    United States wanted Macedonia independent back in 1783

    United States wanted Macedonia independent back in 1783



    April 13, 2012





    John Adams, one of US founding fathers, in a statement written back on July 14th, 1783 to the first US State Secretary Robert Livingston, clearly stated he wanted to see Macedonia as well as Greece independent from Ottoman rule.

    Unfortunately for some Balkan nations (including Macedonia), it was the French, Prussians (Germany) who decided who gets independence.

    The US president was well aware of the French and the Germans pushing their own agendas on the Balkans.

    Adams then went on to describe the Greeks as people... 230 years later they are still described in the same way, “corrupted in their morals to such a degree, as to be a faithless, perfidious race, destitute of courage...” Ouch!

    I find this hard to believe
    I know of two tragic histories in the world- that of Ireland, and that of Macedonia. Both of them have been deprived and tormented.
