September 13, 81: DEATH OF FLAVIUS VESPESIANUS TITUS
(The son of Vespasian). He played an active part in the capture of the Galilee during the Jewish revolt. Upon Vespasian's appointment as ruler of Rome, he was given command of the Roman forces in Eretz-Israel. Titus' name is forever linked to the devastation of the Temple and the brutality of the destruction of Jerusalem. This is based on the writings of Tacitus, a Roman historian. Josephus tried to whitewash Titus and claim that he was against the burning of the Temple. According to talmudic legend Titus challenged God to punish him, where upon God sent in a gnat which ate at his brain causing him terrible headaches until he died. Upon his death he ordered his body to be burned and his ashes scattered so as to prevent the "God of the Jews" from punishing him. [1]
81 C.E.
The Arch of Titus was built by the emperor in Rome in 81 C.E. to commemorate the suppression of Jewish resistance in Jerusalem[2] Which commemorates Titus' conquest of Eretz Israel, was erected by his brother Emperor Domitian. There is a Jewish custom not to walk under the arch which depicts the taking of Jews into captivity as well as the vessels from the Temple. [3]
Between 81 and 96 A.D.
Emperor Domitian (reigned 81-96) persecuted seven leading churches in western Asia Minor during his reign. While these churches were undergoing persecution from the outside, they were also plagued by heretics from within, who were leading believers away from Christ. Revelation 1:1-20.[4]
Domitian followed in his father Vespasian’s footsteps and gave direct orders that any of the bloodline of David be executed. Hegesippus related a fascinating story, preserved byu Eusebius, in which two grandsons of Jesus’ brother Jude were arrested, questioned, and released during the reign of Domitian. Hegesippus wrote that they were brought before the emperor Domitian himself, which seems unlikely though it is possible, given the high profile of the Davidic family and the tensions of the times in Palestine. They were asked if they were of David’s line, which they acknowledged, but they insisted they had no political aswpirations and were men of modest means, making a living by farming.[5]
81-96: Domitian emperor.[1][6] Adds hypogeum to Coliseum. Navel battles occurred inside.
85 C.E.: In the early history of Christianity, Jews were among the persecutors, accusing the Jewish followers of Jesus of blasphemy. Christianity originally developed as a sect with Judaism and did not become a separate religion until about 85 C.E., when Jewish Christians were expelled from the synagogues.[7]
85 to 95 C.E.: Luke. The author of this gospel also wrote the Acts of the Apostles His narrative includes the story of Jesus’s life from his birth to the Resurrection, his ministry to the poor, women and oppressd groups, and his miracles. It focuses on his teachings about salvation anhd fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies.[8]
90: Germania Superior and Germania Inferior established as Imperial Roman provinces (Germania).[9]
Between 90 and 95 A.D.: God gave John a series of apocalyptic visions to warn the Christians of the end times, to assure them of his sovereignty, and to encourage them to persevere in their faith. Revelation 1:1-20.[10]
91 CE: In 91 the emperor Domitian ordered attacks on Christians as well as Jews within the empire.[11]
c.95 C.E. Final text of the Revelation; soon thereafter, final text of John’s Gospel and the three letters of John the Elder.[12] The last canonical gospel, John focuses more on spiritual themes rather than historical events and emphasizes the divinity of Jesus and his role as the Messiah. He does not include the parables and exorcisms and the Second Coming. However, John recounts private conversations between Jesus and his disciples.[13]
In John’s Gospel, Judas is a fully developed character and a very evil one. …Why does the figure of Judas become increasingly evil with each of the four apostles Gospel. Why are they telling the story this way? Some experts believe Christians demonized Judas to distance themselves from Jews in a bid to help their faith survive. [14]
John about the Jews: “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” Chapter 8, verse 44.
