I am considering throwing my history behind the formation of the State of Jefferson I would like to help author the constitution of this new state that emphasizes secular heterosexual history that will not oppose gay folks and their rights. Most of American History was made by heterosexuals, including business history. How about art history?
Tax Rebellion in the State of FranklinThe State of Jefferson is a proposed U.S. state that would span the contiguous, mostly rural area of southern Oregon and northern California, where several attempts to separate from Oregon and California, respectively, have taken place in order to gain statehood.
This region on the Pacific Coast is the most famous of several that have sought to adopt the name of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States. Thomas Jefferson sent the Lewis and Clark expedition into the Pacific Northwest in 1803, and envisioned the establishment of an independent nation in the western portion of North America which he dubbed the “Republic of the Pacific”,[1] hence the association of his namehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_(proposed_Pacific_state)

The State of Franklin (also the Free Republic of Franklin or the State of Frankland[note 1]) was an unrecognized, autonomous “territory” located in what is today eastern Tennessee. Franklin was created in 1784 from part of the territory west of the Appalachian Mountains that had been offered by North Carolina as a cession to Congress to help pay off debts related to the American War for Independence. It was founded with the intent of becoming the fourteenth state of the new United States.
Franklin’s first capital was Jonesborough. After the summer of 1785, the government of Franklin (which was by then based in Greeneville), ruled as a “parallel government” running alongside (but not harmoniously with) a re-established North Carolina bureaucracy. Franklin was never admitted into the union. The extra-legal state existed for only about four and a half years, ostensibly as a republic, after which North Carolina re-assumed full control of the area.
In my opinion the Occupy Eugene Community made a hasty retreat to Alton Baker Park. I tried to tell whomever that history was on their/our side, in regards to the murals in the Post Office. But, history is for old folks, and when I was a young Hippie Radical, I had all the answers I would ever need.
Occupu Eugene may already be HISTORY. I wrote the following Sept. 24, 2009. Jesse Benton, who kin influenced the mural inside the Post Office, is leading a REAL tax rebellion. Seantor Thomas Hart Benton was the Administrator of the Oregon Territory, he sending the Pathfinder to make a road inorder to bring Americans to Oregon, and push out the British. I GIVE this family history away to anyone who has the guts to use it!
