Excerpt: ...of British subjects by the British THE RAJAH ON A PROTECTORATE 205 Government is a question between themselves; it can be of no good to the Government of Sarawak, and in no way concerns it. Sarawak is an independent native state ruled by an Englishman with the knowledge and sanction of the British Government and nation for fifteen years. The native state so ruled has, we contend, been acknowledged by the British Government, and if an objection should be now made to the ruler on the score of his allegiance, or any other, it might affect his right to the position, but it could not affect the right of the people of Sarawak to independence and self-government. The challenge has often been given, and the only consequence, supposing the proposition established, " that a British subject could not rule a foreign people consistently with his allegiance," would be personal to him. It would deprive him of the position or render a change of designation requisite. As regards the state of Sarawak in relation to England, it cannot in any way touch it. 'Again, England has afforded the highest degree of encouragement to the Government of Sarawak by word and deed. She now evades her obligations, and leaves the native state without support; and a small native state, isolated as Sarawak now is, without countenance, without help, and without formal recognition or protection, cannot stand alone amid the advancement of European nations and the growing interests of commerce. Every native state must shortly adhere or belong to a European Power. It is no question of right but of necessity, for neighbouring states, one weak and the other strong, cannot exist in contact without the weaker being the friend or the foe of the stronger--a faithful ally, or the...

Download or read book Stonewall Jackson Beresford Hope and the Meaning of the American Civil War in Britain written by Michael Turner and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive examination of British sympathy for the South during and after the American Civil War, Michael J. Turner explores the ideas and activities of A. J. Beresford Hope—one of the leaders of the pro-Confederate lobby in Britain—to provide fresh insight into that seemingly curious allegiance. Hope and his associates cast famed Confederate general Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson as the embodiment of southern independence, courage, and honor, elevating him to the status of a hero in Britain. Historians have often noted that economic interest, political attitudes, and concern about Britain’s global reach and geostrategic position led many in the country to embrace the Confederate cause, but they have focused less on the social, cultural, and religious reasons enunciated by Hope and ostensibly represented by Jackson, factors Turner suggests also heightened British affinity for the South. During the war, Hope noticed a tendency among British people to view southerners as heroic warriors in their struggle against the North. He and his pro-southern followers shared and promoted this vision, framing Jackson as the personification of that noble mission and raising the general’s profile in Britain so high that they collected enough funds to construct a memorial to him after his death in 1863. Unveiled twelve years later in Richmond, Virginia, the statue stands today as a remarkable artifact of one of the lesser-known strands of British pro-Confederate ideology. Stonewall Jackson, Beresford Hope, and the Meaning of the American Civil War in Britain serves as the first in-depth analysis of Hope as a leading pro-southern activist and of Jackson’s reputation in Britain during and after the Civil War. It places the conflict in a transnational context that reveals the reasons British citizens formed bonds of solidarity with the southerners whom they perceived shared their social and cultural values.

Book excerpt: Sir James Brooke was an extraordinary 'eminent' Victorian, whose life was the stuff of legend.His curious career began in 1841 when he was caught up in a war in Brunei which had started because a party of local Dayaks had refused to furl their umbrellas in the presence of the Sultan. Brooke was an opportunist who, with the Sultan's backing, made war on the Dayaks tribespeople and eventually found himself ruling over Sarawak - a kingdom the size of England - as a result. How he achieved it is a romantic, sometimes horrifying story. Brooke is someone that George Macdonald Fraser would scarcely dare to invent. Errol Flynn wanted to play him in a movie, seventy years after his death and his dynasty is remembered throughout South-East Asia.
