Anyone see the article about the USA once having a historic plan to take/invade Jamaica, Barbados and Bermuda?
Anybody else catch de news story today? Saying that the United States at one time had a plan that if they went to war with Britain they would take over Britain's Carib'n islands and turn them into US States and territories???
Anyone else see it?

"Red" = Britain
"Crimson" = Canada

The planners anticipated a war "of long duration" because "the RED race" is "more or less phlegmatic" but "noted for its ability to fight to a finish." Also, the Brits could be reinforced by "colored" troops from their colonies.
The stakes were high: If the British and Canadians won the war, the planners predicted, "CRIMSON will demand that Alaska be awarded to her."
Imagine that! Canada demanding a huge chunk of U.S. territory! Them's fightin' words! And so the American strategists planned to fight England by seizing Canada. (Also Jamaica, Barbados and Bermuda.) And they didn't plan to give them back.

“Blue intentions are to hold in perpetuity all CRIMSON and RED territory gained,” Army planners wrote in an appendix to the war plan.
“The policy will be to prepare the provinces and territories of CRIMSON and RED to become states and territories of the BLUE union upon the declaration of peace.”
