Stated here,
On the night of December 17, 1773, the Sons of Liberty, some disguised as Native Americans, destroyed roughly 45 tons of tea by dumping 340 shipping containers into the Boston Harbor. The Sons of Liberty was a secret organization led by Samuel Adams that fought for colonial rights. Mostly, the group believed that the British government could not force Americans to pay taxes. The Sons urged other American colonists to support the resistance by using petitions, assemblies, propaganda, and even violence against British officials. More and more Americans were showing defiance against the British crown. Some became revolutionaries while the others remained loyal to the crown, known as loyalists.
Taking matters into their own hands, the revolutionaries formed the First Continental Congress in Philadelphia simply trying to make their concerns heard in Great Britain by sending letters to the king and organizing a boycott on British trade. The following year the Second Continental Congress went on to function as a national government at the outset of the Revolutionary War by raising armies, directing strategy, appointing diplomats, and writing treatises.
Most importantly, this congressional body was responsible for drafting and ratifying the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The Revolutionary War was fought for eight long years, finally coming to an end in 1783 when Great Britain and American representatives signed the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which formally recognized the United States of America as an independent nation. However, George Washington did not become President of the United States of America until 1789, so who ran the newly independent country for the six years following the end of the revolution?
Several men held the position: John Hanson (Nov 5 1781 – Nov 3 1782), Elias Boudinot (Nov 4 1782 – Nov 2 1783), Thomas Mifflin (Nov 3 1783 – Nov 29 1784), Richard Henry Lee (Nov 30 1784 – Nov 22 1785), John Hancock (Nov 23 1785 – Jun 5 1786), Nathaniel Gorham (Jun 6 1786 – Feb 1 1787), Arthur St. Clair (Feb 2 1787 – Jan 21 1788), Cyrus Griffin (Jan 22 1788 – Apr 30 1789), and Samuel Huntington (Sept 28 1779 – July 10 1781). Why do these men seem to be left out of history books, forgotten by the world?
Before the US Constitution that we know today was drafted and ratified, the newly independent America operated under the Articles of Confederation. The articles provided a structure for the people during the tumultuous time after the Revolutionary War,
but it ultimately did not give the federal government enough power.
Do you see what's going on here?
Who needed more power?
Did God create us Sovereign?
Who doesn't it like it that we have power and dominion and are Created in the Image of God? You know who.
Check out what the nefarious, power hungry sought to do about it. . .
The Articles were unsuccessful because it was structured around a weak central government and strong states
that retain,
“its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right…not…expressly delegated to the United States in Congress assembled.”
Well that's interesting isn't it?
Who has the power now? Did they run everything into the ground while enriching themselves and the establishment?
You decide! You ARE sovereign after all or have you given your consent away for far too long?
You should give this a listen, demonstrates what they have done time after time.
Thank you and all Warriors for being willing to Travel the road less travelled. Matthew 7:13-14
King James Version
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. #RepublicReborn
Are you one of the Silent Runners This is short give it a listen!
(Article II) Problems with this strategy immediately became apparent as each state viewed its own power and sovereignty as more important than the national government.
The states would not help financially support a central government.
Among other weaknesses Shays Rebellion finally proved the sheer uselessness of the federal government as a combined militia could not be formed by congress to put down the rebellion.
So whose power was threatened? Was it We the People who had the right to have government By the People and for the People or was it a controlling entity that Felt Threatened and wanted MORE power? You know who!
Finally, the Constitutional Convention was held on May 25, 1787, but delegates decided that changes to the Articles could not be made—an entirely new US Constitution needed to be created. It took delegates two years to draft the final version of the new Constitution. So, it was under this piece of legislation that George Washington became the first president of the United States of America in 1789.
The two offices are wildly different.
The President of the United States holds a significant amount of power compared to the President of Congress.
However, the President of Congress was still quite instrumental in the proceedings of United States Congressional hearings.
