How America Tries to Throw Out The Royals

Amendment XIII Passed by Congress May 1, 1810 - Ratified December 9, 1812.
"If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive, or retain any title of nobility or honour, or shall without the consent of Congress, accept and retain any present, pension, office, or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king, prince, or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the united States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them."

(Considerable controversy surrounds this Amendment - The official position of the Federal Government is that it was never ratified - but - in the past few months there is more than ample evidence that shows the Amendment was properly ratified on December 9, 1812, and if not then, certainly no later than March 10, 1819.

This Amendment was established to prohibit members of the BAR Association from participating in government offices.

No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been encreased during such time: and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office. - Article I, Section 6, Paragraph 2 - Constitution for the United States of America  

This provision was established to maintain the clear dividing line that had been drawn between the three branches of the government. Violation of this provision create a direct conflict of interest because members of the BAR would be officers of the court in the Judiciary branch and members of the legislature in the Legislative branch.

This Amendment was for the specific purpose of banning participation in government operations by attorneys and bankers who claimed the Title of Nobility of "Esquire." These people had joined the International Bar Association or the International Bankers Association and owed their allegiance to the King of England. Banning Titles of Nobility began in the Articles of Confederation, continued in two places in the Constitution, and finally was added as an Amendment to the Constitution -- an Amendment that was needed as the other bans had no teeth in them to punish those persons who chose to ignore the Constitutional Law. < READ MORE >

New France: Starting at the Saint Lawrence River, explored by by Jacques Cartier in 1534, to the cession of New France to Spain and Britain in 1763. At its peak in 1712 (before the Treaty of Utrecht), the territory of New France extended from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains and from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico. The territory was then divided in five colonies, each with its own administration: Canada, Acadia, Hudson Bay, Newfoundland (Plaisance), and Louisiana. The Treaty of Utrecht resulted in the relinquishing of French claims to mainland Acadia, the Hudson Bay and Newfoundland colonies, and the establishment of the colony of Île Royale (Cape Breton Island) as the successor to Acadia.
France ceded the rest of New France to Great Britain and Spain at the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Seven Years War (the French and Indian War). Britain received all lands east of the Mississippi River, including Canada, Acadia, and parts of Louisiana, while Spain received the territory to the west – the larger portion of Louisiana. Spain returned its portion of Louisiana to France in 1800, but the French sold it to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, permanently ending French colonial efforts on the North American mainland.

Norman B. Leventhal Map Center: Land Ownership Maps

The Leventhal Map Center at the Boston Public Library has over 100,000 maps. Its collection brings together 122 maps that show land ownership in Boston, Pennsylvania. The maps of Boston are a real treat, with the original Shawmut peninsula illustrated in great detail on maps such as, "Plan of Boston showing existing ways and owners on December 25, 1645." A plethora of maps depicting counties in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and other states in New England from the mid and late 19th centuries are also great attributes of this collection.

1630 HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF MEDFORD, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, FROM ITS FIRST SETTLEMENT, IN 1630

Elihu Yale Born in Massachusetts near Boston then taken to London at the age of three, educated there, and never returned to America. In 1671 Yale began working for The East India Company and arrived the following year in Madras. From a fairly low-ranking position he worked his way up by 1687 to become governor of Fort Saint George, The East India Company's installation at Madras. He was eventually removed on the account of self-aggrandisement at company expense, but Elihu Yale still returned with a sizable fortune to England. In London he entered the diamond trade.

DIRECTOR of the the British East India Company, eventually becoming governor of Fort Saint George, Madras, in 1687. He amassed a great fortune from trade and returned to England in 1699. Yale made his first gift (a donation of 32 books) to the institution in 1713, when it was known as the Collegiate School at Saybrook. Later, in 1718, Cotton Mather wrote to Yale, hinting broadly that the Saybrook school—which had recently moved to New Haven—could be renamed in Yale's honour in gratitude for another sizable gift.
Yale responded with a gift of more books, a portrait of George I, and a variety of textiles from The East Indies. The gifts were sold in Boston for some £800, and the money was used to construct a building called Yale College in New Haven. After subsequent bequests, Cotton Mather suggested the school be named Yale College, in 1718. By its charter of 1745, the entire institution was named Yale University. Yale was buried at Wrexham in North Wales. On April 5, 1999, the university recognised the 350th anniversary of his birthday.

