Today in History The first major wagon train destined for the Pacific Northwest left Elm Grove, Missouri with 1,000 pioneers in 1843 following the Oregon Trail. Congress eliminated the half dime coin in 1866 replacing it with the nickel. President Andrew Johnson was acquitted in his impeachment trial by one vote in 1868. Chaim Weizman was elected the first President of Israel in 1948. Mao announced the start of what became known as the Cultural Revolution in China in 1966-lasting ten years, it marked a return to strict Communism and attempted to root out vestiges of capitalism. Surgeon General C Everett Koop reported in 1988 that the addictive properties of nicotine rivalled those of heroin and cocaine. And in 1991, Queen Elizabeth II addressed a joint session of Congress marking the first time a British monarch had done so.
