What It All Really Means

I have been preaching that since forever. They are more important than the constitution because they had to convince a majority of people to switch from loyalist to anarchist. The author left out two people responsible even more than Madison in writing these documents. John Jay and Alexander Hamilton wrote more of the essays than Madison with Hamilton actually being enough of a big government believer to sway some people. Ask the average college graduate what these papers even are and you will get a blank stare from 95% of them. This is one of the systemic education problems concering revisionist history in our government/union schools. For the few on this site that do not know, here is a microcosm of them. They are 85 opinion editorials printed under aliases in all the newspapers of record that would print them. The authors had the threat of death by hanging if discovered for committing treason. Each editorial touches on a different subject and each gives an arguement using the history of world governance as their standards. Anyone who reads these very short pieces will have a very hard time debating the oppositions position. These convinced the colonies to meet in Philadelphia for the first continental congress and eventually to war for independence. Just for the record, God is mentioned in almost every one. And tangent point #2 is the abolition of slavery was penned into the first fraft of the Declaration of Independence by Jefferson, but Because the colonies had to have S. Carolina and Georgia as the Connecting colonies and Spanish Florida, preventing the British to use those ports to offload troops and sqeeze the small army of Washingtons in short order. 11 colonies voted for abolition but had to postpone it for the above reasons. Just once I would like to hear this in Black history month. Revisionist history is the reason we are here now in this mess.