Maryland and later Virginia
We left Virginia in 1624. Virginia grew steadily under King Charles the First. In 1632 he granted the area north of the Potomac River to his friend, Lord Baltimore, who was a Roman Catholic. This proprietary colony was named Maryland after Lord Baltimore's wife, and it became a haven for English Catholics who were persecuted even more than the Puritans in England. By 1660, the tidewater region of Chesapeake Bay was largely settled with tobacco farms and plantations.
With the English Civil War and Puritan rule thereafter, it was the turn of the Anglican royalists to escape to the new world. Many young nobles emigrated to Virginia and founded upper class families like the Washingtons, the Randolphs, the Madisons, and the Lees. However most Virginians were small farmers. They sought land further and further west, in the piedmont region at the base of the Appalachian Mountains. By 1700 they reached the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah Valley.

• Church Ownership of Virginia Land Records
• Summary of the English Empire - The first successful British colony was Jamestown, Virginia, founded 1607
• Early development of Virginia - King James the First succeeded Elizabeth in 1603. He chartered two companies, one in London and one in Plymouth, to colonize Virginia.

The Virginia Company of London sent Settlers.

The English settlers built the James Fort as a secure place to live. A settler named John Rolfe married Pocahontas, the daughter of the Algonquian Indians Chief. Rolfe also discovered that tobacco from the West Indies was an ideal crop for Virginia. Increasing amounts of this cash crop were sold to England, establishing the colony as a commercial enterprise. The London Company supported the colony by giving grants of land to wealthy Englishmen, who would transport at least 250 workers to Virginia. Thus new plantations grew up along the rivers and coasts, each with its own access to the sea.
SLAVERY: Many of these workers were indentured servants who became free to obtain their own land after five to seven years of labor.

In JULY 1619, the Virginia colony elected the first representative assembly in America, the House of Burgesses was held in Jamestown, the first such assembly in the Americas.
The House of Burgesses was empowered to enact legislation for the colony, but its actions were subject to veto by the governor, council, and ultimately by the directors in London.

• The governor, who was appointed to his position by the company officials in London
• The governor's council, six prominent citizens selected by the governor
• The burgesses (representatives) from various locales, initially the larger plantations and later in Virginia history from the counties.

Despite this growth, an Indian massacre in 1622 killed one third of the settlers. Due to this disaster, the English Crown dissolved the London Company, and the King ruled Virginia directly as a crown colony, though the House of Burgesses was retained.

In 1624, Virginia became a royal colony.

The House of Burgesses continued to meet, but its influence became severely restricted. Despite limitations on its actions, the assembly listed within its later ranks such notables as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry, and would assume a major leadership role in the movement toward independence.

Henry Soane (1622-1661) was a Virginia politician and landowner. He served in the House of Burgesses 1652–55, 1658, and 1660 - 61, and was its Speaker in 1661.^[1]He is also the great-great grandfather of Thomas Jefferson.Henry Soane, bapt. 17 Nov. 1622, Brighton, Sussex, England – d. ca. 1661/2, James City Co. Va.; m. ca. 1642/3, Lewes, Sussex. He emigrated to Virginia around 1651, settling in James City County along the Chickahominy River.

Henry Soane. Given the connections between Carewe and Soame, and between them and Crane, it seems reasonable to suggest that Henry Soane was of the Soame family aforementioned.

