	The Tribes and the States, Massachusetts Civil Disobedience
		Although the Province of Massachusetts Bay was the actual center of the "civil disobedience" movement that was challenging British authority in America, it was not allowed representation in the Continental Congress mainly because of that very fact.
		The province of New Hampshire, located as it is between Massachusetts and Maine, both of which were then under Massachusetts Bay military rule, and in both of which a "civil disobedience" campaign was organized, was in a peculiar position, as holding an important line of communication for the Massachusetts rebels.
		The royal regime was, in fact, almost isolated in that province, which had the "civil disobedience" territory of Massachusetts to the south, and the similar region of Maine to the east, while to the west and northwest stretched the Green Mountain range, the home of the defiant and unrecognized colony which called itself Vermont.

	Hutchinson on the Land and Silver banks
		Men of estates and the principal merchants in the province abhorred the project and refused to receive the bills, but great numbers of shopkeepers who had lived for a long time before upon the fraud of a depreciating currency, and many small traders gave credit to the bills.
		The New-Hampshire agents therefore furnished him with the votes of the Massachusetts assembly containing the grant of £.800 and evidence of the adjournment of New-Hampshire assembly, alledged to be done in consequence, nor was he undeceived until it was too late.
		Belcher's opposition to the scheme, in the province, was meer pretence; had he been in earnest, his agent in England would never venture to appear in support of it, and this was improved with Lord Wilmington to induce him to give up Mr.

	Davis, Currency and Banking in the Province of the Massachusetts Bay, Vol. I, Ch. XVII
		New Hampshire alone among the other governments of New England was placed under the same restraints in regard to the issue of bills as those imposed upon the province of the Massachusetts Bay; but the influence of her public bills was for many years too feeble to be entitled to any extended investigation.
		Preponderant as was the influence of the more important province, the emissions of the smaller government became at a later date of enough importance to contribute perceptibly towards the depreciation of the currency.
		In February, 1740-41, Belcher warned the assembly concerning the Massachusetts land bank notes, but the members of the house although not prepared to defend a scheme which had its origin and its operations in another province, nevertheless declined to accept the governor’s conclusions.

		The declaring that those persons, most of whom were born within the territories of the province of Massachusetts Bay, should be deemed aliens, would be very absurd, unless they were recognized, before and until the passing of those acts, as subjects.
		It was therefore then considered as the law of the land, that all persons born within the territories of the government and people, although before the declaration of independence, were born within the allegiance of the same government and people, as the successor of the former sovereign, who had abdicated his throne.
		But we are of opinion that his allegiance to that king was founded on his birth within his dominion of the province of Massachusetts Bay; and that upon his abdication, that allegiance accrued to the commonwealth, as his lawful successor.
