of the aulos and to bring an end to care and worry. The Romans would hold dinner parties where wine was served to the guest all day along with a three course feast. Scholars have discussed Dionysus' relationship to the \"cult of the souls\" and his ability to preside over communication between the living and the dead.",
"The Roman belief that wine was a daily necessity made the drink \"democratic\" and ubiquitous: wine was available to slaves, peasants, women and aristocrats alike. To ensure the steady supply of wine to Roman soldiers and colonists, viticulture and wine production spread to every part of the empire. The Romans diluted their wine before drinking. Wine was also used for religious purposes, in the pouring of libations to deities.",

Their name for beer was *brutos*, or *brytos*. The Romans called their brew *cerevisia*, from the Celtic word for it.

Early modern period
-------------------
{{see also\|Grog}}
During the [early modern period](/wiki/Early_modern_period "Early modern period") (1500–1800\), [Protestant](/wiki/Protestant "Protestant") leaders such as [Martin Luther](/wiki/Martin_Luther "Martin Luther"), [John Calvin](/wiki/John_Calvin "John Calvin"), the leaders of the [Anglican Church](/wiki/Anglican_Church "Anglican Church"), and even the [Puritans](/wiki/Puritans "Puritans") did not differ substantially from the teachings of the [Catholic Church](/wiki/Catholic_Church "Catholic Church"): [alcohol](/wiki/Alcohol_%28drug%29 "Alcohol (drug)") was a gift of God and created to be used in moderation for pleasure, enjoyment and health; [drunkenness](/wiki/Drunkenness "Drunkenness") was viewed as a [sin](/wiki/Sin "Sin") (see [Christian views on alcohol](/wiki/Christian_views_on_alcohol "Christian views on alcohol")).
From this period through at least the beginning of the 18th century, attitudes toward drinking were characterized by a continued recognition of the positive nature of moderate consumption and an increased concern over the negative effects of drunkenness. The latter, which was generally viewed as arising out of the increased self\-indulgence of the time, was seen as a threat to [spiritual](/wiki/Spirituality "Spirituality") [salvation](/wiki/Salvation "Salvation") and societal well\-being. English philosopher [Thomas Hobbes](/wiki/Thomas_Hobbes "Thomas Hobbes") bemoaned in his *[Leviathan](/wiki/Leviathan_%28Hobbes_book%29 "Leviathan (Hobbes book)")* how "the variety of behaviour in men that have drunk too much is the same with that of madmen",{{Cite book \|last\=Hobbes \|first\=Thomas \|title\=Leviathan \|publisher\=Clarendon Press \|year\=1651 \|location\=Oxford \|publication\-date\=1965 \|pages\=59}} reflecting growing ethical concerns toward alcohol. [Intoxication](/wiki/Alcohol_intoxication "Alcohol intoxication") was also inconsistent with the emerging emphasis on rational mastery of self and world and on work and efficiency.
In spite of the ideal of moderation, consumption of alcohol was often high. In the 16th century, alcohol beverage consumption reached 100 liters per person per year in Valladolid, [Spain](/wiki/Spain "Spain"), and [Polish](/wiki/Poland "Poland") [peasants](/wiki/Peasants "Peasants") consumed up to three [liters](/wiki/Liters "Liters") of [beer](/wiki/Beer "Beer") per day. In Coventry, [England](/wiki/England "England"), the average amount of beer and [ale](/wiki/Ale "Ale") consumed was about 17 pints per person per week, compared to about three pints today; nationwide, consumption was about one pint per day per capita. Swedish beer consumption may have been 40 times higher than in modern [Sweden](/wiki/Sweden "Sweden"). English sailors received a ration of a [gallon](/wiki/Gallon "Gallon") of beer per day, while soldiers received two\-thirds of a gallon. In [Denmark](/wiki/Denmark "Denmark"), the usual consumption of beer appears to have been a gallon per day for adult laborers and sailors. It is important to note that modern beer is much stronger than the beers of the past. While current beers are 3–5% alcohol, the beer drunk in the historical past was generally 1% or so.{{Citation needed\|date\=September 2012}} This was known as '[small beer](/wiki/Small_beer "Small beer")'.
However, the production and distribution of [spirits](/wiki/Distilled_beverage "Distilled beverage") spread slowly. Spirit drinking was still largely for [medicinal](/wiki/Medicinal "Medicinal") purposes throughout most of the 16th century. It has been said of distilled alcohol that "the sixteenth century created it; the seventeenth century consolidated it; the eighteenth popularized it."
A beverage that clearly made its debut during the 17th century was sparkling [champagne](/wiki/Champagne_%28wine%29 "Champagne (wine)"). The credit for that development goes primarily and erroneously to [Dom Perignon](/wiki/Dom_P%C3%A9rignon_%28monk%29 "Dom Pérignon (monk)"), the wine\-master in a [French](/wiki/France "France") [abbey](/wiki/Abbey "Abbey"). Although the oldest recorded sparkling wine is [Blanquette de Limoux](/wiki/Blanquette_de_Limoux "Blanquette de Limoux"), in 1531,"Tom Stevenson (2005\) Sotheby’s Wine Encyclopaedia Dorling Kindersley {{ISBN\|0\-7513\-3740\-4}}, p237" the English scientist and physician [Christopher Merret](/wiki/Christopher_Merret "Christopher Merret") documented the addition of sugar to a finished wine to create a second fermentation six years before Dom Perignon joined the [Abbey of Hautvillers](/wiki/Abbey "Abbey") and almost 40 years before it was claimed that he invented Champagne. Around 1668, Perignon used strong bottles, invented a more efficient cork (and one that could contain the effervescence in those strong bottles), and began developing the technique of blending the contents. However, another century would pass before problems, especially bursting bottles, would be solved and champagne would become popular.
The original [grain](/wiki/Grain "Grain") spirit, [whisky](/wiki/Whisky "Whisky") (or *whiskey* in [Hiberno\-English](/wiki/Hiberno-English "Hiberno-English")) and its specific origins are unknown but the distillation of whisky has been performed in Ireland and Scotland for centuries. The first confirmed written record of whisky comes from 1405 in Ireland, the production of whisky from malted barley is first mentioned in Scotland in an entry from 1494, although both countries could have distilled grain alcohol before this date.
Distilled spirit was generally flavored with [juniper](/wiki/Juniper "Juniper") berries. The resulting beverage was known as jenever, the [Dutch](/wiki/Dutch_language "Dutch language") word for "juniper." The French changed the name to genievre, which the English changed to "geneva" and then modified to "gin." Originally used for medicinal purposes, the use of [gin](/wiki/Gin "Gin") as a social drink did not grow rapidly at first. However, in 1690, England passed "An Act for the Encouraging of the Distillation of Brandy and Spirits from Corn" and within four years the annual production of distilled spirits, most of which was gin, reached nearly one million gallons. "Corn" in the British English of the time meant "grain" in general, while in American English "corn" refers principally to [maize](/wiki/Maize "Maize").
The dawn of the 18th century saw the [British Parliament](/wiki/British_Parliament "British Parliament") pass legislation designed to encourage the use of grain for distilling spirits. In 1685, consumption of gin had been slightly over one\-half million gallons but by 1714 it stood at two million gallons. In 1727, official (declared and taxed) production reached five million gallons; six years later the London area alone produced eleven million gallons of gin.
The English government actively promoted gin production to utilize surplus grain and to raise revenue. Encouraged by public policy, very cheap spirits flooded the market at a time when there was little stigma attached to drunkenness and when the growing urban poor in [London](/wiki/London "London") sought relief from the newfound insecurities and harsh realities of urban life. Thus developed the so\-called [Gin Epidemic](/wiki/Gin_Craze "Gin Craze").
While the negative effects of that phenomenon may have been exaggerated, Parliament passed legislation in 1736 to discourage consumption by prohibiting the sale of gin in quantities of less than two gallons and raising the tax on it dramatically. However, the peak in consumption was reached seven years later, when the nation of six and one\-half million people drank over 18 million gallons of gin. And most was consumed by the small minority of the population then living in London and other cities; people in the countryside largely consumed beer, ale and [cider](/wiki/Cider "Cider").
After its peak, gin consumption rapidly declined. From eighteen million gallons in 1743, it dropped to just over seven million gallons in 1751 and to less than two million by 1758, and generally declined to the end of the century. A number of factors appear to have converged to discourage consumption of gin. These include the production of higher quality beer of lower price, rising corn prices and taxes which eroded the price advantage of gin, a temporary ban on distilling, an increasing criticism of drunkenness, a newer standard of behavior that criticized coarseness and excess, increased [tea](/wiki/Tea "Tea") and [coffee](/wiki/Coffee "Coffee") consumption, an increase in [piety](/wiki/Piety "Piety") and increasing [industrialization](/wiki/Industrialization "Industrialization") with a consequent emphasis on [sobriety](/wiki/Sobriety "Sobriety") and labor efficiency.
While drunkenness was still an accepted part of life in the 18th century, the 19th century would bring a change in attitudes as a result of increasing industrialization and the need for a reliable and punctual work force. Self\-discipline was needed in place of self\-expression, and task orientation had to replace relaxed conviviality. Drunkenness would come to be defined as a threat to industrial efficiency and growth.

[Alcoholic beverages](/wiki/Alcoholic_beverages "Alcoholic beverages") played an important role in the [Thirteen Colonies](/wiki/Thirteen_Colonies "Thirteen Colonies") from their early days. For example, the *[Mayflower](/wiki/Mayflower "Mayflower")* shipped more [beer](/wiki/Beer "Beer") than [water](/wiki/Water "Water") when it departed for the [New World](/wiki/New_World "New World") in 1620\.

For hundreds of years the [English](/wiki/England "England") ancestors of the colonists had consumed beer and [ale](/wiki/Ale "Ale"). Both in England and in the New World, people of both sexes and all ages typically drank beer with their meals. Because importing a continuing supply of beer was expensive, the early settlers brewed their own. However, it was difficult to make the beer they were accustomed to because wild [yeasts](/wiki/Yeasts "Yeasts") caused problems in [fermentation](/wiki/Fermentation_%28food%29 "Fermentation (food)") and resulted in a bitter, unappetizing brew. Although wild [hops](/wiki/Hops "Hops") grew in [New England](/wiki/New_England "New England"), hop seeds were ordered from England in order to cultivate an adequate supply for traditional beer. In the meantime, the colonists improvised a beer made from red and black [spruce](/wiki/Spruce "Spruce") twigs boiled in water, as well as a [ginger beer](/wiki/Ginger_beer "Ginger beer").

Beer was designated{{by whom\|date\=January 2017}} X, XX, or XXX according to its [alcohol content](/wiki/Alcohol_content "Alcohol content"). The colonists also learned to make a wide variety of [wine](/wiki/Wine "Wine") from fruits. They additionally made wine from such products as flowers, herbs, and even oak leaves. Early on, [French](/wiki/France "France") vine\-growers were brought{{by whom\|date\=January 2017}} to the New World to teach settlers how to cultivate grapes.

Colonists adhered to the traditional belief that [distilled](/wiki/Distilled "Distilled") spirits were *[aqua vitae](/wiki/Aqua_vitae "Aqua vitae")*, or water of life. However, [rum](/wiki/Rum "Rum") was not commonly available until after 1650, when it was imported from the [Caribbean](/wiki/Caribbean "Caribbean"). The cost of rum dropped after the colonists began importing [molasses](/wiki/Molasses "Molasses") and cane sugar directly and distilled their own rum. By 1657, a rum distillery was operating in [Boston](/wiki/Boston%2C_MA "Boston, MA"). It was highly successful and within a generation the production of rum became colonial New England's largest and most prosperous industry.
Almost every important town from [Massachusetts](/wiki/Massachusetts "Massachusetts") to the Carolinas had a rum distillery to meet the local demand, which had increased dramatically. Rum was often enjoyed in mixed drinks, including [flip](/wiki/Flip_%28cocktail%29 "Flip (cocktail)"). This was a popular winter beverage made of rum and beer sweetened with sugar and warmed by plunging a red\-hot fireplace poker into the serving mug.
Alcohol was viewed positively while its excessive use was condemned. [Increase Mather](/wiki/Increase_Mather "Increase Mather") (d. 1723\) expressed the common view in a sermon against [drunkenness](/wiki/Drunkenness "Drunkenness"): "Drink is in itself a good creature of God, and to be received with thankfulness, but the abuse of drink is from Satan; the wine is from God, but the drunkard is from the Devil."
### The United States of America
In colonial period of America from around 1623, when a Plymouth minister named [William Blackstone](/wiki/William_Blaxton "William Blaxton") began distributing apples and flowers, up until the mid\-1800s, hard cider was the primary alcoholic drink of the people. Hard cider was prominent throughout this entire period and nothing compared in scope or availability. It was one of the few aspects of American culture that all the colonies shared. Settlement along the frontier often included a legal requirement whereby an orchard of mature apple trees bearing fruit within three years of settlement were required before a land title was officially granted. For example, [The Ohio Company](/wiki/Ohio_Company "Ohio Company") required settlers to plant not less than fifty apple trees and twenty peach trees within three years. These plantings would guarantee land titles. In 1767, the average New England family was consuming seven barrels of hard cider annually, which equates to about 35\-gallons per person. Around the mid\-1800s, newly arrived immigrants from Germany and elsewhere increased beer's popularity, and the [temperance movement](/wiki/Temperance_movement "Temperance movement") and continued westward expansion caused farmers to abandon their cider orchards.{{cite book\|title\=American Canopy: Trees, Forests, and the Making of a Nation\|first\=Eric\|last\=Rutkow\|publisher\=Scribner\|date\=2012\|location\=New York\|pages\=56–58, 61\|isbn\=978\-1\-4391\-9354\-9}}
In the early 19th century, Americans had inherited a hearty [drinking tradition](/wiki/Drinking_culture "Drinking culture"). Drinking hard liquor was a universally popular occurrence in early nineteenth\-century America.{{cite book

\|year\=1954}} Many types of alcohol were consumed. One reason for this heavy [drinking](/wiki/Drinking%23Alcoholic_beverages "Drinking#Alcoholic beverages") was attributed{{by whom\|date\=January 2017}} to an overabundance of [corn](/wiki/Maize "Maize") on the western [frontier](/wiki/American_frontier "American frontier"), which encouraged the widespread production of cheap whiskey. It was at this time that alcohol became an important part of the American diet.{{citation needed\|date\=January 2017}} In the 1820s, Americans drank seven gallons of alcohol per person annually.{{Cite news\|url\= https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp\-dyn/content/article/2009/10/28/AR2009102803801\.html \|title\= A reality check on drug use \|author\= George F.

In colonial America, water contamination was common. Two means to ensure that waterborne illness, for example [typhoid](/wiki/Typhoid "Typhoid") and [cholera](/wiki/Cholera "Cholera"), was not conveyed by water was to boil it in the process of making tea or coffee, or to use it to make alcohol. As a result, alcohol consumption was much higher in the nineteenth century than it is today \-\- {{convert\|7\.1\| gal\|L}} of pure alcohol per person per year.{{cite news\|last1\=Green\|first1\=Emma\|title\=Colonial Americans Drank Roughly Three Times as Much as Americans Do Now\|url\=https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/06/benjamin\-rush\-booze\-morality\-democracy/396818/\|access\-date\=6 August 2017\|publisher\=The Atlantic\|date\=29 June 2015}} Before the construction of the [Erie Canal](/wiki/Erie_Canal "Erie Canal"), transportation of grain from the west was cost prohibitive; farmers instead converted their grain to alcohol for shipping eastward. This dependence on alcohol as a revenue source led to the [Whiskey Rebellion](/wiki/Whiskey_Rebellion "Whiskey Rebellion") of 1794\. Later in the nineteenth century opposition to alcohol grew in the form of the [temperance movement](/wiki/Temperance_movement_in_the_United_States "Temperance movement in the United States"), culminating in [Prohibition in the United States](/wiki/Prohibition_in_the_United_States "Prohibition in the United States") from 1920 to 1933\.

"During the [early modern period](/wiki/Early_modern_period \"Early modern period\") (1500–1800\\), [Protestant](/wiki/Protestant \"Protestant\") leaders such as [Martin Luther](/wiki/Martin_Luther \"Martin Luther\"), [John Calvin](/wiki/John_Calvin \"John Calvin\"), the leaders of the [Anglican Church](/wiki/Anglican_Church \"Anglican Church\"), and even the [Puritans](/wiki/Puritans \"Puritans\") did not differ substantially from the teachings of the [Catholic Church](/wiki/Catholic_Church \"Catholic Church\"): [alcohol](/wiki/Alcohol_%28drug%29 \"Alcohol (drug)\") was a gift of God and created to be used in moderation for pleasure, enjoyment and health; [drunkenness](/wiki/Drunkenness \"Drunkenness\") was viewed as a [sin](/wiki/Sin \"Sin\") (see [Christian views on alcohol](/wiki/Christian_views_on_alcohol \"Christian views on alcohol\")).",
"From this period through at least the beginning of the 18th century, attitudes toward drinking were characterized by a continued recognition of the positive nature of moderate consumption and an increased concern over the negative effects of drunkenness. The latter, which was generally viewed as arising out of the increased self\\-indulgence of the time, was seen as a threat to [spiritual](/wiki/Spirituality \"Spirituality\") [salvation](/wiki/Salvation \"Salvation\") and societal well\\-being. English philosopher [Thomas Hobbes](/wiki/Thomas_Hobbes \"Thomas Hobbes\") bemoaned in his *[Leviathan](/wiki/Leviathan_%28Hobbes_book%29 \"Leviathan (Hobbes book)\")* how \"the variety of behaviour in men that have drunk too much is the same with that of madmen\",{{Cite book \\|last\\=Hobbes \\|first\\=Thomas \\|title\\=Leviathan \\|publisher\\=Clarendon Press \\|year\\=1651 \\|location\\=Oxford \\|publication\\-date\\=1965 \\|pages\\=59}} reflecting growing ethical concerns toward alcohol. [Intoxication](/wiki/Alcohol_intoxication \"Alcohol intoxication\") was also inconsistent with the emerging emphasis on rational mastery of self and world and on work and efficiency.",
"In spite of the ideal of moderation, consumption of alcohol was often high. In the 16th century, alcohol beverage consumption reached 100 liters per person per year in Valladolid, [Spain](/wiki/Spain \"Spain\"), and [Polish](/wiki/Poland \"Poland\") [peasants](/wiki/Peasants \"Peasants\") consumed up to three [liters](/wiki/Liters \"Liters\") of [beer](/wiki/Beer \"Beer\") per day. In Coventry, [England](/wiki/England \"England\"), the average amount of beer and [ale](/wiki/Ale \"Ale\") consumed was about 17 pints per person per week, compared to about three pints today; nationwide, consumption was about one pint per day per capita. Swedish beer consumption may have been 40 times higher than in modern [Sweden](/wiki/Sweden \"Sweden\"). English sailors received a ration of a [gallon](/wiki/Gallon \"Gallon\") of beer per day, while soldiers received two\\-thirds of a gallon. In [Denmark](/wiki/Denmark \"Denmark\"), the usual consumption of beer appears to have been a gallon per day for adult laborers and sailors. It is important to note that modern beer is much stronger than the beers of the past. While current beers are 3–5% alcohol, the beer drunk in the historical past was generally 1% or so.{{Citation needed\\|date\\=September 2012}} This was known as '[small beer](/wiki/Small_beer \"Small beer\")'.",
"However, the production and distribution of [spirits](/wiki/Distilled_beverage \"Distilled beverage\") spread slowly. Spirit drinking was still largely for [medicinal](/wiki/Medicinal \"Medicinal\") purposes throughout most of the 16th century. It has been said of distilled alcohol that \"the sixteenth century created it; the seventeenth century consolidated it; the eighteenth popularized it.\"",
"A beverage that clearly made its debut during the 17th century was sparkling [champagne](/wiki/Champagne_%28wine%29 \"Champagne (wine)\"). The credit for that development goes primarily and erroneously to [Dom Perignon](/wiki/Dom_P%C3%A9rignon_%28monk%29 \"Dom Pérignon (monk)\"), the wine\\-master in a [French](/wiki/France \"France\") [abbey](/wiki/Abbey \"Abbey\"). Although the oldest recorded sparkling wine is [Blanquette de Limoux](/wiki/Blanquette_de_Limoux \"Blanquette de Limoux\"), in 1531,\"Tom Stevenson (2005\\) Sotheby’s Wine Encyclopaedia Dorling Kindersley {{ISBN\\|0\\-7513\\-3740\\-4}}, p237\" the English scientist and physician [Christopher Merret](/wiki/Christopher_Merret \"Christopher Merret\") documented the addition of sugar to a finished wine to create a second fermentation six years before Dom Perignon joined the [Abbey of Hautvillers](/wiki/Abbey \"Abbey\") and almost 40 years before it was claimed that he invented Champagne. Around 1668, Perignon used strong bottles, invented a more efficient cork (and one that could contain the effervescence in those strong bottles), and began developing the technique of blending the contents. However, another century would pass before problems, especially bursting bottles, would be solved and champagne would become popular.",
"The original [grain](/wiki/Grain \"Grain\") spirit, [whisky](/wiki/Whisky \"Whisky\") (or *whiskey* in [Hiberno\\-English](/wiki/Hiberno-English \"Hiberno-English\")) and its specific origins are unknown but the distillation of whisky has been performed in Ireland and Scotland for centuries. The first confirmed written record of whisky comes from 1405 in Ireland, the production of whisky from malted barley is first mentioned in Scotland in an entry from 1494, although both countries could have distilled grain alcohol before this date.",
"Distilled spirit was generally flavored with [juniper](/wiki/Juniper \"Juniper\") berries. The resulting beverage was known as jenever, the [Dutch](/wiki/Dutch_language \"Dutch language\") word for \"juniper.\" The French changed the name to genievre, which the English changed to \"geneva\" and then modified to \"gin.\" Originally used for medicinal purposes, the use of [gin](/wiki/Gin \"Gin\") as a social drink did not grow rapidly at first. However, in 1690, England passed \"An Act for the Encouraging of the Distillation of Brandy and Spirits from Corn\" and within four years the annual production of distilled spirits, most of which was gin, reached nearly one million gallons. \"Corn\" in the British English of the time meant \"grain\" in general, while in American English \"corn\" refers principally to [maize](/wiki/Maize \"Maize\").",
"The dawn of the 18th century saw the [British Parliament](/wiki/British_Parliament \"British Parliament\") pass legislation designed to encourage the use of grain for distilling spirits. In 1685, consumption of gin had been slightly over one\\-half million gallons but by 1714 it stood at two million gallons. In 1727, official (declared and taxed) production reached five million gallons; six years later the London area alone produced eleven million gallons of gin.\nThe English government actively promoted gin production to utilize surplus grain and to raise revenue. Encouraged by public policy, very cheap spirits flooded the market at a time when there was little stigma attached to drunkenness and when the growing urban poor in [London](/wiki/London \"London\") sought relief from the newfound insecurities and harsh realities of urban life.

These plantings would guarantee land titles. In 1767, the average New England family was consuming seven barrels of hard cider annually, which equates to about 35\\-gallons per person. Around the mid\\-1800s, newly arrived immigrants from Germany and elsewhere increased beer's popularity, and the [temperance movement](/wiki/Temperance_movement \"Temperance movement\") and continued westward expansion caused farmers to abandon their cider orchards.{{cite book\\|title\\=American Canopy: Trees, Forests, and the Making of a Nation\\|first\\=Eric\\|last\\=Rutkow\\|publisher\\=Scribner\\|date\\=2012\\|location\\=New York\\|pages\\=56–58, 61\\|isbn\\=978\\-1\\-4391\\-9354\\-9}}",

### 2000–2002: Formation, *Busted* and rise to fame
[James Bourne](/wiki/James_Bourne "James Bourne") and [Matt Willis](/wiki/Matt_Willis "Matt Willis") originally auditioned for other bands which neither of them made it into. They remained friends for a number of years and wrote material together, which Willis claimed was inspired by [BBMak](/wiki/BBMak "BBMak"), [Blink\-182](/wiki/Blink-182 "Blink-182") and the *[American Pie 2](/wiki/American_Pie_2%23Soundtrack "American Pie 2#Soundtrack")* soundtrack.{{cite web\|url\=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v\=Yertx7J0cVc\|archive\-url\=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/Yertx7J0cVc\|archive\-date\=21 December 2021\|url\-status\=live\|title\=The Vault Meets Matt Willis\|author\=\[\[Trace Vault\|The Vault]]\|date\=26 June 2012\|publisher\=YouTube\|access\-date\=6 April 2016}}{{cbignore}} Initially known as **The Termites**, Busted were formed in 2000{{cite news \|last\=Michaels \|first\=Sean \|date\=27 February 2008 \|title\=Busted's chart hits land them in court \|language\=en\-GB \|work\=The Guardian \|url\=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2008/feb/27/popandrock.news3 \|access\-date\=3 April 2023 \|issn\=0261\-3077}}{{cite news\|last\=Robinson\|first\=Peter\|url\=https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2014/dec/18/mcbusted\-busted\-mcfly\-success\-2014\|title\=McBusted: Busted \+ McFly \= one of 2014's most unlikely pop stories\|date\=18 December 2014\|work\=The Guardian\|access\-date\=2020\-04\-02\|language\=en\-GB\|issn\=0261\-3077}} after open auditions were held by Prestige Artist Management to form a new band.

[Charlie Simpson](/wiki/Charlie_Simpson "Charlie Simpson") and [Tom Fletcher](/wiki/Tom_Fletcher "Tom Fletcher") were both offered a place to complete the line\-up, but Busted's manager told Fletcher via a phone call a few days later that the band was to go ahead as a trio, comprising Bourne, Willis and Simpson.{{cite web\|url\=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v\=FFX5zCPk2CM\&t\=2m25s\|archive\-url\=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/FFX5zCPk2CM\|archive\-date\=21 December 2021\|url\-status\=live\|title\="McBusted On The Jonathan Ross Show Series 6 Ep 8\.22 Feb 2014 Part 4/4\|date\=22 February 2014\|publisher\=YouTube\|access\-date\=7 April 2016}}{{cbignore}}{{Cite news \|last\=Gibsone \|first\=Harriet \|date\=2022\-10\-29 \|title\=McFly's Tom Fletcher looks back: 'People threw things at us in the street.

The band was launched in August 2002, making their first appearance on the cover of *[Smash Hits](/wiki/Smash_Hits "Smash Hits")* with the headline: "Meet Busted: They're Going to Be Bigger than [Rik Waller](/wiki/Rik_Waller "Rik Waller")!", making it a first for any pop band to appear on the magazine's cover before releasing a single.{{cite news\|url\=http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/whats\-on/music\-nightlife\-news/mcbusted\-liverpool\-echo\-arena\-mcfly\-6948544\|title\=McBusted at Liverpool ECHO arena: McFly and Busted had no idea how big they would become\|last\=Wright\|first\=Jade\|date\=14 April 2014\|work\=\[\[Liverpool Echo]]\|publisher\=\[\[Trinity Mirror]]\|access\-date\=10 December 2015}} Their debut single, "[What I Go to School For](/wiki/What_I_Go_to_School_For "What I Go to School For")", inspired by a teacher that Willis had a crush on at school, was finally released in September 2002\. It reached number three on the [UK Singles Chart](/wiki/UK_Singles_Chart "UK Singles Chart"). Their debut album *[Busted](/wiki/Busted_%282002_Busted_album%29 "Busted (2002 Busted album)")* was then released, initially charting only around the UK Top 30 and receiving mixed reviews from critics however, it went on to peak at number 2\. The follow\-up "[Year 3000](/wiki/Year_3000 "Year 3000")", which was written about Bourne's obsession with the film *[Back to the Future](/wiki/Back_to_the_Future "Back to the Future")*, then followed in January 2003, reaching number two in the UK chart. In April, their third single, "[You Said No](/wiki/You_Said_No "You Said No")" became their first number one. *[British Hit Singles \& Albums](/wiki/British_Hit_Singles_%26_Albums "British Hit Singles & Albums")* certified them as the first act ever to have their debut three singles enter the top three in an ascending order.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/news/a531065/10\-things\-about\-mcbusted.html\|title\=10 Things About...

Recording began for their second album while the debut album was re\-released with new tracks and an enhanced CD section. It would go on to sell 1\.2 million copies by the end of the year. The debut album's final single, "[Sleeping with the Light On](/wiki/Sleeping_with_the_Light_On "Sleeping with the Light On")", reached number 3 in August 2003, beaten to number one by [Blu Cantrell](/wiki/Blu_Cantrell "Blu Cantrell")'s "[Breathe](/wiki/Breathe_%28Blu_Cantrell_song%29 "Breathe (Blu Cantrell song)")".{{cite news\|url\=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/69544/cantrell\-cassidy\-maintain\-uk\-chart\-control\|title\=Cantrell, Cassidy Maintain U.K. Chart Control\|date\=18 August 2003\|magazine\=\[\[Billboard (magazine)\|Billboard]]\|publisher\=\[\[Prometheus Global Media]]\|access\-date\=18 March 2016}}
### 2003–2005: *A Present for Everyone* and split
Busted started the summer of 2003 with a win for Favourite Newcomer at the National Music Awards, as well as Best Band at that year's [Disney Channel](/wiki/Disney_Channel "Disney Channel") Kids' Awards. After this, the band launched the promotional trail for their new album, *[A Present for Everyone](/wiki/A_Present_for_Everyone "A Present for Everyone")* and its lead single "[Crashed the Wedding](/wiki/Crashed_the_Wedding "Crashed the Wedding")", which reached number one in the UK chart. Edgier than their previous album, Simpson said that it had some "harder, [Good Charlotte](/wiki/Good_Charlotte "Good Charlotte") type vibes coming through on this album". This album would also go on to reach sales of over 1 million copies.
During 2003, Charlie met fellow songwriter\-guitarist Alex Westaway and drummer Omar Abidi at a party. He was by this stage becoming increasingly frustrated by the music he was performing in Busted and stated he had "all of this creativity pent up inside and I just needed to vent it somewhere, and I was writing a lot of songs but I couldn't play them, because I didn't have anyone to play them with". During the aforementioned party, an impromptu jam session took place. Simpson, Westaway, and Abidi played [Rage Against the Machine](/wiki/Rage_Against_the_Machine "Rage Against the Machine")'s song "[Killing in the Name](/wiki/Killing_in_the_Name "Killing in the Name")" on loop, and agreed to attend a gig a few days later. After the show, they went back to Simpson's flat and began performing on guitars and a v\-drum kit, which led to their first song being written, titled "Too Much Punch". Westaway later invited bassist Dan Haigh to practice with the band and soon began booking regular rehearsal sessions together, under the name [Fightstar](/wiki/Fightstar "Fightstar").
2004 was to prove their final year together as a band. The band performed a successful arena tour to start the year before reaching number one and number two with "[Who's David](/wiki/Who%27s_David "Who's David")" and "[Air Hostess](/wiki/Air_Hostess_%28song%29 "Air Hostess (song)")", respectively. They picked up Best British Breakthrough Act and Best Pop Act at that year's [BRIT Awards](/wiki/BRIT_Awards "BRIT Awards").{{cite news\|url\=http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/music/newsid\_3497000/3497191\.stm \|title\=Two awards for Busted at the Brits \|work\=BBC News \|access\-date\=21 August 2011}}
The boys then headed over to the U.S. to release a [self\-titled album](/wiki/Busted_%282004_album%29 "Busted (2004 album)") that was a mixture of their first and second album. Their exploits were captured for the TV series *America or Busted*, about Busted's attempts to achieve success in the United States, which ultimately failed. The show debuted on [MTV UK](/wiki/MTV_%28UK_and_Ireland%29 "MTV (UK and Ireland)") in November of that year, over the course of the series, it saw Busted's attempts to 'break' America dwindle as interviews fell through and performances remained limited both in terms of audience size and press attention.{{Cite web\|url\=https://thehoneypop.com/2023/03/30/exclusive\-interview\-busted\-on\-their\-20\-year\-anniversary\-and\-hitting\-the\-road\-again/\|title\=Exclusive Interview: Busted On Their 20\-Year Anniversary And Hitting The Road Again\|first\=Emily\|last\=Miller\|date\=30 March 2023\|website\=The Honey POP}}
Whilst the band were out in America, they were then invited to record the theme tune to the brand new *[Thunderbirds](/wiki/Thunderbirds_%282004_film%29 "Thunderbirds (2004 film)")* film that was coming out that summer. Released as a double A\-side with the album track, "[3AM](/wiki/Thunderbirds_/_3AM "Thunderbirds / 3AM")", it gave them their fourth and final number one in August 2004, {{Cite news\|url\=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3526424\.stm\|title\=Busted rocket Thunderbirds to top\|date\=1 August 2004\|via\=news.bbc.co.uk}} staying at the top for two weeks, the longest they had ever spent at the top. However, the release of the fifth single from their second album, "[She Wants to Be Me](/wiki/She_Wants_to_Be_Me "She Wants to Be Me")" failed to chart due to its lone formats being a download and a limited edition pocket sized CD, both of which breached chart regulations at the time. Their live album, *[A Ticket for Everyone](/wiki/A_Ticket_for_Everyone:Busted_Live "Busted Live")*, was released in November peaked at number eleven. The band embarked on another sell\-out tour that November, and Busted gained a record of the band to play the most consecutive sellout dates at Wembley Arena, eleven nights. At the end of 2004, Busted were involved in the UK number\-one Christmas single,{{cite news\|url\=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4070073\.stm\|title\=Band Aid 20 single storms to No 1\|work\=BBC News\|access\-date\=29 July 2009 \| date\=5 December 2004}} [Band Aid 20](/wiki/Band_Aid_20 "Band Aid 20")'s "[Do They Know It's Christmas?](/wiki/Do_They_Know_It%27s_Christmas%3F "Do They Know It's Christmas?")"{{cite news\|url\=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/3986693\.stm\|title\=McCartney confirms Band Aid role\|work\=BBC News\|access\-date\=29 July 2009 \| date\=5 November 2004}} with money raised helping to combat HIV and AIDS across Africa, [famine](/wiki/Famine "Famine") relief in the [Darfur](/wiki/Darfur "Darfur") region of Sudan and [aid](/wiki/Aid "Aid") relief in many countries, such as Ethiopia.
Simpson's time spent with [Fightstar](/wiki/Fightstar "Fightstar") reportedly began to cause tensions within the band,{{cite news\|url\=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4174341\.stm\|title\=Boy band Busted decide to split\|work\=BBC News\|access\-date\=29 July 2009 \| date\=14 January 2005}} amplified when Fightstar announced a 14\-date UK tour.{{cite web\|url\=http://drownedinsound.com/news/11030\-fightstar\-tour\-busted\-don\-t\|title\=Fightstar tour; Busted don't\|publisher\=Drowned in Sound\|access\-date\=29 July 2009\|archive\-date\=3 March 2016\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303184024/http://drownedinsound.com/news/11030\-fightstar\-tour\-busted\-don\-t\|url\-status\=dead}} Simpson announced to Busted's manager on 24 December 2004 over a phone call that he was leaving the band to focus on Fightstar full\-time.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mndwebpages/simpson.%20\.i.d%20quit%20busted%20in%20an%20instant.\|title\=BUSTED – SIMPSON: 'I'D QUIT BUSTED IN AN INSTANT'\|publisher\=Contact Music\|access\-date\=29 July 2009\|archive\-date\=26 October 2012\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20121026100231/http://www.contactmusic.com/news\-article/simpson.\-.i.d\-quit\-busted\-in\-an\-instant.\|url\-status\=dead}} On 13 January 2005, Busted's record label announced that a press conference was to be held at the Soho Hotel in London the following day.{{cite web\|url\=http://popdirt.com/busted\-press\-conference\-on\-friday/35833/\|title\=Busted Press Conference on Friday\|publisher\=PopDirt\|access\-date\=29 July 2009\|url\-status\=dead\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303182607/http://popdirt.com/busted\-press\-conference\-on\-friday/35833/\|archive\-date\=3 March 2016}} The next day, the 14th, it was then announced that Busted were splitting up after Simpson's departure weeks before.
In an interview with *[Kerrang!](/wiki/Kerrang%21 "Kerrang!")* in November 2009, Simpson said, "It was a real fun thing to be doing, and I got on well with everyone I was doing it with, but on the other side, the music wasn't really fulfilling me. I have good memories of the time because we were traveling the world and doing some amazing things, but then as far as self\-fulfillment goes, it wasn't really doing a lot for me, so I have these mixed views when I look back.

### 2006–2012: Solo projects and bands
Simpson began pursuing a solo career after playing in [Fightstar](/wiki/Fightstar "Fightstar"), a [post\-hardcore](/wiki/Post-hardcore "Post-hardcore") band which differs greatly from the sound of Busted.{{cite web\|url\={{AllMusic\|class\=artist\|id\=p756622/biography\|pure\_url\=yes}}\|title\=Fightstar Biography\|publisher\=\[\[AllMusic]]\|access\-date\=29 January 2009}} They formed a year prior to Busted's split.

They have also released an album of b\-sides and rarities, "*[Alternate Endings](/wiki/Alternate_Endings "Alternate Endings")*".{{cite web\|url\=https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00197X1MW\|title\=Alternate Endings \~ Fightstar\|publisher\=Amazon\|access\-date\=18 July 2009}} Fightstar announced a hiatus at the beginning of 2010, stating that they were "taking some time off" to work on separate projects before regrouping to begin working a new record. After their 2014 reunion and 2015 album, Fightstar began to describe themselves as a "passion project" rather than a full\-time band, as the members focus on other projects. Simpson released a solo acoustic album called *[Young Pilgrim](/wiki/Young_Pilgrim "Young Pilgrim")*, which peaked at number 6 in the [UK Albums Chart](/wiki/UK_Albums_Chart "UK Albums Chart") in 2011, followed by the 2014 album *[Long Road Home](/wiki/Long_Road_Home_%28Charlie_Simpson_album%29 "Long Road Home (Charlie Simpson album)")*.

### 2013–2015: McBusted
{{main\|McBusted}}
From 19 to 22 September 2013, Willis and Bourne made a surprise brief reunion as McBusted when they joined [McFly](/wiki/McFly "McFly") as special guests during the band's four 10th anniversary concerts at the [Royal Albert Hall](/wiki/Royal_Albert_Hall "Royal Albert Hall"). They performed "Year 3000", "Air Hostess" and McFly's "[Shine a Light](/wiki/Shine_a_Light_%28McFly_song%29 "Shine a Light (McFly song)")" with McFly under the name '[McBusted](/wiki/McBusted "McBusted")'.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a517071/busted\-join\-mcfly\-on\-stage\-at\-royal\-albert\-hall\-show\-video.html\|title\=Busted join McFly on stage at Royal Albert Hall show\|date\=20 September 2013\|publisher\=\[\[Digital Spy]]\|last\=Corner\|first\=Lewis\|access\-date\=20 September 2013}} McFly and Busted confirmed a 2014 tour together. Simpson said through Twitter that although he would not be joining the new supergroup, he wished them the best of luck in the future.{{cite tweet\|user\=charliesimo\|number\=399881580430102528\|title\=Just wanted to say that though I am not joining @mattjwillis and @JamesBourne on their new venture, I wish them all the very best with it!\|last\=Simpson\|first\=Charlie\|date\=11 November 2013\|access\-date\=12 November 2013}} McBusted released their debut album *[McBusted](/wiki/McBusted_%28album%29 "McBusted (album)")* on 1 December 2014\.

Willis also revealed that Busted had been approached to star in the [ITV2](/wiki/ITV2 "ITV2") series *[The Big Reunion](/wiki/The_Big_Reunion "The Big Reunion")*, but turned it down because "it didn't feel right for our band."{{cite news\|url\=http://www.digitalspy.com/music/a530350/busted\-were\-approached\-for\-big\-reunion\-reveals\-matt\-willis/\|title\=Busted 'were approached for Big Reunion'\|last\=Corner\|first\=Lewis\|date\=11 November 2013\|website\=Digital Spy\|language\=en\-GB\|access\-date\=2 April 2020}}
### 2015–2016: Simpson's return, comeback tour and *Night Driver*
On 5 October 2015, *[The Sun](/wiki/The_Sun_%28United_Kingdom%29 "The Sun (United Kingdom)")* rumoured that Simpson was set to rejoin Busted.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a672113/move\-over\-mcbusted\-busted\-are\-re\-forming\-as\-charlie\-simpson\-is\-set\-for\-a\-shock\-return.html\|title\=Move over McBusted – Busted are re\-forming as Charlie Simpson is set for a shock return\|last\=Sandwell\|first\=Ian\|date\=6 October 2015\|work\=\[\[Digital Spy]]\|publisher\=\[\[Hearst Magazines UK]]\|access\-date\=6 October 2015}} After this, a photo made its way around the internet that showed the three members of Busted silhouetted in front of a red background. Words appeared to be blurred out at the bottom of the image, but above that was the words "Join us for a special announcement Tuesday November 10th 2015". This implied that the band was reuniting, with further speculation that the three would embark on a reunion tour together. On 10 November 2015, Busted announced a thirteen\-date arena tour in the UK and Ireland would take place in May 2016\.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.kerrang.com/37704/charlie\-simpson\-rejoins\-busted/\|title\=Charlie Simpson Rejoins Busted \|work\=Kerrang!\|author\=James\|date\=10 November 2015\|access\-date\=10 November 2015}} At the same press conference Busted announced their third studio album.{{cite news\|url\=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/artists/busted\-reunion\-charlie\-simpson/\|title\=Busted set to return with live tour – and Charlie Simpson\|last\=Hawkes\|first\=Rebecca\|date\=10 November 2015\|work\=\[\[The Daily Telegraph]]\|access\-date\=10 November 2015}} 100,000 tickets were sold in the first hour of being put on sale.

Regarding his decision to rejoin the band, Simpson told *[Newsbeat](/wiki/Newsbeat "Newsbeat")*: "I reckon I said it \[so many times], privately and publicly, and I meant it every single time. But as I say I have changed my mind and that has been down to the circumstances changing. I never thought we would get to a point where we were in a studio writing music we all got behind creatively and that was a huge shock to me".{{cite news\|url\=http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/34776292/how\-charlie\-simpson\-came\-round\-to\-a\-busted\-reunion\|title\=How Charlie Simpson came round to a Busted reunion\|date\=10 November 2015\|work\=\[\[Newsbeat]]\|publisher\=\[\[BBC Online]]\|access\-date\=17 April 2016}}

Anything we write now goes towards album four".{{cite news\|url\=http://www.digitalspy.com/music/news/a789262/busted\-are\-back\-for\-good\-not\-just\-for\-a\-one\-off\-reunion\-its\-a\-new\-chapter/\|title\=Busted are back for good, not just for a one\-off reunion: 'It's a new chapter'\|last\=Corner\|first\=Lewis\|date\=4 April 2016\|work\=\[\[Digital Spy]]\|publisher\=\[\[Hearst Magazines UK]]\|access\-date\=4 April 2016}} On 4 April 2016, Busted announced that their tour would be called the [Pigs Can Fly Tour 2016](/wiki/Pigs_Can_Fly_Tour_2016 "Pigs Can Fly Tour 2016") and would include [Wheatus](/wiki/Wheatus "Wheatus") and [Emma Blackery](/wiki/Emma_Blackery "Emma Blackery") as special guests. Regarding the title, Willis told *[Newsbeat](/wiki/Newsbeat "Newsbeat")*, "The whole pigs can fly thing sums up how we feel about this. There have been times that we thought Busted could never, ever possibly happen and we were quite right in thinking that. But this summarises that anything is possible".{{cite news\|url\=http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/35959647/busted\-reveal\-emma\-blackery\-and\-wheatus\-will\-join\-their\-uk\-tour\|title\=Busted reveal Emma Blackery and Wheatus will join their UK tour\|date\=4 April 2016\|work\=\[\[Newsbeat]]\|publisher\=\[\[BBC Online]]\|access\-date\=4 April 2016}} In an interview with Digital Spy, the band revealed that their fans will get a taste of their new sound before their reunion tour and that their eleventh single will be released in the summer, and their album would follow in the autumn.

Global Plan to End Tuberculosis

The Global Plan to End TB, 2023\-2030{{Cite web \|title\=Global Plan to End TB {{!}} Stop TB Partnership \|url\=https://www.stoptb.org/advocate\-to\-endtb/global\-plan\-to\-end\-tb \|access\-date\=2024\-01\-17 \|website\=www.stoptb.org}} is a plan for ending TB as a public health challenge by 2030\. It is produced by the Stop TB partnership and provides a blueprint of priority actions required and a detailed estimate of financial resources needed to end TB. This Global Plan builds on the previous edition, which laid out priority actions for 2018\-2022, informed by global commitments member states endorsed at the 2018 United Nations High\-Level Meeting (UNHLM) on TB. The resource needs estimates from this Global Plan include resources needed for implementing TB care and prevention and R\&D into new tools. This Global Plan has already informed the Global Fund Investment Case and the 2022 G20 deliberations on TB. It calls on funders to contribute $5 billion annually for TB R\&D. In 2021, only $1 billion was raised.{{Cite web \|last1\=Raithby \|first1\=Leigh \|last2\=September 2023 \|first2\=Evaline Kibuchi // 07 \|date\=2023\-09\-07 \|title\=Opinion: We won't get the innovation needed to end TB without more R\&D \|url\=https://www.devex.com/news/sponsored/opinion\-we\-won\-t\-get\-the\-innovation\-needed\-to\-end\-tb\-without\-more\-r\-d\-106137 \|access\-date\=2024\-01\-17 \|website\=Devex \|language\=en}}
Prior to this, five other plans were produced:
The first Global Plan to Stop TB 2001\-2005 provided a coherent agenda to rally key new partners, push forward research and development, and have a rapid impact on TB in the areas suffering most from the epidemic It focused on the emerging challenge of rising drug resistance in TB and HIV infection.
The second Global Plan to Stop TB 2006\-2015 was launched in Davos, Switzerland at the World Economic Forum. The total cost of the Plan \- US$56 billion \- represented a threefold increase in annual investment in TB control compared with the first Global Plan. The Plan set out to reduce TB incidence and reach the Partnership’s targets for 2015 of halving TB prevalence and deaths compared with 1990 levels.
The third Global Plan to Stop TB 2011\-2015 focused on scaling up existing interventions for the diagnosis and treatment of TB and introducing new technologies and notably new diagnostic tests.
The fourth Global Plan to End TB 2016–2020 took the End TB Strategy as its foundation and provides countries and policymakers with a path towards achieving the Strategy’s milestones.
The fifth Global Plan to End TB 2018\-2022 aligned with the Political Declaration of the UN High\-Level Meeting (UNHLM) on the Fight Against TB. It provided an estimate of the resources needed to achieve the targets and commitments set at the UNHLM on TB in September 2018 by the deadline of December 2022\.

History

In 2006, Will Calderbank ([cello](/wiki/Cello "Cello")) joined James de Malplaquet ([vocals](/wiki/Vocals "Vocals")) to form the band Grape Authority, a live band playing the songs de Malplaquet had written under the [pseudonym](/wiki/Pseudonym "Pseudonym") James Grape. The pair were playing in Brighton [folk](/wiki/Folk_music "Folk music") band Shoreline, and the more traditional instrumentation used in this band was taken on board, with inspiration derived from the ex\-Zombie [Colin Blunstone](/wiki/Colin_Blunstone "Colin Blunstone")'s "[Say You Don't Mind](/wiki/Say_You_Don%27t_Mind "Say You Don't Mind")"{{cite magazine\|last\=Pronger \|first\=Rachel\|date\=29 June 2010\|title\=Scene Issue 208 by Jaime Riley\|url\=https://issuu.com/jaimekr/docs/scene\_combined208\|magazine\=Scene\|issue\=208\|page\=5\|publisher\=York Vision\|access\-date \= 2021\-03\-29}} and [The Balanescu Quartet](/wiki/The_Balanescu_Quartet "The Balanescu Quartet")'s [Kraftwerk](/wiki/Kraftwerk "Kraftwerk") covers.{{cite web\|url\=https://www.theargus.co.uk/leisure/download/the\_miserable\_rich/\|access\-date\=2021\-03\-29\|title\=The Miserable Rich news from The Argus\|publisher\=The Argus}}{{cite web\|url\=https://www.timeout.com/london/music/the\-miserable\-rich\|date\=14 September 2012\|access\-date\=2021\-03\-29\|title\=The Miserable Rich in London\|publisher\=Time Out}} Together with Mike Siddell (formerly of [Hope of the States](/wiki/Hope_of_the_States "Hope of the States")) on violin, Jim Briffett on [guitar](/wiki/Guitar "Guitar") and Rhys Lovell playing [double bass](/wiki/Double_bass "Double bass"), they created The Miserable Rich.
They recorded their debut album, *[Twelve Ways to Count](/wiki/Twelve_Ways_to_Count "Twelve Ways to Count")*, at de Malplaquet's house in [Hove](/wiki/Hove "Hove") during the summer of 2007\.

The album itself has received widespread critical acclaim, both in [Germany](/wiki/Germany "Germany") and the [UK](/wiki/United_Kingdom "United Kingdom"), with the NME describing it as ‘heartbreakingly beautiful’.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.americana\-uk.com/auk/modules.php?op\=modload\&name\=Reviews\&file\=index\&req\=showcontent\&id\=4146\|title\=The Miserable Rich – Twelve Ways To Count (Humble Soul)\|author\=Paul Villiers\|date\=27 October 2008\|work\=reviews\|publisher\=Americana UK\|accessdate\=2009\-01\-25}}{{cite web\|url\=http://beardedmagazine.co.uk/wp/?p\=397\|title\=The Miserable Rich – Twelve Ways to Count (Humble Soul)\|author\=Peter Clark\|date\=13 November 2008\|work\=reviews\|publisher\=Bearded\|accessdate\=2009\-01\-25}} It was made album of the day on [BBC 6 Music](/wiki/BBC_6_Music "BBC 6 Music"), and the band have been championed in particular by [Marc Riley](/wiki/Marc_Riley "Marc Riley"), for whom they have recorded three live sessions.

The Miserable Rich self\-recorded and produced their second album, *Of Flight \& Fury*, which was mixed by Al Scott, who had previously worked with [The Levellers](/wiki/Levellers_%28band%29 "Levellers (band)"), [Eliza Carthy](/wiki/Eliza_Carthy "Eliza Carthy") and [Asian Dub Foundation](/wiki/Asian_Dub_Foundation "Asian Dub Foundation"), and released in June 2010\.

It was recorded on location at various buildings around the UK that are reputedly haunted, primarily [Blickling Hall](/wiki/Blickling_Hall "Blickling Hall") in Norfolk, commonly considered the most haunted stately home in the UK.{{cite web\|url\=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v\=Wz8XtHI\_nno \|archive\-url\=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211215/Wz8XtHI\_nno \|archive\-date\=2021\-12\-15 \|url\-status\=live\|title\=The Miserable Rich – BBC INTRODUCING IN NORFOLK\|author\=BBC Norfolk\|date\=16 September 2011\|work\=reviews\|publisher\=BBC\|accessdate\=2011\-10\-16}}{{cbignore}} The album again received critical acclaim, with Mark Beaumont writing that it "deserves a Mercury nod".
They have toured extensively in Europe, both as headliners and as support for [Isobel Campbell](/wiki/Isobel_Campbell "Isobel Campbell") and [Mark Lanegan](/wiki/Mark_Lanegan "Mark Lanegan"),{{cite web\|url\=http://www.thelineofbestfit.com/2008/12/isobel\-campbell\-mark\-lanegan\-union\-chapel\-london\-08122008\-photos/\|title\=The Miserable Rich – live at Union Chapel, London\|author\=Valerio Berdini\|publisher\=TheLineOfBestFit\|accessdate\=2009\-01\-25}} with some dates in the US leading up to [SXSW](/wiki/South_by_Southwest "South by Southwest").
In late 2012 The Miserable Rich announced their final concerts in London and Brighton, pending a creative break during which time members of the band would concentrate on other projects.{{cite web\|url \= https://www.facebook.com/events/145472115596059/ \| accessdate \= 27 November 2012 \| author \= The Miserable Rich \| title \= The Miserable Rich's London Finale at Kings Place \| website \= \[\[Facebook]] \| quote \= t'Rich will be taking a well\-earned break for a while.

In 2018, the band reformed to play a benefit concert—KitFest—for the charity de Malplaquet and his wife Sarah set up after the tragic death of their first son at 13 days.{{cite web\|url\=https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/16461665\.baby\-died\-just\-13\-days\-old\-cold\-sore\-virus/\|title\=Baby died at just 13 days old from cold sore virus\|author\=Hsin\-Yi Lo\|date\=18 August 2018 \|publisher\=TheArgus\|accessdate\=2018\-08\-18}} The charity—Kit Tarka Foundation—aimed to reduce infant mortality through research and education, funding the first study into neonatal death by HSV in the UK for over 25 years. James and Sarah spoke to the national press and Channel 5 news, and raised money and awareness through various sponsored events and partnerships.
Through Covid and various difficult times for members, the band sought solace in each other and in writing again.{{cn\|date\=February 2024}} A new single—"Glue"—the song written for KitFest—was scheduled to be released in August 2023\.

However, the team's other partners considered their investments to be the equivalent of charitable donations. They let it be known to Brochu that they would not commit any more money beyond their initial investment. As a result, even though Montreal was the fifth\-largest market in baseball, Brochu was forced to run the Expos on a shoestring budget. Despite this, the Expos managed to assemble a core of players that included [Moisés Alou](/wiki/Mois%C3%A9s_Alou "Moisés Alou"), [Marquis Grissom](/wiki/Marquis_Grissom "Marquis Grissom"), [Larry Walker](/wiki/Larry_Walker "Larry Walker") and [John Wetteland](/wiki/John_Wetteland "John Wetteland").

