The following is one of the greatest of events in world history. It was the British in 1776 refusing to address General Washington as General of Patriots.
General Washington would have none of it, as he was not about to have his Nation, his People, his Flag, his Rank or his Person disgraced.
"July 12 Lord Howe arrived with more troops, and also with ample powers to pardon and negotiate. Almost immediately he tried to open a correspondence with Washington, but Colonel Reed, in behalf of the General, refused to receive the letter addressed to "Mr. Washington."
Henry Cabot Lodge. George Washington
"Then Lord Howe sent an officer to the American camp with a second letter, addressed to "George Washington, Esq., etc., etc." The bearer was courteously received, but the letter was declined. "The etc., etc. implies everything," said the Englishman. It may also mean "anything," Washington replied, and added that touching the pardoning power of Lord Howe there could be no pardon where there was no guilt, and where no forgiveness was asked."
Henry Cabot Lodge. George Washington
"As a result of these interviews, Lord Howe wrote to England that it would be well to give Mr. Washington his proper title."
Henry Cabot Lodge. George Washington
"To the world Washington represented the young republic, and he was determined to extort from England the first acknowledgment of independence by compelling her to recognize the Americans as belligerents and not rebels. Washington cared as little for vain shows as any man who ever lived, but he had the highest sense of personal dignity, and of the dignity of his cause and country. Neither should be allowed to suffer in his hands."
Henry Cabot Lodge. George Washington
George Washington understood every American was America. It is why the dastard Tom Daschle allowing the flag to be disgraced as a tool of what is now the Obama cartel in that further degradation of Constitutional Law by undocumented Birther Obama is of the heinous nature of crimes against the American People and Nation.
George Washington defined the rule and order of this. All who violate this are treacherous and treasonous against these United States of America.
