"Plan for the defense of the Province of Louisiana," by [Colonel Francisco Bouligny]
title
"Plan for the defense of the Province of Louisiana," by [Colonel Francisco Bouligny]
Subject
Documents, Politics & government, Plans, Military tactics
Date created ms
circa 1798, circa 1798
Abstract
The Plan proposed Spanish removal of the Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws,and Creeks from the area east of the Mississippi River and north of the 31st parallel and their resettlement in the Spanish territory bounded by the Mississippi, Red, and Osage Rivers. There, it was hoped, they might form a protective buffer against the incursions of Anglo-Americans into the Spanish territories of Texas, New Mexico, and northern Mexico. The incoming tribes would be urged to make peace with the Indians already residing and hunting on the land. All would be bound by a treaty of mutual friendship and would be ruled by a single chief. The document estimated the number of persons involved in the move and the number into which they would be assimilated. All Indians would be given sufficient territory for hunting grounds, which would be interdicted to white hunters. White settlers would be established along the Mississippi to prevent the entrance of unauthorized persons and to protect the Indians. It would be advantageous to instruct a group of Creoles or Europeans in the Indians' ways that they might dwell among them and supervise the system, along with a military regiment of 500 to 800 men, who would be assigned, one or two soldiers for every hundred hunters.

circa 1798, circa 1798
Abstract
Each vessel entering or leaving the harbor had to present a detailed manifest of cargo on board so that the government might maintain records of all goods imported and exported. Annual figures were to be compiled and submitted to the King for his study. Officials were also to keep extensive data on articles of primary necessity imported into the Province, including prices, shipping costs, place of origin, and quality. The statistics were to serve as guidelines for imports to prevent future shortages and to suggest the establishment of factories in Spain to manufacture the same goods. Steps were to be taken to expand shipbuilding facilities, and foreign construction techniques had to be studied to attain superiority over other nations in that field. Export figures were to be accumulated and analyzed, and the export of timber and tobacco was to be encouraged. The public was to be persuaded to abandon the pernicious practice of contraband.