“I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou are rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which sway they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan” (2:9)
“Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie…(3:9)
Book of Revelation
95 (Succot) JEWISH DELEGATION TO ROME
Was led by Rabbi Gamliel II, along with Rabbis Akiva, Joshua and Eleazar to request that Emperor Domitian rescind one of his anti- Jewish proclamations. [15]
96 A.D.: The Book of Revelations was written by John the Revelator at a time of Imperial persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire around A.D. 96 toward the end of the reign of the Emperor Dominitian.[16]
September 13, 533 - General Belisarius of the Byzantine Empire defeats Gelimer and the Vandals at the Battle of Ad Decimium, near Carthage, North Africa. [17]
September 13, 1556 - Charles V & Maria of Hungary march into Spain[18]
September 13, 1556: Knox arrived in Geneva on September 13, 1556.[49]
For the next two years, he lived a happy life in Geneva. He recommended Geneva to his friends in England as the best place of asylum for Protestants. In one letter he wrote:
I neither fear nor eschame to say, is the most perfect school of Christ that ever was in the earth since the days of the apostles. In other places I confess Christ to be truly preached; but manners and religion so sincerely reformed, I have not yet seen in any other place...[50] [19]
September 13, 1573: At a ceremony before the Paris parlement on September 13, the Polish delegation handed over the "certificate of election to the throne of Poland-Lithuania".[15] Henry also gave up any claims to succession and he "recognized the principle of free election" under the Henrician Articles and the pacta conventa.[15]
September 13, 1586: Babington and thirteen of his accomplices are brought to trial, and on the 17th of September are all condemned to die. [20]
September 13, 1598: – Phillip II of Spain dies, he is succeeded by his son from his marriage to Anna of Austria, Philip III. [21]

Bucks County, Pennsylvania
Andrew Pickens (September 13, 1739 – August 11, 1817) was a militia leader in the American Revolution and a member of the United States House of Representatives from South Carolina.
Early life
Pickens was born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, the son of Scots-Irish immigrants, Andrew Pickens, Sr. and Anne (née Davis). His paternal great-grandparents were Huguenots Robert Andrew Pickens (Robert André Picon) and Esther-Jeanne, widow Bonneau, of South Carolina and La Rochelle, France.[1]
In 1752 his family moved to the Waxhaws on the South Carolina frontier. He sold his farm there in 1764 and bought land in Abbeville County, South Carolina, near the Georgia border.
He established the Hopewell Plantation on the Seneca River, at which several treaties with Native Americans were held, each called the Treaty of Hopewell. Just across the river was the Cherokee town of Isunigu ("Seneca").

Military career
He served in the Anglo-Cherokee War in 1760–1761. When the Revolutionary War started, he sided with the rebel militia, and was made a captain. He rose to the rank of Brigadier General during the war. [25]
September 13, 1759: Quebec The British win the decisive Battle of Quebec. Montcalm and Wolfe, the commanding generals of both armies, perish in battle. [26]
September 13, 1774: Five days after the Henrys were murdered, three Indians made an attack upon a soldier who was out hunting or scouting about half a mile from the fort at Maiden Spring. The Indians shot at the soldier, but failed to hit him. He shot one of them so severely that the wound proved fatal. Major Arthur Campbell, in reporting the affair to Colonel Preston, said: "A party of our people happened to be within 300 yards when the guns were fired; they soon were at the place of action, and give the remaining two Indians a good chase. The wounded fellow found means to get into a large cave or pit within 70 or 80 yds. of the place where he was shot; in which it is supposed he is dead, as he fell when he was shot, and bled a good deal. I have one of the plugs now in my house that burst out of his wound a few steps from the tree he stood behind when he was shot. The pit is to be searched by means of letting a man down in it by ropes with lights, as our men are anxious to get his scalp." This cave is about a half mile South of Maiden Spring and the Bowen homestead.
Major Campbell also reported that on the evening of the 13th Captain Smith's scouts discovered the tracks of a party of the enemy going off with horses and prisoners they had taken. From this it appears that others besides Lammey had been made captives; but Campbell still thought that Henry's wife and children had been, made prisoners by the Indians, though Mrs. Henry and all the children, except one little boy, were afterwards found by a company of men who went to the Henry home, dead, scalped and piled up on a ridge a short distance from the house. The Indians when they made their forays always stole as many horses as they could find, which they used to carry away the plunder they took and their captives. Captain Smith when informed by his scouts of the invasion set out with a party of twenty-one men in pursuit of them, but was unable to overtake them. At that time there was a very small number of men on the Upper Clinch region employed as scouts.
