Why am I not surprised? About what?
Why am I not surprised that with all the HYSTERICAL COMMISSIONS, museum
"curators", "patriotic" organizations, "preservationists", "civic"
organizations, "historians" and "social studies teachers" in this
PITIFUL world, I AM THE ONLY SOUL WHO RECOGNIZES THAT 200 YEARS AGO
TODAY, on Monday, DECEMBER 23, 1816, the first legislation to establish a
state government for the people of PRESENT-DAY ALABAMA was read on the
floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. (that should give you an
idea of just how well your "ALABAMA BICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION" is
progressing)
A BILL TO ESTABLISH THE TERRITORY OF MOBILE
December 23, 1816
Read twice and committed to the committee of the whole House, on the
bill "to enable the people of the western part of the Mississippi
Territory to form a Constitution and State Government and for the
admission of such State into the Union on an equal footing with the
original States."
