Peace, Liberty and Independence (September 12—October 12, 2008) The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia marks the 225th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Paris 1783, which formally ended the American Revolution and established sovereignty for the thirteen former American colonies, with a month-long exhibition of art and artifacts from the United States and France. The exhibition features paintings, watercolors, prints, documents and objects that demonstrate how visual art and language established a national aesthetic and influenced the outcome of the War for Independence. Works include Paul Reveres incendiary hand-colored engraving of the Boston Massacre, an event that became a catalyst for the Revolution and claimed the moral high ground for the colonials.

Saint Vicent and The Grenadines
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is a nation in the Lesser Antilles chain, which lies at the eastern border of the Caribbean Sea where it meets the Atlantic Ocean. Its 389-square-kilometre (150 sq mi) territory consists of the main island of Saint Vincent and the northern two-thirds of the Grenadines, which are a chain of smaller islands stretching south from Saint Vincent to Grenada. To the north of St. Vincent lies St. Lucia, to the east Barbados, and to the south Grenada. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has an estimated population of 120000 and the capital is Kingstown. The country has a French and British colonial history and is now part of the Commonwealth of Nations and CARICOM.Beginning in 1719, French settlers gained control of the island and began cultivating coffee, tobacco, indigo, cotton, and sugar on plantations. These plantations were worked by enslaved Africans. In 1763, France ceded control of St. Vincent to Britain. However, France re-invaded the island in 1779. The French regained control after landing at Calliaqua, near Fort Duvernette. The British then finally regained St. Vincent under the Treaties of Versailles (1783). These treaties were ancillary treaties to the Treaty of Paris (1783), through which Great Britain officially recognised the end of the American Revolution.Between 1783 and 1796, there was conflict between the British and the Black Caribs, who were led by defiant Paramount Chief Joseph Chatoyer.

The American Revolution
The American Revolution refers to the political upheaval during the last half of the 18th century in which thirteen of Britain's colonies in North America overthrew the governance of the Parliament of Great Britain, and then rejected the British monarchy itself to become the sovereign United States of America. In this period the colonies first rejected the authority of the Parliament to govern them without representation, and formed self-governing independent states. These states through the Second Continental Congress then joined together against the British to defend that self-governance in the armed conflict from 1775 to 1783 known as the American Revolutionary War (also called American War of Independence). This resulted in the individual states uniting to form one nation, breaking away from the British Empire in 1776 when the Congress issued the Declaration of Independence. While the states had already rejected the governance of Parliament, through the Declaration the new United States now rejected the legitimacy of the monarchy to demand allegiance. The war lasted for seven years, with effective American victory in October 1781, followed by formal British abandonment of any claims to the United States with the Treaty of Paris in 1783.

Versailles is a city renowned for its château, the Palace of Versailles, was the de facto capital of the kingdom of France for over a century, from 1682 to 1789. It is now a wealthy suburb of Paris and remains an important administrative and judicial centre. Located in the western suburbs of the French capital, 17.1 km (10.6 mi) from the centre of Paris, the commune of Versailles is the préfecture (administrative seat) of the Yvelines department. According to the 2006 census, the population of the city is 89490 inhabitants, down from a peak of 94145 in 1975. Versailles is historically known for numerous treaties such as Treaty of Paris (1783), which ended the American Revolutionary War and the Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War IThe etymology of Versailles is clear that the argument tends to privilege the Latin word versare, meaning "to keep turning, turn over and over",[1] expression used in medieval times for plowed lands, cleared lands (lands that had been repeatedly "turned over"). This word formation is similar to Latin seminare ("to sow") which gave French semailles ("sowings", "sown seeds"). During the Revolution of 1788, city officials had proposed to the Convention to rename Versailles Berceau-de-la-Liberté ("Cradle of Liberty"), but they had to retract their proposal when confronted with the objections of the majority of the population.

His biggest hit came two years later with "Abilene." The song spent four weeks in the number 1 spot on Billboard's country singles chart and reached the Top 20 of the Hot 100. .Prairie du Chien is a city in and the county seat of Crawford County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 6018 at the 2000 census. Often referred to as Wisconsin's second oldest city, Prairie du Chien was established by French voyageurs in the late seventeenth century. The city is located near the confluence of the Wisconsin and Mississippi Rivers, a strategic point along the Fox-Wisconsin Waterway that connects the Great Lakes with the Mississippi. Early French visitors to the site found it occupied by a group of Fox Indians led by a chief whose name, Alim, meant "Chien" in French, or "Dog" in English. As a result, the French explorers named the location "Prairie du Chien", French for "Dog Prairie". Originally this name applied only to the plain upon which the settlement is located, but it was later extended to mean the city as well. The first European visitors to reach Prairie du Chien were the French explorers Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet, who reached the city by canoe on June 17, 1673, and discovered a route to the Mississippi River.

