Most commentators—on the Right and the Left—have likened the improbable anti-establishment president, Donald Trump to Andrew Jackson, who once thumbed his nose at the bankers and the ruling elite in favor of common white Americans. I, however, would go further back. For starters, Trump seems unlikely to abolish central baking as Jackson did. So, as much as I adore Jackson, who slew a man ina duel, I look further back for an equivalent…

The coast of Virginia [1], from its capital of Jamestown [2], under a governor that served a distant European master [3], was the center of the Plantation system that exploited a majority of poor and enslaved whites numbering into the tens of thousands, making up the majority population, outnumbering blacks by 80-1. These working and landless whites lived between the wealthy on the coast and the savage warriors of the Native nations in the interior [4], who, paid by the governor to keep the whites inline, freely murdered and abducted whites, who were forbidden to strike a blow in their own defense or to seek vengeance. [5]

Nathaniel Bacon [6] emerged as a man of the wealthy elite who broke away from the slave master system, represented by the House of Burgesses, and wiped out the Native American fortress at the current site of Richmond in the Battle of Bloody Run, in which a stockpile of gunpowder was held by the Indians which exceeded all of that in possession of the rebels. Bacon then marched on Jamestown and burned it to the ground.

The belligerents were arrayed as so:

80% of the slave masters

10% of the white slaves

80% of the back slaves

100 % of the pirates

100% of the Indians

Backed by European banking interests and the British military [7]

20% of the slave masters

90% of the white slaves

100% of the vagabonds, rogues and escaped and discharged white slaves

20% of the black slaves

100% of the black “maroons” or escaped blacks living as primitive warriors in coastal woodlands

In the wings were the militias of other white plantation systems such as Maryland, whose leaders feared their men would go over to Bacon.

Unfortunately, Bacon died of a disease contracted while besieging Jamestown and his disorganized followers fell prey to a ruthless pirate captain and the arriving British military.

The question is

1. U.S. Coastal States

2. Washington D.C.

3. Global banking and media interests

4. Black Lives Matter and other anti-white anarcho-tyranny mob violence initiatives

5. Prohibitions against self-defense and firearms ownership in highly criminalized urban centers

6. Trump. Extreme presidential security measures taken in Manhattan on the morning of this writing seem to suggest that the U.S. Secret Service sees Trump as facing a similar mortal threat as Bacon.

7. Global banking and media interests I do not see a clear equivalent to the British military in this analogy.
