Mr. Speaker, fellow Members, ladies and gentlemen : December of 1773, a grouP'of Boston citizens, outraged with a new British tax on tea, swarmed over three British ships in the Harbor and dumped the . cargo overboard. In the spring of 1774, the British Parliament, responding sternly, enacted the doe'itive Acts, closing "the Port of Boston, quartering troops in Boston. and exempting British officials from trial in the Colony's courts. The colonists called these the IntolerablelActs and they were the central subject of discussiOn when the First Continental Congress met on Septem- ber 5,1774. Out of this session came a "Declaration and Resblves" of colonial rights and an agreement to stand together in boycotting commerce with Great Britain. \ The thirst \for liberty and justice and a willingness to sacrifice for it was the initial manifestation of the spirit that produced the Declaration of Inde- . pendente, the Constitution, thc Bill of Rights, and a 200-yer tradition of representative government, preservipg freedom and dignity for all Amer-- tans. Today we meet to commemorate the 200th anniversary of that First . Congress. The other members of your Arrangements Committee are: The Honorable Joseph M. McDade, of Pennsylvania, the Honorable James M. Hanley, of New York, and the Honorable Jack F. Kemp, of New York.

The representatives held a different opinion of the conflict, believing that the proprietors were the ones scheming, in order to “erect their desired Superstructure of despotic Power, and reduce to

    Galloway's Speech to Continental Congress, September 1774 - American Memory Timeli ... Page 1 of 3 Library of Congress Teachers The Library of Congress > Teachers > Classroom Materials > Presentations and Activities > Timeline Print Subscribe Share/Save Give Feedback home Joseph Galloway served as a delegate from Pennsylvania to the First Continental Congress in 1774. By 1776, Galloway had become a Tory and then left the colonies for England. In the following speech to the Continental Congress, what position does Galloway take concerning the relationship between Britain and its North American colonies? What arguments does he use to support his position? View the original document from the Journals of the Continental Congress in A Century of Lawmaking for a New Nation . Use your browser's Back Button to return to this point. If we sincerely mean to accommodate the difference between the two countries, and to establish their union on more firm and constitutional principles, we must take into consideration a number of facts which led the Parliament to pass the acts complained of, since the year 1763, and the real state of the Colonies. A clear and perfect knowledge of these matters only can lead us to the ground of substantial redress and permanent harmony. I will therefore call your recollection to the dangerous situation of the Colonies from the intrigues of France, and the incursions of the Canadians and their Indian allies, at the commencement of the last war. None of us can be ignorant of the just sense they then entertained of that danger, and of their incapacity to defend themselves against it, nor of the supplications made to the Parent State for its assistance, nor of the cheerfulness with which Great-Britain sent over her fleets and armies for their protection, of the millions she expended in that protection, and of the happy consequences which attended it.

  • Philadelphia, the Indispensable City of the American Founding the FPRI Ginsburg—Satell Lecture 2020 Colonial Philadelphia
    Philadelphia, the Indispensable City of the American Founding The FPRI Ginsburg—Satell Lecture 2020 Colonial Philadelphia Though its population was only 35,000 to 40,000 around 1776 Philadelphia was the largest city in North America and the second-largest English- speaking city in the world! Its harbor and central location made it a natural crossroads for the 13 British colonies. Its population was also unusually diverse, since the original Quaker colonists had become a dwindling minority among other English, Scottish, and Welsh inhabitants, a large admixture of Germans, plus French Huguenots, Dutchmen, and Sephardic Jews. But Beware of Prolepsis! Despite the city’s key position its centrality to the American Revolution was by no means inevitable. For that matter, American independence itself was by no means inevitable. For instance, William Penn (above) and Benjamin Franklin (below) were both ardent imperial patriots. We learned of Franklin’s loyalty to King George III last time…. Benjamin Franklin … … and the Crisis of the British Empire The FPRI Ginsburg-Satell Lecture 2019 The First Continental Congress met at Carpenters Hall in Philadelphia where representatives of 12 of the colonies met to protest Parliament’s Coercive Acts, deemed “Intolerable” by Americans. But Congress (narrowly) rejected the Galloway Plan under which Americans would form their own legislature and tax themselves on behalf of the British crown. Hence, “no taxation without representation” wasn’t really the issue. WHAT IF… The Redcoats had won the Battle of Bunker Hill (left)? The Continental Army had not escaped capture on Long Island (right)? Washington had been shot at the Battle of Brandywine (left)? Or dared not undertake the risky Yorktown campaign (right)? Why did King Charles II grant William Penn a charter for a New World colony nearly as large as England itself? Nobody knows, but his intention was to found a Quaker colony dedicated to peace, religious toleration, and prosperity.

  • The Brothers Low
    THE BROTHERS LOW Submitted by Sam McKenzie, April 2020 Sam McKenzie is a retired petrochemical engineer. He graduated from the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, with a Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1966. After 33 years in the petrochemical industry he retired to Saratoga County NY and volunteered to perform historical research for the Brookside Museum starting in 2015. Sam can be reached at [email protected] Isaac Low Nicholas Low Isaac (1731-91) and Nicholas Low (1739-1826) were born in New Jersey, but spent their lives as successful businessmen and Manhattanites. Nevertheless, they had a significant influence upon the development of Saratoga County in the late 18th Century and particularly the founding of Ballston Spa. They were of Dutch stock. Consequently, they pronounced their surname to rhyme with Cow and not Snow. If unconvinced, please telephone the Historical Society of Lowville, NY (also founded by the Lows) and see how they answer. The brothers differed in their approach to politics. The powerful merchants of New York City apparently chose Isaac as a “safe pair of hands” into which they could entrust the chairmanship of five successive “Committees of Correspondence” between 1765 and 1775. These represented the city and coordinated with the other colonies in opposition to taxes imposed by the British Parliament. The British Crown saw them as highly illegal, as was the First Continental Congress which Isaac attended. Brother Nicholas seems to have been uninvolved in these matters. Unfortunately for Isaac, his political stance was founded on two incompatible principles, “no taxation without representation”, but also “my ambition is to live and die as a British subject”.
