And many of those who did not agree with it were georgiaens. Particularly those men who lived in this area in the appalachians. Now, you remember we talked about the proclamation of 1763 which had drawn the line down the Appalachian Mountains and mandated that settlers could not move to the western side of the appalachians. Well, some of the folks who were most in favor of creating a new nation so they could push west of the appalachians were indeed these same farmers from georgia. Now, in exchange for peace, president washington had given up claims to land that were inc
1760s would no longer be allowed in the United States. What we see is a change. Now i would like to talk a bit about the transoconee republic and the transoconee republic is something dear to my heart. This is something i ran across when i was writing my book on georgia. It was this episode i had never heard of. It involved a revolutionary hero. Much like we heard with mcfarland who decided he had enough of his country and was going to start his own country shortly after the nation had just begun and this startled me. This left me scratching my head. I had to dig deeper. What i uncovered was this amazing story. Like the whiskey rebellion, the disagreement that led to the creation of the transoconee republic in 1794, the disagreement predated its actual emergence. It wasnt suddenly in 1794 the men decided thats enough and were going to do something about it. Instead, the origins of this disagreement between the federal government and these men from western georgia whats interesting here
Differences, what we read for today is its clearly not the case. What we see is in the 1790s, many of the divisions, many of the concerns that people who viewed the constitution in these folks came to see this still as a problem in the 1790s. The ratification of the constitution did not do away with these divisions. Instead they continued to manifest themselves. And we can see them manifest themselves in a variety of ways. Were going to talk about three ways today that are two clear examples. Examples that highlight the ways in which certain individuals, american citizens decided that they were going to rebel against the constitution and the federal government. In the 1790s we see two examples where rebels decided perhaps they decide to try to form their own more perfect union, their own country. One of these events takes place, or both of them take place in 1794. The first of them that were going to discuss is the whiskey rebellion, which takes place in 1794 in pennsylvania. As well d
Least 17 other, many interrelated. So for example it wasnt a lone duel in and of itself but part of a larger trend. And when you look at all these political duels together you notice really interesting patterns. Most of them took place shortly after an election. And there were deliberately provoked. And a common ploy was one man would call another a selfinterested politician. And there is only one response to that sort of insult, which is you are a liar. And poof, you have a duel. It was very effective way of provoking. And many most cases the loser of an election would provoke the win ore are one of his friends into the duel. And what wore talking about here when looking at these duels. They were deliberately provoked and strategically timed. In other words Many American political duels were kind of like counter elections. Someone dishonored by an election, by losing an election tried to redeem his reputation by an aristocratic contest of hon e a duel. In essence american political du
