Excerpt: ...for the defense of her neighbors, 3000 for the Canadian expedition, and 2000 for the rest of the war, making a total of 12,000. Trumbull, "History of Connecticut," I., 351. 'Trumbull, "History of Connecticut," I., 428. 4 The taxes, usually one, two, three, and at the greatest in times of peace four pence on the pound, had risen to seven or eight pence--" a ruinous rate for a poor and struggling agricultural commonwealth, whose own governmental expenses were kept down to the lowest point" (Johnston, "History of Connecticut," 254). The expenses of the government at this period were inconsiderable; they scarcely amounted to the salary of a King's Governor. "The exthe colony nor its financial astuteness had grown apace. The old system would not produce the required revenue, and the colonists knew of no other sound method, so they followed the treacherous course that their neighbors, Massachusetts Bay and Rhode Island, had already taken. June, 1709, the General Assembly was compelled to issue 8000 bills of credit.1 To redeem this issue a special tax of ten pence per pound was voted; it was to be paid in two annual installments. By this act, Connecticut inaugurated her policy of levying a tax, in conjunction with every issue of bills of credit, large enough to redeem the issue and to pay the expenses of collection. This policy was departed from in but few instances,2 and distinguishes this colony from her reckless neighbors, especially Rhode Island. From June, 1709, to October, 1713, including emissions to be exchanged for older issues, 40,500 were issued." During King George's War there were issued about 80,000, and during the French and Indian War, ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taxation in Colonial America examines life in the thirteen original American colonies through the revealing lens of the taxes levied on and by the colonists. Spanning the turbulent years from the founding of the Jamestown settlement to the outbreak of the American Revolution, Alvin Rabushka provides the definitive history of taxation in the colonial era, and sets it against the backdrop of enormous economic, political, and social upheaval in the colonies and Europe. Rabushka shows how the colonists strove to minimize, avoid, and evade British and local taxation, and how they used tax incentives to foster settlement. He describes the systems of public finance they created to reduce taxation, and reveals how they gained control over taxes through elected representatives in colonial legislatures. Rabushka takes a comprehensive look at the external taxes imposed on the colonists by Britain, the Netherlands, and Sweden, as well as internal direct taxes like poll and income taxes. He examines indirect taxes like duties and tonnage fees, as well as county and town taxes, church and education taxes, bounties, and other charges. He links the types and amounts of taxes with the means of payment--be it gold coins, agricultural commodities, wampum, or furs--and he compares tax systems and burdens among the colonies and with Britain. This book brings the colonial period to life in all its rich complexity, and shows how colonial attitudes toward taxation offer a unique window into the causes of the revolution.
