The execution of James W. Fannin, Jr.'s command in the Goliad Massacre was not without precedent, however, and Mexican president and general Antonio López de Santa Anna, who ultimately ordered the exterminations, was operating within Mexican law. Therefore, the massacre cannot be considered...

This speech was actually given a few weeks prior at a fundraiser in Coconut Grove in Los Angeles. After the speech Mr. Regan was approached by “a delegation of high-powered Republicans” and asked to record that same speech on national TV. This speech raised 8 million dollars for the Barry Goldwater campaign. This speech was also the launching pad for Ronald Regan’s political spotlight. According to President Regan, he never gave this speech a title. A brief history of President Regan is important to the description of this artifact.

President Regan was a known actor and appeared in a total of 53 films during his career. In 1966 he was elected Governor of California and re-elected in 1970.
