Snubs against John Jay

Looking at New York celebrations of the Fourth of July, I saw your festival. I was wondering if you would ever like a presentation from John Jay. John Jay is consistently snubbed in books and presentations about the American Revolution. Here are some current snubs: In a new book "Of Arms and Artists" John Jay's picture is cut out of the Signing of the Treaty of Paris


In the otherwise great work "John Adams" on HBO, Jefferson gets the spotlight in Paris and there is not a peep on John Jay. Since Franklin was ill and Adams was in Holland, Jay did a lot of the negotiating and drafting the Treaty.

In the recent "Turn" series on AMC, Jay is also not mentioned. However, if you go on the CIA website, you will see that the three most influential spymasters of the American Revolution were Washington, Franklin and Jay.

If you look at the evidence, Jay was the director of the Committee for Discovering Conspiracies. In the period coming up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence, John Jay's committee sniffed out a conspiracy to kidnap and kill Washington. Consider if Jay had not sniffed out the plot to kidnap and kill Washington. What would have happened to the American Revolution and the signers of the Declaration of Independence if Washington had been killed.

When I went to Fraunces Tavern in 2015, there was nothing showing the work that Jay did to establish trade with many nations as the Secretary of Foreign Affairs 1784 to 1789 and the first Secretary of State from April 30, 1789 until May 1790. Nations from Asia, Africa and Europe started their contact with the United States trough John Jay. When I brought this to the attention of Fraunces Tavern, I told them that I wrote about and appeared in character as John Jay. "John Jay is not feeling the love, man." The attendant smiled in agreement.

John Jay will have his day. He is just the Founding Father that our times needs. As the second governor of New York, he outlawed slavery. He helped start a Free African School in New York City. Jay was a good friend of William Wilberforce in England.

You can see my books on Amazon. The newest book 1787 FAITH is dedicated to John Jay.
