The term I originally used, "sparsely," is accurate.

If that's what you want to call it fine by me. The point is, though, that there was virtually nobody there.

Though you wish to downplay the actual number of people who resided there

Provide a source on that "actual number" if you intend to discuss it further. Either way though, for 800,000 square miles of land the population was virtually negligable.

I thought I told you not to spread your lies here.

It's no matter of lie, capitan, on anybody's part but your own. You made up supreme court decisions and got caught. You attempted to insert extraneous material into those decisions and got caught. You claimed that yankee troops engaged in the military capture of a fort which turned out to be abandoned and which they did not even hold. It's all a matter of record right here on FR and that record shows that you are a filthy liar.

Since you seem not to claim any medical training, I assume you are familiar with the terminolgy by experience.

I was trying to put it in a milder way, but I guess I'll say it bluntly. You're full of crap, capitan, and one doesn't need medical training to know or see that fact.

Lose the argument; start the trash talking.

I take it then that your surrender began a couple dozen posts or so back.

"The point is, though, that there was virtually nobody there."

There were hundreds of thousands of people in the western states and territories - there was just a lot of open land - still is.

"Provide a source on that "actual number" if you intend to discuss it further."

1860 census agumented by Westward Expansion by Ray Allen Billington. But you can do your own homework. I did not "make up" any Supreme Court decisions. I mistook a New York case for a USSC case and posted a retraction the next day. That is what honest posters do. Dishonest posters, like yourself, only tell the half-truth. John Kerry would be proud of you and your conduct this evening!

"You claimed that yankee troops engaged in the military capture of a fort which turned out to be abandoned and which they did not even hold .... record shows that you are a filthy liar."

You are getting hysterical now. I made no such claim. All I ever stated was that the company rode it, again took possession, and raised the flag. Anything beyond that are your lies and misrepresentations. And for every lie you make, I will reply with the truth.