American War of Independence.wmv
Der amerikanische Unabhängigkeitskrieg (englisch American Revolutionary War oder American War of Independence) fand von 1775 bis 1783 zwischen den 13 nordamerikanischen Kolonien einerseits und der britischen Kolonialmacht andererseits statt. Er war der Höhepunkt der Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitsbewegung und führte mit der Unabhängigkeitserklärung 1776 und der Bildung der Konföderation 1777 zu deren siegreichem Abschluss und zur Entstehung der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Der Ausgang des Krieges wurde durch die Unterstützung und ab 1778 das aktive Eingreifen Frankreichs zugunsten der Kolonisten wesentlich beeinflusst. Die Hauptkampfhandlungen endeten im Jahre 1781 nach der britischen Niederlage in der Schlacht von Yorktown, der Krieg selbst wurde mit der Unterzeichnung des Friedens von Paris am 3. September 1783 offiziell beendet. The American Revolutionary War (17751783) or American War of Independence began as a war between the Kingdom of Great Britain and thirteen former British colonies in North America, and concluded in a global war between several European great powers. The war was the culmination of the political American Revolution, whereby many of the colonists rejected the legitimacy of the Parliament of Great Britain to govern them without representation, claiming that this violated the Rights of Englishmen. The First Continental Congress met in 1774 to coordinate relations with Great Britain and the thirteen now self-governing and individual provinces <b>...</b>

(Music and words from Abilene written by John D. Loudermilk and sung by George Hamilton IV. Hamilton's breakthrough hit was the 1961 song "Before This Day Ends." His biggest hit came two years later with "Abilene." The song spent four weeks in the number 1 spot on Billboard's country singles chart and reached the Top 20 of the Hot 100. .Prairie du Chien is a city in and the county seat of Crawford County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 6018 at the 2000 census. Often referred to as Wisconsin's second oldest city, Prairie du Chien was established by French voyageurs in the late seventeenth century. The city is located near the confluence of the Wisconsin and Mississippi Rivers, a strategic point along the Fox-Wisconsin Waterway that connects the Great Lakes with the Mississippi. Early French visitors to the site found it occupied by a group of Fox Indians led by a chief whose name, Alim, meant "Chien" in French, or "Dog" in English. As a result, the French explorers named the location "Prairie du Chien", French for "Dog Prairie". Originally this name applied only to the plain upon which the settlement is located, but it was later extended to mean the city as well. The first European visitors to reach Prairie du Chien were the French explorers Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet, who reached the city by canoe on June 17, 1673, and discovered a route to the Mississippi River. Much further travel between French Canada and the Mississippi River passed through <b>...</b>

Have you ever wondered why the government treats the people as corporations and spell our names in all capital letters? Why do all courts fly admiralty flags (the ones with the gold fringe) in the courtroom? This is because they derive their "power" to control the population indirectly from the constitution specifically from Article 1 section 8 "To declare War, grant letters of Marque and Reprisal." A Letter of Marque is an international agreement that allows a Pirate to become a Privateer. A Privateer is someone commissioned by the government to capture booty and split it with the government. The Letter of Marque gives the Privateer the full authority to Rob, plunder and murder as long as the government gets it's cut of the booty. Full Authority provided by a government entity to a corporate entity. See Blacks Law Dictionary for more. There are 3 requirements for the LOM to be valid. It is only applicable on the High Seas, against Vessels of the Enemy. This is why we are currently in the united states fly a WAR flag, where the stripes are horizontal. The Peace Flag the stripes are vertical. The Paris Peace Treaty of 1783 is the document that formally ended the hostilities between Britain and the united States. The LOM was outlawed by the Treaty of Paris of 1856 (except for the United States).

The Treaty of Paris, signed on September 3, 1783, ratified by the Congress of the Confederation on January 14, 1784, and by the King of Great Britain on April 9, 1784 (the ratification documents were exchanged in Paris on May 12, 1784), formally ended the American Revolutionary War between the Kingdom of Great Britain and the United States of America, which had rebelled against British rule. The other combatant nations, France, Spain and the Dutch Republic had separate agreements; for details of these, and the negotiations which produced all four treaties, see Peace of Paris (1783).