History
-------
### 1961–1971
Siluete were officially formed on October 20, 1961, by Zoran Miščević (vocals and bass guitar), Branko Gluščević (formerly of the [combo](/wiki/Combo_%28band%29 "Combo (band)") Black Cats, rhythm guitar), Ilija Stanić (guitar), [Zoran Simjanović](/wiki/Zoran_Simjanovi%C4%87 "Zoran Simjanović") (keyboards) and Jovan "Miške" Mišević (drums).{{cite book\|last\=Janjatović\|first\=Petar\|title\= EX YU ROCK enciklopedija 1960–2006\|year\=2007\|publisher\=self\-released\|location\=Belgrade\|page\=206}} The band members, influenced by the film *[The Young Ones](/wiki/The_Young_Ones_%281961_film%29 "The Young Ones (1961 film)")* and the film appearance of [Cliff Richard](/wiki/Cliff_Richard "Cliff Richard") and [The Shadows](/wiki/The_Shadows "The Shadows"), decided to name the band Siluete, after Gluščević's idea.{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=312}} The band had their first performance on a [school dance](/wiki/School_dance "School dance") in Belgrade Economy School, which was followed by performances on numerous dances, in the café at the [Tašmajdan Park](/wiki/Ta%C5%A1majdan_Park "Tašmajdan Park") and in the club Euridika.{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=313}} Mišević was soon replaced by more experienced Miroslav "Mine" Minić. At the beginning of 1962, the band had their first appearance in front of larger crowd, on a concert of popular singer [Đorđe Marjanović](/wiki/%C4%90or%C4%91e_Marjanovi%C4%87 "Đorđe Marjanović"), held in Belgrade's [Trade Union Hall](/wiki/Dom_Sindikata "Dom Sindikata"). Siluete appeared on stage to perform as Marjanović's backing band on the songs "[My Girl Josephine](/wiki/My_Girl_Josephine "My Girl Josephine")" and "[Peppermint Twist](/wiki/Peppermint_Twist "Peppermint Twist")". During 1962 they actively performed on dances and even in the club Orfeum as a part of the club's [cabaret](/wiki/Cabaret "Cabaret") program. For a short period of time percussionist Gvozden Eror performed with them.
After performances in [Makarska](/wiki/Makarska "Makarska") and [Dubrovnik](/wiki/Dubrovnik "Dubrovnik") during the summer of 1963, the forming members of Siluete departed. Simjanović moved to [Elipse](/wiki/Elipse_%28band%29 "Elipse (band)"), Miščević, Gluščević and Minić formed Lutalice (*The Wanderers*) with guitarist Božidar "Lari" Plesničar and rhythm guitarist Slobodan Mihajlović, and Ilić continued to lead Siluete in the new lineup: Dejan Dunjić (bass guitar), Jovan Mišević (drums), Miomir "Kraka" Petrović (formerly of Safiri, rhythm guitar) and Ljuba Đorđević (keyboards). This lineup of the band performed The Shadows\-influenced instrumental music. On one of their performances they were approached by singer [Tomislav "Tomi" Sovilj](/wiki/Tomi_Sovilj_i_Njegove_Siluete "Tomi Sovilj i Njegove Siluete") (formerly of [Zlatni Dečaci](/wiki/Zlatni_De%C4%8Daci "Zlatni Dečaci")), who suggested they work together, so he became the band's new singer. As Lutalice disbanded in 1964, Miščević moved back to Siluete. However, Siluete still had a contract with Sovilj, so for a short period of time they performed with two singers: Sovilj would perform in the first part of concerts and Miščević in the second. After a year spent in Siluete, Sovilj left the band, Siluete continuing with Miščević as the sole vocalist.
The new lineup had their first large performance in the Vuk Karadžić Cultural Centre, on the concert entitled "Koncert za karikaturu i tvist" ("A Concert for [Caricature](/wiki/Caricature "Caricature") and [Twist](/wiki/Twist_%28dance%29 "Twist (dance)")), organized by the [satirical magazine](/wiki/Satirical_magazine "Satirical magazine") *Jež* (*Hedgehog*). The band played numerous concerts in the club Euridika, the café in the Tašmajdan Park, the City Basement dancing hall and [Belgrade Youth Center](/wiki/Belgrade_Youth_Center "Belgrade Youth Center"). On October 14, 1964, they appeared, alongside Faraoni, [Elipse](/wiki/Elipse_%28band%29 "Elipse (band)"), Detlići and [Crveni Koralji](/wiki/Crveni_Koralji "Crveni Koralji"), on the *[Vatromet ritma](/wiki/Vatromet_ritma "Vatromet ritma")* (*Fireworks of Rhythm*) festival in [Novi Sad](/wiki/Novi_Sad "Novi Sad").{{cite book\|last\=Janjatović\|first\=Petar\|title\= EX YU ROCK enciklopedija 1960–2006\|year\=2007\|publisher\=self\-released\|location\=Belgrade\|page\=301}} The bands that performed were chosen via poll conducted by the music magazine *[Ritam](/wiki/Ritam_%28Novi_Sad_magazine%29 "Ritam (Novi Sad magazine)")*. This concert was a part of *Parada ritma* (*Parade of Rhythm*) concert series, arguably the first rock festival in a [communist country](/wiki/Communist_country "Communist country"). In mid\-1964, Tomi Sovilj formed his own Siluete, but the members of the original Siluete filed a lawsuit against him, so Sovilj continued to perform with his band under the name [Tomi Sovilj i Njegove Siluete](/wiki/Tomi_Sovilj_i_Njegove_Siluete "Tomi Sovilj i Njegove Siluete") (*Tomi Sovilj and His Silhouettes*).
During 1965 Siluete shocked the Yugoslav public with their energetic live performances and their appearance, which secured them with huge popularity. At the time there were around 230 rock bands in [Belgrade](/wiki/Belgrade "Belgrade"), but most of them had short hair and tidy clothes, which were the standards Siluete changed.{{cite book\|last\=Janjatović\|first\=Petar\|title\= EX YU ROCK enciklopedija 1960–2006\|year\=2007\|publisher\=self\-released\|location\=Belgrade\|page\=207}} In 1965 the band performed on the *Parada ritma* festival held in Hall 3 of the [Belgrade Fair](/wiki/Belgrade_Fair "Belgrade Fair") in front of some 3,500 people.{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=71}} Siluete performed in the competitive part of the program alongside [Plamenih 5](/wiki/Plamenih_5 "Plamenih 5"), [Sanjalice](/wiki/Sanjalice "Sanjalice"), Juniori, Plavi Dečaci and [Elipse](/wiki/Elipse_%28band%29 "Elipse (band)") and were proclaimed the Best Band. In 1965 the band appeared in [Branko Bauer](/wiki/Branko_Bauer "Branko Bauer")'s film *Doći i ostati* (*To Come and to Stay*). At the first edition of the [Belgrade Gitarijada](/wiki/Gitarijada_%28Belgrade%29 "Gitarijada (Belgrade)") festival, held on January 9, 1966, at [Belgrade Fair – Hall 1](/wiki/Belgrade_Fair_%E2%80%93_Hall_1 "Belgrade Fair – Hall 1"), Siluete performed with other popular rock bands. They were proclaimed the second best band (behind Elipse) by the jury, but were voted the Best Band by the audience.{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=316\-317}} On the festival debuted the band's new guitarist [Dragi Jelić](/wiki/Dragi_Jeli%C4%87 "Dragi Jelić"), formerly of the band Beduini (*The [Bedouins](/wiki/Bedouins "Bedouins")*). As all the members of the band except Jelić had long hair, he appeared on the stage wearing a wig.{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=317}} During the year the band had more than 80 concerts across Yugoslavia, often performing large venues.{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=318}} In Skopje they performed during pouring rain in front of about 6,000 people. During 1966 they often performed in Belgrade and [Zagreb](/wiki/Zagreb "Zagreb") at the exhibitions of painter [Olja Ivanjicki](/wiki/Olja_Ivanjicki "Olja Ivanjicki"). In 1966 they also appeared in Sava Popović's short film *Rapsodija u crnom* (*Rhapsody in Black*).{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=319}}
In 1966 Siluete released their first [EP](/wiki/Extended_play "Extended play"), *Tvoj rođendan* (*Your Birthday*). Besides the title track, which was a cover of [Small Faces](/wiki/Small_Faces "Small Faces") song "[Sha\-La\-La\-La\-Lee](/wiki/Sha-La-La-La-Lee "Sha-La-La-La-Lee")", the EP featured the songs "Najdraži san" ("The Dearest Dream", a cover of [The Searchers](/wiki/The_Searchers_%28band%29 "The Searchers (band)") song "[When You Walk in the Room](/wiki/When_You_Walk_in_the_Room "When You Walk in the Room")"), "Keti" ("Cathy") and "Uhvati vetar" ("Catch the Wind", a cover of [Donovan](/wiki/Donovan "Donovan")'s "[Catch the Wind](/wiki/Catch_the_Wind "Catch the Wind")"). All the lyrics were written by Miomir Petrović. The release was disliked by the press, and the band members themselves stated that the songs were recorded hastily and that they are not satisfied with the EP.{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=318\-319}} However, *Tvoj rođendan* was sold more in than 60,000 copies. In 1967 the band released two more EPs. The first one was entitled *Dona*. Beside the title track, which was a cover of [Ritchie Valens](/wiki/Ritchie_Valens "Ritchie Valens") song "[Donna](/wiki/Donna_%28Ritchie_Valens_song%29 "Donna (Ritchie Valens song)")", the EP featured the songs "Noć za ljubav" ("A Night for Love", a cover of [The Troggs](/wiki/The_Troggs "The Troggs") song "[With a Girl Like You](/wiki/With_a_Girl_Like_You "With a Girl Like You")"), "Moj srećan dom" ("My Happy Home", a cover of [Stonewall Jackson](/wiki/Stonewall_Jackson_%28musician%29 "Stonewall Jackson (musician)") song "[I Washed My Hands in Muddy Water](/wiki/I_Washed_My_Hands_in_Muddy_Water "I Washed My Hands in Muddy Water")") and "Uzmi ili ostavi" ("Take It or Leave It", a cover of [The Rolling Stones](/wiki/The_Rolling_Stones "The Rolling Stones")' "[Take It or Leave It](/wiki/Take_It_or_Leave_It_%28Rolling_Stones_song%29 "Take It or Leave It (Rolling Stones song)")"). The second EP was entitled *Kišu sam tražio* (*I Asked for Rain*). This was the band's first release to feature their own songs, the title track and the song "Raskid" ("Breakup"), both of them written by Dunjić. The other two songs on the EP were "Voleti nekog" ("To Love Somebody", a cover of the [Bee Gees](/wiki/Bee_Gees "Bee Gees")' "[To Love Somebody](/wiki/To_Love_Somebody_%28song%29 "To Love Somebody (song)")") and "Plakaću sutra" ("I'll Cry Tomorrow", a cover of The Searchers' "I'll Cry Tomorrow").

The releases brought them new attention of the media, which started promoting rivalry between Silute and [Elipse](/wiki/Elipse_%28band%29 "Elipse (band)"), comparing it to the one between [The Rolling Stones](/wiki/The_Rolling_Stones "The Rolling Stones") and [The Beatles](/wiki/The_Beatles "The Beatles"), Elipse usually being proclaimed more competent musicians and Siluete better showmen.{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=328}} In 1967 both bands performed as the opening acts on [The Searchers](/wiki/The_Searchers_%28band%29 "The Searchers (band)") concerts in [Belgrade](/wiki/Belgrade "Belgrade") and [Zrenjanin](/wiki/Zrenjanin "Zrenjanin"). During the year Siluete won the first place on the second edition of Gitarijada festival. They appeared in TV show *Koncert za ludi mladi svet* (*A Concert for Young Crazy World*) with the songs "[I'm a Man](/wiki/I%27m_a_Man_%28The_Spencer_Davis_Group_song%29 "I'm a Man (The Spencer Davis Group song)")" and "[Massachusetts](/wiki/Massachusetts_%28Bee_Gees_song%29 "Massachusetts (Bee Gees song)")", the videos for which were shot in the [Wild West](/wiki/Wild_West "Wild West") town settings in the [Avala Film](/wiki/Avala_Film "Avala Film") Studios.{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=327}} In 1967 [Srđan Karanović](/wiki/Sr%C4%91an_Karanovi%C4%87 "Srđan Karanović"), at the time a film direction student, made a television movie about the band, entitled *Učio sam dve godine kontrabas* (*I Learned to Play Bass for Two Years*), and the band also appeared in the TV series *Krug dvojkom* (*A Round by Streetcar No. 2*) as [cavemen](/wiki/Cavemen "Cavemen") creating music by using bones.{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=325}} In 1967 they were voted the best Yugoslav band by the readers of the youth magazine *Mladost* (*Youth*).{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=327}} The band appeared on front covers of various magazines and Miščević's long blond hair caused numerous scandals. There were several attempts by citizens of Belgrade to cut his hair, so he got the media's attention by trying to [insure](/wiki/Insurance "Insurance") his hair. He provoked the conservative public by posing for photographers under a [hooded dryer](/wiki/Hair_dryer "Hair dryer"), by wearing excessive jewelry and stating that his only mistake was not being born in the age of [Romulus and Remus](/wiki/Romulus_and_Remus "Romulus and Remus").{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=322\-323}} Prior to a concert in Zagreb Miščević announced that he would kill twenty chickens on stage, and on a concert in [Niš](/wiki/Ni%C5%A1 "Niš") he provoked audience to trow rotten fruit on stage.{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=323}} On some of the concerts Miščević organized dancing competitions for girls from the audience, with the first prize being a week of dating him, the second prize three days of dating him and the third prize a date with him.{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=324}} He started receiving hundreds of [fan letters](/wiki/Fan_letter "Fan letter"), becoming the first Yugoslav [superstar](/wiki/Superstar "Superstar") since singer [Đorđe Marjanović](/wiki/%C4%90or%C4%91e_Marjanovi%C4%87 "Đorđe Marjanović"),{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=331}} and young people across Yugoslavia sprayed the band's name on walls. However, a part of the press criticized the band for dedicating most of their attention to their appearance and not making any efforts to improve their musical skills and sound.{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=320}}
Encouraged by the success in Yugoslavia, the band decided to try to break into the foreign market, for months they performing in [Austria](/wiki/Austria "Austria") and [West Germany](/wiki/West_Germany "West Germany"). In Vienna they performed in the clubs Chattanooga and Star Club. The Austrian newspaper *[Kurier](/wiki/Kurier "Kurier")* wrote about their performances describing them as "descendants of [hajduks](/wiki/Hajduk "Hajduk") who fought against the [Turks](/wiki/Turkish_people "Turkish people")". However, the guitarist Dragi Jelić left the band and joined [Džentlmeni](/wiki/D%C5%BEentlmeni "Džentlmeni") (later forming highly successful [YU Grupa](/wiki/YU_Grupa "YU Grupa") with his brother [Žika Jelić](/wiki/%C5%BDika_Jeli%C4%87 "Žika Jelić")). Jelić was replaced by a former Džentlmeni member Slobodan Todorović. During one of their absences from Yugoslavia some Yugoslav newspapers published the rumor that Siluete performed at a graveyard in [Nuremberg](/wiki/Nuremberg "Nuremberg").
After their efforts to gain success abroad failed, the band decided to dedicate themselves to their status on the Yugoslav scene. They organized a comeback concert in Belgrade Youth Center, which featured [Džentlmeni](/wiki/D%C5%BEentlmeni "Džentlmeni") as the opening band and a guest appearance by the [jazz ballet](/wiki/Jazz_dance "Jazz dance") group Džezabal (*Jazzabelle*).{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=326}} The press praised the performance and the fact the band started dedicating more attention to their musicianship. After the concert the band went on a Yugoslav tour during which they performed 120 concerts, on which debuted new guitarist Ljubomir Sedlar, formerly of the band Vizije (*The Visions*). A part of the tour was a twenty\-three\-hour concert held on New Year's Eve in Belgrade Youth Center. In January 1968, at their concert in [Sarajevo](/wiki/Sarajevo "Sarajevo"), a riot broke out. A large number of chairs was broken, Miščević's shirt was ripped off and his gold necklace was split, Ljuba Đorđević was hit on the head with a bottle and their manager's wallet was stolen. At the Siluete concert in [Novi Sad](/wiki/Novi_Sad "Novi Sad") the band members broke their guitars, got in a fight with the audience and the band's van was by damaged by the mob. The band spent the summer of 1968 performing in Belgrade, playing four times a week in the Rade Končar School yard.
In 1969 Dunjić left the band and moved to London. He was replaced by bass guitarist and painter Aleksandar Cvetković. After releasing the single with the songs "Sećanje na Keti" ("Memory of Cathy") and "Dosadan dan" ("Boring Day"), they started performing in clubs all over Europe, once again trying to secure a contract with a foreign record label, but after failing to do so they split\-up. The members of the band returned to Yugoslavia, Cvetković joining the band CD, with only Miščević staying in West Germany. He spent two more years there, performing with an Italian band. After returning to Yugoslavia in 1973 he performed with various bands, including the band Formula Ljubavi (*Formula of Love*) from [Inđija](/wiki/In%C4%91ija "Inđija"), making an appearance on their 1973 [7" single](/wiki/7%22_single "7") "Banane" / "Reka suza" ("Bananas" / "River of Tears"), before he decided to retire from the scene.
### 1975–1995
[thumb\|right\|250px\|One of numerous Siluete lineups from the 1980s. The lineup pictured features [Nikola Čuturilo](/wiki/Nikola_%C4%8Cuturilo "Nikola Čuturilo") (second one from the right), who later gained fame as a guitarist for [Riblja Čorba](/wiki/Riblja_%C4%8Corba "Riblja Čorba") and singer\-songwriter.](/wiki/Image:Siluete_in_1982.jpg "Siluete in 1982.jpg")
In 1975 Miščević decided to reform Siluete. The new lineup featured, beside Miščević, only one former Siluete member, Ljuba Đorđević (keyboards). The rest of the lineup consisted of Slobodan "Boba" Orlić (formerly of Bitnici, bass guitar) Dragan Vukelić (electric piano) and Radomir Dramičanin (formerly of [Dah](/wiki/Dah_%28band%29 "Dah (band)"), drums). Siluete went on a tour on which Miščević appeared on stage with a snake, but they saw little success and disbanded once again. In 1976 Miščević and Đorđević reformed Siluete with a group of younger musicians. This lineup recorded the singles "Ponoćni voz" ("Midnight Train") and "Makedonsko devojče" ("[Macedonian](/wiki/North_Macedonia "North Macedonia") Girl"), the latter with former [Miss Yugoslavia](/wiki/Miss_Yugoslavia "Miss Yugoslavia") Lidija Vekovska.
During the following years Miščević led Siluete with little success. The new musical trends pushed Siluete to the margin of the Yugoslav scene. The band usually performed smaller venues and saw little media attention. However, they did appear on several large festivals, on which the band would usually perform a cover of [Bijelo Dugme](/wiki/Bijelo_Dugme "Bijelo Dugme")'s hit "Kad bi bio bijelo dugme" ("If I Were a White Button"), with altered lyrics including the verses "Dok su bile Siluete / Dugmići su bili malo dete" ("While Silhouettes were playing / the [Buttons](/wiki/Bijelo_Dugme "Bijelo Dugme") were just kids"). Siluete would appear on Bijelo Dugme's 1979 concert at [JNA Stadium](/wiki/JNA_Stadium "JNA Stadium") as one of the opening bands. More than 180 musicians passed through Siluete, with Miščević and Đorđević being the only mainstay members of the band. Đorđević died in 1986, but Miščević decided to continue the band's activity. In 1994, a various artists compilation album *[Sjaj izgubljene ljubavi: Muzika šezdesetih](/wiki/YU_retROCKspektiva%23Sjaj_izgubljene_ljubavi:Muzika_%C5%A1ezdesetih "Muzika šezdesetih")* (*Shine of the Lost Love: Music of the 1960s*), a part of the *[YU retROCKspektiva](/wiki/YU_retROCKspektiva "YU retROCKspektiva")* (*YU retROCKspektive*) album series, was released, featuring Siluete song "Tvoj rođendan". Zoran Miščević died on April 4, 1995, Siluete thus ending their activity.
### Post 1995
In 2000 the compilation album *VIS Siluete* (*VIS* being an abbreviation for *Vokalno\-instrumentalni sastav*, trans. *Vocal\-instrumental ensemble*), with an overview of the band's work, was released.
The songs "Tvoj rođendan", "Uhvati vetar" and the previously unreleased instrumental "Tema Silueta" ("Siluete's Theme") was published on the [box set](/wiki/Box_set "Box set") *Kad je rock bio mlad – Priče sa istočne strane (1956–1970\)* (*When Rock Was Young – East Side Stories (1956–1970\)*), released by [Croatia Records](/wiki/Croatia_Records "Croatia Records") in 2005 and featuring songs by the pioneering Yugoslav rock acts. "Tema Silueta" was recorded in 1962, on a rehearsal in Gvozden Eror's apartment.
Siluete former guitarist Miroslav Petrović formed the [old city music](/wiki/Starogradska_muzika "Starogradska muzika") band Daniluške. He wrote the main theme for [Branko Bauer](/wiki/Branko_Bauer "Branko Bauer")'s TV series *[The Farm in the Small Marsh](/wiki/The_Farm_in_the_Small_Marsh_%28TV_series%29 "The Farm in the Small Marsh (TV series)")*, appearing in the series in a supporting role. He died at the beginning of the 1990s.
Siluete former drummer Miroslav Minić moved to Germany, where he would perform with Belgrade Show Orchestra. In 1971 he moved to [Norway](/wiki/Norway "Norway"). He performed until 1986, when he dedicated himself to fashion design.

"Siluete were officially formed on October 20, 1961, by Zoran Miščević (vocals and bass guitar), Branko Gluščević (formerly of the [combo](/wiki/Combo_%28band%29 \"Combo (band)\") Black Cats, rhythm guitar), Ilija Stanić (guitar), [Zoran Simjanović](/wiki/Zoran_Simjanovi%C4%87 \"Zoran Simjanović\") (keyboards) and Jovan \"Miške\" Mišević (drums).{{cite book\\|last\\=Janjatović\\|first\\=Petar\\|title\\= EX YU ROCK enciklopedija 1960–2006\\|year\\=2007\\|publisher\\=self\\-released\\|location\\=Belgrade\\|page\\=206}} The band members, influenced by the film *[The Young Ones](/wiki/The_Young_Ones_%281961_film%29 \"The Young Ones (1961 film)\")* and the film appearance of [Cliff Richard](/wiki/Cliff_Richard \"Cliff Richard\") and [The Shadows](/wiki/The_Shadows \"The Shadows\"), decided to name the band Siluete, after Gluščević's idea.{{cite book\\|last1\\=Fajfrić\\|first1\\=Željko\\|last2\\=Nenad\\|first2\\=Milan\\|title\\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\\.\\|year\\=2009\\|publisher\\=Tabernakl\\|location\\=Sremska Mitrovica\\|page\\=312}} The band had their first performance on a [school dance](/wiki/School_dance \"School dance\") in Belgrade Economy School, which was followed by performances on numerous dances, in the café at the [Tašmajdan Park](/wiki/Ta%C5%A1majdan_Park \"Tašmajdan Park\") and in the club Euridika.{{cite book\\|last1\\=Fajfrić\\|first1\\=Željko\\|last2\\=Nenad\\|first2\\=Milan\\|title\\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\\.\\|year\\=2009\\|publisher\\=Tabernakl\\|location\\=Sremska Mitrovica\\|page\\=313}} Mišević was soon replaced by more experienced Miroslav \"Mine\" Minić. At the beginning of 1962, the band had their first appearance in front of larger crowd, on a concert of popular singer [Đorđe Marjanović](/wiki/%C4%90or%C4%91e_Marjanovi%C4%87 \"Đorđe Marjanović\"), held in Belgrade's [Trade Union Hall](/wiki/Dom_Sindikata \"Dom Sindikata\"). Siluete appeared on stage to perform as Marjanović's backing band on the songs \"[My Girl Josephine](/wiki/My_Girl_Josephine \"My Girl Josephine\")\" and \"[Peppermint Twist](/wiki/Peppermint_Twist \"Peppermint Twist\")\". During 1962 they actively performed on dances and even in the club Orfeum as a part of the club's [cabaret](/wiki/Cabaret \"Cabaret\") program. For a short period of time percussionist Gvozden Eror performed with them.",
"After performances in [Makarska](/wiki/Makarska \"Makarska\") and [Dubrovnik](/wiki/Dubrovnik \"Dubrovnik\") during the summer of 1963, the forming members of Siluete departed. Simjanović moved to [Elipse](/wiki/Elipse_%28band%29 \"Elipse (band)\"), Miščević, Gluščević and Minić formed Lutalice (*The Wanderers*) with guitarist Božidar \"Lari\" Plesničar and rhythm guitarist Slobodan Mihajlović, and Ilić continued to lead Siluete in the new lineup: Dejan Dunjić (bass guitar), Jovan Mišević (drums), Miomir \"Kraka\" Petrović (formerly of Safiri, rhythm guitar) and Ljuba Đorđević (keyboards). This lineup of the band performed The Shadows\\-influenced instrumental music. On one of their performances they were approached by singer [Tomislav \"Tomi\" Sovilj](/wiki/Tomi_Sovilj_i_Njegove_Siluete \"Tomi Sovilj i Njegove Siluete\") (formerly of [Zlatni Dečaci](/wiki/Zlatni_De%C4%8Daci \"Zlatni Dečaci\")), who suggested they work together, so he became the band's new singer. As Lutalice disbanded in 1964, Miščević moved back to Siluete. However, Siluete still had a contract with Sovilj, so for a short period of time they performed with two singers: Sovilj would perform in the first part of concerts and Miščević in the second. After a year spent in Siluete, Sovilj left the band, Siluete continuing with Miščević as the sole vocalist.",
"The new lineup had their first large performance in the Vuk Karadžić Cultural Centre, on the concert entitled \"Koncert za karikaturu i tvist\" (\"A Concert for [Caricature](/wiki/Caricature \"Caricature\") and [Twist](/wiki/Twist_%28dance%29 \"Twist (dance)\")), organized by the [satirical magazine](/wiki/Satirical_magazine \"Satirical magazine\") *Jež* (*Hedgehog*).

In mid\\-1964, Tomi Sovilj formed his own Siluete, but the members of the original Siluete filed a lawsuit against him, so Sovilj continued to perform with his band under the name [Tomi Sovilj i Njegove Siluete](/wiki/Tomi_Sovilj_i_Njegove_Siluete \"Tomi Sovilj i Njegove Siluete\") (*Tomi Sovilj and His Silhouettes*).",
"During 1965 Siluete shocked the Yugoslav public with their energetic live performances and their appearance, which secured them with huge popularity.

After the concert the band went on a Yugoslav tour during which they performed 120 concerts, on which debuted new guitarist Ljubomir Sedlar, formerly of the band Vizije (*The Visions*). A part of the tour was a twenty\\-three\\-hour concert held on New Year's Eve in Belgrade Youth Center. In January 1968, at their concert in [Sarajevo](/wiki/Sarajevo \"Sarajevo\"), a riot broke out.

"During the following years Miščević led Siluete with little success. The new musical trends pushed Siluete to the margin of the Yugoslav scene. The band usually performed smaller venues and saw little media attention. However, they did appear on several large festivals, on which the band would usually perform a cover of [Bijelo Dugme](/wiki/Bijelo_Dugme \"Bijelo Dugme\")'s hit \"Kad bi bio bijelo dugme\" (\"If I Were a White Button\"), with altered lyrics including the verses \"Dok su bile Siluete / Dugmići su bili malo dete\" (\"While Silhouettes were playing / the [Buttons](/wiki/Bijelo_Dugme \"Bijelo Dugme\") were just kids\").

### 1961–1971
Siluete were officially formed on October 20, 1961, by Zoran Miščević (vocals and bass guitar), Branko Gluščević (formerly of the [combo](/wiki/Combo_%28band%29 "Combo (band)") Black Cats, rhythm guitar), Ilija Stanić (guitar), [Zoran Simjanović](/wiki/Zoran_Simjanovi%C4%87 "Zoran Simjanović") (keyboards) and Jovan "Miške" Mišević (drums).{{cite book\|last\=Janjatović\|first\=Petar\|title\= EX YU ROCK enciklopedija 1960–2006\|year\=2007\|publisher\=self\-released\|location\=Belgrade\|page\=206}} The band members, influenced by the film *[The Young Ones](/wiki/The_Young_Ones_%281961_film%29 "The Young Ones (1961 film)")* and the film appearance of [Cliff Richard](/wiki/Cliff_Richard "Cliff Richard") and [The Shadows](/wiki/The_Shadows "The Shadows"), decided to name the band Siluete, after Gluščević's idea.{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=312}} The band had their first performance on a [school dance](/wiki/School_dance "School dance") in Belgrade Economy School, which was followed by performances on numerous dances, in the café at the [Tašmajdan Park](/wiki/Ta%C5%A1majdan_Park "Tašmajdan Park") and in the club Euridika.{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=313}} Mišević was soon replaced by more experienced Miroslav "Mine" Minić. At the beginning of 1962, the band had their first appearance in front of larger crowd, on a concert of popular singer [Đorđe Marjanović](/wiki/%C4%90or%C4%91e_Marjanovi%C4%87 "Đorđe Marjanović"), held in Belgrade's [Trade Union Hall](/wiki/Dom_Sindikata "Dom Sindikata"). Siluete appeared on stage to perform as Marjanović's backing band on the songs "[My Girl Josephine](/wiki/My_Girl_Josephine "My Girl Josephine")" and "[Peppermint Twist](/wiki/Peppermint_Twist "Peppermint Twist")". During 1962 they actively performed on dances and even in the club Orfeum as a part of the club's [cabaret](/wiki/Cabaret "Cabaret") program. For a short period of time percussionist Gvozden Eror performed with them.
After performances in [Makarska](/wiki/Makarska "Makarska") and [Dubrovnik](/wiki/Dubrovnik "Dubrovnik") during the summer of 1963, the forming members of Siluete departed. Simjanović moved to [Elipse](/wiki/Elipse_%28band%29 "Elipse (band)"), Miščević, Gluščević and Minić formed Lutalice (*The Wanderers*) with guitarist Božidar "Lari" Plesničar and rhythm guitarist Slobodan Mihajlović, and Ilić continued to lead Siluete in the new lineup: Dejan Dunjić (bass guitar), Jovan Mišević (drums), Miomir "Kraka" Petrović (formerly of Safiri, rhythm guitar) and Ljuba Đorđević (keyboards). This lineup of the band performed The Shadows\-influenced instrumental music. On one of their performances they were approached by singer [Tomislav "Tomi" Sovilj](/wiki/Tomi_Sovilj_i_Njegove_Siluete "Tomi Sovilj i Njegove Siluete") (formerly of [Zlatni Dečaci](/wiki/Zlatni_De%C4%8Daci "Zlatni Dečaci")), who suggested they work together, so he became the band's new singer. As Lutalice disbanded in 1964, Miščević moved back to Siluete. However, Siluete still had a contract with Sovilj, so for a short period of time they performed with two singers: Sovilj would perform in the first part of concerts and Miščević in the second. After a year spent in Siluete, Sovilj left the band, Siluete continuing with Miščević as the sole vocalist.
The new lineup had their first large performance in the Vuk Karadžić Cultural Centre, on the concert entitled "Koncert za karikaturu i tvist" ("A Concert for [Caricature](/wiki/Caricature "Caricature") and [Twist](/wiki/Twist_%28dance%29 "Twist (dance)")), organized by the [satirical magazine](/wiki/Satirical_magazine "Satirical magazine") *Jež* (*Hedgehog*). The band played numerous concerts in the club Euridika, the café in the Tašmajdan Park, the City Basement dancing hall and [Belgrade Youth Center](/wiki/Belgrade_Youth_Center "Belgrade Youth Center"). On October 14, 1964, they appeared, alongside Faraoni, [Elipse](/wiki/Elipse_%28band%29 "Elipse (band)"), Detlići and [Crveni Koralji](/wiki/Crveni_Koralji "Crveni Koralji"), on the *[Vatromet ritma](/wiki/Vatromet_ritma "Vatromet ritma")* (*Fireworks of Rhythm*) festival in [Novi Sad](/wiki/Novi_Sad "Novi Sad").{{cite book\|last\=Janjatović\|first\=Petar\|title\= EX YU ROCK enciklopedija 1960–2006\|year\=2007\|publisher\=self\-released\|location\=Belgrade\|page\=301}} The bands that performed were chosen via poll conducted by the music magazine *[Ritam](/wiki/Ritam_%28Novi_Sad_magazine%29 "Ritam (Novi Sad magazine)")*. This concert was a part of *Parada ritma* (*Parade of Rhythm*) concert series, arguably the first rock festival in a [communist country](/wiki/Communist_country "Communist country"). In mid\-1964, Tomi Sovilj formed his own Siluete, but the members of the original Siluete filed a lawsuit against him, so Sovilj continued to perform with his band under the name [Tomi Sovilj i Njegove Siluete](/wiki/Tomi_Sovilj_i_Njegove_Siluete "Tomi Sovilj i Njegove Siluete") (*Tomi Sovilj and His Silhouettes*).
During 1965 Siluete shocked the Yugoslav public with their energetic live performances and their appearance, which secured them with huge popularity. At the time there were around 230 rock bands in [Belgrade](/wiki/Belgrade "Belgrade"), but most of them had short hair and tidy clothes, which were the standards Siluete changed.{{cite book\|last\=Janjatović\|first\=Petar\|title\= EX YU ROCK enciklopedija 1960–2006\|year\=2007\|publisher\=self\-released\|location\=Belgrade\|page\=207}} In 1965 the band performed on the *Parada ritma* festival held in Hall 3 of the [Belgrade Fair](/wiki/Belgrade_Fair "Belgrade Fair") in front of some 3,500 people.{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=71}} Siluete performed in the competitive part of the program alongside [Plamenih 5](/wiki/Plamenih_5 "Plamenih 5"), [Sanjalice](/wiki/Sanjalice "Sanjalice"), Juniori, Plavi Dečaci and [Elipse](/wiki/Elipse_%28band%29 "Elipse (band)") and were proclaimed the Best Band.

The releases brought them new attention of the media, which started promoting rivalry between Silute and [Elipse](/wiki/Elipse_%28band%29 "Elipse (band)"), comparing it to the one between [The Rolling Stones](/wiki/The_Rolling_Stones "The Rolling Stones") and [The Beatles](/wiki/The_Beatles "The Beatles"), Elipse usually being proclaimed more competent musicians and Siluete better showmen.{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=328}} In 1967 both bands performed as the opening acts on [The Searchers](/wiki/The_Searchers_%28band%29 "The Searchers (band)") concerts in [Belgrade](/wiki/Belgrade "Belgrade") and [Zrenjanin](/wiki/Zrenjanin "Zrenjanin").

There were several attempts by citizens of Belgrade to cut his hair, so he got the media's attention by trying to [insure](/wiki/Insurance "Insurance") his hair. He provoked the conservative public by posing for photographers under a [hooded dryer](/wiki/Hair_dryer "Hair dryer"), by wearing excessive jewelry and stating that his only mistake was not being born in the age of [Romulus and Remus](/wiki/Romulus_and_Remus "Romulus and Remus").{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=322\-323}} Prior to a concert in Zagreb Miščević announced that he would kill twenty chickens on stage, and on a concert in [Niš](/wiki/Ni%C5%A1 "Niš") he provoked audience to trow rotten fruit on stage.{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=323}} On some of the concerts Miščević organized dancing competitions for girls from the audience, with the first prize being a week of dating him, the second prize three days of dating him and the third prize a date with him.{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=324}} He started receiving hundreds of [fan letters](/wiki/Fan_letter "Fan letter"), becoming the first Yugoslav [superstar](/wiki/Superstar "Superstar") since singer [Đorđe Marjanović](/wiki/%C4%90or%C4%91e_Marjanovi%C4%87 "Đorđe Marjanović"),{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=331}} and young people across Yugoslavia sprayed the band's name on walls. However, a part of the press criticized the band for dedicating most of their attention to their appearance and not making any efforts to improve their musical skills and sound.{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=320}}
Encouraged by the success in Yugoslavia, the band decided to try to break into the foreign market, for months they performing in [Austria](/wiki/Austria "Austria") and [West Germany](/wiki/West_Germany "West Germany"). In Vienna they performed in the clubs Chattanooga and Star Club. The Austrian newspaper *[Kurier](/wiki/Kurier "Kurier")* wrote about their performances describing them as "descendants of [hajduks](/wiki/Hajduk "Hajduk") who fought against the [Turks](/wiki/Turkish_people "Turkish people")". However, the guitarist Dragi Jelić left the band and joined [Džentlmeni](/wiki/D%C5%BEentlmeni "Džentlmeni") (later forming highly successful [YU Grupa](/wiki/YU_Grupa "YU Grupa") with his brother [Žika Jelić](/wiki/%C5%BDika_Jeli%C4%87 "Žika Jelić")). Jelić was replaced by a former Džentlmeni member Slobodan Todorović. During one of their absences from Yugoslavia some Yugoslav newspapers published the rumor that Siluete performed at a graveyard in [Nuremberg](/wiki/Nuremberg "Nuremberg").
After their efforts to gain success abroad failed, the band decided to dedicate themselves to their status on the Yugoslav scene. They organized a comeback concert in Belgrade Youth Center, which featured [Džentlmeni](/wiki/D%C5%BEentlmeni "Džentlmeni") as the opening band and a guest appearance by the [jazz ballet](/wiki/Jazz_dance "Jazz dance") group Džezabal (*Jazzabelle*).{{cite book\|last1\=Fajfrić\|first1\=Željko\|last2\=Nenad\|first2\=Milan\|title\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\.\|year\=2009\|publisher\=Tabernakl\|location\=Sremska Mitrovica\|page\=326}} The press praised the performance and the fact the band started dedicating more attention to their musicianship. After the concert the band went on a Yugoslav tour during which they performed 120 concerts, on which debuted new guitarist Ljubomir Sedlar, formerly of the band Vizije (*The Visions*). A part of the tour was a twenty\-three\-hour concert held on New Year's Eve in Belgrade Youth Center. In January 1968, at their concert in [Sarajevo](/wiki/Sarajevo "Sarajevo"), a riot broke out. A large number of chairs was broken, Miščević's shirt was ripped off and his gold necklace was split, Ljuba Đorđević was hit on the head with a bottle and their manager's wallet was stolen. At the Siluete concert in [Novi Sad](/wiki/Novi_Sad "Novi Sad") the band members broke their guitars, got in a fight with the audience and the band's van was by damaged by the mob. The band spent the summer of 1968 performing in Belgrade, playing four times a week in the Rade Končar School yard.
In 1969 Dunjić left the band and moved to London. He was replaced by bass guitarist and painter Aleksandar Cvetković. After releasing the single with the songs "Sećanje na Keti" ("Memory of Cathy") and "Dosadan dan" ("Boring Day"), they started performing in clubs all over Europe, once again trying to secure a contract with a foreign record label, but after failing to do so they split\-up. The members of the band returned to Yugoslavia, Cvetković joining the band CD, with only Miščević staying in West Germany. He spent two more years there, performing with an Italian band. After returning to Yugoslavia in 1973 he performed with various bands, including the band Formula Ljubavi (*Formula of Love*) from [Inđija](/wiki/In%C4%91ija "Inđija"), making an appearance on their 1973 [7" single](/wiki/7%22_single "7") "Banane" / "Reka suza" ("Bananas" / "River of Tears"), before he decided to retire from the scene.

At the beginning of 1962, the band had their first appearance in front of larger crowd, on a concert of popular singer [Đorđe Marjanović](/wiki/%C4%90or%C4%91e_Marjanovi%C4%87 \"Đorđe Marjanović\"), held in Belgrade's [Trade Union Hall](/wiki/Dom_Sindikata \"Dom Sindikata\").

For a short period of time percussionist Gvozden Eror performed with them.",
"After performances in [Makarska](/wiki/Makarska \"Makarska\") and [Dubrovnik](/wiki/Dubrovnik \"Dubrovnik\") during the summer of 1963, the forming members of Siluete departed. Simjanović moved to [Elipse](/wiki/Elipse_%28band%29 \"Elipse (band)\"), Miščević, Gluščević and Minić formed Lutalice (*The Wanderers*) with guitarist Božidar \"Lari\" Plesničar and rhythm guitarist Slobodan Mihajlović, and Ilić continued to lead Siluete in the new lineup: Dejan Dunjić (bass guitar), Jovan Mišević (drums), Miomir \"Kraka\" Petrović (formerly of Safiri, rhythm guitar) and Ljuba Đorđević (keyboards). This lineup of the band performed The Shadows\\-influenced instrumental music. On one of their performances they were approached by singer [Tomislav \"Tomi\" Sovilj](/wiki/Tomi_Sovilj_i_Njegove_Siluete \"Tomi Sovilj i Njegove Siluete\") (formerly of [Zlatni Dečaci](/wiki/Zlatni_De%C4%8Daci \"Zlatni Dečaci\")), who suggested they work together, so he became the band's new singer. As Lutalice disbanded in 1964, Miščević moved back to Siluete. However, Siluete still had a contract with Sovilj, so for a short period of time they performed with two singers: Sovilj would perform in the first part of concerts and Miščević in the second. After a year spent in Siluete, Sovilj left the band, Siluete continuing with Miščević as the sole vocalist.",
"The new lineup had their first large performance in the Vuk Karadžić Cultural Centre, on the concert entitled \"Koncert za karikaturu i tvist\" (\"A Concert for [Caricature](/wiki/Caricature \"Caricature\") and [Twist](/wiki/Twist_%28dance%29 \"Twist (dance)\")), organized by the [satirical magazine](/wiki/Satirical_magazine \"Satirical magazine\") *Jež* (*Hedgehog*).

The other two songs on the EP were \"Voleti nekog\" (\"To Love Somebody\", a cover of the [Bee Gees](/wiki/Bee_Gees \"Bee Gees\")' \"[To Love Somebody](/wiki/To_Love_Somebody_%28song%29 \"To Love Somebody (song)\")\") and \"Plakaću sutra\" (\"I'll Cry Tomorrow\", a cover of The Searchers' \"I'll Cry Tomorrow\").",

There were several attempts by citizens of Belgrade to cut his hair, so he got the media's attention by trying to [insure](/wiki/Insurance \"Insurance\") his hair. He provoked the conservative public by posing for photographers under a [hooded dryer](/wiki/Hair_dryer \"Hair dryer\"), by wearing excessive jewelry and stating that his only mistake was not being born in the age of [Romulus and Remus](/wiki/Romulus_and_Remus \"Romulus and Remus\").{{cite book\\|last1\\=Fajfrić\\|first1\\=Željko\\|last2\\=Nenad\\|first2\\=Milan\\|title\\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\\.\\|year\\=2009\\|publisher\\=Tabernakl\\|location\\=Sremska Mitrovica\\|page\\=322\\-323}} Prior to a concert in Zagreb Miščević announced that he would kill twenty chickens on stage, and on a concert in [Niš](/wiki/Ni%C5%A1 \"Niš\") he provoked audience to trow rotten fruit on stage.{{cite book\\|last1\\=Fajfrić\\|first1\\=Željko\\|last2\\=Nenad\\|first2\\=Milan\\|title\\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\\.\\|year\\=2009\\|publisher\\=Tabernakl\\|location\\=Sremska Mitrovica\\|page\\=323}} On some of the concerts Miščević organized dancing competitions for girls from the audience, with the first prize being a week of dating him, the second prize three days of dating him and the third prize a date with him.{{cite book\\|last1\\=Fajfrić\\|first1\\=Željko\\|last2\\=Nenad\\|first2\\=Milan\\|title\\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\\.\\|year\\=2009\\|publisher\\=Tabernakl\\|location\\=Sremska Mitrovica\\|page\\=324}} He started receiving hundreds of [fan letters](/wiki/Fan_letter \"Fan letter\"), becoming the first Yugoslav [superstar](/wiki/Superstar \"Superstar\") since singer [Đorđe Marjanović](/wiki/%C4%90or%C4%91e_Marjanovi%C4%87 \"Đorđe Marjanović\"),{{cite book\\|last1\\=Fajfrić\\|first1\\=Željko\\|last2\\=Nenad\\|first2\\=Milan\\|title\\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\\.\\|year\\=2009\\|publisher\\=Tabernakl\\|location\\=Sremska Mitrovica\\|page\\=331}} and young people across Yugoslavia sprayed the band's name on walls. However, a part of the press criticized the band for dedicating most of their attention to their appearance and not making any efforts to improve their musical skills and sound.{{cite book\\|last1\\=Fajfrić\\|first1\\=Željko\\|last2\\=Nenad\\|first2\\=Milan\\|title\\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\\.\\|year\\=2009\\|publisher\\=Tabernakl\\|location\\=Sremska Mitrovica\\|page\\=320}}",
"Encouraged by the success in Yugoslavia, the band decided to try to break into the foreign market, for months they performing in [Austria](/wiki/Austria \"Austria\") and [West Germany](/wiki/West_Germany \"West Germany\"). In Vienna they performed in the clubs Chattanooga and Star Club. The Austrian newspaper *[Kurier](/wiki/Kurier \"Kurier\")* wrote about their performances describing them as \"descendants of [hajduks](/wiki/Hajduk \"Hajduk\") who fought against the [Turks](/wiki/Turkish_people \"Turkish people\")\". However, the guitarist Dragi Jelić left the band and joined [Džentlmeni](/wiki/D%C5%BEentlmeni \"Džentlmeni\") (later forming highly successful [YU Grupa](/wiki/YU_Grupa \"YU Grupa\") with his brother [Žika Jelić](/wiki/%C5%BDika_Jeli%C4%87 \"Žika Jelić\")). Jelić was replaced by a former Džentlmeni member Slobodan Todorović. During one of their absences from Yugoslavia some Yugoslav newspapers published the rumor that Siluete performed at a graveyard in [Nuremberg](/wiki/Nuremberg \"Nuremberg\").",
"After their efforts to gain success abroad failed, the band decided to dedicate themselves to their status on the Yugoslav scene. They organized a comeback concert in Belgrade Youth Center, which featured [Džentlmeni](/wiki/D%C5%BEentlmeni \"Džentlmeni\") as the opening band and a guest appearance by the [jazz ballet](/wiki/Jazz_dance \"Jazz dance\") group Džezabal (*Jazzabelle*).{{cite book\\|last1\\=Fajfrić\\|first1\\=Željko\\|last2\\=Nenad\\|first2\\=Milan\\|title\\= Istorija YU rock muzike od početaka do 1970\\.\\|year\\=2009\\|publisher\\=Tabernakl\\|location\\=Sremska Mitrovica\\|page\\=326}} The press praised the performance and the fact the band started dedicating more attention to their musicianship. After the concert the band went on a Yugoslav tour during which they performed 120 concerts, on which debuted new guitarist Ljubomir Sedlar, formerly of the band Vizije (*The Visions*). A part of the tour was a twenty\\-three\\-hour concert held on New Year's Eve in Belgrade Youth Center. In January 1968, at their concert in [Sarajevo](/wiki/Sarajevo \"Sarajevo\"), a riot broke out. A large number of chairs was broken, Miščević's shirt was ripped off and his gold necklace was split, Ljuba Đorđević was hit on the head with a bottle and their manager's wallet was stolen. At the Siluete concert in [Novi Sad](/wiki/Novi_Sad \"Novi Sad\") the band members broke their guitars, got in a fight with the audience and the band's van was by damaged by the mob. The band spent the summer of 1968 performing in Belgrade, playing four times a week in the Rade Končar School yard.",
"In 1969 Dunjić left the band and moved to London. He was replaced by bass guitarist and painter Aleksandar Cvetković. After releasing the single with the songs \"Sećanje na Keti\" (\"Memory of Cathy\") and \"Dosadan dan\" (\"Boring Day\"), they started performing in clubs all over Europe, once again trying to secure a contract with a foreign record label, but after failing to do so they split\\-up. The members of the band returned to Yugoslavia, Cvetković joining the band CD, with only Miščević staying in West Germany. He spent two more years there, performing with an Italian band. After returning to Yugoslavia in 1973 he performed with various bands, including the band Formula Ljubavi (*Formula of Love*) from [Inđija](/wiki/In%C4%91ija \"Inđija\"), making an appearance on their 1973 [7\" single](/wiki/7%22_single \"7\") \"Banane\" / \"Reka suza\" (\"Bananas\" / \"River of Tears\"), before he decided to retire from the scene.",

Plot
----
For decades, Vaillante, run by the Vaillant family, has had a long history of success in various motor racing disciplines. Their most famous driver is Michel Vaillant, son of the team's founder and owner, Henri, and younger brother of the team's manager, Jean\-Pierre. One night, Michel's mother Élisabeth has a nightmare of her son's death in an accident at the [24 Hours of Le Mans](/wiki/24_Hours_of_Le_Mans "24 Hours of Le Mans") involving a car bearing the number 13 operated by Leader, a team with which Vaillante had a historic rivalry for more than a quarter of a century. Henri comforts her, assuring that the Vaillante team is not planning to race at Le Mans, that Leader has quit racing for 5 years, and that no one will bother using the number 13 at the race.
Meanwhile, in [Canada](/wiki/Canada "Canada"), Michel and his best friend and teammate, Steve Warson, are both competing in a [WRC](/wiki/World_Rally_Championship "World Rally Championship") race. Michel wins the race, which spikes the wrath of Bob Cramer, a ruthless rival driver who was blocked by him during the race. Cramer confronts Michel's co\-pilot, David Wood, over the matter. A few days later, Henri announces that the Vaillante team has purchased engines for the upcoming 24 Hours of Le Mans, and that Wood has been promoted to the driver's seat, promising him a seat at Michel's Le Mans car if he does well in the Rally of [Italy](/wiki/Italy "Italy"). During the race in Italy, Cramer forces Wood off the road. Wood's car crashes violently, and he dies after getting caught in the resulting explosion.
At the funeral for David Wood, Michel meets Julie, Wood's wife, who asks him a favor. Michel then convinces his brother to let Julie join the team so she can take her late husband's place. Meanwhile, the Leader team, now under the management of Ruth, the team founder's daughter, returns to racing. They announce that they will race at Le Mans with the number 13, hiring Bob Cramer as one of their drivers. Élisabeth starts to worry that her nightmare may soon become a reality, and unsuccessfully pleads with Henri to withdraw from Le Mans.
At the weekend before the Le Mans race, Ruth, determined to rid the race of Vaillante, has her henchmen tamper with the Vaillante car delivery. Both Vaillante cars are forced to speed through the streets to Le Mans, and they barely make it in time to compete. Infuriated, Ruth decides to kidnap Henri, planning to blackmail Vaillante into losing the race if they wish to have her spare Henri. Michel initially complies, losing a lot of time each lap, but later tells his brother about Ruth's plot to kill their father. Michel is cleared to go out to save his father after having Julie pose as him during the race.
While trying to track his father's location through the GPS in Ruth's car, Michel is caught by Ruth, who gets him to drive the \#13 Leader car, posing as Cramer after an accident puts him out of the race. The \#10 Vaillante car and the \#13 Leader car eventually meet each other on the track and end up colliding violently, just like in Élisabeth's nightmare. Both drivers, revealed to be really Julie and Michel, come out of the wreckage unharmed. Julie and Michel proceed to go with Warson to leave the race and save Henri.
The three manage to go back to the race, but unfortunately, Warson sustains a gunshot wound while fleeing from Ruth's henchmen after rescuing Henri. Michel decides to replace Warson during a pitstop for the \#8 Vaillante car, posing as him for the remainder of the race. In the final lap of the race, when it looks like the \#22 Leader car is about to win the race, the Vaillante car gets a flat tire. Meanwhile, the Leader car suddenly starts to slow down due to an engine failure, eventually stopping a few metres before the finish line.
The Vaillante car eventually arrives at the final stretch as the Leader car is being pushed toward the finish line by its driver, before proceeding to cross the finish line first, beating the Leader car by a close call. The Vaillante team go on to celebrate their most recent victory, while Ruth stares blankly in defeat.

Mutiny

{{refimprove\|section\|date\=May 2021}}
On 16 June 2011, while the ship was in the [Chilean Sea](/wiki/Chilean_Sea "Chilean Sea"), Liu led a group of 11 crewmen to hijack the ship. They forced their way into the captain's cabin and beat Li with a stick. Chief Cook Xia Qiyong heard the disturbance and rushed to Li's cabin with a kitchen knife, and was killed by the mutineers. The crew did not believe that there would be another killing and decided to claim that Xia had fallen into the sea by himself.
The mutineers forced Li to sail back to China, keeping him under watch. Concerned about further interference and acts of revenge for Xia's killing, they disabled the ship's communications and locked all knives, lifeboats and life jackets. Several weeks passed quietly: the ship rounded [Hawaii](/wiki/Hawaii "Hawaii") and was a couple weeks from China. Liu was then informed that the ship was consuming fuel at an abnormally high rate and that the auxiliary engines had failed. Crewman Bo Fujin told Liu that Chief Engineer Wen Dou and others who were personally close to Li were planning a revolt, and asked Liu to spare them.
On 20 July 2011, Liu ordered the mutineers to kill all the crewmen who he believed were trying to revolt. Under the cover of loud music, they killed nine men, stabbing them on the ship's deck and throwing their bodies into the sea. The victims included Bo, as Liu was uncertain of his loyalty. Liu personally killed the [second mate](/wiki/Second_mate "Second mate"), and made certain that each of the mutineers had taken part in a murder.
Liu decided not to return to China. He told the mutineers that they would instead illegally immigrate to Japan. To facilitate this, Liu forced some of the crew to call their families by satellite phone to transfer money.{{cite news \|title\=Mutiny and Murder on a Chinese Squid Ship \|work\=Sixth Tone \|first\=Kevin \|last\=Schoenmakers \|date\=11 February 2018 \|url\=https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1001703/mutiny\-and\-murder\-on\-a\-chinese\-squid\-ship }} He said that the other crew members could return to China, and that he did not care if they testified against him. Nonetheless, there was great unease and suspicion following the mass killing. The following day, crewman Ma Yuchao was missing, and was believed to have jumped into the sea due to the atmosphere of terror.
Baodegejirihu, the leader of a close group of six mutineers who were from Inner Mongolia, felt that the killings would continue and that only those closest to Liu would be spared. He planned to revolt against Liu, but Liu learned of this. Liu convinced Li to join the mutineers and to avenge his murdered friends by killing Baodegejirihu. On 24 July 2011, while the ship was {{convert\|1600\|km\|abbr\=on}} from Japan, Liu tricked Baodegejirihu to come to the deck where Baodegejirihu was killed by Li and Cui Yong, another crew member who had joined the mutineers. Baodegejirihu shouted for help but none of his allies responded. That night, Baodegejirihu's five men were systematically murdered.
Following this, there were eleven crew alive on the ship, each of whom had killed. Liu told them to blame the killings on Baodegejirihu and his men, and to say that the killers escaped with a lifeboat. To ensure their cooperation, Liu threatened harm to their families, whose addresses he had obtained from the ship's records.
In August, a [Japan Coast Guard](/wiki/Japan_Coast_Guard "Japan Coast Guard") boat assisted Lurongyu 2682 with problems becoming [underway](/wiki/Underway "Underway"). Suspicious about the small crew on Lurongyu, the Japan Coast Guard contacted the [China Coast Guard](/wiki/China_Coast_Guard "China Coast Guard").

The presence of a water spring known locally as 'The Source' behind the southern wall of the old church, is believed to be the reason why humans first settled in the area where present\-day Bonchurch is located. A prehistoric race lived in the area around the Undercliff, land which was wild forest. Evidence has also been found showing that the people that lived during the [Stone Age](/wiki/Stone_Age "Stone Age") had lived near to the water spring. Five burial mounds have been discovered at [St. Boniface Down](/wiki/St._Boniface_Down "St. Boniface Down"). Evidence has also been discovered showing that the Romans established a settlement in the area.
The Saxon [patron saint](/wiki/Patron_saint "Patron saint"), [St. Boniface](/wiki/St._Boniface "St. Boniface"), is believed to have visited the Isle of Wight, and possibly the area where Bonchurch is now located, in the 8th century. Legend states that monks from [Lyra](/wiki/Lier%2C_Belgium "Lier, Belgium") in [Normandy](/wiki/Normandy "Normandy") landed at [Monks Bay](/wiki/Monks_Bay "Monks Bay"), and erected a building in dedication to St. Boniface. This building could be the wooden building which is believed to have existed in the 9th century where the Old Church now stands.
The first documented proof of the existence of Bonchurch is found in the [Domesday Book](/wiki/Domesday_Book "Domesday Book").Brett, *Bonchurch*, 1\. In the Domesday Book, the settlement was called Bonecerce. 'Cerce' is Anglo\-Saxon for 'church', whilst 'Bone' is presumed to have been derived from St. Boniface.
Bonchurch has two churches.Goodwin, *Bonchurch from A\-Z*, 8\. The oldest one is called the Old Church. The Domesday Book recorded its existence. See [Old St. Boniface Church, Bonchurch](/wiki/Old_St._Boniface_Church%2C_Bonchurch "Old St. Boniface Church, Bonchurch") and the Parish church, [St. Boniface Church, Bonchurch](/wiki/St._Boniface_Church%2C_Bonchurch "St. Boniface Church, Bonchurch").
In July 1545, the [Battle of Bonchurch](/wiki/Battle_of_Bonchurch "Battle of Bonchurch") was fought. 500 French soldiers had landed at the coast near Bonchurch, one of three landings that took place on the coastline of the Isle of Wight by French soldiers.Goodwin, *Bonchurch from A\-Z*, 7\. 300 Isle of Wight militiamen engaged the French forces, and the militiamen won the engagement. Some accounts state that local women participated in the battle by shooting arrows at the French soldiers. The victory is considered to have decisively stopped the [French invasion of the Isle of Wight](/wiki/French_invasion_of_the_Isle_of_Wight_%281545%29 "French invasion of the Isle of Wight (1545)").
Soon after the battle, a number of men from the French fleet which had retreated from the [Solent](/wiki/Solent "Solent") after the [Battle of the Solent](/wiki/Battle_of_the_Solent "Battle of the Solent") landed on the coast near Bonchurch. The men were engaged in a military action by English soldiers whilst they were on a mission to collect fresh water on the island. A French senior officer, [Chevalier D'Aux](/wiki/Chevalier_D%27Aux "Chevalier D'Aux"), was killed. His body was buried in Bonchurch, but was exhumed and taken back to France in 1548 after the war between England and France had ceased.
In the late 1830s and onward, the hitherto rural Bonchurch was developed for private villas, following land acquisition and sale by the Reverend James White.{{cn\|date\=July 2023}} White married Rosa Hill, heiress to [Bonchurch Manor](/wiki/Bonchurch_Manor "Bonchurch Manor"), and subsequently obtained a [private local Act of Parliament](/wiki/Local_and_Personal_Acts_of_Parliament_in_the_United_Kingdom "Local and Personal Acts of Parliament in the United Kingdom") to overturn parts of his father\-in\-law's will forbidding development and breakup of the estate.*An Act to enable the Reverend James White and the Persons for the Time being entitled to certain Estates situate in the Parish of Bonchurch in the Isle of Wight in the County of Southampton, devised by the will of Charles Fitzmaurice Hill, Esquire, deceased, to grant Building Leases*, 21 June 1836 In the mid to late 19th Century, Bonchurch developed into a fashionable centre for writers and artists. Celebrated Victorians such as [Charles Dickens](/wiki/Charles_Dickens "Charles Dickens"), [Thomas Carlyle](/wiki/Thomas_Carlyle "Thomas Carlyle"), and [Thomas Babington Macaulay, 1st Baron Macaulay](/wiki/Thomas_Babington_Macaulay%2C_1st_Baron_Macaulay "Thomas Babington Macaulay, 1st Baron Macaulay") came here and stayed in large villas that they rented, often for the season.
The Swinburne family residence East Dene is on the Shute running down to the Old Church; Admiral and Lady Swinburne's son, the poet [Algernon Charles Swinburne](/wiki/Algernon_Charles_Swinburne "Algernon Charles Swinburne") spent part of his boyhood in Bonchurch, at East Dene, and was buried in 1909 at the Parish New Church, his grave being the subject of a poem by [Thomas Hardy](/wiki/Thomas_Hardy "Thomas Hardy"). His funeral, attended by crowds of people, aroused controversy as Algernon Swinburne was an atheist and his friends attempted to disrupt the funeral believing it should have no religious content.{{Cite web\|url\=http://swinburnearchive.indiana.edu/swinburne/view\#docId\=swinburne/acs0000504\-01\.xml\|title\=The Algernon Charles Swinburne Project}}

Legal framework
---------------
### Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990
{{main\|Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990}}
The 1990 Act provided for the establishment of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), an executive, non\-departmental public body, the first statutory body of its type in the world.
The HFEA is the independent regulator for IVF treatment and human embryo research and came into effect on 1 August 1991\. The 1990 Act ensured the regulation, through licensing, of:
* the creation of human embryos outside the body and their use in treatment and research
* the use of donated gametes and embryos
* the storage of gametes and embryos.
The Act also requires the HFEA keep a database of every IVF treatment carried out since that date and a database relating to all cycles and use of donated [gametes](/wiki/Gametes "Gametes") (egg and sperm).
### Cloning
{{main\|Human Reproductive Cloning Act 2001}}
In 2001, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology (Research Purposes) Regulations 2001/188 extended the purposes for which embryo research could be licensed to include "increasing knowledge about the development of embryos", "increasing knowledge about serious disease", and "enabling any such knowledge to be applied in developing treatments for serious disease".
This allows researchers to carry out embryonic stem cell research and therapeutic cloning providing that an HFEA Licence Committee considers the use of embryos necessary or desirable for one of these purposes of research.
The Human Reproductive Cloning Act 2001 was introduced to explicitly prohibit reproductive cloning in the UK, but it was repealed by the [Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008](/wiki/Human_Fertilisation_and_Embryology_Act_2008 "Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008").
### Donor anonymity
In 2004, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (Disclosure of Donor Information) Regulations 2004/1511, enabled donor\-conceived children to access the identity of their sperm, egg or embryo donor upon reaching the age of 18\.
The Regulations were implemented on 1 April 2005 and any donor who donated sperm, eggs or embryos from that date onwards is, by law, identifiable. Since that date, any person born as a result of donation is entitled to request and receive the donor's name and last known address, once they reach the age of 18\.
### European Union Tissues and Cells Directive
The European Union Tissues and Cells Directives (EUTCD) introduced common safety and quality standards for human tissues and cells across the European Union (EU).
The purpose of the directives was to facilitate a safer and easier exchange of tissues and cells (including human eggs and sperm) between member states and to improve safety standards for European citizens.
The EUTCD was adopted by the Council of Ministers on 2 March 2004 and published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 7 April 2004\. Member States were obliged to comply with its provisions from 7 April 2006\.
### Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008
{{main\|Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008}}
In 2005, the House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee published a report on Human Reproductive Technologies and the Law.
This inquiry investigated the legislative framework provided by the 1990 Act and challenges presented by technological advance and "recent changes in ethical and societal attitudes".
In light of the Committee's report, and legislative changes that had already been made, the Department of Health undertook a review of the 1990 Act. They then held a public consultation based on their review of the Act, and following this published a White Paper, Review of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act, within which Government presented its initial proposals to revise the legislation.
A Joint Committee of both houses scrutinised the Government's recommendations, and provided its views on what ought to be the final form of the Bill to be brought to parliament.
The Bill was finally brought to the House of Lords in November 2007, passing through the House of Commons through Spring and Autumn of 2008, and finally receiving Royal Assent on 13 November 2008\.
The HFE Act 2008 updates the law to ensure it is fit for purpose in the 21st century. It is divided into three parts:
1. amendments to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990
2. parenthood
3. miscellaneous and general.
The main new elements of the Act are:
* ensuring that the creation and use of all human embryos outside the body – whatever the process used in their creation – are subject to regulation
* a ban on selecting the sex of offspring for social reasons
* continuing to require that clinics take account of "the welfare of the child" when providing fertility treatment, and replacing the previous requirement that they also take account of the child's "need for a father" with "supportive parenting"
* allowing for the recognition of both partners in a same\-sex relationship as legal parents of children conceived through the use of donated sperm, eggs or embryos
* enabling people in same sex relationships and unmarried couples to apply for an order allowing for them to be treated as the parents of a child born using a surrogate
* changing restrictions on the use of data collected by the HFEA to make it easier to conduct research using this information
* provisions clarifying the scope of legitimate embryo research activities, including regulation of "human admixed embryos" (embryos combining both human and animal material).

