Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Dear list members, In exploring the correspondances of Benjamin Franklin and also time lines of popular history webs it becomes apparent that the US was born at a time of great turmoil. The Revolutionary War raged from 1775 to 1783. It began on 18 April 1775, when Massachussetts Governor,General Gage, " issued 700 British soldiers to Concord to destroy the colonists' weapons depot " . That night, Paul Revere and William Dawes were sent from Boston to warn colonists. Revere reached Lexington about midnight and warned Samuel Adams and John Hancock who were hiding out. On 11 April 1783, eight years from the start, the US Congress officially declared an end to the Revolutionary War. In the midst of this epic struggle, the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union were conceived by the political leaders of the then independent colonies or states in 1777. A " united, sovereign and national state " was finally born on February 2, 1781 in Annapolis, Maryland, when the Governor of Maryland, Thomas Sim Lee, affixed his signature to the document approving the formal ratification of the agreement. Interestingly, it becomes apparent in the letters of Benjamin Franklin to Governor Lee in December 1780 and in early February 1781, that he was mainly concerned with their united goal to successfully prosecute the war and rid the country of the English. Perhaps this sense of common destinty was what motivated the Marylanders to sign with such seal and to find the hour that signalled such a glorious destiny. Certainly, the belated decision of Maryland to approve the Articles was a signal moment, which marked the birth of the nation at a time of conflict. Historians have remarked, even if the states, under the leadership of George Washington, were losing some battles, the war allowed the independent States to continue to operate and provide more armaments to the American militia who despite the losses pressed on in the independence struggle. In the background was the political work to organise the new United States as the American leaders actively prosecuted - and ultimately won - the war. The efforts to form the union and to win the war went hand in hand. One could not have gone without the other. Best regards, C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Dear Cosmologer, Thank you for this post about the nature of the events in this time period. I believe that the very name of the Feb 2, 1881 event summarizes perfectly, " Articles of Confederation and PERPETUAL UNION, " the finality of all previous supportive efforts and the birth of the nation. As you and the good professor have addressed very recently to Ron Day's post, the chart must match the entity, previous significant events and trends, and most importantly hold true for future predictions for confirmation. Only the latter remains from what we have tested and analyzed so far. Your relentless quest may be at an end in a few months.
