The American Revolutionary War (17751783), also known as the American War of Independence, was a global war that began as a conflict between Great Britain and its Thirteen Colonies which declared independence as the United States of America. After 1765, growing philosophical and political differences strained the relationship between Great Britain and its colonies. Patriot protests against taxation without representation followed the Stamp Act and escalated into boycotts, which culminated in 1773 with the Sons of Liberty destroying a shipment of tea in Boston Harbor. Britain responded by closing Boston Harbor and passing a series of punitive measures against Massachusetts Bay Colony. Massachusetts colonists responded with the Suffolk Resolves, and they established a shadow government which wrested control of the countryside from the Crown. Twelve colonies formed a Continental Congress to coordinate their resistance, establishing committees and conventions that effectively seized power. British attempts to disarm the Massachusetts militia at Concord, Massachusetts in April 1775 led to open combat. Militia forces then besieged Boston, forcing a British evacuation in March 1776, and Congress appointed George Washington to command the Continental Army. Concurrently, an American attempt to invade Quebec and raise rebellion against the British failed decisively. On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress voted for independence, issuing its declaration on July 4. Sir William Howe launched a British counter-offensive, capturing New York City and leaving American morale at a low ebb. However, victories at Trenton and Princeton restored American confidence. In 1777, the British launched an invasion from Quebec under John Burgoyne, intending to isolate the New England Colonies. Instead of assisting this effort, Howe took his army on a separate campaign against Philadelphia, and Burgoyne was decisively defeated at Saratoga in October 1777. Burgoyne's defeat had drastic consequences. France formally allied with the Americans and entered the war in 1778, and Spain joined the war the following year as an ally of France but not as an ally of the United States. In 1780, the Kingdom of Mysore attacked the British in India, and tensions between Great Britain and the Netherlands erupted into open war. In North America, the British mounted a "Southern strategy" led by Charles Cornwallis which hinged upon a Loyalist uprising, but too few came forward. Cornwallis suffered reversals at King's Mountain and Cowpens. He retreated to Yorktown, Virginia, intending an evacuation, but a decisive French naval victory deprived him of an escape. A Franco-American army led by the Comte de Rochambeau and Washington then besieged Cornwallis' army and, with no sign of relief, he surrendered in October 1781. Whigs in Britain had long opposed the pro-war Tories in Parliament, and the surrender gave them the upper hand. In early 1782, Parliament voted to end all offensive operations in North America, but the war continued in Europe and India. Britain remained under siege in Gibraltar but scored a major victory over the French navy. On September 3, 1783, the belligerent parties signed the Treaty of Paris in which Great Britain agreed to recognize the sovereignty of the United States and formally end the war. French involvement had proven decisive,Brooks, Richard (editor). Atlas of World Military History. HarperCollins, 2000, p. 101 "Washington's success in keeping the army together deprived the British of victory, but French intervention won the war." but France made few gains and incurred crippling debts. Spain made some minor territorial gains but failed in its primary aim of recovering Gibraltar. The Dutch were defeated on all counts and were compelled to cede territory to Great Britain. In India, the war against Mysore and its allies concluded in 1784 without any territorial changes.