History
-------
### Background
[thumb\|right\|320px\|Location of [Bristol County](/wiki/Bristol_County%2C_Massachusetts "Bristol County, Massachusetts"), where the port city of New Bedford is located.](/wiki/File:New_Bedford_ma_highlight.png "New Bedford ma highlight.png")
During the 19th Century the coastal city of [New Bedford](/wiki/New_Bedford%2C_Massachusetts "New Bedford, Massachusetts"), [Massachusetts](/wiki/Massachusetts "Massachusetts"), emerged as the largest [whaling](/wiki/Whaling "Whaling") port in the world.Daniel Georgianna with Roberta Hazen Aaronson, *The Strike of '28\.* New Bedford, MA: Spinner Publications, 1993; pg. 12\. Some 10,000 seamen shipped from New Bedford to kill and process [whales](/wiki/Whale "Whale") into oil for lighting and machine lubricants and bone for use in [corsets](/wiki/Corset "Corset"). The life was difficult and hard for whaling ship crews but lucrative for shipbuilders, shipowners, and merchants, and the local economy prospered.
The situation began to change in the years after the [American Civil War](/wiki/American_Civil_War "American Civil War"), however, with the profitability of whaling falling dramatically with the discovery and widespread manufacture of [kerosene](/wiki/Kerosene "Kerosene") for fuel and [petroleum](/wiki/Petroleum "Petroleum")\-based [machine oil](/wiki/Machine_oil "Machine oil") for use as a lubricant.Georgianna and Aaronson, *The Strike of '28,* pg. 13\. An increased emphasis began being placed on obtaining [baleen](/wiki/Baleen "Baleen") for corsets, which mandated trips to Arctic waters where baleen whales proliferated. This would end catastrophically in the winter of 1871, when an early return of ice on the ocean trapped and annihilated the entire Arctic fleet, including 32 ships based in New Bedford. A second, smaller catastrophe followed in 1876, resulting in the loss of 12 more ships. By the end of the 1870s prosperous shipbuilders and merchants were looking to leave the dying and unprofitable whaling industry in favor of new forms of capital investment.
Other cities throughout the [Northeastern region](/wiki/Northeastern_United_States "Northeastern United States") during the second half of the 19th Century based their local economies upon textile manufacturing, with some 600 mills being scattered across the region by the start of the 1860s.Georgianna and Aaronson, *The Strike of '28,* pg. 19\. Other lower cost mills dotted the [American South](/wiki/Southern_United_States "Southern United States"), staffed by a labor force willing to accept lesser wages in the wake of a collapsed post\-war economy. These mills specialized in low cost, easily produced cotton goods of middling quality, leaving an opening in the marketplace for finely produced cotton textiles.Georgianna and Aaronson, *The Strike of '28,* pp. 19\-20\. It was to the manufacture of these finer milled goods that New Bedford investors turned when the local economy pivoted from the manufacture of whale oil to fabrics.Georgianna and Aaronson, *The Strike of '28,* pg. 20\.
While the Wamsutta Mills, established in 1846, predated the turn of the local economy from whaling to textile making, between 1880 and the coming of [World War I](/wiki/World_War_I "World War I") the pioneer firm had been joined by another 32 companies, valued at a massive $100 million and employing 30,000 people.Georgianna and Aaronson, *The Strike of '28,* pg. 21\. The industry prospered and New Bedford boomed in the four decades after 1880, growing in population from 40,000 to more than 120,000\.Georgianna and Aaronson, *The Strike of '28,* pg. 22\.
Many of these new arrivals were immigrants — English, Irish, and Germans with prior experience in the milling industry, followed later by French\-Canadians, Poles, Syrians, and Portuguese (including the descendants of former slaves from the Portuguese colonies of [the Azores](/wiki/Azores "Azores") and [Cabo Verde](/wiki/Cape_Verde "Cape Verde")).Georgianna and Aaronson, *The Strike of '28,* pg. 22\. Very few [American blacks](/wiki/African-Americans "African-Americans") worked in the mills of New Bedford, with one 1900 survey counting just 25 out of a population of just over 11,000 factory workers. These workers lived in densely populated neighborhoods at the north and south of the city, with the owning and financial class living in the prosperous city center.Georgianna and Aaronson, *The Strike of '28,* pg. 24\.
### Wage cut and work stoppage
[thumb\|right\|320px\|Boy operatives in the mule room of the Wamsutta Mill in New Bedford, January 1912, as photographed by anti\-child labor activist [Lewis Hine](/wiki/Lewis_Hine "Lewis Hine") (1874\-1940\).](/wiki/File:Wamsutta-Mill-1912-Hines.jpg "Wamsutta-Mill-1912-Hines.jpg")
During the middle years of the 1920s, competitive pressure in the era of post\-[World War I](/wiki/World_War_I "World War I") [deflation](/wiki/Deflation "Deflation") kept wages of factory operatives unusually low, with the [Massachusetts Department of Labor](/wiki/Massachusetts_Department_of_Labor "Massachusetts Department of Labor") reporting average weekly wages for New Bedford textile workers of $19\.95\.Philip S. Foner, *History of the Labor Movement in the United States: Volume 10: The TUEL, 1925\-1929\.* New York: International Publishers, 1994; pg. 164\. Things deteriorated further during the first three months of 1928, with that same governmental body making note of a further weekly wage fall to just $19\.00 (\~${{Format price\|{{Inflation\|index\=US\|value\=19\|start\_year\=1928}}}} in {{Inflation/year\|US}}).
Local employers, feeling the pressure of modern factories in the low\-wage South sought further wage reductions in an effort to remain competitive.Foner, *History of the Labor Movement in the United States: Volume 10,* pg. 165\. In April 1928 united action was enacted by the New Bedford Cotton Manufacturers' Association in unilaterally slashing wages a further 10 percent across the board. This cut was met by the collective action of the New Bedford Textile Council, which approved a work stoppage slated to begin on Monday, April 16, 1928 by a vote of 2,571 to 188\.Associated Press, ["Textile Workers Strike Monday,"](https://www.newspapers.com/clip/5682614/new_bedford_textile_workers_strike/) *Fitchburg \[MA] Sentinel,* April 13, 1928, pg. 25\. The job stoppage in protest of the proposed 10 percent cut in wages to affect almost all of the 30,000 workers employed in the cotton, rayon, and woolen mills of New Bedford.
Seven [craft unions](/wiki/Craft_union "Craft union") directly represented about 8,000 of New Bedford's textile workers. These included locals of the [American Federation of Textile Operatives](/wiki/American_Federation_of_Textile_Operatives "American Federation of Textile Operatives"), an independent organization. The deteriorating wage situation spurred militance in many of these locals, however, and in April and May 1928 a move was made to join the [United Textile Workers](/wiki/United_Textile_Workers "United Textile Workers") (UTW), a larger and more potent labor organization affiliated with the [American Federation of Labor](/wiki/American_Federation_of_Labor "American Federation of Labor") (AFL).
Most of the minority of New Bedford workers who were unionized ahead of the 1928 strike were from the highly skilled trades — loom fixers, weavers, warp twisters, and the like — who were generally native\-born and English\-speaking. Those unorganized were more often than not unskilled or low skilled immigrants, forced to perform the dirtiest and most monotonous jobs and barred by union protection by the rigid craft structure of the New Bedford union movement.

Court's decision
----------------
### Justice Brennan's majority opinion
Writing for the Majority, [Justice Brennan](/wiki/William_J._Brennan_Jr. "William J. Brennan Jr.") reversed the Eighth Circuit, concluding that the requirement that the Jaycees accept women as regular members did not unduly tread on male members' freedom of association.468 U.S. at 631\. Justice Brennan first explained that there are two protected freedoms of association: Freedom of intimate association, which is a component of the [Fourteenth Amendment's](/wiki/Fourteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution "Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution") guarantee of [substantive due process](/wiki/Substantive_due_process "Substantive due process"), and freedom of expressive association, covered under the [First Amendment](/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution "First Amendment to the United States Constitution").468 U.S. at 617\-18\.
The Court concluded that the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of intimate association does not apply to the Jaycees because they are not a sufficiently intimate group.468 U.S. at 620\. The Court held that this guarantee – which protects, among other things, the right to [marriage](/wiki/Zablocki_v._Redhail "Zablocki v. Redhail"), [childbirth](/wiki/Carey_v._Population_Services_International "Carey v. Population Services International"), and [cohabitation with one's relatives](/wiki/Moore_v._City_of_East_Cleveland "Moore v. City of East Cleveland") – does not extend to the Jaycees because local chapters of the Jaycees are "large and basically unselective groups."468 U.S. at 620\-21\.
The Court next held that the First Amendment's protection of expressive association also does not apply to the Jaycees.468 U.S. at 628\-29\. The First Amendment generally protects the right to associate in an expressive context, because many individual First Amendment rights lose their meaning if they cannot be expressed by a group.468 U.S. at 622\. However, Supreme Court precedent allows the State to curtail the freedom of expression when the restriction 1\) serves compelling state interests, 2\) does not relate to the suppression of ideas, and 3\) cannot be achieved through means significantly less restrictive of associational freedoms.468 U.S. at 623\. The statute, the Court held, serves compelling state interests because Minnesota sought to regulate access to the economy, and Minnesota could include in that regulatory effort the leadership services that organizations like the Jaycees provide.468 U.S. at 626\. The Court concluded that the Minnesota Human Rights Act does not [discriminate on the basis of viewpoint](/wiki/Viewpoint_discrimination "Viewpoint discrimination"), either [facially](/wiki/Facial_challenge "Facial challenge") or [as applied](/wiki/As-applied_challenge "As-applied challenge"), meaning it does not relate to the suppression of ideas.468 U.S. at 623\-24\. The Court also found that the statute used the least restrictive means, as the Jaycees had failed to show that the Act burdens male members' freedom of association to a meaningful degree. The Jaycees argued, and the 8th Circuit agreed, that letting in women could change the group's political positions, but the Supreme Court rejected this claim, noting the lack of any evidence in the record that women would have different positions on issues than the men in the Jaycees.468 U.S. 626\-28\. The Majority said that the Jaycees, or future parties, have to make a "substantial" showing that the admission of unwelcome members would change the group's message.468 U.S. at 632\.
Finally, the Court ruled that the law was not vague or overbroad because Minnesota's Supreme Court concluded that the Act covers the Jaycees based on specific criteria like the organization's size, selectivity, commercial nature, and use of public facilities.468 U.S. at 629\.
### Justice O'Connor's partial concurrence
[Justice O'Connor](/wiki/Sandra_Day_O%27Connor "Sandra Day O'Connor") joined the Majority's opinion for Parts I (cataloguing the facts) and III (holding that the law is not vague or overbroad). Justice O'Connor also agreed that the Jaycees could not claim protection in the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of intimate association. Justice O'Connor took issue, however, with the Majority's test for when a group may permissibly exclude outsiders who it alleges will change the group's message. Justice O'Connor highlighted the perverse outcomes this rule has: If the Jaycees had historically opposed women's rights, or other causes seen as supported by women, it could exclude women more easily than a men's club that remained neutral on such topics.468 U.S. at 633\.
Justice O'Connor also faulted the Majority for failing to determine whether the Jaycees were engaged in protected First Amendment expression, or commercial activity (which receives less protection).468 U.S. at 633\-34\. Justice O'Connor would consider association commercial only where the activities are not "predominantly of the type protected by the First Amendment."468 U.S. at 635\-36\. Applying that framework to the facts, Justice O'Connor concluded that the Jaycees were a commercial association, as they call their members "customers", and refer to memberships as goods that they sell.468 U.S. at 638\-39\. Justice O'Connor admitted that the Jaycees engaged in some protected activity, but said that was not enough to shield the Jaycees from regulation.468 U.S. at 640\.
[Justice Rehnquist](/wiki/William_Rehnquist "William Rehnquist") concurred in the judgment without joining either opinion. [Justices Burger](/wiki/Warren_E._Burger "Warren E. Burger") and [Blackmun](/wiki/Harry_Blackmun "Harry Blackmun") took no part in deciding the case.468 U.S. at 611\.

Generalizations
---------------
### Generalization to polynomial trends (higher order DFA)
The standard DFA algorithm given above removes a linear trend in each segment. If we remove a degree\-n polynomial trend in each segment, it is called DFAn, or higher order DFA.{{cite journal \|last\=Kantelhardt J.W. \|display\-authors\=etal \|year\=2001 \|title\=Detecting long\-range correlations with detrended fluctuation analysis \|journal\=Physica A \|volume\=295 \|issue\=3–4 \|pages\=441–454 \|arxiv\=cond\-mat/0102214 \|bibcode\=2001PhyA..295\..441K \|doi\=10\.1016/s0378\-4371(01\)00144\-3 \|s2cid\=55151698}}
Since X\_t is a cumulative sum of x\_t\-\\langle x\\rangle , a linear trend in X\_t is a constant trend in x\_t\-\\langle x\\rangle , which is a constant trend in x\_t (visible as short sections of "flat plateaus"). In this regard, DFA1 removes the mean from segments of the time series x\_t before quantifying the fluctuation.
Similarly, a degree n trend in X\_t is a degree (n\-1\) trend in x\_t . For example, DFA1 removes linear trends from segments of the time series x\_t before quantifying the fluctuation, DFA1 removes parabolic trends from x\_t , and so on.
The Hurst [R/S analysis](/wiki/Rescaled_range "Rescaled range") removes constant trends in the original sequence and thus, in its detrending it is equivalent to DFA1\.
### Generalization to different moments (multifractal DFA)
DFA can be generalized by computingF\_q( n ) \= \\left(\\frac{1}{N/n}\\sum\_{i \= 1}^{N/n} F(n, i)^q\\right)^{1/q}.then making the log\-log plot of \\log n \- \\log F\_q(n), If there is a strong linearity in the plot of \\log n \- \\log F\_q(n), then that slope is \\alpha(q).{{cite journal \|last\=H.E. Stanley \|first\=J.W. Kantelhardt \|author2\=S.A. Zschiegner \|author3\=E. Koscielny\-Bunde \|author4\=S. Havlin \|author5\=A.

Multifractal systems scale as a function F\_q(n) \\propto n^{\\alpha(q)}. Essentially, the scaling exponents need not be independent of the scale of the system. In particular, DFA measures the scaling\-behavior of the second moment\-fluctuations.
Kantelhardt et al. intended this scaling exponent as a generalization of the classical Hurst exponent. The classical Hurst exponent corresponds to H\=\\alpha(2\) for stationary cases, and H\=\\alpha(2\)\-1 for nonstationary cases.{{cite journal \|last1\=Movahed \|first1\=M.

History

{{Unreferenced section\|date\=January 2018}}
Briarcliffe Acres was developed as a [retirement community](/wiki/Retirement_community "Retirement community") by Kenneth Ellsworth, a native of [Briarcliff Manor, New York](/wiki/Briarcliff_Manor%2C_New_York "Briarcliff Manor, New York") (from which he took the name of his project), who married Virginia (Ginny) Gasque (pronounced "gas\-kwee" or, by some, "gas\-kee"). Her family came from the nearby town of [Conway, South Carolina](/wiki/Conway%2C_South_Carolina "Conway, South Carolina"). Briarcliffe was one of the first [planned communities](/wiki/Planned_communities "Planned communities") in the [Southeast](/wiki/Southeastern_United_States "Southeastern United States").
In the early (pre\-1930\) parts of the 20th century, the coastal areas of northernmost South Carolina were used mostly as farming sites. (The real estate monolith now known as Burroughs and Chapin for decades was named "Myrtle Beach Farms".) Sea breezes washed nutrients on crops planted on sand dunes, much as now is done through roots in hydroponic gardens, and cotton and tobacco thrived; farmers from [Loris](/wiki/Loris%2C_South_Carolina "Loris, South Carolina"), [Galivants Ferry](/wiki/Galivants_Ferry%2C_South_Carolina "Galivants Ferry, South Carolina"), [Florence](/wiki/Florence%2C_South_Carolina "Florence, South Carolina") and other [Lowcountry](/wiki/South_Carolina_Lowcountry "South Carolina Lowcountry") towns bought land on the coast for practical reasons and then spent summers with their families there, rather than stay in the hellish heat and sand fleas of their main farms.
As a result, a few people subsequently built vacation homes in the first resort area, [Murrells Inlet](/wiki/Murrells_Inlet%2C_South_Carolina "Murrells Inlet, South Carolina"), and, later, erected rooming houses north in what would become Myrtle Beach. One influential example was the Patricia Court (later Patricia Inn and now Patricia Grand Resort) started in the 1930s but reaching importance in the late 1940s, built by Patricia Rousseau of [North Wilkesboro, North Carolina](/wiki/North_Wilkesboro%2C_North_Carolina "North Wilkesboro, North Carolina"). Further north still, Ken and Ginny Ellsworth recognized that the idea of living at the beach for its own sake could be expanded into a community. They found a large tract of land owned by Elizabeth Patterson, a daughter of [Simeon B. Chapin](/wiki/Simeon_B._Chapin "Simeon B. Chapin").
As soon as it was possible after acquiring the property, the Ellsworths dug a yacht basin on the adjacent [Intracoastal Waterway](/wiki/Intracoastal_Waterway "Intracoastal Waterway"), on the land side of [US Highway 17](/wiki/U.S._Route_17 "U.S. Route 17"). They built a small cottage between the highway and yacht basin so they could be close both to the wealthy people on the waterway and the potentially larger numbers of people driving down the main road from [New York](/wiki/New_York_City "New York City") to [Miami](/wiki/Miami "Miami"). (The idea of capitalizing on the highway also motivated Jack Nelson who built the El Rancho Motel, once featured in *[Life](/wiki/Life_%28magazine%29 "Life (magazine)")* Magazine, about {{convert\|10\|mi\|km\|spell\=in}} south.) Ken and Ginny cut roads, layered them with [coquina](/wiki/Coquina "Coquina") (a local mix of sand and fossilized shells), and looked for residents.
Among the first people to move in were Ginny's parents, who built a home on what is now North Gate Road, just on the edge of the brow above the drop\-down to the beach, backing up to the huge lot owned by the Lewis family (who owned the northernmost fishing pier in the area). The location on the brow—like that of Patterson's home, on the opposite end of the property—was intended to provide both easy access to the shore and protection from storms (a plan that has worked until the present day).
Next came the Sorry (pronounced "Sow\-ree"; rhymes with "Horry", as in the county) family, who built next to the Gasques. They were followed by the Dutch van Buren family (distant descendants of the [American President](/wiki/Martin_Van_Buren "Martin Van Buren")), who discovered the place by anchoring one night in the yacht basin on a trip south and then visiting the land, deciding to build a home and retire, which proved the wisdom of Ken Ellsworth's original scheme.
The van Burens told another Dutch family — Anton Frederik and Casperina Hermina Groeneveld Baarslag, friends of theirs from [New York](/wiki/New_York_%28state%29 "New York (state)") and [Vermont](/wiki/Vermont "Vermont") — about the place, who visited and then moved down in 1950\.
In 1951 Alfred Colby Hockings and his wife — he was a well\-known illustrator for *[Field \& Stream](/wiki/Field_%26_Stream "Field & Stream")* magazine, originally from [Wisconsin](/wiki/Wisconsin "Wisconsin") but most recently living in the artists' community of [Tryon, North Carolina](/wiki/Tryon%2C_North_Carolina "Tryon, North Carolina") — built a home up the street from the Gasques and Sorrys and across from the Baarslags; at almost the same time another Dutch family — Gerbrand and Nellie Poster, the son\-in\-law and daughter of the Baarslags — came down from New York City to visit her parents for Christmas, decided to stay, and built a home next door to her parents. (Poster was later to found Coastal Federal Savings and Loan Association and use connections developed during his military service as a Dutch national in the US Army during [World War II](/wiki/World_War_II "World War II") to help convince the US government to declare that the damage done by [Hurricane Hazel](/wiki/Hurricane_Hazel "Hurricane Hazel") in 1954 should be covered by insurance. This made possible the second renaissance of the community, the first having been its emergence from the [Great Depression](/wiki/Great_Depression "Great Depression").)
At this time, all the homes in Briarcliffe—except for the van Burens, who lived across the road from the central lake, and Elizabeth Patterson, whose home was on what is now Middle Gate Road—were clustered along what is now North Gate Road. Two developments, one small and one huge, changed Briarcliffe in ways that remain to this day.
The first was the Poster family itself, which when moving in included a seven\-year\-old and a four\-year\-old and who were soon joined by a newborn. This changed the tenor of Briarcliffe by moving it from a retirement community to a third (less\-expensive) alternative to the Pine Lakes and Dunes sections, all of which offered a place to rear a family close to, but not in, the increasing tawdriness of Myrtle Beach itself.
The second was the financial impact of the government's intervention with the insurance companies after Hurricane Hazel. The companies had wanted to declare the damage "high water", which was not covered; Poster convinced the authorities that the damage had been caused by "wind\-driven water", which was covered. This changed the whole of Myrtle Beach, as payment of claims allowed small rooming houses to be replaced by motels. This impacted the whole of coastal South Carolina, including Briarcliffe.
At the same time, the United States Air Force had decided to deal with the [Myrtle Beach Air Force Base](/wiki/Myrtle_Beach_Air_Force_Base "Myrtle Beach Air Force Base") by treating it as a sort of reward to which people could be assigned if they deserved a vacation, or a punishment for those whose careers were at an end.
Many people in both groups chose Briarcliffe as a place in which to build or buy, ranging from Air Force heroes (such as [Col. Francis \["Gabby"] Gabreski](/wiki/Gabby_Gabreski "Gabby Gabreski"), the first pilot to be an "ace" in two wars) to investors, artists and simple families. The boom in Myrtle Beach led to a boom in Briarcliffe, and soon a community once associated with raccoons and deer became a residential destination.
Among the significant people in this new wave must be remembered Rolf Bierens, another Dutchman who—having retired from [General Motors](/wiki/General_Motors "General Motors") thanks to his involvement in the design of their [automatic transmission](/wiki/Automatic_transmission "Automatic transmission")—first built his home with his own hands and then the first [cabana](/wiki/Cabana_%28structure%29 "Cabana (structure)"). Increasingly, other residents brought histories, such as the then\-industrialist Krampf, button\-manufacturer Schwanda and developer Passow.
Briarcliffe Acres is still a place of lakes, pine and scrub\-oak forests and wild animals. Although the surrounding [Grand Strand](/wiki/Grand_Strand "Grand Strand") area has changed and been developed, Briarcliffe Acres remains much like it was in the 1960s.

"History\n-------",
"{{Unreferenced section\\|date\\=January 2018}}",
"Briarcliffe Acres was developed as a [retirement community](/wiki/Retirement_community \"Retirement community\") by Kenneth Ellsworth, a native of [Briarcliff Manor, New York](/wiki/Briarcliff_Manor%2C_New_York \"Briarcliff Manor, New York\") (from which he took the name of his project), who married Virginia (Ginny) Gasque (pronounced \"gas\\-kwee\" or, by some, \"gas\\-kee\"). Her family came from the nearby town of [Conway, South Carolina](/wiki/Conway%2C_South_Carolina \"Conway, South Carolina\"). Briarcliffe was one of the first [planned communities](/wiki/Planned_communities \"Planned communities\") in the [Southeast](/wiki/Southeastern_United_States \"Southeastern United States\").",
"In the early (pre\\-1930\\) parts of the 20th century, the coastal areas of northernmost South Carolina were used mostly as farming sites. (The real estate monolith now known as Burroughs and Chapin for decades was named \"Myrtle Beach Farms\".) Sea breezes washed nutrients on crops planted on sand dunes, much as now is done through roots in hydroponic gardens, and cotton and tobacco thrived; farmers from [Loris](/wiki/Loris%2C_South_Carolina \"Loris, South Carolina\"), [Galivants Ferry](/wiki/Galivants_Ferry%2C_South_Carolina \"Galivants Ferry, South Carolina\"), [Florence](/wiki/Florence%2C_South_Carolina \"Florence, South Carolina\") and other [Lowcountry](/wiki/South_Carolina_Lowcountry \"South Carolina Lowcountry\") towns bought land on the coast for practical reasons and then spent summers with their families there, rather than stay in the hellish heat and sand fleas of their main farms.",
"As a result, a few people subsequently built vacation homes in the first resort area, [Murrells Inlet](/wiki/Murrells_Inlet%2C_South_Carolina \"Murrells Inlet, South Carolina\"), and, later, erected rooming houses north in what would become Myrtle Beach. One influential example was the Patricia Court (later Patricia Inn and now Patricia Grand Resort) started in the 1930s but reaching importance in the late 1940s, built by Patricia Rousseau of [North Wilkesboro, North Carolina](/wiki/North_Wilkesboro%2C_North_Carolina \"North Wilkesboro, North Carolina\"). Further north still, Ken and Ginny Ellsworth recognized that the idea of living at the beach for its own sake could be expanded into a community. They found a large tract of land owned by Elizabeth Patterson, a daughter of [Simeon B. Chapin](/wiki/Simeon_B._Chapin \"Simeon B. Chapin\").",
"As soon as it was possible after acquiring the property, the Ellsworths dug a yacht basin on the adjacent [Intracoastal Waterway](/wiki/Intracoastal_Waterway \"Intracoastal Waterway\"), on the land side of [US Highway 17](/wiki/U.S._Route_17 \"U.S. Route 17\"). They built a small cottage between the highway and yacht basin so they could be close both to the wealthy people on the waterway and the potentially larger numbers of people driving down the main road from [New York](/wiki/New_York_City \"New York City\") to [Miami](/wiki/Miami \"Miami\"). (The idea of capitalizing on the highway also motivated Jack Nelson who built the El Rancho Motel, once featured in *[Life](/wiki/Life_%28magazine%29 \"Life (magazine)\")* Magazine, about {{convert\\|10\\|mi\\|km\\|spell\\=in}} south.) Ken and Ginny cut roads, layered them with [coquina](/wiki/Coquina \"Coquina\") (a local mix of sand and fossilized shells), and looked for residents.",
"Among the first people to move in were Ginny's parents, who built a home on what is now North Gate Road, just on the edge of the brow above the drop\\-down to the beach, backing up to the huge lot owned by the Lewis family (who owned the northernmost fishing pier in the area). The location on the brow—like that of Patterson's home, on the opposite end of the property—was intended to provide both easy access to the shore and protection from storms (a plan that has worked until the present day).",
"Next came the Sorry (pronounced \"Sow\\-ree\"; rhymes with \"Horry\", as in the county) family, who built next to the Gasques. They were followed by the Dutch van Buren family (distant descendants of the [American President](/wiki/Martin_Van_Buren \"Martin Van Buren\")), who discovered the place by anchoring one night in the yacht basin on a trip south and then visiting the land, deciding to build a home and retire, which proved the wisdom of Ken Ellsworth's original scheme.",
"The van Burens told another Dutch family — Anton Frederik and Casperina Hermina Groeneveld Baarslag, friends of theirs from [New York](/wiki/New_York_%28state%29 \"New York (state)\") and [Vermont](/wiki/Vermont \"Vermont\") — about the place, who visited and then moved down in 1950\\.",
"In 1951 Alfred Colby Hockings and his wife — he was a well\\-known illustrator for *[Field \\& Stream](/wiki/Field_%26_Stream \"Field & Stream\")* magazine, originally from [Wisconsin](/wiki/Wisconsin \"Wisconsin\") but most recently living in the artists' community of [Tryon, North Carolina](/wiki/Tryon%2C_North_Carolina \"Tryon, North Carolina\") — built a home up the street from the Gasques and Sorrys and across from the Baarslags; at almost the same time another Dutch family — Gerbrand and Nellie Poster, the son\\-in\\-law and daughter of the Baarslags — came down from New York City to visit her parents for Christmas, decided to stay, and built a home next door to her parents. (Poster was later to found Coastal Federal Savings and Loan Association and use connections developed during his military service as a Dutch national in the US Army during [World War II](/wiki/World_War_II \"World War II\") to help convince the US government to declare that the damage done by [Hurricane Hazel](/wiki/Hurricane_Hazel \"Hurricane Hazel\") in 1954 should be covered by insurance. This made possible the second renaissance of the community, the first having been its emergence from the [Great Depression](/wiki/Great_Depression \"Great Depression\").)",

Literary career
---------------
Bach's first book, the autobiographical *Stranger to the Ground* (1963\) described his Air National Guard unit's deployment to France. It was received favorably by Edmund Fuller in *[The Wall Street Journal](/wiki/The_Wall_Street_Journal "The Wall Street Journal")*.
1970's *[Jonathan Livingston Seagull](/wiki/Jonathan_Livingston_Seagull "Jonathan Livingston Seagull")*, a story about a seagull who flew for the love of flying rather than merely to catch food, was released by [Macmillan Publishers](/wiki/Macmillan_Publishers "Macmillan Publishers") after the manuscript was turned down by several others. It had first been published in *Soaring*, the magazine of the Soaring Society of America. The book, which included photos of seagulls in flight by photographer Russell Munson, became a number\-one [bestseller](/wiki/Bestseller "Bestseller"). Containing fewer than 10,000 words, the book sold more than one million copies in 1972 alone.["Jonathan Livingston Seagull"](http://www3.isrl.uiuc.edu/~unsworth/courses/bestsellers/search.cgi?title=Jonathan+Livingston+Seagull). {{webarchive\|url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20060426205845/http://www3\.isrl.uiuc.edu/\~unsworth/courses/bestsellers/search.cgi?title\=Jonathan\+Livingston\+Seagull \|date\=2006\-04\-26 }} *20th\-Century American Bestsellers*.

Bach then filed a lawsuit against producer/director [Hall Bartlett](/wiki/Hall_Bartlett "Hall Bartlett"), alleging that Bartlett had destroyed Bach's screenplay for the film and that Bartlett had violated a clause in Bach's contract which stated that the film could not be released in theaters without Bach's approval.["'Seagull' Author Sues".

The lawsuit ended with the film being released in theaters with some changes made to the final cut, while Bach had his name removed from the film's screenwriting credits.["Jonathan Livingston Seagull (1973\) \| Via Vision Entertainment \- info relayed by Leslie Parrish for the Blu\-ray commentary track".](https://viavision.com.au/shop/jonathan-livingston-seagull-1973/)
In 1975, Bach was the driving force behind *[Nothing by Chance](/wiki/Nothing_by_Chance_%28film%29 "Nothing by Chance (film)")*, a documentary film based on his book of the same name.

"Literary career\n---------------",
"Bach's first book, the autobiographical *Stranger to the Ground* (1963\\) described his Air National Guard unit's deployment to France. It was received favorably by Edmund Fuller in *[The Wall Street Journal](/wiki/The_Wall_Street_Journal \"The Wall Street Journal\")*.",
"1970's *[Jonathan Livingston Seagull](/wiki/Jonathan_Livingston_Seagull \"Jonathan Livingston Seagull\")*, a story about a seagull who flew for the love of flying rather than merely to catch food, was released by [Macmillan Publishers](/wiki/Macmillan_Publishers \"Macmillan Publishers\") after the manuscript was turned down by several others.

History
-------
There have been three series of the Cosmograph Daytona. Prior to the release of the "Daytona", Rolex produced chronographs using movements sourced from outside manufacturers housed in conventional and, starting in the 1940s, Oyster cases.{{cite web \|url\=https://www.watchtime.com/featured/tracking\-the\-rolex\-daytona\-a\-53\-year\-history/ \|title\=Tracking the Rolex Daytona: A 55\-Year History \|date\=June 28, 2018 \|work\=WatchTime \|accessdate\=13 September 2018}} Rolex introduced a more modern chronograph in 1955, designated Reference 6234, and manufactured approximately 500 per year until 1961, the year it was discontinued. The dial of Reference 6234 was not marked "Cosmograph" or "Daytona". The Reference (model) number is marked on the side of the case at the 12 o'clock position, where it is hidden under the strap lugs.{{cite web \|url\=https://www.bobswatches.com/rolex\-serial\-numbers \|title\=Rolex Serial Numbers \|website\=Bob's Watches \|accessdate\=13 September 2018}} Each Rolex Daytona watch has a unique serial number, which is typically a 4\-8 digit number engraved between the lugs on the 6 o'clock side of the case, behind the bracelet. The serial number can provide valuable information about the watch, including its production date. For instance, a Rolex watch with a serial number starting with 28000 was produced in 1926\. Reference 6234 has three smaller sub\-dials, to mark the passage of seconds up to 60 seconds (at the 9 o'clock position), minutes up to 30 minutes (at the 3 o'clock position), and hours up to 12 hours (at the 6 o'clock position); all of these match the color of the main dial. It also featured a tachymeter scale on the outer chapter ring, and a [telemeter chronograph](/wiki/Telemeter_chronograph "Telemeter chronograph") scale on the inner chapter ring.{{cite web \|url\=https://www.timeandwatches.com/p/history\-of\-rolex\-cosmograph\-daytona.html \|title\=The Rolex Daytona History \|author\=Mazzardo, Alessandro \|date\=January 2, 2014 \|website\=Time and Watches \|accessdate\=13 September 2018}} Reference 6234 was succeeded by Reference 6238, which dropped the telemeter scale and updated its appearance to include many features that would be adopted for its successor Reference 6239\.
Rolex became the official timekeeper of the [Daytona International Speedway](/wiki/Daytona_International_Speedway "Daytona International Speedway") in 1962, and to mark the occasion, Reference 6234 was replaced with Cosmograph Reference 6239, introduced in 1963 as the first chronograph from Rolex nicknamed "Daytona". However, the original Reference 6239 did not include "Daytona" on the dial (and was in fact nicknamed "Le Mans" for the famous [24 Hours of Le Mans](/wiki/24_Hours_of_Le_Mans "24 Hours of Le Mans") race).{{cite web \|url\=https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the\-first\-rolex\-daytona\-by\-benjamin\-clymer \|title\=Historical Perspectives: The Very First Rolex Daytona, Explained (Or, What Is A Double\-Swiss Underline Daytona?) \|author\=Clymer, Benjamin \|date\=June 19, 2013 \|website\=Hodinkee \|accessdate\=13 September 2018}} In addition to the chronograph features, the wristwatch featured a bezel engraved with a [tachymeter](/wiki/Tachymeter_%28watch%29 "Tachymeter (watch)"), as the watch was intended for racing drivers.
### Original series
[right\|thumb\|Model number 6263 stainless steel white dial Rolex Daytona](/wiki/File:Cosmo.jpg "Cosmo.jpg")
The original series, produced in small quantities from circa 1963 to the later 1980s, had a four\-digit model or reference number, and had a manual wind movement.{{Cite web\|date\=2021\-03\-05\|title\=Rolex Reference Numbers Explained\|url\=https://www.swisswatchexpo.com/TheWatchClub/2021/03/04/rolex\-reference\-numbers\-explained/\|access\-date\=2021\-09\-11\|website\=The Watch Club by SwissWatchExpo\|language\=en\-US}} The movement is essential to distinguish the original series from the later two series, as the other two movements are self\-wound. These first versions with four\-digit model numbers are the rarest of the Daytonas. The first version, Reference 6239 featured plain pushers (timing buttons) and did not have the "Oyster" features to enhance water resistance, which include a screw\-down winding crown and screw\-down timing buttons.{{cite web \|url\=http://www.thewatchology.com/rolex\-daytona\-history/ \|title\=Rolex Daytona History – The Cosmograph Daytona Story \|website\=thewatchology.com \|date\=March 14, 2015 \|accessdate\=13 September 2018}} Reference 6240 introduced these "Oyster" features to the Cosmograph Daytona in 1965, but the "Oyster" Daytonas were manufactured in parallel with other models which retained the plain pushers until 1972\. Various models of the original series could also be distinguished by different bezel materials.
The movement used in the original series was a manual wind movement manufactured by [Valjoux](/wiki/Valjoux "Valjoux"), which was designated Calibre 72\. It was reworked by Rolex and redesignated as Calibre 722\.{{cite web \|url\=https://www.watchonista.com/articles/vintage/rolex\-daytona\-movements\-pucci\-papaleo \|title\=Rolex Daytona Movements by Pucci Papaleo \|date\=1 November 2013 \|author\=Giussani, Dody \|work\=Ultimate Rolex Daytona \|publisher\=watchonista \|accessdate\=13 September 2018}} References 6263 and 6265 (produced from 1970\) were Oyster versions.{{Cite web\|title\=Rolex Oyster Cosmograph ref. 6263 Tropical registers\|url\=https://www.iconeek.com/rolexcosmographtropical6263\.html\|access\-date\=2021\-09\-10\|website\=www.iconeek.com}} The movement used remained based on the manual\-wind Valjoux Calibre 72, but with some refinements, and was called the Rolex Calibre 727\. These Daytonas are very rare and very collectible. The movement has proven to be exceptionally reliable and accurate. In fact, the Cal. 727 was certified as a chronometer in some cases.The Daytona Saga by William Messina
Cosmetically, original series Daytonas carried sub\-dials in a single color that contrasted with the color of the main dial (i.e., both variants: a black dial with white sub\-dials, and a white dial with black sub\-dials), in contrast with Reference 6238, which retained a monotone scheme and a tachymeter within the crystal. However, rare "albino" variants of the Daytona are known to exist where sub\-dial colors match the main dial like Reference 6238\. The first known "Albino Daytona" was owned by [Eric Clapton](/wiki/Eric_Clapton "Eric Clapton").{{cite web \|url\=https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/rolex\-albino\-daytona\-ben\-clymer \|title\=Historical Perspectives: A Close Encounter With Just The Third Of Its Kind: Hands\-On With The Legendary Albino Daytona \|author\=Clymer, Benjamin \|date\=July 17, 2013 \|website\=Hodinkee \|accessdate\=13 September 2018}} The word "Daytona" was added below the 12 o'clock "Rolex Cosmograph" signature in 1964, then moved to a position above the 6 o'clock (hours) sub\-dial by 1967\. The first of the "exotic" dials (later named "Paul Newman" dials) were introduced in 1965\.

The Rolex Daytona was inspired by racecar drivers and enthusiasts, most notably, iconic actor Paul Newman, who reportedly wore his Daytona every day after he was gifted one by his wife. Newman typically wore it on a leather military strap, and was photographed wearing it in this fashion for the 1972 book *Paul Newman \- Les images d'une vie*. The caseback bore a custom engraving: "DRIVE CAREFULLY ME".{{cite news \|url\=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning\-mix/wp/2017/10/27/paul\-newmans\-rolex\-with\-a\-telling\-message\-from\-his\-wife\-fetches\-record\-17\-8\-million/ \|title\=Paul Newman's Rolex — with a telling message from his wife — fetches record $17\.8 million \|author\=Andrews, Travis M. \|date\=October 27, 2017 \|newspaper\=The Washington Post \|accessdate\=13 September 2018}} By 2005, Newman had replaced it with a Reference 6263 Daytona with a conventional dial, also a gift, bearing the inscription "DRIVE SLOWLY, JOANNE".{{cite magazine \|url\=http://www.qualitytyme.net/pages/rolex\_articles/30daytona.html \|title\=30 Year Love Affair, The Paul Newman Daytona... \|author\=Brozek, John E. \|date\=2005 \|magazine\=Goodwood Magazine \|publisher\=InfoQuest Publishing \|accessdate\=13 September 2018}} The second Daytona was reportedly purchased in 1984, which prompted Newman to gift the first Daytona to his daughter's boyfriend, James Cox, that year.{{cite news \|url\=https://www.bbc.com/news/world\-us\-canada\-41787046\|title\=Paul Newman watch sells for record $18m\|date\=28 October 2017\|accessdate\=6 December 2017\|work\=BBC News}}
### Second series
[thumb\|right\|Reference 16528 in gold with white dial and diamond chapters](/wiki/File:Daytona_16528.jpg "Daytona 16528.jpg")
This original series was in very short supply by the early 1990s, which led to a second series to meet demand, introduced in 1988 with Reference 16520\. The second series uses a modified [automatic winding](/wiki/Automatic_watch "Automatic watch") movement, originally manufactured by [Zenith](/wiki/Zenith_%28watchmaker%29 "Zenith (watchmaker)") for their "El Primero" watch, designated by Zenith as Calibre 3019PHC. The movement was originally designed in 1969{{cite web \|url\=https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the\-zenith\-ref\-a3817 \|title\=A Week On The Wrist: The Zenith El Primero Reference A3817 \|author\=Zhou, Ph \|date\=February 29, 2016 \|website\=Hodinkee \|accessdate\=13 September 2018}} after development commenced in 1962{{cite web \|url\=http://www.onthedash.com/docs/Project99\.html \|title\=Project 99 — The Race to Develop the World's First Automatic Chronograph \|author\=Stein, Jeffrey M. \|date\=June 5, 2008 \|website\=onthedash.com \|accessdate\=13 September 2018}} and remains the highest VPH (vibrations per hour) mass\-produced chronograph movement on the market at 36,000 VPH.{{Cite web\|title\=Stainless steel Rolex Daytona\|url\=https://www.escobardiamonds.com/stainless\-steel\-rolex\-daytona.html\|access\-date\=2021\-09\-10\|website\=Joe Escobar Diamonds\|language\=en}} After Zenith was sold to [the American company of the same name](/wiki/Zenith_Radio_Corporation "Zenith Radio Corporation") in 1971, the company discontinued production of mechanical movements in 1975\. However, Charles Vermot, a senior engineer for Martel Watch Company (where the El Primero was made, and which had been acquired in 1959 by Zenith) had, over a period of months, secretly disassembled the tooling for the El Primero and stored it in the factory attic after the closure had been announced in 1975\.{{cite web \|url\=https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/charles\-vermot\-the\-man\-who\-saved\-the\-el\-primero\-and\-possibly\-zenith \|title\=Historical Perspectives: The Story Of Charles Vermot, The Man Who Saved The El Primero (And Possibly Zenith) \|last\=Touchot \|first\=Arthur \|date\=October 10, 2016 \|website\=Hodinkee \|accessdate\=13 September 2018}}
After Zenith Radio resold Zenith in 1978, [Ebel](/wiki/Ebel "Ebel") decided to purchase some unassembled Calibre 3019PHC movements in 1981, which Zenith assembled out of leftover spare parts. Rolex expressed interest in using the 3019PHC to power a new series of Daytonas, but would not award the ten\-year contract to Zenith until they could resume production of new movements. Production resumed in 1986 after Vermot showed company leaders where he had saved the tooling and production notes. Rolex modified the movement by reducing the beats to 28,800 VPH to increase the power reserve, and made a few other changes, retaining only 50% of the original parts. The modified movement was designated Calibre 4030 by Rolex.
The second series Daytonas used a sapphire crystal (in lieu of the acrylic crystal of the original series); the case diameter grew from {{convert\|37\|mm\|abbr\=on}} on the original to {{convert\|40\|mm\|abbr\=on}} for the second series; the dials were now glossy; and the sub\-dials were now largely the same color as the dial, with an outer track in a contrasting color.{{cite web \|url\=https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/a\-vintage\-watch\-nerds\-critical\-dissection\-of\-the\-rolex\-daytona\-past\-to\-present\-part\-1\-3 \|title\=In\-Depth: A Vintage Watch Nerd's Critical Dissection Of The Rolex Daytona, Past To Present (Part 1/3\) \|author\=Boutros, Paul \|date\=July 30, 2012 \|website\=Hodinkee \|accessdate\=13 September 2018}} These later series Daytonas, pre\-dating in\-house movements, were accurate and reliable; they were produced in limited quantities from 1988 to 2000\.
The second series uses a five\-digit Reference number. The "Chairman Daytona" was created in 1991 as a variant of Reference 16528; it has a galvanised blue dial and the tachymeter markings go to 400 units/hr.{{Cite web\|title\=Rolex Daytona vs. Submariner Review {{!}} WatchBox\|url\=https://www.thewatchbox.com/blog/rolex\-daytona\-vs\-submariner.html\|access\-date\=2021\-09\-11\|website\=www.thewatchbox.com\|language\=en}} Two second series Daytonas were sold with leather straps: Reference 16518 (yellow gold) and 16519 (white gold).

"History\n-------",
"There have been three series of the Cosmograph Daytona. Prior to the release of the \"Daytona\", Rolex produced chronographs using movements sourced from outside manufacturers housed in conventional and, starting in the 1940s, Oyster cases.{{cite web \\|url\\=https://www.watchtime.com/featured/tracking\\-the\\-rolex\\-daytona\\-a\\-53\\-year\\-history/ \\|title\\=Tracking the Rolex Daytona: A 55\\-Year History \\|date\\=June 28, 2018 \\|work\\=WatchTime \\|accessdate\\=13 September 2018}} Rolex introduced a more modern chronograph in 1955, designated Reference 6234, and manufactured approximately 500 per year until 1961, the year it was discontinued. The dial of Reference 6234 was not marked \"Cosmograph\" or \"Daytona\". The Reference (model) number is marked on the side of the case at the 12 o'clock position, where it is hidden under the strap lugs.{{cite web \\|url\\=https://www.bobswatches.com/rolex\\-serial\\-numbers \\|title\\=Rolex Serial Numbers \\|website\\=Bob's Watches \\|accessdate\\=13 September 2018}} Each Rolex Daytona watch has a unique serial number, which is typically a 4\\-8 digit number engraved between the lugs on the 6 o'clock side of the case, behind the bracelet. The serial number can provide valuable information about the watch, including its production date. For instance, a Rolex watch with a serial number starting with 28000 was produced in 1926\\. Reference 6234 has three smaller sub\\-dials, to mark the passage of seconds up to 60 seconds (at the 9 o'clock position), minutes up to 30 minutes (at the 3 o'clock position), and hours up to 12 hours (at the 6 o'clock position); all of these match the color of the main dial. It also featured a tachymeter scale on the outer chapter ring, and a [telemeter chronograph](/wiki/Telemeter_chronograph \"Telemeter chronograph\") scale on the inner chapter ring.{{cite web \\|url\\=https://www.timeandwatches.com/p/history\\-of\\-rolex\\-cosmograph\\-daytona.html \\|title\\=The Rolex Daytona History \\|author\\=Mazzardo, Alessandro \\|date\\=January 2, 2014 \\|website\\=Time and Watches \\|accessdate\\=13 September 2018}} Reference 6234 was succeeded by Reference 6238, which dropped the telemeter scale and updated its appearance to include many features that would be adopted for its successor Reference 6239\\.",
"Rolex became the official timekeeper of the [Daytona International Speedway](/wiki/Daytona_International_Speedway \"Daytona International Speedway\") in 1962, and to mark the occasion, Reference 6234 was replaced with Cosmograph Reference 6239, introduced in 1963 as the first chronograph from Rolex nicknamed \"Daytona\". However, the original Reference 6239 did not include \"Daytona\" on the dial (and was in fact nicknamed \"Le Mans\" for the famous [24 Hours of Le Mans](/wiki/24_Hours_of_Le_Mans \"24 Hours of Le Mans\") race).{{cite web \\|url\\=https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the\\-first\\-rolex\\-daytona\\-by\\-benjamin\\-clymer \\|title\\=Historical Perspectives: The Very First Rolex Daytona, Explained (Or, What Is A Double\\-Swiss Underline Daytona?) \\|author\\=Clymer, Benjamin \\|date\\=June 19, 2013 \\|website\\=Hodinkee \\|accessdate\\=13 September 2018}} In addition to the chronograph features, the wristwatch featured a bezel engraved with a [tachymeter](/wiki/Tachymeter_%28watch%29 \"Tachymeter (watch)\"), as the watch was intended for racing drivers.",
"### Original series",
"[right\\|thumb\\|Model number 6263 stainless steel white dial Rolex Daytona](/wiki/File:Cosmo.jpg \"Cosmo.jpg\")\nThe original series, produced in small quantities from circa 1963 to the later 1980s, had a four\\-digit model or reference number, and had a manual wind movement.{{Cite web\\|date\\=2021\\-03\\-05\\|title\\=Rolex Reference Numbers Explained\\|url\\=https://www.swisswatchexpo.com/TheWatchClub/2021/03/04/rolex\\-reference\\-numbers\\-explained/\\|access\\-date\\=2021\\-09\\-11\\|website\\=The Watch Club by SwissWatchExpo\\|language\\=en\\-US}} The movement is essential to distinguish the original series from the later two series, as the other two movements are self\\-wound. These first versions with four\\-digit model numbers are the rarest of the Daytonas. The first version, Reference 6239 featured plain pushers (timing buttons) and did not have the \"Oyster\" features to enhance water resistance, which include a screw\\-down winding crown and screw\\-down timing buttons.{{cite web \\|url\\=http://www.thewatchology.com/rolex\\-daytona\\-history/ \\|title\\=Rolex Daytona History – The Cosmograph Daytona Story \\|website\\=thewatchology.com \\|date\\=March 14, 2015 \\|accessdate\\=13 September 2018}} Reference 6240 introduced these \"Oyster\" features to the Cosmograph Daytona in 1965, but the \"Oyster\" Daytonas were manufactured in parallel with other models which retained the plain pushers until 1972\\. Various models of the original series could also be distinguished by different bezel materials.",
"The movement used in the original series was a manual wind movement manufactured by [Valjoux](/wiki/Valjoux \"Valjoux\"), which was designated Calibre 72\\. It was reworked by Rolex and redesignated as Calibre 722\\.{{cite web \\|url\\=https://www.watchonista.com/articles/vintage/rolex\\-daytona\\-movements\\-pucci\\-papaleo \\|title\\=Rolex Daytona Movements by Pucci Papaleo \\|date\\=1 November 2013 \\|author\\=Giussani, Dody \\|work\\=Ultimate Rolex Daytona \\|publisher\\=watchonista \\|accessdate\\=13 September 2018}} References 6263 and 6265 (produced from 1970\\) were Oyster versions.{{Cite web\\|title\\=Rolex Oyster Cosmograph ref. 6263 Tropical registers\\|url\\=https://www.iconeek.com/rolexcosmographtropical6263\\.html\\|access\\-date\\=2021\\-09\\-10\\|website\\=www.iconeek.com}} The movement used remained based on the manual\\-wind Valjoux Calibre 72, but with some refinements, and was called the Rolex Calibre 727\\. These Daytonas are very rare and very collectible. The movement has proven to be exceptionally reliable and accurate. In fact, the Cal. 727 was certified as a chronometer in some cases.The Daytona Saga by William Messina",
"Cosmetically, original series Daytonas carried sub\\-dials in a single color that contrasted with the color of the main dial (i.e., both variants: a black dial with white sub\\-dials, and a white dial with black sub\\-dials), in contrast with Reference 6238, which retained a monotone scheme and a tachymeter within the crystal. However, rare \"albino\" variants of the Daytona are known to exist where sub\\-dial colors match the main dial like Reference 6238\\. The first known \"Albino Daytona\" was owned by [Eric Clapton](/wiki/Eric_Clapton \"Eric Clapton\").{{cite web \\|url\\=https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/rolex\\-albino\\-daytona\\-ben\\-clymer \\|title\\=Historical Perspectives: A Close Encounter With Just The Third Of Its Kind: Hands\\-On With The Legendary Albino Daytona \\|author\\=Clymer, Benjamin \\|date\\=July 17, 2013 \\|website\\=Hodinkee \\|accessdate\\=13 September 2018}} The word \"Daytona\" was added below the 12 o'clock \"Rolex Cosmograph\" signature in 1964, then moved to a position above the 6 o'clock (hours) sub\\-dial by 1967\\. The first of the \"exotic\" dials (later named \"Paul Newman\" dials) were introduced in 1965\\.",

"The Rolex Daytona was inspired by racecar drivers and enthusiasts, most notably, iconic actor Paul Newman, who reportedly wore his Daytona every day after he was gifted one by his wife.

The second series uses a modified [automatic winding](/wiki/Automatic_watch \"Automatic watch\") movement, originally manufactured by [Zenith](/wiki/Zenith_%28watchmaker%29 \"Zenith (watchmaker)\") for their \"El Primero\" watch, designated by Zenith as Calibre 3019PHC.

