20 miles. The area had enough military reservations to qualify as a huge
Military base, but nothing was claimed to have happened.
i.
More than 12 world armies were present and at strength for fifty years,
but not a single shot was fired. In what logical
world would that be even mildly realistic? 12 armies totally over 100k troops
just sat in the area, and staired at each other from
1790-1860, when some of those same armies were exchanging fire in dozens of
other locations closer to home.
ii.
27.
The Pig War 28.
Confederates States of America 29.
The Civil War and Bellingham. 30.
Roeder and reclaiming lands a. The Picket Plantation 1000s of
acres were claimed by Picket from Roeder, he spent
the next several years after 1861 legally fighting to get the lands back. Only
after the territory was declared a state were some of the acres returned. But
a sizable few dozen acres are still kept by the US military “Just in Case” they need
them back. Although those lands are mostly covered over by city and other instillations.
Two very large schools are on those lands, as well as the core of Down Town
Old Town Bellingham. But the threats in the area were so violent that 7 military
bases were a requirement from a full century, a full 120 years later those
lands are still considered valuable if they are needed. Makes the DOD actions
seem odd that a conflict which occurred in 1820 is still casting a shadow in
2020. 31.
The Confederacy name change to the KKK 32.
The KKK and Lynden WA 33.
