Emanuel Moravec Emanuel Moravec ( April 17 , 1893 , Prague – May 5 , 1945 Prague ) was a pre - war Czechoslovakia n army colonel who became a Nazi collaborator during World War II . Moravec worked as a professor at the higher military school in pre - war Czechoslovakia . After the Munich agreement , he decided that the only hope for a peaceful life was to join the Third Reich . So he served as joint Minister of Education and National Enlightenment in the puppet government of Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia , which was reorganized by the Reich Protector Reinhard Heydrich in January 1942 . As propaganda minister , he worked to persuade the Czechs to be loyal to Nazi Germany .

Proclamation of Rebellion The Proclamation of Rebellion , officially titled A Proclamation for Suppressing Rebellion and Sedition , was the response of George III of Great Britain to the news of the Battle of Bunker Hill at the outset of the American Revolutionary War . Issued August 23 , 1775 , it declared elements of the American colonies in a state of " open and avowed rebellion " . It ordered officials of the British Empire " to use their utmost endeavours to withstand and suppress such rebellion " . The Proclamation also encouraged subjects throughout the Empire , including those in Great Britain , to report anyone carrying on " traitorous correspondence " with the rebels so that they could be punished . The Second Continental Congress issued a response to the Proclamation on December 6 , saying that while they had always been loyal to the king , the British Parliament never had any legitimate claim to authority over them , because the colonies were not democratically represented . However , the Congress never formally asked the Parliament or Crown for the right of actual representation . Congress argued that it was their duty to continue resisting Parliament ' s violations of the British Constitution , and that they would retaliate if any supporters in Great Britain were punished for " favouring , aiding , or abetting the cause of American liberty " . Congress maintained that they still hoped to avoid the " calamities " of a " civil war " . The Proclamation was written before Colonial Secretary Lord Dartmouth had been given a copy of the Olive Branch Petition from the Continental Congress . Because the king refused to receive the petition , the Proclamation effectively served as an answer to the petition . On October 27 , 1775 , King George expanded on the Proclamation in his Speech from the Throne at the opening of Parliament . The King insisted that rebellion was being fomented by a " desperate conspiracy " of leaders whose claims of allegiance to him were insincere ; what the rebels really wanted , he said , was to create an " independent Empire " . The king indicated that he intended to deal with the crisis with armed force , and was even considering " friendly offers of foreign assistance " to suppress the rebellion . A pro - American minority in Parliament warned that the government was driving the colonists towards independence , something that many colonial leaders had insisted they did not desire . The Proclamation and the Speech from the Throne undermined moderates in the Continental Congress like John Dickinson , who had been arguing that the king would find a way to resolve the dispute between the colonies and Parliament . When it became clear that the king was not inclined to act as a conciliator , colonial attachment to the Empire was weakened , and a movement towards declaring independence became a reality , culminating in the United States Declaration of Independence less than a year later .

Alban C . Stimers Alban Crocker Stimers ( June 5 , 1827 – June 3 , 1876 ) was a Chief Engineer with the United States Navy . He assisted with the design of the Navy ' s first ironclad , the , and later with the design of the " Passaic " - class monitors . His later career was marred by the scandal which enveloped the " Casco " - class monitors after they were found to be unseaworthy . Career . Stimers was born in New York in 1827 . He entered the Navy as a Third Assistant Engineer in January 1849 and became a Chief Engineer in July 1858 . He served in the steam frigate " Roanoke " during the early months of the Civil War and later in 1861 was assigned to work with John Ericsson on the construction of the ironclad turret ship " Monitor " . Though not formally a member of " Monitor " ' s complement , Stimers took part in her difficult voyage from New York to Hampton Roads , Virginia , and served on board during her historic battle with the Confederate ironclad on 9 March 1862 . Much of the success of these two operations was due to his inspired work , and Chief Engineer Stimers continued an intimate association with the Navy ' s ironclad shipbuilding program for much of the rest of the Civil War . In 1862 - 63 , Stimers again worked with Ericsson during the building of the next class of monitor - type ironclads , the " Passaic " class .

After the " Casco " class debacle , Stimers returned to the seagoing Navy . At the beginning of 1865 , he was Chief Engineer of the steam frigate " Wabash " . He resigned from the Navy in August 1865 , and became a consultant . He died of smallpox on June 3 , 1867 , survived by his wife and five children .