MOWA Band of Choctaw Indians

This area of frontier Alabama had been inhabited for thousands of years by indigenous cultures. The Mississippian culture is believed to have been ancestral to the historical tribes of the Muskogean-speaking Choctaw and later the Creek, when the entire State of Alabama was dominated by the Choctaw Indians in historic times. The Mobile and Washington County Choctaw Indians are direct descendants of the tribes shown on the Plan Figure Des Villages Chikachas (Chickasaw) Attaque Par Les Francois Le Vingt Six May in 1736 (Map of the Villages of the Chickasaw attacked by the French on May 26, 1736). The first European settlers in Mobile and southern Alabama in the 18th century were Roman Catholic French and later Spanish. The area was governed by nationals of these two countries before the British took it over. English and Scots traders arrived before the American Revolutionary War and were followed by settlers arriving in the early 19th century. During the American Revolution, the Galvez conquered Mobile in 1780 and Pensacola in 1781 took control of Mobile/Pensacola from the capital of Louisiana at Orleans only a few miles down river from the present day site of the Alabama Power Plant and the DuPont Power Plant are located on State of Alabama Highway 43 today. Galvez was surrendered the city of Mobile and welcomed by various prominent citizens and Zenon Orso was amongst them. Zenon Orso is a progenitor of many of today's Choctaw Indians of the MOWA Band of Choctaw Indians. Although Zeno(n) Orso is recorded to be from New Orleans it is often forgotten that the capital of the Louisiana Territory under the French was at present-day Axis or Bucks Alabama where the Alabama Power Plant is located today. This is even more notable that this same property was deeded from the Juzan(called Juhan) in the deed to the DuPont family who own a nearby Chemical Plant within a mile of the Alabama Power Plant. The Natchez Indians referred to the area as the Juzlin's (Juzan) Nigra or Walnut Hills. In fact, many of the MOWA Band of Choctaw Indians are prominent families like that of John Andry(Andre/Andrews) who still has a road in the area, the Lofton's (called Lofton/Loftin/Loftus's Heights in Mississippi along that river), however, ancient land deeds of Mobile will reveal that Lofton's Road is almost directly across from the Alabama Power Plant and about 4 miles up the road and across the Mobile River one will find an Island which also once belonged to the Lofton/Loftis families, the Krepes, and the Mims (as in the Fort Mims Massacre of August 30, 1813), etc. The frauds committed against the Choctaw Indians of Mobile and Washington Counties of Alabama, the Mississippi Choctaw, and the Choctaw of Louisiana are both incredible and famous, but there is a reference for any who need to know more about this atrocity of how one larger tribe or at least two tribes would spare little expense to deprive the Choctaw Nation of the East from their own Native American Birthright. The Choctaw Commission of the Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana would eventually be recognized Federally in 1945 largely by the efforts of an Alabama Choctaw named Wesley Johnson who was the first Chief of the Choctaw Nation East of the Mississippi River since the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek in 1830, however, the Mississippi Choctaw would quietly remove the Alabama and the Louisiana Choctaw from their own rolls in order to obtain a larger settlement of land and cash from the Indian Claims Commission. The same Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians who were denied by the Choctaw Nation of the West (Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma as of 1975) and fought by the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations of Oklahoma rather that be required to pay any claims due the Choctaw Nation of the East in accordance with the 1881 United States Court of Claims Decision and the United States Supreme Court decisions in Choctaw Nation vs. United States now sought to actively deny the other remnants of the Choctaw Nation of the East of the Mississippi River. The Choctaw Indians of Alabama (formerly Mississippi/Indian Territory) (Mobile and Washington Band of Choctaw Indians) is composed of Choctaw who refused removal to the "WEST" in 1830. By their treaty, they were guaranteed the right to retain both Choctaw and United States Citizenship and retain their Sovereignty as Choctaw Citizens but if they should ever remove to take a 640-acre reservation in Oklahoma, then they would never be allowed to take part of the financial incentive Annuity. These same Choctaws were provided for under Article XVIII of the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit, in which, the land of the Choctaws were not to be "SOLD" until the Choctaw shall "REMOVE" and that the money to be provided for the Choctaw to Remove shall be obtained from the lands of the Choctaw "SOLD", thereby creating a nullity, whereby the Choctaw did not have to remove until their lands were sold and at the same forcing the removal language of the Preamble of the Treaty to be itself not ratified by Congress. It was a clever stroke of