Americans call America the Land of Liberty, (Liberties) It's founders Patriots. The British however had a completely different take. America was nothing more than a series of Plantations within the larger British empire that had a treason problem. I firmly believe America had won its independence.......... for a time.
The irony is that while Americans fought a war over a 3 pence per pound tea tax, The jay treaty required Americans to reimburse the crown and english business for all their loses. Saddling the new nation with millions in debt. George Washington was land rich but cash poor and very coincidently the jay treaty allowed his interests in the Ohio territory to be maximised. Upon conclusion of the revolution Americans got to enjoy a 300% tax increase vs Crown taxes. Why did Washington need an Army of 12,950 the size of the Army at Yorktown to Carlisle to shut down the Gardner's and their Whiskey Rebellion? He was shutting down the anti-federalist movement and seizing the capital that was being used to fund it..
It only seems like we've forgotten about the River of Whiskey here lately. We are still all here diligently using Sir William Key to build the bridges that unlock our collective history. How Americans found themselves on the plantation is a major part of the story left untold..

Ulster Plantation Index of Citation & Context
The Irish Society, incorporated by James I in 1613 and administered by the London guilds (including the Skinners, linked to the Gardiner family's ancient toll claims), is analyzed as a guild administrative pack for the Ulster Plantation. This is seen as part of the syndicate's broader evasion and financial scheme, connecting them to land and revenue in Tyrone and Donegal, the construction of the Walls of Derry, and later events like the Siege of Derry via figures such as Admiral Gardiner and Luke Gardiner Mountjoy.
