📜 May 14: On This Day in History |  | The house always wins |  Image: KERA News | Each of the following events happened on May 14. Your challenge is to put them in the order in which they occurred by year, earliest to latest. Answers at the bottom! - A) The US Supreme Court rules that the federal government can’t prevent states from authorizing sports gambling. The decision becomes the basis for America’s legal sports betting industry.
- B) The first members of the US Camel Corps arrive in Texas by boat from the Middle East, 34 dromedaries in all. America’s military has high hopes for their use in the desert Southwest—but the 10-year experiment ultimately ends in abject failure.
- C) Some 100 English colonists arrive along the east bank of Virginia’s James River to found Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in North America.
- D) Skylab, America’s first space station, is successfully launched into an orbit around the Earth. A trio of US astronauts soon make a rendezvous with Skylab for the inaugural 28-day stay aboard the space station.
Hint: Lt. David Porter, who acquired the camels, was sent on a 2nd trip to acquire even more camels |