The office was also responsible for handling various state correspondences, with congress’s approval, and signing official congressional documents. However, unlike the president of the US under the Constitution the President of Congress had absolutely no executive power whatsoever—the position was more of a ceremonial role.
The people felt that political power should not be concentrated in one individual, making the position of President of Congress almost completely powerless.
Do you find that a good thing or a bad thing?
Should ONE person who can be controlled by entities have that much power or should it be a true governing body that actually represents the Will of the People OVER the will of an overbearing, over reaching ESTABLISHMENT?
While George Washington may certainly be the first president under the constitution, some historians agree that technically he was not the first president of the independent nation known as the United States of America.
Do you find that interesting?
Here are there names again,
- John Hanson (Nov 5 1781 – Nov 3 1782)
- Elias Boudinot (Nov 4 1782 – Nov 2 1783)
- Thomas Mifflin (Nov 3 1783 – Nov 29 1784)
- Richard Henry Lee (Nov 30 1784 – Nov 22 1785)
- John Hancock (Nov 23 1785 – Jun 5 1786)
- Nathaniel Gorham (Jun 6 1786 – Feb 1 1787)
- Arthur St. Clair (Feb 2 1787 – Jan 21 1788)
- Cyrus Griffin (Jan 22 1788 – Apr 30 1789)
- Samuel Huntington (Sept 28 1779 – July 10 1781).
Why do these men seem to be left out of history books, forgotten by the world? You know why!
Hanson held the position of president when the government started on the road to creating what would become the U.S. Post Office and the National Bank.
John Hanson’s grandfather paid his way to America from England by becoming an indentured servant in the mid-17th century. By Hanson’s time, the family had rose significantly in wealth, allowing Hanson to help fund the revolution both via general fundraising and often paying soldiers out of his own pocket.
The Boudinot presidency coincided with the official end to the American Revolutionary War. Boudinot presided over the country when the Treaty of Paris was signed in Paris on September 3, 1783. However, the Treaty of Paris did more than simply end the war; it required that the United States be recognized as an independent country and no longer a part of the British Empire. Besides being president, Boudinot was also noteworthy for his era for advocating for the rights of both Native Americans and black people, as well as directly sponsoring various youth among these groups so that they could receive an education.
Thomas Mifflin became the president for the term of 1783 until 1784. He oversaw the ratification of the Treaty of Paris during his presidency. Originally from Pennsylvania, he served under General George Washington during the Revolutionary War. That former position, and Washington’s later significance as the first president under the U.S. Constitution, made it somewhat ironic that president Mifflin accepted George Washington’s resignation as Commander in Chief.
Richard Henry Lee of Virginia served as the country’s fourth president from 1784 until 1785. His presidency might have been pretty uneventful, but his political career afterwards was not. He became a vocal opponent of the now current U.S. Constitution out of the fear that it would create a centralized government too similar to the government that the colonies lived under as British citizens.
John Hancock, most famous for his large signature on the Declaration of Independence, held the position of the president from 1785 to 1786. His life in politics began long before the presidency, and he even helped to fund the American effort during the Revolutionary War. His life in politics continued after his tenure as president under the Articles of Confederation. He was reelected as Governor of Massachusetts—a position he resigned due to health before becoming president—and even ran against George Washington in the first U.S. presidential election under the Constitution.
Nathaniel Gorham, also from Massachusetts, served as the president under the Articles of Confederation from 1786 until 1787. Like many other presidents during the time, his presidency was simply another item on his long list of political accomplishments. He began his career as a public notary who quickly won election to the colonial legislature during the Revolutionary War. He served as a member of the legislature, became a judge even though he lacked legal training, and even attended the Constitutional Convention where he supported the new U.S. Constitution.
Arthur St. Clair. He held the position between 1787 and 1788. He left Congress after finishing his term. He then received the appointment to governor of the Northwest Territory, a position where he often faced off with the Native Americans who claimed they, in fact, owned the land. Despite once being enormously wealthy, St. Clair ultimately died poor, with much of his wealth used to support the American Revolution and young government.
