	Chapter 2: American Military History, Volume I
		The colonial assemblies claimed the same prerogatives vis-à-vis the royal governor that the British Parliament exercised in its relations with the Crown, including control of the purse and regulation of the military establishment of the colony.
		Colonial assemblies had to vote money for pay and supplies, and assemblies were usually parsimonious as well as unwilling to see volunteer forces assume any of the status of a standing army.
		The indecisive character of the first three colonial wars was evidence of the inability of the English colonies to unite and muster the necessary military forces for common action, of the inherent difficulty of mounting offensives in unsettled areas, and of a British preoccupation with conflicts in Europe and other areas.

	The Guyana-Suriname boundary during the colonial era (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Both sides recognized that the 1799 agreement was essentially a provisional pact which would have to be subject to the ratification (and possibly revision) of the appropriate authorities in the metropolis.
		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.
		The Governor of Suriname declined this invitation because, he said, he had not been furnished with instructions from the Netherlands, he was not aware of any dispute over this border, and he doubted that the exercise would have any impact on difficulties that might arise in the future.

		These colonial governors were appointed by the king to work with and keep in line the elected colonial assemblies.

		By 1774, colonial militias were drilling openly in several colonies, and the governors and royally appointed officials of the colonies were being forced to flee by mobs.

		He continued to correspond with his son, Alexander, the headman of the Creek Nation, and he invited Alexander's son to Scotland to be educated.

		The colony of British Guiana had been formed in 1831 as a result of the union of the separate colonies of Essequibo-Demerara and Berbice, and the eastern boundary of the united colony remained the same as the eastern boundary of the former colony of Berbice.
		In 1799 the two Governors met at Paramaribo and, while acknowledging that territorial boundaries could only be fixed by the metropolitan sovereign authorities, concluded an agreement at the colonial level which provided that Berbice should have control over the land between the west bank of the Corentyne River and Devil's Creek.
		The Governor of British Guiana suggested to the Governor of Suriname that he should send a commissioner to cooperate in the exploration of the river which was regarded as the boundary between the two colonies.

	FRANCIA
		Looking backwards and forwards from this point, the French colonial Empire went through two major phases, the original expansion of the 17th and 18th centuries, and the conquests of the 19th century.
		While French colonialism may have had less of the racism and racial separateness that now seem characteristic of British practice, it nevertheless was rather more intent on imposing French "civilization" and less tolerant of taking "no" for an answer -- while the British condescended to allow quaint native customs and institutions to survive, within limits.
		A curious survival of French colonialism is the French Foreign Legion, the Légion Etrangère.
