    DELAWARE- The First State in the Union DELAWARE- The First State in the Union By GEORGE H. RYDEN - d' . � �- ..-....,_.! / - -✓ "/ Published by Delaware Tercentenary Commission Wilmington, Delaware 1938 Copyright 1938 PREFATORY NOTE It was inauguration day in Washington, and the great parade was coming along Pennsylvania Avenue. When the delegation from the State of Delaware was seen to lead the van of state rep­ resentatives, a lady from Virginia was heard to exclain1: "I thought Virginia was the first State in the Union! Was not the :first Eng­ lish settlement in America made at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607? Why should Delaware be first?" The answer that the perturbed lady received will appear somewhere in this treatise. G. H. R. University of Delaware March 29, 1938 PART I DELAWARE AND THE ANNAPOLIS CONVENTION The failure of the Articles of Confederation to provide for a strong government, establish the credit of the United States on a firm basis, as well as make for freedom of trade and navigation among the several States, became especially apparent after the close of the Revolutionary War. Several attempts were made by the Confederation Congress to secure amendments to the Articles, but, since it was necessary for all the States to ratify an amendment before it could become a part of the fundamental law of the land, no amendments were ever adopted. Always some State legislature would oppose a change. The attitude of the State of Delaware with regard to granting more power to the central government was, however, singularly enlightened and consistent. In the very year of the signing of the treaty of peace, 1783, the General Assembly of Delaware, on June 21, passed an act in response to a resolution of Congress for establishing the credit of the Union, and on the same day it au­ thorized the State's delegates in Congress to ratify a change of part of the eighth article of the Articles of Confederation, which pro­ vided "that all charges of war and all other expenses that have been or shall be incurred for the common defense or general wel- .

At that time, it existed only in newsprint form. In the months since the history first appeared, however, the response from the general public has been such that I and my employers at Community Newspapers, Inc., have decided to publish this permanent, limited edition of one thousand copies for those readers who wish to own a copy of the history in more durable form than its original newspaper version. In publishing the history in permanent form; we realize that we owe much to the nine Sussex County firms and organizations who sponsored the original printing. We also feel that their original sponsoring pages are an integral part of the whole. For that reason, those pages are a part of this edition as they were of the original.
