This may be too much for some, and too long for others, but I have to get it off of my chest none the less....
The K.G.C. via Franklin Pierce and Lewis Cass were picking and choosing who they wanted to perform specific jobs in a master scheme to project a slave labor economy in Nebraska and Kansas Territories in and about 1849. When Thomas Jefferson bought 828,000 acres from the French and doubled the size of the United States it was a power move. That was the biggest real estate deal of the century...(talk about "speculation!!!!"
). And it was a brokered deal! Pennies for an acre, that does sound a bit to good to be true doesn't it? 529,920,000 acres for 4 cents per acre = 15million although some of the payment was made by canceled debt they owed us $3,750,000. encompassed all or part of
15 present U.S. states and
two Canadian provinces. The land purchased contained all of present-day Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska; parts of Minnesota that were west of the Mississippi River; most of North Dakota; most of South Dakota; northeastern New Mexico; northern Texas; the portions of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado east of the Continental Divide; Louisiana west of the Mississippi River, including the city of New Orleans; and small portions of land that would eventually become part of the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Which brings me to some important facts I want to tell you about even though you may already know them others may not.
Napoleon Bonaparte History as it is written states that he had the hopes of
building an empire in North America. A slave revolt in Haiti and an impending war with Britain, however, led France to abandon these plans and sell the entire territory to the United States, which had originally intended only to
seek the purchase of New Orleans and its adjacent lands.
I find it highly likely that there was a little more to it than that, now that we have a partial who's who' in the K.G.C. list. I don't think Napoleon was just holding his suspenders up with that arm he kept tucked inside of his coat.
Ironically some Americans argued that it was unconstitutional, though opposition ultimately was not widespread, but it does cast a light on an opposition to the power structure that made the decision. Jefferson agreed that the U.S. Constitution did not contain provisions for acquiring territory, but decided to go ahead with the purchase anyway
The city of New Orleans controlled the Mississippi River due to its location. New Orleans was already important for shipping
agricultural goods to and from the parts of the United States west of the Appalachian Mountains. Pinckney's Treaty, signed with Spain on October 27, 1795, gave American merchants "right of deposit" in New Orleans, granting them use of the port to store goods for export. Americans used this right to transport products such as flour, tobacco, pork, bacon, lard, feathers, cider, butter, and cheese. The treaty also recognized American rights to navigate the entire Mississippi River, which had become
vital to the growing trade of the western territories. It was a good move to say the least...a teat that is still flowing and growing. Today the Port of New Orleans and the Port of South Louisiana combined forms one of the largest port systems in the world by bulk tonnage, and ranked top 10 in the world by annual volume handled.

The brokers...
Robert R. Livingston who made this memorable statement after sealing the deal with Napoleon for the Louisiana purchase:
We have lived long but this is the noblest work of our whole lives ... The United States take rank this day among the first powers of the world
Livingston was a Freemason, and in 1784, he was appointed the first Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of New York. He retained this title until 1801. The Grand Lodge's library in Manhattan bears his name. The Bible Livingston used to administer the oath of office to President Washington is owned by
St. John’s Lodge No. 1, and is still used today when the Grand Master is sworn in, and, by request, when a President of the United States is sworn in.
and his partner who helped broker the deal with Napoleon Bonaparte....
