Fort Ball Tiffin Ohio

One of the most profound aspects about dealing with both history and the study of history is the concept of perception.

Example in CNN today if you support POTUS 45, they say things every few minutes on their news and opinion broadcasts which will make your blood boil because what they are saying is either untrue or it is a missrepresentaiton of the fact as you and your group see them. The exact same thing is happening on FOX. for those who liked Barak Obama, the same level of vitriol poured out of the mouths of conservives sduring those 9 years was “not that bad, we were critical of Obama, but we were always loyal Americans”. The Vitriol from the left regarding #45 is so far over the line it is unacceptable in all sizes, shapes, and forms. It is just disgusting to listen to the left describe the actions of 45 and not react badly.

Everything is about perspective.

The problem about the history of Tiffin is that the city of Tiffin itself from 1754-1890 is almost exclusively as hard line political as humanity possibly. The several sides of the wars which occurred in that 140 years were equal to the rage and nastiness of the Third Reich but in this case the Third Reich won, so the Third Reich were allowed to write the history they chose to, and in so doing they destroyed all evidence of what disagreed with them.

For a considerable time, several of the newspapers in Tiffin were formed by a cult of people thologically loyal to Andrew Jackson and his philosophy. Jacksons philosophy was that slavery was the only way to go, the Federal Governmnet was a waste of time and money. That big cities should only be so big, and they should be regulated to not grow beyond a certain size. That the needs of plantations would be the one and only focus of the American Economy. Slaves were not only needed but they were a absolute divine right. That god made the natives of Africa dark and a subspecies in order to maximize work but to minimize their brain capacity. In Tiffin from day one the cult of the Jacksonisna was strong and substantial. From day one the perspective of pro-slavery has been one of the cornerstones from which the entire Tiffin cultural philosophy is based on and from.

The strongest example of this perspective issue is the idea of impeachment. The GOP demanded that Obama be impeached months before he took the oath of office, despite absolutely no evidence in anyway, shape, or form he did anything at all wrong. His successor the same exact people who screamed or Obama to be impeached are defending 45 with every fiber of their being “the current presedent has done absolutely, possibility, nothing wrong in any way, shape, or form in which to be impeached over. There is absolutely no evidence in any way that 45 has done anything wrong.” That perspective from a GOP side si solid and unmovable, the concept of impeachment from a democratic side is solid and unmovable this is the problem about the foundation of Fort Ball and its history not being written by historians but being written by people so loyal to their own unique perspective that it is close to absolutely impossible for truth to surface which contradicts the accepted fictions of the founding of the city of Tiffin.

The hatred regarding having its authority questioned is also a very strong part of

Fort Ball was in a sequence of Forts designed as a relay/support system. A large and elaborate sequence of forts were built up and down the Sandusky and related rivers in order to create a dynasmti military response system to form up enough military to sieze control over the Ohio River Basin and its power base.

The real city had been in existence for a century before the small settlement next to the original Fort Ball was built. The Original Fort Ball was built as close to the location of the Heidelberg Library as possible. The aim was to over the years and decades to slowly close in on the defenses the British Ogles had put into place and to eventually size control over the library. Then seize the library at Heidelberg itself, which would allow for

During this Month in Seneca County History – July 1813 – So many of us go about our daily lives without giving much thought to the roll that our part of Ohio played in American history, over 200 years ago. During the War of 1812, General William Henry Harrison built a chain of forts northward, along the Sandusky River Valley, starting in the south with “Fort Ferree” in what is now Upper Sandusky, “Fort Ball” in what is now Tiffin, “Fort Seneca” in what is now Old Fort, and “Fort Stephenson” in what is now Fremont.

Today’s photo (top) is an illustration from Lang’s History of Seneca County, of how Fort Seneca looked, located along the banks of the Sandusky River in 1813. The bottom photo shows the historical marker in Old Fort, Ohio that marks the location of Fort Seneca. The marker is at the intersection of County Road 51 and Harrison Street, on the right when traveling north on County Road 51. Below is what is written on the marker telling the history of Fort Seneca during the War of 1812.

“This tablet marks the site of Fort Seneca built in July 1813 by Major General William Henry Harrison during the War of 1812 with Great Britain; and also marks the military road known as the "Harrison Trail" blazed through the forest in 1812 by General Bell, by order of General Harrison, over which to transport military supplies and food for the army and the forts along the Sandusky River.

At this fort he maintained his headquarters during the battle of Fort Stephenson and the naval battle on Lake Erie known as "Perry's Victory" and here received from Commodore Perry his famous message, "We have met the enemy and they are ours."

Here the chiefs and warriors of the four friendly tribes of Indians, the Delawares, Shawnees, Wyandots, and Senecas, who in council at Franklinton had pledged their loyalty to General Harrison, joined his army for the invasion of Canada. In that campaign they rendered valuable service against the British which resulted in the defeat of General Procter and the death of Chief Tecumseh at the Battle of the Thames.

The following officers served under General Harrison at the fort: Brigadier Generals Cass and McArthur; Colonels Ball, Bartlett, Owings, Paull and Wells; Majors Croghan, Graham, Holmes, Hukill, Smiley, Todd, Trigg, and Wood.”
