When he (William Thompson Howell) returned to Jonesville after the passage of his bill, he was received by a procession of citizens, blowing tin horns, who derided him for his officious action. This shows how little the people know and respect their true benefactors.

The Annexation Of West Florida

Near Madisonville, Louisiana, Once Part Of The Florida Parishes

"The annexation of West Florida called forth protests from Spain and Great Britain. President Madison maintained that the annexed territory was a part of the Louisiana purchase."

"...a bill has been introduced in congress to indemnify the people of the Florida parishes for the lands to which their ancestors had a clear title. In support of their claim it may be adduced that the negotiations which led to the Louisiana purchase were primarily instituted for the purchase of a site for a depot near the mouth of the Mississippi, so that the commerce and exports of the west might be placed beyond the caprices of the authorities of Louisiana."