They had to cover and guard a number of passes along a front of fifty miles; and could not do the work effectively, no matter how skilled and daring they might be as woodsmen. [27]
September 13, 1777: – We remained in the same camp as yesterday. Our losses consist of 58 English and including Captain Trautvetter from the Hessian and Lieutenant von Forstner of the Ansbach Jaegers, Lieutenant von Baumbach of the Guards, and Lieutenant [Conrad] Du Puy of the Linsing Grenadier Battalion, as well as thirty jaegers, of the total loss of 400 men, and on the enemy side, about 800 men…[28]
Battle of Lindley's Mill - September 13, 1781[29]
Long Run Massacre - September 13, 1781 [30]
September 13, 1782: Irvine, in anticipation of being absent from Fort Pitt upon this expedition, wrote out the following instructions:
I.— IRVINE To LIEUTENANT COLONEL WUIBERT.
“FORT PITT, September 13, 1782.
“Sir: — During the time of the excursion I am about to make with part of the troops comprising this garrison and some militia, you will please carefully to examine what further repairs may be indispensably necessary to make on this post; in doing of which, you will calculate with as much accuracy as p05-sible, the quality and quantity of materials and number of artificers and laborers required to complete the work. When this is done, you will please to reconnoiter the ground in the vicinity of the post and determine (in your judgment) the places an enemy will be most likely to approach by. But, in ~ particular manner, I wish you also to reconnoiter an eminence on the northwest side of the Alleghany, immediately opposite the fort, and fix on the most advantageous spot for erecting rither an inclosed redoubt or block house. Of all which, I beg you will have plans made, and estimates also of labor, at my return. As to having any actual work performed, 1 do not expect it; the troops will be so few, they cannot perform any and do the necessary military duty. Major Craig will command all the troops; and I make no doubt from the good understanding I know you to be on with this gentleman, bul your time will pass agreeably.
“I am, sir, your obedient, humble servant,
WM. IRVINE.[31]
September 13, 1784:
George Washington's Western Adventure
In 1784, the father of our country set off to survey the wilderness empire of the new republic. He also had to collect some rent.
By Joel Achenbach, The Washington Post, June 6, 2004

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On September 13, 1784, coming down from the mountains into the valley of the Youghiogheny, George Washington arrived at the gristmill. His gristmill. He had never seen it. Years earlier, before the Revolution, he'd been told that his mill was the finest west of the Alleghenies. But now that he was finally free from his duties as commander in chief, and could make the long journey to inspect the mill personally, he saw to his dismay that it harnessed the might of a feeble stream! The millrace was essentially dry. Perhaps the masters of the place were expecting some other source of power to come along, something more sophisticated than water.
The surrounding land boasted some patches of rich soil, but the level tracts were interrupted by gullies, depressions, rocky outcroppings -- "broken" terrain. He owned 1,644 acres of rolling backwoods turf inhabited by people living in extremely modest dwellings. It would someday be named Perrypolis, but for now the residents called this place "Washington's Bottom." What an honor.
"I do not find the Land in general equal to my expectation of it," Washington wrote in his diary. "The Mill was quite destitute of Water . . . In a word, little rent, or good is to be expected."
Washington knew who was to blame for the mill disaster: Gilbert Simpson, the mill operator, whom Washington had once described as a man of "extreame stupidity."
When the general finished dealing with Simpson, he knew he'd have to cope with a second, even more irritating problem. A group of people had journeyed to Washington's Bottom to discuss his allegation that they were squatting on his land. They were Scotch-Irish Presbyterians who belonged to a sect called Seceders. They lived on Washington's land -- or what Washington claimed was his land -- about half a day's ride to the north, on Millers Run, southwest of Pittsburgh.
