I didn't know the US was still a British colony in 1792. What was that constitutional convention back in 1787 about, then? And all that fighting and killing for over a decade before that?

Maybe somebody brought it to class for “show and tell” and forgot to take it home.

1792, back when Americans actually repaid their debts, as opposed to refinancing with a HELOC or 0% (for first three months) credit card

Well, this is the proof Mr. Bates has been looking for. Maybe now he can get those debt collectors off his back.

I am glad she found the document, but really??? nobody cleaned up the place in that long? It is her classroom. We as kids had to clean the classroom from top to bottom in June every year. Bottom line though is that a document has been found and will help with preserving the charished history of the North.

And I’ll bet it’s a “living” document, like all the other documents from that era.
