Excerpt: ... of this Government that is the Charter Government of Pennsylvania. "You are directed to make Report of your Proceedings to this House. "Signed by order of the House: "November 9, i775. JOHN MORTON, Speaker." Thus the delegates of Pennsylvania in the Second Continental Congress were bound by those instructions of the Assembly of the Province--which were much more explicitly and positively expressed against independence than the instructions given to the delegates to the First Continental Congress20--not to vote for independence of Great Britain. On the 28th of November the Assembly of New Jersey likewise bound the delegates of that colony to resist any attempt to bring on independence.21 The instructions to the New Jersey delegates were as follows: "i. Resolved, That reports of Independency, 20 Votes and Proceedings of the House of Representatives of the Province of Pennsylvania: Philadelphia, 1776, volume VI, page 587. 21 Minutes of the Provincial Congress and the Council of Safety of the State of New Jersey, Trenton, 1879, page 300. in the apprehension of this House, are groundless. "2. Resolved, That it be recommended to the Delegates of the Colony to use their utmost endeavours for the obtaining a redress of American grievances and for restoring the union between the Colonies and Great Britain, upon constitutional principles. "3. Resolved, That the said Delegates be directed not to give their assent to, but utterly to reject any proposition, if such should be made that they may separate this Colony from the Mother Country, or change the form of Government thereof." On the i4th of December the Provincial Congress of New York said that the people of New York were still loyal to the Crown and the state of unrest and turmoil in New York...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Willing Letters and Papers: Edited With a Biographical Essay of Thomas Willing of Philadelphia, 1731-1821 There is only one thing in the career of Thomas Willing of which, as one of his descendants, I am not proud. That is that his firm sold slaves. Of course it was in accord with the custom of the times; everyone did it in the colonial period. With this exception, however, the descendants of Thomas Willing can look upon his whole career with great pride. In this connection I take a personal pleas ure in the fact that my paternal grandfather manumitted his slaves in Frederick County, Mary land, in the late twenties and the early thirties of the nineteenth century.

Download or read book Thomas Barclay 1728 1793 written by Priscilla H. Roberts and published by Associated University Presse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the first-ever biography of Thomas Barclay, the first American consul to serve the United States abroad and the man who, in 1786, successfully negotiated our first treaty with an Arab, African, or Muslim nation. It is the story of an Ulster-born immigrant building his fortune as a Philadelphia merchant in international trade, then losing it as he gives priority to his adopted country's fight to gain and build on independence. It tells how, after emigrating to Philadelphia in the 1760s, Barclay became a leading member of the Irish community, a successful merchant/ship owner, and political activist. This biography follows his move to France with his wife and three small children when the Continental Congress named him consul in 1781. There, before an American consular service existed, before Congress knew a consul from a consul general, Thomas Barclay did whatever was needed, wherever it was needed. To shipping, naval, and other tasks, Congress added an audit of American public expenditures in Europe since 1776. Then Jefferson and Adams added diplomacy in Barbary, where Barclay negotiated a rare tribute-free treaty of commerce and amity with the Sultan of Morocco. His personal relationships with Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson reveal as much about them as about him. On assignment for President Washington in 1793, he became the first American diplomat to die in a foreign country in the service of the United States."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book The Disaffected written by Aaron Sullivan and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2019-02-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth and Henry Drinker of Philadelphia were no friends of the American Revolution. Yet neither were they its enemies. The Drinkers were a merchant family who, being Quakers and pacifists, shunned commitments to both the Revolutionaries and the British. They strove to endure the war uninvolved and unscathed. They failed. In 1777, the war came to Philadelphia when the city was taken and occupied by the British army. Aaron Sullivan explores the British occupation of Philadelphia, chronicling the experiences of a group of people who were pursued, pressured, and at times persecuted, not because they chose the wrong side of the Revolution but because they tried not to choose a side at all. For these people, the war was neither a glorious cause to be won nor an unnatural rebellion to be suppressed, but a dangerous and costly calamity to be navigated with care. Both the Patriots and the British referred to this group as "the disaffected," perceiving correctly that their defining feature was less loyalty to than a lack of support for either side in the dispute, and denounced them as opportunistic, apathetic, or even treasonous. Sullivan shows how Revolutionary authorities embraced desperate measures in their quest to secure their own legitimacy, suppressing speech, controlling commerce, and mandating military service. In 1778, without the Patriots firing a shot, the king's army abandoned Philadelphia and the perceived threat from neutrals began to decline—as did the coercive and intolerant practices of the Revolutionary regime. By highlighting the perspectives of those wearied by and withdrawn from the conflict, The Disaffected reveals the consequences of a Revolutionary ideology that assumed the nation's people to be a united and homogenous front.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unassuming but formidable, American maritime insurers used their position at the pinnacle of global trade to shape the new nation. The international information they gathered and the capital they generated enabled them to play central roles in state building and economic development. During the Revolution, they helped the U.S. negotiate foreign loans, sell state debts, and establish a single national bank. Afterward, they increased their influence by lending money to the federal government and to its citizens. Even as federal and state governments began to encroach on their domain, maritime insurers adapted, preserving their autonomy and authority through extensive involvement in the formation of commercial law. Leveraging their claims to unmatched expertise, they operated free from government interference while simultaneously embedding themselves into the nation's institutional fabric. By the early nineteenth century, insurers were no longer just risk assessors. They were nation builders and market makers. Deeply and imaginatively researched, Underwriters of the United States uses marine insurers to reveal a startlingly original story of risk, money, and power in the founding era.
