For many years before the separation of Maine from Massachusetts there had been an active controversy regarding independent statehood for the District of Maine. It was discussed by the leading men, carried into the columns of the few newspapers then printed, and separation was attempted by residents of Maine, representatives to the General Court of Massachusetts, many years before separation took place and Maine was admitted to statehood in 1820. While many of the lead ing public men of the District were actively interested in separation. The one man who did more by his writings to influence both Maine and Massachusetts to an act which led to Maine's statehood was Moses Greenleaf - a most learned, intelligent, clear minded,-far-seeing publicist, and a man greatly in advance of his time and his con temporaries in grasping the question of separation, the Value of our natural resources and the importance of statehood for the District of Maine.
