ITT: Jow Forums in 1797

well at least 2 of my wives are pregnant... I have time to waste thinking of names...

Si senor this is the Texas territory of New Spain

I ordered a yard of cloth from a mill in Connecticut. It may get down here to Maryland sometime in the next six or so months. The Romans had a better road network 2000 years ago than we have here now.

Three years ago, the greatest Frenchman and also the greatest statesman that ever graced the history of man lost his life at the hands of counter-revolutionary monsters haters of equality and progress. Let's mourn this great loss and hope that one day his ideals are spread all over the world.

Texas in 1797 is just a couple of Spanish forts and missions. That's basically it.

>isn’t owned by anyone
Hola :^)

bow down to the french bull sissy europeans

I'm skeptical of the events in France now. In the beginning it seemed they would cast off the shackles of tyranny and become a brother republic, then the madmen started to take gain control and execute people and promote atheism. Yet Europe's wars shall we not be pulled into. The finances and armaments for that we lack altogether although President Adams has begun to construct a real navy for our republic's defense.

>In the 1770s, Franciscan missionary Francisco Garcés, born in Morata del Conde, Aragon, Spain in 1738, was the first European in the area.[8] Nevada was annexed as a part of the Spanish Empire in the northwestern territory of New Spain. Administratively, the area of Nevada was part of the Commandancy General of the Provincias Internas in the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Nevada became a part of Alta California (Upper California) province in 1804 when the Californias were split. With the Mexican War of Independence won in 1821, the province of Alta California became a territory—not a state—of Mexico, due to the small population. In later years, a desire for increased autonomy led to several attempts by the Alta Californians to gain independence from Mexico.

No actual settlements though prior to the 19th century.

>Robespierre
>Enshrined freedom of religion
>Detested atheism for lacking a metaphysical foundation for morality
>"promote atheism"
Sure thing m8. You're probably mistaken about the whole juring and non-juring priest thing, combined with deliberate misinformation from Coalition powers. "They're all madmen killing everybody and hate atheism!" is an easier story to rile people up with than "They're in a state of emergency and demand that priests renounce the Vatican's condemnation of the republic and outspoken support for the monarchy".

American opinion was split between pro-French Jeffersonians and Anglophile Federalists who thought the goings on in France were anarchy and mob rule.

That actually sounds nice

>Adams' envoys reached Paris in 1797 hoping to meet the crafty French foreign minister Charles Talleyrand. They were secretly approached by three go-betweens, later referred to as X, Y, and Z in the published dispatches. THe French spokesmen, among other concessions, demanded an unneutral loan of 32 million florins plus a $250,000 bribe for the privilege of merely meeting Mr. Talleyrand.

>The Americans found these terms unacceptable. They knew bribes were commonplace in Europe but a quarter million just to talk to Talleyrand was too much. Negotiations fell apart and John Marshall, on returning to the US early the next year, was hailed as a hero for his stubbornness. This led to an outcry for war on France, which had full Federalist backing, but in the end all it amounted to were a handful of naval skirmishes in the undeclared Quasi War.

>The Quasi War lasted three years and the infant US Navy got the better of the French, although US merchant losses to French warships were heavy. The British during this time found it convenient to sell their former colonies cannons and other war munitions in the interest of anti-French struggle.

we won't be part of these fucking monkeyzilians, would rather be dead

Spain momentarily being France's cuckslave.

Be glad you have orders. Three mills in my town closed this month due to the European war reducing our business. The debtors' prison in Boston is overflowing with jobless.

*cuts tobacco*
whew this is hard work since I can't afford slaves yet

Mfw sold all of my grain to the Jews, who will sell it to the army. I am full of cash niggaz. Wanna do nothing and argue about the law?

It is a disappointment we should still have slaves in our democratic experiment. Perhaps someday they will be free.

lads what career path should i choose please help:
>become a priest
>become a lawyer

Doctor?

He isn’t a Jew you know.

It's the 18th century, Jews in Europe mostly still live in shtetls apart from the rest of the population.

never heard of such a thing, sounds very heretical
a man of god is all you need to cure your illnesses

I'm sure your future sons have promising careers ahead of them as pearl divers or pirates.

damn I wish I could read

We should genocide Corsica, bois.

Your king is Gustav IV, a paranoid extreme Christfag who lived in terror of the French Revolution and ended up finally being forced to step down after the disastrous loss of Finland to the Russians.

Yeah I know , I hate him the most after Kristina

Fellas, I can only express my deepest sorrow for the Poles in the loss of their nation, however they should not immigrate to our great nation. Catholics would only suppress us in favor of the Pope

The founder of the US Cavalry was a Polish emigre from the partitions. :^)

the constellation? it's nary a brig!

My good sir, he was a proud Protestant man with no loyalties to the Pope!

The Adams Administration ordered six initial frigates for the US Navy. The idea of constructing ships of the line was rejected for cost reasons as the infant nation didn't have a great deal of money to throw around.

IDK, Finns on Jow Forums say that the Russian era was the first time they were treated like human beings instead of beasts you hitch to a plow and till a field with. But I'm not a Finn so I can't comment.

Things are quiet, I'm sure they'll remain this way in the following years, right?

I wonder when a certain crazy frenchman is going to come out and declare war on Europe and recruit us to join his losing side so that we may be free of Denmark.
HMM!

Wish I could turn time forward another 17 years lads

i would drop everything and join the french army

>John Adams succeded the sainted George Washington as America's second president on March 4, 1797. A capable, highly intelligent, but unlovable and ill-tempered New England elitist, he had a dread of the common man and did not care to know or speak for him, and as he had won the presidency by three electoral votes, was often mocked for it. The short-tempered Adams, who considered himself fairly and democratically elected, reacted angrily to these jests. As president, he was respected more than loved by the nation, but almost anyone who came after Washington would have been seen as a letdown. Although Adams retained Washington's cabinet members, he usually acted independent of them. Shortly after taking office, he dismissed a lengthy list of policy suggestions handed to him by Alexander Hamilton. Disliking the atmosphere at the then national capital in Philadelphia, Adams spent a considerable amount of time at his home in Massachusetts.

>Relations with France remained the overriding issue of Adams's presidency, which saw the creation of the US Navy and Marine Corps as war rocked Europe.

If you want to swim 10,000 miles to France from your tiny penal colony which is less than a decade old.

Literally. The first settlers arrived in Ausfailia in 1788 when the US had been settled for almost 200 years at this point.

5 years of war already, 20 more years of war to come
but in the end the frogs will get btfo so it's all good

Wars just went on forever before modern transportation/communication. Like an entire generation in some cases.

I wasn't thinking in terms of time spent being settled, but sure you're right if that's the frame we're using.

Not being able to campaign in the wintertime was a big reason.

>be american
>leave house
>get tomohawked

I accidentally killed a Prussian by slapping him too hard. Why are sissy Prussian boys so weak?

And why does that happen? Surely it couldn't have anything to do with your agents selling musket to the redskins, could it? The ones we shot outside our settlement last week were carrying Brown Bess muskets. Where might those have come from you say?

if only there was a government that protected you from indians at very high cost to itself while you yourselves had to pay very low taxes

huh oh well

I wonder what life is like in places like Japan, Korea, and China. Perhaps someday the US will have significant dealings with them.

Reminder malthus is RIGHT. There is no way the population can keep growing like this without mass starvation. Rousseau knew what was going on, we should just go back to the savage ways. I hope those steam machines don't make any big impact.

Who else /gibbonpilled/ here? France was basically the roman empire and we'll be in the dark ages soon.