However, Charles Vermot, a senior engineer for Martel Watch Company (where the El Primero was made, and which had been acquired in 1959 by Zenith) had, over a period of months, secretly disassembled the tooling for the El Primero and stored it in the factory attic after the closure had been announced in 1975\\.{{cite web \\|url\\=https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/charles\\-vermot\\-the\\-man\\-who\\-saved\\-the\\-el\\-primero\\-and\\-possibly\\-zenith \\|title\\=Historical Perspectives: The Story Of Charles Vermot, The Man Who Saved The El Primero (And Possibly Zenith) \\|last\\=Touchot \\|first\\=Arthur \\|date\\=October 10, 2016 \\|website\\=Hodinkee \\|accessdate\\=13 September 2018}}",
"After Zenith Radio resold Zenith in 1978, [Ebel](/wiki/Ebel \"Ebel\") decided to purchase some unassembled Calibre 3019PHC movements in 1981, which Zenith assembled out of leftover spare parts. Rolex expressed interest in using the 3019PHC to power a new series of Daytonas, but would not award the ten\\-year contract to Zenith until they could resume production of new movements. Production resumed in 1986 after Vermot showed company leaders where he had saved the tooling and production notes. Rolex modified the movement by reducing the beats to 28,800 VPH to increase the power reserve, and made a few other changes, retaining only 50% of the original parts. The modified movement was designated Calibre 4030 by Rolex.",
"The second series Daytonas used a sapphire crystal (in lieu of the acrylic crystal of the original series); the case diameter grew from {{convert\\|37\\|mm\\|abbr\\=on}} on the original to {{convert\\|40\\|mm\\|abbr\\=on}} for the second series; the dials were now glossy; and the sub\\-dials were now largely the same color as the dial, with an outer track in a contrasting color.{{cite web \\|url\\=https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/a\\-vintage\\-watch\\-nerds\\-critical\\-dissection\\-of\\-the\\-rolex\\-daytona\\-past\\-to\\-present\\-part\\-1\\-3 \\|title\\=In\\-Depth: A Vintage Watch Nerd's Critical Dissection Of The Rolex Daytona, Past To Present (Part 1/3\\) \\|author\\=Boutros, Paul \\|date\\=July 30, 2012 \\|website\\=Hodinkee \\|accessdate\\=13 September 2018}} These later series Daytonas, pre\\-dating in\\-house movements, were accurate and reliable; they were produced in limited quantities from 1988 to 2000\\.",

Arguments in favour of Sunday shopping
--------------------------------------
Sunday shopping has its main argument in the [consumer welfare](/wiki/Consumer_welfare "Consumer welfare"). Extending opening hours gives customers more time to do their shopping. They allow individuals to avoid peak shopping hours and having to queue in their free time.[Liberalizing shop opening hours](http://www.institutmolinari.org/liberalizing-shop-opening-hours,315.html), Cécile Philippe, *Institut Economique Molinari*, 13 avril 2007\.
Public authorities hurt consumers by keeping stores from choosing their opening hours according to their market presumptions of consumers' demand. According to the [OECD](/wiki/OECD "OECD"), demand has strongly evolved towards greater flexibility, also due to a greater diversity of working hours in the economy in general, as well as to a higher female labour participation in the labour market.OECD Economic Studies, No. 32, 2001/1\.
Before the liberalisation of shop opening hours in a country like Austria, for example, one could observe an increase in cross\-border shopping towards countries with more liberal shopping hours.
It has not been proven that Sunday shopping hurts retailers by [leading all of them to open longer hours](/wiki/Race_to_the_bottom "Race to the bottom"). Consumer preferences can point in the direction of an extension of shop opening hours in a given area without this need arising in another area. In Spain, for instance, where relatively few restrictions survive, retail stores are open an average of 46 hours per week. In Sweden, 15 years after liberalisation, supply as regards shop opening hours has not yet standardised itself. On the contrary, if 80% of the department stores and supermarkets are open on Sunday, only half of corner shops and 48% of furniture stores are open on this day.
Final extension of opening hours, for each individual firm, will depend on:
* the price consumers are ready to pay for a 24/7 offer of certain products, as prices can rise due to higher wages for Sunday workers;
* the wage that workers will or can demand in order to work additional hours.
An economic model of free competition in prices and opening hours with free entry has shown that restrictions on opening hours aggravate a market failure: entry is excessive and opening hours are underprovided. The model predicts the impact of a liberalization of opening hours: in the short run prices will remain constant, but increase in the long run. Concentration in the retail sector will rise and opening hours will increase in two steps, immediately after deregulation and further over time. Finally, employment in the retail sector increases.{{Cite thesis\|url\=http://repec.rwi\-essen.de/files/REP\_07\_013\.pdf\|title\=Liberalization of Opening Hours with Free Entry\|first\=Tobias\|last\=Wenzel\|publisher\=Ruhr Graduate School in Economics\|series\=Ruhr Economic Papers \#13\|isbn\=978\-3\-86788\-006\-0\|date\=June 2007}}
Campaigns for deregulation of Sunday shopping have been put forward mainly by [liberal parties](/wiki/Liberalism "Liberalism"){{CN\|date\=December 2021}}. But as long ago as 1899,{{cite book\|first1\=Alonzo T.\|last1\=Jones\|first2\=Ellen G.\|last2\= White\|title\=1899 Camp Meetings\|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=ZdYREKbMtpsC\&pg\=PA104\|isbn\=9781479602100\|publisher\=TEACH Services, Inc. (with permission)\|page\=104\|date\=July 2012}} even US Christian churchgoers were calling for a reform of the laws in the US, because the result was not more people going to Church but "enforced [idleness](/wiki/Idleness "Idleness")": George Orwell uses the term in *[Down and out in Paris and London](/wiki/Down_and_out_in_Paris_and_London "Down and out in Paris and London")* to remark that the worst problem of the [underclass](/wiki/Underclass "Underclass") is being made to wait.{{cite book\|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=A8KoAwAAQBAJ\&pg\=PA43\|title\=Orwell.Politics and Power\|publisher\=\[\[Bloomsbury Publishing\|Bloomsbury]]\|place\=New York\|isbn\=9781441109828\|date\=14 October 2010}}[Louis XIV of France](/wiki/Louis_XIV_of_France "Louis XIV of France") famously was annoyed by being "nearly made to wait".
A [deontological](/wiki/Deontology "Deontology") argument based on [individualist](/wiki/Individualism "Individualism") principles holds that business owners should be free to set whatever hours they please and to hire whatever workers are available, able, and willing to work during those hours.{{fact\|date\=February 2024}}

Sunday shopping by continent
----------------------------
### Europe
[thumb\|A map of countries where large supermarkets are generally open on non\-holiday Sundays:
**Green:** Large supermarkets and shopping centers are generally open on Sundays.
**Blue:** Large supermarkets are allowed to be open for 6 hours or less on Sundays.
**Red:** Large supermarkets are generally closed on Sundays.](/wiki/File:European_countries_with_large_supermarkets_open_on_Sundays.png "European countries with large supermarkets open on Sundays.png")
#### European Union
EU law allows each Member State to set its own policy concerning work on Sundays. Working time in EU member states is addressed in the [Working Time Directive](/wiki/Working_Time_Directive "Working Time Directive"): only a weekly rest after six days of work is required. The [European Court of Justice](/wiki/European_Court_of_Justice "European Court of Justice") in its case law on the subject, built from the 1980s, has not confirmed that Sunday should forcibly be the day of interruption. For the European Commission, "the choice of a closing day of shopping involves historical, cultural, touristic, social and religious considerations within the discretion of each Member State".Exposé des motifs de la proposition de loi visant à modifier l'article L. 221\-5 du code du travail afin de permettre l'ouverture des commerces le dimanche [http://www.assemblee\-nationale.fr/12/propositions/pion3262\.asp](http://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/12/propositions/pion3262.asp)
The following European Union countries currently allow all shops to open for at least part of every Sunday: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Sweden.
The following European Union countries currently allow shops to open every Sunday in towns and cities designated as tourist destinations and currently have a very extensive list of them that includes capitals and major cities: Belgium, France and Spain.
In Malta, restrictions were lifted in early 2017, and grocery shops are now allowed to open; other stores have to pay a weekly fee of €700 to be allowed to legally trade on Sundays.[Sunday shopping restrictions lifted](http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20170110/local/sunday-shopping-restrictions-lifted.636152) − Times of Malta
##### Belgium
Shops in [Belgium](/wiki/Belgium "Belgium") may open on a certain number of Sunday afternoons.{{citation needed\|date\=April 2013}} In March 2006, the number of Sunday opening days increased from three to up to nine. Six of these are determined by the federal government and three may be determined by municipalities. In addition, the criteria which a municipality must meet to be recognised as a "tourist centre" were relaxed.
There are also arrangements for food stores to open on Sunday and wider arrangements for Sunday opening of certain sectors such as furniture stores, DIY stores and garden centres.
##### Czech Republic
According to the Czech labour code, where operations so allow, the employer shall set a rest period during the week for all employees to fall on a Sunday,{{Cite book\|url\=https://www.legislationline.org/download/id/6742/file/Czech\_Republic\_Labour\_Code\_2006\_am2011\_en.pdf\|title\=LABOUR CODE (full translation) No. 262/2006 Coll., as amended "Zákoník práce"}} but Sunday shopping itself is not restricted. Although the discussion about restriction is ongoing.{{cite web\|title\=Česku by prospěl zákaz nedělního prodeje, zaznívá od části obchodníků\|url\=https://www.e15\.cz/byznys/obchod\-a\-sluzby/cesku\-by\-prospel\-zakaz\-nedelniho\-prodeje\-zazniva\-od\-casti\-obchodniku\-1341889\|access\-date\=2020\-07\-21\|website\=E15\.cz}}{{cite web\|title\=V hře je zavření všech obchodů o nedělích – Novinky.cz\|url\=https://www.novinky.cz/domaci/clanek/babis\-a\-malacova\-chteji\-na\-nedeli\-zavrit\-obchody\-havlicek\-nesouhlasi\-40318968\|access\-date\=2020\-07\-21\|website\=novinky.cz}} Since 2016 there are restrictions for larger shops (400 m2 and more) during selected [public holidays](/wiki/Public_holidays_in_the_Czech_Republic "Public holidays in the Czech Republic").{{cite web\|title\=Státní svátky 2020 a kdy budou zavřené obchody – Seznam Zprávy\|url\=https://www.seznamzpravy.cz/clanek/statni\-svatky\-80100\|access\-date\=2020\-07\-21\|website\=seznamzpravy.cz}}{{cite web\|title\=Zákon č. 223/2016 Sb.\|url\=https://www.zakonyprolidi.cz/cs/2016\-223}}
##### Croatia
The Roman Catholic Church and some other minor organisations tried to influence the [Croatian](/wiki/Croatia "Croatia") Government in order for Sunday shopping to be banned. Although it had worked for some time, the [Croatian Constitutional Court](/wiki/Constitutional_Court_of_the_Republic_of_Croatia "Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia") declared banning Sunday shopping to be unconstitutional, and on 28 April 2004 issued a decision making it legal.{{cite journal \| url\=http://www.nn.hr/clanci/sluzbeno/2004/1251\.htm \| language \= hr \| title \= Odluka \| trans\-title \= Decision \| date \= 28 April 2004 \| journal \= \[\[Narodne novine]] \| issue \= 2004/55 \| author \= Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia}} The Church admitted defeat in the battle over closing shops on Sundays.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.nacional.hr/en/articles/view/29143/ \|title\=Church admits defeat in battle over closing shops on Sundays \|author\=Robert Bajruši \|date\=14 November 2006 \|access\-date\=8 July 2012 \|url\-status\=live \|archive\-date\=17 July 2012 \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20120717003633/http://www.nacional.hr/en/clanak/29143/church\-admits\-defeat\-in\-battle\-over\-closing\-shops\-on\-sundays \|publisher\=\[\[Nacional (weekly)]] }}{{cite web\|url\=http://www.nacional.hr/clanak/29063/crkva\-je\-priznala\-poraz\-u\-borbi\-za\-neradnu\-nedjelju \|author\=Robert Bajruši \|work\=\[\[Nacional (weekly)\|Nacional]] \|language\=hr \|date\=14 November 2006 \|title\=Crkva je priznala poraz u borbi za neradnu nedjelju \|trans\-title\=Church concedes struggle for free Sundays \|access\-date\=8 July 2012 \|archive\-date\=18 June 2013 \|url\-status\=live \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20130618141906/http://www.nacional.hr/clanak/29063/crkva\-je\-priznala\-poraz\-u\-borbi\-za\-neradnu\-nedjelju }} However, on 15 July 2008, the [Croatian Parliament](/wiki/Croatian_Parliament "Croatian Parliament"), again under pressure from the Catholic Church; passed a new\-old law banning Sunday shopping effective 1 January 2009\. However, this new ban was also declared to be unconstitutional by the Croatian Constitutional Court on 19 June 2009\.{{cite news \| url \= http://dnevnik.hr/vijesti/hrvatska/ustavni\-sud\-ponistio\-odluku\-o\-zabrani\-rada\-nedjeljom.html \| language \= hr \| work \= Dnevnik.hr \| publisher \= \[\[Nova TV (Croatia)]] \| title \= Ustavni sud poništio zabranu rada nedjeljom \| date \= 19 June 2009}}
A new temporary ban, introduced between 27 April 2020 and 26 May 2020 related to measures to restrict the spread of [COVID\-19](/wiki/COVID-19 "COVID-19"), was also declared unconstitutional on 14 September 2020\. {{cite web\|url\=https://www.usud.hr/sites/default/files/dokumenti/Priopcenje\_za\_javnost\_od\_14\.09\.2020\.pdf \|language\=hr \|date\=14 September 2020 \|author\=dr. sc.

##### Denmark
In [Denmark](/wiki/Denmark "Denmark"), the closing laws restricting retail trade on Sundays have been abolished with effect from 1 October 2012\. From then on, retail trade is only restricted on public holidays (New Years Day, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, Day of Prayer, Ascension Day, Whit Sunday, Whit Monday, Christmas Day and Boxing Day) and on Constitution Day, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve (on New Year's Eve from 3 pm only). On these days, almost all shops will remain closed. Exempt are bakeries, DIYs, garden centres, filling stations and smaller supermarkets.{{cite news\|url\=https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/2010/543\|title\=Lov om ændring af lov om detailsalg fra butikker m.v.\|language\=da\|website\=Retsinformation}}
Hyper\- and supermarkets are typically open on Sundays from 7 am or 8 am until 8 pm or even until 10 pm.
##### Finland
{{As of\|2009\|12}}, [opening hours](/wiki/Shopping_hours%23Finland "Shopping hours#Finland"), including Sunday shopping, for stores with a commercial floor area of less than 400 m2 are unregulated. The current law{{cite web\|url\=http://www.finlex.fi/fi/laki/ajantasa/2009/20090945 \|title\=Kumottu säädös Laki vähittäiskaupan sekä parturi\- ja… 945/2009 – Ajantasainen lainsäädäntö – FINLEX ® \|publisher\=Finlex.fi \|accessdate\=2021\-02\-07}} permits even the largest retailing venues to stay open on Sundays from 12 pm to 6 pm, and during the Christmas shopping season, beginning on the third Sunday of November and ending on 23 December, to 9 pm. Sunday shopping was introduced in 1994\.{{cite web\|url\=https://finlex.fi/fi/laki/alkup/1994/19940446\|title\=Laki vähittäiskaupan ja eräiden työliikkeiden liikeajasta annetun lain muuttamisesta\|date\=10 June 1994\|language\=fi\|website\=Finlex}} On 15 December 2015, the Finnish parliament voted for removing all opening hour restrictions for grocery retailers. The new law came into force on 1 January 2016\.{{cite web \|url\=http://www.hs.fi/paivanlehti/29122015/a1451287829878 \|title\=Kauppojen aukioloajat vapautuvat tällä viikolla – muutos näkyy selvimmin lauantai\-illoissa \|publisher\=Helsingin Sanomat\|date\=29 December 2015 }}
##### France
French laws about Sunday shopping are complex. Although Sunday shopping is generally not permitted, there are many exceptions such as certain zones and municipalities of the metropolitan areas of Paris, Marseille, and Lille; as well as around 500 cities that were declared as tourist towns, including major cities such as Nice, Le Havre, Vannes and Bordeaux. Most major stores nationwide open every Sunday in December prior to Christmas. Supermarkets (but not hypermarkets) are allowed to open nationwide every Sunday morning until 13:00 for grocery shopping. The relaxation in rules in 2009 allowed all stores to open in tourist areas (before, only sports, toys and cultural shops were allowed). The most visible result is that now clothing stores open every Sunday in places such as Champs Elysees in Paris, La Défense, central Marseille, central Cannes and central Nice.{{cite web\|url\=https://about\-france.com/shopping\-in\-france.htm\|title\=Shopping in France, hours chains and general guidance\|website\=about\-france.com}}
In 2008, the Swedish furniture chain [IKEA](/wiki/IKEA "IKEA") was fined €450,000 (over $700,000\) for trading on Sundays under the law of 1906\.{{citation

}} Within the current law, IKEA stores in France are allowed to open on a Sunday. However, only the ones in the Paris metropolitan area actually do so.
##### Germany
In Germany, opening hours have long been restricted through the [Ladenschlussgesetz](/wiki/Ladenschlussgesetz "Ladenschlussgesetz"). The 1956 law required shops to close for the weekend at 2 pm on a Saturday and 6:30 pm on week\-nights, with opening until 6 pm on the first Saturday of the month, in what was known as the *Langer Samstag*, or "long Saturday". The law was changed, in the face of strong resistance from labour unions, to allow *langer Donnerstag* ("long Thursday") until 8:30 pm in 1988, and in 1996 opening times were extended to 8 pm from Monday to Friday and 4 pm on Saturday; this was extended to 8 pm on Saturday in 2004\.[Studies relaunch debate on further liberalisation of shop opening hours](http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/eiro/1999/12/feature/de9912230f.htm), *EIRO online*, 1999
In 2004, the Federal Constitutional Court ruled against lifting restrictions on Sunday opening, which is still confined to some small bakeries and convenience stores inside railway stations and airports.{{cite news \| url\=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/3792015\.stm \| title\=Germany rejects Sunday shopping
\| date\=9 June 2004 \|publisher\=BBC}}
In 2006 and 2007, the responsibility for opening hours was transferred to the [state](/wiki/States_of_Germany "States of Germany") governments instead of the federal government, leading to an end to regulated Monday–Saturday opening hours in several states.
Studies on the German deregulation find that, far from causing an increase in consumer prices, the liberalisation lowered prices to some extent, though revenue was unaffected. This decrease in prices was probably driven by productivity increases created by the smoothing of consumer traffic over a longer period of time and the greater ability of consumers to compare prices in a deregulated environment.{{cite web\|url\=https://iea.org.uk/blog/regulating\-shop\-opening\-hours\-harms\-both\-consumers\-and\-workers\|title\=Regulating shop opening hours harms both consumers and workers\|website\=Institute of Economic Affairs\|first\=Karthik\|last\=Reddy\|date\=16 August 2011}}
However, there is still strong resistance to Sunday shopping from clergy and politicians.
As of 2013, the number of Sunday shopping days per year became regulated by the local government bodies. Berlin,{{cite news \| url\=http://www.berlin.de/tourismus/infos/1740536\-1721039\-ladenoeffnungszeiten\-sonntagsverkauf.html \| title\=Ladenöffnungszeiten \& Sonntagsverkauf \| publisher\=berlin.de}} for example, allowed 10 Sundays each year in 2013, reduced to 8 Sundays in 2014, of which two must be during the month before Christmas. In addition, a few supermarkets, located at major subway/railway stations, are allowed to be open for Sunday shopping all year.
Several major railway stations are permitted to operate their shops, such as grocery stores, bookstores, and drug stores, on Sundays.
##### Hungary
{{unreferenced section\|date\=July 2015}}
[thumb\|right\|200px\|A billboard erected in Budapest's III district by the opposition MKKP\-Vastagbőr alignment](/wiki/File:Welcome_to_Hungary_%28Closed_on_Sundays%29.jpg "Welcome to Hungary (Closed on Sundays).jpg")
Until 15 March 2015, shopping hours in Hungary were unregulated. Most convenience stores and general stores were open on a Sunday, even if only in the mornings. Larger stores (typically those above {{convert\|5000\|to\|15000\|m2\|sqft\|abbr\=on\|sigfig\=2\|disp\=comma}}), such as Tesco [hypermarkets](/wiki/Hypermarkets "Hypermarkets")) were open [24 hours a day, 7 days a week](/wiki/24/7 "24/7") ({{lang\-hu\|non\-stop or 'éjjel\-nappali'}}).
From 15 March 2015, new regulations banned shops from opening on Sundays. The new regulation only allowed trading by shops with an area no greater than {{convert\|200\|m2\|ft2}}, and even then only if they are operated by the owner or a close family member related by blood or marriage. The general exception from the law is the four Sundays in [Advent](/wiki/Advent "Advent") and one day that the shops can choose themselves. [Lidl](/wiki/Lidl "Lidl") chooses to open and close different stores on different Sundays, and lists which will be open in its [flysheets](/wiki/Flyer_%28pamphlet%29 "Flyer (pamphlet)").
Due to these rules being unpopular amongst the general public, a referendum was also planned against a Sunday shopping ban. From 17 April 2016, the shopping hours in Hungary are again unregulated. On public holidays (1 January, 15 March, Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, 1 May, Pentecost Sunday and Monday, 20 August, 23 October, 1 November, 25 and 26 December), all shops have to be closed. On [Christmas Eve](/wiki/Christmas_Eve "Christmas Eve"), shops must close by 14:00; while on 31 December, shops can be open until 18:00\.
##### Ireland
There has been no recent legislation regarding Sunday trading in [Ireland](/wiki/Republic_of_Ireland "Republic of Ireland"), which is regulated by the [*Shops (Hours of Trading) Act 1938*](http://acts.oireachtas.ie/en.act.1938.0003.1.html) ([Northern Ireland](/wiki/Northern_Ireland "Northern Ireland"), still being part of the [United Kingdom](/wiki/United_Kingdom "United Kingdom"), has different legislation). However, the act itself is largely inoperative – a 1938 [Statutory Instrument](/wiki/Statutory_Instrument "Statutory Instrument") made the entire State an 'Exempted Area' under the legislation{{cite web\|url\=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1938/sro/188/made/en/print\|website\=electronic Irish Statute Book (eISB)\|title\=S.I. No. 188/1938 – Shops (Hours of Trading) Act, 1938 (Part IV) (Exempted Area) Order, 1938\.}} – and as a result most shops and businesses may open whenever they please, including on Sundays and public holidays.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.entemp.ie/commerce/competition/role.htm\|title\=Role of Competition Policy\|url\-status\=dead\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20040505055319/http://www.entemp.ie/commerce/competition/role.htm\|archive\-date\=5 May 2004\|publisher\=Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Ireland): Commerce, Consumers and Competition Division\|date\=20 November 2003}}
Major retail chains (such as supermarkets, department stores, shops that specialise in DIY, household goods, clothing, etc.) and many independent retailers open their branches throughout Ireland on Sundays, usually from 10:00\-19:00 in the larger towns and cities and from 12:00\-18:00 in the smaller centres. In [Dublin](/wiki/Dublin "Dublin"), almost all shops are open on a Sunday.
Shopping centres are open on Sundays with a later opening time (11:00 onwards) and closing time between 18:00\-20:00\.
Supermarkets, convenience stores and petrol stations are open longer hours than other shops on Sundays, typically from early morning (06:00\-10:00\) to late evening (20:00\-00:00\).
Alcohol can only be sold in shops with a special licence – this includes most supermarkets, convenience stores and petrol stations. Alcohol can only be bought between 12:30\-22:00 on Sundays (where it is 10:30\-22:00 on all other days).
The relaxed nature of the Sunday trading hours in the Republic of Ireland saw in previous years, a large influx of people from Northern Ireland crossing the border to shop, eat and drink as Northern Ireland traditionally had very strict Sunday trading rules – [and still does to this day by comparison](/wiki/Sunday_shopping%23Northern_Ireland "Sunday shopping#Northern Ireland"). For example, pubs in Northern Ireland were not permitted to open on Sundays until 1989\. This affected trading in key border towns and cities, especially in [County Donegal](/wiki/County_Donegal "County Donegal"), [County Monaghan](/wiki/County_Monaghan "County Monaghan"), [County Cavan](/wiki/County_Cavan "County Cavan") and [County Louth](/wiki/County_Louth "County Louth"). Many people from Northern Ireland would spend most of their Sundays across the border, as nearly all of their shops, pubs and restaurants were open.
##### Netherlands
In The [Netherlands](/wiki/Netherlands "Netherlands"), all municipalities have the authority to allow shops to open every Sunday. In major cities (such as such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht) most shops are open every Sunday from 1200\-1700 or 1800\. Nationwide, most supermarkets are open on a Sunday although opening hours vary. In the Christian\-dominated [Bible Belt](/wiki/Bible_Belt_%28Netherlands%29 "Bible Belt (Netherlands)") area, most shops stay closed on Sundays due to severe pressure from conservative Christians claiming Sunday as a day for worship and rest only. In the past, municipalities would allow shops to open on particular Sundays, often once a month, and these would be known as a *koopzondag* in [Dutch](/wiki/Dutch_language "Dutch language"), literally a "Sunday of buying".
##### Poland
Currently, there is a ban on trading on Sundays in [Poland](/wiki/Poland "Poland"). Shopping malls, supermarkets and smaller shops are closed. Restaurants, online stores, filling stations (including their shops), some pharmacies, bakeries and post offices remain open. Due to a loophole in the law, some companies decided to extend their offer with additional services, e.g. the "[Żabka](/wiki/%C5%BBabka_%28convenience_store%29 "Żabka (convenience store)")" chain of stores, which also provide limited postal services.
There are exceptions to the trade ban – in 2021, there are 7 shopping Sundays, when shopping malls, supermarkets and other stores are open.
Currently, shopping hours of stores are restricted on 13 public holidays during the year.
A bill has been put forward to the Polish parliament by the [Solidarność](/wiki/Solidarity_%28Polish_trade_union%29 "Solidarity (Polish trade union)") trade union to ban Sunday shopping for larger retail stores all Sundays (apart from 7 Sundays during the year).
As a result of a long public debate in 2007, a law was passed banning trade on public holidays, but not on Sundays. The law entered into force on 26 October 2007, and the first day of the ban was [All Saints' Day](/wiki/All_Saints%27_Day "All Saints' Day") on 1 November 2007\.
The days of restricted shopping are:
* 1 January – [New Year](/wiki/New_Year "New Year"),
* 6 January – Feast of the [Epiphany](/wiki/Epiphany_%28holiday%29 "Epiphany (holiday)") (Three Kings' Day)
* [Easter Sunday](/wiki/Easter_Sunday "Easter Sunday") and [Easter Monday](/wiki/Easter_Monday "Easter Monday") (moving holiday, two days),
* 1 May – [National Day](/wiki/International_Workers%27_Day "International Workers' Day"),
* 3 May – [Constitution Day](/wiki/May_3rd_Constitution_Day "May 3rd Constitution Day"),
* [Pentecost](/wiki/Pentecost "Pentecost") (Pentecost Sunday, movable holiday),
* [Corpus Christi Day (Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of the Lord)](/wiki/Corpus_Christi_%28feast%29 "Corpus Christi (feast)"), (movable holiday – always a Thursday)
* 15 August – [Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary](/wiki/Assumption_of_the_Blessed_Virgin_Mary "Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary") as well as [Armed Forces Day](/wiki/Armed_Forces_Day_%28Poland%29 "Armed Forces Day (Poland)"),
* 1 November – [All Saints' Day](/wiki/All_Saints%27_Day "All Saints' Day"),
* 11 November – [National Independence Day](/wiki/National_Independence_Day_%28Poland%29 "National Independence Day (Poland)"),
* 25 December and 26 December – [Christmas](/wiki/Christmas "Christmas") and [Boxing Day (St Stephen's Day)](/wiki/Boxing_Day "Boxing Day").
In 2014, the [Sejm](/wiki/Sejm "Sejm") rejected a civil law bill amending the Labour Code, which prohibits stores closing on Sundays.
Currently stores close earlier on – this being in the interest of workers and not regulated legally:

Employees are forbidden from working on [public holidays](/wiki/Public_holidays_in_Poland "Public holidays in Poland"). Only owners and contract workers can sell during holidays. Petrol stations and pharmacies are exempt from this restriction.

A debate within Poland's parliament is currently discussing the draft bill from the largest trade union, [Solidarność](/wiki/Solidarity_%28Polish_trade_union%29 "Solidarity (Polish trade union)"), which submitted the bill to parliament to restrict retail trade on Sundays in late 2016\.{{cite web\|title\=Trade ban on Sundays\|url\=http://www.money.pl/gospodarka/wiadomosci/artykul/jaroslaw\-kaczynski\-zakaz\-handlu\-w\-niedziele,253,0,2298365\.html\|access\-date\=11 April 2017\|date\=11 April 2017}} The ban on Sunday trading would affect most retail outlets, with some exceptions as pharmacies, bakeries (until 13\.00\), flower stores, religious stores and restaurants.
It would be forbidden, according to the bill, to open on all Sundays, apart from the following exceptions:
* Third Sunday of Advent;
* Fourth Sunday of Advent;
* [Palm Sunday (last Sunday before Easter)](/wiki/Palm_Sunday "Palm Sunday")
* last Sunday in January, April, June and August.
Furthermore, store openings would be restricted to opening on the following days to 14\.00:
* [Easter Saturday](/wiki/Easter_Saturday "Easter Saturday")
* [Christmas Eve](/wiki/Christmas_Eve "Christmas Eve")
In March 2018 a new Polish law took effect, banning nearly all commerce on Sundays (except for the first and last Sunday of each month in 2018 and the last one in 2019\), with supermarkets and most other retailers closed on Sundays for the first time since liberal shopping laws were introduced in the 1990s. The law had been passed by the [Law and Justice](/wiki/Law_and_Justice "Law and Justice") party,{{cite news\|url\=https://www.usnews.com/news/business/articles/2018\-03\-11/most\-stores\-shut\-in\-poland\-as\-sunday\-trade\-ban\-takes\-effect\|title\=Most Stores Shut in Poland as Sunday Trade Ban Takes Effect\|date\=11 March 2018\|first\=Vanessa\|last\=Gera\|website\=US News\|agency\=Associated Press}}{{cite web\|url\=https://globalnews.ca/news/4076186/poland\-sunday\-shopping\-ban/\|title\=Stores shut across Poland as Sunday shopping ban takes effect\|website\=Global News}}{{Cite journal\|url\=https://www.rte.ie/news/2018/0311/946597\-poland\-shopping/\|title\=Sunday trading ban comes into effect in Poland\|date\=11 March 2018\|via\=rte.ie}}{{cite web\|url\=http://archiwum.thenews.pl/1/2/Artykul/353341,Stores\-closed\-as\-Poland\-phases\-out\-Sunday\-shopping\|title\=Stores closed as Poland phases out Sunday shopping\|website\=Polskie Radio dla Zagranicy}} with support of the [Catholic Church](/wiki/Catholic_Church "Catholic Church").{{cite web \|last1\=Mbakwe \|first1\=Tola \|date\=12 March 2018 \|title\=Catholic church welcomes Sunday trading ban in Poland \|url\=https://premierchristian.news/en/news/article/catholic\-church\-welcomes\-sunday\-trading\-ban\-in\-poland \|access\-date\=19 April 2023 \|publisher\=\[\[Premier Christian Radio]] \|language\=en}}{{cite web \|title\=Polish bishops for total ban on Sunday shopping \|url\=https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs\-news\-from\-elsewhere\-41025700 \|publisher\=BBC News \|access\-date\=19 April 2023 \|language\=English \|date\=23 August 2017}}
##### Spain
Commercial liberalisation during the 1980s allowed Sunday shopping with no restrictions. However, due to pressure from the small independent shops, certain restrictions were introduced in the 1990s.
In June 2000, measures were adopted to liberalise shop opening hours, causing great controversy. The regional governments, the employers' associations representing small and medium\-sized retailers and the trade unions opposed the reform. The CEOE employers' confederation and the employers' associations representing large retailers were in favour of the changes.[Controversy over liberalisation of shop opening hours](http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/eiro/2000/07/feature/es0007201f.htm), *EIRO online*, 2000
Currently, each [autonomous community](/wiki/Autonomous_communities_of_Spain "Autonomous communities of Spain") may establish its own Sunday opening calendar. The general trend is to allow Sunday opening once a month (usually the first Sunday) and every Sunday during special shopping seasons (including Christmas and sales). Certain sectors (including bars, restaurants, bakeries, pharmacies, fairly big convenience stores, small family\-run stores, and bookshops) are granted an exception and may open every Sunday with no restrictions. It is not hard to find a small grocery store open on Sunday in any Spanish town as of 2011\.
Religious concerns have been notably absent from the debate. The main bone of contention lies in the competition between big department stores, supermarkets and shopping centres, who push for complete liberalisation, and small family\-run shops, who cannot afford extra staff to open on Sundays.
In July 2012 all restrictions were lifted for the whole Madrid metropolitan area and all towns in Madrid province. Ever since shopping malls, supermarkets and shops in city centres of each city have started opening every Sunday.
Shops in towns and areas declared as touristic are allowed to open every Sunday. The list as of 2013 is quite extensive as it includes central [Madrid](/wiki/Madrid "Madrid"), most of Valencia municipality (including every shopping mall in the city), central Zaragoza, central Palma de Mallorca, most of the Catalan coastal area (except [Barcelona](/wiki/Barcelona "Barcelona")), most of the [Murcia](/wiki/Murcia "Murcia") coastal area, as well as many municipalities in the Madrid metropolitan area, the Andalusia coastal area and the [Valencia](/wiki/Valencia "Valencia") coastal area. Shopping malls and hypermarkets in these areas usually stay open every Sunday.
In Spain, where relatively few restrictions survive, small retail stores open 46 hours per week on average. This runs counter to the prediction that Sunday shopping hurts retailers by leading all of them to open longer hours.
##### Sweden
There is no law restricting the opening hours of shops. The only exception to this rule is the government\-owned liquor store monopoly [Systembolaget](/wiki/Systembolaget "Systembolaget"), which is not allowed to open on Sundays, and have to close at 20:00 on weekdays and 15:00 on Saturdays.
In Sweden, 15 years after the liberalisation, supply as regards shop opening hours has not yet standardised itself. On the contrary, if 80% of the department stores and supermarkets are open on Sunday, only half of corner shops and 48% of furniture stores are open on this day. This supports the argument that consumer preferences can point in the direction of an extension of shop opening hours in a given area without this need arising in another area.
#### Other European countries
##### Norway
In [Norway](/wiki/Norway "Norway") only petrol stations, flower nurseries and grocery shops that are smaller than {{convert\|100\|m2}} are allowed to operate on Sundays. For special occasions such as Christmas shopping there are exceptions.
##### Switzerland
Federal labour law in Switzerland generally prohibits the employment of staff on Sundays. The law provides for exceptions for very small shops, shops in certain tourist areas as well as shops in major train stations and airports. The latter provision was adopted in a 2005 popular referendum in which it was opposed by labour unions and conservative Christian groups. Moreover, the [cantons](/wiki/Swiss_cantons "Swiss cantons") may allow shops to open on up to four Sundays a year.
Pursuant to an ordinance of the [Federal Department of Economic Affairs](/wiki/Federal_Department_of_Economic_Affairs "Federal Department of Economic Affairs"), the following train stations and airports are allowed to include shops that are open on Sundays: [Aarau](/wiki/Aarau "Aarau"), [Baden](/wiki/Baden "Baden"), [Basel SBB](/wiki/Basel_SBB "Basel SBB"), [Bellinzona](/wiki/Bellinzona "Bellinzona"), [Bern](/wiki/Bern "Bern"), [Biel](/wiki/Biel "Biel"), [Brig](/wiki/Brig%2C_Switzerland "Brig, Switzerland"), [Chur](/wiki/Chur "Chur"), [Frauenfeld](/wiki/Frauenfeld "Frauenfeld"), [Fribourg](/wiki/Fribourg "Fribourg"), [Geneva](/wiki/Gen%C3%A8ve-Cornavin_railway_station "Genève-Cornavin railway station"), [Lausanne](/wiki/Lausanne "Lausanne"), [Lugano](/wiki/Lugano "Lugano"), [Lucerne](/wiki/Lucerne "Lucerne"), [Neuchâtel](/wiki/Neuch%C3%A2tel "Neuchâtel"), [Olten](/wiki/Olten "Olten"), [Schaffhausen](/wiki/Schaffhausen "Schaffhausen"), [Solothurn](/wiki/Solothurn "Solothurn"), [St. Gallen](/wiki/St._Gallen "St. Gallen"), [Thun](/wiki/Thun "Thun"), [Uster](/wiki/Uster "Uster"), [Visp](/wiki/Visp "Visp"), [Wil](/wiki/Wil "Wil"), [Winterthur](/wiki/Winterthur "Winterthur"), [Zug](/wiki/Zug "Zug"), [Zürich Enge](/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Enge_railway_station "Zürich Enge railway station"), [Zürich Hauptbahnhof](/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Hauptbahnhof "Zürich Hauptbahnhof"), [Zürich Oerlikon](/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Oerlikon_railway_station "Zürich Oerlikon railway station"), [Zürich Stadelhofen](/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Stadelhofen_railway_station "Zürich Stadelhofen railway station"); [Bern Airport](/wiki/Bern_Airport "Bern Airport"), [Geneva Cointrin International Airport](/wiki/Geneva_Cointrin_International_Airport "Geneva Cointrin International Airport"), [Lugano Airport](/wiki/Lugano_Airport "Lugano Airport"), [Sion](/wiki/Sion%2C_Switzerland "Sion, Switzerland") Airfield, [St. Gallen\-Altenrhein Airport](/wiki/St._Gallen-Altenrhein_Airport "St. Gallen-Altenrhein Airport"), [Zürich Airport](/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Airport "Zürich Airport").{{cite swiss law\|sr\=822\.112\.1\|link\=822\_112\_1\|art\=1\|de\=Verordnung des EVD zur Bezeichnung der Bahnhöfe und Flughäfen gemäss Artikel 26a Absatz 2 der Verordnung 2 zum Arbeitsgesetz}}
##### United Kingdom
###### England and Wales
By 1994, Sunday trading in [England and Wales](/wiki/England_and_Wales "England and Wales") was not generally permitted. This meant that shops such as [department stores](/wiki/Department_store "Department store") and supermarkets were not able to open legally. A number of specialist outlets were able to open legally, including [garden centres](/wiki/Garden_centre "Garden centre"), small "corner" or family\-run shops, and [chemists](/wiki/Dispensing_chemist "Dispensing chemist"). An earlier attempt by [Margaret Thatcher](/wiki/Margaret_Thatcher "Margaret Thatcher")'s government to allow Sunday shopping in 1986 was defeated in [Parliament](/wiki/Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom "Parliament of the United Kingdom"), with opposition coming from [Conservative](/wiki/Conservative_Party_%28UK%29 "Conservative Party (UK)") MPs who saw it as a threat to family life and church attendance, and [Labour](/wiki/Labour_Party_%28UK%29 "Labour Party (UK)") MPs who were concerned about workers' rights. This led to the formation of the [Keep Sunday Special](/wiki/Keep_Sunday_Special "Keep Sunday Special") campaign, backed by church groups and [USDAW](/wiki/USDAW "USDAW"), the trade union representing shop workers.
Several large retailers challenged the legal ruling in force, with some opening on Sundays from Christmas 1991 onwards {{cite web\|url\=http://archive.catholicherald.co.uk/article/28th\-december\-1990/4/the\-case\-for\-sunday\-trading\|title\=The Catholic Herald: The Debate for Sunday Trading\|access\-date\=2012\-10\-06}}Hansard [https://edm.parliament.uk/early\-day\-motion/4845](https://edm.parliament.uk/early-day-motion/4845) This led to the [Sunday Trading Act 1994](/wiki/Sunday_Trading_Act_1994 "Sunday Trading Act 1994") permitted "large shops" – those with a "relevant floor area" in excess of {{convert\|280\|m2\|ft2\|abbr\=on}}{{cite web\|url\=http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1994/20/schedule/1/data.htm\|title\=Sunday Trading Act 1994\|website\=legislation.gov.uk}} – to open for up to six hours on Sunday between the hours of 10 am and 6 pm. Small shops, those with an area of below 280 m2, are free to set their own Sunday trading times.{{cite web\|url\=https://www.gov.uk/trading\-hours\-for\-retailers\-the\-law\|title\=Trading hours for retailers: the law\|website\=GOV.UK}}
However, some large shops, such as [off\-licences](/wiki/Off-licence "Off-licence"), service stations and garages, are exempt from the restrictions.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/detail?itemId\=1073792286\&r.i\=1073792285\&r.l1\=1073861169\&r.l2\=1074400662\&r.l3\=1074014065\&r.t\=RESOURCES\&type\=RESOURCES\|title\=Business Link: Large shops which are exempt from Sunday trading rules}} Christmas Day and [Easter Sunday](/wiki/Easter_Sunday "Easter Sunday") have been excluded as trading days. This applies even to garden centres, which earlier had been trading over Easter, but not to small shops (those with an area of below 280 square metres). In 2006, the government considered further relaxation of the permitted hours of business but decided that there was no consensus for change, although a popular poll indicated differently.{{cite news

Since the 1994 Act allowed stores to open, stores seem to keep to it meticulously, perhaps more so than before when they were flagrantly breaching the law by opening at all.{{citation

}} However, there is a tendency to open half an hour earlier but not allow sales before the allotted time, to allow people to "browse" and thus effectively extend the opening hours of the store without breaking the law. For example, in Birmingham in 2005 several stores opened seven hours, 10\.30 am to 5\.30 pm, but would not have been able to sell throughout that time without breaking the law.{{citation

In July 2015 it was proposed that Sunday trading hours should become a devolved issue for local government. The Enterprise Bill 2015–16 introduced in September 2015 included a provision for major towns and cities to decide how long shops could open for on Sundays.

###### Scotland
Sunday trading laws in [Scotland](/wiki/Scotland "Scotland") are devolved to the [Scottish Parliament](/wiki/Scottish_Parliament "Scottish Parliament").
Scotland has never had any *general* legislation regarding Sunday trading. However, the [Sunday Working (Scotland) Act 2003](/wiki/Sunday_Working_%28Scotland%29_Act_2003 "Sunday Working (Scotland) Act 2003") prohibits shops from compelling their workers to work on Sunday. This lack of restriction allows opening hours of larger shops to be longer than in [England and Wales](/wiki/England_and_Wales "England and Wales") and [Northern Ireland](/wiki/Northern_Ireland "Northern Ireland"), and many large supermarkets remain open seven days a week with little or no adjustment of opening hours at the weekend. There is no equivalent to the legal restriction on Easter Sunday opening that exists in England and Wales, but opening on Christmas Day is very unusual.
Actual practice varies across the country according to local custom and local council regulation. In the [Western Isles](/wiki/Western_Isles "Western Isles"), where the [Free Church of Scotland](/wiki/Free_Church_of_Scotland_%28post_1900%29 "Free Church of Scotland (post 1900)") has a considerable following, there is virtually no commercial activity on Sundays until 6:45 am on Monday. In tourist and holiday areas there is typically an increase in the number of shops opening late and on Sundays during their particular tourist seasons.
Former restrictions include:
* Until 1994 barbers and hairdressers in Scotland were prohibited by s.67 of the [Shops Act 1950](/wiki/Shops_Act_1950 "Shops Act 1950") from carrying out their business on a Sunday.
* Until 2009 alcohol could not be sold until 12:30 pm. This has now changed to 10 am, the same as every other day of the week.{{cite web \| url\=http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/alcoholandbingedrinking/Outrage\-at\-drink\-sales\-for.5494208\.jp \|title \= Outrage at drink sales for Sunday morning}}
###### Northern Ireland
In [Northern Ireland](/wiki/Northern_Ireland "Northern Ireland"), Sunday trading is regulated under the Sunday Trading (Northern Ireland) Order 1997\. Opening hours are more limited for larger stores, or a floor area exceeding {{convert\|280\|m2\|0}}. Normally, a large shop may trade only between the hours of 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. This was to create a greater gap between Sunday services and the opening of large shops, in response to objections from churches, especially the Protestant churches, which have more influence than in the rest of the UK. Large shops within holiday resorts (designated by the district council) may opt for unrestricted trading hours on up to 18 Sundays (but not on [Easter](/wiki/Easter "Easter") Day) per calendar year between the dates of 1 March and 30 September. Shop owners in violation of the Sunday trading law may be fined up to £50,000\.
Pubs in Northern Ireland were not allowed to open on Sundays until 1989\.
### Asia
#### China
Very little regulation applies to Sunday trading. The majority of stores maintain similar opening hours as on a normal business day, while others have extended hours to accommodate the weekend shopping wave.
#### Hong Kong
While Sunday is a holiday or day of rest, shopping hours are not regulated and decided wholly by store owners.
Most of the shops open on Sunday from 10 am or 11 am to 10 pm or 11 pm.
#### Philippines
Sunday shopping is generally allowed in the predominantly [Catholic](/wiki/Catholic_Church_in_the_Philippines "Catholic Church in the Philippines") [Philippines](/wiki/Philippines "Philippines"), where families go out to major retailers, and even hear [Mass](/wiki/Mass_%28liturgy%29 "Mass (liturgy)") at purpose\-built mall chapels. Store hours on Sundays are usually the same as on Mondays to Thursdays, which tend to close earlier than on Fridays and Saturdays. During [Holy Week](/wiki/Holy_Week_in_the_Philippines "Holy Week in the Philippines"), the [three days preceding](/wiki/Easter_Triduum "Easter Triduum") Easter Sunday see stores closed or operating on shorter hours, as with many television and radio stations. All these completely reopen to full hours on Easter Sunday itself.
### Africa
#### South Africa
There are no specific restrictions on Sunday shopping in South Africa, but it tends to be limited to supermarkets and retail businesses in large shopping malls. This is likely a result of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, which requires that workers are paid 1\.5 times the normal rate on a Sunday.{{cite web \|url\=https://www.labour.gov.za/legislation/acts/basic\-guides/basic\-guide\-to\-working\-on\-sundays/ \|title\=Basic Guide to Working on Sundays \|publisher\=Department of Labour \|access\-date\=22 July 2012}} In addition, provincial liquor licensing usually restricts the sale of alcohol on a Sunday.
### North America
#### Canada
In Canada, each province and territory has its own legislation regarding employment standards and Sunday shopping.
In 1982, the [Supreme Court of Canada](/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_Canada "Supreme Court of Canada") upheld the *[Lord's Day Act](/wiki/Lord%27s_Day_Act_%28Canada%29 "Lord's Day Act (Canada)")*. However, at that time, only the [Canadian Bill of Rights](/wiki/Canadian_Bill_of_Rights "Canadian Bill of Rights") existed. That document only protected existing Canadian rights. As a result, the Court noted that Canada was an overwhelmingly Christian country that had accepted Sunday closing laws for years. The Court determined that the *Lord's Day Act* did not force people to practice Christianity or stop practising their own religion.
However, later that year, the [Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms](/wiki/Canadian_Charter_of_Rights_and_Freedoms "Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms") was introduced, ensuring freedom of conscience and religion, regardless of existing federal or provincial laws. On 24 April 1985, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the *Lord's Day Act* violated Canadians' freedom of religion. The 1985 ruling examined the original purpose of the act. It found that the Christian value of keeping Sunday holy had been incorporated into a law that affected all Canadians, Christian or not. This law—the *Lord's Day Act*—prevented non\-Christians from performing otherwise legal activities on Sundays. This was inconsistent with the Canadian charter.
##### Alberta
In 1984, the province of Alberta granted municipalities the right to allow, or prohibit, retail stores opening on Sundays. By the end of 1984, some stores in Edmonton were open on Sundays, but the controversy over Sunday openings continued for a number of years. In some communities in Alberta, the question was still being debated in 1990\.
##### Nova Scotia
Until October 4, 2006, [Nova Scotia](/wiki/Nova_Scotia "Nova Scotia") was the only province in Canada that prohibited year\-round Sunday shopping. An experiment with the practice was held in 2003 and in 2004 a [binding plebiscite was held](/wiki/Nova_Scotia_Sunday_shopping_referendum%2C_2004 "Nova Scotia Sunday shopping referendum, 2004") which resulted in 45% of voters in favour of Sunday shopping and 55% voting against the practice. The *Retail Business Uniform Closing Day Act* allowed some stores, such as video rental outlets, pharmacies and book stores, to open on Sundays, but department stores had to remain closed. The restrictions were based on the area of a store and its form of business.
By mid\-2006, several grocers in Nova Scotia including [Pete's Frootique](/wiki/Pete_Luckett "Pete Luckett") and larger chains such as [Atlantic Superstore](/wiki/Atlantic_Superstore "Atlantic Superstore") and [Sobeys](/wiki/Sobeys "Sobeys") circumvented the law by reconfiguring their stores on Sundays into separate businesses, each of which was small enough in area to be exempt from the *Retail Business Uniform Closing Day Act*. For example, a Halifax\-area Sobeys location was known as the "Sobeys Queen Street Mall" and housed the Sobeys Retail Fish Store Ltd., Sobeys Fruit Stand Ltd., Sobeys Bakery and Bulk Food Ltd. and eight other separate "businesses".
On June 23, 2006, the [Premier of Nova Scotia](/wiki/Premier_of_Nova_Scotia "Premier of Nova Scotia"), [Rodney MacDonald](/wiki/Rodney_MacDonald "Rodney MacDonald"), announced new limits on Sunday shopping as a means to honour the wishes of voters in the 2004 plebiscite. The proposed new regulations prohibited grocers and other retailers from opening if they reconfigured their businesses as separate operating units after 1 June 2006\. The premier also announced that he would seek the views of the public in a new plebiscite to coincide with municipal elections scheduled for 2008\.
On July 2, 2006, members of the [Halifax Regional Police](/wiki/Halifax_Regional_Police "Halifax Regional Police") entered the Barrington Street [Atlantic Superstore](/wiki/Atlantic_Superstore "Atlantic Superstore") in Halifax with measuring tapes and began an investigation to see if the grocer was in compliance with the *Retail Business Uniform Closing Day Act*. Three days later, on July 5, 2006, [Sobeys](/wiki/Sobeys "Sobeys") filed a motion in the [Supreme Court of Nova Scotia](/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_Nova_Scotia "Supreme Court of Nova Scotia") to have the *Retail Business Uniform Closing Day Act* and the new regulations announced by Premier MacDonald to be declared invalid. Sobeys was joined by [Atlantic Superstore](/wiki/Atlantic_Superstore "Atlantic Superstore") in the case, who entered by seeking intervener status.
[Sobeys](/wiki/Sobeys "Sobeys") felt that the law was unjust since it permitted competitors such as [Pete's Frootique](/wiki/Pete_Luckett "Pete Luckett") in Bedford to open Sundays. Pete's Frootique had taken the provincial government to court seven years earlier and won the right to open on Sundays with its separate operating divisions, thus it was "grandfathered" in the new regulations announced by Premier MacDonald.
On 4 October 2006, the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia ruled that the Government of Nova Scotia had overstepped its authority by forcing the supermarkets to close. In response, Premier Rodney MacDonald announced that effective Sunday, October 8, Sunday shopping would be an unrestricted option open to all retail stores, and can be open on all holidays except Remembrance Day, for which there was a separate provincial law forcing all businesses to close. Since then, Sunday shopping has been adopted throughout the province.
##### Ontario
[thumb\|right\|Sunday Laws in Ontario, 1911](/wiki/File:Ontario_Sunday_Laws.jpg "Ontario Sunday Laws.jpg")
After the demise of the *Lord's Day Act*, the *Retail Business Holidays Act* of Ontario still prohibited most stores from opening on Sundays. However, there were exceptions to these rules (for example, gas stations, convenience stores, tourist areas). Many store owners who opposed the law decided to open their stores on Sundays, knowing they were breaking the law. Some, such as [Marc Emery](/wiki/Marc_Emery "Marc Emery"), were jailed for doing so.
In June 1990, the Supreme Court of Ontario found the act to be unconstitutional. As a result, Ontario had nine months of open\-wide Sunday shopping, until the [Ontario Court of Appeal](/wiki/Ontario_Court_of_Appeal "Ontario Court of Appeal")'s reversal of the decision in March 1991\.{{cite report\|url\=http://arts.uwaterloo.ca/\~skuterud/eer.pdf\|url\-status\=dead\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20060911092919/http://arts.uwaterloo.ca/\~skuterud/eer.pdf\|archive\-date\=11 September 2006\|title\=The Impact of Sunday Shopping on Employment and Hours of Work in the Retail Industry: Evidence from Canada\|first\=Mikal\|last\=Skuterud\|publisher\=Statistics Canada}}
However, public opposition to Sunday closing continued to rise. Bowing to public pressure, the [Rae government](/wiki/Bob_Rae%23Premier "Bob Rae#Premier") amended the *Retail Business Holidays Act* in June 1992 to permit Sunday shopping in Ontario.{{cite news \|title\=Ontario allows Sunday shopping \|newspaper\=Edmonton Journal \|date\=4 June 1992 \|page\=A10}}
##### Other Canadian provinces
Several other provinces have restrictions of some degree on Sunday shopping.
In [Prince Edward Island](/wiki/Prince_Edward_Island "Prince Edward Island"), it is only permitted after 12 noon from the Sunday before Victoria Day until Christmas Eve. This was repealed on November 25, 2010, allowing stores to open at any time on Sunday year\-round.
In [Manitoba](/wiki/Manitoba "Manitoba"), it is up to each municipality for approval. As of January 2021, Sunday shopping is permitted without restrictions.
In [New Brunswick](/wiki/New_Brunswick "New Brunswick"), the decisions require dual approval from municipal and provincial officials (although that is in the process of being changed), otherwise it is only permitted from August to the first Sunday in January. Some cities restrict Sunday hours to 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm. [Fredericton](/wiki/Fredericton "Fredericton") has recently (as of August 12, 2013\) passed a law revoking any restrictions on Sunday shopping hours.
In the 1990s, [Quebec](/wiki/Quebec "Quebec") allowed wide\-open shopping from 8:00 am until 5:00 pm the exception being grocery stores that could remain open later, but they could not have more than four employees on staff after 5:00 pm. The law was changed in the 2000s to allow supermarkets to remain open until 8:00\.
pm with an unlimited number of employees.
Other provinces allow wide\-open shopping all day on most Sundays (except when it falls on a holiday or when objected by municipalities).
[Newfoundland and Labrador](/wiki/Newfoundland_and_Labrador "Newfoundland and Labrador") lifted restrictions on retail stores operating on Sundays starting on January 1, 1998\.{{cite web\|title\=News Release: Sunday Shopping\|url\=http://www.releases.gov.nl.ca/releases/1997/envlab/1212n01\.htm\|access\-date\=2 March 2014}}
#### United States
{{More citations needed section\|date\=November 2011}}
Many states in the United States have reduced hours of operation on Sundays in some form or another. A few local municipalities still prohibit Sunday shopping. Some local jurisdictions have regulations on if and when bars and restaurants may be open on Sundays.
##### New Jersey
One of the last major areas to completely prohibit Sunday shopping is [Bergen County, New Jersey](/wiki/Bergen_County%2C_New_Jersey "Bergen County, New Jersey").{{cite news \|first\= Charles\|last\= Strum\|title\=Sunday\-Closing Law Retained in New Jersey County \|url\=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res\=9F0CE7D8143CF930A35752C1A965958260 \|work\=The New York Times \|date\=3 November 1993 \|access\-date\=2008\-06\-25 }} This area contains one of the largest and most popular commercial shopping cores of the [New York metropolitan area](/wiki/New_York_metropolitan_area "New York metropolitan area") (for example, one of four local [IKEA](/wiki/IKEA "IKEA") stores is found here, the store is the only one in the United States to be closed on Sunday, and is also home to four large shopping malls). Ironically, the area is not considered to be particularly very religious compared to the U.S. population at large, and it also has significant [Jewish](/wiki/American_Jews "American Jews") and [Muslim](/wiki/Islam_in_the_United_States "Islam in the United States") populations whose observant members would not be celebrating the Sabbath on Sunday. Attempts to repeal the law have failed as many locals either like to keep the law on the books as a protest against the growing trend of increased Sunday shopping activity in American society or fear the potential increase of Sunday traffic on major local roads such as [Route 4](/wiki/New_Jersey_Route_4 "New Jersey Route 4") or [Route 17](/wiki/New_Jersey_Route_17 "New Jersey Route 17"). Some local [Orthodox Jews](/wiki/Orthodox_Judaism "Orthodox Judaism") who are off both days of the weekend have complained about the law because it limits their ability to get shopping done on the weekend without having to travel to a neighboring county as religious beliefs prohibit shopping on [Friday night or on Saturday before nightfall](/wiki/Shabbat "Shabbat"), which in the summer can be right before most department stores and malls close. Governor [Chris Christie](/wiki/Chris_Christie "Chris Christie") made an unsuccessful attempt in 2010 to remove the law bringing extra tax revenue for the state budget, then in 2012, he suspended the law after [Hurricane Sandy](/wiki/Hurricane_Sandy "Hurricane Sandy") which lasted for one Sunday, but went back into effect later.
##### North Dakota
[North Dakota](/wiki/North_Dakota "North Dakota") has one of the toughest blue laws in the United States, this requires all stores to be closed from midnight to noon on Sundays. This was changed in 1991\. Prior to this, all sales were prohibited on a Sunday.{{cite news\|url\=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/02/12/us/for\-north\-dakota\-shoppers\-no\-more\-minnesota\-sundays.html\|title\=For North Dakota Shoppers, No More Minnesota Sundays\|agency\=Associated Press\|work\=The New York Times\|date\=12 February 1991\|access\-date\=30 January 2012}}
##### Georgia and Oklahoma
[Georgia](/wiki/Georgia_%28US_state%29 "Georgia (US state)") and Oklahoma require liquor stores to be closed on Sundays, as did Minnesota until 2017\.{{Cite news\|url\=https://www.reuters.com/article/us\-minnesota\-alcohol\-idUSKBN16F29W\|title\=Minnesota governor signs law allowing Sunday liquor sales\|date\=2017\-03\-08\|work\=Reuters\|access\-date\=2020\-03\-10\|language\=en}} However, alcohol can still be served in restaurants and bars on Sunday unless local (county or city) ordinances prohibit or restrict their doing so. For instance, in Georgia, most of the [Metro Atlanta](/wiki/Metro_Atlanta "Metro Atlanta") area counties serve alcohol at restaurants and bars, but the establishments must have a certain amount of food sales in order to be opened and serve alcohol on Sundays. Yet many of Georgia's rural counties and some outer metropolitan Atlanta counties, such as [Barrow County](/wiki/Bartow_County%2C_Georgia "Bartow County, Georgia"), remain completely dry on Sundays. In those counties on Sundays, bars are closed, and restaurants are allowed to operate but are prohibited from serving alcohol. There was discussion in the Georgia legislature in the late 2000s (decade) to repeal the state's blue laws regarding Sunday retail alcohol sales in a measure to increase tax revenue. However, then\-Governor [Sonny Perdue](/wiki/Sonny_Perdue "Sonny Perdue") said that he would not sign the bills repealing the laws if they passed in Georgia's state house and senate. In Oklahoma, it is illegal to sell packaged liquor (off\-premises sales) on Sundays, as well as Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
##### Virginia
[Virginia](/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Virginia "Commonwealth of Virginia") prohibits [hard liquor](/wiki/Hard_liquor "Hard liquor") sales except through stores operated by its state\-owned [Alcoholic Beverage Commission](/wiki/Alcoholic_beverage_control_state "Alcoholic beverage control state") (ABC), which sets hours for its own stores and currently dictates that all or almost all of its establishments are to remain closed on Sundays. In this way, the combination of state\-enforced monopoly and state\-sanctioned authority to set hours results in a *de facto* prohibition on Sunday hard liquor sales in Virginia. Although grocery and convenience stores may sell beer and wine containing 14% or less alcohol by volume, state law permits localities to prohibit Sunday sales of these alcoholic beverages as well.
##### North Carolina
[North Carolina](/wiki/North_Carolina "North Carolina") only permits hard liquor to be sold through state\-controlled stores that are almost all closed on Sundays. Beer and wine may be sold in grocery and convenience stores, but only after noon on Sunday.
##### District of Columbia
The [District of Columbia](/wiki/Washington%2C_D.C. "Washington, D.C.") prohibits sales of alcohol by liquor stores on Sundays. Grocery stores and retailers selling alcohol to be consumed on their premises are not subject to this prohibition.{{cite web \|title\=Laws and Regulations \|work\=Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration \|publisher\=District of Columbia \|access\-date\=18 December 2011 \|url\=http://abra.dc.gov/DC/ABRA/About\+ABRA/Frequently\+Asked\+Questions/Laws\+and\+Regulations?detailBean\=contentBean\#4 }}
##### Others
Some states, including Indiana and Pennsylvania, also prohibit car dealerships from selling vehicles on Sunday.
### South America
Sunday shopping is allowed in every country. Most shopping malls and supermarkets stay open every Sunday in Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia etc.
Sunday opening became widespread in most of South America by the early 1980s.
### Oceania
#### Australia

The situation in Australia is not uniform, as each of its [states and territories](/wiki/States_and_territories_of_Australia "States and territories of Australia") has its own laws. Historically, shops closed for the weekend on Saturday afternoons, with South Australia being the first state to allow Saturday afternoon opening. Most states now allow Sunday opening, with unregulated trading in NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory.
Certain shops are generally made exempt, or partially exempt, from trading hours laws (including restrictions on Sunday trading) under certain conditions. Shops that are not exempt from trading hours restrictions are referred to as "general" or "non\-exempt" shops. Although these vary from state to state, generally speaking, exemptions can be based on one or more of the following:
* a maximum number of employees employed by the shop, or staffed at any one time (for example, [New South Wales](/wiki/New_South_Wales "New South Wales") exempts shops with no more than four staff at any one timeState of [New South Wales](/wiki/New_South_Wales "New South Wales") (2 January 2006\).

* by the type of goods the shop sells – for example, hardware and furniture shops are often partially exempted, while shops such as newsagents, flowers, certain food shops (other than supermarkets) and chemists are often fully exempt, or
* by its location, often in significant tourist areas – either by inclusion,[Queensland](/wiki/Queensland "Queensland") Government Department of Employment and Industrial Relations.

Retrieved 8 November 2010\.
Under the current act, Sunday trading is unrestricted; however, retail shops must close on Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and until 1 pm on ANZAC Day, unless exempted.