Pennsylvania had been founded by Quakers, but these Scotch-Irish were a different breed -- rougher, more belligerent and ready to tromp into every remote mountain hollow of the Appalachians to hack out a new life. They did not come to the mill to give the general a parade. The great man threatened to take away their farms. When they had arrived in this part of western Pennsylvania in the early 1770s -- it was then considered part of the sprawling colony of Virginia -- they had found a trackless forest. They had hacked down trees, burned and grubbed the stumps, built fences, log cabins and barns, and found a way to survive in a world that still knew the howl of the wolf. They had endured the constant risk of Indian attacks, and, indeed, one of their members, Thomas Bigger, had narrowly escaped a massacre that claimed the lives of three families a dozen miles to the west, near Raccoon Creek. And now, years later, they'd gotten word of a visitor, at best an absentee landlord, but perhaps more properly a man with no right to their farms whatsoever.
What bad luck for the Seceders: They had squatted on the wrong man's land. Worse, he was a details freak. George Washington kept track of every shilling he was due, every acre he owned. He had an extraordinary gift for seeing the big picture of America, of perceiving the possibility that on this continent a new and powerful nation might spring into being, something to rival the great powers of Europe -- but he also paid attention to the vexing minutiae of his considerable landholdings. The 52-year-old war hero doubled as an accountant.
The Seceders had several things going for them. In Pennsylvania there was a general presumption that settlers who improved land had priority over an absentee landlord with only a paper title. The Seceders had heard that Washington had a bogus title and that the original surveyor of the land, William Crawford, lacked proper credentials. When they began clearing land and burning stumps, the Seceders had assumed they'd found their place in the world, beyond the machinations of moneymen far to the east. They would grow their corn and wheat, raise their cows and pigs, hunt wild game and worry only about the weather and the threat of Indians, wolves and panthers. That was the plan.
And then the grave, frowning, humorless George Washington himself came riding in. Who could have imagined?
Washington saw himself as the victim, not as a feudal lord showing up to slap around some lowlifes. He felt abused. These people had taken advantage of him. He hadn't been around for the last decade because he'd been busy winning freedom for the nation. He insisted that, although he owned tens of thousands of acres in the West, he was not a land speculator or "monopolizer":
"Indeed, comparatively speaking I possess very little land on the Western Waters," he wrote to his attorney. "To attempt therefore to deprive me of the little I have, is, considering the circumstances under which I have been" -- fighting for liberty! -- "and the inability of attending to my own affairs, not only unjust, but pitifully mean."
The historian Archer Hulbert, in Washington and the West (1905), noted that the general had more than just the Millers Run tract on his mind. He feared that a loss of this one parcel would have a cascading effect, and that he might lose all of his tens of thousands of land in the remote backcountry. Being lenient "would certainly result in the establishment of a precedent that would be ruinous to him; and if Washington could not keep his land, how would the less influential and less powerful fare?" He would fight this battle on behalf of all absentee landlords.
This dispute was, in miniature, the conflict of the continent: Who owned the land? How was that ownership established? Would the laws of the East hold sway in the distant forests of the West? Was the game stacked against the common man, the pioneer, the tribesman? Would ordinary Americans own their own farms or pay rent to far-off aristocrats? Would order triumph, or chaos?
What kind of country was this going to be?
THIS WAS BOTH a business trip for Washington and a chance to scout the terrain of his young nation. In the closing days of the war, he had declared his intention to make a grand tour of the new United States, to take its measure from the Great Lakes to the Mississippi to the Deep South. It was, after all, the fourth-largest country in the world by size, yet much of it was scarcely mapped.
Pressed for time, constrained by his duties at Mount Vernon, Washington had dramatically scaled back his ambitions. The new plan: Ride up the valley of the Potomac, across the mountains, through forests so dark they had names like "the Shades of Death," to the frontier of the nation, and then keep going by canoe down the Ohio River for hundreds of miles, far beyond the outer reaches of what people of his society called civilization.
