Declaring War on Grafton (i was absent for this assignment)

1. Out of the three options you must propose a way to fund this war (if tax is chosen a plan for taxation must be presented, if borrowing money is chosen the Country, how much, and how we plan to repay them must be presented, if asking our population for money you must present whether you will use T-notes or bonds).
To fund this war I would probably do more than one of the options you have listed. I would probably ask the population of the County to help pay by using Bonds, I would use raise taxes on a few item sold throughout the county. I probably raise taxes on alcohol and tobacco products.

 2. You must decide our strategy for raising an army (If asking for a volunteer force what incentives will you provide, if instituting a draft what will be the requirements for eligibility, if hiring a mercenary force how will you pay them and how will you ensure they follow the County's wishes).
I would probably go with a volunteer force because I don't think it's right to force people to go to war. I'd give them the incentives of free college tuition and free medical insurance.

 3. You must propose a strategy for delivering  the soldiers their mail
Pony express all the way!!!

 4. You must ratify one or more of the treaties or propose a new treaty with another surrounding County.
I would probably make a treaty with Upshur, Harrison, and Randolph county because in my opinion those are the wealthiest counties, so it seems
