Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774-1789, Vol. 1 The Journals and Records of the Continental Congress have never been printed in full. The entries made from day to day by Secretary Charles Thomson were far from complete, and were subjected to revision by committees before publication; but the contemporary issues of the Journals have served as the basis of all subsequent reprints, and the original manuscript has remained almost unused, except by the curious bent upon studying the course of a certain measure. For the first time these valuable records of consultation and legislative action are now to be printed as written and as they were kept by the office of the Secretary of Congress. The entries will be supplemented by information gathered from the indorse ments made upon papers and reports laid before Congress, which often note action not entered upon the Journals, and from such other sources as will aid in reconstituting the proceedings of this Revolutionary body.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journals of the Continental Congress, Vol. 26: 1774-1789 Settlement of the Army's accounts, with their vexed problems of half-pay and commutation, together with the joint responsibility of the States and Congress in the matter, brought the powers of Congress into question and bid fair to open up disagreements which would lead into govern mental quagmires of serious possibilities. The cessions of western lands and a government for the new territory to be organized from them became matters of importance, but they were not carried far toward solution during 1784. Obtaining possession of the frontier posts from the British and the measures for garrisoning them by United States troops created the problem of a standing army, and Indian affairs became inextricably entangled with the military aspect of this problem.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774-1789, Vol. 7: 1777; January 1-May 21 The most important subject which engaged the Conti neutal Congress in the year 1777 was the Articles of Confederation, which after long consideration were laid before the States in November. The earlier forms of this instrument have been given in the volumes for 1776. By the reproduction in facsimile of a copy of the second printed version, with ms. Notes and emendations, the story of the consideration is more clearly told than by the text of the Journals. The final changes and form are given in the parallel versions printed under November 15, 1777. The amendments proposed by Thomas Burke (printed under May and the various reports and motions made from time to time, throw not a little light upon the spirit actuating some of the States, and point to the difficulties which were encountered in framing Arti cles that could be accepted by all of the thirteen separate and in a measure, independent, political entities.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774 1789, Vol. 4: Edited From the Original Records in the Library of Congress; 1776, January 1 June 4 The year 1776 includes some of the most important acts and papers of the Continental Congress. The Declara tion of Independence, the first forms of the Articles of Confederation, and the plan of treaties with foreign Powers were of high moment; and any one of these papers, when measured by results or consequences would be sufficient to distinguish the legislation of this year. The methods of treatment laid down in the former vol umes of this issue of the Journals have been continued. Of the Declaration no less than four forms or stages are recorded; of the Articles of Confederation three, and of the plan of treaties two, and ascheme of supplementary instructions for the negotiators. The formal mission of Silas Deane to interest the Court of France on the Side of the States, and the sending of commissioners to Europe to solicit recognition, trade and aid, were the beginnings of the diplomatic relations of the United States with foreign Powers. The earliest advance from the Court of France received no notice in the Journals, and deserves a mention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journals of the Continental Congress, Vol. 24: 1774-1789; January 1 August 29 The year 1783 not only increased the difficulties with which Congress had struggled through the preceding year but also created new embarrassments to intensify the ih herent weakness of the Confederation, though the successful termination of the armed conﬂict was plainly in sight. The political bands which had connected one people with another had been dissolved; but to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them required that the expense of the struggle to assume that station Should be honorably met. The attention of Congress there fore became absorbed in the ever - pressing problem of devising a practicable plan of providing a revenue and reducing the current expenditures of the General Govern ment. To the latter end committees were appointed in the second week in January to inquire into the administra tion of the Departments of Finance, War, Foreign Affairs, Post Office, and the Office of Agent of Marine.

This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774-1789, Vol. 22 The surrender of Lord Cornwallis, on October 19, 1781, and the meeting, in Paris, in the spring of 1782, of Envoys from the United States and England, to arrange terms of peace between the two countries, produced a feeling of reasonable confidence that the Revolution was drawing to a close. Thus the chief problems before the Congress were no longer mainly of a military character. The Army was maintained on a war basis as a precautionary measure, but arrangements were made for its reduction. Here, however, the difficulty which presented itself on every side arose to embarrass the Government. To raise an Army without regular funds with which to pay for it had been a difficult task; but to reduce or disband it without funds to pay for the services it had performed was even more difficult, and might be dangerous as well. General Washington reported to Congress that the Army was becoming very discontented. A serious incident occurred, which threatened to interrupt the passive attitude of the American and British forces. On April 29 a letter, of April 20, from General Washington was read, reporting that Captain Joshua Huddy, commanding a small body of American troops, had been captured and hanged by Tory refugees in Monmouth County, New Jersey, under Captain Richard Lippincott. Captain Charles Asgill, a British officer of rank equal with Huddy's, a prisoner of war, was selected by lot to suffer the same fate as Huddy, in retaliation. His fate hung in the balance while General Washington and Sir Guy Carleton were in correspondence over the question of the guilt and punishment of Lippincott.