Washington loved the backcountry and had seen more of it than almost anyone of his generation. He'd slept many times under the stars. He'd spent years as a surveyor, tromping through remote valleys and across swollen rivers, learning the way of the woods, sharing the pipe with Indian chiefs, and imposing imaginary lines on the wilderness. He and Thomas Jefferson had corresponded at great length in recent months about the western country, but while Jefferson was content to remain at Monticello -- in his entire life he never traveled farther west than the Shenandoah Valley -- Washington always had the urge to see things directly, to rub that western soil between his thumb and fingers.
Washington also knew better than anyone how hard it was to get anywhere. The few roads that existed were muddy trenches choked with stumps. In the entire country there was not a single bridge over a major river. The Appalachian Mountains stood like walls between the East and the West. The country was spread out and disconnected to a potentially disastrous degree. Washington feared that the West -- the rapidly settling Ohio country -- would become a breakaway republic.
But he thought there was a solution: He could help create the Potomac Route to the West. The river could become the premier commercial artery for the young republic. It would bind the settlers in the Ohio country to the markets of the Atlantic Seaboard. But without improvements in the river and the creation of a good portage road over the mountains, the centrifugal forces of the Revolution might rip the country apart. There might even be a civil war -- West against East.
THE SECEDERS were part of a great migration of people into the West. For decades, European Americans and African Americans had been pooling on the eastern side of the Appalachians, constrained first by the Indians and the French, then by the British proclamation that the western waters would be reserved to the Indians. But the Revolution opened the floodgates. The powers of attraction of the West, which so many times had yanked Washington from the comforts of his Mount Vernon estate, had an even more powerful effect on landless people.
There was a presumption underlying this westward movement, a belief that the continental interior was in some fundamental way unoccupied, that although the Indians had lived there for millennia and knew every trail and stream, every spring and salt lick, and had built villages and raised crops and interred their dead in ceremonial mounds, they still did not own these ancestral lands. The native Americans didn't have any use for the concept of private property and found bizarre the European belief in imaginary lines that enclosed the natural world. So it was all up for grabs.
The Scotch-Irish, Germans and French were in the vanguard of the western assault, along with Finns and Swedes. In addition to families, there were many lone wolves, usually young men fleeing the backbreaking labor of the indigo and rice fields of the Deep South or recently released from debtors' prison. For many Americans, the dangers and deprivations of the West, the terror of Indian raids, the shortage of staples and ordinary comforts, were still a step up in life.
Voyagers to the West had to supply all their own needs as they migrated. For food they would hunt deer, bear, wild turkey and perhaps the occasional squirrel, raccoon or groundhog. At the end of their journey through the forest would be nothing as coherent as a village or town, just a patch of woods along a river or stream. Many a family made a clearing in the forest and, using nothing but an axe, built a cabin, complete with wooden hinges, wooden pins, wooden chinking[32] (held in place by clay or mud), even a wooden chimney. Packed clay served well enough for a floor.
Peace, as a rule, did not follow the settlers as they infiltrated the domain of the Indian. When the frontiersmen weren't killing Indians, they were inventing ways of maiming one another. Eye-gouging became something of a sport, and the countryside had an unusually large number of one-eyed men. The historian Leland Baldwin reported that a "fair fight" meant the use of fists and nothing more, but the "rough and tumble" was the more common form of frontier combat, one in which "the endeavor of each man was to maim and disfigure the other by gouging out his eyes, biting off his lips, nose, or ears, or kicking him in the groin." These people did not follow Washington's maxims for gentlemanly behavior.
Whiskey cost three cents a glass. Wagoneers would dance to a fiddler, drink all night and never repair to their room, since they had no room, only a claim to a few square feet on the barroom floor. They smoked a crude cigar that emitted a mephitic stench and cost four for a penny. That such twists of tobacco were smoked by drivers of Conestoga wagons gave the cigars their enduring name: stogies.
When George Washington moved among frontier folk, he didn't mix. He passed over these people like a dark nimbus cloud. To be George Washington required an adherence to certain principles, behaviors and beliefs that could properly be described as elitist, and that elitism wasn't superficial, it came from the marrow. Whatever he found common in himself he tried to purge. He once referred to ordinary farmers as "the grazing multitude." Apparently, he did not subscribe to the Jeffersonian dictum that yeoman farmers were God's chosen people.
