American Colonies: Revolutions

The document discusses several events that led to revolutions in the American colonies. It describes how the colonies experienced increased control from the British crown through appointed councils and governors, which angered many colonists. This tension grew as the crown demanded more taxes from the colonies. The document then examines the "Glorious Revolution" in Britain and how it impacted religious freedom for Protestants. It also discusses the crown's attempts at compromise with the colonies by accepting elected assemblies and repealing unpopular taxes. However, ongoing wars with France drained British resources and led Parliament to demand more control over colonial spending.

The Glorious Revolution are the events between (1688-1689) that led to the replacement, in 1689, of James II by his daughter Mary II and her husband William of Orange (who became William III) as joint monarchs. The Revolution has at least from two different points of view: The first one showed that William wanted to rescue Britain from Catholicism under the absolutist-style regime of James II. The second one showed the ascension of William of Orange to the British Throne as an invasion motivated by real political and a personal lust for powers. On the one hand, James' rule of the British Isles was so cruel, so heavy-handed, so obviously an effort to restore the papacy to England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland that his own people rose against him. By delegations from the nobility, William was invited to become the king. On the other hand, the only way in which William could become king of England was through invasion. On 19 October, William went on board, and the Dutch fleet. Admiral Herbert led the van, and Vice-Admiral Evert Zen brought up the rear. The prince placed himself in the centre, carrying an English flag, emblazoned with his arms, surrounded with the legend, "For the Protestant Religion and Liberties of England." After landing successfully and without opposition; William marched on London and forced James to flee to France. The throne was declared vacant by abdication, and William was pronounced king of all Britain on February 1689. The Glorious Revolution created a workable form of government in Britain where the people could get things done through them. They did not have to have violent revolutions (as the people in France did). It also created a balance of power between the monarch and the Parliament.

HIS 131 Roads to Revolution, 1750-1776 Chapter 5 I. A Loosening of Ties After England’s introduction of the Navigation Acts and its attempts at turning New England into a Royal Colony through the Dominion of New England, it made no serious effort for more than 70 years to tighten its control over the colonies. However, during that time, England did in fact add to its list of royal colonies until they numbered eight. These were New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Carolina, and Georgia….In these eight royal colonies the King had the power of appointing governors and other colonial officials. During that time also, Parliament passed new laws supplementing the original Navigation Acts and elaborating on the mercantilist program….such as, laws restricting colonial manufacturing, laws prohibiting colonial paper currency, and additional laws regulating trade. Nevertheless, the British government itself remained uncertain and divided about the extent to which it should interfere in colonial affairs….Therefore, the colonies, until the late 1750’s, were left, within broad limits, to go their separate ways. A. A Tradition of Neglect During the first half of the 1700’s, though most of the colonies continued to be governed in the king’s name, British Parliament more and more asserted its power over the king. Theoretically, Parliament represented the interests of the whole kingdom…However, in actuality, it represented mostly the interests of the wealthy merchants and landowners in England….And, most of these merchants and landowners objected to any ambitious scheme for reorganization of the English empire that might possibly require large expenditures, increase their taxes, or disrupt their profitable trade with the colonies. During the reigns of George I and George II from 1714 to 1760, the real executive power in England had become the newly created Parliamentary official, the Prime Minister. The first of these prime ministers, Robert Walpole, believed that a relaxation of trade restrictions towards the colonies would enable the colonies to buy more English goods and would thus benefit British merchants. Therefore, Walpole deliberately refrained from attempting a very strict enforcement of the Navigation Acts. This purposeful lack of enforcement became, temporarily, 2 England’s policy in its dealings with the colonies…and this policy was known as “salutary neglect.” (helpful neglect) Meanwhile, the day-to-day administration of the colonies (what little of it there was) was very haphazard and inefficient…Many of the governmental agencies had responsibility for administering laws at home as well as overseas….But, in England, there was ...

Chapter 2For thousands of seekers and adventurers, America in

EstelaJeffery653

Chapter 2 For thousands of seekers and adventurers, America in the seventeenth century was a vast unknown land of new beginnings and new opportunities. The English settlers who poured into coastal America and the Caribbean islands found not a “virgin land” of uninhabited wilderness but a developed region populated by Native Americans. As was true in New Spain and New France, European diseases such as smallpox overwhelmed the Indians and wiped out whole societies. William Bradford of the Plymouth colony in Massachusetts reported that the Indians “fell sick of the smallpox, and died most miserably... like rotten sheep.” Native Americans dealt with Europeans in different ways. Many resisted, others retreated, and still others developed thriving trade relationships with the newcomers. In some areas, land-hungry colonists quickly displaced or decimated the Indians. In others, Indians found ways to live in cooperation with English settlers—if they were willing to adopt the English way of life. After creating the Virginia, Maryland, and New England colonies, the English would go on to conquer Dutch-controlled New Netherland, settle Carolina, and eventually establish the rest of the thirteen original American mainland colonies. The diverse English colonies had one thing in common: To one extent or another, they all took part in the enslavement of other peoples, either Native Americans or Africans or both. Slavery, common throughout the world in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, enriched a few, corrupted many, and compromised the American dream of equal opportunity for all. The English Background Over the centuries, the island nation of England had developed political practices and governing principles similar to those on the continent of Europe—but with key differences. European societies were tightly controlled hierarchies. From birth, people learned their place in the social order. Commoners bowed to priests, priests bowed to bishops, peasants pledged their loyalty to landowners, and nobles knelt before the monarchs, who claimed God had given them absolute power to rule over their domain. Since the thirteenth century, however, English monarchs had shared power with the nobility and with a lesser aristocracy, the gentry. England’s tradition of parliamentary monarchy began with the Magna Carta (Great Charter) of 1215, a statement of fundamental rights and liberties that nobles forced the king to approve. The Magna Carta established that England would be a nation ruled by laws. Everyone was equal before the law, and no one was above it. The people’s representatives formed the national legislature known as Parliament, which comprised the hereditary and appointed members of the House of Lords and the elected members of the House of Commons. The most important power allocated to Parliament was the authority to impose taxes. By controlling tax revenue, the legislature exercised leverage over the monarchy.
