This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Plea for the Confederation of the Colonies of British North America: Addressed to the People and Parliament of Prince Edward Island AT a crisis of transition in the history of British North America, when its component Colonies, nurtured from infancy to adolescence by the fos tering care of the Parent Government, are regarded by her most experienced and sagacious statesmen as having reached a stage of developement that clearly indicates the expediency and necessity of the inauguration of a new form of government and administration, it behooves every patriotic and loyal subject of our gracious Sovereign on this Island, dispassionately and With becoming deference, to weigh the grounds upon Which Her Majesty's ministers so earnestly desiderate the adoption by all the Colonies concerned, of the general principles of Confederation enunciated in several important dispatches. It can to no one be matter of surprise, that un toward events of recent occurrence, threatening the peace and security of these Colonies, and eu dangering their connection with the Parent State, have greatly increased the desire previously felt among all classes of political parties in Great Brit ain, that we should be bound together by the strong ligature of a common constitution, based upon the principles of equal justice to all, and adapted to promote the progressive prosperity of each. The projected plan of our Union which, it is plain, can not any longer be denied our practical consideration, it is freely acknowledged, is one of imposing magnitude, and obviously fraught with momentous issues, alike to ourselves and to pos terity. Be it remembered, however, that it has not been entertained by the statesmen of England, and offered to our consideration and acceptance Without profound and protracted investigation Without having been contemplated in all its aspects and scrutinized in all its bearings and connections, immediate and remote, by minds as enlightened and discriminating as any on earth - minds, moreover, above all suspicion as to the disinterested charac ter of the motives by which they are actuated in desiring the association in one brotherhood of Canada and these maritime Provinces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from State of the British and French Colonies in North America: With Respect to Number of Peoples, Forces, Forts, Indians, Trade and Other Advantages All their fecurity lay in our incon 'ancy, Our levity, our negligence and want of harmony among our commanders. It is by this means, concludes Cbarlcevmx, that they have remained mailers of fo many important polls; out of which we have driven them as often as we have attacked them. There has been but too much ground for this bravado fince that author wrote, whatever there might have been before: what is more, he has had not only the fatisfaelion to fee his remark confirmed by his countrymen driving us our of almol't all thofe important polls again; but alfo the plea fure to find that they have mended of the fault with which he accufed them about thirty years ago of net preferving tbert Colonies: for to our fhame be it fpoken, they have kept every im portant place which they had taken, .and likewife greatly'improved their advantages by building forts, not only Upon, but far within our frontiers. This is their glory 3 this is our difgrace. The point now in queflion is how to wipe off the fiain and retrieve Our affairs. The proper way, indeed, to remove the external evils, would be to cure the internal one, which was the caufe of them but as there is not time qicient for that, while the enemy is already at the gates, our fitlt care mul't be to drive them from thence, and te cover our loft trade as well as territories: after which let them apply feriou y to reform abufes within, and put the Colonies on a footing, which may prevent their falling into the fame unhappy circumfiances any more. Unlefs the laf't of thofe two expedients be f'tedfaf'tly refolved on we had as good look on {till without concern, and fulfer the French to continue their encroachments! For, to what purpofe will it be to put the nation to a great expence, 3i expence, borh of blood and treafure, only to do what Charle'vor'x ttpbraids his countrymen with havingdone, lofe in alittle time again what may be with great difficulty acquired P As the French have mended of that fault, it is hoped their ex ample will prevail on us to mend too.

This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Massachusetts in the American Revolution While the outbreak and progress of the revolution incontestably led to a great ex pansion of the human mind, that movement was felt rather in the field and the council, than in the closet or the schools. The war against England, which requiredfor its successful prosecution great powers and distinguished talents, happily appeared to create and to foster both. Whenever the occasion arose, there were always found men worthy of the occasion. Those who had manifested no special commanding faculties in the piping times of peace, were found, under the rousing stimulus of war.

Download or read book Resisting Independence written by Brad A. Jones and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Resisting Independence, Brad A. Jones maps the loyal British Atlantic's reaction to the American Revolution. Through close study of four important British Atlantic port cities—New York City; Kingston, Jamaica; Halifax, Nova Scotia; and Glasgow, Scotland—Jones argues that the revolution helped trigger a new understanding of loyalty to the Crown and empire. This compelling account reimagines Loyalism as a shared transatlantic ideology, no less committed to ideas of liberty and freedom than the American cause and not limited to the inhabitants of the thirteen American colonies. Jones reminds readers that the American Revolution was as much a story of loyalty as it was of rebellion. Loyal Britons faced a daunting task—to refute an American Patriot cause that sought to dismantle their nation's claim to a free and prosperous Protestant empire. For the inhabitants of these four cities, rejecting American independence thus required a rethinking of the beliefs and ideals that framed their loyalty to the Crown and previously drew together Britain's vast Atlantic empire. Resisting Independence describes the formation and spread of this new transatlantic ideology of Loyalism. Loyal subjects in North America and across the Atlantic viewed the American Revolution as a dangerous and violent social rebellion and emerged from twenty years of conflict more devoted to a balanced, representative British monarchy and, crucially, more determined to defend their rights as British subjects. In the closing years of the eighteenth century, as their former countrymen struggled to build a new nation, these loyal Britons remained convinced of the strength and resilience of their nation and empire and their place within it.