"The founder of this family in Virgina was Col. Henry Soane. His English origin is unknown but a family of that name was long settled in the county of Suffolk. The year of Col. Henry Soane's arrival in Va. is not known but on 11-31-1651 he was granted 297 acres in James City Co. on the east side of the Chickahominy River known as 'Hoggs land' for importing Henry Soane Sr., Henry Soane Jr.; Judith Soane Sr.; Judith Soane Jr.; and Elizabeth Soane to the colony.

"We assure you, Gentlemen, and all our countrymen, that we are a people whose hearts overflow with love and duty to our lawful sovereign George III. whose illustrious house, for several successive reigns, have been the guardians of civil and religious rights and liberties of his subjects, as settled at the glorious Revolution; that we are willing to risk our lives in the service of his Majesty, for the support of the Protestant religion, and the rights and liberties of his subjects, as they have been established by compact, law, and ancient charters. We are heartily grieved at the differences which now subsist between the parent state and the colonies, and most ardently wish to see harmony restored, on an equitable basis, and by the most lenient measures that can be devised by the heart of men."

CAMPBELL FAMILY. 25
"At a meeting of the British Parliament, on the 20th day of January, 1775, Lord Dartmouth, Sec- CAMPBELL FAMILY. 25 retary of State for the Colonies, laid before the House of Peers all the papers relative to the American Colonies. As soon as the papers were read, William Pitt, the undying friend of the American Colonies, arose and moved that an ad- dress be presented to the King, requesting him to direct General Gage to move His Majesty's forces from tbe town of Poston. He said : 'America could not be reconciled, she ought not to be reconciled to this country, till the troops of Britain are removed from the continent. Eesistance to your acts was necessary, and therefore just; and your vain decla- ration of the omnipotence of Parliament, and your imperious doctrines of the necessity of submission, will be equally impotent to convince or enslave America. You may, no doubt, destroy their cities ; you may cut them off from the superfluities, per- haps the conveniences of life ; but, my Lords, they will still despise your power, for they have yet re- maining their woods and their liberty.' He says that the spirit that now animates America was the same that led to the Revolution in England, and that the friends of liberty on both sides of the Atlantic had but one common cause. *In this great cause,' he continued, 'they are immovably allied; it is the alliance of God and Natui-e; "im- mutable, eternal, fixed as the firmament of heaven." ' His Lordship admitted the right of Parliament to control the complicated machinery of commerce and navigation, but denied its authority over the property of the people of the Colonies ; 'property is private, individual, absolute, the touch of another annihilates it.' He besought the House to rest upon that distinction, their principles of taxation, and to confine tlie exercise of parliamentary author- ity to the regulation of commerce. Of the Conti- nental Congress the noble Earl spoke in a strain of the highest eulogy. 'History, my Lords,' he said, Tias been my favorite study, and in the celebrated writings of antiquity I have often admired the patriotism of Greece and Rome; but, my Lords, I must declare and avow that in the master states of 5 HISTORICAL SKETCHES. the world, I know not the people or the Senate, who in such a complication of difficult circum- stances can stand in preference to the delegates of America assembled in General Congress at Phil- adelphia. I trust it is obvious to your Lordships, that all attempts to impose servitude upon such men, to establish despotism over such a mighty Continental nation, must be in vain, must be futile.' The speaker went on to say that min- isterial maneuvers would never be able to resist such a nation as that of America, that the hour of danger was not to be averted by tricks of office, that matters had gone so far that even repeal- ing the obnoxious Acts would not restore the lost confidence of America, unless his Majesty's armed force was withdrawn from the continent. The noble Lord pledged himself, that they would one day find themselves compelled to undo all their oppressive acts. He advised them, therefore, to enter at once into that course of their own ac- cord, which they must be ultimately forced to adopt. 'To conclude, my Lords,' he said, 'if the ministers persevere in misadvising and mislead- ing the King, I will not say that they can alienate the alTections of his subjects from the Crown; but I will affirm, they will make the Crown not worth his wearing, I will not say that the King is be- trayed, but I will pronounce that the kingdom is undone.' The motion of Lord Chatham was re- jected by a large majority, and the British Min- istry declared their purpose never to abandon a single right until the American Colonies were whipped into obedience.