And now the general had to meet face to face with these squatters. In his diary, one can sense a steady reddening of Washington's visage. They "came here to set forth their pretensions to it; & enquire into my right," he wrote. They attempted to "discover all the flaws they could in my Deed."
WASHINGTON'S TESTY ENCOUNTER with the squatters destroyed his western momentum. He wanted to go home. The Grand Tour of America had already been downsized into a mere business trip to his western properties, and now even that was turning into a bust.
He'd been thinking of turning back even before he'd run into the Seceders. He had been told that the Indians were in arms, and had recently killed a number of white settlers who had encroached on Indian lands north of the Ohio. Washington didn't want to push his luck. Discretion is different from cowardice. Later he wrote in a letter that it was "better to return, than to make a bad matter worse by hazardous abuse from the Savages of the Country." Thomas Freeman, his land agent, subsequently informed him that the Indians knew Washington was headed to his western lands, and they were preparing to greet him with an ambush. "The Indians by what means I can't say had Intelligence of your Journey and Laid wait for you," Freeman informed the general. George Washington did not want to go to the West if the Indians were in arms. He rode south again, back toward Gilbert Simpson's, and along the way received assurances from some of the local gentry that they would hunt up proof of his ownership of the Millers Run land. The next day, he rode south to Beeson's Town (now Uniontown, Pa.), where he found himself a good lawyer. In fact, he found a great one: Thomas Smith, a Scotsman who had emigrated to America and had become one of the leading land lawyers in the state, a kind of traveling salesman of legal services. In a single year, by Smith's calculation, he'd ridden 4,000 miles on horseback, all over the craggy Pennsylvania terrain. He had seen a lot of different characters in his day, and when George Washington came calling, Smith had to use all his legal and psychological skill to guide the case toward a positive outcome.
Washington was almost too eager to sue. Had it not violated his maxims on personal deportment, he would have been literally hopping mad. But Smith quickly detected the lack of documentation behind Washington's claim. This would not be an easy case.
The general told Smith he would return to western Pennsylvania to testify against the squatters. But he knew it would be no minor matter to make yet another trip over the mountains. Events might easily detain him elsewhere. This was only the second time since 1758 that he had managed to venture to the West. He might never see this part of the world again.
In a couple of weeks, after a detour through a remote section of the backcountry, Washington reached Mount Vernon and resumed his life as a plantation owner and generator of grand ideas. He vigorously pursued his Potomac project and became president of the Patowmack Company, a venture designed to improve navigation in the river and turn it into a commercial artery. His Potomac scheme absorbed him, but he took time out to prosecute his case against the Seceders. They were still rooted on his land at Millers Run, still growing crops and raising livestock and acting as though they weren't the lowlife squatters that Washington knew them to be.
The lawsuit dragged on for two years. After Washington's western trek in 1784, he regularly corresponded with Smith. The general might have been a master of delegation in certain arenas of combat, but in this lawsuit he intended to lead the charge personally. Not even Cornwallis had faced such rage.
Smith wrote back with gentle words to cool the litigious ardor of his client. Any move that seemed designed to punish the squatters might backfire, Smith informed Washington. Juries in similar cases had sided with the defendants. To bring trespassing suits against the squatters "may produce a bad effect, in the minds of the Jury who are to try the Ejectments -- their modes of thinking may lead them to believe the Defendants rather unfortunate, then blamable, and that as these double actions will well nigh ruin most of them; will not the jury be willing to lay hold of every point however trifling which may make against your title or in favour of the Defendants."
Washington replied in the tone of a man recognizing that he had momentarily lost control of his passion (a maxim violation). He didn't intend, he said, for Smith to file additional suits for trespassing, but rather believed they might be pursued after the main ejectment cases had been settled. But now that he had heard about other cases that had not gone well, he wrote, he would leave such suits entirely to Smith's discretion.
