Banking on the Apalachicola

One of the reasons I've been so lax in regular updating has been the work that I've been doing on the British Fort at Promontory Bluff on the banks of the Apalachicola River in 1816. The nickname for the place was "the Negro Fort". It was destroyed by an elite squad of US Army officesores sent south from Georgia to officially protect supply ships but secretly designed to obliterate the facility. Almost done.

Dalliance of the absence

I should apologize for the long absence from the blogs. I've been taking the Farce Book hiatus. Its good communicating with relations, old friends, acquaintances, and neighbors. Not much unexpected has happened really. To that point the mundane, the expected and the opinions expressed by others mimic my interpretation. There was no urgency to replicate the mundane.

And I have been doing more work on the Ft. Gadsden/Negro Fort which was destroyed on July 27th, 1816. Its a simple topic about one of the single greatest immoral crime or war crime in the 19th century. Yet this War Crime occurred in a time where this brutal behavior ruled human morality. Whether the winner or the defeated little mercy demonstrates. Torture and death held hands with military action.

The worst crime occurred after the time of the actual event which gives a result far worse than the crime itself. Both American and British authorities swept the crime under blankets of obvious excuse, lies and inaccuracies. Economic health and the greed of the rich created a situation where the magnet of greed conquered all ethics. And the worst crime appeared, humanity as a whole forgot this terrible episode.