The same day, January 20, 1775, that William Pitt delivered the preceding address m the House of Lords, the backwoodsmen of Fincastle County, Virginia, met (pursuant to the resolves of the Continental Congress), at the Lead Mines, their county seat, and took
action in the premises; of which the following is a correct account

" In obedience to the resolves of the Continental Congress, a meeting of the Freeholders of Fincastle Couuty, in Virginia, was held on the 20th day of January, 1775, who, after approving of the association framed by that august body in be half of all the Colonies, and subscribing thereto, proceeded to the election of a Committee, to see the same carried punctually into execution, and the following gentlemen were nominated : the Kev. Charles Cummings, Colonel ^Villiam Preston, Colonel William Christian, Captain Stephen Trigg, Major Arthur Campbell, Major William Ingles, Captain Walter Crockett, Captian John Montgomery, Captain James McGavock, Captain William Campbell, Captain Thomas Madison, Captain Daniel Smith, Captain William Russell, Captain Evan Shelby and Lieutenant William Edmoudson.

The Jesuits were going to destroy America as determined by the sinister Councils at Vienna, Verona, and Chieri, and it was during the Presidency of Andrew Jackson that they began to apply their treachery in full force. These Jesuits moved among the American people and looked just like Americans. They were, in fact, American citizens, but their loyalty was to the pope of Rome. Their purposes were those of the papacy. These people were traitors and a serious threat to the continued existence of the United States.

George Washington:
George Washington was born at Pope's Creek, Westmoreland County, Virginia. He was of British descent, his great-grandfather, John Washington, having migrated from Sulgrave Manor, Northamptonshire, in 1657. Largely self-taught, he began his career as a land surveyor, but inheriting the Mount Vernon estate from his brother Lawrence, Washington settled down as a country gentleman.
An experienced soldier, he had fought in campaigns against the French during the French and Indian War. He was elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses 1759 and was a leader of the Virginia militia, gaining valuable exposure to wilderness fighting. As a strong opponent of the British government's policy, he sat in the Continental Congresses of 1774 and 1775, and on the outbreak of the American Revolution was chosen commander in chief of the Continental army. After many setbacks, he accepted the surrender of British General Cornwallis at Yorktown 1781.
In 1758 Washington resigned command of the Virginia troops and married a rich widow, Martha Custis. The union of their plantations made Washington one of the wealthiest men in his state. He entertained lavishly, and thus came into contact with notable men from all over the British colonies in America. He was elected in 1759 to the Virginia House of Burgesses, and re-elected. John Adams proposed Washington as commander-in-chief of the colonial armies and on 15 June 1775 Washington took over the command.

After the war Washington retired to his Virginia estate, Mount Vernon, but in 1787 he re-entered politics as president of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, and was elected US President 1789. He attempted to draw his ministers from all factions, but his aristocratic outlook and acceptance of the fiscal policy championed by Alexander Hamilton (BORN IN ST. CROIX, U.S.V.I) ADVOCATE OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A NATIONAL BANK alienated his secretary of state, Thomas Jefferson, who resigned 1793, thus creating the two-party system.

Alexander Hamilton (BORN ON NEVIS but RAISED ON ST. CROIX, U.S.V.I)
USVI is maintained as a "free port" in a separate customs zone. Dutch, French, English, Knights of Malta, Spain, Danish West Indian Company owned St. Croix. The U.S. The purchase by the U.S. occurred in 1917.

Friedensthal in St Croix 1777
The Dutch, along with some French Protestant refugees from the Catholic-dominated portion of St. Christopher (St. Kitts) settled in the harbor area of Bassin, now the present day Christiansted, while the English located themselves on the western part of the island in what is now Frederiksted. Philippe de Lonvilliers de Poincy, a strongman official of the Knights of Malta, dispatched 160 of his best troops and succeeded in deceiving the Spanish garrison to capitulate and sail for San Juan. He then promptly sent three hundred planters from St. Christopher to establish, the now renamed, St. Croix. Knights of Malta is the Roman Catholic military arm of the Vatican based in Rome, Italy and the world's oldest order of chivalry. The Sovereign Military Order of Malta is widely considered a sovereign subject of international law.

