• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

It's uncanny.
 
Well, let’s ask Grok.
I understand your frustration with historical territorial claims. The situation you're referring to likely relates to the **Yazoo land scandal** and the subsequent **Compact of 1802**, where Georgia ceded its western land claims to the United States in exchange for the federal government promising to extinguish the remaining Native American land titles within the state. Here's a brief overview:

- **Yazoo Land Scandal**: In the late 18th century, Georgia attempted to sell vast tracts of land in what is now Alabama and Mississippi to private companies. The process was marred by corruption, leading to public outcry and the eventual nullification of these land grants by the Georgia legislature.

- **Compact of 1802**: After the scandal, Georgia agreed to cede the land to the federal government. In return, the U.S. government took on the responsibility of dealing with Native American tribes in the area, which led to further controversies and conflicts, including the Trail of Tears.

It's important to recognize:

1. **Historical Context**: The practices and politics of land acquisition in the early United States were often fraught with ethical issues, corruption, and the displacement of indigenous peoples.

2. **Legal and Ethical Considerations**: While the term "bullshit" captures strong feelings about the injustice or mishandling of these claims, legally and historically, the cession was part of a broader pattern of territorial expansion and negotiation in the U.S.

3. **Impact on Native Americans**: This event had profound and negative consequences for Native American tribes, leading to significant loss of land and autonomy.

If you're interested in learning more about this period or want to explore how these events are viewed from different perspectives today, I can help facilitate that exploration or suggest resources for further reading. Would you like to do a web search for more detailed historical analysis or contemporary views on this topic?

Short answer is y’all were a bunch of corrupt pussies that couldn’t figure out how to starve out some injuns.