The agreement
The treaty document was signed at the Hotel d'York – which is now 56 Rue Jacob – by John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and John Jay (representing the United States) and David Hartley (a member of the British Parliament representing the British Monarch, King George III). Hartley was lodging at the hotel, which was therefore chosen in preference to the nearby British Embassy – 44 Rue Jacob – as "neutral" ground for the signing.On September 3, Britain also signed separate agreements with France and Spain, and (provisionally) with the Netherlands. In the treaty with Spain, the territories of East and West Florida were ceded to Spain (without any clearly defined northern boundary, resulting in disputed territory resolved with the Treaty of Madrid), as was the island of Minorca, while the Bahama Islands, Grenada and Montserrat, captured by the French and Spanish, were returned to Britain. The treaty with France was mostly about exchanges of captured territory (France's only net gains were the island of Tobago, and Senegal in Africa), but also reinforced earlier treaties, guaranteeing fishing rights off Newfoundland. Dutch possessions in the East Indies, captured in 1781, were returned by Britain to the Netherlands in exchange for trading privileges in the Dutch East Indies.
The American Congress of the Confederation, which met temporarily in Annapolis, Maryland, ratified the treaty of Paris on January 14, 1784 (Ratification Day). Copies were sent back to Europe for ratification by the other parties involved, the first reaching France in March. British ratification occurred on April 9, 1784, and the ratified versions were exchanged in Paris on May 12, 1784. It was not for some time, though, that the Americans in the countryside received the news because of the lack of speedy communication.
The Ten Articles: key points
.]]Preface. Declares the treaty to be "in the name of the most holy and undivided Trinity," states the bona fides of the signatories, and declares the intention of both parties to "forget all past misunderstandings and differences" and "secure to both perpetual peace and harmony." #Acknowledging the Thirteen Colonies to be free, sovereign and independent States, and that the British Crown and all heirs and successors relinquish claims to the Government, propriety, and territorial rights of the same, and every part thereof; #Establishing the boundaries between the United States and British North America (for an account of two strange anomalies resulting from this part of the Treaty, based on inaccuracies in the Mitchell Map—see Northwest Angle and the Republic of Indian Stream); #Granting fishing rights to United States fishermen in the Grand Banks, off the coast of Newfoundland and in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence; #Recognizing the lawful contracted debts to be paid to creditors on either side; #The Congress of the Confederation will "earnestly recommend" to state legislatures to recognize the rightful owners of all confiscated lands "provide for the restitution of all estates, rights, and properties, which have been confiscated belonging to real British subjects [Loyalists]"; #United States will prevent future confiscations of the property of Loyalists; #Prisoners of war on both sides are to be released and all property left by the British army in the United States unmolested (including slaves); #Great Britain and the United States were each to be given perpetual access to the Mississippi River; #Territories captured by Americans subsequent to treaty will be returned without compensation; #Ratification of the treaty was to occur within six months from the signing by the contracting parties.
Consequences
's painting of the delegations at the Treaty of Paris: John Jay, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Henry Laurens, and William Temple Franklin. The British delegation refused to pose, and the painting was never completed.]] Privileges which the Americans had received from Britain automatically when they had colonial status (including protection from pirates in the Mediterranean Sea in respect of which see: Barbary Wars) were withdrawn. Individual States ignored Federal recommendations, under Article 5, to restore confiscated Loyalist property, and also evaded Article 6 (e.g. by confiscating Loyalist property for "unpaid debts"). Some, notably Virginia, also defied Article 4 and maintained laws against payment of debts to British creditors. Individual British soldiers ignored the provision of Article 7 about removal of slaves. The real geography of North America turned out not to match the details given in the Canadian boundary descriptions. The Treaty specified a southern boundary for the United States, but the separate Anglo-Spanish agreement did not specify a northern boundary for Florida, and the Spanish government assumed that the boundary was the same as in the 1763 agreement by which they had first given their territory in Florida to Britain. While that dispute continued, Spain used its new control of Florida to block American access to the Mississippi, in defiance of Article 8. In the Great Lakes area, the British adopted a very generous interpretation of the stipulation that they should relinquish control "with all convenient speed", because they needed time to negotiate with the Native Americans, who had kept the area out of United States control, but had been completely ignored in the Treaty. Even after that was accomplished, Britain retained control as a bargaining counter in hopes of obtaining some recompense for the confiscated Loyalist property. This matter was finally settled by the Jay Treaty in 1794, and America's ability to bargain on all these points was greatly strengthened by the creation of the new constitution in 1787.Only Article 1 remains in force as of 2011.
