		In 1777, New York's colonial charter was replaced by the Constitution of New York, 1777 and the English province became the independent state of New York, which fought for its independence from Britain in cooperation with the other twelve of the Thirteen Colonies.
		New York was one of the most demographically diverse colonies in British North America, rivaling even Pennsylvania in the sheer number of ethnicities and religions present.
		Except for Long Island, the Church of England was the established church of colonial New York, and the colony's seat of higher education, King's College (later Columbia University), was Anglican.

	Land, Agriculture-Mitchell
		What was described as a valuable colony was given up because of the number of proprietors, disagreements and disputes among them, their inability to settle the matter of quitrents, or annual land use fees, in South Carolina, and their fear that they would lose the colony in case of invasion by Spain.
		Both Governor Alexander Spotswood of Virginia and Moseley recommended to Carteret that his one-eighth part of Carolina be set up as a single district and that the northern boundary be the Virginia-North Carolina line, since that was the only boundary in the entire province that had been fixed.
		The 1773 assembly reminded Henry Eustace McCulloh, the agent of the colony, that the Granville land office had been closed to the “inconvenience and grievance” of the settlers in the province; McCulloh was asked to use his utmost endeavors to induce the Crown to purchase the district.

	COLONIAL AMERICA
		New England and Virginia increased in population and influence.
		Governor Berkeley, who had been Governor since 1642, had Charles II proclaimed as King and invited him to assume the administration of Virginia.
		France relinquished to England all her possessions on the mainland of North America east of the Mississippi River except New Orleans; Spain ceded Florida to England in exchange for Havana, captured during the war; and France ceded to Spain the territory west of the Mississippi.

	Jonathan Belcher: Governor in the Emerging Trilateral Center
		But as long as the colonies were divided, with each colonial concerned only for his own interests and the interests of his own colony, and not as concerned for the welfare of the citizens of the other colonies, the Americans would not muster the initiative to create such an intercolonial, America-wide military force.
		Halifax's period of greatest activity was 1750-1754, when he intimidated local colonial politicians by proposing wide-sweeping measures for overhauling the administration of the American colonies and frightened colonials accustomed to believing their own version of the British constitution--that colonial assemblies were on a legislative parity with the British Parliament.
		The colonial assemblies were to elect the members of this representative council, and unlike Bladen's bicameral Plantation Parliament, Franklin's Grand Council was to function as a unicameral legislature, whose acts were subject to the veto of the (Crown-appointed) President General.

		The governors were to meet early in the spring of 1755, so, through the winter, Winslow was charged by Shirley to form an army of New Englanders, to get them outfitted and drilled, and ready for service.
		With the early fall of Fort Beauséjour in June of 1755 (the taking of Fort Beauséjour was the only English military objective, of the four, met that year) there was, thereafter, to be an excess of English troops at the isthmus.
		In August of 1755, Winslow, with most of his division, at the special request of Governor Lawrence at Halifax, was to travel down from the isthmus to Minas.

	Connecticut's "Black Governors"
		It is thought that slaves, who accompanied their owners to Hartford for the yearly election of the colony's governor, chose a person to become a leader of their community as well.
		A fl governor could be called on to perform important functions within his community, and the position commanded respect from both fl and white residents.
		The last fl governor in Connecticut is considered to be Wilson Weston, who served as governor in the town of Seymour in 1856.

	The Colonial Currency
		Colonial paper currency, generally called bills of credit, was issued on two bases: on the credit of the colony supported by tax funds, and on loan.
		The existing colonial price indices based upon the prices of a few commodities bought or sold in foreign commerce are in no way indicative of the general price level.10 The colonial prices of such commodities depend predominantly upon the conditions of supply and demand in foreign markets and on the rate of exchange.
		In the case of New England and the Middle colonies, where direct trade between the colonies and Britain was at a minimum, it was necessary for the colonies to have recourse to a roundabout trade to procure the necessary bills of exchange and specie to pay their adverse balances with Britain.

	Chapter 1: The Original Source of Sovereignty (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Therein the "United Colonies" were declared to be "free and independent States"; but even then the object plainly was not to declare their independence of one another or of the Union, but directly the contrary, as their mutual pledge and their mutual action before, at the time, and afterward, abundantly show.
		First, the issue of whether the Congress represented the people in their direct sovereign capacity and not the regular colonial governments, is entirely distinct from that of whether the sovereign people thus represented were the peoples of the several colonies, or of the nation as a whole.
		For example on June 9, 1775, the Continental Congress resolved that, given the illegitimacy of the Act of Parliament altering the charter of Massachusetts Bay, and the actions of the royal governor in subversion of that charter, the governor of that colony be considered absent (overtones of 1689).

	Complete List of NYS Attorneys General
		Between 1684 and 1777, the Colonial Attorneys General were appointed by the King of England, or the Colonial Governors on the Crown's behalf.
		Until 1702 he was appointed by the governor, after which he was commissioned by the Crown.
		By the Constitution the governor was required to do the appointing with the "advice and consent of the council." But in practice it subordinated the governor to the council whenever a majority of the assembly was politically opposed to him, and the annual election of the council greatly increased chances of such opposition.

		Governor Sharpe was less than impressed by the fortifications when he visited Wills Creek early in the winter of 1754 after Washington's defeat at Fort Necessity.
		He wrote to Governor Dinwiddie of Virginia on December 12 that he found the existing fort "exceedingly small" at about 120 feet across, and too easily approached from higher ground.
		Some members of the Assembly argued that the fort lay too far west of Maryland's western settlements to be of much use to that colony, and proposed instead that the colonies of Virginia and Pennsylvania contribute its support.