Alexander Hamilton
St. Croix was devastated by a major hurricane which destroyed or damaged some 500 buildings in 1772 and Alexander wrote a long and vivid letter to his father on St. Vincent island describing the horror.  The letter was published in the Royal Danish-American Gazette, and so impressed friends and others that they scraped together enough money to send him on his way to school in the British Colonies in North America. 

Letter Written By Alexander Hamilton To His Father After The St. Croix Hurricane of 1772

Royal Danish American Gazette/p>

Honored Sir. I take up my pen just to give you an imperfect account of the most dreadful hurricane that memory or any records whatever can trace, which hap?pened here on the 31st ultimo at night. 

It began about dusk, at North, and raged very violently till ten o'clock.  Then ensued a sudden and unexpected interval, which lasted about an hour.  Meanwhile, the wind was shifting round to the South West point, from whence it returned with redoubled fury and continued so till near three o'clock in the morning.  Good God! what horror and destruction - it's impossible for me to describe - or you to form any idea of it.  It seemed as if a total dissolution of nature was taking place.  The roaring of the sea and wind-fiery meteors flying about in the air - the prodigious glare of almost perpetual lightning - the crash of the falling houses - and the ear piercing shrieks of the distressed, were sufficient to strike astonishment into Angels.  A great part of the buildings throughout the Island are leveled to the ground - almost all the rest was very shattered - several persons killed and numbers utterly ruined - whole families running about the streets unknowing where to find a place of shelter - the sick exposed to the keenness of water and air - without a bed to lie upon - or a dry covering to their bodies - our harbour is entirely bare. In a word, misery in all its most hideous shapes spread over the whole face of the country - a strong smell of gunpowder added some what to the terrors of the night; and it was observed that the rain was surprisingly salt.  Indeed, the water is so brackish and full of sulphur that there is hardly any drinking it.

My reflections and feelings on this frightful and melancholy occasion are set forth in following self-discourse. 

Where now OH! Vile worm, is all thy boasted fortitude and sufficiency? - why dost thou tremble and stand aghast? how humble - how helpless - how contemptible you now appear.  And for why? the jarring of the elements - the discord of clouds?  Oh, impotent presumptuous fool!  How darest thou offend that omnipotence, whose nod alone were sufficient to quell the destruction that hovers over thee, or crush thee into atoms?  See thy wretched helpless state and learn to know thyself . . .

Hark! ruin and confusion on every side. - 'Tis thy turn next: but one short moment - even now - Oh Lord help - Jesus be merciful! 

Thus did I reflect, and thus at every gust of the wind did I conclude. - till it pleased the Almighty to allay it. 

I am afraid, sir, you will think this description more the effort of imagination than a true picture of realities. But I can affirm with the greatest truth, that there is not a single circumstance touched upon which I have not absolutely been an eyewitness to.

Washington's Presidency

As president, Washington alienated his secretary of state, Thomas Jefferson, who resigned in 1793, by accepting the fiscal policy hampioned by Alexander Hamilton and overseeing the payment of the foreign and domestic debt incurred by the new nation. He also shaped the powers of the presidency, assuming some implied powers not specified in the Constitution-among them, the power to create a national bank, and the introduction of an excise tax. Hamilton helped defeat the tax revolt of western farmers in 1794 CALLED THE Whiskey Rebellion
The Whiskey Rebellion demonstrated that the new national government had the willingness and ability to suppress violent resistance to its laws. The whiskey excise remained difficult to collect, however. The events contributed to the formation of political parties in the United States, a process already underway. The whiskey tax was repealed after Thomas Jefferson's Republican Party, which opposed Hamilton's Federalist Party, came to power in 1800. (tarring-and-feathering tax collectors)
