	The Life of Jacob Leisler
		Jacob Leisler was born into a prominent European Calvinist family that included Dr. Jacob Leisler, his grandfather and chief counselor to the Counts of Oettingen, Reverend Jacob Victorian Leisler, his father and pastor of the Frankfurt-am-Main French Reformed congregation, and the noted Huguenot theologian Simon Goulart.
		Leisler's brothers, Johann Adam and Frantz, were Swiss bankers who financed such Protestant states as the duchy of Wuertemburg.
		Leisler's administration of New York split the province into two distinct camps that were closely aligned with the Regent and Orangist factions in the United Provinces and the Whig and Tory factions in England, the legacy of which, according to some historians, is America's unique two-party system.

		The news of the English revolution of 1688, however, caused an uprising in Boston, and in April 1689 Andros was seized and imprisoned.
		Leisler refused to pay duties on a cargo of wine on the ground that the collector was a papist, and on the 31st of May 168o, during a mutiny of the militia, he and other militia captains seized Fort James.
		Leisler and Jacob Milborne, his son-in-law, were pronounced guilty of treason, and were executed on the 16th of May. The execution was regarded even by many who had been indifferent to Leislers cause, as an act of revenge.

		Leisler was transformed beyond recognition, deified as a simple, self-made democratic hero, or demonized as an uncultured and brutal representative of mob violence.
		Leisler's rehabilitation at the hands of Jerome Reich, Lawrence Leder, or in the work of Patricia Bonomi and David S. Lovejoy failed still, because of the widely-scattered and largely unknown provenance of his surviving papers, to place him in a sufficiently broad context.
		Leisler was of "German" or more properly, "Hessian" background, someone known as a "Dutch" soldier and trader, but identified even by contemporaries with the "Huguenots" not only because of his mother's family background, but because of his intervention on behalf of Huguenot refugees in the New World.

		The German-born Leisler had assumed control of New York's provincial government in the wake of England's 1688 Glorious Revolution, in which William, the Dutch Protestant Prince of Orange, and his wife Mary replaced King James II, a Roman Catholic, on England's throne.
		Leisler's association with the more extreme elements of European Orangism, as well as English Whigs, greatly damaged his political efforts at home and abroad.
		Dudley, presiding chief justice at Leisler's trial, was seeking reappointment as royal governor of Massachusetts: an appointment that Puritan New Englanders bitterly opposed.

		An armed mob seized Fort James and installed Jacob Leisler, a militia commander and immigrant from Germany, as the head of a new government.

		Leisler was convicted of treason and sentenced to be executed.