Prior to these laws, shops not generally exempted were required to apply to trade on Sunday and other public holidays, to be granted if the shop was "serving predominantly the tourist or visitor trade, significant public demand or operates in a holiday resort area".New South Wales Government Office of Industrial Relations. [Regulation of Shop Trading Hours in NSW – An Outline](http://www.industrialrelations.nsw.gov.au/about/services/licensing/retail.html). Retrieved 2008\-03\-21\. In practice however, Sunday trading remained commonplace.
##### Victoria
Trading hours are deregulated in [Victoria](/wiki/Victoria_%28Australia%29 "Victoria (Australia)"); shopping is allowed at any time, except for [Anzac Day](/wiki/Anzac_Day "Anzac Day") morning (before 1 pm), [Good Friday](/wiki/Good_Friday "Good Friday") and Christmas Day. Victoria is also famous for first introducing round\-the\-clock 36\-hour shopping before Christmas, even if this fell on a Sunday. In Victoria [Boxing Day](/wiki/Boxing_Day "Boxing Day") is also one of the busiest days of the shopping year, and many stores are open through extended hours even if it falls on a Sunday. Victoria is one of only a select number of states which feature 24\-hour Kmart stores, open every day of the year except for Christmas Day.
##### Queensland
Non\-exempt shops in [Queensland](/wiki/Queensland "Queensland") are permitted to trade from 9 am to 6 pm and from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm in certain coastal towns north of Brisbane. Permission for regional cities to trade on Sundays is made by the local council that governs it.
##### South Australia
South Australia introduced Sunday trading for non\-exempt shops in 2003\. Non\-exempt shops are restricted to opening between 9 am and 5 pm in the [Adelaide](/wiki/Adelaide%2C_South_Australia "Adelaide, South Australia") metropolitan area. Trading hours are also restricted in a number of "Proclaimed Shopping Districts" in country South Australia, where non\-exempt shops must remain closed on Sunday. Local governments can apply to have their Proclaimed Shopping District altered or abolished.Government of South Australia (25 January 2007\).

"French laws about Sunday shopping are complex. Although Sunday shopping is generally not permitted, there are many exceptions such as certain zones and municipalities of the metropolitan areas of Paris, Marseille, and Lille; as well as around 500 cities that were declared as tourist towns, including major cities such as Nice, Le Havre, Vannes and Bordeaux. Most major stores nationwide open every Sunday in December prior to Christmas. Supermarkets (but not hypermarkets) are allowed to open nationwide every Sunday morning until 13:00 for grocery shopping. The relaxation in rules in 2009 allowed all stores to open in tourist areas (before, only sports, toys and cultural shops were allowed). The most visible result is that now clothing stores open every Sunday in places such as Champs Elysees in Paris, La Défense, central Marseille, central Cannes and central Nice.{{cite web\\|url\\=https://about\\-france.com/shopping\\-in\\-france.htm\\|title\\=Shopping in France, hours chains and general guidance\\|website\\=about\\-france.com}}",

The 1956 law required shops to close for the weekend at 2 pm on a Saturday and 6:30 pm on week\\-nights, with opening until 6 pm on the first Saturday of the month, in what was known as the *Langer Samstag*, or \"long Saturday\". The law was changed, in the face of strong resistance from labour unions, to allow *langer Donnerstag* (\"long Thursday\") until 8:30 pm in 1988, and in 1996 opening times were extended to 8 pm from Monday to Friday and 4 pm on Saturday; this was extended to 8 pm on Saturday in 2004\\.[Studies relaunch debate on further liberalisation of shop opening hours](http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/eiro/1999/12/feature/de9912230f.htm), *EIRO online*, 1999",

"Studies on the German deregulation find that, far from causing an increase in consumer prices, the liberalisation lowered prices to some extent, though revenue was unaffected. This decrease in prices was probably driven by productivity increases created by the smoothing of consumer traffic over a longer period of time and the greater ability of consumers to compare prices in a deregulated environment.{{cite web\\|url\\=https://iea.org.uk/blog/regulating\\-shop\\-opening\\-hours\\-harms\\-both\\-consumers\\-and\\-workers\\|title\\=Regulating shop opening hours harms both consumers and workers\\|website\\=Institute of Economic Affairs\\|first\\=Karthik\\|last\\=Reddy\\|date\\=16 August 2011}}",

In major cities (such as such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht) most shops are open every Sunday from 1200\\-1700 or 1800\\. Nationwide, most supermarkets are open on a Sunday although opening hours vary. In the Christian\\-dominated [Bible Belt](/wiki/Bible_Belt_%28Netherlands%29 \"Bible Belt (Netherlands)\") area, most shops stay closed on Sundays due to severe pressure from conservative Christians claiming Sunday as a day for worship and rest only. In the past, municipalities would allow shops to open on particular Sundays, often once a month, and these would be known as a *koopzondag* in [Dutch](/wiki/Dutch_language \"Dutch language\"), literally a \"Sunday of buying\".",

"In June 2000, measures were adopted to liberalise shop opening hours, causing great controversy. The regional governments, the employers' associations representing small and medium\\-sized retailers and the trade unions opposed the reform. The CEOE employers' confederation and the employers' associations representing large retailers were in favour of the changes.[Controversy over liberalisation of shop opening hours](http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/eiro/2000/07/feature/es0007201f.htm), *EIRO online*, 2000",
"Currently, each [autonomous community](/wiki/Autonomous_communities_of_Spain \"Autonomous communities of Spain\") may establish its own Sunday opening calendar. The general trend is to allow Sunday opening once a month (usually the first Sunday) and every Sunday during special shopping seasons (including Christmas and sales). Certain sectors (including bars, restaurants, bakeries, pharmacies, fairly big convenience stores, small family\\-run stores, and bookshops) are granted an exception and may open every Sunday with no restrictions. It is not hard to find a small grocery store open on Sunday in any Spanish town as of 2011\\.",
"Religious concerns have been notably absent from the debate. The main bone of contention lies in the competition between big department stores, supermarkets and shopping centres, who push for complete liberalisation, and small family\\-run shops, who cannot afford extra staff to open on Sundays.",
"In July 2012 all restrictions were lifted for the whole Madrid metropolitan area and all towns in Madrid province. Ever since shopping malls, supermarkets and shops in city centres of each city have started opening every Sunday.",
"Shops in towns and areas declared as touristic are allowed to open every Sunday.

Shopping malls and hypermarkets in these areas usually stay open every Sunday.",
"In Spain, where relatively few restrictions survive, small retail stores open 46 hours per week on average. This runs counter to the prediction that Sunday shopping hurts retailers by leading all of them to open longer hours.",
"##### Sweden",

"In Sweden, 15 years after the liberalisation, supply as regards shop opening hours has not yet standardised itself. On the contrary, if 80% of the department stores and supermarkets are open on Sunday, only half of corner shops and 48% of furniture stores are open on this day.

#### European Union
EU law allows each Member State to set its own policy concerning work on Sundays. Working time in EU member states is addressed in the [Working Time Directive](/wiki/Working_Time_Directive "Working Time Directive"): only a weekly rest after six days of work is required. The [European Court of Justice](/wiki/European_Court_of_Justice "European Court of Justice") in its case law on the subject, built from the 1980s, has not confirmed that Sunday should forcibly be the day of interruption. For the European Commission, "the choice of a closing day of shopping involves historical, cultural, touristic, social and religious considerations within the discretion of each Member State".Exposé des motifs de la proposition de loi visant à modifier l'article L. 221\-5 du code du travail afin de permettre l'ouverture des commerces le dimanche [http://www.assemblee\-nationale.fr/12/propositions/pion3262\.asp](http://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/12/propositions/pion3262.asp)
The following European Union countries currently allow all shops to open for at least part of every Sunday: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Sweden.
The following European Union countries currently allow shops to open every Sunday in towns and cities designated as tourist destinations and currently have a very extensive list of them that includes capitals and major cities: Belgium, France and Spain.
In Malta, restrictions were lifted in early 2017, and grocery shops are now allowed to open; other stores have to pay a weekly fee of €700 to be allowed to legally trade on Sundays.[Sunday shopping restrictions lifted](http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20170110/local/sunday-shopping-restrictions-lifted.636152) − Times of Malta
##### Belgium
Shops in [Belgium](/wiki/Belgium "Belgium") may open on a certain number of Sunday afternoons.{{citation needed\|date\=April 2013}} In March 2006, the number of Sunday opening days increased from three to up to nine. Six of these are determined by the federal government and three may be determined by municipalities. In addition, the criteria which a municipality must meet to be recognised as a "tourist centre" were relaxed.
There are also arrangements for food stores to open on Sunday and wider arrangements for Sunday opening of certain sectors such as furniture stores, DIY stores and garden centres.

The Roman Catholic Church and some other minor organisations tried to influence the [Croatian](/wiki/Croatia "Croatia") Government in order for Sunday shopping to be banned. Although it had worked for some time, the [Croatian Constitutional Court](/wiki/Constitutional_Court_of_the_Republic_of_Croatia "Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia") declared banning Sunday shopping to be unconstitutional, and on 28 April 2004 issued a decision making it legal.{{cite journal \| url\=http://www.nn.hr/clanci/sluzbeno/2004/1251\.htm \| language \= hr \| title \= Odluka \| trans\-title \= Decision \| date \= 28 April 2004 \| journal \= \[\[Narodne novine]] \| issue \= 2004/55 \| author \= Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia}} The Church admitted defeat in the battle over closing shops on Sundays.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.nacional.hr/en/articles/view/29143/ \|title\=Church admits defeat in battle over closing shops on Sundays \|author\=Robert Bajruši \|date\=14 November 2006 \|access\-date\=8 July 2012 \|url\-status\=live \|archive\-date\=17 July 2012 \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20120717003633/http://www.nacional.hr/en/clanak/29143/church\-admits\-defeat\-in\-battle\-over\-closing\-shops\-on\-sundays \|publisher\=\[\[Nacional (weekly)]] }}{{cite web\|url\=http://www.nacional.hr/clanak/29063/crkva\-je\-priznala\-poraz\-u\-borbi\-za\-neradnu\-nedjelju \|author\=Robert Bajruši \|work\=\[\[Nacional (weekly)\|Nacional]] \|language\=hr \|date\=14 November 2006 \|title\=Crkva je priznala poraz u borbi za neradnu nedjelju \|trans\-title\=Church concedes struggle for free Sundays \|access\-date\=8 July 2012 \|archive\-date\=18 June 2013 \|url\-status\=live \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20130618141906/http://www.nacional.hr/clanak/29063/crkva\-je\-priznala\-poraz\-u\-borbi\-za\-neradnu\-nedjelju }} However, on 15 July 2008, the [Croatian Parliament](/wiki/Croatian_Parliament "Croatian Parliament"), again under pressure from the Catholic Church; passed a new\-old law banning Sunday shopping effective 1 January 2009\.

##### Denmark
In [Denmark](/wiki/Denmark "Denmark"), the closing laws restricting retail trade on Sundays have been abolished with effect from 1 October 2012\. From then on, retail trade is only restricted on public holidays (New Years Day, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, Day of Prayer, Ascension Day, Whit Sunday, Whit Monday, Christmas Day and Boxing Day) and on Constitution Day, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve (on New Year's Eve from 3 pm only). On these days, almost all shops will remain closed. Exempt are bakeries, DIYs, garden centres, filling stations and smaller supermarkets.{{cite news\|url\=https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/2010/543\|title\=Lov om ændring af lov om detailsalg fra butikker m.v.\|language\=da\|website\=Retsinformation}}
Hyper\- and supermarkets are typically open on Sundays from 7 am or 8 am until 8 pm or even until 10 pm.
##### Finland
{{As of\|2009\|12}}, [opening hours](/wiki/Shopping_hours%23Finland "Shopping hours#Finland"), including Sunday shopping, for stores with a commercial floor area of less than 400 m2 are unregulated.

##### France
French laws about Sunday shopping are complex. Although Sunday shopping is generally not permitted, there are many exceptions such as certain zones and municipalities of the metropolitan areas of Paris, Marseille, and Lille; as well as around 500 cities that were declared as tourist towns, including major cities such as Nice, Le Havre, Vannes and Bordeaux. Most major stores nationwide open every Sunday in December prior to Christmas. Supermarkets (but not hypermarkets) are allowed to open nationwide every Sunday morning until 13:00 for grocery shopping. The relaxation in rules in 2009 allowed all stores to open in tourist areas (before, only sports, toys and cultural shops were allowed). The most visible result is that now clothing stores open every Sunday in places such as Champs Elysees in Paris, La Défense, central Marseille, central Cannes and central Nice.{{cite web\|url\=https://about\-france.com/shopping\-in\-france.htm\|title\=Shopping in France, hours chains and general guidance\|website\=about\-france.com}}
In 2008, the Swedish furniture chain [IKEA](/wiki/IKEA "IKEA") was fined €450,000 (over $700,000\) for trading on Sundays under the law of 1906\.{{citation

}} Within the current law, IKEA stores in France are allowed to open on a Sunday. However, only the ones in the Paris metropolitan area actually do so.
##### Germany
In Germany, opening hours have long been restricted through the [Ladenschlussgesetz](/wiki/Ladenschlussgesetz "Ladenschlussgesetz"). The 1956 law required shops to close for the weekend at 2 pm on a Saturday and 6:30 pm on week\-nights, with opening until 6 pm on the first Saturday of the month, in what was known as the *Langer Samstag*, or "long Saturday". The law was changed, in the face of strong resistance from labour unions, to allow *langer Donnerstag* ("long Thursday") until 8:30 pm in 1988, and in 1996 opening times were extended to 8 pm from Monday to Friday and 4 pm on Saturday; this was extended to 8 pm on Saturday in 2004\.[Studies relaunch debate on further liberalisation of shop opening hours](http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/eiro/1999/12/feature/de9912230f.htm), *EIRO online*, 1999
In 2004, the Federal Constitutional Court ruled against lifting restrictions on Sunday opening, which is still confined to some small bakeries and convenience stores inside railway stations and airports.{{cite news \| url\=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/3792015\.stm \| title\=Germany rejects Sunday shopping
\| date\=9 June 2004 \|publisher\=BBC}}
In 2006 and 2007, the responsibility for opening hours was transferred to the [state](/wiki/States_of_Germany "States of Germany") governments instead of the federal government, leading to an end to regulated Monday–Saturday opening hours in several states.
Studies on the German deregulation find that, far from causing an increase in consumer prices, the liberalisation lowered prices to some extent, though revenue was unaffected. This decrease in prices was probably driven by productivity increases created by the smoothing of consumer traffic over a longer period of time and the greater ability of consumers to compare prices in a deregulated environment.{{cite web\|url\=https://iea.org.uk/blog/regulating\-shop\-opening\-hours\-harms\-both\-consumers\-and\-workers\|title\=Regulating shop opening hours harms both consumers and workers\|website\=Institute of Economic Affairs\|first\=Karthik\|last\=Reddy\|date\=16 August 2011}}
However, there is still strong resistance to Sunday shopping from clergy and politicians.
As of 2013, the number of Sunday shopping days per year became regulated by the local government bodies. Berlin,{{cite news \| url\=http://www.berlin.de/tourismus/infos/1740536\-1721039\-ladenoeffnungszeiten\-sonntagsverkauf.html \| title\=Ladenöffnungszeiten \& Sonntagsverkauf \| publisher\=berlin.de}} for example, allowed 10 Sundays each year in 2013, reduced to 8 Sundays in 2014, of which two must be during the month before Christmas. In addition, a few supermarkets, located at major subway/railway stations, are allowed to be open for Sunday shopping all year.
Several major railway stations are permitted to operate their shops, such as grocery stores, bookstores, and drug stores, on Sundays.
##### Hungary
{{unreferenced section\|date\=July 2015}}
[thumb\|right\|200px\|A billboard erected in Budapest's III district by the opposition MKKP\-Vastagbőr alignment](/wiki/File:Welcome_to_Hungary_%28Closed_on_Sundays%29.jpg "Welcome to Hungary (Closed on Sundays).jpg")
Until 15 March 2015, shopping hours in Hungary were unregulated. Most convenience stores and general stores were open on a Sunday, even if only in the mornings. Larger stores (typically those above {{convert\|5000\|to\|15000\|m2\|sqft\|abbr\=on\|sigfig\=2\|disp\=comma}}), such as Tesco [hypermarkets](/wiki/Hypermarkets "Hypermarkets")) were open [24 hours a day, 7 days a week](/wiki/24/7 "24/7") ({{lang\-hu\|non\-stop or 'éjjel\-nappali'}}).
From 15 March 2015, new regulations banned shops from opening on Sundays. The new regulation only allowed trading by shops with an area no greater than {{convert\|200\|m2\|ft2}}, and even then only if they are operated by the owner or a close family member related by blood or marriage. The general exception from the law is the four Sundays in [Advent](/wiki/Advent "Advent") and one day that the shops can choose themselves. [Lidl](/wiki/Lidl "Lidl") chooses to open and close different stores on different Sundays, and lists which will be open in its [flysheets](/wiki/Flyer_%28pamphlet%29 "Flyer (pamphlet)").
Due to these rules being unpopular amongst the general public, a referendum was also planned against a Sunday shopping ban. From 17 April 2016, the shopping hours in Hungary are again unregulated. On public holidays (1 January, 15 March, Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, 1 May, Pentecost Sunday and Monday, 20 August, 23 October, 1 November, 25 and 26 December), all shops have to be closed. On [Christmas Eve](/wiki/Christmas_Eve "Christmas Eve"), shops must close by 14:00; while on 31 December, shops can be open until 18:00\.
##### Ireland
There has been no recent legislation regarding Sunday trading in [Ireland](/wiki/Republic_of_Ireland "Republic of Ireland"), which is regulated by the [*Shops (Hours of Trading) Act 1938*](http://acts.oireachtas.ie/en.act.1938.0003.1.html) ([Northern Ireland](/wiki/Northern_Ireland "Northern Ireland"), still being part of the [United Kingdom](/wiki/United_Kingdom "United Kingdom"), has different legislation).

Major retail chains (such as supermarkets, department stores, shops that specialise in DIY, household goods, clothing, etc.) and many independent retailers open their branches throughout Ireland on Sundays, usually from 10:00\-19:00 in the larger towns and cities and from 12:00\-18:00 in the smaller centres. In [Dublin](/wiki/Dublin "Dublin"), almost all shops are open on a Sunday.
Shopping centres are open on Sundays with a later opening time (11:00 onwards) and closing time between 18:00\-20:00\.
Supermarkets, convenience stores and petrol stations are open longer hours than other shops on Sundays, typically from early morning (06:00\-10:00\) to late evening (20:00\-00:00\).
Alcohol can only be sold in shops with a special licence – this includes most supermarkets, convenience stores and petrol stations. Alcohol can only be bought between 12:30\-22:00 on Sundays (where it is 10:30\-22:00 on all other days).
The relaxed nature of the Sunday trading hours in the Republic of Ireland saw in previous years, a large influx of people from Northern Ireland crossing the border to shop, eat and drink as Northern Ireland traditionally had very strict Sunday trading rules – [and still does to this day by comparison](/wiki/Sunday_shopping%23Northern_Ireland "Sunday shopping#Northern Ireland"). For example, pubs in Northern Ireland were not permitted to open on Sundays until 1989\. This affected trading in key border towns and cities, especially in [County Donegal](/wiki/County_Donegal "County Donegal"), [County Monaghan](/wiki/County_Monaghan "County Monaghan"), [County Cavan](/wiki/County_Cavan "County Cavan") and [County Louth](/wiki/County_Louth "County Louth"). Many people from Northern Ireland would spend most of their Sundays across the border, as nearly all of their shops, pubs and restaurants were open.
##### Netherlands
In The [Netherlands](/wiki/Netherlands "Netherlands"), all municipalities have the authority to allow shops to open every Sunday. In major cities (such as such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht) most shops are open every Sunday from 1200\-1700 or 1800\. Nationwide, most supermarkets are open on a Sunday although opening hours vary. In the Christian\-dominated [Bible Belt](/wiki/Bible_Belt_%28Netherlands%29 "Bible Belt (Netherlands)") area, most shops stay closed on Sundays due to severe pressure from conservative Christians claiming Sunday as a day for worship and rest only. In the past, municipalities would allow shops to open on particular Sundays, often once a month, and these would be known as a *koopzondag* in [Dutch](/wiki/Dutch_language "Dutch language"), literally a "Sunday of buying".
##### Poland
Currently, there is a ban on trading on Sundays in [Poland](/wiki/Poland "Poland"). Shopping malls, supermarkets and smaller shops are closed. Restaurants, online stores, filling stations (including their shops), some pharmacies, bakeries and post offices remain open. Due to a loophole in the law, some companies decided to extend their offer with additional services, e.g. the "[Żabka](/wiki/%C5%BBabka_%28convenience_store%29 "Żabka (convenience store)")" chain of stores, which also provide limited postal services.
There are exceptions to the trade ban – in 2021, there are 7 shopping Sundays, when shopping malls, supermarkets and other stores are open.
Currently, shopping hours of stores are restricted on 13 public holidays during the year.
A bill has been put forward to the Polish parliament by the [Solidarność](/wiki/Solidarity_%28Polish_trade_union%29 "Solidarity (Polish trade union)") trade union to ban Sunday shopping for larger retail stores all Sundays (apart from 7 Sundays during the year).
As a result of a long public debate in 2007, a law was passed banning trade on public holidays, but not on Sundays. The law entered into force on 26 October 2007, and the first day of the ban was [All Saints' Day](/wiki/All_Saints%27_Day "All Saints' Day") on 1 November 2007\.
The days of restricted shopping are:
* 1 January – [New Year](/wiki/New_Year "New Year"),
* 6 January – Feast of the [Epiphany](/wiki/Epiphany_%28holiday%29 "Epiphany (holiday)") (Three Kings' Day)
* [Easter Sunday](/wiki/Easter_Sunday "Easter Sunday") and [Easter Monday](/wiki/Easter_Monday "Easter Monday") (moving holiday, two days),
* 1 May – [National Day](/wiki/International_Workers%27_Day "International Workers' Day"),
* 3 May – [Constitution Day](/wiki/May_3rd_Constitution_Day "May 3rd Constitution Day"),
* [Pentecost](/wiki/Pentecost "Pentecost") (Pentecost Sunday, movable holiday),
* [Corpus Christi Day (Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of the Lord)](/wiki/Corpus_Christi_%28feast%29 "Corpus Christi (feast)"), (movable holiday – always a Thursday)
* 15 August – [Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary](/wiki/Assumption_of_the_Blessed_Virgin_Mary "Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary") as well as [Armed Forces Day](/wiki/Armed_Forces_Day_%28Poland%29 "Armed Forces Day (Poland)"),
* 1 November – [All Saints' Day](/wiki/All_Saints%27_Day "All Saints' Day"),
* 11 November – [National Independence Day](/wiki/National_Independence_Day_%28Poland%29 "National Independence Day (Poland)"),
* 25 December and 26 December – [Christmas](/wiki/Christmas "Christmas") and [Boxing Day (St Stephen's Day)](/wiki/Boxing_Day "Boxing Day").
In 2014, the [Sejm](/wiki/Sejm "Sejm") rejected a civil law bill amending the Labour Code, which prohibits stores closing on Sundays.
Currently stores close earlier on – this being in the interest of workers and not regulated legally:

Employees are forbidden from working on [public holidays](/wiki/Public_holidays_in_Poland "Public holidays in Poland"). Only owners and contract workers can sell during holidays. Petrol stations and pharmacies are exempt from this restriction.
***Planned Sunday Shopping Ban***
A debate within Poland's parliament is currently discussing the draft bill from the largest trade union, [Solidarność](/wiki/Solidarity_%28Polish_trade_union%29 "Solidarity (Polish trade union)"), which submitted the bill to parliament to restrict retail trade on Sundays in late 2016\.{{cite web\|title\=Trade ban on Sundays\|url\=http://www.money.pl/gospodarka/wiadomosci/artykul/jaroslaw\-kaczynski\-zakaz\-handlu\-w\-niedziele,253,0,2298365\.html\|access\-date\=11 April 2017\|date\=11 April 2017}} The ban on Sunday trading would affect most retail outlets, with some exceptions as pharmacies, bakeries (until 13\.00\), flower stores, religious stores and restaurants.
It would be forbidden, according to the bill, to open on all Sundays, apart from the following exceptions:
* Third Sunday of Advent;
* Fourth Sunday of Advent;
* [Palm Sunday (last Sunday before Easter)](/wiki/Palm_Sunday "Palm Sunday")
* last Sunday in January, April, June and August.
Furthermore, store openings would be restricted to opening on the following days to 14\.00:
* [Easter Saturday](/wiki/Easter_Saturday "Easter Saturday")
* [Christmas Eve](/wiki/Christmas_Eve "Christmas Eve")
In March 2018 a new Polish law took effect, banning nearly all commerce on Sundays (except for the first and last Sunday of each month in 2018 and the last one in 2019\), with supermarkets and most other retailers closed on Sundays for the first time since liberal shopping laws were introduced in the 1990s. The law had been passed by the [Law and Justice](/wiki/Law_and_Justice "Law and Justice") party,{{cite news\|url\=https://www.usnews.com/news/business/articles/2018\-03\-11/most\-stores\-shut\-in\-poland\-as\-sunday\-trade\-ban\-takes\-effect\|title\=Most Stores Shut in Poland as Sunday Trade Ban Takes Effect\|date\=11 March 2018\|first\=Vanessa\|last\=Gera\|website\=US News\|agency\=Associated Press}}{{cite web\|url\=https://globalnews.ca/news/4076186/poland\-sunday\-shopping\-ban/\|title\=Stores shut across Poland as Sunday shopping ban takes effect\|website\=Global News}}{{Cite journal\|url\=https://www.rte.ie/news/2018/0311/946597\-poland\-shopping/\|title\=Sunday trading ban comes into effect in Poland\|date\=11 March 2018\|via\=rte.ie}}{{cite web\|url\=http://archiwum.thenews.pl/1/2/Artykul/353341,Stores\-closed\-as\-Poland\-phases\-out\-Sunday\-shopping\|title\=Stores closed as Poland phases out Sunday shopping\|website\=Polskie Radio dla Zagranicy}} with support of the [Catholic Church](/wiki/Catholic_Church "Catholic Church").{{cite web \|last1\=Mbakwe \|first1\=Tola \|date\=12 March 2018 \|title\=Catholic church welcomes Sunday trading ban in Poland \|url\=https://premierchristian.news/en/news/article/catholic\-church\-welcomes\-sunday\-trading\-ban\-in\-poland \|access\-date\=19 April 2023 \|publisher\=\[\[Premier Christian Radio]] \|language\=en}}{{cite web \|title\=Polish bishops for total ban on Sunday shopping \|url\=https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs\-news\-from\-elsewhere\-41025700 \|publisher\=BBC News \|access\-date\=19 April 2023 \|language\=English \|date\=23 August 2017}}
##### Spain
Commercial liberalisation during the 1980s allowed Sunday shopping with no restrictions. However, due to pressure from the small independent shops, certain restrictions were introduced in the 1990s.
In June 2000, measures were adopted to liberalise shop opening hours, causing great controversy. The regional governments, the employers' associations representing small and medium\-sized retailers and the trade unions opposed the reform. The CEOE employers' confederation and the employers' associations representing large retailers were in favour of the changes.[Controversy over liberalisation of shop opening hours](http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/eiro/2000/07/feature/es0007201f.htm), *EIRO online*, 2000
Currently, each [autonomous community](/wiki/Autonomous_communities_of_Spain "Autonomous communities of Spain") may establish its own Sunday opening calendar. The general trend is to allow Sunday opening once a month (usually the first Sunday) and every Sunday during special shopping seasons (including Christmas and sales). Certain sectors (including bars, restaurants, bakeries, pharmacies, fairly big convenience stores, small family\-run stores, and bookshops) are granted an exception and may open every Sunday with no restrictions. It is not hard to find a small grocery store open on Sunday in any Spanish town as of 2011\.
Religious concerns have been notably absent from the debate. The main bone of contention lies in the competition between big department stores, supermarkets and shopping centres, who push for complete liberalisation, and small family\-run shops, who cannot afford extra staff to open on Sundays.
In July 2012 all restrictions were lifted for the whole Madrid metropolitan area and all towns in Madrid province. Ever since shopping malls, supermarkets and shops in city centres of each city have started opening every Sunday.
Shops in towns and areas declared as touristic are allowed to open every Sunday. The list as of 2013 is quite extensive as it includes central [Madrid](/wiki/Madrid "Madrid"), most of Valencia municipality (including every shopping mall in the city), central Zaragoza, central Palma de Mallorca, most of the Catalan coastal area (except [Barcelona](/wiki/Barcelona "Barcelona")), most of the [Murcia](/wiki/Murcia "Murcia") coastal area, as well as many municipalities in the Madrid metropolitan area, the Andalusia coastal area and the [Valencia](/wiki/Valencia "Valencia") coastal area. Shopping malls and hypermarkets in these areas usually stay open every Sunday.
In Spain, where relatively few restrictions survive, small retail stores open 46 hours per week on average. This runs counter to the prediction that Sunday shopping hurts retailers by leading all of them to open longer hours.
##### Sweden
There is no law restricting the opening hours of shops. The only exception to this rule is the government\-owned liquor store monopoly [Systembolaget](/wiki/Systembolaget "Systembolaget"), which is not allowed to open on Sundays, and have to close at 20:00 on weekdays and 15:00 on Saturdays.
In Sweden, 15 years after the liberalisation, supply as regards shop opening hours has not yet standardised itself. On the contrary, if 80% of the department stores and supermarkets are open on Sunday, only half of corner shops and 48% of furniture stores are open on this day. This supports the argument that consumer preferences can point in the direction of an extension of shop opening hours in a given area without this need arising in another area.
#### Other European countries
##### Norway
In [Norway](/wiki/Norway "Norway") only petrol stations, flower nurseries and grocery shops that are smaller than {{convert\|100\|m2}} are allowed to operate on Sundays. For special occasions such as Christmas shopping there are exceptions.
##### Switzerland
Federal labour law in Switzerland generally prohibits the employment of staff on Sundays. The law provides for exceptions for very small shops, shops in certain tourist areas as well as shops in major train stations and airports. The latter provision was adopted in a 2005 popular referendum in which it was opposed by labour unions and conservative Christian groups. Moreover, the [cantons](/wiki/Swiss_cantons "Swiss cantons") may allow shops to open on up to four Sundays a year.
Pursuant to an ordinance of the [Federal Department of Economic Affairs](/wiki/Federal_Department_of_Economic_Affairs "Federal Department of Economic Affairs"), the following train stations and airports are allowed to include shops that are open on Sundays: [Aarau](/wiki/Aarau "Aarau"), [Baden](/wiki/Baden "Baden"), [Basel SBB](/wiki/Basel_SBB "Basel SBB"), [Bellinzona](/wiki/Bellinzona "Bellinzona"), [Bern](/wiki/Bern "Bern"), [Biel](/wiki/Biel "Biel"), [Brig](/wiki/Brig%2C_Switzerland "Brig, Switzerland"), [Chur](/wiki/Chur "Chur"), [Frauenfeld](/wiki/Frauenfeld "Frauenfeld"), [Fribourg](/wiki/Fribourg "Fribourg"), [Geneva](/wiki/Gen%C3%A8ve-Cornavin_railway_station "Genève-Cornavin railway station"), [Lausanne](/wiki/Lausanne "Lausanne"), [Lugano](/wiki/Lugano "Lugano"), [Lucerne](/wiki/Lucerne "Lucerne"), [Neuchâtel](/wiki/Neuch%C3%A2tel "Neuchâtel"), [Olten](/wiki/Olten "Olten"), [Schaffhausen](/wiki/Schaffhausen "Schaffhausen"), [Solothurn](/wiki/Solothurn "Solothurn"), [St. Gallen](/wiki/St._Gallen "St. Gallen"), [Thun](/wiki/Thun "Thun"), [Uster](/wiki/Uster "Uster"), [Visp](/wiki/Visp "Visp"), [Wil](/wiki/Wil "Wil"), [Winterthur](/wiki/Winterthur "Winterthur"), [Zug](/wiki/Zug "Zug"), [Zürich Enge](/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Enge_railway_station "Zürich Enge railway station"), [Zürich Hauptbahnhof](/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Hauptbahnhof "Zürich Hauptbahnhof"), [Zürich Oerlikon](/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Oerlikon_railway_station "Zürich Oerlikon railway station"), [Zürich Stadelhofen](/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Stadelhofen_railway_station "Zürich Stadelhofen railway station"); [Bern Airport](/wiki/Bern_Airport "Bern Airport"), [Geneva Cointrin International Airport](/wiki/Geneva_Cointrin_International_Airport "Geneva Cointrin International Airport"), [Lugano Airport](/wiki/Lugano_Airport "Lugano Airport"), [Sion](/wiki/Sion%2C_Switzerland "Sion, Switzerland") Airfield, [St. Gallen\-Altenrhein Airport](/wiki/St._Gallen-Altenrhein_Airport "St. Gallen-Altenrhein Airport"), [Zürich Airport](/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Airport "Zürich Airport").{{cite swiss law\|sr\=822\.112\.1\|link\=822\_112\_1\|art\=1\|de\=Verordnung des EVD zur Bezeichnung der Bahnhöfe und Flughäfen gemäss Artikel 26a Absatz 2 der Verordnung 2 zum Arbeitsgesetz}}
##### United Kingdom
###### England and Wales
By 1994, Sunday trading in [England and Wales](/wiki/England_and_Wales "England and Wales") was not generally permitted. This meant that shops such as [department stores](/wiki/Department_store "Department store") and supermarkets were not able to open legally. A number of specialist outlets were able to open legally, including [garden centres](/wiki/Garden_centre "Garden centre"), small "corner" or family\-run shops, and [chemists](/wiki/Dispensing_chemist "Dispensing chemist"). An earlier attempt by [Margaret Thatcher](/wiki/Margaret_Thatcher "Margaret Thatcher")'s government to allow Sunday shopping in 1986 was defeated in [Parliament](/wiki/Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom "Parliament of the United Kingdom"), with opposition coming from [Conservative](/wiki/Conservative_Party_%28UK%29 "Conservative Party (UK)") MPs who saw it as a threat to family life and church attendance, and [Labour](/wiki/Labour_Party_%28UK%29 "Labour Party (UK)") MPs who were concerned about workers' rights. This led to the formation of the [Keep Sunday Special](/wiki/Keep_Sunday_Special "Keep Sunday Special") campaign, backed by church groups and [USDAW](/wiki/USDAW "USDAW"), the trade union representing shop workers.
Several large retailers challenged the legal ruling in force, with some opening on Sundays from Christmas 1991 onwards {{cite web\|url\=http://archive.catholicherald.co.uk/article/28th\-december\-1990/4/the\-case\-for\-sunday\-trading\|title\=The Catholic Herald: The Debate for Sunday Trading\|access\-date\=2012\-10\-06}}Hansard [https://edm.parliament.uk/early\-day\-motion/4845](https://edm.parliament.uk/early-day-motion/4845) This led to the [Sunday Trading Act 1994](/wiki/Sunday_Trading_Act_1994 "Sunday Trading Act 1994") permitted "large shops" – those with a "relevant floor area" in excess of {{convert\|280\|m2\|ft2\|abbr\=on}}{{cite web\|url\=http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1994/20/schedule/1/data.htm\|title\=Sunday Trading Act 1994\|website\=legislation.gov.uk}} – to open for up to six hours on Sunday between the hours of 10 am and 6 pm. Small shops, those with an area of below 280 m2, are free to set their own Sunday trading times.{{cite web\|url\=https://www.gov.uk/trading\-hours\-for\-retailers\-the\-law\|title\=Trading hours for retailers: the law\|website\=GOV.UK}}
However, some large shops, such as [off\-licences](/wiki/Off-licence "Off-licence"), service stations and garages, are exempt from the restrictions.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/detail?itemId\=1073792286\&r.i\=1073792285\&r.l1\=1073861169\&r.l2\=1074400662\&r.l3\=1074014065\&r.t\=RESOURCES\&type\=RESOURCES\|title\=Business Link: Large shops which are exempt from Sunday trading rules}} Christmas Day and [Easter Sunday](/wiki/Easter_Sunday "Easter Sunday") have been excluded as trading days. This applies even to garden centres, which earlier had been trading over Easter, but not to small shops (those with an area of below 280 square metres). In 2006, the government considered further relaxation of the permitted hours of business but decided that there was no consensus for change, although a popular poll indicated differently.{{cite news

###### Scotland
Sunday trading laws in [Scotland](/wiki/Scotland "Scotland") are devolved to the [Scottish Parliament](/wiki/Scottish_Parliament "Scottish Parliament").
Scotland has never had any *general* legislation regarding Sunday trading. However, the [Sunday Working (Scotland) Act 2003](/wiki/Sunday_Working_%28Scotland%29_Act_2003 "Sunday Working (Scotland) Act 2003") prohibits shops from compelling their workers to work on Sunday. This lack of restriction allows opening hours of larger shops to be longer than in [England and Wales](/wiki/England_and_Wales "England and Wales") and [Northern Ireland](/wiki/Northern_Ireland "Northern Ireland"), and many large supermarkets remain open seven days a week with little or no adjustment of opening hours at the weekend. There is no equivalent to the legal restriction on Easter Sunday opening that exists in England and Wales, but opening on Christmas Day is very unusual.
Actual practice varies across the country according to local custom and local council regulation. In the [Western Isles](/wiki/Western_Isles "Western Isles"), where the [Free Church of Scotland](/wiki/Free_Church_of_Scotland_%28post_1900%29 "Free Church of Scotland (post 1900)") has a considerable following, there is virtually no commercial activity on Sundays until 6:45 am on Monday. In tourist and holiday areas there is typically an increase in the number of shops opening late and on Sundays during their particular tourist seasons.
Former restrictions include:
* Until 1994 barbers and hairdressers in Scotland were prohibited by s.67 of the [Shops Act 1950](/wiki/Shops_Act_1950 "Shops Act 1950") from carrying out their business on a Sunday.
* Until 2009 alcohol could not be sold until 12:30 pm. This has now changed to 10 am, the same as every other day of the week.{{cite web \| url\=http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/alcoholandbingedrinking/Outrage\-at\-drink\-sales\-for.5494208\.jp \|title \= Outrage at drink sales for Sunday morning}}
###### Northern Ireland
In [Northern Ireland](/wiki/Northern_Ireland "Northern Ireland"), Sunday trading is regulated under the Sunday Trading (Northern Ireland) Order 1997\. Opening hours are more limited for larger stores, or a floor area exceeding {{convert\|280\|m2\|0}}. Normally, a large shop may trade only between the hours of 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. This was to create a greater gap between Sunday services and the opening of large shops, in response to objections from churches, especially the Protestant churches, which have more influence than in the rest of the UK. Large shops within holiday resorts (designated by the district council) may opt for unrestricted trading hours on up to 18 Sundays (but not on [Easter](/wiki/Easter "Easter") Day) per calendar year between the dates of 1 March and 30 September. Shop owners in violation of the Sunday trading law may be fined up to £50,000\.
Pubs in Northern Ireland were not allowed to open on Sundays until 1989\.

The relaxation in rules in 2009 allowed all stores to open in tourist areas (before, only sports, toys and cultural shops were allowed).

"##### Spain",
"Commercial liberalisation during the 1980s allowed Sunday shopping with no restrictions. However, due to pressure from the small independent shops, certain restrictions were introduced in the 1990s.",
"In June 2000, measures were adopted to liberalise shop opening hours, causing great controversy. The regional governments, the employers' associations representing small and medium\\-sized retailers and the trade unions opposed the reform. The CEOE employers' confederation and the employers' associations representing large retailers were in favour of the changes.[Controversy over liberalisation of shop opening hours](http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/eiro/2000/07/feature/es0007201f.htm), *EIRO online*, 2000",
"Currently, each [autonomous community](/wiki/Autonomous_communities_of_Spain \"Autonomous communities of Spain\") may establish its own Sunday opening calendar. The general trend is to allow Sunday opening once a month (usually the first Sunday) and every Sunday during special shopping seasons (including Christmas and sales). Certain sectors (including bars, restaurants, bakeries, pharmacies, fairly big convenience stores, small family\\-run stores, and bookshops) are granted an exception and may open every Sunday with no restrictions. It is not hard to find a small grocery store open on Sunday in any Spanish town as of 2011\\.",
"Religious concerns have been notably absent from the debate. The main bone of contention lies in the competition between big department stores, supermarkets and shopping centres, who push for complete liberalisation, and small family\\-run shops, who cannot afford extra staff to open on Sundays.",
"In July 2012 all restrictions were lifted for the whole Madrid metropolitan area and all towns in Madrid province. Ever since shopping malls, supermarkets and shops in city centres of each city have started opening every Sunday.",
"Shops in towns and areas declared as touristic are allowed to open every Sunday. The list as of 2013 is quite extensive as it includes central [Madrid](/wiki/Madrid \"Madrid\"), most of Valencia municipality (including every shopping mall in the city), central Zaragoza, central Palma de Mallorca, most of the Catalan coastal area (except [Barcelona](/wiki/Barcelona \"Barcelona\")), most of the [Murcia](/wiki/Murcia \"Murcia\") coastal area, as well as many municipalities in the Madrid metropolitan area, the Andalusia coastal area and the [Valencia](/wiki/Valencia \"Valencia\") coastal area. Shopping malls and hypermarkets in these areas usually stay open every Sunday.",
"In Spain, where relatively few restrictions survive, small retail stores open 46 hours per week on average. This runs counter to the prediction that Sunday shopping hurts retailers by leading all of them to open longer hours.",
"##### Sweden",
"There is no law restricting the opening hours of shops. The only exception to this rule is the government\\-owned liquor store monopoly [Systembolaget](/wiki/Systembolaget \"Systembolaget\"), which is not allowed to open on Sundays, and have to close at 20:00 on weekdays and 15:00 on Saturdays.",
"In Sweden, 15 years after the liberalisation, supply as regards shop opening hours has not yet standardised itself. On the contrary, if 80% of the department stores and supermarkets are open on Sunday, only half of corner shops and 48% of furniture stores are open on this day. This supports the argument that consumer preferences can point in the direction of an extension of shop opening hours in a given area without this need arising in another area.",

"##### Norway",
"In [Norway](/wiki/Norway \"Norway\") only petrol stations, flower nurseries and grocery shops that are smaller than {{convert\\|100\\|m2}} are allowed to operate on Sundays. For special occasions such as Christmas shopping there are exceptions.",
"##### Switzerland",
"Federal labour law in Switzerland generally prohibits the employment of staff on Sundays. The law provides for exceptions for very small shops, shops in certain tourist areas as well as shops in major train stations and airports. The latter provision was adopted in a 2005 popular referendum in which it was opposed by labour unions and conservative Christian groups. Moreover, the [cantons](/wiki/Swiss_cantons \"Swiss cantons\") may allow shops to open on up to four Sundays a year.",

#### European Union
EU law allows each Member State to set its own policy concerning work on Sundays. Working time in EU member states is addressed in the [Working Time Directive](/wiki/Working_Time_Directive "Working Time Directive"): only a weekly rest after six days of work is required. The [European Court of Justice](/wiki/European_Court_of_Justice "European Court of Justice") in its case law on the subject, built from the 1980s, has not confirmed that Sunday should forcibly be the day of interruption. For the European Commission, "the choice of a closing day of shopping involves historical, cultural, touristic, social and religious considerations within the discretion of each Member State".Exposé des motifs de la proposition de loi visant à modifier l'article L. 221\-5 du code du travail afin de permettre l'ouverture des commerces le dimanche [http://www.assemblee\-nationale.fr/12/propositions/pion3262\.asp](http://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/12/propositions/pion3262.asp)
The following European Union countries currently allow all shops to open for at least part of every Sunday: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Sweden.
The following European Union countries currently allow shops to open every Sunday in towns and cities designated as tourist destinations and currently have a very extensive list of them that includes capitals and major cities: Belgium, France and Spain.

From then on, retail trade is only restricted on public holidays (New Years Day, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, Day of Prayer, Ascension Day, Whit Sunday, Whit Monday, Christmas Day and Boxing Day) and on Constitution Day, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve (on New Year's Eve from 3 pm only). On these days, almost all shops will remain closed. Exempt are bakeries, DIYs, garden centres, filling stations and smaller supermarkets.{{cite news\|url\=https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/2010/543\|title\=Lov om ændring af lov om detailsalg fra butikker m.v.\|language\=da\|website\=Retsinformation}}
Hyper\- and supermarkets are typically open on Sundays from 7 am or 8 am until 8 pm or even until 10 pm.
##### Finland
{{As of\|2009\|12}}, [opening hours](/wiki/Shopping_hours%23Finland "Shopping hours#Finland"), including Sunday shopping, for stores with a commercial floor area of less than 400 m2 are unregulated. The current law{{cite web\|url\=http://www.finlex.fi/fi/laki/ajantasa/2009/20090945 \|title\=Kumottu säädös Laki vähittäiskaupan sekä parturi\- ja… 945/2009 – Ajantasainen lainsäädäntö – FINLEX ® \|publisher\=Finlex.fi \|accessdate\=2021\-02\-07}} permits even the largest retailing venues to stay open on Sundays from 12 pm to 6 pm, and during the Christmas shopping season, beginning on the third Sunday of November and ending on 23 December, to 9 pm. Sunday shopping was introduced in 1994\.{{cite web\|url\=https://finlex.fi/fi/laki/alkup/1994/19940446\|title\=Laki vähittäiskaupan ja eräiden työliikkeiden liikeajasta annetun lain muuttamisesta\|date\=10 June 1994\|language\=fi\|website\=Finlex}} On 15 December 2015, the Finnish parliament voted for removing all opening hour restrictions for grocery retailers. The new law came into force on 1 January 2016\.{{cite web \|url\=http://www.hs.fi/paivanlehti/29122015/a1451287829878 \|title\=Kauppojen aukioloajat vapautuvat tällä viikolla – muutos näkyy selvimmin lauantai\-illoissa \|publisher\=Helsingin Sanomat\|date\=29 December 2015 }}
##### France
French laws about Sunday shopping are complex. Although Sunday shopping is generally not permitted, there are many exceptions such as certain zones and municipalities of the metropolitan areas of Paris, Marseille, and Lille; as well as around 500 cities that were declared as tourist towns, including major cities such as Nice, Le Havre, Vannes and Bordeaux. Most major stores nationwide open every Sunday in December prior to Christmas. Supermarkets (but not hypermarkets) are allowed to open nationwide every Sunday morning until 13:00 for grocery shopping. The relaxation in rules in 2009 allowed all stores to open in tourist areas (before, only sports, toys and cultural shops were allowed). The most visible result is that now clothing stores open every Sunday in places such as Champs Elysees in Paris, La Défense, central Marseille, central Cannes and central Nice.{{cite web\|url\=https://about\-france.com/shopping\-in\-france.htm\|title\=Shopping in France, hours chains and general guidance\|website\=about\-france.com}}
In 2008, the Swedish furniture chain [IKEA](/wiki/IKEA "IKEA") was fined €450,000 (over $700,000\) for trading on Sundays under the law of 1906\.{{citation

}} Within the current law, IKEA stores in France are allowed to open on a Sunday. However, only the ones in the Paris metropolitan area actually do so.
##### Germany
In Germany, opening hours have long been restricted through the [Ladenschlussgesetz](/wiki/Ladenschlussgesetz "Ladenschlussgesetz"). The 1956 law required shops to close for the weekend at 2 pm on a Saturday and 6:30 pm on week\-nights, with opening until 6 pm on the first Saturday of the month, in what was known as the *Langer Samstag*, or "long Saturday". The law was changed, in the face of strong resistance from labour unions, to allow *langer Donnerstag* ("long Thursday") until 8:30 pm in 1988, and in 1996 opening times were extended to 8 pm from Monday to Friday and 4 pm on Saturday; this was extended to 8 pm on Saturday in 2004\.[Studies relaunch debate on further liberalisation of shop opening hours](http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/eiro/1999/12/feature/de9912230f.htm), *EIRO online*, 1999
In 2004, the Federal Constitutional Court ruled against lifting restrictions on Sunday opening, which is still confined to some small bakeries and convenience stores inside railway stations and airports.{{cite news \| url\=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/3792015\.stm \| title\=Germany rejects Sunday shopping
\| date\=9 June 2004 \|publisher\=BBC}}
In 2006 and 2007, the responsibility for opening hours was transferred to the [state](/wiki/States_of_Germany "States of Germany") governments instead of the federal government, leading to an end to regulated Monday–Saturday opening hours in several states.
Studies on the German deregulation find that, far from causing an increase in consumer prices, the liberalisation lowered prices to some extent, though revenue was unaffected. This decrease in prices was probably driven by productivity increases created by the smoothing of consumer traffic over a longer period of time and the greater ability of consumers to compare prices in a deregulated environment.{{cite web\|url\=https://iea.org.uk/blog/regulating\-shop\-opening\-hours\-harms\-both\-consumers\-and\-workers\|title\=Regulating shop opening hours harms both consumers and workers\|website\=Institute of Economic Affairs\|first\=Karthik\|last\=Reddy\|date\=16 August 2011}}
However, there is still strong resistance to Sunday shopping from clergy and politicians.
As of 2013, the number of Sunday shopping days per year became regulated by the local government bodies. Berlin,{{cite news \| url\=http://www.berlin.de/tourismus/infos/1740536\-1721039\-ladenoeffnungszeiten\-sonntagsverkauf.html \| title\=Ladenöffnungszeiten \& Sonntagsverkauf \| publisher\=berlin.de}} for example, allowed 10 Sundays each year in 2013, reduced to 8 Sundays in 2014, of which two must be during the month before Christmas. In addition, a few supermarkets, located at major subway/railway stations, are allowed to be open for Sunday shopping all year.
Several major railway stations are permitted to operate their shops, such as grocery stores, bookstores, and drug stores, on Sundays.
##### Hungary
{{unreferenced section\|date\=July 2015}}
[thumb\|right\|200px\|A billboard erected in Budapest's III district by the opposition MKKP\-Vastagbőr alignment](/wiki/File:Welcome_to_Hungary_%28Closed_on_Sundays%29.jpg "Welcome to Hungary (Closed on Sundays).jpg")
Until 15 March 2015, shopping hours in Hungary were unregulated. Most convenience stores and general stores were open on a Sunday, even if only in the mornings. Larger stores (typically those above {{convert\|5000\|to\|15000\|m2\|sqft\|abbr\=on\|sigfig\=2\|disp\=comma}}), such as Tesco [hypermarkets](/wiki/Hypermarkets "Hypermarkets")) were open [24 hours a day, 7 days a week](/wiki/24/7 "24/7") ({{lang\-hu\|non\-stop or 'éjjel\-nappali'}}).
From 15 March 2015, new regulations banned shops from opening on Sundays. The new regulation only allowed trading by shops with an area no greater than {{convert\|200\|m2\|ft2}}, and even then only if they are operated by the owner or a close family member related by blood or marriage. The general exception from the law is the four Sundays in [Advent](/wiki/Advent "Advent") and one day that the shops can choose themselves. [Lidl](/wiki/Lidl "Lidl") chooses to open and close different stores on different Sundays, and lists which will be open in its [flysheets](/wiki/Flyer_%28pamphlet%29 "Flyer (pamphlet)").
Due to these rules being unpopular amongst the general public, a referendum was also planned against a Sunday shopping ban. From 17 April 2016, the shopping hours in Hungary are again unregulated. On public holidays (1 January, 15 March, Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, 1 May, Pentecost Sunday and Monday, 20 August, 23 October, 1 November, 25 and 26 December), all shops have to be closed. On [Christmas Eve](/wiki/Christmas_Eve "Christmas Eve"), shops must close by 14:00; while on 31 December, shops can be open until 18:00\.
##### Ireland
There has been no recent legislation regarding Sunday trading in [Ireland](/wiki/Republic_of_Ireland "Republic of Ireland"), which is regulated by the [*Shops (Hours of Trading) Act 1938*](http://acts.oireachtas.ie/en.act.1938.0003.1.html) ([Northern Ireland](/wiki/Northern_Ireland "Northern Ireland"), still being part of the [United Kingdom](/wiki/United_Kingdom "United Kingdom"), has different legislation). However, the act itself is largely inoperative – a 1938 [Statutory Instrument](/wiki/Statutory_Instrument "Statutory Instrument") made the entire State an 'Exempted Area' under the legislation{{cite web\|url\=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1938/sro/188/made/en/print\|website\=electronic Irish Statute Book (eISB)\|title\=S.I. No. 188/1938 – Shops (Hours of Trading) Act, 1938 (Part IV) (Exempted Area) Order, 1938\.}} – and as a result most shops and businesses may open whenever they please, including on Sundays and public holidays.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.entemp.ie/commerce/competition/role.htm\|title\=Role of Competition Policy\|url\-status\=dead\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20040505055319/http://www.entemp.ie/commerce/competition/role.htm\|archive\-date\=5 May 2004\|publisher\=Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Ireland): Commerce, Consumers and Competition Division\|date\=20 November 2003}}
Major retail chains (such as supermarkets, department stores, shops that specialise in DIY, household goods, clothing, etc.) and many independent retailers open their branches throughout Ireland on Sundays, usually from 10:00\-19:00 in the larger towns and cities and from 12:00\-18:00 in the smaller centres. In [Dublin](/wiki/Dublin "Dublin"), almost all shops are open on a Sunday.
Shopping centres are open on Sundays with a later opening time (11:00 onwards) and closing time between 18:00\-20:00\.
Supermarkets, convenience stores and petrol stations are open longer hours than other shops on Sundays, typically from early morning (06:00\-10:00\) to late evening (20:00\-00:00\).
Alcohol can only be sold in shops with a special licence – this includes most supermarkets, convenience stores and petrol stations. Alcohol can only be bought between 12:30\-22:00 on Sundays (where it is 10:30\-22:00 on all other days).
The relaxed nature of the Sunday trading hours in the Republic of Ireland saw in previous years, a large influx of people from Northern Ireland crossing the border to shop, eat and drink as Northern Ireland traditionally had very strict Sunday trading rules – [and still does to this day by comparison](/wiki/Sunday_shopping%23Northern_Ireland "Sunday shopping#Northern Ireland"). For example, pubs in Northern Ireland were not permitted to open on Sundays until 1989\. This affected trading in key border towns and cities, especially in [County Donegal](/wiki/County_Donegal "County Donegal"), [County Monaghan](/wiki/County_Monaghan "County Monaghan"), [County Cavan](/wiki/County_Cavan "County Cavan") and [County Louth](/wiki/County_Louth "County Louth"). Many people from Northern Ireland would spend most of their Sundays across the border, as nearly all of their shops, pubs and restaurants were open.
##### Netherlands
In The [Netherlands](/wiki/Netherlands "Netherlands"), all municipalities have the authority to allow shops to open every Sunday. In major cities (such as such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht) most shops are open every Sunday from 1200\-1700 or 1800\. Nationwide, most supermarkets are open on a Sunday although opening hours vary. In the Christian\-dominated [Bible Belt](/wiki/Bible_Belt_%28Netherlands%29 "Bible Belt (Netherlands)") area, most shops stay closed on Sundays due to severe pressure from conservative Christians claiming Sunday as a day for worship and rest only. In the past, municipalities would allow shops to open on particular Sundays, often once a month, and these would be known as a *koopzondag* in [Dutch](/wiki/Dutch_language "Dutch language"), literally a "Sunday of buying".
##### Poland
Currently, there is a ban on trading on Sundays in [Poland](/wiki/Poland "Poland"). Shopping malls, supermarkets and smaller shops are closed. Restaurants, online stores, filling stations (including their shops), some pharmacies, bakeries and post offices remain open. Due to a loophole in the law, some companies decided to extend their offer with additional services, e.g. the "[Żabka](/wiki/%C5%BBabka_%28convenience_store%29 "Żabka (convenience store)")" chain of stores, which also provide limited postal services.
There are exceptions to the trade ban – in 2021, there are 7 shopping Sundays, when shopping malls, supermarkets and other stores are open.
Currently, shopping hours of stores are restricted on 13 public holidays during the year.
A bill has been put forward to the Polish parliament by the [Solidarność](/wiki/Solidarity_%28Polish_trade_union%29 "Solidarity (Polish trade union)") trade union to ban Sunday shopping for larger retail stores all Sundays (apart from 7 Sundays during the year).
As a result of a long public debate in 2007, a law was passed banning trade on public holidays, but not on Sundays. The law entered into force on 26 October 2007, and the first day of the ban was [All Saints' Day](/wiki/All_Saints%27_Day "All Saints' Day") on 1 November 2007\.
The days of restricted shopping are:
* 1 January – [New Year](/wiki/New_Year "New Year"),
* 6 January – Feast of the [Epiphany](/wiki/Epiphany_%28holiday%29 "Epiphany (holiday)") (Three Kings' Day)
* [Easter Sunday](/wiki/Easter_Sunday "Easter Sunday") and [Easter Monday](/wiki/Easter_Monday "Easter Monday") (moving holiday, two days),
* 1 May – [National Day](/wiki/International_Workers%27_Day "International Workers' Day"),
* 3 May – [Constitution Day](/wiki/May_3rd_Constitution_Day "May 3rd Constitution Day"),
* [Pentecost](/wiki/Pentecost "Pentecost") (Pentecost Sunday, movable holiday),
* [Corpus Christi Day (Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of the Lord)](/wiki/Corpus_Christi_%28feast%29 "Corpus Christi (feast)"), (movable holiday – always a Thursday)
* 15 August – [Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary](/wiki/Assumption_of_the_Blessed_Virgin_Mary "Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary") as well as [Armed Forces Day](/wiki/Armed_Forces_Day_%28Poland%29 "Armed Forces Day (Poland)"),
* 1 November – [All Saints' Day](/wiki/All_Saints%27_Day "All Saints' Day"),
* 11 November – [National Independence Day](/wiki/National_Independence_Day_%28Poland%29 "National Independence Day (Poland)"),
* 25 December and 26 December – [Christmas](/wiki/Christmas "Christmas") and [Boxing Day (St Stephen's Day)](/wiki/Boxing_Day "Boxing Day").
In 2014, the [Sejm](/wiki/Sejm "Sejm") rejected a civil law bill amending the Labour Code, which prohibits stores closing on Sundays.
Currently stores close earlier on – this being in the interest of workers and not regulated legally:

Employees are forbidden from working on [public holidays](/wiki/Public_holidays_in_Poland "Public holidays in Poland"). Only owners and contract workers can sell during holidays. Petrol stations and pharmacies are exempt from this restriction.
***Planned Sunday Shopping Ban***
A debate within Poland's parliament is currently discussing the draft bill from the largest trade union, [Solidarność](/wiki/Solidarity_%28Polish_trade_union%29 "Solidarity (Polish trade union)"), which submitted the bill to parliament to restrict retail trade on Sundays in late 2016\.{{cite web\|title\=Trade ban on Sundays\|url\=http://www.money.pl/gospodarka/wiadomosci/artykul/jaroslaw\-kaczynski\-zakaz\-handlu\-w\-niedziele,253,0,2298365\.html\|access\-date\=11 April 2017\|date\=11 April 2017}} The ban on Sunday trading would affect most retail outlets, with some exceptions as pharmacies, bakeries (until 13\.00\), flower stores, religious stores and restaurants.
It would be forbidden, according to the bill, to open on all Sundays, apart from the following exceptions:
* Third Sunday of Advent;
* Fourth Sunday of Advent;
* [Palm Sunday (last Sunday before Easter)](/wiki/Palm_Sunday "Palm Sunday")
* last Sunday in January, April, June and August.
Furthermore, store openings would be restricted to opening on the following days to 14\.00:
* [Easter Saturday](/wiki/Easter_Saturday "Easter Saturday")
* [Christmas Eve](/wiki/Christmas_Eve "Christmas Eve")
In March 2018 a new Polish law took effect, banning nearly all commerce on Sundays (except for the first and last Sunday of each month in 2018 and the last one in 2019\), with supermarkets and most other retailers closed on Sundays for the first time since liberal shopping laws were introduced in the 1990s. The law had been passed by the [Law and Justice](/wiki/Law_and_Justice "Law and Justice") party,{{cite news\|url\=https://www.usnews.com/news/business/articles/2018\-03\-11/most\-stores\-shut\-in\-poland\-as\-sunday\-trade\-ban\-takes\-effect\|title\=Most Stores Shut in Poland as Sunday Trade Ban Takes Effect\|date\=11 March 2018\|first\=Vanessa\|last\=Gera\|website\=US News\|agency\=Associated Press}}{{cite web\|url\=https://globalnews.ca/news/4076186/poland\-sunday\-shopping\-ban/\|title\=Stores shut across Poland as Sunday shopping ban takes effect\|website\=Global News}}{{Cite journal\|url\=https://www.rte.ie/news/2018/0311/946597\-poland\-shopping/\|title\=Sunday trading ban comes into effect in Poland\|date\=11 March 2018\|via\=rte.ie}}{{cite web\|url\=http://archiwum.thenews.pl/1/2/Artykul/353341,Stores\-closed\-as\-Poland\-phases\-out\-Sunday\-shopping\|title\=Stores closed as Poland phases out Sunday shopping\|website\=Polskie Radio dla Zagranicy}} with support of the [Catholic Church](/wiki/Catholic_Church "Catholic Church").{{cite web \|last1\=Mbakwe \|first1\=Tola \|date\=12 March 2018 \|title\=Catholic church welcomes Sunday trading ban in Poland \|url\=https://premierchristian.news/en/news/article/catholic\-church\-welcomes\-sunday\-trading\-ban\-in\-poland \|access\-date\=19 April 2023 \|publisher\=\[\[Premier Christian Radio]] \|language\=en}}{{cite web \|title\=Polish bishops for total ban on Sunday shopping \|url\=https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs\-news\-from\-elsewhere\-41025700 \|publisher\=BBC News \|access\-date\=19 April 2023 \|language\=English \|date\=23 August 2017}}
##### Spain
Commercial liberalisation during the 1980s allowed Sunday shopping with no restrictions. However, due to pressure from the small independent shops, certain restrictions were introduced in the 1990s.
In June 2000, measures were adopted to liberalise shop opening hours, causing great controversy. The regional governments, the employers' associations representing small and medium\-sized retailers and the trade unions opposed the reform. The CEOE employers' confederation and the employers' associations representing large retailers were in favour of the changes.[Controversy over liberalisation of shop opening hours](http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/eiro/2000/07/feature/es0007201f.htm), *EIRO online*, 2000
Currently, each [autonomous community](/wiki/Autonomous_communities_of_Spain "Autonomous communities of Spain") may establish its own Sunday opening calendar. The general trend is to allow Sunday opening once a month (usually the first Sunday) and every Sunday during special shopping seasons (including Christmas and sales). Certain sectors (including bars, restaurants, bakeries, pharmacies, fairly big convenience stores, small family\-run stores, and bookshops) are granted an exception and may open every Sunday with no restrictions. It is not hard to find a small grocery store open on Sunday in any Spanish town as of 2011\.
Religious concerns have been notably absent from the debate. The main bone of contention lies in the competition between big department stores, supermarkets and shopping centres, who push for complete liberalisation, and small family\-run shops, who cannot afford extra staff to open on Sundays.
In July 2012 all restrictions were lifted for the whole Madrid metropolitan area and all towns in Madrid province. Ever since shopping malls, supermarkets and shops in city centres of each city have started opening every Sunday.
Shops in towns and areas declared as touristic are allowed to open every Sunday. The list as of 2013 is quite extensive as it includes central [Madrid](/wiki/Madrid "Madrid"), most of Valencia municipality (including every shopping mall in the city), central Zaragoza, central Palma de Mallorca, most of the Catalan coastal area (except [Barcelona](/wiki/Barcelona "Barcelona")), most of the [Murcia](/wiki/Murcia "Murcia") coastal area, as well as many municipalities in the Madrid metropolitan area, the Andalusia coastal area and the [Valencia](/wiki/Valencia "Valencia") coastal area. Shopping malls and hypermarkets in these areas usually stay open every Sunday.
In Spain, where relatively few restrictions survive, small retail stores open 46 hours per week on average. This runs counter to the prediction that Sunday shopping hurts retailers by leading all of them to open longer hours.
##### Sweden
There is no law restricting the opening hours of shops. The only exception to this rule is the government\-owned liquor store monopoly [Systembolaget](/wiki/Systembolaget "Systembolaget"), which is not allowed to open on Sundays, and have to close at 20:00 on weekdays and 15:00 on Saturdays.
In Sweden, 15 years after the liberalisation, supply as regards shop opening hours has not yet standardised itself. On the contrary, if 80% of the department stores and supermarkets are open on Sunday, only half of corner shops and 48% of furniture stores are open on this day. This supports the argument that consumer preferences can point in the direction of an extension of shop opening hours in a given area without this need arising in another area.

