You end your post with "My people perish because of a lack of knowledge." You then post something that is false. The Navy and Marines were disbanded following the Revolutionary War. But it wasn't Jefferson who re-created the Marines. On July 11, 1798, President John Adams signed into law a congressional act which created—or re-created, depending how you’re counting—the United States Marine Corps.Damian Wars.... Do you know that the Muslims brag about how Thomas Jefferson had a copy of the Koran?
What they deny.... Jefferson got a copy because of the Islamic pirates boarding ships and extorting European nations for large sums of money. It was beginning to happen with American ships sailing in that part of the world too.
From what I understand congress wanted to appease the Muslims. Jefferson refused. Instead he resurrected the US Marines. He had a fleet built for them and they sailed to destroy the Islamic pirates. Its why the Marine hymn begins with.. "From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli." The reason the Marines are called "leather necks" was because the Marines needed to wear thick leather straps around their necks when boarding Muslim ships to prevent a quick decapitation that these religious "Arabs" performed without blinking an eye.
What Jefferson did was to study the Koran and hated what he saw. He saw a religion of hatred and primitive brutality. We don't get told that part of history too often. He concluded and said that it was one religion not to be tolerated! Keep in mind. He was the President who championed religious freedom.
They are the only religion that wants to eliminate the Jew from the face of the earth. There goes your neighborhood. Love them. Invite them in. The nice smiley ones are to lay the groundwork for others to follow.
My people perish because of a lack of knowledge.
The six original frigates of the United States Navy were authorized on March 27, 1794 during the Washington administration. Among those ships was the USS Constitution which is today preserved in Boston harbor.
Now, it was Jefferson who sent the ships and the Marines to deal with the Barbary Pirates, but it was not Jefferson who built the ships or reconstituted the Marines.
