Radio talk show host MICHAEL SAVAGE was discussing
this law on Friday night.
The World Book encyclopedia for 1950 says that
the WHOLE PURPOSE the ALIEN & SEDITION ACT of 1798
was to suppress Thomas Jefferson in his attempt to
become President. He was running against John Adams.
Adams was a member of the Federalist party.
There were 10 writers and speakers from other countries
who were highly sympathetic to Jefferson becoming
President of the United States. It was against
these ten writers that the ALIEN and SEDITION ACT
was focused upon.
Jefferson of course won the election.
And then in 1809 while Jefferson was still President
these same members of the FEDERALIST PARTY tried
to secede from the Union. This was called the
ESSEX JUNTA. Centered in ESSEX COUNTY MASSACHUSETTS
the ESSEX JUNTA attempted to SECEDE MASSACHUSETTS,
CONNECTICUT and RHODE ISLAND from the Union.
It was JOHN QUINCY ADAMS who warned PRESIDENT JEFFERSON
of the attempt at secession. JEFFERSON gave the
ESSEX JUNTA BOYS what they wanted. WHatever that was.
The real starter of the ALIEN & SEDITION ACT was
Benjamin Franklins son who was editor of a Philadelphia
newspaper. Franklins son discovered that money
was secretly being moved from the United States to
King George the THIRD. He then printed a story
regarding this.
This was the main event which led to the ALIEN & SEDITION
ACT. JEFFERSON & MADISON responeded with the KENTUCKY
and VIRGINIA RESOLUTIONS. Further on down the pike
a bit was SENATOR JOHN CALHOUNS " NULLIFICATION ACT "
This act put forth by the State Legislature of the
State of South Carolina led to the Civil War.
