Sir Edmund Andros attempted to wrangle harmonise the Puritan colonies with the Cavalier ones...

The prisoners were white people who had never seen the kind of sunshine that is experienced in the sothern hemisphere. Even living here now is harsh. Never try and tell an Australian that you had it bad. They will beat you down everytime. The Eastern US was not a desert. The settlors could grow food. Then they could grow tobacco. Thats lucky, thats heaven. You couldnt grow anything here until the explorers conquered the mountain ranges. It wasn't until the 1900's that people had regular food. And then we got put into the british cannon fodder wars. Life in the Southern Hemisphere is HARSH. South Africa etc included.

I believe she came to GA from NC, her parents were Thomas Walker 1757-1829 and Mary Polly Blythe 1761-1850. I have a couple different branches of Rawls/Rawles/Rawals but I only have them traced back to Mississippi in the 1830s, I don't know where they were before then. The earliest family member I have is Robert Arthur Rawls m. Eron Orpha Byrd, their daughter Sarah Ann was born in MS in 1828. I'd be interested to know if you have these people in your tree.

    The failure to diffuse the Act of Toleration into the New England Dominion demonstrates that - aside from being a naive venture to shift the cultural practices of three generations, requiring the same God forlorn persecution as that of the Catholic population of England, Ireland and Wales - *Protestantism really bears no other fruits, but Republicanism* : to usurp the legitimate state under the deluding veil of a cult, making the Puritan of New England and the Mason of the later American Revolution and their subsequent, inevitable *liberal imperialism* interchangeable, the zealous 'wytch hunts' from Salem to McCarthy, from the liberal New York Times and Washington Post to the 'conservative' National Review, included. Being a reactionary, one can admit that there is more to these events than just the actions of a few outliers, the _heretical_ movement of the Reformation would have not had the attraction across _half of Europe and the New World_ if the so feudalism of the late Roman Migration Period, it's _dogmatic_ norms and easily corrupted practices of a secular clergy wouldn't have been in a cultural decline that directly followed the profound structural change of the urbanization in the 12th century, 'a dream of bourgeois reason that lead to the monstrosities' of the later continental 'Enlightened Absolutism' with it's bourgeois, formalistic and utterly detached bureaucracies, the ever increasing spread of financial debt across the entire nation - that is the innovation of 'national debt' that would bind _all_ policy to commercial interest - to finance compulsory schooling and military service - and 'hygienic' burial practices as e.g. under Joseph the II. of Austria, dumping the man who worked himself to death into the grave by the pull of a mechanical lever... Hence it was unlikely to roll back this *historical process* even by _an adaptable Stuart restoration_ - or any other reactionary movement to this day... ...yet... the very dialectic of the very historical process also applies unto the fate of current republics with their categorical inability to resolve *the 'Social Question'* that rose from their 'progress' from serfdom into *industrialization* , the impossibility to have the labour force of the subsequent, _constructed_ *'nation state'* participate in public affairs, foreign or domestic, 'democratically'... with masses, now unrestrained by traditional education, rituals and practices of compassion as demonstrated during the 'enlightened' terror in France, executing up to 250.000 traditionalist peasants of the Vendée and later in Russia and the 'German Revolution' of 1933, sacrificing millions to the idol of the state and 'scientific' eugenics with bureaucratic and industrial efficiency... Considering that neither the Stuart Restoration nor the American Civil War were decisive to settle the struggle between legitimate continuity and a rebellious, usurping break with traditional customs, the 'holy experiments' of planting dissenters and traditionalist loyalists had offered no relief to the English state (then still including the American colonies), but bid time for an ever grander escalation into ever further civil war, encompassing eventually the entire globe. Despite the recent toppling of American Civil War and British colonial statues, the material and cultural interests along the 'rust and bible belts' or the suburbs beyond 'the City of London' can't be accommodated, negotiated or fully suppressed - finally, the influx of a million traditionalist Mixtecs into the US and hundreds of thousands of Asians into Britain each year, completely tips over all motions of an 'enlightened' 'social engineering' that had gilded Transatlantic identity during the few years between the deceptive entry into a second world war - alongside a known 'totalitarian' regime of STALIN - and the deceptive entry into a colonial 'Indochina'... In the last 30 years, instead of contemplating the Aristotelian ethos of seeking pragmatic middle-ground and 'live and let live' ('Politika' book V), the now hegemonic US has been deliberately polarized - reflected in every frame of cable news - in an effort to fragment any popular movement that could unite popular demand behind charismatic leaders - like the last US statesman: the Baptist minister Martin Luther King and his increasing interest in the habitual economic usurpation of all law (King was assassinated on a 'Poor People Campaign'), revealing the actual fruits of the 16th century 'Commmonwealthmen' and what has become of their social order in centuries of their increasingly unchallenged rule (apart from fragile concessions to the electorate and labour force in wartime against great power rivals from traditionalist civilizations, leveraging Wilsonian self-determination of peoples' against historically grown, multi-ethnic states). From my talks to middle-class young men in the West, I gather not Jeffersonian ideals of the 'citizen in uniform', but due to the daily corruption of the propagated 'rule of law', the 'warrior culture' of the original peoples of the land... Among the libertarian 'Dark Enlightenment' - better defined as the 21st century remnants and students of the Romantic movement - the cavalier 'specter' rises like mist from the tidy, *_alienated_* 'pet cemetery' of Puritan making, animating the descendants of the American Revolution that have lost their economic stake in society to their steady proletarization (their personal labour force as their only 'property') - declared constitutionally 'equal', yet having failed to 'redeem themselves by commerce and profit' like the upper 20 percent of the *Pareto Distribution* ... It's not a coincidence that the Russian Federation - as well as the People's Republic under former 'supreme leader' Jiang Zemin - liken their 'presidential' rule to the New Deal of Roosevelt, thereby commending themselves simply as _'the better Americans'_ - modernizing their industries without the obnoxious hubris, the globalist entitlement, the doctrinaire, neo-conservative _'virtuous terror'_ and the detached, 'intersectionalist', liberal imperialism and it's 'Western Cultural Revolution'... ...and despite the long standing political culture of Asian reaction to Western 'values' and 'progress', in the Global South, both nations are taken as 'the better Americans'... If there will be a popular unrest in the New World that shows a promise to escalate into open civil war, this time, other powers won't stand by idle as in the 1860s when technical difficulties across oceans made intervention unfeasible (the French Crown had struggled against the British before, even without Yankee railroads). Due to the shift of most consumer good production to Asia, the cavaliers of our time may then find the support of deep treasure chests, formidable arsenals and combat experienced advisors, closing the full circle since the War of Independence. The question then will simply be if we reactionaries will have _a sustainable_ answer to James the II. original, unspoken question: *_'what to do with New England'_* ? [the documentation of such 'privy' discourse possibly being a rewarding research question for Justine] ...because *without genuine **_concordance_** , there can be no state* (Aristotle)...

