"The English Renaissance lasted from about 1580 to 1626, and produced some of the world's most outstanding literature. At the core of this output was Sir Francis Bacon, a prodigious writer and philosopher. By opening the rational world to the creative mind, Bacon set the foundations upon which modern society has been built. In his major work, The Advancement of Learning, Bacon proposed the Novum Organum, a "new tool" for the rational mind: inductive reasoning. Better-known today as the scientific method, inductive reasoning replaced the syllogistic simplicity of Aristotelian deductive reasoning with the creative act of hypothesis and experiment. Consider Bacon's statement:
"If a man will begin with certainties,
he will end in doubts;
but if he will be content to begin with doubts,
he will end in certainties.""

"This presentation reviews the life and works of Francis Bacon through five galleries of images while introducing Bacon's writings, philosophy, and political yearnings. The final gallery contains a potentially explosive revelation -- that Sir Francis Bacon may have been the unacknowledged son of Queen Elizabeth."

CONFEDERATE TRAITORS? In a very strong letter to the Richmond Examiner just prior to December 8, 1863, John Minor Botts argued that he had done nothing traitorous in regards to his country. Rather he said that he wants "a Government that has the will and power to protect my person and my property against all abuses; and that I would prefer living as I did before the war, to living as I have done since the war, is beyond all question, and I would be a madman or a fool if I were to pretend otherwise." Botts was further quoted as stating: "You complain of the treatment of Mr. Vallandigham has received at the hands of his government. He made many violent speeches, in which he took active and strong grounds against his Government; for this he was sent amongst his friends, as they supposed. But I have done nothing, taken no part, but maintained firmly and consistently, as I shall continue to do, my own private opinions, and the conviction of my best judgment, which has not been controlled by any considerations of selfishness, ambition, or fear."

Member of Virginia State Legislature 1833-1839. U. S. Representative from Virginia 1839-1849. He was a political enemy of President John Tyler and a close friend of Henry Clay. He opposed secession.

He was involved in dealings with Lincoln to prevent the War up to the night before Lincoln's ships sailed to "resupply" Fort Sumter which provoked the War.

First day of March 1862 Habeas Corpus suspended in Virginia and marshall law effected. A hundred men under Captain Goodwyn, under General Winder (Andersonville), take John Minor Botts prisoner in solitary confinement in a small jail nearby.

"Auburn," located in Culpeper County, Virginia was deceded to John Minor Botts on December 10, 1862 as payment for legal council by Franklin Stearns.

John Minor was under confederate house arrest at "
Auburn" in virginia during the War. Auburn was the site where Stuart and 2,000 CSA Calvery narrowly avoided capture. Auburn is close to the Culpeper Court House.

John Minor was the author of "The Great Rebellion, Its Secret History, Rise, Progress and Disatrous Failure." 1866
