Small. Even when Sherman marched on the south during the civil war almost 100 years later, there were only @10,000 in all of Atlanta.

...did you know that Quebec (Quebec Corridor) extended down to the Gulf of Mexico and that the term "Cajun" is in reference to the "caged Canadians" of Louisiana?...did you know that the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 included land that extended north into Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba? Did you know that the treasonists responsible for the Boston Tea Party were masons and members of the "Hell fire club"? Did you know that the funding for the assassination of Lincoln came out the "Bank of Montreal"? Do you know that Winnipeg Manitoba is the geographical center of the North American continent and as such is the headquarters for the most powerful jewish kabal in the West (kikes are big on symbolism)....would you like to question you on a few more things that you don't know?

I don't think any of that is true, especially about the word Cajun. It's a corruption of the word Acadian, who were the French colonists in Canada.

What are your sources for any of this?

I'm just going by what I was taught in school throughout the 60s and early 70s, re the word "cajun", I also heard the same thing from a guy in New Brunswick who has relatives in Baton Rouge...if it turns out that it's not accurate I'm not going to lose sleep over it but then again how in the fuck is one to believe anything today given that the educational system taught us that there is only 2 genders, today's system teaches that there's 72 different genders and that 2+2 = 5 or 7, hell I don't even know if there's 24hrs in a day anymore.

the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 included land that extended north into Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba?

Just Alberta and Saskatchewan. It wasn't so much a purchase as it was payment from the US to France to drop their claim to the land. France had claimed it, but had no way to defend and populate it, so the US purchased France's claim to the land. Jefferson knew the US had to explore, survey, and populate it immediately because land that is unpopulated by European people is subject to dispute and challenge. This is how the US conquered Mexico's former territory.

the treasonists responsible for the Boston Tea Party were masons and members of the "Hell fire club"?

They weren't committing treason, but they were breaking the law, and were repudiated by both the citizens and the local government of Boston. Fines were paid and restitution was made for the tea. Yes, those who threw the tea in the harbor were masons, as most of the affluent men of the time were, but they absolutely weren't in the "Hellfire Club", which was established in London in 1718 and had several other clubs in Britain and Ireland. There's no possibility that a franchise would have existed in Massachusetts colony at that time.

Winnipeg Manitoba is the geographical center of the North American continent

This is wrong. For the last 90 years, Rugby, North Dakota, was claimed to be the geographical center. It has since been recalculated to Center, Oliver County, North Dakota.

I'm right about everything, I was wrong once and that was only because I thought I was wrong about something when it turned out I was right.

It was a midsized state but most importantly well positioned to expand. You had stoneage Indian tribes, the British Empire to the north, and a declining Spanish Empire in the vicinity with Russia far off in Alaska. There were no other players of significance at all. The US became a world power around 1850. Joining Russia, Britain, and France.

What is to be admired about the American Revolution was that it was a successful armed uprising against gun control.

Its liberal principles generally are not the cause of the success America has experienced. That has more to do with good land and good geography. And at this point the liberal ideology that is Americanism is outdated at best.
