I posted my reference for the federalist papers quote.

Please do not bother telling me how “wrong” I am unless you can offer any facts of your own that make my comments “fatally flawed”. I am sceptical of your “known facts” since you did not present them.

Any comments based on what I may think are not presented as facts- unlike your own.

actually, the Federalist Papers have NOTHING whatever to do with the WBTS. therefore, your referencing them, pardon me, means equally nothing.

may i gently suggest that ANY reading of most any college-level, "survey of European history", textbook will point out that European powers had no designs on ANY portion of the USA after the War of 1812. (France did briefly place Maximilian on the "throne of Mexico". had ANY of "the powers" WISHED to invade the USA, they would have done so DURING the WBTS.)