"I never should have thought of this mode of punishment, had I not viewed the Defendants as willful and obstinate sinners -- persevering after timely & repeated admonition, in a design to injure me," Washington wrote, and then added, incredibly, "but I am not at all tenacious of this matter." [33]
September 13, 1788: The Continental Congress – which still functioned at irregular intervals – passed a resolution on September 13, 1788, to put the new Constitution into operation.
Several ideas in the Constitution were new. These were associated with the combination of consolidated government along with federal relationships with constituent states.

John Locke
Two Treatises of Government
life, liberty and property
The due process clause of the Constitution was partly based on common law stretching back to Magna Carta (1215).[citation needed] The document established the principle that the Crown's powers could be limited. The "law of the land" was the King in Parliament of Lords and Commons. The once sovereign King was to be bound by law. Magna Carta as "sacred text" would become a foundation of English liberty against arbitrary power wielded by a tyrant.
Both the influence of Edward Coke and William Blackstone were evident at the Convention. In his Institutes of the Laws of England, Edward Coke interpreted Magna Carta protections and rights to apply not just to nobles, but to all British subjects of the Crown equally. Coke extended this principle overseas to colonists. In writing the Virginia Charter of 1606, he enabled the King in Parliament to give those to be born in the colonies all rights and liberties as though they were born in England. William Blackstone's "Commentaries on the Laws of England" were the most influential books on law in the new republic among both lawyers generally and judges.
The most important influence from the European continent was from Enlightenment thinkers John Locke and Montesquieu.
British political philosopher John Locke following the Glorious Revolution was a major influence expanding on the contract theory of government advanced by Thomas Hobbes. Locke advanced the principle of consent of the governed in his "Two Treatises of Government". Government's duty in a social contract with the sovereign people was to serve them by protecting their rights. These basic rights of English and by extension all humanity, were life, liberty and property.
Montesquieu, emphasized the need to have balanced forces pushing against each other to prevent tyranny (this in itself reflects the influence of Polybius's 2nd century BC treatise on the checks and balances of the constitution of the Roman Republic). In his "The Spirit of the Laws", Montesquieu argues that the separation of state powers should be by its service to the people's liberty: legislative, executive and judicial.
Division of power in a republic was informed by the British experience with mixed government, as well as study of republics ancient and modern. A substantial body of thought had been developed from the literature of republicanism in the United States, including work by John Adams. The experiences among the thirteen states after 1776 was remarkably different among those which had been charter, proprietary newly created royal colonies.
Native Americans
The Iroquois nations' political confederacy and democratic government under the Great Law of Peace have been credited as influences on the Articles of Confederation and the United States Constitution.[13] Relations had long been close, as from the beginning the colonial English needed allies against New France. Prominent figures such as Thomas Jefferson in colonial Virginia and Benjamin Franklin in colonial Pennsylvania, two colonies whose territorial claims extended into Iroquois territory, were involved with leaders of the New York-based Iroquois Confederacy.[14][34]
September 1, 1813-September 13, 1813.
Elizabethtown, KY.
[Thomas Lincoln is defendant with David Vance and Isaac Bush in suit brought by Richard Mather to force payment of note which he claims Vance has not paid. Mather, original owner of Nolin River farm, sold it to Vance, who sold it to Bush, who sold it to Lincoln. Vance did not complete payment, and obligation was assumed in turn by Bush and then Lincoln.Equity Papers Bundle No. 24, Hardin Circuit Court; Warren, Parentage and Childhood, 113.]

Dawn, September 13, 1814: The bombardment of Fort McHenry begins. From their position two miles away British bomb ships provide their own version of “shock and awe”. 1500 190 pound cast iron bombs would be hurled at Fort McHenry. The houses in the city of Baltimore were “shaken to their foundations.” The British Infantry is approaching Baltimore. A bomb makes a direct hit on the powder magazine of Fort McHenry where 250,000 pounds of gunpowder are stored. The shell fails to ignite. The shelling continues all night.[36]
Major Armistade and his men know they must hold out. The fate of the city, perhaps the nation itself is in their hands. The only way the people and Francis Scott Key will know if they are successful is if the flag is still flying above Fort McHenry in the morning. They watch and wait.