"French laws about Sunday shopping are complex. Although Sunday shopping is generally not permitted, there are many exceptions such as certain zones and municipalities of the metropolitan areas of Paris, Marseille, and Lille; as well as around 500 cities that were declared as tourist towns, including major cities such as Nice, Le Havre, Vannes and Bordeaux. Most major stores nationwide open every Sunday in December prior to Christmas. Supermarkets (but not hypermarkets) are allowed to open nationwide every Sunday morning until 13:00 for grocery shopping. The relaxation in rules in 2009 allowed all stores to open in tourist areas (before, only sports, toys and cultural shops were allowed).

The law was changed, in the face of strong resistance from labour unions, to allow *langer Donnerstag* (\"long Thursday\") until 8:30 pm in 1988, and in 1996 opening times were extended to 8 pm from Monday to Friday and 4 pm on Saturday; this was extended to 8 pm on Saturday in 2004\\.[Studies relaunch debate on further liberalisation of shop opening hours](http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/eiro/1999/12/feature/de9912230f.htm), *EIRO online*, 1999",

"In Spain, where relatively few restrictions survive, small retail stores open 46 hours per week on average. This runs counter to the prediction that Sunday shopping hurts retailers by leading all of them to open longer hours.",
"##### Sweden",
"There is no law restricting the opening hours of shops. The only exception to this rule is the government\\-owned liquor store monopoly [Systembolaget](/wiki/Systembolaget \"Systembolaget\"), which is not allowed to open on Sundays, and have to close at 20:00 on weekdays and 15:00 on Saturdays.",
"In Sweden, 15 years after the liberalisation, supply as regards shop opening hours has not yet standardised itself. On the contrary, if 80% of the department stores and supermarkets are open on Sunday, only half of corner shops and 48% of furniture stores are open on this day. This supports the argument that consumer preferences can point in the direction of an extension of shop opening hours in a given area without this need arising in another area.",

##### Ireland
There has been no recent legislation regarding Sunday trading in [Ireland](/wiki/Republic_of_Ireland "Republic of Ireland"), which is regulated by the [*Shops (Hours of Trading) Act 1938*](http://acts.oireachtas.ie/en.act.1938.0003.1.html) ([Northern Ireland](/wiki/Northern_Ireland "Northern Ireland"), still being part of the [United Kingdom](/wiki/United_Kingdom "United Kingdom"), has different legislation). However, the act itself is largely inoperative – a 1938 [Statutory Instrument](/wiki/Statutory_Instrument "Statutory Instrument") made the entire State an 'Exempted Area' under the legislation{{cite web\|url\=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1938/sro/188/made/en/print\|website\=electronic Irish Statute Book (eISB)\|title\=S.I.

Major retail chains (such as supermarkets, department stores, shops that specialise in DIY, household goods, clothing, etc.) and many independent retailers open their branches throughout Ireland on Sundays, usually from 10:00\-19:00 in the larger towns and cities and from 12:00\-18:00 in the smaller centres. In [Dublin](/wiki/Dublin "Dublin"), almost all shops are open on a Sunday.
Shopping centres are open on Sundays with a later opening time (11:00 onwards) and closing time between 18:00\-20:00\.
Supermarkets, convenience stores and petrol stations are open longer hours than other shops on Sundays, typically from early morning (06:00\-10:00\) to late evening (20:00\-00:00\).
Alcohol can only be sold in shops with a special licence – this includes most supermarkets, convenience stores and petrol stations. Alcohol can only be bought between 12:30\-22:00 on Sundays (where it is 10:30\-22:00 on all other days).
The relaxed nature of the Sunday trading hours in the Republic of Ireland saw in previous years, a large influx of people from Northern Ireland crossing the border to shop, eat and drink as Northern Ireland traditionally had very strict Sunday trading rules – [and still does to this day by comparison](/wiki/Sunday_shopping%23Northern_Ireland "Sunday shopping#Northern Ireland"). For example, pubs in Northern Ireland were not permitted to open on Sundays until 1989\.

Many people from Northern Ireland would spend most of their Sundays across the border, as nearly all of their shops, pubs and restaurants were open.

##### Poland
Currently, there is a ban on trading on Sundays in [Poland](/wiki/Poland "Poland"). Shopping malls, supermarkets and smaller shops are closed. Restaurants, online stores, filling stations (including their shops), some pharmacies, bakeries and post offices remain open. Due to a loophole in the law, some companies decided to extend their offer with additional services, e.g. the "[Żabka](/wiki/%C5%BBabka_%28convenience_store%29 "Żabka (convenience store)")" chain of stores, which also provide limited postal services.
There are exceptions to the trade ban – in 2021, there are 7 shopping Sundays, when shopping malls, supermarkets and other stores are open.
Currently, shopping hours of stores are restricted on 13 public holidays during the year.
A bill has been put forward to the Polish parliament by the [Solidarność](/wiki/Solidarity_%28Polish_trade_union%29 "Solidarity (Polish trade union)") trade union to ban Sunday shopping for larger retail stores all Sundays (apart from 7 Sundays during the year).
As a result of a long public debate in 2007, a law was passed banning trade on public holidays, but not on Sundays. The law entered into force on 26 October 2007, and the first day of the ban was [All Saints' Day](/wiki/All_Saints%27_Day "All Saints' Day") on 1 November 2007\.
The days of restricted shopping are:
* 1 January – [New Year](/wiki/New_Year "New Year"),
* 6 January – Feast of the [Epiphany](/wiki/Epiphany_%28holiday%29 "Epiphany (holiday)") (Three Kings' Day)
* [Easter Sunday](/wiki/Easter_Sunday "Easter Sunday") and [Easter Monday](/wiki/Easter_Monday "Easter Monday") (moving holiday, two days),
* 1 May – [National Day](/wiki/International_Workers%27_Day "International Workers' Day"),
* 3 May – [Constitution Day](/wiki/May_3rd_Constitution_Day "May 3rd Constitution Day"),
* [Pentecost](/wiki/Pentecost "Pentecost") (Pentecost Sunday, movable holiday),
* [Corpus Christi Day (Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of the Lord)](/wiki/Corpus_Christi_%28feast%29 "Corpus Christi (feast)"), (movable holiday – always a Thursday)
* 15 August – [Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary](/wiki/Assumption_of_the_Blessed_Virgin_Mary "Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary") as well as [Armed Forces Day](/wiki/Armed_Forces_Day_%28Poland%29 "Armed Forces Day (Poland)"),
* 1 November – [All Saints' Day](/wiki/All_Saints%27_Day "All Saints' Day"),
* 11 November – [National Independence Day](/wiki/National_Independence_Day_%28Poland%29 "National Independence Day (Poland)"),
* 25 December and 26 December – [Christmas](/wiki/Christmas "Christmas") and [Boxing Day (St Stephen's Day)](/wiki/Boxing_Day "Boxing Day").
In 2014, the [Sejm](/wiki/Sejm "Sejm") rejected a civil law bill amending the Labour Code, which prohibits stores closing on Sundays.
Currently stores close earlier on – this being in the interest of workers and not regulated legally:
* [Easter Saturday](/wiki/Easter_Saturday "Easter Saturday") – between opening to 16\.00;{{cite web\|title\=Biedronka stores open until 16\.00 on Easter Saturday\|url\=http://biznes.interia.pl/firma/news/sklepy\-biedronka\-w\-wielka\-sobote\-otwarte\-do\-16,2501367,1852 \|access\-date\=10 April 2017}}

Employees are forbidden from working on [public holidays](/wiki/Public_holidays_in_Poland "Public holidays in Poland"). Only owners and contract workers can sell during holidays. Petrol stations and pharmacies are exempt from this restriction.
***Planned Sunday Shopping Ban***
A debate within Poland's parliament is currently discussing the draft bill from the largest trade union, [Solidarność](/wiki/Solidarity_%28Polish_trade_union%29 "Solidarity (Polish trade union)"), which submitted the bill to parliament to restrict retail trade on Sundays in late 2016\.{{cite web\|title\=Trade ban on Sundays\|url\=http://www.money.pl/gospodarka/wiadomosci/artykul/jaroslaw\-kaczynski\-zakaz\-handlu\-w\-niedziele,253,0,2298365\.html\|access\-date\=11 April 2017\|date\=11 April 2017}} The ban on Sunday trading would affect most retail outlets, with some exceptions as pharmacies, bakeries (until 13\.00\), flower stores, religious stores and restaurants.
It would be forbidden, according to the bill, to open on all Sundays, apart from the following exceptions:
* Third Sunday of Advent;
* Fourth Sunday of Advent;
* [Palm Sunday (last Sunday before Easter)](/wiki/Palm_Sunday "Palm Sunday")
* last Sunday in January, April, June and August.
Furthermore, store openings would be restricted to opening on the following days to 14\.00:
* [Easter Saturday](/wiki/Easter_Saturday "Easter Saturday")
* [Christmas Eve](/wiki/Christmas_Eve "Christmas Eve")
In March 2018 a new Polish law took effect, banning nearly all commerce on Sundays (except for the first and last Sunday of each month in 2018 and the last one in 2019\), with supermarkets and most other retailers closed on Sundays for the first time since liberal shopping laws were introduced in the 1990s.

##### Spain
Commercial liberalisation during the 1980s allowed Sunday shopping with no restrictions. However, due to pressure from the small independent shops, certain restrictions were introduced in the 1990s.
In June 2000, measures were adopted to liberalise shop opening hours, causing great controversy. The regional governments, the employers' associations representing small and medium\-sized retailers and the trade unions opposed the reform. The CEOE employers' confederation and the employers' associations representing large retailers were in favour of the changes.[Controversy over liberalisation of shop opening hours](http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/eiro/2000/07/feature/es0007201f.htm), *EIRO online*, 2000
Currently, each [autonomous community](/wiki/Autonomous_communities_of_Spain "Autonomous communities of Spain") may establish its own Sunday opening calendar. The general trend is to allow Sunday opening once a month (usually the first Sunday) and every Sunday during special shopping seasons (including Christmas and sales). Certain sectors (including bars, restaurants, bakeries, pharmacies, fairly big convenience stores, small family\-run stores, and bookshops) are granted an exception and may open every Sunday with no restrictions. It is not hard to find a small grocery store open on Sunday in any Spanish town as of 2011\.
Religious concerns have been notably absent from the debate. The main bone of contention lies in the competition between big department stores, supermarkets and shopping centres, who push for complete liberalisation, and small family\-run shops, who cannot afford extra staff to open on Sundays.
In July 2012 all restrictions were lifted for the whole Madrid metropolitan area and all towns in Madrid province. Ever since shopping malls, supermarkets and shops in city centres of each city have started opening every Sunday.
Shops in towns and areas declared as touristic are allowed to open every Sunday. The list as of 2013 is quite extensive as it includes central [Madrid](/wiki/Madrid "Madrid"), most of Valencia municipality (including every shopping mall in the city), central Zaragoza, central Palma de Mallorca, most of the Catalan coastal area (except [Barcelona](/wiki/Barcelona "Barcelona")), most of the [Murcia](/wiki/Murcia "Murcia") coastal area, as well as many municipalities in the Madrid metropolitan area, the Andalusia coastal area and the [Valencia](/wiki/Valencia "Valencia") coastal area. Shopping malls and hypermarkets in these areas usually stay open every Sunday.
In Spain, where relatively few restrictions survive, small retail stores open 46 hours per week on average. This runs counter to the prediction that Sunday shopping hurts retailers by leading all of them to open longer hours.

#### Other European countries
##### Norway
In [Norway](/wiki/Norway "Norway") only petrol stations, flower nurseries and grocery shops that are smaller than {{convert\|100\|m2}} are allowed to operate on Sundays. For special occasions such as Christmas shopping there are exceptions.
##### Switzerland
Federal labour law in Switzerland generally prohibits the employment of staff on Sundays. The law provides for exceptions for very small shops, shops in certain tourist areas as well as shops in major train stations and airports. The latter provision was adopted in a 2005 popular referendum in which it was opposed by labour unions and conservative Christian groups. Moreover, the [cantons](/wiki/Swiss_cantons "Swiss cantons") may allow shops to open on up to four Sundays a year.
Pursuant to an ordinance of the [Federal Department of Economic Affairs](/wiki/Federal_Department_of_Economic_Affairs "Federal Department of Economic Affairs"), the following train stations and airports are allowed to include shops that are open on Sundays: [Aarau](/wiki/Aarau "Aarau"), [Baden](/wiki/Baden "Baden"), [Basel SBB](/wiki/Basel_SBB "Basel SBB"), [Bellinzona](/wiki/Bellinzona "Bellinzona"), [Bern](/wiki/Bern "Bern"), [Biel](/wiki/Biel "Biel"), [Brig](/wiki/Brig%2C_Switzerland "Brig, Switzerland"), [Chur](/wiki/Chur "Chur"), [Frauenfeld](/wiki/Frauenfeld "Frauenfeld"), [Fribourg](/wiki/Fribourg "Fribourg"), [Geneva](/wiki/Gen%C3%A8ve-Cornavin_railway_station "Genève-Cornavin railway station"), [Lausanne](/wiki/Lausanne "Lausanne"), [Lugano](/wiki/Lugano "Lugano"), [Lucerne](/wiki/Lucerne "Lucerne"), [Neuchâtel](/wiki/Neuch%C3%A2tel "Neuchâtel"), [Olten](/wiki/Olten "Olten"), [Schaffhausen](/wiki/Schaffhausen "Schaffhausen"), [Solothurn](/wiki/Solothurn "Solothurn"), [St. Gallen](/wiki/St._Gallen "St. Gallen"), [Thun](/wiki/Thun "Thun"), [Uster](/wiki/Uster "Uster"), [Visp](/wiki/Visp "Visp"), [Wil](/wiki/Wil "Wil"), [Winterthur](/wiki/Winterthur "Winterthur"), [Zug](/wiki/Zug "Zug"), [Zürich Enge](/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Enge_railway_station "Zürich Enge railway station"), [Zürich Hauptbahnhof](/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Hauptbahnhof "Zürich Hauptbahnhof"), [Zürich Oerlikon](/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Oerlikon_railway_station "Zürich Oerlikon railway station"), [Zürich Stadelhofen](/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Stadelhofen_railway_station "Zürich Stadelhofen railway station"); [Bern Airport](/wiki/Bern_Airport "Bern Airport"), [Geneva Cointrin International Airport](/wiki/Geneva_Cointrin_International_Airport "Geneva Cointrin International Airport"), [Lugano Airport](/wiki/Lugano_Airport "Lugano Airport"), [Sion](/wiki/Sion%2C_Switzerland "Sion, Switzerland") Airfield, [St. Gallen\-Altenrhein Airport](/wiki/St._Gallen-Altenrhein_Airport "St. Gallen-Altenrhein Airport"), [Zürich Airport](/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Airport "Zürich Airport").{{cite swiss law\|sr\=822\.112\.1\|link\=822\_112\_1\|art\=1\|de\=Verordnung des EVD zur Bezeichnung der Bahnhöfe und Flughäfen gemäss Artikel 26a Absatz 2 der Verordnung 2 zum Arbeitsgesetz}}
##### United Kingdom
###### England and Wales
By 1994, Sunday trading in [England and Wales](/wiki/England_and_Wales "England and Wales") was not generally permitted. This meant that shops such as [department stores](/wiki/Department_store "Department store") and supermarkets were not able to open legally. A number of specialist outlets were able to open legally, including [garden centres](/wiki/Garden_centre "Garden centre"), small "corner" or family\-run shops, and [chemists](/wiki/Dispensing_chemist "Dispensing chemist"). An earlier attempt by [Margaret Thatcher](/wiki/Margaret_Thatcher "Margaret Thatcher")'s government to allow Sunday shopping in 1986 was defeated in [Parliament](/wiki/Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom "Parliament of the United Kingdom"), with opposition coming from [Conservative](/wiki/Conservative_Party_%28UK%29 "Conservative Party (UK)") MPs who saw it as a threat to family life and church attendance, and [Labour](/wiki/Labour_Party_%28UK%29 "Labour Party (UK)") MPs who were concerned about workers' rights. This led to the formation of the [Keep Sunday Special](/wiki/Keep_Sunday_Special "Keep Sunday Special") campaign, backed by church groups and [USDAW](/wiki/USDAW "USDAW"), the trade union representing shop workers.
Several large retailers challenged the legal ruling in force, with some opening on Sundays from Christmas 1991 onwards {{cite web\|url\=http://archive.catholicherald.co.uk/article/28th\-december\-1990/4/the\-case\-for\-sunday\-trading\|title\=The Catholic Herald: The Debate for Sunday Trading\|access\-date\=2012\-10\-06}}Hansard [https://edm.parliament.uk/early\-day\-motion/4845](https://edm.parliament.uk/early-day-motion/4845) This led to the [Sunday Trading Act 1994](/wiki/Sunday_Trading_Act_1994 "Sunday Trading Act 1994") permitted "large shops" – those with a "relevant floor area" in excess of {{convert\|280\|m2\|ft2\|abbr\=on}}{{cite web\|url\=http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1994/20/schedule/1/data.htm\|title\=Sunday Trading Act 1994\|website\=legislation.gov.uk}} – to open for up to six hours on Sunday between the hours of 10 am and 6 pm.

This applies even to garden centres, which earlier had been trading over Easter, but not to small shops (those with an area of below 280 square metres).

###### Scotland
Sunday trading laws in [Scotland](/wiki/Scotland "Scotland") are devolved to the [Scottish Parliament](/wiki/Scottish_Parliament "Scottish Parliament").
Scotland has never had any *general* legislation regarding Sunday trading. However, the [Sunday Working (Scotland) Act 2003](/wiki/Sunday_Working_%28Scotland%29_Act_2003 "Sunday Working (Scotland) Act 2003") prohibits shops from compelling their workers to work on Sunday. This lack of restriction allows opening hours of larger shops to be longer than in [England and Wales](/wiki/England_and_Wales "England and Wales") and [Northern Ireland](/wiki/Northern_Ireland "Northern Ireland"), and many large supermarkets remain open seven days a week with little or no adjustment of opening hours at the weekend. There is no equivalent to the legal restriction on Easter Sunday opening that exists in England and Wales, but opening on Christmas Day is very unusual.
Actual practice varies across the country according to local custom and local council regulation. In the [Western Isles](/wiki/Western_Isles "Western Isles"), where the [Free Church of Scotland](/wiki/Free_Church_of_Scotland_%28post_1900%29 "Free Church of Scotland (post 1900)") has a considerable following, there is virtually no commercial activity on Sundays until 6:45 am on Monday. In tourist and holiday areas there is typically an increase in the number of shops opening late and on Sundays during their particular tourist seasons.
Former restrictions include:
* Until 1994 barbers and hairdressers in Scotland were prohibited by s.67 of the [Shops Act 1950](/wiki/Shops_Act_1950 "Shops Act 1950") from carrying out their business on a Sunday.
* Until 2009 alcohol could not be sold until 12:30 pm. This has now changed to 10 am, the same as every other day of the week.{{cite web \| url\=http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/alcoholandbingedrinking/Outrage\-at\-drink\-sales\-for.5494208\.jp \|title \= Outrage at drink sales for Sunday morning}}
###### Northern Ireland
In [Northern Ireland](/wiki/Northern_Ireland "Northern Ireland"), Sunday trading is regulated under the Sunday Trading (Northern Ireland) Order 1997\. Opening hours are more limited for larger stores, or a floor area exceeding {{convert\|280\|m2\|0}}. Normally, a large shop may trade only between the hours of 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. This was to create a greater gap between Sunday services and the opening of large shops, in response to objections from churches, especially the Protestant churches, which have more influence than in the rest of the UK. Large shops within holiday resorts (designated by the district council) may opt for unrestricted trading hours on up to 18 Sundays (but not on [Easter](/wiki/Easter "Easter") Day) per calendar year between the dates of 1 March and 30 September. Shop owners in violation of the Sunday trading law may be fined up to £50,000\.
Pubs in Northern Ireland were not allowed to open on Sundays until 1989\.

##### United Kingdom
###### England and Wales
By 1994, Sunday trading in [England and Wales](/wiki/England_and_Wales "England and Wales") was not generally permitted. This meant that shops such as [department stores](/wiki/Department_store "Department store") and supermarkets were not able to open legally. A number of specialist outlets were able to open legally, including [garden centres](/wiki/Garden_centre "Garden centre"), small "corner" or family\-run shops, and [chemists](/wiki/Dispensing_chemist "Dispensing chemist"). An earlier attempt by [Margaret Thatcher](/wiki/Margaret_Thatcher "Margaret Thatcher")'s government to allow Sunday shopping in 1986 was defeated in [Parliament](/wiki/Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom "Parliament of the United Kingdom"), with opposition coming from [Conservative](/wiki/Conservative_Party_%28UK%29 "Conservative Party (UK)") MPs who saw it as a threat to family life and church attendance, and [Labour](/wiki/Labour_Party_%28UK%29 "Labour Party (UK)") MPs who were concerned about workers' rights. This led to the formation of the [Keep Sunday Special](/wiki/Keep_Sunday_Special "Keep Sunday Special") campaign, backed by church groups and [USDAW](/wiki/USDAW "USDAW"), the trade union representing shop workers.
Several large retailers challenged the legal ruling in force, with some opening on Sundays from Christmas 1991 onwards {{cite web\|url\=http://archive.catholicherald.co.uk/article/28th\-december\-1990/4/the\-case\-for\-sunday\-trading\|title\=The Catholic Herald: The Debate for Sunday Trading\|access\-date\=2012\-10\-06}}Hansard [https://edm.parliament.uk/early\-day\-motion/4845](https://edm.parliament.uk/early-day-motion/4845) This led to the [Sunday Trading Act 1994](/wiki/Sunday_Trading_Act_1994 "Sunday Trading Act 1994") permitted "large shops" – those with a "relevant floor area" in excess of {{convert\|280\|m2\|ft2\|abbr\=on}}{{cite web\|url\=http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1994/20/schedule/1/data.htm\|title\=Sunday Trading Act 1994\|website\=legislation.gov.uk}} – to open for up to six hours on Sunday between the hours of 10 am and 6 pm.

###### Scotland
Sunday trading laws in [Scotland](/wiki/Scotland "Scotland") are devolved to the [Scottish Parliament](/wiki/Scottish_Parliament "Scottish Parliament").
Scotland has never had any *general* legislation regarding Sunday trading. However, the [Sunday Working (Scotland) Act 2003](/wiki/Sunday_Working_%28Scotland%29_Act_2003 "Sunday Working (Scotland) Act 2003") prohibits shops from compelling their workers to work on Sunday. This lack of restriction allows opening hours of larger shops to be longer than in [England and Wales](/wiki/England_and_Wales "England and Wales") and [Northern Ireland](/wiki/Northern_Ireland "Northern Ireland"), and many large supermarkets remain open seven days a week with little or no adjustment of opening hours at the weekend. There is no equivalent to the legal restriction on Easter Sunday opening that exists in England and Wales, but opening on Christmas Day is very unusual.
Actual practice varies across the country according to local custom and local council regulation. In the [Western Isles](/wiki/Western_Isles "Western Isles"), where the [Free Church of Scotland](/wiki/Free_Church_of_Scotland_%28post_1900%29 "Free Church of Scotland (post 1900)") has a considerable following, there is virtually no commercial activity on Sundays until 6:45 am on Monday. In tourist and holiday areas there is typically an increase in the number of shops opening late and on Sundays during their particular tourist seasons.
Former restrictions include:
* Until 1994 barbers and hairdressers in Scotland were prohibited by s.67 of the [Shops Act 1950](/wiki/Shops_Act_1950 "Shops Act 1950") from carrying out their business on a Sunday.
* Until 2009 alcohol could not be sold until 12:30 pm. This has now changed to 10 am, the same as every other day of the week.{{cite web \| url\=http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/alcoholandbingedrinking/Outrage\-at\-drink\-sales\-for.5494208\.jp \|title \= Outrage at drink sales for Sunday morning}}
###### Northern Ireland
In [Northern Ireland](/wiki/Northern_Ireland "Northern Ireland"), Sunday trading is regulated under the Sunday Trading (Northern Ireland) Order 1997\. Opening hours are more limited for larger stores, or a floor area exceeding {{convert\|280\|m2\|0}}. Normally, a large shop may trade only between the hours of 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. This was to create a greater gap between Sunday services and the opening of large shops, in response to objections from churches, especially the Protestant churches, which have more influence than in the rest of the UK. Large shops within holiday resorts (designated by the district council) may opt for unrestricted trading hours on up to 18 Sundays (but not on [Easter](/wiki/Easter "Easter") Day) per calendar year between the dates of 1 March and 30 September. Shop owners in violation of the Sunday trading law may be fined up to £50,000\.
Pubs in Northern Ireland were not allowed to open on Sundays until 1989\.

### North America
#### Canada
In Canada, each province and territory has its own legislation regarding employment standards and Sunday shopping.
In 1982, the [Supreme Court of Canada](/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_Canada "Supreme Court of Canada") upheld the *[Lord's Day Act](/wiki/Lord%27s_Day_Act_%28Canada%29 "Lord's Day Act (Canada)")*. However, at that time, only the [Canadian Bill of Rights](/wiki/Canadian_Bill_of_Rights "Canadian Bill of Rights") existed. That document only protected existing Canadian rights. As a result, the Court noted that Canada was an overwhelmingly Christian country that had accepted Sunday closing laws for years. The Court determined that the *Lord's Day Act* did not force people to practice Christianity or stop practising their own religion.
However, later that year, the [Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms](/wiki/Canadian_Charter_of_Rights_and_Freedoms "Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms") was introduced, ensuring freedom of conscience and religion, regardless of existing federal or provincial laws. On 24 April 1985, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the *Lord's Day Act* violated Canadians' freedom of religion. The 1985 ruling examined the original purpose of the act. It found that the Christian value of keeping Sunday holy had been incorporated into a law that affected all Canadians, Christian or not. This law—the *Lord's Day Act*—prevented non\-Christians from performing otherwise legal activities on Sundays. This was inconsistent with the Canadian charter.
##### Alberta
In 1984, the province of Alberta granted municipalities the right to allow, or prohibit, retail stores opening on Sundays. By the end of 1984, some stores in Edmonton were open on Sundays, but the controversy over Sunday openings continued for a number of years. In some communities in Alberta, the question was still being debated in 1990\.
##### Nova Scotia
Until October 4, 2006, [Nova Scotia](/wiki/Nova_Scotia "Nova Scotia") was the only province in Canada that prohibited year\-round Sunday shopping. An experiment with the practice was held in 2003 and in 2004 a [binding plebiscite was held](/wiki/Nova_Scotia_Sunday_shopping_referendum%2C_2004 "Nova Scotia Sunday shopping referendum, 2004") which resulted in 45% of voters in favour of Sunday shopping and 55% voting against the practice. The *Retail Business Uniform Closing Day Act* allowed some stores, such as video rental outlets, pharmacies and book stores, to open on Sundays, but department stores had to remain closed. The restrictions were based on the area of a store and its form of business.
By mid\-2006, several grocers in Nova Scotia including [Pete's Frootique](/wiki/Pete_Luckett "Pete Luckett") and larger chains such as [Atlantic Superstore](/wiki/Atlantic_Superstore "Atlantic Superstore") and [Sobeys](/wiki/Sobeys "Sobeys") circumvented the law by reconfiguring their stores on Sundays into separate businesses, each of which was small enough in area to be exempt from the *Retail Business Uniform Closing Day Act*. For example, a Halifax\-area Sobeys location was known as the "Sobeys Queen Street Mall" and housed the Sobeys Retail Fish Store Ltd., Sobeys Fruit Stand Ltd., Sobeys Bakery and Bulk Food Ltd. and eight other separate "businesses".
On June 23, 2006, the [Premier of Nova Scotia](/wiki/Premier_of_Nova_Scotia "Premier of Nova Scotia"), [Rodney MacDonald](/wiki/Rodney_MacDonald "Rodney MacDonald"), announced new limits on Sunday shopping as a means to honour the wishes of voters in the 2004 plebiscite. The proposed new regulations prohibited grocers and other retailers from opening if they reconfigured their businesses as separate operating units after 1 June 2006\. The premier also announced that he would seek the views of the public in a new plebiscite to coincide with municipal elections scheduled for 2008\.
On July 2, 2006, members of the [Halifax Regional Police](/wiki/Halifax_Regional_Police "Halifax Regional Police") entered the Barrington Street [Atlantic Superstore](/wiki/Atlantic_Superstore "Atlantic Superstore") in Halifax with measuring tapes and began an investigation to see if the grocer was in compliance with the *Retail Business Uniform Closing Day Act*. Three days later, on July 5, 2006, [Sobeys](/wiki/Sobeys "Sobeys") filed a motion in the [Supreme Court of Nova Scotia](/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_Nova_Scotia "Supreme Court of Nova Scotia") to have the *Retail Business Uniform Closing Day Act* and the new regulations announced by Premier MacDonald to be declared invalid. Sobeys was joined by [Atlantic Superstore](/wiki/Atlantic_Superstore "Atlantic Superstore") in the case, who entered by seeking intervener status.
[Sobeys](/wiki/Sobeys "Sobeys") felt that the law was unjust since it permitted competitors such as [Pete's Frootique](/wiki/Pete_Luckett "Pete Luckett") in Bedford to open Sundays. Pete's Frootique had taken the provincial government to court seven years earlier and won the right to open on Sundays with its separate operating divisions, thus it was "grandfathered" in the new regulations announced by Premier MacDonald.
On 4 October 2006, the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia ruled that the Government of Nova Scotia had overstepped its authority by forcing the supermarkets to close. In response, Premier Rodney MacDonald announced that effective Sunday, October 8, Sunday shopping would be an unrestricted option open to all retail stores, and can be open on all holidays except Remembrance Day, for which there was a separate provincial law forcing all businesses to close. Since then, Sunday shopping has been adopted throughout the province.
##### Ontario
[thumb\|right\|Sunday Laws in Ontario, 1911](/wiki/File:Ontario_Sunday_Laws.jpg "Ontario Sunday Laws.jpg")
After the demise of the *Lord's Day Act*, the *Retail Business Holidays Act* of Ontario still prohibited most stores from opening on Sundays. However, there were exceptions to these rules (for example, gas stations, convenience stores, tourist areas). Many store owners who opposed the law decided to open their stores on Sundays, knowing they were breaking the law. Some, such as [Marc Emery](/wiki/Marc_Emery "Marc Emery"), were jailed for doing so.
In June 1990, the Supreme Court of Ontario found the act to be unconstitutional. As a result, Ontario had nine months of open\-wide Sunday shopping, until the [Ontario Court of Appeal](/wiki/Ontario_Court_of_Appeal "Ontario Court of Appeal")'s reversal of the decision in March 1991\.{{cite report\|url\=http://arts.uwaterloo.ca/\~skuterud/eer.pdf\|url\-status\=dead\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20060911092919/http://arts.uwaterloo.ca/\~skuterud/eer.pdf\|archive\-date\=11 September 2006\|title\=The Impact of Sunday Shopping on Employment and Hours of Work in the Retail Industry: Evidence from Canada\|first\=Mikal\|last\=Skuterud\|publisher\=Statistics Canada}}
However, public opposition to Sunday closing continued to rise. Bowing to public pressure, the [Rae government](/wiki/Bob_Rae%23Premier "Bob Rae#Premier") amended the *Retail Business Holidays Act* in June 1992 to permit Sunday shopping in Ontario.{{cite news \|title\=Ontario allows Sunday shopping \|newspaper\=Edmonton Journal \|date\=4 June 1992 \|page\=A10}}
##### Other Canadian provinces
Several other provinces have restrictions of some degree on Sunday shopping.
In [Prince Edward Island](/wiki/Prince_Edward_Island "Prince Edward Island"), it is only permitted after 12 noon from the Sunday before Victoria Day until Christmas Eve. This was repealed on November 25, 2010, allowing stores to open at any time on Sunday year\-round.
In [Manitoba](/wiki/Manitoba "Manitoba"), it is up to each municipality for approval. As of January 2021, Sunday shopping is permitted without restrictions.
In [New Brunswick](/wiki/New_Brunswick "New Brunswick"), the decisions require dual approval from municipal and provincial officials (although that is in the process of being changed), otherwise it is only permitted from August to the first Sunday in January. Some cities restrict Sunday hours to 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm. [Fredericton](/wiki/Fredericton "Fredericton") has recently (as of August 12, 2013\) passed a law revoking any restrictions on Sunday shopping hours.
In the 1990s, [Quebec](/wiki/Quebec "Quebec") allowed wide\-open shopping from 8:00 am until 5:00 pm the exception being grocery stores that could remain open later, but they could not have more than four employees on staff after 5:00 pm. The law was changed in the 2000s to allow supermarkets to remain open until 8:00\.
pm with an unlimited number of employees.
Other provinces allow wide\-open shopping all day on most Sundays (except when it falls on a holiday or when objected by municipalities).
[Newfoundland and Labrador](/wiki/Newfoundland_and_Labrador "Newfoundland and Labrador") lifted restrictions on retail stores operating on Sundays starting on January 1, 1998\.{{cite web\|title\=News Release: Sunday Shopping\|url\=http://www.releases.gov.nl.ca/releases/1997/envlab/1212n01\.htm\|access\-date\=2 March 2014}}
#### United States
{{More citations needed section\|date\=November 2011}}
Many states in the United States have reduced hours of operation on Sundays in some form or another. A few local municipalities still prohibit Sunday shopping. Some local jurisdictions have regulations on if and when bars and restaurants may be open on Sundays.
##### New Jersey
One of the last major areas to completely prohibit Sunday shopping is [Bergen County, New Jersey](/wiki/Bergen_County%2C_New_Jersey "Bergen County, New Jersey").{{cite news \|first\= Charles\|last\= Strum\|title\=Sunday\-Closing Law Retained in New Jersey County \|url\=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res\=9F0CE7D8143CF930A35752C1A965958260 \|work\=The New York Times \|date\=3 November 1993 \|access\-date\=2008\-06\-25 }} This area contains one of the largest and most popular commercial shopping cores of the [New York metropolitan area](/wiki/New_York_metropolitan_area "New York metropolitan area") (for example, one of four local [IKEA](/wiki/IKEA "IKEA") stores is found here, the store is the only one in the United States to be closed on Sunday, and is also home to four large shopping malls). Ironically, the area is not considered to be particularly very religious compared to the U.S. population at large, and it also has significant [Jewish](/wiki/American_Jews "American Jews") and [Muslim](/wiki/Islam_in_the_United_States "Islam in the United States") populations whose observant members would not be celebrating the Sabbath on Sunday. Attempts to repeal the law have failed as many locals either like to keep the law on the books as a protest against the growing trend of increased Sunday shopping activity in American society or fear the potential increase of Sunday traffic on major local roads such as [Route 4](/wiki/New_Jersey_Route_4 "New Jersey Route 4") or [Route 17](/wiki/New_Jersey_Route_17 "New Jersey Route 17"). Some local [Orthodox Jews](/wiki/Orthodox_Judaism "Orthodox Judaism") who are off both days of the weekend have complained about the law because it limits their ability to get shopping done on the weekend without having to travel to a neighboring county as religious beliefs prohibit shopping on [Friday night or on Saturday before nightfall](/wiki/Shabbat "Shabbat"), which in the summer can be right before most department stores and malls close. Governor [Chris Christie](/wiki/Chris_Christie "Chris Christie") made an unsuccessful attempt in 2010 to remove the law bringing extra tax revenue for the state budget, then in 2012, he suspended the law after [Hurricane Sandy](/wiki/Hurricane_Sandy "Hurricane Sandy") which lasted for one Sunday, but went back into effect later.
##### North Dakota
[North Dakota](/wiki/North_Dakota "North Dakota") has one of the toughest blue laws in the United States, this requires all stores to be closed from midnight to noon on Sundays. This was changed in 1991\. Prior to this, all sales were prohibited on a Sunday.{{cite news\|url\=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/02/12/us/for\-north\-dakota\-shoppers\-no\-more\-minnesota\-sundays.html\|title\=For North Dakota Shoppers, No More Minnesota Sundays\|agency\=Associated Press\|work\=The New York Times\|date\=12 February 1991\|access\-date\=30 January 2012}}
##### Georgia and Oklahoma
[Georgia](/wiki/Georgia_%28US_state%29 "Georgia (US state)") and Oklahoma require liquor stores to be closed on Sundays, as did Minnesota until 2017\.{{Cite news\|url\=https://www.reuters.com/article/us\-minnesota\-alcohol\-idUSKBN16F29W\|title\=Minnesota governor signs law allowing Sunday liquor sales\|date\=2017\-03\-08\|work\=Reuters\|access\-date\=2020\-03\-10\|language\=en}} However, alcohol can still be served in restaurants and bars on Sunday unless local (county or city) ordinances prohibit or restrict their doing so. For instance, in Georgia, most of the [Metro Atlanta](/wiki/Metro_Atlanta "Metro Atlanta") area counties serve alcohol at restaurants and bars, but the establishments must have a certain amount of food sales in order to be opened and serve alcohol on Sundays. Yet many of Georgia's rural counties and some outer metropolitan Atlanta counties, such as [Barrow County](/wiki/Bartow_County%2C_Georgia "Bartow County, Georgia"), remain completely dry on Sundays. In those counties on Sundays, bars are closed, and restaurants are allowed to operate but are prohibited from serving alcohol. There was discussion in the Georgia legislature in the late 2000s (decade) to repeal the state's blue laws regarding Sunday retail alcohol sales in a measure to increase tax revenue. However, then\-Governor [Sonny Perdue](/wiki/Sonny_Perdue "Sonny Perdue") said that he would not sign the bills repealing the laws if they passed in Georgia's state house and senate. In Oklahoma, it is illegal to sell packaged liquor (off\-premises sales) on Sundays, as well as Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
##### Virginia
[Virginia](/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Virginia "Commonwealth of Virginia") prohibits [hard liquor](/wiki/Hard_liquor "Hard liquor") sales except through stores operated by its state\-owned [Alcoholic Beverage Commission](/wiki/Alcoholic_beverage_control_state "Alcoholic beverage control state") (ABC), which sets hours for its own stores and currently dictates that all or almost all of its establishments are to remain closed on Sundays. In this way, the combination of state\-enforced monopoly and state\-sanctioned authority to set hours results in a *de facto* prohibition on Sunday hard liquor sales in Virginia. Although grocery and convenience stores may sell beer and wine containing 14% or less alcohol by volume, state law permits localities to prohibit Sunday sales of these alcoholic beverages as well.
##### North Carolina
[North Carolina](/wiki/North_Carolina "North Carolina") only permits hard liquor to be sold through state\-controlled stores that are almost all closed on Sundays. Beer and wine may be sold in grocery and convenience stores, but only after noon on Sunday.
##### District of Columbia
The [District of Columbia](/wiki/Washington%2C_D.C. "Washington, D.C.") prohibits sales of alcohol by liquor stores on Sundays. Grocery stores and retailers selling alcohol to be consumed on their premises are not subject to this prohibition.{{cite web \|title\=Laws and Regulations \|work\=Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration \|publisher\=District of Columbia \|access\-date\=18 December 2011 \|url\=http://abra.dc.gov/DC/ABRA/About\+ABRA/Frequently\+Asked\+Questions/Laws\+and\+Regulations?detailBean\=contentBean\#4 }}
##### Others
Some states, including Indiana and Pennsylvania, also prohibit car dealerships from selling vehicles on Sunday.

However, at that time, only the [Canadian Bill of Rights](/wiki/Canadian_Bill_of_Rights \"Canadian Bill of Rights\") existed. That document only protected existing Canadian rights.

##### Other Canadian provinces
Several other provinces have restrictions of some degree on Sunday shopping.
In [Prince Edward Island](/wiki/Prince_Edward_Island "Prince Edward Island"), it is only permitted after 12 noon from the Sunday before Victoria Day until Christmas Eve. This was repealed on November 25, 2010, allowing stores to open at any time on Sunday year\-round.
In [Manitoba](/wiki/Manitoba "Manitoba"), it is up to each municipality for approval. As of January 2021, Sunday shopping is permitted without restrictions.
In [New Brunswick](/wiki/New_Brunswick "New Brunswick"), the decisions require dual approval from municipal and provincial officials (although that is in the process of being changed), otherwise it is only permitted from August to the first Sunday in January. Some cities restrict Sunday hours to 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm. [Fredericton](/wiki/Fredericton "Fredericton") has recently (as of August 12, 2013\) passed a law revoking any restrictions on Sunday shopping hours.
In the 1990s, [Quebec](/wiki/Quebec "Quebec") allowed wide\-open shopping from 8:00 am until 5:00 pm the exception being grocery stores that could remain open later, but they could not have more than four employees on staff after 5:00 pm. The law was changed in the 2000s to allow supermarkets to remain open until 8:00\.
pm with an unlimited number of employees.
Other provinces allow wide\-open shopping all day on most Sundays (except when it falls on a holiday or when objected by municipalities).
[Newfoundland and Labrador](/wiki/Newfoundland_and_Labrador "Newfoundland and Labrador") lifted restrictions on retail stores operating on Sundays starting on January 1, 1998\.{{cite web\|title\=News Release: Sunday Shopping\|url\=http://www.releases.gov.nl.ca/releases/1997/envlab/1212n01\.htm\|access\-date\=2 March 2014}}

"#### Canada",
"In Canada, each province and territory has its own legislation regarding employment standards and Sunday shopping.",
"In 1982, the [Supreme Court of Canada](/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_Canada \"Supreme Court of Canada\") upheld the *[Lord's Day Act](/wiki/Lord%27s_Day_Act_%28Canada%29 \"Lord's Day Act (Canada)\")*. However, at that time, only the [Canadian Bill of Rights](/wiki/Canadian_Bill_of_Rights \"Canadian Bill of Rights\") existed. That document only protected existing Canadian rights. As a result, the Court noted that Canada was an overwhelmingly Christian country that had accepted Sunday closing laws for years. The Court determined that the *Lord's Day Act* did not force people to practice Christianity or stop practising their own religion.",
"However, later that year, the [Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms](/wiki/Canadian_Charter_of_Rights_and_Freedoms \"Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms\") was introduced, ensuring freedom of conscience and religion, regardless of existing federal or provincial laws. On 24 April 1985, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the *Lord's Day Act* violated Canadians' freedom of religion. The 1985 ruling examined the original purpose of the act. It found that the Christian value of keeping Sunday holy had been incorporated into a law that affected all Canadians, Christian or not. This law—the *Lord's Day Act*—prevented non\\-Christians from performing otherwise legal activities on Sundays. This was inconsistent with the Canadian charter.",
"##### Alberta",
"In 1984, the province of Alberta granted municipalities the right to allow, or prohibit, retail stores opening on Sundays. By the end of 1984, some stores in Edmonton were open on Sundays, but the controversy over Sunday openings continued for a number of years. In some communities in Alberta, the question was still being debated in 1990\\.",
"##### Nova Scotia",
"Until October 4, 2006, [Nova Scotia](/wiki/Nova_Scotia \"Nova Scotia\") was the only province in Canada that prohibited year\\-round Sunday shopping. An experiment with the practice was held in 2003 and in 2004 a [binding plebiscite was held](/wiki/Nova_Scotia_Sunday_shopping_referendum%2C_2004 \"Nova Scotia Sunday shopping referendum, 2004\") which resulted in 45% of voters in favour of Sunday shopping and 55% voting against the practice. The *Retail Business Uniform Closing Day Act* allowed some stores, such as video rental outlets, pharmacies and book stores, to open on Sundays, but department stores had to remain closed. The restrictions were based on the area of a store and its form of business.",
"By mid\\-2006, several grocers in Nova Scotia including [Pete's Frootique](/wiki/Pete_Luckett \"Pete Luckett\") and larger chains such as [Atlantic Superstore](/wiki/Atlantic_Superstore \"Atlantic Superstore\") and [Sobeys](/wiki/Sobeys \"Sobeys\") circumvented the law by reconfiguring their stores on Sundays into separate businesses, each of which was small enough in area to be exempt from the *Retail Business Uniform Closing Day Act*. For example, a Halifax\\-area Sobeys location was known as the \"Sobeys Queen Street Mall\" and housed the Sobeys Retail Fish Store Ltd., Sobeys Fruit Stand Ltd., Sobeys Bakery and Bulk Food Ltd. and eight other separate \"businesses\".",

The premier also announced that he would seek the views of the public in a new plebiscite to coincide with municipal elections scheduled for 2008\\.",
"On July 2, 2006, members of the [Halifax Regional Police](/wiki/Halifax_Regional_Police \"Halifax Regional Police\") entered the Barrington Street [Atlantic Superstore](/wiki/Atlantic_Superstore \"Atlantic Superstore\") in Halifax with measuring tapes and began an investigation to see if the grocer was in compliance with the *Retail Business Uniform Closing Day Act*. Three days later, on July 5, 2006, [Sobeys](/wiki/Sobeys \"Sobeys\") filed a motion in the [Supreme Court of Nova Scotia](/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_Nova_Scotia \"Supreme Court of Nova Scotia\") to have the *Retail Business Uniform Closing Day Act* and the new regulations announced by Premier MacDonald to be declared invalid. Sobeys was joined by [Atlantic Superstore](/wiki/Atlantic_Superstore \"Atlantic Superstore\") in the case, who entered by seeking intervener status.",
"[Sobeys](/wiki/Sobeys \"Sobeys\") felt that the law was unjust since it permitted competitors such as [Pete's Frootique](/wiki/Pete_Luckett \"Pete Luckett\") in Bedford to open Sundays. Pete's Frootique had taken the provincial government to court seven years earlier and won the right to open on Sundays with its separate operating divisions, thus it was \"grandfathered\" in the new regulations announced by Premier MacDonald.",
"On 4 October 2006, the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia ruled that the Government of Nova Scotia had overstepped its authority by forcing the supermarkets to close. In response, Premier Rodney MacDonald announced that effective Sunday, October 8, Sunday shopping would be an unrestricted option open to all retail stores, and can be open on all holidays except Remembrance Day, for which there was a separate provincial law forcing all businesses to close. Since then, Sunday shopping has been adopted throughout the province.",

#### Australia
[thumb\|1982 and 1984 [ABC](/wiki/Australian_Broadcasting_Corporation "Australian Broadcasting Corporation") news reports of Australian hardware store owner [Frank Penhalluriack](/wiki/Frank_Penhalluriack "Frank Penhalluriack")'s attempt to trade on Sunday](/wiki/File:ABC_Penhalluriack.ogv "ABC Penhalluriack.ogv")
The situation in Australia is not uniform, as each of its [states and territories](/wiki/States_and_territories_of_Australia "States and territories of Australia") has its own laws. Historically, shops closed for the weekend on Saturday afternoons, with South Australia being the first state to allow Saturday afternoon opening. Most states now allow Sunday opening, with unregulated trading in NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory.
Certain shops are generally made exempt, or partially exempt, from trading hours laws (including restrictions on Sunday trading) under certain conditions. Shops that are not exempt from trading hours restrictions are referred to as "general" or "non\-exempt" shops. Although these vary from state to state, generally speaking, exemptions can be based on one or more of the following:
* a maximum number of employees employed by the shop, or staffed at any one time (for example, [New South Wales](/wiki/New_South_Wales "New South Wales") exempts shops with no more than four staff at any one timeState of [New South Wales](/wiki/New_South_Wales "New South Wales") (2 January 2006\).

* by the type of goods the shop sells – for example, hardware and furniture shops are often partially exempted, while shops such as newsagents, flowers, certain food shops (other than supermarkets) and chemists are often fully exempt, or
* by its location, often in significant tourist areas – either by inclusion,[Queensland](/wiki/Queensland "Queensland") Government Department of Employment and Industrial Relations.

Trading hours in New South Wales are largely deregulated following the enactment of the *Shop Trading Act 2008*,New South Wales Government Department of Industrial Relations (2009\).

Retrieved 8 November 2010\. types of goods traded; other shops must apply for an exemption to trade on a restricted day through the Department of Industrial Relations.
Prior to these laws, shops not generally exempted were required to apply to trade on Sunday and other public holidays, to be granted if the shop was "serving predominantly the tourist or visitor trade, significant public demand or operates in a holiday resort area".New South Wales Government Office of Industrial Relations. [Regulation of Shop Trading Hours in NSW – An Outline](http://www.industrialrelations.nsw.gov.au/about/services/licensing/retail.html). Retrieved 2008\-03\-21\. In practice however, Sunday trading remained commonplace.
##### Victoria
Trading hours are deregulated in [Victoria](/wiki/Victoria_%28Australia%29 "Victoria (Australia)"); shopping is allowed at any time, except for [Anzac Day](/wiki/Anzac_Day "Anzac Day") morning (before 1 pm), [Good Friday](/wiki/Good_Friday "Good Friday") and Christmas Day. Victoria is also famous for first introducing round\-the\-clock 36\-hour shopping before Christmas, even if this fell on a Sunday. In Victoria [Boxing Day](/wiki/Boxing_Day "Boxing Day") is also one of the busiest days of the shopping year, and many stores are open through extended hours even if it falls on a Sunday. Victoria is one of only a select number of states which feature 24\-hour Kmart stores, open every day of the year except for Christmas Day.
##### Queensland
Non\-exempt shops in [Queensland](/wiki/Queensland "Queensland") are permitted to trade from 9 am to 6 pm and from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm in certain coastal towns north of Brisbane. Permission for regional cities to trade on Sundays is made by the local council that governs it.
##### South Australia
South Australia introduced Sunday trading for non\-exempt shops in 2003\. Non\-exempt shops are restricted to opening between 9 am and 5 pm in the [Adelaide](/wiki/Adelaide%2C_South_Australia "Adelaide, South Australia") metropolitan area. Trading hours are also restricted in a number of "Proclaimed Shopping Districts" in country South Australia, where non\-exempt shops must remain closed on Sunday. Local governments can apply to have their Proclaimed Shopping District altered or abolished.Government of South Australia (25 January 2007\).

The Retail Trading Hours Act 1987 applies to retail shops in Western Australia south of the 26th parallel. It sets out the trading hours and rules covering various categories of retail outlets. The trading hours of restaurants, cafes and takeaway food shops are not covered by the Act.
General retail shops are permitted to trade in the Perth metropolitan area between 8:00 am and 9:00 pm Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm on Saturday, 11:00 am to 5:00 pm Sunday and public holidays.

