	Becker, Nominations in Colonial New York
		Its governmental organization consisted of a governor with his deputy, advised by a council of his own appointment, and a popular assembly which was co-ordinate with the governor and council in legislation.
		But the vital fact in the political history of New York in the early eighteenth century was not the governor, or the council, or the assembly,—was not the organization of the government at all; the vital fact was the existence of a few rich and influential families.
		Their wealth was based on land and commerce; their influence was the result of ability, social position, and a close organization secured informally by constant, far-sighted, prudential inter-marriages.

	"Empire" by Niall Ferguson - Salon
		After early attempts to impose British culture on the colonies -- which ended with the Indian Mutiny of 1857 -- British colonial governors abandoned such efforts.
		This reluctance to enter into local affairs elides the moral problems of colonialism, Ferguson suggests; the British were so good at invisibly running their colonies, the natives might not have felt the psychological weight of being ruled from afar.
		British colonialism came with inevitable misfortunes and tragedies, one of which, of course, was racism.
