ON THIS DAY: In 705 Empress Wu Zetian abdicated the throne, restoring the Tang dynasty. In 1632 Galileo's Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems was published. In 1819, by the Adams–Onís Treaty, Spain sold Florida to the United States for five million US dollars.

In 1935 it became illegal for airplanes to fly over the White House. In 1959 Lee Petty won the first Daytona 500. In 1983 the notorious Broadway flop Moose Murders opened and closed on the same night at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre.