September 13, 1862: Camp Strong is situated about one and a half miles southwest from Muscatine. New barracks had been constructed for our reception. They formed two sides of a square by connecting with those prepared for the 35th Iowa, forming a right angle triangle fronting on a level green parade ground. In the center a pole had been erected for the purpose of floating the stars and stripes, and afterwards used also as the center of a circle about which refractory soldiers were made to revolve. At the foot of the pole a very diminutive piece of artillery announced the ascent of the stars and stripes at sunrise, and their descent at sunset.
The organization of the regiment was effected on the 13th of September, and it was mustered into the United States service on the 18th of the same month, by Captain H. B. Hendershott, of the 1st U. S. Artillery. The organization when effected was as follows:
The time here was spent in drilling, parades, etc., preparatory to taking the field. Our camp was carefully guarded by soldiers armed with wooden swords at first. The lines were as regularly visited each night by the officer of the day as though an enemy were at hand, and liable at any moment to pounce upon us. Many were the amusing scenes that occurred during these excursions, while teaching the soldier the important duties of the sentinel, the instructors and soldiers being alike novices in the art.
During this period many took advantage of the weakness of the mode of opposing them and escaped the restrictions of the camp by breaking guard, but none for any other purpose than that of an hour's pleasure in the city—whence they returned as they came, sometimes pursued to their bunks by the corporal of the guard.[40]

(William Harrison Goodlove Civil War Diary)[41]
September 13, 1893: Nettie Illini Goodlove, was born July 18, 1867, married Richard H.
Gray, September 13, 1893, at her parents home. Nettie died
September 15, 1911. Nettie and Richard were both doctors in
Anamosa, Iowa before moving to Texas, where their daughter,
Ruth Johnson lives today. They had a son, Richard, who died
at the age of 6 in July 1908, while the family was visiting
Nettie’s parents. The boy is buried at Jordan’s Grove. [42]
Miss Nettie Goodlove, of this place, and Richard Gray, of Marion, were married last night September 13, 1893 at the home of the brides parents, only a party of relatives and intimate friends being present. The twain will make their future home in Marion, we understand. May the stream of life carry them through a happy, prosperous life. [43]
September 13, 1898: As Geneva shuttered itself in mourning, Elisabeth’s body was placed in a triple coffin: two inner ones of lead, the third exterior one in bronze, reposing on lion claws. On Tuesday (September 13), before the coffins were sealed, Franz Joseph's official representatives arrived to identify the body. The coffin was fitted with two glass panels, covered with doors, which could be slid back to allow her face to be seen.[34][44]
September 13, 1901: McKinley initially appeared to be recovering, but took a turn for the worse on September 13 as his wounds became gangrenous. [45]

September 13, 1920: After consulting with leaders in the Buck Creek Church, Ottilie set the election for September 13. .[48] September 13, 1920: The editor of the Leader apparently saw no prupose in reporting the cross burning in its next issue. Instead, the Leader reported, “practically every qualified voter in te proposed territory attended the polls…The issue looked doomed to defeat in the weeks before the elction…But as the good points of consolidation were presented, one after another of the objections were battered down and numerous voters changed from a negative to an affirmative position when convincing facts were given them.” Two hundred and fifteen persons voted, with the final tally standing at 133 for and 76 against, with 6 spoiled ballots. The Leader opined that a new school could be built and opened by the next fall, “should everything work harmoniously.”The Manchester Press carried a similar piece but also indicated that “the new school will be located near the church. This will mean greatly improved facilities for the children of the neighborhood, and we congratulate the good people of Buck Creek upon the wisdom and enterprise shown by them.” Lost in the hoopla was any mention of the apparent shipft in power relations between Methodists and Catholics in the area. Buck Creek was now a formally constituted, legally recognized place, a Methodist place. Or so it seemed to be.[49]

The “chink” is the space between the logs while “chinking” is the process. Sometimes “chinder” is used to describe the material used. A typical material for a log-cabin would be straw mixed with clay and water. A log-house might use a plaster-like chinking material of ground limestone, sand, and water.
