The report of the congressional committee appointed to evaluate the government of Mississippi Territory and the petition of the residents of West Florida what is now the southernmost portions Mississippi and Alabama to be annexed to that territory. The United States had supported the bloodless coup of Americans resident in what was then Spanish territory and annexed the land over Spain's bitter protests. Given the commercial stranglehold New Orleans and Louisiana would have on the region if West Florida were annexed to it thus giving Louisiana almost exclusive access to the Gulf the committee relying heavily on recent census data recommends that Mississippi be admitted to the Union and that West Florida as defined in the 1763 Treaty of Paris be annexed to it. The argument concludes: "The formation of new states on the southern extremity of the United States ought not to be delayed." An important step forward in the development of the Deep South. Scarce.

18115773London: Wednesday January 16 1811. Front-page article prints the declaration of James Madison that effectively claims the Eastern parishes of Louisiana for the United States in contradiction to the claims of Spain and equally to the claims of the local English-speaking residents to an independent state of West Florida. In 1803 the US and Spain disputed the territory as a population of English-speaking Americans grew in the area. The Americans attacked the Spanish fort at Baton Rouge on 23 September 1810 and declared an independent state.
