Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Correspondence of King George the Third With Lord North, Vol. 2 of 2: From 1768 to 1783; Edited From the Originals at Windsor, With an Introduction and Notes As the year 1776 was in some respects a turning-point in the war between England and her colonies, it may be convenient to take a brief review of the contending parties before proceeding with the King´s Letters. There were many errors current at the time that now are patent and exploded; and there was much animosity arising from mutual misconceptions at which it may be well to glance. When Congress assembled for the first time in the September of 1774, the Colonies had, for ten years, been contesting for their rights against the parent state. But during this long and agitated period the idea of casting off their dependence on the British Crown was never for a moment entertained, or, if regarded as a probable event, it was so by a very few discerning eyes. Such disturbances as took place were the results of passion, not of premeditation - the work of a mob, not of the colonists generally. Any motion or resolution containing, or even implying, the doctrine of Independence, would have been rejected as extravagant, mischievous, or even treasonable, by the Congress of 1774.
