in the 19th century the "monitoring power" was the Papal States OR any neutral power;today the "monitoring power" is the Swiss Republic and/or the UN.

EVERY single person on the "kill lists" was either an enrolled member of the 5th KS Volunteers, a "jayhawker" or a member of the "Free State Militia"; ALL were WAR CRIMINALS;ALL had committed crimes against civilians in MO.
face it N-S, you are trying to defend a bunch of SCUM & WAR CRIMINALS, who were no better than the WORST of Hitler's crowd.
the ONLY thing i regret about the cavalry raid on Lawrence was that COL Quantrell's forces didn't kill Doc Jennison (who was in MO that day raiding civilian farms) & COL Lane (who disguised himself as a woman to escape his JUST reward).

Including the women and children?
the most anti-southron, hatefilled, revisionists AGREE to that.

Washington (a Virginian-American), was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, so he had been President for 1796 minus 1789 = 7 years, (not just 4) in 1796, which is two decades after the DoI was signed.
If you're going to get technical, and throw up a smoke screen to distract from my point, get technical, but at least be accurate.
I say again, Fly Your State Flag, on Independence Day. Celebrate what the DoI stands for - STATE INDEPENDENCE. Legitimate Unity came much later, in 1788 (except for Rhode Island, which existed as a free and independent State, without war being declared on it (!) for a couple more years). Illegitimate Unity came in 1865, after the Southern States were forced to surrender under military occupation, and began having their Constitutions re-written at the points of bayonets. We have an involuntary, non-consensual Union, that was founded during that occupation.
So fly your State Flag on Independence Day, and Celebrate "Consent of the Governed".
By the way, a voluntary Union, is a more Perfect Union, and I wish Lincoln could have lived to preserve the principles which the Union Party Radicals ripped from the Constitution during their time of absolute power. I'll never bow down and worship them for what they did, nor would Washington have.
"Consent of the Governed", makes Governments legitimate.
Be accurate?
You're the one who indicated that there was no United States prior to 1796, and you're telling ME to be accurate?

Roughly, Walt. Roughly. The US really didn't get under way till roughly two decades after the DoI was signed. It was more than one decade, and I rounded up. Sue Me.
but
Fly your state flag on Independence day. That's what it's all about - State Independence.
And
Don't Forget
A Voluntary Union (with Consent of the Governed) Is a More Perfect Union.
You're too dumb to even know when to let it drop.
ARTICLE IThe Stile of this Confederacy shall be "The United States of America".
The Articles were adopted in 1781, five years after the D of I was signed, not twenty years.
"You're too dumb to even know when to let it drop."- Walt
What have you gotten yourself into now, Walt? You're desperately thrashing and spewing meaningless insults to go along with your irrelevant quotes.
Declaration of Independence:
"...as FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES, they have full power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which INDEPENDENT STATES may of right do..."
Fly your State Flag on Independence Day, and celebrate the days when there was "consent of the Governed", and State Independence in the "United States", which was referred to in the Declaration of Independence as such, - well before even the Articles of Confederation, Walt, - but the meaning of which absolutely escapes you.
A voluntary Union is a More Perfect Union.
i'd be curious as to the source of this nonsense you keep posting. even the most radical of the damnyankee apologists and revisionists state that the redlegs,jayhawkers & KS militia members were ALL military members (though they deny the same servicemember status to the CSA partisan rangers!).
even the pro-yankee book, THE DEVIL KNOWS HOW TO RIDE, does NOT dispute that the members of "the kill lists" & COL Quantrell's cavalry were ALL miltary servicemembers of their respective units. face it, N-S, you are AGAIN completely wrong!
for dixie,sw
Leslie also points out that Quantrill was born in Ohio. I'm surprised you would quote a book with as big a 'mistake' as that. Still, if he is right about the birth place then he might also be right about the Lawrence massacre. Which would make you wrong...again.
i personally know of NO pro-union SCHOLAR and/or HISTORIAN that would dispute that members of the redlegs,jawhawkers & KS militia were all SERVICEMEMBERS, even while many of them state that our partisan rangers were "outlaws,desperdoes and soul-less killers" (as my mother says, "it just depends on which side you are on"), to whom they would deny the same protected status as military members. not even ONE!
for TRUTH & dixie LIBERTY,sw
for dixie, your obediant servant,sw
thankfully that was STOPPED!
