g.   7 reservations in just 20 miles by 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.

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.
