	Colonial Governors
		OF the colonial governors sent from Britain to the American colonies before the Revolution, and of the provincial governors from that time to 1789, upwards of forty were of Scottish birth or descent.
		William Burnet, the governor in 1720, was a son of the celebrated Gilbert Burnet, bishop of Salisbury.
		Although he held the appointment of Governor of Virginia, he does not, however, appear ever to have been in the colony, as during his brief term of office he was detained in Boston in negotiations with the New England authorities in raising an army for the ensuing campaign.

		In that year the colony attempted to prohibit the importation of slaves, but the governor vetoed the bill.[43] Finally, in 1776 by the Constitution, and in 1787 by law, importation and exportation were both prohibited.[44] 14.
		Governor Cranston, as early as 1708, reported that between 1698 and 1708 one hundred and three vessels were built in the State, all of which were trading to the West Indies and the Southern colonies.[33] They took out lumber and brought back molasses, in most cases making a slave voyage in between.
		Since, then, the slave-trade had ever formed an important part of her colonial traffic, it was one of the first branches of commerce which occurred to the colonists as especially suited to their ends.[3] Such were the complicated moral, political, and economic motives which underlay the first national action against the slave-trade.

	Bond, The Colonial Agent as a Popular Representative
		In the southern colonies, all of which were under royal control for the greater part of their history, the struggle to assert popular control over the colonial agent did not face the obstacle presented by a proprietor who was determined to forestall dangers to the continuance of his own rule.
		Franklin was reappointed in 1770 and in 1773.
		In most of the colonies under consideration, the status of the colonial agent was not definitely determined until a short time before the separation from the mother country, and consequently it is impossible accurately to forecast what would have been the ultimate development of the office of colonial agent had not the Revolution intervened.

	The Guyana-Suriname boundary during the colonial era
		As it was, however, the colonies got caught up in the whirlwind of the Napoleonic wars, and in the course of their changing hands, the agreement acquired legitimacy.

		This position was reiterated by the Minister for the Colonies in 1924, 1925 and 1927 in the Dutch Parliament.

	The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Suppression Of The African Slave-Trade To The United States Of America ...
		Any attempt to consider the attitude of the English colonies toward the African slave-trade must be prefaced by a word as to the attitude of England herself and the development of the trade in her hands.
		Governor Cranston, as early as 1708, reported that between 1698 and 1708 one hundred and three vessels were built in the State, all of which were trading to the West Indies and the Southern colonies.
		Connecticut, in common with the other colonies of this section, had a trade for many years with the West Indian slave markets; and though this trade was much smaller than that of the neighboring colonies, yet many of her citizens were engaged in it.

		While some of the governors were ill suited for their office -- many of them were former military officers who had little experience in colonial politics -- others enjoyed a degree of success.

		That His Majesty's subjects in these colonies, owe the same allegiance to the Crown of Great-Britain, that is owing from his subjects born within the realm, and all due subordination to that august body the Parliament of Great Britain.
		The agents of some of the other colonies appearing lukewarm on the subject of a stamp tax, their powers were transferred to Franklin, and he became a sort of national representative of the British colonial empire in America.
		In other colonies not here named, there was equal firmness, but less violence, in preventing the sale of stamps and when the first of November arrived, the law, so far as its enforcement was concerned, was a nullity.

		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.
