	Complete List of NYS Attorneys General
		Defeated in race for Governor by Thomas Dewey in 1942.
		Between 1684 and 1777, the Colonial Attorneys General were appointed by the King of England, or the Colonial Governors on the Crown's behalf.
		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.

	America In The Colonial Era: The Colonies In Their Political Relations
		In the internal government of the colonies generally there were three main factors, the governor, the governor's council, and the assembly chosen by the people, the second being the prototype of the State senate.
		Among the colonies there was a marked quickening of conscience on the subject, beginning near the middle of the century, -when the Quakers inaugurated their effective opposition to slavery,--and showing tokens of increasing vitality till the adoption of the Federal Constitution in 1789.
		The first assembly of colonial representatives, in 1774, passed a resolution against the further importation of slaves, and in 1787 the proposition to exclude slavery from the northwestern territories received the assent of a11 the southern States.

	California During the Revolution
		For their part, California governors and presidial commanders found the mission priests to be a haughty lot who sometimes considered themselves superior to the military.
		Governors and commanders assumed that the soldiers would remain in California following their tours of duty and local marriages and land grants were strong inducements to this end.
		The fathers of the Mexican governors Alvarado and Pico and of the Generals Vallejo and Castro had all begun as presidials, as were the founders of the important California houses of De la Guerra, Ortega, Peralta, Valencia, Sanchez, Bernal, Alviso, Galindo, Carrillo, Moraga, and others.

	The Scot in British North America - Chapter II Colonial Government down to 1791
		The younger spirits who rebelled against the hum-drum life of the Colony, found a vent to their energies as coureurs de bois, or in those interminable struggles with the Iroquois which had been left as a fatal heritage of woe and bloodshed by the folly of the early leaders and viceroys.
		The colonies to the southward were in the early stage of revolution, because the Imperial Parliament had thought fit to tax them without the consent of their representatives.
		To his surprise, the Governor found that the members were not so given to innovation as he had anticipated, although he took care to complain that some of them were no better than they should be.

	Leslie V. Brock: The Colonial Currency, Prices, and Exchange Rates
		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.
		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.
		In a colony where a specie standard prevailed and bills of credit were not issued as war finance measures, as was the case in Massachusetts between 1750 and 1775, the price of exchange fluctuated in harmony with that in New York and Pennsylvania, but the fluctuations were not so great.

	Resetting the Terms on the Second Amendment:... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Consequently, a more comprehensive survey of colonial and revolutionary American usage of the key phrase, "bear arms," and other arms-related expressions is necessary to come to terms with how the language of the Second Amendment was understood in the late 18th century, both to the drafters and the ratifiers of the amendment.
		The militia acts in some colonies were often reenacted verbatim, sometimes on an annual basis, and many were revived and continued verbatim after expiration;(25) they were sometimes published in newspapers or as broadsides for public scrutiny, and they were reprinted in compilations of statutes.
		Colonial laws, especially the slave codes, contained language prohibiting slaves from making use of firearms and other weapons without the use of their masters.

	The Second Amendment: Toward an Afro-Americanist Reconsideration
		Governors of settlements often also held the title of militia captain, reflecting both the civil and military nature of their office.
		[51] In most colonies, all white men between the ages of sixteen and sixty, usually with the exception of clergy and religious objectors, were considered part of the militia and required to be armed.
		Ironically, while the fl presence in colonial America introduced a new set of restrictions concerning the English law of arms and the militia, it helped strengthen the view that the security of the state was best achieved through the arming of all free citizens.

	The Colonial Currency
		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.
		Although the improvement in the price of wheat and of flour was widely attributed to the issues of paper currency, it seems to have resulted entirely from the improvement in the international market, for the index of the sterling exchange rate (1720 100), which had stood at 101.2 in 1723, in 1724 stood at 100.4.
		Much of the retail trade of the colonies, particularly in the country and smaller towns, was carried on by what William T. Baxter has called "bookkeeping barter."38 Storekeepers prices their goods in monetary terms, but their customers paid for them in commodities, upon which prices were likewise placed.

	[CTRL] Fwd: THE ILLUMINATI
		The Masons were firmly entrenched in the eastern colonies, but since 95% of the population identified themselves as Christians, they had to modify their philosophies to include Christian teachings.
		Among its members were Governor DeWitt Clinton, Horace Greeley(politician and editor of the New York Daily Tribune), Charles Dana, and Clinton Roosevelt(the ancestor of Franklin D. Roosevelt).
		When those advocating a strong central government organized the Federalist Party in 1791, the Anti-Federalists, who favored states' rights, and were against Alexander Hamilton's(Secretary of Treasury under Washington, 1789-1795) fiscal policies, which they felt benefited the wealthy, rallied under Thomas Jefferson, Washington's first Secretary of State(1789-93).

	Colonial and Post Revolutionary America - TaxGaga
		The Stamp Act was passed by Parliament in order to cover about £60,000 of the £200,000 required to station troops in the colonies.
