Some of my colonial ancestors fought well, hard and often in their war against the foreign invaders arriving by the boatload every day in the St. Lawrence. When, at last, defeat was certain they hightailed it to the deep South ~ to Vincinnes on the Wabash, and further South to the Huguenot settlements along the Green River.

When George Rogers Clark showed up the Beedel family men signed on ~ some of them actually having been in combat on the Plains of Abraham.

No doubt a lingering hankering after an earlier America motivated the Cahokia militia in their attack on Fort St.Joseph in Michigan at about the same time ~ they flew the flag of Spain!

Too often people forget that there were many others already here long before the Treaty of London (1604), and this is the only country their descendants got, or that they think about.
