⚓️ August 30, 1781

A game-changing moment in the American Revolution.

On this day, a fleet of 24 French warships carrying 3,500 troops, led by Admiral de Grasse, arrived near the Chesapeake Bay. Their arrival would prove critical.

🇫🇷 Soon after, these French forces defeated the British at the Battle of the Virginia Capes, cutting off escape and resupply for Lord Cornwallis’s army at Yorktown.

This bold naval maneuver set the stage for the Siege of Yorktown—the final major battle of the war and a decisive step toward American independence.

Women’s Equality Day - August 26, 2026

Today we honor the 106th anniversary of the 19th Amendment and the generations of women who fought so that every American woman could cast her vote.
The image below shows a ballot marked for Alice Paul - the determined suffragist who drafted the Equal Rights Amendment, organized the 1913 Woman Suffrage Procession in Washington, D.C., and never stopped pushing for full equality under the law. Her work, together with that of countless others, helped secure the right to vote in 1920.

Why August 26? - On this day in 1920, the 19th Amendment was certified, guaranteeing women the right to vote nationwide. Women’s Equality Day was established by Congress in 1971 to commemorate that milestone and to renew our commitment to equal opportunity.

The Daughters of the American Revolution continues to celebrate this achievement and to encourage civic participation. The right to vote is both a privilege and a responsibility, one we exercise with pride and gratitude for those who came before us. Join the Louis Joliet Chapter in remembering Alice Paul and all the women who made our voices count.

Chapter Regent Dr. Judy McCrary; Lallie Leighton, vice regent/treasurer and Constitution Week chair; and Chapter Member Claudia Clark witnessed as Scottsboro Mayor Jim McCamy signed the proclamation declaring Constitution Week. Treasurer Leighton; Claudia Clark, and Regent McCrary decorated a display case at Scottsboro Public Library that includes the city's proclamation. The DAR petitioned the U.S. Congress to create the annual observance, which U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed into law in 1956. The Tidence Lane Chapter is only one of the more than 3,000 chapters worldwide that encourage citizens to learn more about the Constitution and celebrate its creation each year.

in 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, granting women the right to vote. Today marks the 106th anniversary of this monumental moment in American history.

DAR member Febb Ensminger Burn played a pivotal role in its passage. Her son, Congressman Harry T. Burn, was prepared to vote against the amendment, and the outcome hinged on his decision. Just before the vote, he received a letter from his mother urging him to change course: "Hurrah, and vote for suffrage!" she wrote, encouraging him to "be a good boy" and vote in favor at the last minute.

The next day, Congressman Burn cited his mother's advice in a speech explaining his decision to vote in favor, securing ratification and forever changing the course of American history.

August 14, 1765, Boston's Sons of Liberty gathered beneath a great elm tree to protest the Stamp Act, Britain's first direct tax on the American colonies. They hung an effigy of the local stamp tax collector from its branches, and that elm soon earned a new name: the Liberty Tree.

It became a rallying point for Patriots in the years that followed, a living symbol that resistance to ""taxation without representation"" could take root and grow.

Eleven years before independence was declared, the seeds of revolution were already being planted.
