Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Rev. Jonas Clark, Pastor at Lexington, Leader in Revolutionary Thought: Delivered Before the New York Society of the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America at the Hotel Manhattan, New York October 19th, 1911 The flames of the Revolutionary War burst out quickly. There was rejoicing throughout the colonies when the French and Indian war was closed triumphantly and the French had lost all claims to territory east of the Mississippi. It was a proud boast of the colonists to be a part of the power which by the Treaty of Paris in 1763 had come to the front as the greatest nation of the world. They felt that they were as truly English as if they had been born in the home-land and they claimed that they possessed by birth right all the privileges which appertained to a loyal subject of the King. The colonists always disclaimed any intention to turn the colonies over to the French or the Spanish or the Dutch. They joined eagerly with British soldiers in the wars to resist the encroachments of France. The French emissaries from Canada to New England met with no encouragement in their efforts to foment trouble with England. The colonists aided in the capture of Louisburgh and Quebec. After a century of struggle with France they rejoiced when all that country west of the Alleghanies and east of the Mississippi River came under the rule of England. Then by the peace of 1763, at the close of the French and Indian War, England owned from the arctic circle to the gulf of Mexico and France was left with no remnant of the vast empire which for over one hundred years she had struggled and fought to retain. The French had claimed the entire continent and at last were left without a foothold thereon. Hildreth says, in commenting on this war: "The present contest for territorial and commercial supremacy, had extended even to the East Indies, thus as it were encircling the globe.
