Letters from a Pennsylvania Farmer, 1767

Thanks

My ancestors lived in Pennsylvania in 1767. It was still Virginia back then. Pennsylvania became a state in 1787.

The ancient planters in Jamestown were hardworking smart people.

Pennsylvania did not exist in 1767, Holland did.

Posted that just to provide some historical context.

Nothing is original in the human condition.

Oh it did. As a colony.

You do know that correct?

Holland? Go ahead...

Do you know where the colony was located?

You are welcome!

William Penn and Phiily or no, do I have that one wrong??

I will be happily corrected.

Regardless, why are the concerns, the gripes the same??

Over 250 years later?

Human nature.

Well, it turns out this guy was a rebel, like a modern day rebel, IN THAT he wrote these pamphlets for printing. LIKE a printing press.

Now we have GLP and other sources.

Kinda crazy huh??

Sorry not many takers on this subject, oh well.

Read those old docs.

We are in the process of repeating history, in several examples.

Thanks! This is important shit.

What is the difference between a farmer then, and a carpenter, plumber or electrician are now? OR a farmer now??

No difference, basic human nature was addressed with the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.

Grievances are grievances. This, now, is about the overlooked or forgotten man and woman.

Okay got you, this was written from a 'Penman'. He lived there BUT he did not...live there yet in the state?

Is that your point?

Not true, just didn't seem user friendly at first glance. We're all fucking tired my dude. snap it up

'Snap it up'? Okay...turn it on me?

But I'm not tired. Sorry you are.

Very cool OP!
Probably one of the best thread/links I have seen here in a long time. Just finishing the first audio recording and came back to type this and heading back to eagerly enjoy the rest this evening!

5 stars and a bunch of green, if it were possible!

A direct link to when good men thought critically and debated with good spirited intellect!
Again thanks!

I am just trying to provide information here, that is it.

Take for granted, 250 years ago, at your own peril.

Oh, and everything in between!

I can pin this for you so it stays up top for a while. Very good stuff!

You have an amazing back round. And I can tell you are proud of them.

Thanks. I really mean that. Where have all the 'good men' or cowboys gone? Where is common sense?? Oh and some religion thrown in there.

Pinned it for ya!

A pin? Geez what the heck?!

YOU are THEE best! Never got pined before...

Sorry to go on and on about this but, well this is the live version of that:



Just where have all the cowboys gone is the real question?

Where are the men, the cowboys, like John Dickinson NOW?

The intro is boring as hell. Nobody in this thread has produced a relevant sentence.

So, produce one then you smart ass. Go away then if you cannot.

Recently got my family tree from my uncle.

My lines go back to PA from before 1850,some born in the old country.

PA is the Cornerstone State.

PA and TN are two of the most important of the several states.