Mr. James Monroe of French and Scottish descent of the planter class (owning more than 20 slaves)Upon the death of his father in 1774, Monroe inherited his small plantation and slaves, officially joining the ruling class of the planter elite in what had become the slave society of Virginia. Born in Westmoreland County, Virginia his paternal great-grandfather Andrew Monroe emigrated to America from
Scotland in the mid-17th century. In 1650 he patented a large tract of land in Washington Parish, Westmoreland County, Virginia. . As president, he bought Florida from Spain and sought to ease partisan tensions, embarking on a tour of the country that was generally well received. With the ratification of the Treaty of 1818, under the successful diplomacy of his Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, the United States extended from the Atlantic to the Pacific, giving America harbor and fishing rights in the Pacific Northwest. The United States and Britain jointly occupied the Oregon Country. In addition to the acquisition of Florida, the landmark Treaty of 1819 secured the border of the United States along the 42nd Parallel to the Pacific Ocean and represented the
first determined attempt at creating an "American(K.G.C.?) global empire" (starting to see some idealism forming here)
. Although he owned numerous slave plantations including "Oak Hill" and a large amount of land and slaves and speculated regularly in property, he was rarely on-site to oversee the operations. Overseers treated his slaves harshly to force production, but the plantations barely broke even. Monroe incurred debts by his lavish and expensive lifestyle and often sold property (including slaves) to pay them off. Overseers moved or separated slave families from different Monroe plantations in accordance with production and maintenance needs of each satellite plantation. One of Monroe's slaves named Daniel often ran away from Monroe's plantation in Albermarle County, to visit other slaves or separated family members. Monroe commonly referred to Daniel as a "scoundrel" and described the "worthlessness" of Daniel as a runaway slave.
(Monroe sounds like a poster child for the K.G.C. to me) Monroe thought that foreign and Federalist elements had created the Quasi War of 1798–1800 and were behind efforts to prevent the election of Thomas Jefferson as president in 1800.
As governor he considered using the Virginia militia to force the outcome in favor of Jefferson. Federalists were likewise suspicious of Monroe, some seeing him as at best a French dupe and at worst a traitor(K.G.C.?)
Monroe sparked a constitutional controversy when, in 1817, he sent General Andrew Jackson to move against Spanish Florida to pursue hostile Seminole Indians and punish the Spanish for aiding them. News of Jackson's exploits ignited a congressional investigation of the 1st Seminole War. Dominated by Democratic-Republicans, the 15th Congress was generally expansionist and more likely to support the popular Jackson. Ulterior political agendas of many congressmen dismantled partisan and sectional coalitions, so that Jackson's opponents argued weakly and became easily discredited. After much debate, the House of Representatives voted down all resolutions that condemned Jackson in any way, thus implicitly endorsing Monroe's actions and leaving the issue surrounding the role of the executive with respect to war powers unanswered....
(K.G.C.!!!!!!!!!!)
Monroe made balanced Cabinet choices, naming a southerner,
John C. Calhoun, as Secretary of War, and a northerner,
John Quincy Adams, as Secretary of State.
Monroe appointed one Justice to the Supreme Court of the United States, Smith Thompson. He appointed 21 other federal judges, all to United States district courts, as no vacancies occurred on the one circuit court existing at the time.
As Secretary of State, Monroe dismissed Mordecai Manuel Noah in 1815 from his post as consul to Tunis because he was Jewish. Noah protested and gained letters from Adams, Jefferson, and Madison supporting church-state separation and tolerance for Jews. (that was a
Nazi kind of thing for him to do..well at that time it was just the "Of White Men For White Men" thing to do)
According to William Seale, President Monroe took several slaves with him to Washington to serve at the White House from 1817 to 1825. This was typical of other slaveholders, as Congress did not provide for domestic staff of the presidents at that time....imagine that...
When Monroe was Governor of Virginia in 1800, hundreds of slaves from Virginia planned to kidnap him, take Richmond, and negotiate for their freedom. Due to a storm on August 30, they were unable to attack. Monroe was part of the American Colonization Society formed in 1816, which members included Henry Clay and Andrew Jackson. They found common ground with some abolitionists in supporting colonization. They helped send several thousand freed slaves to the new colony of Liberia in Africa from 1820 to 1840. Slave owners like Monroe and Jackson wanted to prevent free blacks from encouraging slaves in the South to rebel.
The capital of Liberia was named Monrovia after President Monroe.
Now I ask you...Was Monroe K.G.C.? I believe he was, L.C. Baker
