	Emancipists - Freed Convicts - 1795 - History of Australia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The term Emancipists comes for the American expression "the emancipation of the slaves" and in the Colonies of Australia in the it referred to a loose political grouping of former convicts (and their supporters) in the late 18th and the 19th centuries who were continuing the struggling for full civil rights.
		Macquarie's efforts had the effect of stiffening opposition to Emancipist ambitions, and in the aftermath British imperial policy tended to support the free-settler faction (see Exclusive) in their determination to deny the Emancipists full citizenship.
		There was also an Emancipist Party formed during the colonial era, when the term was embraced as a badge of honour by those who supported the Freedom and Anti-slavery cause.

	The Great Divide - Australia's class war
		However to the newly arriving free settlers (known as the 'Exclusives'), the prestige of this Emancipist class was affront to their sense of superiority, an insult to their British pride as well as a threat to their economic and political prospects.
		They justified denying the Emancipists equal rights by saying that to do so would be 'rewarding criminality.' They also argued that a child of a Convict would show 'the same proclivity to crime as their parents had deemed to have shown' thus could not be trusted in official positions.
		Aside from being excluded from holding official positions, the Emancipists were discriminated against in the distribution of land grants.

	PlanetPapers - Lachlan Macquarie
		Primary examples of this can be seen in his policy to emancipists and aboriginals, and also in his land policies.
		The reason why these ideals ‘had no real chance of success’ was that he lacked support from the british government and there was a succession of quarrels between him and the exclusives of N.S.W. Macquarie strived for a state of equality in his colony.
		He continued to treat the emancipists well socially (often inviting the to dine with him) and appointed some to various high positions in society.

		Among the group's most notable leaders were W.C. Wentworth, the son of a convict woman and the publisher of the influential newspaper the Australian; Sir John Jamison, a surgeon and founder of the Agricultural Society; and William Bland, a prominent Emancipist doctor.
		The group had representatives in England to put their case before the British government, which was then considering a new constitution for New South Wales and municipal incorporation for Sydney.
		The efforts of the APA were unsuccessfully opposed by another, more conservative group of colonists that, while favoring representative government, sought to exclude Emancipists from political participation.

	Lachlan Macquarie Biography / Biography of Lachlan Macquarie Biography Biography
		The public service and financial arrangements of the colony were remodeled; a hospital, barracks, and roads were constructed; the Bank of New South Wales was established under his patronage in 1817; he encouraged exploration across the Blue Mountains, and accompanied by his second wife, he frequently toured the settled parts of the colony.

		Macquarie, having in view the express purpose for which the colony was founded, came to the conclusion that he ought to ignore the past, and treat such persons as he would have treated them had they never had fl marks against their names.
		Jeffery Bent strongly objected to emancipist attorneys practising in his Court, on the ground that, as they had been struck off the rolls for misconduct in England, they were not fit and proper persons to appear before the Court in New South Wales.
		Whatever view may be taken of his policy towards the emancipists, it is impossible to withhold admiration for the tenacity with which he pursued it when once he had wade up his mind that it was the right one.

		Although with the arrival of Lachlan Macquarie, the New South Wales Corps and its monopoly were ended, the military influence survived, with military officers having sway over the justice system.
		A great gulf existed between the officers and their factional division which included the free settlers ("exclusives") and convicts who had completed their term of imprisonment and were now settlers ("emancipists").
		Courts need lawyers and Macquarie's efforts to allow emancipist attorneys to appear before the Supreme Court was blocked by Jeffrey Bent, who, with his brother, had his allegiances with the military and exclusive settlers.

	The Legacy of the Convict Period for Australia
		Prior to this, the Australian population in the eighteen hundreds can be split into four groups: convicts, ex-convicts or emancipists, colonial born or ‘currency’ persons and free immigrants.
		Most writers group the emancipists, currency persons and free immigrants together to show a rapidly increasing number of free persons.
		However, at the time, the currency population chose to align themselves with the emancipist body; both groups having more in common with socially and traditionally with the convicts than with the respectable free immigrants.

	Cultural Identities in A Fringe of Leaves -- Essay at LiteratureClassics.com
		The Victorian English dislike the Irish emancipists, and similarly the Irish dislike the English, and the Colonialists view the Natives as uncultured, while the Natives may view the Colonialists as uncultured.
		The opposition of the Victorian English culture versus the Irish Emancipist culture is one first brought to our attention in the opening chapter of the novel, in the conversations between Mr Merivale, or indeed the Merivales and Miss Scrimshaw, and the emancipist Delaney.
		There is also the fact that they are Irish emancipists, they are freed criminals, where the Merivales and Miss Scrimshaw are not at all criminals, and have not being convicted of any crime.

		He was named after William Charles Wentworth, by his father Horatio Spencer Wills, who was a fellow believer in the emancipist cause - that is, he believed in a certain amount of political freedom for free settlers and 'emancipated' convicts.

		The Gazette was where the first cricket report had appeared in 1803, and when Horatio edited the short-lived emancipist paper the Currency Lad in 1832 and 1833, it also gave prominent coverage to cricket matches - notably those of the Australian Club.