History
-------
Actionslacks formed in Northern California's East Bay in 1994 when ex\-Pillbox members Tim Scanlin and Mark Wijsen met drummer Marty Kelly and discovered a mutual appreciation of late\-70s English [punk rock](/wiki/Punk_rock "Punk rock"), 1980s American [post\-punk](/wiki/Post-punk "Post-punk") and guitar\-based [New Zealand indie rock](/wiki/Kiwi_rock "Kiwi rock"). The band played one gig in [Berkeley, California](/wiki/Berkeley%2C_California "Berkeley, California") under the name [King Friday](/wiki/King_Friday "King Friday") but changed their name after Scanlin realized he "just couldn't be in a band named after a puppet."
The band soon became a regular on the San Francisco and [West Coast](/wiki/West_Coast_of_the_United_States "West Coast of the United States") club circuit and released the "Tugboat Mutiny" b/w "A.C.R.O.N.Y.M." [7\-inch single](/wiki/7-inch_single "7-inch single") on their own Permanent Records imprint. In 1996 the band's first full\-length, *[Too Bright, Just Right, Good Night](/wiki/Too_Bright%2C_Just_Right%2C_Good_Night_%28album%29 "Too Bright, Just Right, Good Night (album)")* was released on the Minneapolis [Skene!](/wiki/Skene%21_Records "Skene! Records") label. Actionslacks' second LP, *[One Word](/wiki/One_Word_%28album%29 "One Word (album)")* (a reference to the spelling of their name as well as a nod to the influence of [Overwhelming Colorfast](/wiki/Overwhelming_Colorfast "Overwhelming Colorfast")'s second album *Two Words*) was recorded in 1997 and released in 1998 by the [Arena Rock Recording Company](/wiki/Arena_Rock_Recording_Company "Arena Rock Recording Company"). The band toured with labelmates [Harvey Danger](/wiki/Harvey_Danger "Harvey Danger") and an ascendant [Death Cab for Cutie](/wiki/Death_Cab_for_Cutie "Death Cab for Cutie") in support of the record.
Wijsen left the band in late\-1998 and Scanlin and Kelly began working on more pop\-oriented songs, first with producers Greg Freeman ([Pell Mell](/wiki/Pell_Mell_%28band%29 "Pell Mell (band)"), Virginia Dare) and Jeff Palmer ([Granfalloon Bus](/wiki/Granfalloon_Bus "Granfalloon Bus"), [Sunny Day Real Estate](/wiki/Sunny_Day_Real_Estate "Sunny Day Real Estate"), [Mommyheads](/wiki/Mommyheads "Mommyheads")) and later with new band members Aaron Rubin (bass; [Mr. T Experience](/wiki/Mr._T_Experience "Mr. T Experience"), [Samiam](/wiki/Samiam "Samiam")) and Chuck Lindo (guitar and vocals; [The Nukes](/wiki/The_Nukes "The Nukes"), [Jumbo Shrimp](/wiki/Jumbo_Shrimp_%28band%29 "Jumbo Shrimp (band)"), [The American Professionals](/wiki/The_American_Professionals "The American Professionals")). *[The Scene's Out of Sight](/wiki/The_Scene%27s_Out_of_Sight_%28album%29 "The Scene's Out of Sight (album)")* was recorded in the fall of 1999 with producer/engineer (and [Jawbox](/wiki/Jawbox "Jawbox")\-frontperson) [J. Robbins](/wiki/J._Robbins "J. Robbins") at John Vanderslice's [Tiny Telephone Studios](/wiki/Tiny_Telephone_Studios "Tiny Telephone Studios") and released in early 2001 by the Self\-Starter Foundation. The band's following grew in part due to well\-timed promotions with [Napster](/wiki/Napster "Napster"), various song placements in television shows and video games, and a strong showing on [college radio](/wiki/College_radio "College radio"). Prior to touring in support of the album, Rubin left the band and Lindo took time off to attend to other projects. Enter new permanent bassist Ross Murray and touring guitarist/singer Doug Modie.
In 2002, Scanlin moved to [Los Angeles](/wiki/Los_Angeles "Los Angeles") and the band began a continuing long\-distance relationship. *[Full Upright Position](/wiki/Full_Upright_Position_%28album%29 "Full Upright Position (album)")* was written and recorded between 2001 and 2003 in various studios in California and [Washington, DC](/wiki/Washington%2C_DC "Washington, DC"). J. Robbins once again engineered and the band produced, venturing into the far\-ranging territory of multi\-instrumentation, elaborate arrangements and stylistic diversity (including elements of pop, alt\-country and electronica). The album's release was complicated by Kelly's relocation to [Maine](/wiki/Maine "Maine") in late 2003 and record label issues. Nevertheless, the band managed to tour both the East and West coasts, adding keyboard/vocalist Darice Bailey to help reproduce the band's new sound. Actionslacks took a semi\-hiatus beginning in late 2004, with occasional live appearances and writing sessions amid individual projects, careers, and family life.
In early 2008, the band was reinvigorated by the idea of a new writing and recording paradigm, writing new tracks via online collaboration and meeting up at Tiny Telephone to rehearse and record over the course of 8 days with engineer [Aaron Prellwitz](/wiki/Aaron_Prellwitz "Aaron Prellwitz"). The resulting collection, which marks a return to the aggressive yet tuneful punk sound of *The Scene's Out of Sight*, was self\-released as *[Kids With Guitars](/wiki/Kids_With_Guitars_%28album%29 "Kids With Guitars (album)")* in spring 2009\. Downloaders were invited to pay however much they wished for the record.
The long\-distance writing approach was repeated in late 2009 and also culminated in a recording session at Tiny Telephone. While gathered the band celebrated its 15th anniversary with a show at the [Bottom of the Hill](/wiki/Bottom_of_the_hill "Bottom of the hill"). The six songs recorded during the session ultimately made up the band's final release, 2012's self\-titled EP.

Plot
----
Jerilee Randall, an innocent high school student, living in the [San Fernando Valley](/wiki/San_Fernando_Valley "San Fernando Valley"), dreams of becoming a famous writer. Shortly after winning a trophy for her creative writing, she meets Walt, the son of famous screenwriter Walter Thornton, at a party. She goes home with him and some of his friends with the promise of meeting his father, whose work she admires. At the Thorntons' pool, one of Walt's friends beats her and then [sexually assaults](/wiki/Sexual_assault "Sexual assault") her with a garden hose nozzle.
Walter arrives after the assault and saves Jerilee from further attacks. A friendship, then a love affair, develops between them, and they soon marry, though Jerilee's mother disapproves. Jerilee publishes her first book, which becomes a bestseller.
The marriage begins to crumble when Jerilee rewrites one of Walter's scripts, although she only added the word "Why?" Despite this, the revised script benefits the actress delivering the line, and she thanks Walter, who takes credit for the rewrite. Separation becomes a certainty when Walter scorns Jerilee during an argument and accuses her of enjoying having been assaulted years ago.
After leaving Walter, Jerilee has several affairs while trying to produce her screenplay. An affair with married actor George Ballantine results in pregnancy; upon realizing he would not support her, she gets an [abortion](/wiki/Abortion "Abortion"). Jerilee meets with club owner Vincent Dacosta, who offers to connect her with movie agents, and ends up working for him as a waitress to make ends meet. Eventually, she has an affair with him as well. When meeting the agent Vincent promised would represent her, she realizes that he sent her to have sex with the agent and his female companion. After Jerilee confronts Vincent, he throws her screenplay at her, mocking her while he's on drugs and naked with two other women. Jerilee has a [mental breakdown](/wiki/Mental_breakdown "Mental breakdown") in a sequence wherein she sees the faces of callous people of her past appear on her typewriter keys.
After spending time in a sanitarium, Jerilee rewrites her screenplay. She reconnects with director Guy Jackson, who helps get her script produced successfully; however, she's expected to have sex once again, this time with the producer's wife. At the prestigious live movie awards telecast, Jerilee wins the best original screenplay award for her film, *The Hold\-Outs.* On stage, she bluntly criticizes the Hollywood system, in which women have to "fuck \[their] way to the top," and admits to her ex\-husband Walter that she never learned "the meaning of self\-respect." Jerilee then refuses the award, departing the auditorium with her newfound dignity.

Like the 2005 game, the 2008 matchup was billed as a battle between two great quarterbacks, [Colt McCoy](/wiki/Colt_McCoy "Colt McCoy") of Texas and Chase Daniel of Missouri having both been mentioned as possible [Heisman trophy](/wiki/Heisman_trophy "Heisman trophy") candidates. Texas was playing their first home game as a number\-one ranked team since 1977\. Missouri won their first five games of 2008 and had moved into third place in the nation before they were upset at home by the Oklahoma State Cowboys and fell to eleventh place.

Missouri won the coin toss and elected to receive the kickoff. They returned the ball to their 40 yard\-line. On the first play from scrimmage, Missouri tried a reverse, but Texas dropped them for a loss and Missouri went three\-and\-out. Missouri had gone without a three\-and\-out for the whole season until having two during their loss the previous week against Oklahoma State. The Missouri punt rolled to the Texas 5\-yard line.

Texas had the ball 5\-times in the first half and scored a touchdown each time, taking a 35–0 lead. Missouri scored a field goal at the end of the first half to make the score 35–3\. Texas was forced to punt on their first possession of the second half and Missouri scored a touchdown to narrow the lead to 35–10\.

McCoy completed the game with 337 yards on 29\-of\-32 passing with two touchdowns, rushed for two more and at one point completed a school\-record 17 passes in a row.

ESPN's recap of the game said, "And when McCoy dribbled the ball on the ground only to pick it up and throw a strike that kept the last drive of the half alive, he created the 'Did you just see that?' moment of the season so far. With one half of near\-perfect football, Texas buried not only the remnants of the Sooners and the Tigers, but any doubt about who deserves to be No. 1\. For now."

##### 1890s–1914
According to [Valerie Steele](/wiki/Valerie_Steele "Valerie Steele"), by the end of the 19th century, Parisian women were wearing bloomers more commonly than English and American women, probably because bloomers were presented as a fashionable item in France rather than a quasi\-feminist statement, which fashion writers strongly disliked. By 1895, however, many middle\-class American girls had adopted the bike and the bloomer and began to call themselves "[New Women](/wiki/New_Woman "New Woman")," despite society's resistance. Meanwhile, these early women's trousers diversified according to their uses for gymnastics, bathing, cycling or titillation.

[Jeanne Margaine\-Lacroix](/wiki/Jeanne_Margaine-Lacroix "Jeanne Margaine-Lacroix") presented wide\-legged trousers for women in 1910, some months before [Paul Poiret](/wiki/Paul_Poiret "Paul Poiret"), who took credit for being the first to introduce the style.{{cite book\|last1\=Milford\-Cottam\|first1\=Daniel\|title\=Edwardian fashion\|date\=2014\|publisher\=Shire Books\|isbn\=9780747814047\|page\=55}}

During the [First World War](/wiki/First_World_War "First World War") (1914–1918\), many women in countries such as France, the United Kingdom and the United States were recruited to work in factories, especially munitions factories, to aid the war effort, or to replace men in service sectors such as public transport. While many men were sent to the front line to fight, their wives often started to wear their trousers or [boiler suits](/wiki/Boilersuits "Boilersuits") inside the factories for better safety and comfort. Over time, specific designs tailored to the practical needs of female industrial workers were developed by other women. Although it was considered daring as they challenged dress norms in doing so, necessitated by the circumstances, women's trousers gained some social acceptability during the war years.{{Cite book \|last\=Smith \|first\=Stephanie A. \|date\=2001 \|title\=The Cambridge Companion to Nineteenth\-Century American Women's Writing \|chapter\=Antebellum politics and women's writing \|chapter\-url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=Cl90oCk0cncC\&pg\=PA72 \|location\=Cambridge \|publisher\=Cambridge University Press \|page\=72 \|isbn\=9780521669757 \|access\-date\=21 November 2020}}{{Cite book \|last\=Hill \|first\=Daniel Delis \|date\=2002 \|title\=Advertising to the American Woman, 1900\-1999 \|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=HY5qgKfwmsEC\&pg\=PA137 \|location\=Columbus, Ohio \|publisher\=Ohio State University Press \|pages\=137–138 \|isbn\=9780814208908 \|access\-date\=21 November 2020}}
However, arrests for women wearing trousers did not cease. For instance, in 1919, labour leader [Luisa Capetillo](/wiki/Luisa_Capetillo "Luisa Capetillo") became the first woman in [Puerto Rico](/wiki/Puerto_Rico "Puerto Rico") to wear trousers in public. Capetillo was sent to jail for what was then considered to be a crime in Puerto Rico, although the judge later dropped the charges against her. She would repeat this act of rebellion again stepping off the boat into Cuba where the judge was not so lenient leading to her serving time.{{Cite web\|url\=http://andrejkoymasky.com/liv/fam/bioc1/cape2\.html\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20080907162014/http://andrejkoymasky.com/liv/fam/bioc1/cape2\.html\|url\-status\=dead\|title\=Luisa Capetillo Perone\|archive\-date\=7 September 2008}}

During the post\-war years into the early 1920s, French and American clothing manufacturers appear to have been confused on what kind of clothes to make for women, as some thought prewar norms should be restored, whilst others sought ways forward and evolution. With economies still in tatters and certain fabrics in short supply, this forced designers to be creative, with most initially focusing on new types and designs of skirts and dresses. Meanwhile, however, after gaining more socioeconomic independence by doing paid work in the absence of their husbands, women in many countries successfully campaigned for the right to vote, obtaining more political power and social autonomy. Athleticism and sports were increasingly accepted as activities for women, wearing more convenient trousers which were decreasingly called '[bloomers](/wiki/Bloomers "Bloomers")', and no longer explicitly associated with [feminist activism](/wiki/Feminist_activism "Feminist activism").
Women increasingly wore trousers as leisurewear in the 1920s and 30s, and working women, including female pilots, often wore trousers.{{Cite thesis \|title\=DSpace Angular Universal \|year\=2003 \|url\=https://dr.lib.iastate.edu/handle/20\.500\.12876/80106/ \|doi\=10\.31274/rtd\-180813\-18\|last1\=Lee \|first1\=Yhe\-Young \|publisher\=Iowa State University }}

[Eleanor Roosevelt](/wiki/Eleanor_Roosevelt "Eleanor Roosevelt") became the first [First Lady](/wiki/First_Lady "First Lady") to appear in trousers at a formal function, presiding over the [Easter Egg Roll](/wiki/Easter_Egg_Roll "Easter Egg Roll") in 1933 wearing riding trousers, a consequence of not having time to change after an early morning ride. However, she seemed to embrace the unconventional circumstance, posing for a photo in the trousers on the [South Portico](/wiki/South_Portico "South Portico") of the White House.{{cite web \|url\=http://www.firstladies.org/blog/first\-ladies\-wearing\-pants/ \|last\=Anthony \|first\=Carl \|title\=First Ladies Wearing Pants \|access\-date\=March 14, 2018}}
American women [fencers](/wiki/Fencing "Fencing") were originally required to wear skirts when competing. In 1937, the [Amateur Fencers League of America](/wiki/Amateur_Fencers_League_of_America "Amateur Fencers League of America") issued a new rule book stating, among other things, that after September 1, 1939, women would be allowed to wear either a "divided skirt" or "loose\-fitting white trousers fastened below the knee".[Evangelista, Nick](/wiki/Nick_Evangelista "Nick Evangelista")., Evangelista, Anita. *The Woman Fencer*.

During [World War II](/wiki/World_War_II "World War II") (1939–1945\), history repeated itself on a larger scale, with more women than in World War I cutting their hair and donning trousers to work in factories more safely while men were sent to the battlefields. In 1942–1945, more American women entered the workforce than ever before. Unlike previous decades, American manufacturers did not look to Parisian couture designs for inspiration, but developed their own clothing styles, within the limits set by war\-time necessity. Only cotton, wool blends, or synthetics such as rayon were available; fabrics reserved purely for military used included pure wool (uniforms, military coats, and blankets) and silk and nylon (primarily for parachutes). There was little colour and ornamentation, since these were regarded as inappropriately ostentatious and unpatriotic in war time, when conservation and self\-discipline were critical. Women working in industrial work in war service wore their husbands' trousers.{{Citation needed \|date\=March 2018}}
Similarly, in Britain, because of the rationing of clothing, many women took to wearing their husbands' civilian clothes to work while their husbands were away in the armed forces. This was partly because they were seen as work garments, and partly to allow women to keep their clothing allowance for other uses. As the men's clothes wore out, replacements were needed, so that by the summer of 1944 it was reported that sales of women's trousers were five times more than in the previous year.L.W.N. Smith.

Unlike the [Interwar Period](/wiki/Interwar_period "Interwar period"), women's trousers made a lasting breakthrough after [World War II](/wiki/World_War_II "World War II"), both as a piece of clothing for everyday use and as a fashion statement. In the post\-war era trousers or slacks were still common casual wear for gardening, socialising, and other leisure pursuits; apart from leisure, however, only actresses such as [Marlene Dietrich](/wiki/Marlene_Dietrich "Marlene Dietrich"), [Katharine Hepburn](/wiki/Katharine_Hepburn "Katharine Hepburn") and [Audrey Hepburn](/wiki/Audrey_Hepburn "Audrey Hepburn") or other fashionable women such as [Coco Chanel](/wiki/Coco_Chanel "Coco Chanel") wore them in public for everyday use. In general, most women had reverted to skirts and dresses as the standard outfit in workplaces such as offices by the late 1950s. It was not until [capri pants](/wiki/Capri_pants "Capri pants") became fashionable in the late 1950s that significant changes began to manifest.
[Jeans](/wiki/Jeans "Jeans") (and [Bermuda shorts](/wiki/Bermuda_shorts "Bermuda shorts")) were prohibited entirely for female students at [Penn State University](/wiki/Penn_State_University "Penn State University") until 1954, when the ban was lifted only for off\-campus events.{{cite web \|last1\=Bezilla \|first1\=Michael \|title\=Expansion and Its Consequences \|url\=https://libraries.psu.edu/about/collections/penn\-state\-university\-park\-campus\-history\-collection/penn\-state\-illustrated\-4 \|website\=PSU.edu \|date\=15 September 2016 \|access\-date\=3 October 2020}}
In 1959, the [Government Code Section 12947\.5](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=GOV§ionNum=12947.5) (part of the [California Fair Employment and Housing Act](/wiki/California_Fair_Employment_and_Housing_Act "California Fair Employment and Housing Act"), passed in [California](/wiki/California "California")) declared in part, "It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer to refuse to permit an employee to wear pants on account of the sex of the employee", with exceptions only for "requiring an employee to wear a costume while that employee is portraying a specific character or dramatic role" and when good cause is shown.[California Government Code Section 12947\.5](http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/cacode/GOV/1/2/d3/2.8/6/1/s12947.5).

The repeal was seen as an important first step towards gradual legal reform to improve the status of women's rights in the country as envisioned by the Draft Constitutional Declaration (or Charter).

By 1895, however, many middle\\-class American girls had adopted the bike and the bloomer and began to call themselves \"[New Women](/wiki/New_Woman \"New Woman\"),\" despite society's resistance.

While many men were sent to the front line to fight, their wives often started to wear their trousers or [boiler suits](/wiki/Boilersuits \"Boilersuits\") inside the factories for better safety and comfort. Over time, specific designs tailored to the practical needs of female industrial workers were developed by other women. Although it was considered daring as they challenged dress norms in doing so, necessitated by the circumstances, women's trousers gained some social acceptability during the war years.{{Cite book \\|last\\=Smith \\|first\\=Stephanie A. \\|date\\=2001 \\|title\\=The Cambridge Companion to Nineteenth\\-Century American Women's Writing \\|chapter\\=Antebellum politics and women's writing \\|chapter\\-url\\=https://books.google.com/books?id\\=Cl90oCk0cncC\\&pg\\=PA72 \\|location\\=Cambridge \\|publisher\\=Cambridge University Press \\|page\\=72 \\|isbn\\=9780521669757 \\|access\\-date\\=21 November 2020}}{{Cite book \\|last\\=Hill \\|first\\=Daniel Delis \\|date\\=2002 \\|title\\=Advertising to the American Woman, 1900\\-1999 \\|url\\=https://books.google.com/books?id\\=HY5qgKfwmsEC\\&pg\\=PA137 \\|location\\=Columbus, Ohio \\|publisher\\=Ohio State University Press \\|pages\\=137–138 \\|isbn\\=9780814208908 \\|access\\-date\\=21 November 2020}}",

With economies still in tatters and certain fabrics in short supply, this forced designers to be creative, with most initially focusing on new types and designs of skirts and dresses. Meanwhile, however, after gaining more socioeconomic independence by doing paid work in the absence of their husbands, women in many countries successfully campaigned for the right to vote, obtaining more political power and social autonomy. Athleticism and sports were increasingly accepted as activities for women, wearing more convenient trousers which were decreasingly called '[bloomers](/wiki/Bloomers \"Bloomers\")', and no longer explicitly associated with [feminist activism](/wiki/Feminist_activism \"Feminist activism\").",

In 1942–1945, more American women entered the workforce than ever before. Unlike previous decades, American manufacturers did not look to Parisian couture designs for inspiration, but developed their own clothing styles, within the limits set by war\\-time necessity. Only cotton, wool blends, or synthetics such as rayon were available; fabrics reserved purely for military used included pure wool (uniforms, military coats, and blankets) and silk and nylon (primarily for parachutes). There was little colour and ornamentation, since these were regarded as inappropriately ostentatious and unpatriotic in war time, when conservation and self\\-discipline were critical. Women working in industrial work in war service wore their husbands' trousers.{{Citation needed \\|date\\=March 2018}}",
"Similarly, in Britain, because of the rationing of clothing, many women took to wearing their husbands' civilian clothes to work while their husbands were away in the armed forces. This was partly because they were seen as work garments, and partly to allow women to keep their clothing allowance for other uses. As the men's clothes wore out, replacements were needed, so that by the summer of 1944 it was reported that sales of women's trousers were five times more than in the previous year.L.W.N. Smith.

#### United States and Europe
##### 1890s–1914
According to [Valerie Steele](/wiki/Valerie_Steele "Valerie Steele"), by the end of the 19th century, Parisian women were wearing bloomers more commonly than English and American women, probably because bloomers were presented as a fashionable item in France rather than a quasi\-feminist statement, which fashion writers strongly disliked. By 1895, however, many middle\-class American girls had adopted the bike and the bloomer and began to call themselves "[New Women](/wiki/New_Woman "New Woman")," despite society's resistance. Meanwhile, these early women's trousers diversified according to their uses for gymnastics, bathing, cycling or titillation.

An updated version of the bloomer, for athletic use, was introduced in the 1890s as women's bicycling came into fashion.{{Cite web \|date\=1986\-05\-10 \|title\="Bicycle Costumes for Women" page 48 of The Journal (New York \[N.Y.]), May 10, 1896, (BICYCLE EDITION) \|url\=https://www.loc.gov/resource/sn84031792/1896\-05\-10/ed\-1/?dl\=page\&q\=Bloomers\+women\+bicycle\&sp\=1 \|access\-date\=2023\-01\-23 \|website\=Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. 20540 USA \|quote\=The bicycle frock, like all other appendages of human necessity, had to go through a period of evolution.}}{{Cite web \|title\=Image 37 of The journal (New York \[N.Y.]), June 28, 1896 \|url\=https://www.loc.gov/resource/sn84031792/1896\-06\-28/ed\-1/?dl\=page\&q\=Bloomers\+women\+bicycle\&sp\=1 \|access\-date\=2023\-01\-23 \|website\=Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. 20540 USA \|quote\=Bloomers All Right in New York Hotels}} As activities such as tennis, cycling, and horseback riding became more popular at the turn of the century, women turned to trousers or [knickerbockers](/wiki/Knickerbockers_%28clothing%29 "Knickerbockers (clothing)"){{failed verification\|date\=November 2020}} to provide comfort and freedom of movement in these activities, and some laws made allowances for women's wearing of trousers during these activities.
[Jeanne Margaine\-Lacroix](/wiki/Jeanne_Margaine-Lacroix "Jeanne Margaine-Lacroix") presented wide\-legged trousers for women in 1910, some months before [Paul Poiret](/wiki/Paul_Poiret "Paul Poiret"), who took credit for being the first to introduce the style.{{cite book\|last1\=Milford\-Cottam\|first1\=Daniel\|title\=Edwardian fashion\|date\=2014\|publisher\=Shire Books\|isbn\=9780747814047\|page\=55}}
##### 1914–1920
[thumb\|right\|Women workers in 1918 wearing trousers, United Kingdom](/wiki/File:Women%27s_War_work_during_the_First_World_War%2C_Woolwich%2C_1918_Q27894.jpg "Women's War work during the First World War, Woolwich, 1918 Q27894.jpg")
During the [First World War](/wiki/First_World_War "First World War") (1914–1918\), many women in countries such as France, the United Kingdom and the United States were recruited to work in factories, especially munitions factories, to aid the war effort, or to replace men in service sectors such as public transport. While many men were sent to the front line to fight, their wives often started to wear their trousers or [boiler suits](/wiki/Boilersuits "Boilersuits") inside the factories for better safety and comfort. Over time, specific designs tailored to the practical needs of female industrial workers were developed by other women. Although it was considered daring as they challenged dress norms in doing so, necessitated by the circumstances, women's trousers gained some social acceptability during the war years.{{Cite book \|last\=Smith \|first\=Stephanie A. \|date\=2001 \|title\=The Cambridge Companion to Nineteenth\-Century American Women's Writing \|chapter\=Antebellum politics and women's writing \|chapter\-url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=Cl90oCk0cncC\&pg\=PA72 \|location\=Cambridge \|publisher\=Cambridge University Press \|page\=72 \|isbn\=9780521669757 \|access\-date\=21 November 2020}}{{Cite book \|last\=Hill \|first\=Daniel Delis \|date\=2002 \|title\=Advertising to the American Woman, 1900\-1999 \|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=HY5qgKfwmsEC\&pg\=PA137 \|location\=Columbus, Ohio \|publisher\=Ohio State University Press \|pages\=137–138 \|isbn\=9780814208908 \|access\-date\=21 November 2020}}
However, arrests for women wearing trousers did not cease. For instance, in 1919, labour leader [Luisa Capetillo](/wiki/Luisa_Capetillo "Luisa Capetillo") became the first woman in [Puerto Rico](/wiki/Puerto_Rico "Puerto Rico") to wear trousers in public. Capetillo was sent to jail for what was then considered to be a crime in Puerto Rico, although the judge later dropped the charges against her. She would repeat this act of rebellion again stepping off the boat into Cuba where the judge was not so lenient leading to her serving time.{{Cite web\|url\=http://andrejkoymasky.com/liv/fam/bioc1/cape2\.html\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20080907162014/http://andrejkoymasky.com/liv/fam/bioc1/cape2\.html\|url\-status\=dead\|title\=Luisa Capetillo Perone\|archive\-date\=7 September 2008}}

During the post\-war years into the early 1920s, French and American clothing manufacturers appear to have been confused on what kind of clothes to make for women, as some thought prewar norms should be restored, whilst others sought ways forward and evolution. With economies still in tatters and certain fabrics in short supply, this forced designers to be creative, with most initially focusing on new types and designs of skirts and dresses. Meanwhile, however, after gaining more socioeconomic independence by doing paid work in the absence of their husbands, women in many countries successfully campaigned for the right to vote, obtaining more political power and social autonomy. Athleticism and sports were increasingly accepted as activities for women, wearing more convenient trousers which were decreasingly called '[bloomers](/wiki/Bloomers "Bloomers")', and no longer explicitly associated with [feminist activism](/wiki/Feminist_activism "Feminist activism").
Women increasingly wore trousers as leisurewear in the 1920s and 30s, and working women, including female pilots, often wore trousers.{{Cite thesis \|title\=DSpace Angular Universal \|year\=2003 \|url\=https://dr.lib.iastate.edu/handle/20\.500\.12876/80106/ \|doi\=10\.31274/rtd\-180813\-18\|last1\=Lee \|first1\=Yhe\-Young \|publisher\=Iowa State University }}

Actresses [Marlene Dietrich](/wiki/Marlene_Dietrich "Marlene Dietrich") and [Katharine Hepburn](/wiki/Katharine_Hepburn "Katharine Hepburn") were often photographed in trousers in the 1930s, showing how the style had spread from the working class and Dietrich famously appearing in a black [tuxedo](/wiki/Tuxedo "Tuxedo") and matching fedora at the 1932 premiere of *[The Sign of the Cross](/wiki/The_Sign_of_the_Cross_%281932_film%29 "The Sign of the Cross (1932 film)")*.{{cite web \|url\=http://www.laacollective.org/work/the\-audacity\-of\-pants/ \|last\=Finamore \|first\=Michelle \|title\=The Audacity of Pants \|date\=27 February 2017 \|publisher\=Los Angeles Archivists Collective \|access\-date\=March 14, 2018}}
[Eleanor Roosevelt](/wiki/Eleanor_Roosevelt "Eleanor Roosevelt") became the first [First Lady](/wiki/First_Lady "First Lady") to appear in trousers at a formal function, presiding over the [Easter Egg Roll](/wiki/Easter_Egg_Roll "Easter Egg Roll") in 1933 wearing riding trousers, a consequence of not having time to change after an early morning ride. However, she seemed to embrace the unconventional circumstance, posing for a photo in the trousers on the [South Portico](/wiki/South_Portico "South Portico") of the White House.{{cite web \|url\=http://www.firstladies.org/blog/first\-ladies\-wearing\-pants/ \|last\=Anthony \|first\=Carl \|title\=First Ladies Wearing Pants \|access\-date\=March 14, 2018}}
American women [fencers](/wiki/Fencing "Fencing") were originally required to wear skirts when competing. In 1937, the [Amateur Fencers League of America](/wiki/Amateur_Fencers_League_of_America "Amateur Fencers League of America") issued a new rule book stating, among other things, that after September 1, 1939, women would be allowed to wear either a "divided skirt" or "loose\-fitting white trousers fastened below the knee".[Evangelista, Nick](/wiki/Nick_Evangelista "Nick Evangelista")., Evangelista, Anita. *The Woman Fencer*. United States: Wish Pub., 2001\. Pgs. 37, 214\.
*[Vogue](/wiki/Vogue_%28magazine%29 "Vogue (magazine)")* featured its first spread of women wearing slacks in 1939\.

During [World War II](/wiki/World_War_II "World War II") (1939–1945\), history repeated itself on a larger scale, with more women than in World War I cutting their hair and donning trousers to work in factories more safely while men were sent to the battlefields. In 1942–1945, more American women entered the workforce than ever before. Unlike previous decades, American manufacturers did not look to Parisian couture designs for inspiration, but developed their own clothing styles, within the limits set by war\-time necessity. Only cotton, wool blends, or synthetics such as rayon were available; fabrics reserved purely for military used included pure wool (uniforms, military coats, and blankets) and silk and nylon (primarily for parachutes). There was little colour and ornamentation, since these were regarded as inappropriately ostentatious and unpatriotic in war time, when conservation and self\-discipline were critical. Women working in industrial work in war service wore their husbands' trousers.{{Citation needed \|date\=March 2018}}
Similarly, in Britain, because of the rationing of clothing, many women took to wearing their husbands' civilian clothes to work while their husbands were away in the armed forces. This was partly because they were seen as work garments, and partly to allow women to keep their clothing allowance for other uses. As the men's clothes wore out, replacements were needed, so that by the summer of 1944 it was reported that sales of women's trousers were five times more than in the previous year.L.W.N. Smith.

Unlike the [Interwar Period](/wiki/Interwar_period "Interwar period"), women's trousers made a lasting breakthrough after [World War II](/wiki/World_War_II "World War II"), both as a piece of clothing for everyday use and as a fashion statement. In the post\-war era trousers or slacks were still common casual wear for gardening, socialising, and other leisure pursuits; apart from leisure, however, only actresses such as [Marlene Dietrich](/wiki/Marlene_Dietrich "Marlene Dietrich"), [Katharine Hepburn](/wiki/Katharine_Hepburn "Katharine Hepburn") and [Audrey Hepburn](/wiki/Audrey_Hepburn "Audrey Hepburn") or other fashionable women such as [Coco Chanel](/wiki/Coco_Chanel "Coco Chanel") wore them in public for everyday use. In general, most women had reverted to skirts and dresses as the standard outfit in workplaces such as offices by the late 1950s. It was not until [capri pants](/wiki/Capri_pants "Capri pants") became fashionable in the late 1950s that significant changes began to manifest.
[Jeans](/wiki/Jeans "Jeans") (and [Bermuda shorts](/wiki/Bermuda_shorts "Bermuda shorts")) were prohibited entirely for female students at [Penn State University](/wiki/Penn_State_University "Penn State University") until 1954, when the ban was lifted only for off\-campus events.{{cite web \|last1\=Bezilla \|first1\=Michael \|title\=Expansion and Its Consequences \|url\=https://libraries.psu.edu/about/collections/penn\-state\-university\-park\-campus\-history\-collection/penn\-state\-illustrated\-4 \|website\=PSU.edu \|date\=15 September 2016 \|access\-date\=3 October 2020}}
In 1959, the [Government Code Section 12947\.5](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=GOV§ionNum=12947.5) (part of the [California Fair Employment and Housing Act](/wiki/California_Fair_Employment_and_Housing_Act "California Fair Employment and Housing Act"), passed in [California](/wiki/California "California")) declared in part, "It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer to refuse to permit an employee to wear pants on account of the sex of the employee", with exceptions only for "requiring an employee to wear a costume while that employee is portraying a specific character or dramatic role" and when good cause is shown.[California Government Code Section 12947\.5](http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/cacode/GOV/1/2/d3/2.8/6/1/s12947.5). Thus, the standard [California FEHA](/wiki/FEHA "FEHA") discrimination complaint form now includes an option for "denied the right to wear pants".[Instructions to Obtain Right to Sue Notice by Mail](http://www.dfeh.ca.gov/res/docs/RTS/RTS%20Instructions%20and%20Form%20(2-13).pdf) {{Webarchive\|url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20130531162124/https://www.dfeh.ca.gov/res/docs/RTS/RTS%20Instructions%20and%20Form%20(2\-13\).pdf \|date\=2013\-05\-31 }}, California Department of Fair Housing and Employment, February 2013\.

Although it was considered daring as they challenged dress norms in doing so, necessitated by the circumstances, women's trousers gained some social acceptability during the war years.{{Cite book \\|last\\=Smith \\|first\\=Stephanie A. \\|date\\=2001 \\|title\\=The Cambridge Companion to Nineteenth\\-Century American Women's Writing \\|chapter\\=Antebellum politics and women's writing \\|chapter\\-url\\=https://books.google.com/books?id\\=Cl90oCk0cncC\\&pg\\=PA72 \\|location\\=Cambridge \\|publisher\\=Cambridge University Press \\|page\\=72 \\|isbn\\=9780521669757 \\|access\\-date\\=21 November 2020}}{{Cite book \\|last\\=Hill \\|first\\=Daniel Delis \\|date\\=2002 \\|title\\=Advertising to the American Woman, 1900\\-1999 \\|url\\=https://books.google.com/books?id\\=HY5qgKfwmsEC\\&pg\\=PA137 \\|location\\=Columbus, Ohio \\|publisher\\=Ohio State University Press \\|pages\\=137–138 \\|isbn\\=9780814208908 \\|access\\-date\\=21 November 2020}}",

With economies still in tatters and certain fabrics in short supply, this forced designers to be creative, with most initially focusing on new types and designs of skirts and dresses. Meanwhile, however, after gaining more socioeconomic independence by doing paid work in the absence of their husbands, women in many countries successfully campaigned for the right to vote, obtaining more political power and social autonomy. Athleticism and sports were increasingly accepted as activities for women, wearing more convenient trousers which were decreasingly called '[bloomers](/wiki/Bloomers \"Bloomers\")', and no longer explicitly associated with [feminist activism](/wiki/Feminist_activism \"Feminist activism\").",

In 1942–1945, more American women entered the workforce than ever before. Unlike previous decades, American manufacturers did not look to Parisian couture designs for inspiration, but developed their own clothing styles, within the limits set by war\\-time necessity. Only cotton, wool blends, or synthetics such as rayon were available; fabrics reserved purely for military used included pure wool (uniforms, military coats, and blankets) and silk and nylon (primarily for parachutes). There was little colour and ornamentation, since these were regarded as inappropriately ostentatious and unpatriotic in war time, when conservation and self\\-discipline were critical. Women working in industrial work in war service wore their husbands' trousers.{{Citation needed \\|date\\=March 2018}}",
"Similarly, in Britain, because of the rationing of clothing, many women took to wearing their husbands' civilian clothes to work while their husbands were away in the armed forces. This was partly because they were seen as work garments, and partly to allow women to keep their clothing allowance for other uses. As the men's clothes wore out, replacements were needed, so that by the summer of 1944 it was reported that sales of women's trousers were five times more than in the previous year.L.W.N. Smith.

##### 1890s–1914
According to [Valerie Steele](/wiki/Valerie_Steele "Valerie Steele"), by the end of the 19th century, Parisian women were wearing bloomers more commonly than English and American women, probably because bloomers were presented as a fashionable item in France rather than a quasi\-feminist statement, which fashion writers strongly disliked. By 1895, however, many middle\-class American girls had adopted the bike and the bloomer and began to call themselves "[New Women](/wiki/New_Woman "New Woman")," despite society's resistance. Meanwhile, these early women's trousers diversified according to their uses for gymnastics, bathing, cycling or titillation.

An updated version of the bloomer, for athletic use, was introduced in the 1890s as women's bicycling came into fashion.{{Cite web \|date\=1986\-05\-10 \|title\="Bicycle Costumes for Women" page 48 of The Journal (New York \[N.Y.]), May 10, 1896, (BICYCLE EDITION) \|url\=https://www.loc.gov/resource/sn84031792/1896\-05\-10/ed\-1/?dl\=page\&q\=Bloomers\+women\+bicycle\&sp\=1 \|access\-date\=2023\-01\-23 \|website\=Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. 20540 USA \|quote\=The bicycle frock, like all other appendages of human necessity, had to go through a period of evolution.}}{{Cite web \|title\=Image 37 of The journal (New York \[N.Y.]), June 28, 1896 \|url\=https://www.loc.gov/resource/sn84031792/1896\-06\-28/ed\-1/?dl\=page\&q\=Bloomers\+women\+bicycle\&sp\=1 \|access\-date\=2023\-01\-23 \|website\=Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. 20540 USA \|quote\=Bloomers All Right in New York Hotels}} As activities such as tennis, cycling, and horseback riding became more popular at the turn of the century, women turned to trousers or [knickerbockers](/wiki/Knickerbockers_%28clothing%29 "Knickerbockers (clothing)"){{failed verification\|date\=November 2020}} to provide comfort and freedom of movement in these activities, and some laws made allowances for women's wearing of trousers during these activities.
[Jeanne Margaine\-Lacroix](/wiki/Jeanne_Margaine-Lacroix "Jeanne Margaine-Lacroix") presented wide\-legged trousers for women in 1910, some months before [Paul Poiret](/wiki/Paul_Poiret "Paul Poiret"), who took credit for being the first to introduce the style.{{cite book\|last1\=Milford\-Cottam\|first1\=Daniel\|title\=Edwardian fashion\|date\=2014\|publisher\=Shire Books\|isbn\=9780747814047\|page\=55}}

During the [First World War](/wiki/First_World_War "First World War") (1914–1918\), many women in countries such as France, the United Kingdom and the United States were recruited to work in factories, especially munitions factories, to aid the war effort, or to replace men in service sectors such as public transport. While many men were sent to the front line to fight, their wives often started to wear their trousers or [boiler suits](/wiki/Boilersuits "Boilersuits") inside the factories for better safety and comfort. Over time, specific designs tailored to the practical needs of female industrial workers were developed by other women. Although it was considered daring as they challenged dress norms in doing so, necessitated by the circumstances, women's trousers gained some social acceptability during the war years.{{Cite book \|last\=Smith \|first\=Stephanie A. \|date\=2001 \|title\=The Cambridge Companion to Nineteenth\-Century American Women's Writing \|chapter\=Antebellum politics and women's writing \|chapter\-url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=Cl90oCk0cncC\&pg\=PA72 \|location\=Cambridge \|publisher\=Cambridge University Press \|page\=72 \|isbn\=9780521669757 \|access\-date\=21 November 2020}}{{Cite book \|last\=Hill \|first\=Daniel Delis \|date\=2002 \|title\=Advertising to the American Woman, 1900\-1999 \|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=HY5qgKfwmsEC\&pg\=PA137 \|location\=Columbus, Ohio \|publisher\=Ohio State University Press \|pages\=137–138 \|isbn\=9780814208908 \|access\-date\=21 November 2020}}
However, arrests for women wearing trousers did not cease. For instance, in 1919, labour leader [Luisa Capetillo](/wiki/Luisa_Capetillo "Luisa Capetillo") became the first woman in [Puerto Rico](/wiki/Puerto_Rico "Puerto Rico") to wear trousers in public. Capetillo was sent to jail for what was then considered to be a crime in Puerto Rico, although the judge later dropped the charges against her. She would repeat this act of rebellion again stepping off the boat into Cuba where the judge was not so lenient leading to her serving time.{{Cite web\|url\=http://andrejkoymasky.com/liv/fam/bioc1/cape2\.html\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20080907162014/http://andrejkoymasky.com/liv/fam/bioc1/cape2\.html\|url\-status\=dead\|title\=Luisa Capetillo Perone\|archive\-date\=7 September 2008}}

During the post\-war years into the early 1920s, French and American clothing manufacturers appear to have been confused on what kind of clothes to make for women, as some thought prewar norms should be restored, whilst others sought ways forward and evolution. With economies still in tatters and certain fabrics in short supply, this forced designers to be creative, with most initially focusing on new types and designs of skirts and dresses. Meanwhile, however, after gaining more socioeconomic independence by doing paid work in the absence of their husbands, women in many countries successfully campaigned for the right to vote, obtaining more political power and social autonomy. Athleticism and sports were increasingly accepted as activities for women, wearing more convenient trousers which were decreasingly called '[bloomers](/wiki/Bloomers "Bloomers")', and no longer explicitly associated with [feminist activism](/wiki/Feminist_activism "Feminist activism").
Women increasingly wore trousers as leisurewear in the 1920s and 30s, and working women, including female pilots, often wore trousers.{{Cite thesis \|title\=DSpace Angular Universal \|year\=2003 \|url\=https://dr.lib.iastate.edu/handle/20\.500\.12876/80106/ \|doi\=10\.31274/rtd\-180813\-18\|last1\=Lee \|first1\=Yhe\-Young \|publisher\=Iowa State University }}

[Eleanor Roosevelt](/wiki/Eleanor_Roosevelt "Eleanor Roosevelt") became the first [First Lady](/wiki/First_Lady "First Lady") to appear in trousers at a formal function, presiding over the [Easter Egg Roll](/wiki/Easter_Egg_Roll "Easter Egg Roll") in 1933 wearing riding trousers, a consequence of not having time to change after an early morning ride.

American women [fencers](/wiki/Fencing "Fencing") were originally required to wear skirts when competing. In 1937, the [Amateur Fencers League of America](/wiki/Amateur_Fencers_League_of_America "Amateur Fencers League of America") issued a new rule book stating, among other things, that after September 1, 1939, women would be allowed to wear either a "divided skirt" or "loose\-fitting white trousers fastened below the knee".[Evangelista, Nick](/wiki/Nick_Evangelista "Nick Evangelista")., Evangelista, Anita. *The Woman Fencer*.

During [World War II](/wiki/World_War_II "World War II") (1939–1945\), history repeated itself on a larger scale, with more women than in World War I cutting their hair and donning trousers to work in factories more safely while men were sent to the battlefields. In 1942–1945, more American women entered the workforce than ever before. Unlike previous decades, American manufacturers did not look to Parisian couture designs for inspiration, but developed their own clothing styles, within the limits set by war\-time necessity. Only cotton, wool blends, or synthetics such as rayon were available; fabrics reserved purely for military used included pure wool (uniforms, military coats, and blankets) and silk and nylon (primarily for parachutes). There was little colour and ornamentation, since these were regarded as inappropriately ostentatious and unpatriotic in war time, when conservation and self\-discipline were critical. Women working in industrial work in war service wore their husbands' trousers.{{Citation needed \|date\=March 2018}}
Similarly, in Britain, because of the rationing of clothing, many women took to wearing their husbands' civilian clothes to work while their husbands were away in the armed forces. This was partly because they were seen as work garments, and partly to allow women to keep their clothing allowance for other uses. As the men's clothes wore out, replacements were needed, so that by the summer of 1944 it was reported that sales of women's trousers were five times more than in the previous year.L.W.N. Smith.

Unlike the [Interwar Period](/wiki/Interwar_period "Interwar period"), women's trousers made a lasting breakthrough after [World War II](/wiki/World_War_II "World War II"), both as a piece of clothing for everyday use and as a fashion statement. In the post\-war era trousers or slacks were still common casual wear for gardening, socialising, and other leisure pursuits; apart from leisure, however, only actresses such as [Marlene Dietrich](/wiki/Marlene_Dietrich "Marlene Dietrich"), [Katharine Hepburn](/wiki/Katharine_Hepburn "Katharine Hepburn") and [Audrey Hepburn](/wiki/Audrey_Hepburn "Audrey Hepburn") or other fashionable women such as [Coco Chanel](/wiki/Coco_Chanel "Coco Chanel") wore them in public for everyday use. In general, most women had reverted to skirts and dresses as the standard outfit in workplaces such as offices by the late 1950s. It was not until [capri pants](/wiki/Capri_pants "Capri pants") became fashionable in the late 1950s that significant changes began to manifest.

"According to [Valerie Steele](/wiki/Valerie_Steele \"Valerie Steele\"), by the end of the 19th century, Parisian women were wearing bloomers more commonly than English and American women, probably because bloomers were presented as a fashionable item in France rather than a quasi\\-feminist statement, which fashion writers strongly disliked. By 1895, however, many middle\\-class American girls had adopted the bike and the bloomer and began to call themselves \"[New Women](/wiki/New_Woman \"New Woman\"),\" despite society's resistance. Meanwhile, these early women's trousers diversified according to their uses for gymnastics, bathing, cycling or titillation.",

While many men were sent to the front line to fight, their wives often started to wear their trousers or [boiler suits](/wiki/Boilersuits \"Boilersuits\") inside the factories for better safety and comfort. Over time, specific designs tailored to the practical needs of female industrial workers were developed by other women. Although it was considered daring as they challenged dress norms in doing so, necessitated by the circumstances, women's trousers gained some social acceptability during the war years.{{Cite book \\|last\\=Smith \\|first\\=Stephanie A. \\|date\\=2001 \\|title\\=The Cambridge Companion to Nineteenth\\-Century American Women's Writing \\|chapter\\=Antebellum politics and women's writing \\|chapter\\-url\\=https://books.google.com/books?id\\=Cl90oCk0cncC\\&pg\\=PA72 \\|location\\=Cambridge \\|publisher\\=Cambridge University Press \\|page\\=72 \\|isbn\\=9780521669757 \\|access\\-date\\=21 November 2020}}{{Cite book \\|last\\=Hill \\|first\\=Daniel Delis \\|date\\=2002 \\|title\\=Advertising to the American Woman, 1900\\-1999 \\|url\\=https://books.google.com/books?id\\=HY5qgKfwmsEC\\&pg\\=PA137 \\|location\\=Columbus, Ohio \\|publisher\\=Ohio State University Press \\|pages\\=137–138 \\|isbn\\=9780814208908 \\|access\\-date\\=21 November 2020}}",

With economies still in tatters and certain fabrics in short supply, this forced designers to be creative, with most initially focusing on new types and designs of skirts and dresses. Meanwhile, however, after gaining more socioeconomic independence by doing paid work in the absence of their husbands, women in many countries successfully campaigned for the right to vote, obtaining more political power and social autonomy. Athleticism and sports were increasingly accepted as activities for women, wearing more convenient trousers which were decreasingly called '[bloomers](/wiki/Bloomers \"Bloomers\")', and no longer explicitly associated with [feminist activism](/wiki/Feminist_activism \"Feminist activism\").",

Only cotton, wool blends, or synthetics such as rayon were available; fabrics reserved purely for military used included pure wool (uniforms, military coats, and blankets) and silk and nylon (primarily for parachutes). There was little colour and ornamentation, since these were regarded as inappropriately ostentatious and unpatriotic in war time, when conservation and self\\-discipline were critical.

Gerard II and the crusade
-------------------------
{{main\|Stedinger Crusade}}
The new archbishop, [Gerard II](/wiki/Gerhard_II_%28Bremen_%26_Hamburg%29 "Gerhard II (Bremen & Hamburg)"), was determined to enforce orthodoxy on the Stedingers, as well as payment of the tax which his predecessor had neglected to collect. When a mendicant friar who was traveling through the territory proclaimed in a sermon that "Disobedience was idolatry," he was attacked by the inhabitants, who then embarked on a spate of anti\-clerical violence, sacking monasteries and killing clergy. The Archbishop, resolved on enforcing his demands, built Schlutterburg Castle on the border of the Stedinger territory, in which he installed his brother, Lord [Herman II](/wiki/Herman_II%2C_Lord_of_Lippe "Herman II, Lord of Lippe") of Lippe. On [Christmas](/wiki/Christmas "Christmas") of 1229 came the first battle between the peasantry and the knights of the Archbishop; Herman was killed, and the rest of the knights took in flight.
On the 17th of March 1230, Gerard convened a council at Bremen, where the [abbots](/wiki/Abbot "Abbot") and higher clergy of the archbishopric were to try the Stedingers for their refusal to obey feudal law, for rioting, [sacrilege](/wiki/Sacrilege "Sacrilege"), and murder, and for allegedly worshipping images of wax, seeking counsel from [soothsayers](/wiki/Fortune-telling "Fortune-telling"), and consorting with evil spirits. Having found the peasants guilty, the council decreed an [interdict](/wiki/Interdict "Interdict") and the [excommunication](/wiki/Excommunication "Excommunication") of all those who opposed the archbishop's decrees; the church doors were nailed shut and the priests left the territory.
The archbishop himself went to Rome to persuade Pope [Gregory IX](/wiki/Gregory_IX "Gregory IX") to call for a [crusade](/wiki/Crusade "Crusade") against the Stedingers. He succeeded in this and [Dominican](/wiki/Dominican_Order "Dominican Order") friars were dispatched throughout northern Germany to preach the crusade, for which the pope promised the same spiritual rewards as for the crusades in the [Holy Land](/wiki/Holy_Land "Holy Land"). In spring of 1233, a large number of German noblemen, supported by the citizenry, assembled for the campaign in Bremen.
The population on the east bank of the Weser had not prepared adequate defenses, so the crusading army attacked there first, massacring most of the population; the few survivors were burnt at the stake. The crusaders then returned to Bremen to prepare the attack against the more heavily fortified west bank of the Weser. They made their assault on the West Stedingers on the 6th of July, 1233, but were repelled with heavy losses. In the winter of that year, Gerhard attempted to drown the rebels by having holes bored into the levees of the Weser to weaken them, but the workers were driven off by the levees' guards.
In spring of the year 1234, the Dominicans throughout northern Germany preached a new crusade against the Stedingers. A large army was assembled at Bremen under the command of [Henry I, Duke of Brabant](/wiki/Henry_I%2C_Duke_of_Brabant "Henry I, Duke of Brabant"), while Stedingers were led by Bolko von Bardenfleth, Tammo von Huntrop, and Detmar tom Diek.
The Stedingers under Bolko von Bardenfleth advanced against the crusaders at one of the territory's fortified gates; neither side could gain a decisive advantage until a single crusading knight forced his armored war horse all the way to the rear of the peasant troop, thus opening a path for the other crusaders. The peasants were then quickly overwhelmed.
The rest of the Stedingers had taken a position by Altenesch under Detmar tom Diek and Tammo von Huntrop, where they too were defeated after heavy resistance. As it was recorded in the Saxon Chronicle of [Reppichau](/wiki/Reppichau "Reppichau"): "Thus the Stedingers met their end; because they had carried on for more than thirty\-three years with great violence and injustice, our Lord God struck them down with His own violence."*Aldus namen de Stedinge eren ende, de grote gewalt unde unrecht hadden gedreven mer dan drittich unde dre jar, unse here got slog se do mit siner gewalt.* *Repgauische Chronik*, p.88 (1859\).

W. Fasel - Charles G. Crehen - Nagel & Weingaertner - Martyrdom of Joseph and Hiram Smith in Carthage jail, June 27th, 1844.jpg")
Mormonism, or the [Latter Day Saint movement](/wiki/Latter_Day_Saint_movement "Latter Day Saint movement"), arose in western [New York](/wiki/New_York_%28state%29 "New York (state)"), the area where its founder, [Joseph Smith](/wiki/Joseph_Smith "Joseph Smith"), was raised, during a period of religious [revival](/wiki/Christian_revival "Christian revival") in the early 19th century. Smith claimed to have several visions involving God, Jesus and angelic Native American prophets. These claims were often not received well by those in the community,<https://hwpi.harvard.edu/files/pluralism/files/latter_day_saints_movement.pdf> as evident in the following excerpt from Smith's account of LDS Church history:
> ... one of the Methodist preachers ... treated my communication ... with great contempt, saying it was all of the devil, that there were no such things as visions or revelations in these days; that all such things had ceased with the apostles, and that there would never be any more of them. I soon found, however, that my telling the story had excited a great deal of prejudice against me among professors of religion, and was the cause of great persecution, which continued to increase; and though I was an obscure boy, only between fourteen and fifteen years of age, and my circumstances in life such as to make a boy of no consequence in the world, yet men of high standing would take notice sufficient to excite the public mind against me, and create a bitter persecution; and this was common among all the sects—all united to persecute me.{{Sourcetext \| source\= Pearl of Great Price \| book\= History \| verse\= 21–22 }}

In [New York](/wiki/New_York_%28state%29 "New York (state)") and [Pennsylvania](/wiki/Pennsylvania "Pennsylvania"), anti\-Mormonism dealt mainly with issues including whether or not Smith actually had the [gold plates](/wiki/Golden_Plates "Golden Plates"); whether those plates belonged to the people rather than Smith; whether or not Smith ever really had had visions (at least ones of theological import); Smith's treasure\-digging episodes; and alleged [occult](/wiki/Occult "Occult") practices by Smith.{{cite book \|first\=D.

In [Ohio](/wiki/Ohio "Ohio"), anti\-Mormons focused on the ill\-fated banking efforts of the [Kirtland Safety Society](/wiki/Kirtland_Safety_Society "Kirtland Safety Society") and other failed economic experiments including the [United Order](/wiki/United_Order "United Order").
In [Missouri](/wiki/Missouri "Missouri"), once the gathering place of the Latter Day Saints, Mormons tended to vote as a bloc, wielding "considerable political and economic influence," often unseating local political leadership and earning long\-lasting enmity in the sometimes hard\-drinking, hard\-living frontier communities.{{cite web \|author\=Monroe, R.D. \|title\=Congress and the Mexican War, 1844–1849 \|work\=lincoln.lib.niu.edu \|url\=http://lincoln.lib.niu.edu/biography4text.html \|access\-date\=2006\-06\-03 \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20060613030726/http://lincoln.lib.niu.edu/biography4text.html \|archive\-date\=13 June 2006 \|url\-status\=dead }} These differences culminated in hostilities and the eventual issuing of an [executive order](/wiki/Executive_order_%28United_States%29 "Executive order (United States)") (since called the [Extermination Order](/wiki/Extermination_Order_%28Mormonism%29 "Extermination Order (Mormonism)")) by Missouri [governor](/wiki/Governor "Governor") [Lilburn Boggs](/wiki/Lilburn_Boggs "Lilburn Boggs") declaring "the Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be exterminated or driven from the State." Three days later, a renegade militia unit attacked a Mormon settlement at [Haun's Mill](/wiki/Haun%27s_Mill_massacre "Haun's Mill massacre"), resulting in the death of 18 Mormons and no militiamen. The Extermination Order was not formally rescinded until 1976\.

Much of this anti\-Mormon sentiment was expressed in publications during the early part of LDS Church history. In his 2005 biography of Joseph Smith, [Richard Lyman Bushman](/wiki/Richard_Lyman_Bushman "Richard Lyman Bushman") cites four 1838 pamphlets as anti\-Mormon: *Mormonism Exposed* by Sunderland, *Mormonism Exposed* by Bacheler, *Antidote to Mormonism* by M'Chesney, and *Exposure of Mormonism* by Livesey.Bushman, pp. 398–402\.
The first was the work of Origen Bacheler, who had no direct contact with the body of Mormons, and contained the contents of a debate between the author and [Parley Pratt](/wiki/Parley_P._Pratt "Parley P. Pratt"), with Pratt's side omitted. Bushman describes the author's rhetoric as indistinguishable from that uttered by "scores of other polemicists of his time," providing a glimpse into the kind of material considered anti\-Mormon. The pamphlet described Joseph Smith as a "blockhead", a "juggling, money\-digging, fortune\-telling impostor" and, along with the [Book of Mormon witnesses](/wiki/Eight_Witnesses "Eight Witnesses"), as "perhaps the most infamous liars and impostors that ever breathed. ... By their deception and lies, they swindle them out of their property, disturb social order and the public peace, excite a spirit of ferocity and murder, and lead multitudes astray on the subject in which, of all others, they have the deepest interest." He voiced outrage at "the miscreants who are battening on the ignorance and credulity of those upon whom they can successfully play off this imposture." He described the Book of Mormon as, "the most gross, the most ridiculous, the most imbecile, the most contemptible concern, that was ever attempted to be palmed off upon society as a revelation." He believed the religion "can be viewed in no other light than that of monstrous public nuisances, that ought forthwith to be abated" and that the Mormons were "the most vile, the most impudent, the most impious, knot of charlatans and cheat with which any community was ever disgraced and cursed."{{cite journal \|author\=Origen Bacheler \|title\=Mormonism Exposed: Internally and Externally \|publisher\=New York: n.p. \|year\=1838 }} *Antidote to Mormonism* describes Mormons as "miserable enemies of both God and man—engines of death and hell."

The sharp caricature of "Joe Smith" as fraud and con man blotted out the actual person. He was a combination of knave and blockhead. No one had to explain what motives drove him. He was a fixed type, the confidence man, well known in the literature of antebellum America. Americans knew all about these insidious scoundrels who undermined social order and ruined the lives of their unsuspecting victims. Joseph Smith became the worst of the type—a religious fraud who preyed upon the sacred yearnings of the human soul.}}
British author [Arthur Conan Doyle](/wiki/Arthur_Conan_Doyle "Arthur Conan Doyle")'s *[A Study in Scarlet](/wiki/A_Study_in_Scarlet "A Study in Scarlet")* (1887\), the novel in which the famous fictional detective [Sherlock Holmes](/wiki/Sherlock_Holmes "Sherlock Holmes") made his first appearance, includes a very negative depiction of the early Mormon community in Utah after its migration westwards and the foundation of [Salt Lake City](/wiki/Salt_Lake_City "Salt Lake City"). Mormons are presented as violent, rigidly intolerant and corrupt, systematically terrorizing both members of the church and non\-Mormon neighbors as well as forcing polygamous marriage on Mormon girls against their will.
Later in his career, Conan Doyle apologized to the Mormons for his depiction of their religion. During a 1923 tour of the United States, Doyle was invited to speak at the LDS Church's [Salt Lake Tabernacle](/wiki/Salt_Lake_Tabernacle "Salt Lake Tabernacle"); while some individual Mormons remained deeply upset over the negative depiction, in general the Mormons present received him warmly.{{cite news\|url\=http://historytogo.utah.gov/salt\_lake\_tribune/in\_another\_time/041094\.html \|title\=The Case Of The Repentant Writer: Sherlock Holmes' Creator Raises The Wrath Of Mormons \|first\=Hal \|last\=Schindler \|date\=10 April 1994 \|newspaper\=\[\[The Salt Lake Tribune]] \|url\-status\=dead \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20060923063139/http://historytogo.utah.gov/salt\_lake\_tribune/in\_another\_time/041094\.html \|archive\-date\=September 23, 2006 }} Page D1\.

