Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Relations of Pennsylvania With the British Government: 1696-1765 Until recent years, - the last two decades, - it was the fashion for historians of our colonial era to treat the English possessions in America in the domain of American history. This practice to a large degree ignored the fact that the colonies were parts of a great Empire. A predominant interest in provincial development and a lack of the requisite material on this side of the water are the factors chiefly responsible for the neglect to study the old British colonial policy. A few writers have not failed to understand that the colonies w´ere subject to an elaborate imperial system, neither have they been handicapped by the lack of the material necessary to study the imperial relation, but their work has been seriously marred by a show of the traditional American prejudice which views the British policy toward her first dependencies as something tyrannical and oppressive. Various forces have been at work, and are still active, tending to clear away the older parochial and democratic points of view. The advance of sound historical scholarship in America has substituted for narrowness of vision and false notions of patriotism, a catholic attitude, the spirit of the judge, and the desire of the investigator to leave nothing undone to elicit the truth in full. In the field of colonial history the advance has meant the substitution of the modern and normal imperial point of view for the old provincial attitude.
