	Beer, British Colonial Policy, 1754-1765
		The ablest colonial governor of the time, William Shirley of Massachusetts, was, however, strongly in favor of a parliamentary union coupled with parliamentary taxation of the colonies.
		Though all these plans, whether of colonial union or of parliamentary taxation, were intended for a permanent military establishment in the colonies in time of peace, their ultimate object was to effect the security of the colonies in the event of war.
		The governor, Francis Bernard, wrote to Pitt on March 20, 1759, that New Jersey showed her zeal for the cause in voting 1000 men, as her population was only 70,000 to 80,000 and as she was spending yearly on the war £70,000, whereas Pennsylvania which was five times as populous, raised only £100,000.

	1660-1712: The Restoration to the Peace of Utrecht

		Governor Andros was overthrown and the Dominion of New England dissolved.
		The charter affirmed the crown’s authority to appoint the governor and naval officers to supervise ports, while guaranteeing that delegates to the colonial assembly were to be popularly elected by property-owning males, including nonmembers of the Puritan church.

	1713-1755: The Peace of Utrecht to the Seven Years War
		At the same time, such “salutary neglect” encouraged the maturation of colonial political systems and the concomitant autonomy of colonial legislatures, furthering trends that had begun in earnest in the wake of the Glorious Revolution.
		As colonial societies expanded and matured, colonists expected the British home government to uphold, or at least not interfere with, the prosperity and autonomy they enjoyed.
		Of course, royal governors continued to exert their influence through control of patronage and land grants, but political authority gradually reverted to parochial leaders who controlled the assemblies.

		The Crown urged the Colonies to make a common fund for these purposes, but with the stupid proviso that colonial Generals and field officers should have no rank with the English, while the Captains and inferior officers should be preceded by regulars of the same rank.
		In June, 1756, the Governor reports that all had been done by the Assembly with great alacrity and unanimity, and £17,000 credits were issued to help the forces of Colonel Peter Schuyler, who was made commissary and whose duty, together with General Shirley, was to pay the officers and soldiers of New Jersey.
