Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

From this conduct have flow’d those streams of innocent blood with which our frontiers have been drench’d for many years. Soon as war was proclaim’d with the Indians, (e) you opened a correspondence with them, you created a King among them, (f) and him you supported for several years as your Deputy-Enemy to the Proprietor, and the poor inhabitants of our frontiers. You taught him to accuse the Proprietor. (g) The Indians also say, and we have much reason to believe it, that you persuaded them to kill the frontier inhabitants.
