Early Canada Historical Narratives -- UPPER CANADA'S LIEUTENANT-GOVERNORS AND THE COLONIAL OFFICE When Governor Gore promptly appointed his own secretary to this position, people in the province were disappointed, for they knew the governor would exercise close control over the agent, monitor his actions and interpret his reports to suit the interests of the governor and not necessarily those of the colony. Governors were selected, not because of any special aptitude for or knowledge about the colony, but for reasons usually unrelated to the interests of the colony to which they were being sent. Military governors had few political or diplomatic skills, and they held the extreme views of their aristocratic Tory class which was that the finer things in life should be only for those with prestige, property and influence. www.uppercanadahistory.ca /pp/pp5.html   (5889 words)

National Park Service - Colonials and Patriots (Introduction)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) By 1763 most of the colonial assemblies had, through this means, extended their powers to include freedom of debate, the right to judge the qualifications of their own members, regularly scheduled meetings, the right to fix their date of adjournment, and the exclusion of Crown-appointed officers from deliberations. Colonial political thought, strongly influenced by John Locke, had evolved two ideas foreign to the British political system—a growing belief in written constitutions and a belief in direct representation on a territorial basis. Colonial legislators rejected the Crown's contention that the instructions issued to royal Governors automatically became part of the colonial constitutions. www.cr.nps.gov /history/online_books/colonials-patriots/introg.htm   (1298 words)

California During the Revolution In 1769 Galvez assembled the so-called "sacred expedition," a handful of Spanish soldiers and a group of Franciscan missionaries, who together made an overland and seaborne journey to the area north of Baja. Governors and commanders assumed that the soldiers would remain in California following their tours of duty and local marriages and land grants were strong inducements to this end. The fathers of the Mexican governors Alvarado and Pico and of the Generals Vallejo and Castro had all begun as presidials, as were the founders of the important California houses of De la Guerra, Ortega, Peralta, Valencia, Sanchez, Bernal, Alviso, Galindo, Carrillo, Moraga, and others. www.americanrevolution.org /cal.html   (7414 words)

Road to Revolution-Spindel In fact, the governor of the colony, William Tryon, anticipated trouble before the effective date of the Stamp Act and very quickly tried to discourage resistance before it had a chance to develop. Thus, the North Carolina assembly was in recess in June, 1765, when the Massachusetts legislature circulated to all of the colonies an invitation to send delegates to a congress to be held in New York in October to present a united protest to Britain against the new law. Governor Tryon, a virtual prisoner in his own home for most of the night, finally managed to escape in the early morning after the “guard” dispersed. www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us /sections/hp/colonial/Nchr/Subjects/spindel1.htm   (6025 words)

Lecture Notes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) In general, disputes arose between colonial assemblies and royal governors because the assemblies did not want to vote taxes for projects sponsored by the governors, nor to raise taxes to cover colonial expenses. But by 1767 the colonial assemblies had achieved essential self-government and it was too late for Townshend to try to turn back the clock to a time when England could rule directly through its appointed governors.

Table of Contents: Colonial Botany Colonial botany—the study, naming, cultivation, and marketing of plants in colonial contexts—was born of and supported European voyages, conquests, global trade, and scientific exploration. Colonial botany developed along with a web of trade routes, and was informed by patterns of commerce and naval prowess that kept them open. In a reconstruction of the nutmeg skirmishes on the Isle de France (Mauritius) in the 1750s, she shows that the explosive rivalry among colonial botanists for metropolitan Crown patronage rather than disinterested comparison of species across continents was central to the scientific identification of the commercially valuable nutmeg. www.upenn.edu /pennpress/book/toc/14093.html   (5884 words)

Complete List of NYS Attorneys General Between 1684 and 1777, the Colonial Attorneys General were appointed by the King of England, or the Colonial Governors on the Crown's behalf. Until 1702 he was appointed by the governor, after which he was commissioned by the Crown. By the Constitution the governor was required to do the appointing with the "advice and consent of the council." But in practice it subordinated the governor to the council whenever a majority of the assembly was politically opposed to him, and the annual election of the council greatly increased chances of such opposition. www.oag.state.ny.us /previous_aglist.html   (922 words)

Maryland Colonial History Contest   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) The administrations of Maryland's colonial governors were fraught with danger and conflicting forces.
