Correction: meant to say "French Indian Wars" as opposed to "French India Company". In previous post.

In regards to other themes and assertions of other posts, regarding the U.S. Navy, Secreatry of Navy, during Andrew Jackson's term as president. John Branch was the Secretary of Navy for Andrew Jackson, and John Branch was from North Carolina. The Wikidpedia entry has a lot of information on him. What is fascinating about John Branch he had an aversion to the U.S. Navy, in fact he cut resources for funding any real expansion of the Navy during jackson's tenure as president. In the 1850's Graham did the opposite, he expanded the U.S. navy, adding new technological advantages to the ships and starting the U.S. Naval Academy. During the turbulent 1850's. The Whig Party was dying out at that time in America, the Addition of the New Mexico territorise had created bitter rancour in the U.S. COngress, eventually heading the county to Civil War, Bleeding Kansas was underway, and later in New MExico the atomic era would begin in the 1940's. So this, sequence between Branch and William Graham's Secretary of Navy tenure,is a cycle. One of indifference to the U.S. Navy resources on the part of Branch, to one of the opposite on the part of Graham, later, in the 1850's. As if the time was right, for expanding the Navy under Graham. But its an interesting fact, that both Secretaries came from North Carolina, and Branch could be considered something of the nadir of energetic concern for the U.S. Navy, until an upswing in the fifties, where Grahman could be considered occupying a zenith of the Navy funding, and concerns,the top of the cycle. But the transpiring of these North Carolina participatory historical events carry with it a cyclic nature. Whether songs and poetry are known to be cyclic also, whether the Norse sagas, Kavela or Hiawatha, history appears to have its cyclic dimensions also. As evidenced, perhaps, in the two N.C. Secretaries of Navy at this juncture in 19th century America.

It has been interesting historically, that John
Owen, Abraham Rencher, and James Polk, while around the 1820's, formed a political group in the Orange ocunty and Chatham County regions during this time. That is an informal and political ideas exchanging association bewteen all three. james Polk would later become president and be the one responsible for creating the bulk of the united States territory, with the admission of the regions of New Mexico and Oregon into the union. Thus the whole conceptual view of the world and past historical events for humanity stemming from the 1850s to the presnt, the 10's of billions of people, that is--how they view the reality of the world today was created in large part from James Polk and his presidency. And that is the territorial acquisitions Polk made in the wwestern part of the U.S. A lot of these ideas that Polk carried to the White House, were probably seasoned and hammered out with Rencher and Owen in Polk's young days in Chatham and Orange, in the early 1800's. But with the Oregon and New Mexico Territory gains its amazing that how the world sees itself in relationship to the U.S. with past history of wars, instituions and industries that have evolved beyond the Mississippi since the 1850's--all of this the part essence of the U.S. historically, could be attributed to the Owen, Rencher and Polk associations in the early 19th century.
