EIC

3 min read

This paper argues that the British East India Company (EIC) and other powerful entities supported the American Revolution, not out of solidarity, but to gain influence over a new nation and bypass the established power of England. The author claims that the EIC had already infiltrated the colonies and that the Revolution was essentially a dispute between England and the EIC over control of America. The paper highlights the similar flags of the EIC and the first American flag, and the naming of the colonial navy’s flagship, USS Alfred, after an English monarch, as evidence of EIC influence. It then delves into the backgrounds of several key figures in the American Revolution, including Thomas Willing, Robert Morris, Haym Salomon, Francis Baring, Thomas Law, William Duer, and Alexander Hamilton, suggesting that many of them had direct or indirect ties to the EIC or British aristocracy and financial networks. The establishment of the First Bank of the United States, largely funded by English and Dutch investors, is presented as further proof of EIC control. The paper concludes by suggesting that the EIC and English bankers were effectively on the American side, and this relationship will be further explored in a subsequent part concerning the War of 1812 and the Second Bank of the United States.
