	The Colonial Period 1788 - 1901
		Despite the preponderance of British troops in the Australian colonies, colonial military forces were maintained from as early as December 1788, when the commandant of Norfolk Island, Phillip Gidley King, ordered his free male settlers (numbering six) to practise musketry on Saturdays.
		Not until 1854 were volunteer corps and militia again formed in the Australian colonies, but news of war between Britain and Russia in the Crimea led to the establishment of volunteer corps in some colonies and the formation of informal rifle clubs in others.
		Although much of the military training undertaken by volunteers in the colonies was aimed at meeting external threats, European settlement was accompanied by a protracted and undeclared virtual war against Australia's indigenous inhabitants.

	Attitudes and Behaviors Regarding Slavery During the Colonial Period
		Slavery was institutionalized in the colony of Virginia between 1640 and 1662 primarily through laws enacted by the Virginia Assembly and approved by the Royal Governor and the British monarch.
		Historians tend, instead, to concentrate on the period of the anti-slavery movement, focusing on the activities of the abolitionists.
		It is, however, reasonable to conclude that the extremely harsh slave codes enacted in southern colonies and, later, in other states must have been developed in response to events that occurred in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

		The introduction describes two literary treatments of life during the colonial period: a realistic treatment by writer sympathetic to the emerging communist movement and a more romantic treatment by non-communist nationalists.
