As I surf the web looking for information and do research I came across this blog. It has a bit of info on the K.G.C., Albert Pike, and the Republic of Texas. If you follow the logic the K.G.C. might have gotten more influence than we are lead to believe.

Laws of Silence: Lone Star Republics

Read and enjoy.

FANTASTIC "Read"! I think it ALL started with Vice-President Aaron Burr (under President Thomas Jefferson) wanting a GOLDEN EMPIRE for himself; He wanted to be EMPEROR! "Google" Burr-Jefferson "conflict", in those "Cloudy Mist of Times"...
 

Rebel what amazes me is how the name of Thomas Jefferson keeps coming up in so many places. So many named their children after him. It seems that most of them more than succeeded in life. Case in point Thomas Jefferson Rusk. I can not ever remember that someone was named after Aaron Burr.

Yes I have read about Burr wanting to be the emperor of North America or at least part of it. It sounds like after he was arrested his political career was over. I think it was a weak plan. Maybe Aaron Burr wasn't the sharpest pencil in the box or he could have just been plain stupid. And you can't fix stupid.

Even though I am in the deep South I sit drinking a cup of Hazelnut coffee not Sweet Tea. Would rather be drinking a mint julep but it seems to late in the evening for one. With the temp out side at 71 degrees it almost seems cold compared to what we have had and maybe a hot toddy would be better. It was very early on in our nations history that we know that we needed a source of cheap labor. At the time slavery seems to be the only answer and most of the other super powers of the day were using slave labor so the U.S. was just following in line.

Up until the middle of the industrial revolution did labor have to organize as machinery was making inroads in to the labor force. As it has today with robot technology labor is becoming a thing of the past. In October of 1887 Waltham Watch Factory employed 2,471 people. In 1932 the same plant employed just half that many people as the employees voted to take a big pay cut to keep from being layed off do to the depression. Putting out as many watches as they did in 1890.

With the advent of steam and gasoline engines the need for farm labor was cut. Many of the poor sons of slaves went to the Northern cities to work in the assemble lines of the Auto Makers and the Packing plants of the Midwest. Kansas City, Omaha, Sioux City, Austin,Minnesota, Chicago, Illinois, and Minneapolis and Detroit ( Dearborn). They got there very first taste of cold weather and snow. Some made their homes there some returned back to the places that were more temperate.

Now with robots constructing cars there is no need for cheap labor the labor unions have priced themselves out of the marketplace. Machine operators have a B.S. degree in Computer science or industrial technology. Even in Meat Packing New methods and machines make labor less a expense and jobs there have decreased. That with the cheap overseas labor for the rest of the cheap goods make for a poor jobs market today.

A far cry from the time of the early 1820's when you would need a 75 people to work a 300 acre plantation. In 1930 my grandfather worked 180 acre farm 150 acres were tillable with himself and two young sons and two teams of horses.

SD, look at the Lykes Brothers- they married into a CSA Florida "cow cavalry" family that served at Fort Meade and built a business empire in Florida and Texas after the War of Northern Aggression.
