This book was released on 2017-07-27 with total page 844 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of New York During the Revolutionary War, and of the Leading Events in the Other Colonies at That Period, Vol. 1 This history of the early phases Of the dispute and of the conduct of the war, in New York, and of its leading events in the other colonies, depicts the origin of the difficulties in that province, the measures adopted, the events which happened, the men who took part in them, and the results which fol lowed, on both sides; and as they were seen, and known, and noted, by an educated gentleman Of the highest social and official position, who personally knew the subject thoroughly, and has not hesitated to describe it fully, and without regard, to the fear, or favor, of either Side. The Honorable Thomas Jones, Of Fort Neck, Queens County, Long Island, a graduate of Yale College, Recorder of the City, and one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of the Province of New York, is the author. It was written, as appears from allusions in the text, between the years 1783 and 1788, during that dark period between the close Of the Revolutionary war and the establishment of the existing form of government of the United States in 1789, which is so little known and understood at this day. A period when the wisest and the best Of.the men who carried through the American Revolution almost despaired of the existence of the colonies which they had contributed to make independent states and which existence was only rendered possible by the slow and extremely unwilling adoption Of the Federal Consti tution framed by the Convention of 1787, an adoption, as John Quincy Adams expressed it, extorted by the grinding necessities Of a reluctant nation.

Schedule of American Estate of General Robertson, in the editor's possession. See Note III. preceding. ing, on the ninth of that month. The next day, after examining the sworn proofs sent to them, and Livingston himself, that Committee "Resolved, that the said Robert G. Livingston hath manifested a disposition very unfriendly to the American cause, and ought not to be permitted longer to have an opportunity of exerting his influence to the prejudice of his country, therefore, "Resolved, That the said Robert G. Livingston be committed to the Gaol of the County of Ulster at Kingston, there to remain till such time as this Committee, or the Convention, or a future Legislature shall make further order concerning him, and that the keeper of said Gaol, do receive and detain him accordingly." 1 Shortly after Mr. Livingston requested a rehearing, and offered to disprove the charges, which request was granted. Mr. Egbert Benson and the committee of Rhinebeck and Mr. Livingston subsequently appeared on the 18th of January, 1777, before the Committee to detect Conspiracies, when the latter submitted his disproving evidence, but the Committee resolved "that the said Robert G. Livingston, jun., hath materially failed therein, and that his conduct was highly unfriendly to the American cause," but as he was willing to take the oath of allegiance to this State, it was "ordered that the said Robert G. Livingston, jun., be reprimanded, and on his taking the oath of allegiance aforesaid be discharged." He at once appeared, took the oath, and was discharged accordingly.' On the 6th of January, 1777, the Journal of the Provincial Convention states, that " A letter without signature directed to Robert G....

Lieutenant-Governor Colden to the Earl of Dartmouth. New York, ist June, 1774. The Act of Parliament shutting up the Port of Boston, was brought to this Place by a Merch' Vessell, a few Days before I received it from your Lordship's Office. The Act was immediately publish'd in all our News Papers, and was the subject of all Conversation. I knew that People universally in this Colony had received such Ideas of being taxed at the Pleasure of Parliament, that I was particularly anxious, upon this occasion, to discover the Sentiments of those who might have most Influence over others, and was assured by the Gentlemen of the Council, and others of weight in the City, that no means would be omitted, to prevent the hot headed People takeing any measures that might endanger the Peace and Quiet of the Colony. The Men who at that time call'd themselves the Committee--who dictated, and acted in the name of the People, were many of them, of the lower Rank and all, the warmest zealots of those call'd the Sons of Liberty.'--The more considerable Merchants & Citizens seldom or never appeared among them; but I believe were not displeased with the Clamour and Opposition that was shewn against internal Taxation by Parliament.--The Principal Inhabitants being now afraid that these hot headed men might run the City into dangerous measures, appealed in a considerable body, at the first Meeting of the People after the Boston Port Act was publish'd here.--They dissolved the former Committee, and appointed a new one of 51 Persons, in which care was taken to have a number of the most prudent and considerate People of the Place, some of them have not before join'd in the Public proceedings of the Opposition, and were induced to appear in what they are...

Book excerpt: From one of our most acclaimed and original colonial historians, a groundbreaking book tracing the critical "long year" of 1774 and the revolutionary change that took place from the Boston Tea Party and the First Continental Congress to the Battles of Lexington and Concord. A WALL STREET JOURNAL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR In this masterly work of history, the culmination of more than four decades of research and thought, Mary Beth Norton looks at the sixteen months leading up to the clashes at Lexington and Concord in mid-April 1775. This was the critical, and often overlooked, period when colonists traditionally loyal to King George III began their discordant “discussions” that led them to their acceptance of the inevitability of war against the British Empire. Drawing extensively on pamphlets, newspapers, and personal correspondence, Norton reconstructs colonial political discourse as it took place throughout 1774. Late in the year, conservatives mounted a vigorous campaign criticizing the First Continental Congress. But by then it was too late. In early 1775, colonial governors informed officials in London that they were unable to thwart the increasing power of local committees and their allied provincial congresses. Although the Declaration of Independence would not be formally adopted until July 1776, Americans had in effect “declared independence ” even before the outbreak of war in April 1775 by obeying the decrees of the provincial governments they had elected rather than colonial officials appointed by the king. Norton captures the tension and drama of this pivotal year and foundational moment in American history and brings it to life as no other historian has done before.
