	British White Cattle Association
		The British White Cattle Association is governed by a nine member Board of Directors elected by and from the active members of the association.
		Some authors suggest British White Cattle were brought to the United Kingdom by the Romans about 55 B.C. There is further evidence that British White Cattle were in the United Kingdom in pre-Roman times; perhaps as early as 4000 B.C. One of the oldest herds of British White Cattle was the Sommerford herd.
		The value of British White Bulls as sires of beef cattle, are worthy of note by livestock farmers.

		In addition, many of the British colonists were immigrants and their descendants who had either not been economically successful in Britain, or who had run afoul of the British legal system (it has been estimated that between one-half and two-thirds of the white colonists who came to British America came as indentured servants).
		Surprised and alarmed by the extent of the resistance, the British retreated to Boston.
		America became a symbol of freedom and opportunity, envied as a new land, free from the burdens of the past.

		America was conquered, and her settlements made, and firmly established, at the expense of individuals, and not of the British public.
		A family of princes was then on the British throne, whose treasonable crimes against their people brought on them afterwards the exertion of those sacred and sovereign rights of punishment reserved in the hands of the people for cases of extreme necessity, and judged by the constitution unsafe to be delegated to any other judicature.
		America was not conquered by William the Norman, nor its lands surrendered to him, or any of his successors.

		Although, all of North America held some form of slaves, they were not all the same type of culture.

		Men who had spent their lives in extending the British commerce, who had invested in that place the wealth their honest endeavours had merited, found themselves and their families thrown at once on the world for subsistence by its charities.

		British and French military engineers and surveyors produced many excellent maps and charts of North America and the West Indies during the French and Indian War, but the British held a decided advantage, in part because of their strategic position, and quickly surpassed the French in the production of new maps.

		In 1691 the British government insisted that a property qualification should prevail, and fixed it in the English county franchise of a forty shilling freehold.

	American vs. British English (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Earlier still, the British Isles themselves had been subject to invasion by Vikings and Normans/ But, as soon as the English experienced their first taste of relative freedom from foreign dominance, British English underwent a growth surge, most notably perhaps in the period immediately preceding the colonisation of America,.
		Of course, this exploration and colonization brought English to the Americas, to the southern hemisphere, to Africa, and to South Asia.
		It is true that the use of English predates the European settlement of America, but it has gained impetus concurrently with the rise of the United States to international status, as well as with the rise of the United Kingdom to that same status.

	The People of British America, 1700-1750
		The new recruitment invented America as an asylum from religious persecution and political oppression in Europe—with the important proviso that the immigrants had to be Protestants.
		Within British America, that acculturation varied considerably by region, with the greatest assimilation in the northern colonies, where Africans were a minority, and the least in the southern, especially the West Indies, where slaves were the majority.
		In 1780 the fl population in British America was less than half the total number of African emigrants received during the preceding century, while the white population exceeded its emigrant source by 3:1, thanks especially to the healthy conditions in New England and the Middle Colonies.

		But that illfated colony had formerly been bold in their enmities against the house of Stuart, and were now devoted to ruin by that unseen hand which governs the momentous affairs of this great empire.
		And we do earnestly intreat his majesty, as yet the only mediatory power between the several states of the British empire, to recommend to his parliament of Great Britain the total revocation of these acts, which however nugatory they be, may yet prove the cause of further discontents and jealousies among us.
