All I can say is come to Virginia and I'll take you to the museums and let you see the documents and talk to the people there. Outside of that, quoting lines from any document isn't going to change anyone's minds here.
I stand by my comments. If you believe what's in your history books, then there's no point in further discussion. If you believe in actual time period documents, and researching it yourself, then we have a good place to start.
