  • Pierre L'enfant and Benjamin Banneker
    www.amatterofmind.us From the desk of Pierre Beaudry Page 1 of 23 PIERRE L’ENFANT AND BENJAMIN BANNEKER: THE MANIFEST DESTINY OF WASHINGTON D.C. by Pierre Beaudry, January 5, 2001 INTRODUCTION: THE GRAND DESIGN OF MANIFEST DESTINY Some people said that the design for the city of Washington D.C. came from the heavens, that Pierre L’Enfant determined the location of the House of Congress, and the House of the President, in accordance with the stars, and that such an orientation was in concordance with the design of the MANIFEST DESTINY, which had inspired George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton. This is all true. Pierre L’Enfant, Andrew Ellicott, and Benjamin Banneker, reached to the heavens for their inalienable rights, and executed these Great Federal Improvements by means of which the Capital City of the United States was made to become, in the small, the historical microcosm of the nation as a whole. This report, will attempt to revive the sublime character of this enterprise, imposing by the greatness of its heroic effort, and yet humbling by the goodness and simplicity of its purpose. In all events, it is clear that Washington DC, was meant to become the first Capital city of the world, whose explicit function was to express the true measure of what can be accomplished with the genius of a people who is persistent in the fight for the freedom of all peoples, on the shores of America, as anywhere else in the world. There is no doubt that such a design required to be secured within the borders of history, and immortalized, for all centuries to come, by the creation, on this continent, of an entirely new city to be built, from the ground up; a city of “magnificent distances”, that would reflect, in spiritual and physical space-time, an old and revolutionary idea that could not be implemented on the old continent.
