Most Americans
know that the original thirteen colonies were founded by the British,
either as crown colonies or as company trading colonies or planting stations.
The colonies were founded upon drugs, booze and slaves organized and
run by cartels to benefit a cabal of secretive orders. (Tobacco,
opium, rum, gin, cocaine)
During the Age of Mercantilism, when the predominant European powers (England, France, Spain, Netherlands) were competing for domination of the riches of the New World, the foundations of many of today's large multinational corporations and secret societies such as the Hell Fire Club and the Order of Skull and Bones, were formed and have morphed from the charters granted for land and trade by the crowned heads or republican governments of European nations, and later by United States cartels, monopolies, and government bureaucracies.

was unfortunately destroyed by a hurricane, August 18, 1779,after a very severe conflict." (Pap. Cont. Congr., 50, 9 (September 18, 1782) ; Sparks MSS., xli, 42.) The prize was a British sloop called the West Florida. She was fitted out by Pollock and under the command of Pickles cruised on Lake Pontchartrain during the fall and captured a British settlement. The surrender of the British posts on the Mississippi to Galvez soon followed. Later the West Florida assisted the governor in the capture of Mobile and then proceeded to Philadelphia, where she was sold out of the service (Pap. Cont. Congr., 19, 5, 193 (July 10, 1780), 37, 251, 535, 537, 541 (January 20, June 7, November 20, December 5, 1780), 50, 1-13, 66, 77-81, 97, 120-125; Jour. Cont.

and eleven of her crew were lost. Governor Galvez then provided
an armed schooner for the use of the Americans; this vessel seems
also to have been called the Morris, or Morris's tender. Pickles
cruised in this schooner and "Captur'd in Septr. a Vessell
of very superior force in Lake Ponchetrain, after a very severe
conflict." (Pap. Cont. Congr., 50, 9 (September 18, 1782)