Vehement opposition to the LDS Church comes from individuals or groups associated with the [Christian countercult movement](/wiki/Christian_countercult_movement "Christian countercult movement"), which is mostly an [evangelical Christian](/wiki/Evangelicalism "Evangelicalism") phenomenon. In the 21st century opposition to Mormonism has become frequent among Secular groups.
### Religious anti\-Mormonism
{{POV section\|date\=September 2020}}
Among those with religious motives, [Daniel C. Peterson](/wiki/Daniel_C._Peterson "Daniel C. Peterson") has identified two major streams of modern anti\-Mormon thought. The first is "traditional anti\-Mormonism", typified by [Rev. Wesley Walters](/wiki/Wesley_P._Walters "Wesley P. Walters"), [Jerald and Sandra Tanner](/wiki/Jerald_and_Sandra_Tanner "Jerald and Sandra Tanner"), and [Walter Martin](/wiki/Walter_Ralston_Martin "Walter Ralston Martin"). Anti\-Mormons in this category generally try to explain Mormonism in naturalistic terms. They appeal to "Joseph Smith's environment and his (wicked or pathological) character, perhaps assisted by a co\-conspirator or two", as a sufficient explanation for Mormon origins.Introvigne, pp. 154,158\. Cf. also Peterson, pp. 231–260\.
"New Age anti\-Mormonism", according to Peterson, "is quite different. It admits the presence of supernatural events in the founding events of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter\-day Saints and is quite willing to acknowledge continuous supernatural influence in the life of the Church today." However, "unlike faithful Latter\-day Saints, New Age anti\-Mormons see the supernatural agents involved in the founding and progress of the Church as demonic, occultic, diabolical, luciferian."Introvigne, p. 154\.
This "New Age anti\-Mormon" grouping includes [Ed Decker](/wiki/Ed_Decker "Ed Decker"), Loftes Tryk, James R. Spencer and many others. According to Introvigne, New Age anti\-Mormonism emerged in the 1980s largely as a result of the rise of [Third\-wave Pentecostalism](/wiki/Third_Wave_of_the_Holy_Spirit "Third Wave of the Holy Spirit") and its emphasis on [spiritual warfare](/wiki/Spiritual_warfare "Spiritual warfare").Introvigne, pp. 159–161\. Cf. fn. on p. 158 for a few exceptions to the 1980s date.
Traditional anti\-Mormons, according to Peterson, are those who "are content to argue that Mormonism is untrue" and "incompatible with the Bible."Peterson, pp. 231–260\. While some may believe that Satan was indirectly involved in the founding of the LDS Church, they place little emphasis on his role. For them, naturalistic and historical explanations are always preferable to supernatural ones.Introvigne, p. 158\.
Among the most prominent of the traditional anti\-Mormons are Jerald and Sandra Tanner. Both former members of the LDS Church, the Tanners converted to evangelical Protestantism and in 1964 founded the Modern Microfilm Company to "document problems with the claims of Mormonism and to compare LDS doctrines with Christianity." In 1983 they turned their company into a non\-profit organization and renamed it the [Utah Lighthouse Ministry](/wiki/Utah_Lighthouse_Ministry "Utah Lighthouse Ministry").{{cite web \|title\=Utah Lighthouse Ministry \|work\=UTLM.org \|url\=http://www.utlm.org/ \|access\-date\=2006\-06\-01 \| archive\-url\= https://web.archive.org/web/20060610174737/http://utlm.org/\| archive\-date\= 10 June 2006 \| url\-status\= live}} The Tanners' work has included "publishing \[reprints of] many hard\-to\-find Mormon historical documents" and "\[debating] virtually every significant topic in Mormonism".Foster, Lawrence (1984\) "[Career Apostates: Reflections on the Works of Jerald and Sandra Tanner](https://www.dialoguejournal.com/wp-content/uploads/sbi/articles/Dialogue_V17N02_37.pdf)", *[Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought](/wiki/Dialogue:A_Journal_of_Mormon_Thought "A Journal of Mormon Thought")*, 17 (2\), 35,39\. During their prolific career they have published more than two hundred items on a variety of social, doctrinal, and historical issues. Despite the high caliber of some of their work,"Jerald is a brilliant analyst of detail, with an almost uncanny ability to spot textual inconsistencies which call for explanation. His analysis showing that a pamphlet attributed to Oliver Cowdery was, in fact, a clever forgery, is only one example of research and analysis that would do credit to any professional historian." Foster, Lawrence (1984\) "[Career Apostates: Reflections on the Works of Jerald and Sandra Tanner](https://www.dialoguejournal.com/wp-content/uploads/sbi/articles/Dialogue_V17N02_37.pdf)", *[Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought](/wiki/Dialogue:A_Journal_of_Mormon_Thought "A Journal of Mormon Thought")*, 17 (2\), 47\. the Tanners have been criticized on a number of points: notably for the vitriolic tone of some of their more polemical pieces, their resistance to change, and their unauthorized publication of several copyrighted documents.See also {{cite news \|last\=McCann \|first\=Sheila \|title\=Web Site Prompts Mormon Church to Sue Critics \|date\=1999\-10\-15 \|newspaper\=The Salt Lake Tribune \| quote\= The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter\-day Saints is suing longtime critics Jerald and Sandra Tanner, accusing them of violating copyright laws by posting information from an internal church handbook on the Internet..

"The church has not yet signed an agreement, but we are hopeful that a settlement is at hand," church spokesman Dale Bills..." }} In recent years, however, the apologists' antagonism toward the Tanners has somewhat subsided. In their study of anti\-Mormon "word games", for example, Daniel C. Peterson and [Stephen D. Ricks](/wiki/Stephen_D._Ricks "Stephen D. Ricks") have nothing negative to say about them. Instead, they enlist them as allies against New Age anti\-Mormons like Ed Decker, whose fabrications the Tanners have denounced on more than one occasion.Peterson and Ricks, 13 fn. 39, 14 fn. 42\.
[Walter Martin](/wiki/Walter_Ralston_Martin "Walter Ralston Martin"), founder of the [Christian Research Institute](/wiki/Christian_Research_Institute "Christian Research Institute"), was another traditional anti\-Mormon. Martin was more controversial and contemptuous than others noted here. He portrayed Mormons as deceivers who "pose as Christians," calling them "anti\-Christian" and "a cult infiltration." Martin also claimed that Mormons secretly harbor a "deep contempt for Christians," and accused them of being egomaniacs and "cultists".Cited in Peterson and Ricks, pp. 5, 9–11\.

The summons alleged that two men were induced to pay [tithes](/wiki/Tithe "Tithe") to the LDS Church by church teachings which are objectively untrue. The allegedly untrue teachings included that [Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon from ancient gold plates and it is historically accurate](/wiki/Origin_of_the_Book_of_Mormon "Origin of the Book of Mormon"), and that [Native Americans are descended from Israelites who left Jerusalem in 600 BC](/wiki/Genetics_and_the_Book_of_Mormon "Genetics and the Book of Mormon").

"Vehement opposition to the LDS Church comes from individuals or groups associated with the [Christian countercult movement](/wiki/Christian_countercult_movement \"Christian countercult movement\"), which is mostly an [evangelical Christian](/wiki/Evangelicalism \"Evangelicalism\") phenomenon. In the 21st century opposition to Mormonism has become frequent among Secular groups.",
"### Religious anti\\-Mormonism",
"{{POV section\\|date\\=September 2020}}\nAmong those with religious motives, [Daniel C. Peterson](/wiki/Daniel_C._Peterson \"Daniel C. Peterson\") has identified two major streams of modern anti\\-Mormon thought. The first is \"traditional anti\\-Mormonism\", typified by [Rev. Wesley Walters](/wiki/Wesley_P._Walters \"Wesley P. Walters\"), [Jerald and Sandra Tanner](/wiki/Jerald_and_Sandra_Tanner \"Jerald and Sandra Tanner\"), and [Walter Martin](/wiki/Walter_Ralston_Martin \"Walter Ralston Martin\"). Anti\\-Mormons in this category generally try to explain Mormonism in naturalistic terms. They appeal to \"Joseph Smith's environment and his (wicked or pathological) character, perhaps assisted by a co\\-conspirator or two\", as a sufficient explanation for Mormon origins.Introvigne, pp. 154,158\\. Cf. also Peterson, pp. 231–260\\.",
"\"New Age anti\\-Mormonism\", according to Peterson, \"is quite different. It admits the presence of supernatural events in the founding events of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter\\-day Saints and is quite willing to acknowledge continuous supernatural influence in the life of the Church today.\" However, \"unlike faithful Latter\\-day Saints, New Age anti\\-Mormons see the supernatural agents involved in the founding and progress of the Church as demonic, occultic, diabolical, luciferian.\"Introvigne, p. 154\\.",
"This \"New Age anti\\-Mormon\" grouping includes [Ed Decker](/wiki/Ed_Decker \"Ed Decker\"), Loftes Tryk, James R. Spencer and many others. According to Introvigne, New Age anti\\-Mormonism emerged in the 1980s largely as a result of the rise of [Third\\-wave Pentecostalism](/wiki/Third_Wave_of_the_Holy_Spirit \"Third Wave of the Holy Spirit\") and its emphasis on [spiritual warfare](/wiki/Spiritual_warfare \"Spiritual warfare\").Introvigne, pp. 159–161\\. Cf. fn. on p. 158 for a few exceptions to the 1980s date.",
"Traditional anti\\-Mormons, according to Peterson, are those who \"are content to argue that Mormonism is untrue\" and \"incompatible with the Bible.\"Peterson, pp. 231–260\\. While some may believe that Satan was indirectly involved in the founding of the LDS Church, they place little emphasis on his role. For them, naturalistic and historical explanations are always preferable to supernatural ones.Introvigne, p. 158\\.",
"Among the most prominent of the traditional anti\\-Mormons are Jerald and Sandra Tanner. Both former members of the LDS Church, the Tanners converted to evangelical Protestantism and in 1964 founded the Modern Microfilm Company to \"document problems with the claims of Mormonism and to compare LDS doctrines with Christianity.\" In 1983 they turned their company into a non\\-profit organization and renamed it the [Utah Lighthouse Ministry](/wiki/Utah_Lighthouse_Ministry \"Utah Lighthouse Ministry\").{{cite web \\|title\\=Utah Lighthouse Ministry \\|work\\=UTLM.org \\|url\\=http://www.utlm.org/ \\|access\\-date\\=2006\\-06\\-01 \\| archive\\-url\\= https://web.archive.org/web/20060610174737/http://utlm.org/\\| archive\\-date\\= 10 June 2006 \\| url\\-status\\= live}} The Tanners' work has included \"publishing \\[reprints of] many hard\\-to\\-find Mormon historical documents\" and \"\\[debating] virtually every significant topic in Mormonism\".Foster, Lawrence (1984\\) \"[Career Apostates: Reflections on the Works of Jerald and Sandra Tanner](https://www.dialoguejournal.com/wp-content/uploads/sbi/articles/Dialogue_V17N02_37.pdf)\", *[Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought](/wiki/Dialogue:A_Journal_of_Mormon_Thought \"A Journal of Mormon Thought\")*, 17 (2\\), 35,39\\. During their prolific career they have published more than two hundred items on a variety of social, doctrinal, and historical issues. Despite the high caliber of some of their work,\"Jerald is a brilliant analyst of detail, with an almost uncanny ability to spot textual inconsistencies which call for explanation. His analysis showing that a pamphlet attributed to Oliver Cowdery was, in fact, a clever forgery, is only one example of research and analysis that would do credit to any professional historian.\" Foster, Lawrence (1984\\) \"[Career Apostates: Reflections on the Works of Jerald and Sandra Tanner](https://www.dialoguejournal.com/wp-content/uploads/sbi/articles/Dialogue_V17N02_37.pdf)\", *[Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought](/wiki/Dialogue:A_Journal_of_Mormon_Thought \"A Journal of Mormon Thought\")*, 17 (2\\), 47\\. the Tanners have been criticized on a number of points: notably for the vitriolic tone of some of their more polemical pieces, their resistance to change, and their unauthorized publication of several copyrighted documents.See also {{cite news \\|last\\=McCann \\|first\\=Sheila \\|title\\=Web Site Prompts Mormon Church to Sue Critics \\|date\\=1999\\-10\\-15 \\|newspaper\\=The Salt Lake Tribune \\| quote\\= The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter\\-day Saints is suing longtime critics Jerald and Sandra Tanner, accusing them of violating copyright laws by posting information from an internal church handbook on the Internet..

### Religious anti\-Mormonism
{{POV section\|date\=September 2020}}
Among those with religious motives, [Daniel C. Peterson](/wiki/Daniel_C._Peterson "Daniel C. Peterson") has identified two major streams of modern anti\-Mormon thought. The first is "traditional anti\-Mormonism", typified by [Rev. Wesley Walters](/wiki/Wesley_P._Walters "Wesley P. Walters"), [Jerald and Sandra Tanner](/wiki/Jerald_and_Sandra_Tanner "Jerald and Sandra Tanner"), and [Walter Martin](/wiki/Walter_Ralston_Martin "Walter Ralston Martin"). Anti\-Mormons in this category generally try to explain Mormonism in naturalistic terms. They appeal to "Joseph Smith's environment and his (wicked or pathological) character, perhaps assisted by a co\-conspirator or two", as a sufficient explanation for Mormon origins.Introvigne, pp. 154,158\. Cf. also Peterson, pp. 231–260\.
"New Age anti\-Mormonism", according to Peterson, "is quite different. It admits the presence of supernatural events in the founding events of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter\-day Saints and is quite willing to acknowledge continuous supernatural influence in the life of the Church today." However, "unlike faithful Latter\-day Saints, New Age anti\-Mormons see the supernatural agents involved in the founding and progress of the Church as demonic, occultic, diabolical, luciferian."Introvigne, p. 154\.
This "New Age anti\-Mormon" grouping includes [Ed Decker](/wiki/Ed_Decker "Ed Decker"), Loftes Tryk, James R. Spencer and many others. According to Introvigne, New Age anti\-Mormonism emerged in the 1980s largely as a result of the rise of [Third\-wave Pentecostalism](/wiki/Third_Wave_of_the_Holy_Spirit "Third Wave of the Holy Spirit") and its emphasis on [spiritual warfare](/wiki/Spiritual_warfare "Spiritual warfare").Introvigne, pp. 159–161\. Cf. fn. on p. 158 for a few exceptions to the 1980s date.
Traditional anti\-Mormons, according to Peterson, are those who "are content to argue that Mormonism is untrue" and "incompatible with the Bible."Peterson, pp. 231–260\. While some may believe that Satan was indirectly involved in the founding of the LDS Church, they place little emphasis on his role. For them, naturalistic and historical explanations are always preferable to supernatural ones.Introvigne, p. 158\.
Among the most prominent of the traditional anti\-Mormons are Jerald and Sandra Tanner. Both former members of the LDS Church, the Tanners converted to evangelical Protestantism and in 1964 founded the Modern Microfilm Company to "document problems with the claims of Mormonism and to compare LDS doctrines with Christianity." In 1983 they turned their company into a non\-profit organization and renamed it the [Utah Lighthouse Ministry](/wiki/Utah_Lighthouse_Ministry "Utah Lighthouse Ministry").{{cite web \|title\=Utah Lighthouse Ministry \|work\=UTLM.org \|url\=http://www.utlm.org/ \|access\-date\=2006\-06\-01 \| archive\-url\= https://web.archive.org/web/20060610174737/http://utlm.org/\| archive\-date\= 10 June 2006 \| url\-status\= live}} The Tanners' work has included "publishing \[reprints of] many hard\-to\-find Mormon historical documents" and "\[debating] virtually every significant topic in Mormonism".Foster, Lawrence (1984\) "[Career Apostates: Reflections on the Works of Jerald and Sandra Tanner](https://www.dialoguejournal.com/wp-content/uploads/sbi/articles/Dialogue_V17N02_37.pdf)", *[Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought](/wiki/Dialogue:A_Journal_of_Mormon_Thought "A Journal of Mormon Thought")*, 17 (2\), 35,39\. During their prolific career they have published more than two hundred items on a variety of social, doctrinal, and historical issues. Despite the high caliber of some of their work,"Jerald is a brilliant analyst of detail, with an almost uncanny ability to spot textual inconsistencies which call for explanation. His analysis showing that a pamphlet attributed to Oliver Cowdery was, in fact, a clever forgery, is only one example of research and analysis that would do credit to any professional historian." Foster, Lawrence (1984\) "[Career Apostates: Reflections on the Works of Jerald and Sandra Tanner](https://www.dialoguejournal.com/wp-content/uploads/sbi/articles/Dialogue_V17N02_37.pdf)", *[Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought](/wiki/Dialogue:A_Journal_of_Mormon_Thought "A Journal of Mormon Thought")*, 17 (2\), 47\. the Tanners have been criticized on a number of points: notably for the vitriolic tone of some of their more polemical pieces, their resistance to change, and their unauthorized publication of several copyrighted documents.See also {{cite news \|last\=McCann \|first\=Sheila \|title\=Web Site Prompts Mormon Church to Sue Critics \|date\=1999\-10\-15 \|newspaper\=The Salt Lake Tribune \| quote\= The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter\-day Saints is suing longtime critics Jerald and Sandra Tanner, accusing them of violating copyright laws by posting information from an internal church handbook on the Internet..

Instead, they enlist them as allies against New Age anti\-Mormons like Ed Decker, whose fabrications the Tanners have denounced on more than one occasion.Peterson and Ricks, 13 fn. 39, 14 fn. 42\.
[Walter Martin](/wiki/Walter_Ralston_Martin "Walter Ralston Martin"), founder of the [Christian Research Institute](/wiki/Christian_Research_Institute "Christian Research Institute"), was another traditional anti\-Mormon. Martin was more controversial and contemptuous than others noted here. He portrayed Mormons as deceivers who "pose as Christians," calling them "anti\-Christian" and "a cult infiltration." Martin also claimed that Mormons secretly harbor a "deep contempt for Christians," and accused them of being egomaniacs and "cultists".Cited in Peterson and Ricks, pp. 5, 9–11\. See also Millet, Robert (2005\). *A Different Jesus? The Christ of the Latter\-day Saints*. Grand Rapids, Michigan: Eerdmans, 178–179\.
New Age anti\-Mormons have generated considerably more controversy than traditional anti\-Mormons. The most prominent of their number, [Ed Decker](/wiki/Ed_Decker "Ed Decker"), produced *[The God Makers](/wiki/The_God_Makers_%28film%29 "The God Makers (film)")* and *[The God Makers II](/wiki/The_God_Makers_II "The God Makers II")*, and wrote books by the same name. *The God Makers* has attracted criticism not only from Latter\-day Saints,According to Michael Griffith, "Even as anti\-Mormon books go, THE GODMAKERS is one of the worst, most inaccurate attacks on Mormonism ever written." {{cite web\|author\=Michael T.

#### Protests
[thumb\|right\|Protesters outside the site of the LDS general conference in 2006](/wiki/File:09302006_SaltLakeCityUT.jpg "09302006 SaltLakeCityUT.jpg")
Protesters have been visible as "street preachers" at [LDS General Conferences](/wiki/General_Conference_%28LDS_Church%29 "General Conference (LDS Church)"), outside of LDS pageants, and temples. At the Sacramento temple, for example, protesters dispersed pamphlets to visitors who came to take a guided tour. They also held up signs directing people to websites critical of the LDS Church.{{cite news\|last\=Garza \|first\=Jennifer \|title\=Mission Accomplished: Today, Mormon temple opens its doors to the public \|work\=dwb.sacbee.com \|pages\=K1 \|publisher\=\[\[The Sacramento Bee]] \|date\=2006\-06\-29 \|url\=http://dwb.sacbee.com/content/lifestyle/religion/story/14283187p\-15090959c.html \|access\-date\=2006\-09\-25 \|url\-status\=dead \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20071004201212/http://dwb.sacbee.com/content/lifestyle/religion/story/14283187p\-15090959c.html \|archive\-date\=October 4, 2007 }} Notably, protesters also made an appearance at the [2002 Winter Olympics](/wiki/2002_Winter_Olympics "2002 Winter Olympics") in Salt Lake City.{{cite web \|title\=Anti\-Mormon Efforts at the 2002 Winter Olympics \|work\=FairLDS.org \|year\=2006 \|url\=http://www.fairlds.org/Anti\-Mormons/Anti\-Mormon\_Efforts\_at\_the\_2002\_Winter\_Olympics.html \|access\-date\=2006\-09\-25 \| archive\-url\= https://web.archive.org/web/20061007200004/http://www.fairlds.org/Anti\-Mormons/Anti\-Mormon\_Efforts\_at\_the\_2002\_Winter\_Olympics.html\| archive\-date\= 7 October 2006 \| url\-status\= live}} One group that actively organizes peaceful protests, a non\-profit organization called Mormonism Research Ministry, insists that its activities are not "anti\-Mormon".
> Our goal at MRM is not to be antagonistic. In fact, whenever a representative of MRM speaks publicly on this subject, we often emphasize how Christians should reflect a Christ\-like attitude when sharing their faith. We must be firm in our convictions but compassionate and patient as well. ... It is true that, just as some Mormons want nothing more than to ridicule and insult those with whom they disagree, some Christians have done the same. This is wrong and always will be wrong.
Some other individuals have been seen throwing copies of the Book of Mormon on the ground, stepping on them, and portray using temple garments, which LDS hold sacred, as toilet tissue, and other similarly offensive actions.{{cite web \|title\=Neighborly Christian Love or Hate Speech?

As a result of organized protests at Mormon events, a number of Latter\-day Saints, and even non\-Mormons, have begun to counter\-demonstrate at events (by singing hymns, for example).{{cite web \|author\=Wilde, Tiffany \|year\=2003\|title\=Without the Walls of Temple Square \|work\=FairLDS.org \|url\=http://www.fairlds.org/Anti\-Mormons/Without\_the\_Walls\_of\_Temple\_Square.html \|access\-date\=2006\-06\-01 }} Despite the disrespect evinced by some protesters, at least one Latter\-day Saint scholar has called on his fellow Mormons to "love the street preachers". {{cite web \|author\=Starr, Lance \|year\=2003 \|title\=Why We Should Love the Street Preachers \|work\=FairLDS.org \|url\=http://www.fairlds.org/Anti\-Mormons/Why\_We\_Should\_Love\_the\_Street\_Preachers.html \|access\-date\=2006\-09\-25 \| archive\-url\= https://web.archive.org/web/20061104205226/http://www.fairlds.org/Anti\-Mormons/Why\_We\_Should\_Love\_the\_Street\_Preachers.html\| archive\-date\= 4 November 2006 \| url\-status\= live}}

### Cathedral
{{more citations needed\|section\|date\=September 2017}}
It was not until 1871, however, that cathedral plans came to be actively considered. Three years later, on 15 January 1874, the foundation stone of the cathedral church was laid. The Cathedral Church of Saint Saviour was designed by [Edmund Blacket](/wiki/Edmund_Blacket "Edmund Blacket"), a noted Colonial ecclesiastical architect. Blacket had already had some involvement with the church site at Goulburn. In 1843 he had designed a pulpit for James Hume's original brick church which was approved by Bishop Broughton and then installed.
Since Blacket's cathedral was to take ten years to construct, Blacket was also asked to design a smaller pro\-cathedral and parish Sunday school. This building was completed in 1874 and still stands within the cathedral precinct, to the west of the cathedral itself. The first Anglican church, St Saviour's, was completed in 1839 and this later became the pro\-cathedral. The first resident Anglican priest of that church was William Sowerby, who had been trained at St Bees Theological College in Cumberland, England, and moved to Australia in 1836 to answer the call for more clergy. Sowerby later became the first Dean of St Saviour's.
The Blacket cathedral was one of the architect's greatest works. It was really the only cathedral he designed unencumbered by distance, financial stringency and unsympathetic clients. It was a favourite building and Blacket spent much of the last nine years of his life working on it. Blacket gave to the cathedral a crucifix which he had carved in his youth; a controversial gift which the authorities hid away for many years. The cathedral is unmistakably a Blacket church, on a grand scale, with nave, aisles, transepts, chancel, porches and tower. It has large and elaborate stone traceried windows and an interior with a heavily carved hammer beam roof, clustered columns and foliage capitals, elaborately moulded arcades and chancel arch and the use of figurative roundels in the nave, transepts and chancel. The tower and spire, however, were never completed. The cathedral cost 20,000 pounds at the time of its completion in 1884\.
Many attempts were made subsequent to Blacket's death in 1883 and the completion of the cathedral proper one year later, to complete the cathedral's tower and spire but all these attempts were to no avail. In 1909, Edmund's son Cyril prepared documents for the completion of the tower and spire. A commemorative stone was even laid within the tower base to signal recommencement of the tower building but nothing more was done. In the 1920s, a Melbourne architect, Louis A. Williams, was asked to advise the diocese on the state of the tower footings. He reported that "...as a result of my examination of the structure and \[Blacket] drawings, I can assure you that the present tower stump and footings are of ample strength to bear the proposed superstructure."{{citation needed\|date\=December 2012}} Still no further work was undertaken.
Some ten years later, Williams and a Sydney architect, [Sir Charles Rosenthal](/wiki/Sir_Charles_Rosenthal "Sir Charles Rosenthal"), produced a joint scheme for the new cathedral tower and spire. Again, however, no work issued from all this activity. Perhaps this inactivity resulted from particularly pessimistic analyses of the tower foundations to carry the weight of the building. The stringencies imposed by World War Il also dampened enthusiasm and restricted available monies. It was not until 1984 and the introduction of the Australian Bicentennial commemorative program that funds became available for the completion of the tower and spire. A grant of $1,000,000 was announced in that year by the Premier of New South Wales and the Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn agreed to provide additional funds.{{cite news \|url\=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news\-article118208062 \|title\=After 110 years the tower rises. \|newspaper\=\[\[Canberra Times\|The Canberra Times (ACT : 1926 \- 1995\)]] \|location\=ACT \|date\=26 February 1986 \|access\-date\=15 March 2014 \|page\=32 \|publisher\=National Library of Australia}}

A series of tasks were early identified as critical to the project's success. The first task was the undertaking of a thorough geotechnical examination of the existing tower founding material. This investigation showed quite clearly that the existing footings to the tower were not adequate to carry the load of the intended tower and spire. Nine metre bore holes were drilled through the existing foundations and a footing/soil profile was established. This soil profile showed that beneath the sandstone and lime concrete footings was a 1\.5 to 2\.0 metre band of sandy clay, and weathered sandstone, which was judged inadequate to carry the tower loads, particularly under the stress of wind and seismic loading.
As a result of this study, engineering documentation was prepared for the underpinning of the existing tower. This work involved the excavation of the interior of the tower base to a depth of 8\.5 metres. For this excavation, "drives" were taken out diagonally under each buttress for a length of four metres. These drives were then excavated clean and a reinforced concrete structure poured into the drive. The drive was then sealed and an adjacent area excavated. This process was continued until the tower walls were underpinned. This underpinning work was made more complex by the requirement to preserve intact the grave of [Bishop Chalmers](/wiki/Bishop_Chalmers "Bishop Chalmers"), directly to the east of the tower wall. At the completion of underpinning, the tower core was filled with mass concrete. During the excavation preparatory to the underpinning work, considerable ground water was also encountered at the cathedral sub\-floor level. This ground water had followed the underlying rock strata and pooled at the cathedral east end and tower walls. Drainage of this sub\-floor water is part of the associated cathedral conservation project.
A second task faced by the project team was the preparation of adequate "base" drawings for the tower project, and for the related conservation project that was to proceed simultaneously with the tower. Fortunately, the team was aided in this work by the Australian Survey Office, who undertook the photo grammetrical survey of the entire cathedral. Base plans had also to be produced of every stone course within the proposed building, to allow an early understanding of stone sizes and quantities.
A third task was the investigation of suitable stone types and sources for the proposed building. The demolished remains of a local stone bridge, the Fitzroy Bridge, which once spanned the Wollondilly River east of Goulburn were available. This stone, though plentiful in quantity and though from the same quarry source, was not adequate in quantity or dimension to fulfil the requirements for the proposed tower and spire. A search for the original quarry was begun and it was eventually found just east of a small town called Marulan, some 30 kilometres east of Goulburn. The quarry, which had not been disturbed for almost a hundred years, was an archaeological site, but not suited to the extraction of stone in the quantities required by the project. The costs of re\-opening the quarry were outside the resources of the project. Other sources were investigated and eventually an operational quarry north of Sydney was selected for the supply of stone to the project. This quarry, Central Coast Quarries, had the ability to provide the quantities of stone work required as well as the capacity to produce profiled stone. The Fitzroy Bridge stone was used for the "rock faced: body work, being appropriately sized for that use. When the project commenced other sources became known, particularly another source of (original) Marulan stone left unused at another Goulburn church.
The final task of this first, investigative phase was for the consultant team to visit other bell towers and spires within Australia. Only one other "completion" project of similar size and philosophical intent has been completed in Australia, That project, at Bendigo in Victoria, was visited by the consultant team and considerable data was exchanged with that project's architects.
On 1 August 1986 the stonemasons commenced work at the Goulburn site. The team had been assembled from Goulburn and environs, which had a rich and continuing tradition of stonemasonry work. The project manager and a specialist setter\-out draughtsman were brought out from England to assist the project as no similar expertise existed within Australia.
Initially, the stonemasons were engaged in preparing the Fitzroy Bridge stone for the rock faced work. The setter\-out draughtsman commenced the preparation of stone "shop drawings" for use by the masons. Working from a 1:100 scale plans and elevations, the draughtsman prepared drawings scheduling every stone in the building. Full\-size drawings were then prepared of architectural elements, such as windows, string course, profiles and friezes. From these full\-size drawings profiles for all stones were prepared as well as isometric drawings for each "special" stone were made available to the stonemasons. With the profile and isometric shop drawings, the masons prepared the worked stone for the project.
Parallel with this activity, engineering drawings were prepared for the concrete structure within the tower. This structure was required to stabilise the tower upper structure and support the thirteen bell bell\-peal to be hung on the tower. Considerable work was done on the likely loadings imposed by the large bell peal and the concrete internal frame adopted as a result.

The project manager and a specialist setter\-out draughtsman were brought out from England to assist the project as no similar expertise existed within Australia.
Building commenced in February 1987\. The first work was to remove the existing Church of Saint Saviour's tenor bell, the existing (temporary) roof, and the weathered render to the top of the wall. During this work, the 1909 commemoration stone was discovered. It has always been a tenet of the consultant's work on the project that their building would resemble Edmund Blacket's original design as closely as possible. In accordance with this principal, it was decided very early that the tower/spire would be a mass masonry structure, with the concrete substructure introduced only as demanded by seismic and bell ringing loads. The mass structure employed was of face sandstone with 'through' stones as required, with a mass brickwork backing making up the rest of the wall. This dry press brickwork was to be laid integrally with the stonework in garden bond.
The spire is yet to be completed.

In accordance with this principal, it was decided very early that the tower/spire would be a mass masonry structure, with the concrete substructure introduced only as demanded by seismic and bell ringing loads. The mass structure employed was of face sandstone with 'through' stones as required, with a mass brickwork backing making up the rest of the wall. This dry press brickwork was to be laid integrally with the stonework in garden bond.

"A series of tasks were early identified as critical to the project's success. The first task was the undertaking of a thorough geotechnical examination of the existing tower founding material. This investigation showed quite clearly that the existing footings to the tower were not adequate to carry the load of the intended tower and spire. Nine metre bore holes were drilled through the existing foundations and a footing/soil profile was established. This soil profile showed that beneath the sandstone and lime concrete footings was a 1\\.5 to 2\\.0 metre band of sandy clay, and weathered sandstone, which was judged inadequate to carry the tower loads, particularly under the stress of wind and seismic loading.",
"As a result of this study, engineering documentation was prepared for the underpinning of the existing tower. This work involved the excavation of the interior of the tower base to a depth of 8\\.5 metres. For this excavation, \"drives\" were taken out diagonally under each buttress for a length of four metres. These drives were then excavated clean and a reinforced concrete structure poured into the drive. The drive was then sealed and an adjacent area excavated. This process was continued until the tower walls were underpinned. This underpinning work was made more complex by the requirement to preserve intact the grave of [Bishop Chalmers](/wiki/Bishop_Chalmers \"Bishop Chalmers\"), directly to the east of the tower wall. At the completion of underpinning, the tower core was filled with mass concrete. During the excavation preparatory to the underpinning work, considerable ground water was also encountered at the cathedral sub\\-floor level. This ground water had followed the underlying rock strata and pooled at the cathedral east end and tower walls. Drainage of this sub\\-floor water is part of the associated cathedral conservation project.",
"A second task faced by the project team was the preparation of adequate \"base\" drawings for the tower project, and for the related conservation project that was to proceed simultaneously with the tower. Fortunately, the team was aided in this work by the Australian Survey Office, who undertook the photo grammetrical survey of the entire cathedral. Base plans had also to be produced of every stone course within the proposed building, to allow an early understanding of stone sizes and quantities.",
"A third task was the investigation of suitable stone types and sources for the proposed building. The demolished remains of a local stone bridge, the Fitzroy Bridge, which once spanned the Wollondilly River east of Goulburn were available. This stone, though plentiful in quantity and though from the same quarry source, was not adequate in quantity or dimension to fulfil the requirements for the proposed tower and spire. A search for the original quarry was begun and it was eventually found just east of a small town called Marulan, some 30 kilometres east of Goulburn. The quarry, which had not been disturbed for almost a hundred years, was an archaeological site, but not suited to the extraction of stone in the quantities required by the project. The costs of re\\-opening the quarry were outside the resources of the project. Other sources were investigated and eventually an operational quarry north of Sydney was selected for the supply of stone to the project. This quarry, Central Coast Quarries, had the ability to provide the quantities of stone work required as well as the capacity to produce profiled stone. The Fitzroy Bridge stone was used for the \"rock faced: body work, being appropriately sized for that use. When the project commenced other sources became known, particularly another source of (original) Marulan stone left unused at another Goulburn church.",
"The final task of this first, investigative phase was for the consultant team to visit other bell towers and spires within Australia. Only one other \"completion\" project of similar size and philosophical intent has been completed in Australia, That project, at Bendigo in Victoria, was visited by the consultant team and considerable data was exchanged with that project's architects.",
"On 1 August 1986 the stonemasons commenced work at the Goulburn site. The team had been assembled from Goulburn and environs, which had a rich and continuing tradition of stonemasonry work. The project manager and a specialist setter\\-out draughtsman were brought out from England to assist the project as no similar expertise existed within Australia.",
"Initially, the stonemasons were engaged in preparing the Fitzroy Bridge stone for the rock faced work. The setter\\-out draughtsman commenced the preparation of stone \"shop drawings\" for use by the masons. Working from a 1:100 scale plans and elevations, the draughtsman prepared drawings scheduling every stone in the building. Full\\-size drawings were then prepared of architectural elements, such as windows, string course, profiles and friezes. From these full\\-size drawings profiles for all stones were prepared as well as isometric drawings for each \"special\" stone were made available to the stonemasons. With the profile and isometric shop drawings, the masons prepared the worked stone for the project.",
"Parallel with this activity, engineering drawings were prepared for the concrete structure within the tower. This structure was required to stabilise the tower upper structure and support the thirteen bell bell\\-peal to be hung on the tower. Considerable work was done on the likely loadings imposed by the large bell peal and the concrete internal frame adopted as a result.",
"On 1 August 1986, the stonemasons commenced work at the Goulburn site. The team had been assembled from Goulburn and environs, which had a rich and continuing tradition of stonemasonry work. The project manager and a specialist setter\\-out draughtsman were brought out from England to assist the project as no similar expertise existed within Australia.",
"Building commenced in February 1987\\. The first work was to remove the existing Church of Saint Saviour's tenor bell, the existing (temporary) roof, and the weathered render to the top of the wall. During this work, the 1909 commemoration stone was discovered.

Heritage listing
----------------
Commenced in 1874 and finally dedicated in 1884 St Saviour's Cathedral is of State significance because it is one of the finest designs by the leading colonial ecclesiastical architect, Edmund Thomas Blacket. It reflects the characteristics of a Victorian Gothic style church and has a masterly use of materials, design and detail. Blacket also designed the Parish Hall adjacent to the cathedral which was used as the pro\-cathedral before the new cathedral was finished. The cathedral has a grand scale with nave, aisles, transepts, chancel, porches and tower; large and elaborate stone traceried windows and an impressive interior with a heavily carved hammer beam roof, clustered columns and foliage capitals, elaborately moulded arcades and chancel arch, and a striking use of figurative roundels in the nave, transepts and chancel. The tower however was not completed until 1988/9\.
The cathedral site is the place from which the Anglican Diocese of Goulburn developed. It also provides physical evidence of the growth and importance of Goulburn as a regional centre in the latter half of the 19th century.
The building has social and spiritual significance for both Anglicans and the broader community as a place of worship. It is the centre of the Diocese; it draws visitors for its aesthetic value and for the highly significant cultural collection associated with the cathedral.
The Moveable Collection is highly significant.
The cathedral's moveable collection shows a high degree of consistency between the design of the building and its contents. Two unique features are a pulpit crucifix carved by Blacket in 1842 and, within Australia, the 14 MacIntosh medallions depicting the life of Christ. The cathedral provides a tangible connection with the [Community of the Ascension](/wiki/Community_of_the_Ascension "Community of the Ascension"), the first religious order for men in Australia, through the relocation to the cathedral precinct of a number of items associated with the members. The cathedral's twelve bells give it the distinction of being the only Regional Tower in the Southern Hemisphere with such a peal and the thirteenth bell, the Flat 6th, allows for special ringing effects.
St Saviour's Cathedral, Goulburn was listed on the [New South Wales State Heritage Register](/wiki/New_South_Wales_State_Heritage_Register "New South Wales State Heritage Register") on 20 April 2009 having satisfied the following criteria.
**The place is important in demonstrating the course, or pattern, of cultural or natural history in New South Wales.**
The St Saviour's Cathedral is historically significant for the important role it played in the growth and consolidation of the Anglican Church in southern NSW. It provides physical evidence of Goulburn as a major ecclesiastical centre in the latter half of the 19th century and the emergence of Goulburn as the main commercial and administrative centre in the region. The cathedral precinct is historically important as the place from which the Diocese of Goulburn developed. The Anglican Diocese of Goulburn originally comprised 1/3 of NSW and although divided with the Riverina in 1884, when the new Cathedral was opened in 1884 it continued to be the spiritual and administrative centre of a very large Diocese. Although the Bishop relocated his residence and the Diocesan Registry to [Canberra](/wiki/Canberra "Canberra") in 1950 the cathedral building has remained in use as the Canberra/Goulburn diocese cathedral.
**The place has a strong or special association with a person, or group of persons, of importance of cultural or natural history of New South Wales's history.**
The cathedral was designed by the influential colonial ecclesiastical architect, Edmund Thomas Blacket who dominated ecclesiastical architecture in New South Wales for forty years. Blacket was associated with the place as early as 1843 when he designed the pulpit for the Old St Saviour's Church at a request from Bishop [William Broughton](/wiki/William_Broughton_%28bishop%29 "William Broughton (bishop)"). He also designed the Parish Hall (originally the pro\-cathedral which opened in 1875\). [Edmund Blacket](/wiki/Edmund_Blacket "Edmund Blacket") died in 1883 and the cathedral was completed by his sons, Cyril and Arthur both of whom continued the Blacket architectural practice.
The cathedral is also associated with the early career of Edmund Cooper Manfred who acted as Blacket's site representative and later went on to be an important architect in Goulburn. Between 1880 and 1914 Manfred designed a large number of houses; ecclesiastical buildings; shops; hotels; the town hall, the hospital and the first swimming pool. His work clearly shows the architectural influence of Blacket.
Well known names with an association with the cathedral and included in the Australian Dictionary of Biography are the clergy Dean William Sowerby, Bishop Mesac Thomas, Bishop EH Burgmann and landowners such as Campbell, Gibson and Faithfull.
**The place is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in New South Wales.**
St Saviour's Cathedral exemplifies the characteristics of a Victorian Gothic style church and has a masterly use of materials, design and detail. The cathedral is one of Edmund Blacket's finest works. The building has a grand scale, with nave, aisles, transepts, chancel, porches and tower; large and elaborate stone traceried windows and an impressive interior with a heavily carved hammer beam roof, clustered columns and foliage capitals, elaborately moulded arcades and chancel arch, and a striking use of figurative roundels in the nave, transepts and chancel. The cathedral is a landmark building in Goulburn, strategically located to be viewed along the axis of Montague street from [Auburn](/wiki/Auburn%2C_New_South_Wales "Auburn, New South Wales") Street ([Old Hume Highway](/wiki/Old_Hume_Highway "Old Hume Highway")) and along Bourke Street. It also has a strong architectural dialogue with the Catholic cathedral of Saint's Peter and Paul further along Bourke Street.
**The place has a strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group in New South Wales for social, cultural or spiritual reasons.**
The Cathedral plays an important role as a central place of worship and prayer for the Anglican congregation of the Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn. The cathedral attracts 6,000 visitors per year as a place of worship; for its architectural value; for the culturally significant moveable collection and for the concerts and exhibitions held there. It plays an important role in the annual Goulburn Mulwaree Festival of Heritage and Roses (incorporating Cathedral Week) and is used in tourism promotion of the town.
**The place has potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales.**
The burials on the site have the potential to reveal information about persons associated with the cathedral.
**The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places/environments in New South Wales.**
The cathedral is an exceptional example of the work of the influential colonial ecclesiastical architect, Edmund Thomas Blacket. It is a fine example of a Victorian Gothic sandstone cathedral.

Ian Wyndham ([Nicholls](/wiki/Paul_Nicholls_%28actor%29 "Paul Nicholls (actor)")) is a British businessman who lives with his American musician girlfriend, Samantha Andrews ([Hewitt](/wiki/Jennifer_Love_Hewitt "Jennifer Love Hewitt")), in London. Taking us through a day in Ian and Samantha's life, the film opens by showing different events such as Samantha getting burnt on a kettle, Ian's watch breaking, Samantha getting [Coca\-Cola](/wiki/Coca-Cola "Coca-Cola") splashed on her clothing, and Ian being interrupted by Samantha during an important meeting at work.
Samantha gets angry at Ian as he always treats her as his second priority and tells him that she just wants him to love her. Ian makes one last attempt to reconcile with Samantha. An angry Samantha gets into a taxi and asks Ian whether he is coming or not \- he remains on the sidewalk. The taxi is [T\-boned](/wiki/Side_collision "Side collision"), and Samantha dies. From the hospital, a heartbroken Ian returns to their apartment, finds Samantha's notebook and opens it, finding a song she was working on. He falls asleep clutching the notebook.
When he awakes in the morning, he is shocked to hear Samantha talking, and wakes to find her in the bed beside him. He is scared at first but after the initial confusion, concludes that the previous day must have been a dream. Ian feels happy to have Samantha by his side.
The events of the day are similar to those he already experienced in the "dream", although occurring at different times and in different ways. Ian is sure that he had a premonition and that at day's end, Samantha will die. Samantha does burn her hand; she gets soda on her blouse, but in different manners from the previous occasion. And Ian's watch remains in working order this time. Perhaps most important, his meeting seeking financial backing for his company's next project is successful, unlike before. After the meeting he takes a taxi, and finds that the driver is the same from the previous evening \- who told Ian that the most important thing to be done was to really love Samantha.
He chases around London until he locates Samantha, and convinces her to temporarily leave the city. At her choice, they take the train to Ian's home town, and climb his favorite hill. A sudden shower sends them into an isolated hut. There, he asks her how she would spend her last day if she only had one left. She replies that she would spend it with him. He declares his devotion to her, and they make love before the fire. Back in town they have drinks at his late father's favorite hangout. He describes his father, previously an idol to his son before he (and the rest of the town) lost his job when a factory closed, causing the father to become an alcoholic. The two return to London and Ian takes Samantha on the [London Eye](/wiki/London_Eye "London Eye") as another surprise. They return to their apartment and Ian surreptitiously removes a folded\-up song from her notebook and takes it to a copy shop while Samantha travels to her concert with her violin. Before the show begins Ian gives the photocopied pages to an organizer. After the performance in which Samantha is a violinist, the organiser announces Samantha's name as the next performer. A nervous Samantha proceeds onto the stage as the orchestra begins to play the song printed on Ian's photocopied sheets. She sings the song she wrote for Ian in her notebook and the crowd burst into applause at her performance.
Instead of going to Tantra, the restaurant that Ian had made reservations for, they eat at a more intimate restaurant of Samantha's choice, which Ian also enjoys. Ian gifts her a bracelet with meaningful charms. They have a nice time. After the dinner, as they are standing outside of Tantra, where they had eaten in his "dream", Ian tells Samantha why he loves her. As the taxi pulls over and Samantha gets in, she asks him again whether he is getting in or not. This time Ian gets in and sees that the cab driver is the same as before. As the clock strikes 11, the taxi (again) meets with a sideways collision.
The hospital scene is repeated, where Samantha's friend runs to console the survivor of the crash. This time, however, Samantha was hurt but survived, while Ian is the victim.
The film ends six months later, with Samantha packing up the apartment she shared with Ian while looking at his watch, and then performing onstage while wearing the bracelet that Ian gave her, with tears in her eyes but smiling, intercut with a scene of her finally getting to the top of the mountain that she tried to climb with Ian on that last day together.

Patterns
--------
{{main\|Architectural pattern}}
{{see\|Software design patterns}}
Applications can be classified in various types depending on the applications [architecture pattern](/wiki/Architecture_pattern "Architecture pattern") they follow.
A "pattern" has been defined as:
*"an idea that has been useful in one practical context and will probably be useful in others”.*
To create patterns, one needs building blocks. Building blocks are components of [software](/wiki/Software "Software"), mostly reusable, which can be utilized to create certain functions. Patterns are a way of putting building blocks into context and describe how to use the building blocks to address one or multiple architectural concerns.
An application is a compilation of various functionalities, all typically following the same pattern. This pattern defines the application's pattern.
Application patterns can describe structural (deployment/distribution\-related) or behavioural (process flow or interaction/integration\-related) characteristics and an application architecture may leverage one or a mix of patterns.
The idea of patterns has been around almost since the beginning of [computer science](/wiki/Computer_science "Computer science"), but it was most famously popularized by the "[Gang of Four](/wiki/Design_Patterns "Design Patterns")" (GoF) though many of their patterns are "software architecture" patterns rather than "application architecture" patterns.
In addition to the GoF, [Thomas Erl](/wiki/Thomas_Erl "Thomas Erl") is a well\-known author of various types of patterns, and most of the large software tools vendors, such as [Microsoft](/wiki/Microsoft "Microsoft"), have published extensive pattern libraries.
Despite the plethora of patterns that have been published, there are relatively few patterns that can be thought of as "industry standard". Some of the best\-known of these include:
* **single\-tier**/[thick client](/wiki/Rich_client "Rich client")/[desktop application](/wiki/Application_software "Application software") (structural pattern): an application that exists only on a single computer, typically a desktop. One can, of course have the same desktop application on many computers, but they do not interact with one another (with rare exceptions).
* [client\-server](/wiki/Client%E2%80%93server_model "Client–server model")/2\-tier (structural pattern): an application that consists of a [front\-end](/wiki/Frontend_and_backend "Frontend and backend") (user\-facing) layer running as a rich client that communicates to a [back\-end](/wiki/Frontend_and_backend "Frontend and backend") (server) which provides business logic, [workflow](/wiki/Workflow_pattern "Workflow pattern"), integration and [data services](/wiki/Data_as_a_service "Data as a service"). In contrast to desktop applications (which are single\-user), client\-server applications are almost always multi\-user applications.
* **n\-tier** (structural pattern): an extension of the client\-server pattern, where the server functions are split into multiple layers, which are distributed onto different computers across a [local\-area network](/wiki/Local_area_network "Local area network") (LAN).
* **distributed** ([structural pattern](/wiki/Structural_pattern "Structural pattern")): an extension of the n\-tier pattern where the server functions are distributed across a [wide\-area network](/wiki/Wide_area_network "Wide area network") (WAN) or cloud. This pattern also include some [behavioural pattern](/wiki/Behavioral_pattern "Behavioral pattern") attributes because the server functions must be designed to be more autonomous and function in an [asynchronous](/wiki/Asynchrony_%28computer_programming%29 "Asynchrony (computer programming)") dialog with the other functions in order to deal with potentially\-significant [latency](/wiki/Latency_%28engineering%29 "Latency (engineering)") that can occur in WAN and [cloud](/wiki/Cloud_computing "Cloud computing") deployment scenarios.
* **horizontal scalability** (structural pattern): a pattern for running multiple copies of server functions on multiple computers in such a way that increasing processing load can be spread across increasing numbers of [instances](/wiki/Instance_%28computer_science%29 "Instance (computer science)") of the functions rather than having to re\-deploy the functions on larger, more powerful computers. [Cloud\-native applications](/wiki/Cloud-native_computing "Cloud-native computing") are fundamentally\-based on horizontal scalability.
* **event\-driven architecture** (behavioural pattern): Data events (which may have initially originated from a [device](/wiki/Device_driver "Device driver"), application, user, [data store](/wiki/Data_store "Data store") or clock) and event detection logic which may conditionally discard the event, initiate an event\-related process, alert a user or device manager, or update a data store. The event\-driven pattern is fundamental to the asynchronous processing required by the [distributed architecture](/wiki/Distributed_computing "Distributed computing") pattern.
* **ETL** (behavioural pattern): An application process pattern for extracting data from an originating source, transforming that data according to some business rules, and then loading that data into a destination. Variations on the ETL pattern include ELT and ETLT.
* **Request\-Reply** (behavioural pattern): An application integration pattern for exchanging data where the application requests data from another application and waits for a reply containing the requested data. This is the most prominent example of a synchronous pattern, in contrast to the asynchronous processing referred to in previous pattern descriptions.
The right applications pattern depends on the organization's industry and use of the component applications.
An organization could have a mix of multiple patterns if it has grown both organically and through acquisitions.

Application architect
---------------------
TOGAF describes both the skills and the role expectations of an **Application architect**. These skills include an understanding of application modularization/distribution, integration, high availability, and scalability patterns, technology and trends. Increasingly, an understanding of application containers, serverless computing, storage, data and analytics, and other cloud\-related technology and services are required application architect skills. While a software background is a great foundation for an application architect, programming and software design are not skills required of an application architect (these are actually skills for a Software Architect, who is a leader on the [computer programming](/wiki/Computer_programming "Computer programming") team).
### Knowledge domains
Application modeling Employs modeling as a framework for the deployment and integration of new or enhanced applications, uses modeling to find problems, reduce risk, improve predictability, reduce cost and time\-to\-market, tests various product scenarios, incorporating clients' nonfunctional needs/requirements, adds test design decisions to the development process as necessary, evaluates product design problems.
[Competitive intelligence](/wiki/Competitive_intelligence "Competitive intelligence"), [business modeling](/wiki/Business_modeling "Business modeling"), strategic analysis Understanding of the global marketplace, consumers, industries and competition, and how global business models, strategies, finances, operations and structures interrelate. Understanding of the competitive environment, including current trend in the market, industry, competition and regulatory environment, as well as understanding of how the components of business model (i.e. strategy, finances, operations) interrelate to make organization competitive in the marketplace. Understanding of organization's [business processes](/wiki/Business_process "Business process"), systems, tools, regulations and structure and how they interrelate to provide products and services that create value for customers, consumers and key stakeholders. Understanding of how the value create for customers, consumers and key stakeholders aligns with organization's vision, business, culture, value proposition, brand promise and strategic imperatives. Understanding of organization's past and present achievements and shortcomings to assess strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and risks in relation to the competitive environment.
Technology Understanding of [IT strategy](/wiki/IT_strategy "IT strategy"), development lifecycle and application/infrastructure maintenance; Understanding of IT service and support processes to promote competitive advantage, create efficiencies and add value to the business.
Technology standards Demonstrates a thorough understanding of the [key technologies](/wiki/Key_technologies "Key technologies") which form the infrastructure necessary to effectively support existing and future [business requirements](/wiki/Business_requirements "Business requirements"), ensures that all hardware and software comply with baseline requirements and standards before being integrated into the business environment, understands and is able to develop technical standards and procedures to facilitate the use of new technologies, develops useful guidelines for using and applying new technologies.
### Tasks
An applications architect is a master of everything application\-specific in an organization.
An applications architect provides strategic guidelines to the applications maintenance teams by understanding all the applications from the following perspectives:
* [Interoperability](/wiki/Interoperability "Interoperability") capability
* Performance and [scalability](/wiki/Scalability "Scalability")
* [Reliability](/wiki/Reliability_engineering "Reliability engineering") and [availability](/wiki/Availability "Availability")
* [Application lifecycle](/wiki/Application_lifecycle "Application lifecycle") stage
* Technological risks
* Number of instances
The above analysis will point out applications that need a range of changes – from change in deployment strategy for fragmented applications to a total replacement for applications at the end of their technology or functionality lifecycle.
#### Functionality footprint
Understand the system process flow of the primary business processes. It gives a clear picture of the functionality map and the applications footprint of various applications across the map.
Many organizations do not have documentation discipline and hence lack detailed business process flows and system process flows. One may have to start an initiative to put those in place first.
#### Create solution architecture guidelines
Every organization has a core set of applications that are used across multiple divisions either as a single instance or a different instance per division. Create a solution architecture template for all the core applications so that all the projects have a common starting ground for designing implementations.
The standards in architecture world are defined in TOGAF, [The Open Group Architecture Framework](/wiki/The_Open_Group_Architecture_Framework "The Open Group Architecture Framework") describes the four components of EA as BDAT ([Business architecture](/wiki/Business_architecture "Business architecture"), [Data architecture](/wiki/Data_architecture "Data architecture"), Application Architecture and [Technical architecture](/wiki/Technical_architecture "Technical architecture"),
There are also other standards to consider, depending on the level of complexity of the organization:
* The [Zachman Framework](/wiki/Zachman_Framework "Zachman Framework") for EA
* [Federal enterprise architecture](/wiki/Federal_enterprise_architecture "Federal enterprise architecture") (FEA)
* Gartner{{cite web \| title\=Application Architecture \| website\=Gartner IT Glossary \| date\=2012\-02\-09 \| url\=https://www.gartner.com/it\-glossary/application\-architecture\-aa \| access\-date\=2017\-07\-26}}

Career
------
Commissioned in the [Royal Marines](/wiki/Royal_Marines "Royal Marines") on 1 September 1934,{{London Gazette\|issue\=34086\|date\=11 September 1934\|page\=2\|supp\=y}} 'Griff' was on {{HMS\|Resolution\|09\|6}} off the coast of Spain during the [Spanish Civil War](/wiki/Spanish_Civil_War "Spanish Civil War").{{cite book\|title\=\[\[Navy List\|The Navy List]]\|year\=1937\|page\=26\|publisher\=\[\[Her Majesty's Stationery Office]]}} In 1938 his elder brother was killed in the Indian Army.{{How\|date\=October 2023}} He took up flying in January that year and was eventually assigned to [803 Naval Air Squadron](/wiki/803_Naval_Air_Squadron "803 Naval Air Squadron") flying [Blackburn Skua](/wiki/Blackburn_Skua "Blackburn Skua") dive\-bombers aboard {{HMS\|Ark Royal\|91\|6}}.
### Second World War
Eleven days into the [Second World War](/wiki/Second_World_War "Second World War"), HMS *Ark Royal* picked up an [SOS](/wiki/SOS "SOS") from the merchant ship [SS *Fanad Head*](/wiki/SS_Fanad_Head "SS Fanad Head"), under attack from [German submarine U30](/wiki/German_submarine_U-30_%281936%29 "German submarine U-30 (1936)"). Three Skuas, including one piloted by Griffiths, conducted the first British Naval bombing of the war. Due to the incorrect fuse arming in relation to the height of attack, the bomb explosions of Griff's aircraft and that of Lieutenant Thurstan RN damaged the tails of both planes, and they crashed into the sea with the loss of each air observer. Griff and Thurstan were the first naval officers captured in the war.
At the time of their capture, the [prisoner of war](/wiki/Prisoner_of_war "Prisoner of war") camp infrastructure was only just developing; those in captivity found their conditions relatively relaxed. Griff was placed in a number of POW camps – including Spangenburg Castle ([Oflag IX\-A/H](/wiki/Oflag_IX-A/H "Oflag IX-A/H")) and [Dulag luft](/wiki/Dulag_luft "Dulag luft") – before incarceration in [Stalag Luft III](/wiki/Stalag_Luft_III "Stalag Luft III").
Stalag Luft III achieved worldwide notoriety thanks to *[The Great Escape](/wiki/The_Great_Escape_%28film%29 "The Great Escape (film)")* released in 1963\. During Griff's time in captivity there, he put his considerable artistic skills to good use. He was a forger, producing fake documents as required, and he also produced detailed paintings of aeroplanes based on aspects of those in current production, to provide misinformation to the enemy in order to buy time.
Griff was also in contact with [MI9](/wiki/MI9 "MI9") (British Military Intelligence Section 9\) – his letters to the *Globe \& Laurel* (the Royal Marines Corps' publication) contained encrypted details for MI9 of identities of personnel in the camp.
Griff spent the remainder of the war in [Stalag Luft III](/wiki/Stalag_Luft_III "Stalag Luft III"). In 1945 he led the captives of his camp out to the Americans after being mistaken by Germans as being a Hungarian officer.
### Post\-war
Following the war, Griff underwent significant re\-training to fly the latest aircraft. Once flying again, he served aboard {{HMS\|Glory\|R62\|6}}. During the [Korean War](/wiki/Korean_War "Korean War"), he was instrumental in providing the first visual confirmation of a downed MiG 15 jet, which led to the first capture of this type by the west.
In later years, from 1953 to 1958, Griff became the Editor of the *Globe \& Laurel* publication. He also ran the *Bolero* coffee shop in [Chichester](/wiki/Chichester "Chichester") (West Sussex, England). Between 1969 and 1980, he was domestic superintendent for the Royal West Sussex Hospital, and subsequently the whole Chichester district. Griff died from a heart attack on 12 July 1999 aged 84\. The complete collection of watercolours and drawings he completed during his service career were subsequently bequeathed to the [Royal Marines Museum](/wiki/Royal_Marines_Museum "Royal Marines Museum").
