Today virtually every child grows up learning that the earth orbits the sun. But four centuries ago, the idea of a heliocentric solar system was so controversial that the <em>Catholic Church classified it as a heresy, and warned the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei to abandon it.</em> The Google homepage pays homage today to Nicolaus Copernicus, the pioneering astronomer. Legend has it that Nicolaus Copernicus and the church were at odds over his development of the heliocentric theory, a principle that disputed the widely held belief that Earth was the center of the universe.

President Jhonson and Congress lived many moments of tension during the Reconstruction. President Johnson vetoes did not like the Congress and it became a permanent conflict between the legislative branch and the executive branch.

The Freedmen's Bureau of 1865 was established to help African American people and poor white men that lived in the South, after the end of the Civil War. So it is true that when President Johnson vetoed a law that would extend the Freedmen's Bureau, Congress reacted by overriding the veto and expanding the agency's powers.
