Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative and Critical History of America, Vol. 6 Probably no one more heartily detested the claims of the prerogative than Franklin; and yet the phase which the controversy had assumed compelled him to take high prerogative ground. Such was his position with regard to the Stamp Act, as is seen in the note below.3 Andros him self could have asked for nothing better, in 1686; and when Franklin was asked what the king could do, should the colonies refuse just requisitions, he had no other answer than this, - that they would not refuse!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative and Critical History of America, Vol. 6: Part 1 English or colonial markets, more than it affected New England, whose great staples, lumber, fish, oil, ashes, and furs, were free to find their best market, provided only they were sent in English or colonial vessels. British merchants not satisfied with this monopoly procured a more strin gent act ih 1663, which provided that no commodity, the growth, product, or manufacture of Europe, Should be imported into the colonies, except in English-built ships, sailing from English ports. By this act England became the sole market in which the colonists could purchase the prod ucts or manufactures of Europe, nor could they send their own ships for them, unless English-built or bought before October 1, 1662. They were obliged to buy in English markets and import in English vessels.1 This discouraged ship-building for the European trade in a country full Of tim ber, and compelled the payment of charges and profits to English factors dealing in Continental goods for the American market. By these two acts British merchants had undertaken to monopolize, with certain exceptions, the carrying trade of the colonies and their markets for the sale and the purchase of goods. But avarice was not satisfied. There had grown up a trade, especially profitable to New England, with the Southern colonies which were without shipping. By the act of 1660, for eign and intercolonial trade in certain articles was permitted, with the expectation that it Would be limited to necessary local supply. But Boston merchants, shipping to that port tobacco and some other colonial products in excess of the local demand, sent the surplus to Continental Europe, with out payment of British or colonial duties, and thus undersold the British trader, who had paid heavy import duties. To suppress this profitable irregularity, it was enacted in 1672 that the enumerated products shipped to other colonies Should be first transported to England, and thence to the purchasing colony. The colonial merchants had the option, however, of bringing tobacco, for instance, from Virginia direct to Massachusetts, first paying an export duty equivalent to the English import duty?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative and Critical History of America, Vol. 8 The Count of Lemos also exerted himself in defence of the Indians. He prohibited the abuse of having what were called Indios de faltriquera, or supernumeraries, forcibly carried off to be ready to serve in place of any who might be able to buy themselves off. He reduced the mz'ita at Potosi from to and he went so far as to urge that the mz'ita should be entirely abolished, and that the mines should be worked by voluntary labor. The viceroy was attacked by a dangerous illness at Lima, which carried him off, at the age of thirty-eight, on December 6, 1672. His body was buried in the church of San Pedro, while his heart was deposited in the Church of the Desamparados, at the foot of Our Lady of the Forsaken Ones. The countess returned to Spain with her children, and the senior judge took charge until the arrival of the Count of Castellar, the new viceroy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Liberty The necessity of teaching, not only to young Americans but to all prospective Americans, the meaning and mis sion of political liberty has but lately found expression in the movement known as Americanization. What is liberty as exemplified in American institutions? Where and how did it originate? Through what struggles and triumphs has it advanced? What peoples have always been its defenders, and how have its influence and bless ings been finally extended to include all nations of the earth? It is upon a knowledge of the facts implied in such questions as these that young American Citizens, whether native or foreign-born, are to become truly Americanized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Nothing short of a masterpiece.” —NPR Books A New York Times Bestseller and a Washington Post Notable Book of the Year In the most ambitious one-volume American history in decades, award-winning historian Jill Lepore offers a magisterial account of the origins and rise of a divided nation. Widely hailed for its “sweeping, sobering account of the American past” (New York Times Book Review), Jill Lepore’s one-volume history of America places truth itself—a devotion to facts, proof, and evidence—at the center of the nation’s history. The American experiment rests on three ideas—“these truths,” Jefferson called them—political equality, natural rights, and the sovereignty of the people. But has the nation, and democracy itself, delivered on that promise? These Truths tells this uniquely American story, beginning in 1492, asking whether the course of events over more than five centuries has proven the nation’s truths, or belied them. To answer that question, Lepore wrestles with the state of American politics, the legacy of slavery, the persistence of inequality, and the nature of technological change. “A nation born in contradiction… will fight, forever, over the meaning of its history,” Lepore writes, but engaging in that struggle by studying the past is part of the work of citizenship. With These Truths, Lepore has produced a book that will shape our view of American history for decades to come.
