Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Maryland´s Attitude in the Struggle for Canada, Vol. 7 This paper is a study of the attitude of Maryland in the French and Indian War. Maryland failed to do her duty in that great international struggle between the French and English for the possession of North America, and it was chiefly due, first, to the narrow and niggardly polity of the Provincial Assembly, and secondly, to the dissensions of the Province with the Proprietary government for the purpose of limiting and, perhaps, overthrowing Proprietary rule. The recent publication of portions of the Maryland Archives, under the able editorship of Dr. William Hand Browne, has rendered interesting parts of the history of Maryland accessible to students. The Sharpe Correspondence (Vols. I. and II.) covers the period from 1753 to 1761. It contains much valuable information regarding Maryland´s policy during the French and Indian War, and helps to explain the motives of her peculiar conduct. It has been my purpose in this paper, therefore, to present briefly the results of a study of the Sharpe Correspondence and the Proceedings of the Assembly during these years, for the purpose of throwing new light upon Maryland politics at that time. Since Maryland´s behavior was due largely to disputes with the Proprietary, I have attempted to trace each dispute from its origin, in order to arrive at a correct understanding of the controversies of the time. We shall find that out of what was really a derelict and obstructive policy developed a commendable spirit of resistance in 1765, which led finally to independence.