the pen by the Choctaw Nation of Indians in 1830, which protected the Sovereignty of the Choctaw provided for under Article VI of the Treaty and the Citizenship of the Choctaw provided for under Article XIV, and then the Treaty Proviso, that in cases of well-founded doubt arising from the Treaty, that the Treaty should prejudice the Choctaw. The Choctaw Nation of Red People or Indians did not have to Remove and nor did they. However the other groups of Choctaw did remove, the first group of about 960 Choctaw self-removed between the years of 1831 and 1833, under the pretense of the requirement to remove. The next large groups removed in the 1850's. Those Choctaw called the Bay Indians under John Johnston chose to remain. The Choctaw group under William Fisher, who applied for removal in 1851 or 1852 removed and later "FISHER" was accused of fraud in 1854 when he returned the Choctaws to their home in Alabama. The Chiefs of the Choctaw Nation up to at least 1871 are noted to be buried in the "OLD INDIAN TERRITORY" and their wills are recorded in Mobile, Alabama; near where the various Treaties were previously entered upon by the United States and the Choctaw Nation, typically near the Tombigbee River and Mobile Rivers located in Mobile and Washington Counties as known today. The State of Alabama has under the Color of Law maintained a Legal Fiction whereby the Alabama Legislative Act of 1832 is superior to the United States Constitution, Treaties, Federal Acts, and Federal Court Decree all in favor of the Choctaw. It is under this Legal Fiction that the greatest secret of Alabama lies. The Treaty of (D)Oaks Stand in 1820 traded the lands East of the Tombigbee River in the OLD Choctaw lands called the "OLD FIELDS" for the State of Oklahoma and was later attempted to be corrected in the Treaty of 1825 when 5 million acres were taken from the Choctaw Nation from the lands ceded by the United States to the Choctaw Nation. The Choctaw Nation of Indians under the leadership of Chief Robert Cole Father of Chief Coleman Cole, Peter Cole (Ashi or Hoshi Homma), Charles, Cole, Charles Frazier, etc. did not cede their lands as suggested by the United States but instead required compensation for the 6000+ settlers who settled along the Arkansas boundary with Oklahoma aka the Red River. The Treaty of 1820 was a treaty which is commonly understood to have conveyed or ceded the lands West of the Mississippi from the United States then in possession of the Nation of Spain to the Choctaw Nation of Indians and in exchange for the Choctaw Lands East of the Tombigbee River (present day Clarke and Monroe Counties) this act was done in 1820, not 1830 as is commonly misunderstood to be the case. According to Peter Pitchlynn, only one Choctaw took advantage of the Treaty of 1820, Captain Fulsom (the son in law of the "One Weaver"). However, the Treaty of 1820 did render any and all previous Treaties null and void, in Article I of the said Treaty, reverting all Choctaw Land ownership back to the Choctaw Nation of Indians. The Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek of 1830 guaranteed the Sovereignty of those who would remove to those lands in the West such as Oklahoma to the Choctaw Nation of Indians forever but did not convey title, covenant or any other term that was intended to diminish from the Right of Possession, Usage, and Occupancy of the Choctaw Nation of Indians under the leadership of Peter Cole (Hoshi or Ashi Homma aka Red Bird), John Johnston, and Tom Gibson (Elah Tubbee) who remained along the Tombigbee and Mobile Rivers Mobile, Washington, and Choctaw, Baldwin, Clarke, Sumter, and Monroe Counties of Alabama Alabama near their own sacred mound at Indian Graves Creek and Indian Springs at what is today known as Cedar Creek behind the old Jackson's Barracks which is called the Mount Vernon Arsenal or Barracks and was last known as the Searcy Hospital for the Insane. It was also once known for the Battle of the Horseshoe - which an aerial view will reveal the true nature of the heavily stockaded fort which was said to be encountered by Jackson during the Creek War of 1814–1815. The Horseshoe was surrounded by cannons which were used to attack the fortification which is situated on a higher elevation and was virtually impregnable. In 1835 the federal government built the Weaver Indian school at Mount Vernon, Alabama, with labor supplied by the Choctaw. The Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Cherokee sometimes but rarely intermarried with European Americans. John Johnston Jr. testified in 1842 to being threatened for his property rights before the Congress of the United States, he is a progenitor of some of the Choctaw Indians of Alabama (known as the MOWA - Choctaws Indians of Mobile and Washington County) today and a road named after him is one of the main roads in McIntosh as a legacy to his leadership of the Choctaw Indians of the East John Johnston Jr. was notable for being the Tribal Leader of the Choctaw group known as the "Bay Indians". The main group of Choctaw Indians in Washington County live on or immediately parallel to the John Johnston Road near the Reed Settlement which leads by way of Citronelle (Neshoba Church and Mt.
