Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The North Eastern Boundary Controversy and the Aroostook War France, although a Catholic nation, was in unison with England, which had then become Protestant, in protesting against such an exclusive and unfair grant. So far as there was an issue between England and Spain about American territory it was settled by Sir Francis Drake in 1588, by the victory over the Spanish Armada in the British Channel, which has been the scene of so many famous naval battles and where so much of the world´s history has been made. But England had not submitted to the slow process of waiting for the God of battles to determine her rights by discovery and conquest as they then stood in the western hemisphere. In 1495-6, three years after its discovery and before Columbus had seen it, Henry VII, King of England, issued a commission to John Cabot and his sons, "to seek out, discover and find whatsoever Isles, Countries, Regions or Provinces of the heathens and infidels" hitherto unknown to all Christians, and, as vassals of the king, to hold the same by his authority. In 1502, the same king issued authority to Hugh Eliot and Thomas Ashurst to discover and take possession of the "Islands and Continents" in America. As early as 1524 and many years before England had actually asserted jurisdictional rights on this continent, Francis I, King of France, doubted the "clause in Adam´s will" which made this continent the incontrovertible possession of "his brothers of Spain and Portugal" and sent out discoverers and explorers, who explored the entire coast from the thirtieth to the fiftieth degree of latitude, and named the whole region New France. Ten years later Jacques Quartier, known in English history as "Cartier," commissioned by the same king, made several voyages to America and took possession of Canada. The French government maintained it ever after until its titles were lost by treaties and conquest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
