I think the difference, which undoubtedly will always be the difference, resides within the depth of the research undertaken in exploring the long debated and very real possibility put before you.
So real was the threat and cause that Jefferson himself would later write of his opinion that if the French were allowed to colonize in the Louisiana territory that it would leave the Americans no choice but to bed with the British. This illustrates just how strong the French/Bonaparte support in this country really was. Pretty amazing bit of history once you're aware of its existence and its looming threat and what brought that threat to an end, many of the how's & whys, etc.
From 1817 to 1821 a war of supremacy was being quietly waged in the borderlands and men from Bedford County were there, big money being there as well, money that was sent back east with a plan for distribution, these dates of shipment being in "exact" correlation with the dates of the two Beale deposits. In years afterwords we discover two documented accounts complaining of failed distributions, the source of both accounts originating from individuals who were directly involved in the affairs and wealth in the borderlands, at least one of these shipments very likely involving Mexico Sherman of Bedford County, Virginia.
The physical activities in the Beale story took place between 1817-1821 and it involved two shipments of secret wealth coming from west to east, these dates of deposits correlating "exactly" with the dates of two very important events concerning the borderlands, also two secret shipments of wealth that were to be distributed as promised. These two deposits, as we are told in the pamphlet, were never distributed as intended. John Sherman was the editor of press that produced the Beale Pamphlet, his uncle was Mexico Sherman, a man who was in and out of the borderlands from 1817-1821. Beale and his party supposedly got their wealth from an area in Colorado that was part of the borderland battle for supremacy.
But you guys are right, there is no possible connection at all in any of the above.
NO needs for "put-downs"; YOU are defending your R & I for YOUR book... CONNECTIONS; or is it in FRENCH...? Do a "Spoiler's Alert", and tell us about the "SECRET WEALTH" deposited. NO evidence of Mexico Sherman in Bedford County, Va.
