Pontotoc stele found in Oklahoma. It is attributed as the work of Iberian colonists in America. The name Iberian peninsula is typically associated with the African Moor. This stele depicts the life-giving rays of the sun descending upon the earth below. According to Barry Fell, the letters on the left spell “Start of Dawn” – and on the right, “Dusk” with the crescent moon. The phrases in two of the panels translate as “When Ball-Ra rises in the east, the beasts are content, and (when he hides his face) they are displeased.” This is a copy from the Hymn to Aton by Pharaoh Akhenaton. Akhenaton’s hymn dates to 1300BC, yet this version found in ancient America is dated at around 800BC.

 In addition, he has allegedly translated the so-called Pontotoc stele of Oklahoma as an extract from the “Hymn to Aton”, a chant of the pharaoh Akhnaton, dating from the 13th century B.C., although Fell says the Oklahoma version can scarcely be older than about 800 B.C., believing it was the work of an early Iberian colonist writing in the script from the Cachao-da-Rapa region of northern Portugal. Similarly he writes that the Davenport stele of Iowa has three separate scripts,- Egyptian hieroglyphics alongside Iberian and Libyan scripts. Previously these stelae had been considered as fakes. Fell’s interesting hypotheses have not yet been generally accepted and seem to have been more or less ignored by the professional archeologists. (Ref. 122)

In the Cochise area of southwest United States a new and more vigorous strain of corn was imported from Mexico about 1,000 B.C. A new plant, the red kidney bean, also appeared as the Cochise began to build simple pit-houses and group themselves together in small villages. As agricultural activities made easier living, they had time to develop early pottery forms and soon figurines of people and animals. Findings in the refuse of the Ventana Cave, some 100 miles from Tucson, have revealed these gradual changes from hunter to farmer. (Ref. 210)

Confiscation Act of 1861

The Confiscation Act of 1861 was an act of Congress during the early months of the American Civil War permitting court proceedings for confiscation of any of property being used to support the Confederate independence effort, including slaves.

The bill passed the House of Representatives 60-48 and in the Senate 24-11. Abraham Lincoln was reluctant to sign the act; he felt that, in light of the Confederacy’s recent battlefield victories, the bill would have no practical effect and might be seen as a desperate move. He was also worried that it could be struck down as unconstitutional, which would set a precedent that might derail future attempts at emancipation. Only personal lobbying by several powerful Senators persuaded Lincoln to sign the legislation, which he did on August 6, 1861.[1] Due to the fact that the bill was based on military emancipation, no judicial proceedings were required and therefore Lincoln gave Attorney General Edward Bates no instructions on enforcing the bill. Within a year of its passage, tens of thousands of slaves had been freed by the First Confiscation Act.[2]

With respect to slaves, the act authorized court proceedings to strip their owners of any claim to them but did not clarify whether the slaves were free.[3] As a result of this ambiguity, these slaves came under Union lines as property in the care of the U.S. government. In response to this situation, General David Hunter, the Union Army military commander of GeorgiaSouth Carolina, and Florida, issued General Order No. 11 on May 9, 1862 freeing all slaves in areas under his command.[4] Upon hearing of Hunter’s action one week later, Lincoln immediately countermanded the order,[5] thus returning the slaves to their former status as property in the care of the federal government.[6]

Before the act was passed, Benjamin Franklin Butler had been the first Union general to declare slaves as contraband. Some other Northern commanders followed this precedent, while officers from the border states were more likely to return escaped slaves to their masters. The Confiscation Act was an attempt to set a consistent policy throughout the army.
