Or simply stole the whole place and now you are belaboring someone else who might be doing the same thing ;-) -- Cheers, John B. England and France conquered North America while Spain and Portugal were doing the same thing with more brutality in Central and South America. Right from the start they disputed the borders between their claims, the current issues aren't new or unusual.

For round about $1,000 in modern money. Given the availability of trade goods in America at the time it was probably viewed by the recipients as a fortune. -- Cheers, John B. |
