Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Protestant Episcopal Church of America as Seen in the Journals of Her Conventions 1785 to 1880: Inaugural Dissertation for the Acquirement of the Degree of Doctor of Divinity at the University of Berne The names of Martin Frobisher, 1576, Sir Humphrey Gilbert, 1578, and Sir Walter Raleigh, 1584, are connected with the exploration of the south central part of what is now the United States of America, but the earliest colonists who settled in what the courtly Raleigh called ´Virginia´ met with disasters too great for survival. Another settlement in Massachusetts as it is now called was only of a temporary nature. The granting of Charters by King James I was the first impetus to colonisation. The outcome of the King´s action was the formation of two Chartered Companies, the ´London,´ and the ´Plymouth,´ which were to be governed by councils appointed by the King but were allowed to appoint colonial councils of 13 with powers that were really absolute. The London Company retained its charter for 22 years but the addition to, and subdivision of, the original colony of Virginia was such that by the year 1732 there were besides the original, Maryland - granted to Lord Baltimore, - North and South Carolina, and Georgia. Meanwhile, through the exploitation of the Plymouth Company and with colonists who had separated from the Church of England together with those who wished to be free from the supervision of the Crown and its agents, the colony of Massachusetts was formed in 1629. From this colony sprang those of Connecticut and Rhode Island both of which received charters from the Crown in 1662 and 1663 respectively. New Hampshire sprang from a few fishing villages. At the time of the Restoration the only rival settlers were the Dutch, but the war with Holland, 1664, was seized upon as an opportunity to dispossess the Dutch whose territory was granted by the King to his brother the Duke of York, the province with its principal city being named ´New York´ in honour of its new proprietor. A portion of this state became another colony, New Jersey. Seventeen years later William Penn was granted a great tract of land west of New Jersey which took his name Pennsylvania. Penn purchased from the Duke of York in 1682 the piece of land afterwards to be known as Delaware. Hardly anything in history is more impressive than the mustering of Englishmen on the Atlantic seaboard and hardly anything is so surprising as the apathy and ignorance of the home government and the English people as to the organization and progress of these subjects and kinsmen. Ecclesiastical divisions were as strong as civil diversities. In the royal colonies, commonly called provinces, Virginia. New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, North and South Carolina and Georgia, there was a steady tendency, and a more or less successful one, to establish the Church of England.
