	Beer, British Colonial Policy, 1754-1765
		The ablest colonial governor of the time, William Shirley of Massachusetts, was, however, strongly in favor of a parliamentary union coupled with parliamentary taxation of the colonies.
		Though all these plans, whether of colonial union or of parliamentary taxation, were intended for a permanent military establishment in the colonies in time of peace, their ultimate object was to effect the security of the colonies in the event of war.
		The governor, Francis Bernard, wrote to Pitt on March 20, 1759, that New Jersey showed her zeal for the cause in voting 1000 men, as her population was only 70,000 to 80,000 and as she was spending yearly on the war £70,000, whereas Pennsylvania which was five times as populous, raised only £100,000.

	Libertarian Thought in Colonial America - Mises Institute
		The first half of the eighteenth century saw an increasing political stalemate between the contending forces, now generally consisting of Crown and privileged oligarchy as against the rest of the population, This period of quiescence was matched in the mother country, in institutions as well as in thought and opinion.
		The far greater democracy in the bulk of the American colonies than in England was a reflection of this breakdown.
		One basic influence on colonial American thought was the fact that two contrasting traditions emerged from its Protestant and Puritan heritage.

	Benjamin Franklin
		The legislative assembly of each colony was to choose, once in three years, representatives to attend a Federal grand council, which was to meet every year at Philadelphia, as the City most convenient of access from north and south alike.
		To this grand council each colony was to send a number of representatives, proportioned to its contributions to the continental military service, the minimum number being two, and the maximum seven.
		The governor contended that these should be exempt from taxation; the assembly insisted rightly that these estates should bear their one share of the public burdens.

		The colony also placed a bounty on the scalps of male Delawares and their allies of 130 pieces of eight and invited neighboring colonies "to embrace all Opportunities of pursuing, taking, killing and destroying the said Delaware Indians."[69] The colony of Pennsylvania, however, did not turn its back on the Six Nations.

		The colonies and the Board of Trade in London viewed Native Americans relationships so vital to colonial welfare that they arranged a major meeting in June 1754 in Albany to attempt to work out a neutrality agreement with Native Americans and a colonywide plan of defense should the proper peace treaties not be reached.

	[No title]
		By the 1606 charter the colony was limited to 100 miles along the seaboard and 100 miles west from the coast.
		It was in that year that the New Haven colony was founded; that the league of The United Colonies of New England was formed; and that Roger Williams obtained the first charter of Rhode Island.
		As the colonies were growing in population, and as the charters of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Virginia, and Carolina gave them great stretches of territory in the Mississippi valley, it was inevitable that, sooner or later, a bitter contest for possession of the country should take place between the French and the English in America.

	Colonial America, Part 2
		The king of France and his ministers didn't care much for their American colonies; rather than treat them as new lands worth developing, they saw them as places to exploit, and to be traded away if they could get something better at the conference table.
		The Thirteen Colonies are shown in red, the colonies that stayed with Britain are pink, and the Spanish colonies are orange.
		The militias of North and South Carolina also forced their governors to flee; attempts to reinstate them in early 1776 (by raising a loyalist militia in February, and by attacking Charleston in June) were soundly defeated.

	Complete List of NYS Attorneys General (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		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.

	The Colonial Virginia Register
		From 1652 to 1660 the Governors were elected by the House of Burgesses, though there is some reason to believe that their choice may have been influenced by the wishes of the Parliamentary authorities, or of Cromwell.
		The Councillors were the Governor's advisers in executive matters, and patents, etc., are stated to be issued with their "advice and consent." They constituted the General Court -the supreme court of the Colony and also had legislative functions as members of the upper house of the Assembly, corresponding somewhat to our senate.
		The colonial almanacs (which were always published late in the year before that whose date they bear-as is the case now) contain lists which have in the main been found to be very accurate, of the members of the House in existence at the time when the almanac was printed.

	H-Net Review: Michael P. Gabriel on Jonathan Belcher: Colonial Governor
		Most students and scholars of colonial history are familiar with such Massachusetts governors as John Winthrop and Thomas Hutchinson.
		During his tenure, Belcher employed his considerable skills as a courtier to protect his colony's traditional beliefs and interests and at the same time to maintain his role as a loyal servant to the Crown.
		In such Anglo-American disputes over the royal governor's salary and the use of paper money, one also catches an early glimpse of issues which would eventually contribute to the growing imperial crisis in the 1760s and 1770s.

	Alexander Hamilton
		HAMILTON, Alexander, statesman, born in the island of Nevis, West Indies, 11 January, 1757; died in New York city, 12 July, 1804.
		Hamilton's natural inclinations were then, as always, toward the side of order and established government, but a visit to Boston in the spring of 1774, and a close examination of the questions in dispute, convinced him of the justice of the cause of the colonies.
		A list of the books written by or relating to Hamilton has been published under the title of "Bibliotheca Hamiltonia" by Paul L. Ford (New York, 1886).
