Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The naval mutiny of 1797 is the most astonishing recorded in British history; by its management rather than by its results. Though it shook the country, it was largely ordered with rigid discipline, a respect for officers and an unswerving loyalty to the King. Moreover, it was so rationally grounded that it not only achieved its immediate end, the betterment of the sailor's lot, but also began a new and lasting epoch in naval administration.

Book excerpt: In 1797 the bloodiest mutiny ever suffered by the Royal Navy took place on the British frigate HMS Hermione off the coast of Puerto Rico. Jonathan Robbins, a reputed American sailor who had been impressed into service, made his way to American shores. President John Adams bowed to Britain’s request for his extradition. Convicted of murder and piracy by a court-martial in Jamaica, Robbins was hanged. Adams’s catastrophic miscalculation ignited a political firestorm, only to be fanned by Robbins’s failure to receive his constitutional rights of due process and trial by jury by an American court. American Sanctuary brilliantly lays out in riveting detail the story of how the Robbins affair, amid the turbulent presidential campaign of 1800, inflamed the new nation and set in motion a constitutional crisis, resulting in Adams’s defeat and Thomas Jefferson’s election as the third president of the United States. Robbins’s martyrdom led directly to the country’s historic decision to grant political asylum to foreign refugees—a major achievement in fulfilling the promise of American independence.

Download or read book The Bloody Flag written by Niklas Frykman and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mutiny tore like wildfire through the wooden warships of the age of revolution. While commoners across Europe laid siege to the nobility and enslaved workers put the torch to plantation islands, out on the oceans, naval seamen by the tens of thousands turned their guns on the quarterdeck and overthrew the absolute rule of captains. By the early 1800s, anywhere between one-third and one-half of all naval seamen serving in the North Atlantic had participated in at least one mutiny, many of them in several, and some even on ships in different navies. In The Bloody Flag, historian Niklas Frykman explores in vivid prose how a decade of violent conflict onboard gave birth to a distinct form of radical politics that brought together the egalitarian culture of North Atlantic maritime communities with the revolutionary era’s constitutional republicanism. The attempt to build a radical maritime republic failed, but the red flag that flew from the masts of mutinous ships survived to become the most enduring global symbol of class struggle, economic justice, and republican liberty to this day.
Download or read book The Naval Mutinies of 1797 Classic Reprint written by Conrad Gill and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Naval Mutinies of 1797 The first four books of this volume give an account of the Mutinies at Spithead and the Nore; the fifth and sixth books deal with the causes of the unrest. The information is largely drawn from original letters of the officers and seamen concerned in the risings and from other contemporary documents. These letters provide most of the material needed for a consecutive account of the Mutinies, but published works have been used in matters of detail to help the sequence of the story. Cunninghams book on the Nore Mutiny, which can almost be classed as contemporary, has been particularly useful as a supplement to Buckner's rather jejune dispatches. A list of authorities, with a short appreciation of their value, is given below, in Appendix C; and throughout the book reference is made, in footnotes, to the sources of information. The footnotes also contain some discussions on points of fact or opinion or chronology, and some illustrative matter; but I have tried to include in the text everything that is essential to the main argument, so that any readers who may wish to follow the general course of the Mutinies, but do not desire a critical study of details, will be able to neglect the notes without losing anything that is important for their purpose. In this volume I have not dealt with the scattered Mutinies which preceded the risings of 1797, nor with the mutiny at Plymouth, or the later troubles in the Mediterranean fleet, in the West Indies and at the Cape of Good Hope. The earlier risings were only slight outbreaks of discontent; the later were only echoes of the disturbances in the Channel and North Sea fleets.