    Apologies for not commenting a year ago... Trying to order my belongings since mid July, ahead of a court ordered eviction, I actually held the Elizabeth DVDs in hand and thought of You. The term of the *Black Legend* , _demonizing_ the Spanish Habsburgs is crucial as it is *an 'idealtype' (Max Weber) of Transatlantic politics* and *'manufactured consent'* until this day. Considering the individuals who had set 'grand strategy' - and consequently ran the kingdom: 'Secretary of State' Francis Walsingham, 'Secretary of State' William Cecil, the 'Commonwealthman' and occultist John Dee - _countering plots, only they knew to discover and to decipher_ ... having been allied with Presbyterian Lowland Scots like John Erskine, James Steward, when grooming James Stuart the I. as a Puritan toward *a 'Brytish Empyre', overseas* , formalized with the *Acts of Union* of 1707 that incoporated the Scottish Crown - _structurally_ the very *_liberal imperialism_* of *'Modernization Theory'* that drives a 'neo-conservative' and 'neo-liberal' US 'Homeland Security' apparatus that is _informally reunited with Westminster_ by the concealed networking of Alfred Milner, Leopold Amery and 'Colonel' House - along the very Masonic, _idealizing_ views on man and secretive lodges, James the I. began to cultivate. The actual, historical Elizabeth can be interpreted as the first hostage of such Transatlantic 'regime change' schemes - and the first modern deportation of dissenting populations into the New World - a *'Great Design'* , formulated e.g. by Huguenot Maximilien de Béthune, Duke of Sully as _'to oppose any momentary continental hegemon by shifting alliances'_ , regardless of a possible alignment (it's noteworthy that he served Catholic monarchs just fine, given the lesser Crown of France competing with 'Roman' imperial Habsburg, culminating in the 30 Years War that instrumentalized Protestant 'identities' or simply ambitions, leading to the rise of a Protestant Prussia as an ally of France...). Like the current _figurehead_ in Kiev, being trapped in an idealized, _staged role_ that will deny any return to normal life until death, one could wonder what would have become of Elizabeth if she'd had married into English aristocracy (e.g. Robert Dudley), mothered successors and thus consolidating her 'usurpation' of the English Crown (like e.g. Catherine the Great of Russia - who had the likely true descendant of Peter the Great, her husband, murdered by the Orlovs). If Elizabeth hadn't been modeled into the incarnation of *_the Roman pagan Britannica_* , leading to the rise of an obscurantist 'Hotel Cecil' of the Foreign Office, but being _sovereign_ : the first of a dynasty that thinks for itself in modern circumstances without zealously breaking with the past - like the early Irish Church was founded and as was later demonstrated by James Stuart the II. with the *Declaration of Indulgence (1687)* ... I strongly commend to contemplate Dante Alighieri's depiction of a 'City of Woe' when it comes to *schemes of a Renovatio imperii Romanorum without Christ* - as it is _the_ promise of an Anti-Christ - a polity that is driven by ideological zeal, when only compassion unlocks the polity of love (see Paul Joseph Krause's repeated introductions). Due to it's continental spelling, I always wondered about the context of the Douay-Rheims bible translation when I used it as reference for scripture in conversations. Seeing it's historical origin explained, here underlines not just it's Christian Humanist authority - based upon a critical study of pre-Latin early Church bible texts - but versus exclusive claims about the James bible, it's tested faithfulness in our time...

      "If he'd had [Charles the I] more control over it, could it have helped Royalist power?" It's a misconception of the Crown's prerogative within the realm. The Puritans would have had to be labeled as heretics to the Anglican Church, tried and burned to which his father James the VI/I wasn't prepared to do, despite his strong sense of 'divine rights' - nor did the actual tyrant Henry the VIII. proceed from beheading wives to crushing the Protestants, he had instrumentalized against the Pope (though as the head of his personal church, he curbed their competing activities). Such nation wide persecution, we find only in Parliament and Nazi Germany, both appealing to a _constructed_ 'common good' while breaking all legal custom. Monarchs usually kept the charters and treaties, they signed, avoiding the precedence of illegitimate rule... Regardless, the question makes for a relevant chapter or footnotes, looking into the *Jacobite discourse on the New World and cultural and political dissent* , arguably defying Whig historiography that demonizes their rule as 'mulishly' opposed to modernization like colonial trade, scientific discovery ect. ...
