War and Death By Breach of Contract

(Civil War Tribute at Veteran Memorial in Santa Clarita, CA.)
"The failure of the Confederacy to win recognition from foreign countries, and the effective blockade of their coasts by the Federal Navy, doomed the South to failure. When the war ended four years later, the human cost far exceeded what anyone had imagined at its start. The Union endured and the United States emerged stronger from this conflict. The Union lost 364,511 and the Confederacy lost 163,280 for a total of 527,791 Americans who died in the conflict." (See Civil War citation at left.)

In 1782, members of the United States of America and Britain met in Paris, France, to discuss and enter what would become the 1783 Treaty of Paris ("Treaty"). The parties at this meeting were Benjamin Franklin, John Jay, Henry Laurens, and John Adams from the United States. From Britain were David Hartley, ESQ., and Chief Negotiator and Merchant for King George, Richard Oswald, of Scotland.

As a result of this meeting in 1782, the Treaty was signed in 1783 by all parties and the Constitution for the People of the United States ("Constitution") came as a result in 1789. This Treaty was multi-fold. It first ended the American Revolutionary War and reconstituted the outstanding debt owed by the British North American Colonies from the French-Indian War to Britain. The Constitution even mentions "No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States." (See Article I, Section 9, Clause 8). The term Esquire originates from England and is provided to licensed attorneys in the United States once they pass the "Bar-rister" exam and are admitted to practice law.

Navigating back to the Civil War, the Confederate States attempted to secede from the Union and become recognized internationally by foreign states, however, this is in clear violation of the 1783 Treaty and the Constitution. As a result of the attack on Fort Sumter, South Carolina by the Confederates in 1861, over 500,000 soldiers between the Confederates and the Union perished before the war ended in 1865. This means half a million people died fighting for a cause premised on a breach and dishonor of international treatise.

Today, we have several States of the Union having expressed the desire to secede from the Union when the Constitution was created to "create a more perfect Union." Any attempts to secede from the Union will be found to be in violation of the Constitution and the 1783 Treaty. This will be considered an Act of War against England and that of the United States. The only way for people to "secede" out of the jurisdiction of the United States is by the former Right of Exile or what is known today as the Right of Self-Determination.