Cyrus Griffin of Virginia had a background in law before he became the eighth and final president of the United States under the Articles of Confederation. He helped to put the country’s new judicial system on the path to becoming what we know today as the modern American court system during his work at the Court of Appeals in Cases of Capture. He continued to contribute to the new country’s court system after his presidency when he went on to become a judge with the District Court of Virginia.
So who were the other presidents before George Washington?
There were also presidents before the presidents under the ratified Articles of Confederation.
- Peyton Randolph, who served from 1774-1775 before taking a leave due to poor health
- Henry Middleton, who served in Randolph’s absence
- John Hancock, who served for two years at this point (and would later serve again, as noted above)
- Henry Laurens who ultimately resigned over a controversy concerning diplomat Silas Deane
- John Jay, who also served as Chief Justice of the New York Supreme Court at the same time he held the office of president
- Samuel Huntington, who ultimately resigned due to health problems (including smallpox), but has the distinction of being the president when the Articles of Confederation were finally ratified
- Samuel Johnston, who refused the office of the president when elected
- Thomas McKean, who ultimately resigned after the British surrender at Yorktown. McKean is notable as being the first president elected after the ratification of the Articles of Confederation, but is generally not considered the first president due to failing to serve a full year term as specified under the Articles of Confederation. (McKean only served for three months.) A few weeks after his resignation, in November of 1781, Congress met as specified in the Articles of Confederation (“the first Monday in November”), with John Hanson being elected president.
The three branches of the American government that we know today—the Legislative, Judicial, and Executive Branches—came about with the Constitution. Under the Articles of Confederation, only the legislative branch existed.
Under the Articles of Confederation, Congress couldn’t tax the states.
It needed to ask them for money to run the government.
Needless to say, the government under the Articles was more than a little cash-strapped.
Well, THAT's interesting isn't it? How would co opting the government that was By and For the People take care of that? Did they need and seek more control? Were people Tricked into signing their consent away?
The Articles allowed members of Congress to have freedom of speech and guaranteed they would not be arrested if they committed certain petty crimes.
Confederate General Robert E. Lee was a descendent of the fourth president, Richard Henry Lee.

According to various sources out in the digital realm. . .
One theory spreading on social media suggests that in 1871, Congress passed legislation that formed the “Corporation of the United States of America” and made Washington, D.C., a foreign entity under the control of the City of London. According to a version of this theory published by a blog called The Marshall Report, Trump’s 2018 executive order aimed at foreign election interference was aimed at undoing this legislation and “the military is now in the process of seizing the assets of this foreign country” and “We are literally watching the reclaiming of the United States of America.”
The article also says that this 1871 Act made U.S. citizens “property of the corporation centered in Washington D.C,” which supposedly made D.C. a “foreign entity.” Adherents of this theory claim that the Organic Act of 1871 did away with the Constitution and ended Americans’ sovereignty.
Following President Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20, there have been manyclaims circulating in the form of tweets and articles, that the “Act of 1871,” established America as a “corporation.”
“When congress passed the act of 1871 it created a separate corporation known as THE UNITED STATES and corporate government for the District of Columbia. This treasonous act has unlawfully allowed the District of Columbia to operate as a corporation outside the original constitution of the United States and in total disregard of the best interests of the American citizens.”

According to Friesian,
The history of the United States may conveniently be divided into three parts, the "Old Republic," 1789-1861, the "Middle Republic," 1861-1933, and the "New Republic," 1933-2005. The length of the "New Republic" is suggested by the previous ones: 72 years, or 18 presidential elections.

Ingersoll Lockwood trained as a lawyer, although his first position was as a diplomat. In 1862 he was appointed Consul to the Kingdom of Hanover by Abraham Lincoln. At the time he was the youngest member of the U.S. consular force and served in that post for four years. On his return he established a legal practice in New York City with his older brother Henry.
