2502: About the Confederation.... from Lincoln County Watch
By Anna Von Reitz
The Articles of Confederation were in place from 1781 to 1860 and functioned just fine.
The States of America formed under
the Articles of Confederation created a "Confederation" that functioned
in commercial venues and established their own businesses doing business
as, for example, The State of New York. These were commercial
enterprises called "confederated states". Today, we would call them
subsidiaries or maybe franchises.
Anyway, the were NOT overcome or
undermined by the Constitutions, much less "replaced" by the
Constitutions which is the drivel we were taught when I was in school.
What ended the States of America
confederation was the schism we all know about, the Secession of the
Southern Members of that Confederation, however, even that is grossly
misrepresented by our "educational" system, because we are taught that
the key issue that drove the split was slavery.
As the Southern States records
prove, the actual cause of the problem was Parliament's investment in
Egyptian Cotton Plantations.
The British were developing
industrialized textile factories to produce among other things, cotton
cloth. They were importing most of their cotton from the colonies and as
their own industrial capacity and demand for their products increased,
the demand for cotton and the price that the Southern Plantation owners
could charge for their cotton also increased, causing a situation like a
mini-OPEC cartel in the cotton market.
To get themselves out of this bind,
the Brits invested in starting new cotton plantations, most notably in
Egypt, but also in India, and running competition with the American
growers.
This in turn inspired Northern
States of States to get into the market for cloth production, as in this
country they could undersell British cotton cloth because they were
already here and didn't have to ship cotton all the way to Britain and
then ship the cloth all the way back.
When the Egyptian cotton crops
failed for a series of years in a row, the American producers saw their
chance to increase their prices again, but by that time, the Northern
industrialists that were depending on cheap Southern cotton prices for
their profit margins had an ax to grind, too, so they joined with the
Brits against the Southern Plantation cotton producers, and cynically
used the growing Abolitionist movement as the excuse for their mercenary
concerns.
When the Southern States of States
who were members of the original Confederation complained and tried to
offer a compromise that would have continued to sell cheap cotton to the
Northern States of States and upped the price to the British to make up
the difference, British sympathizers refused, which then cast the
Northern States of States in the light of traitors to their own country.
By the time the schism actually
occurred, the Southern States of States were further inflamed by
Northern claims that they couldn't Secede from the Confederation,
because it had proposed to be a "perpetual Union"-- to which the South
replied that it was supposed to be a union of mutual interest, in which
the States of States supported each other in issues of commercial
interest, not a union in which some members benefited themselves at the
expense of other members without willingness to compromise.
So from all sides considered, there
were four major bones to pick --- (1) Cotton, cotton, and cotton; (2)
British Sympathizers in the North; (3) the right to secede and leave
behind business relationships that hadn't lived up to their promises;
(4) slavery ---- and the least of these, on both sides, was slavery.
Time has proven that the Southern
States of States were legally and lawfully correct in their position,
just as Jefferson Davis said, and indeed, proved that they were, but,
they were no match for the devious economic powers from Europe backing
their Northern brethren, and the Northern States of States though greedy
enough, were no match, either.
In the final analysis, the Pontiffs
of the Holy Roman Empire and the British Monarchs used this in-house
pissing match as an excuse to divide and conquer the members of the
original American Confederation. At the end of the hostilities, the
Southern States of States were ruinated and the Northern States of
States were bankrupt, leaving the Pope and the British Monarchs free to
play their self-interested commercial and banking games.
The Europeans and their American
cronies killed the one man with enough knowledge to thwart their plans,
demeaned and ridiculed Andrew Johnson, who effectively prevented the
worst of the predatory actions they intended to unleash here ---- and
skated on.
They allowed those Americans in
Congress who were basically loyal to this country to set up some plans
for reconstructing the States of America confederation, but at the end
of the day, they substituted British Territorial "States of States" for
the original American States of States as a "temporary emergency
measure" while our government was in "abeyance".
To the average American the only
visible change is that the new British Territorial organizations were
called by names styled like this: the State of Oregon, the State of
Michigan, the State of Florida..... and the original American
counterparts operated under names styled like this: The States of
Oregon, The State of Michigan, The State of Florida.
The only visible difference, in
other words, was the change from "The" to "the". Most people never knew
that any change occurred, and the public wasn't told, either.
And the Reconstruction lay dormant
all these years, still waiting to be done, because nobody told the
Americans that it still needed to be done. Those who knew were too busy
making money by siphoning off the value of American money, labor, and
natural resources. Those who didn't know, were simply out of luck.
The bulk of The Reconstruction Acts
are still standing, fully intact. The Confederation of the States of
America has never been restored, and the actual States and People
competent to do the work of the Reconstruction were deliberately
mischaracterized so as to obstruct any efforts on their part to get the
job done.
Thanks to decades of hard work by
many, many Americans, all of this has been delved out and finally and
fully understood, so that we have been able to overcome the
self-interested obstruction of our erstwhile Trustees, to correct the
"presumed" change of our political status to that of British Territorial
subjects, and to call the actual States of the Union to assemble and
take care of business --- including the Reconstruction.
