1789 - The U.S. Treasury Department was established, as Congress built the structures of government under the newly ratified Constitution. Pres. Washington appointed Alexander Hamilton to the position of Secretary of the Treasury a few days later.

1864 - General William Tecumseh Sherman's forces occupied Atlanta.

1901 - Vice President Theodore Roosevelt said, "Speak softly and carry a big stick," in a public speech.

1945 - Japan formally surrendered, ending World War II.

1969 - The first ATM went into operation at Chemical Bank in New York City.

Guess that would disguise and cover a CCW pretty well; maybe better than a Hawaiian shirt.

Edit to add: Get you some bell bottoms and a 'fro and you could look like the Mod Squad!
