The Influence of Rotterdam Thinkers Upon New York's 1689 Leislerians Movement
ROTTERDAM-MANHATTAN CONNECTIONS: THE INFLUENCE OF ROTTERDAM THINKERS UPON NEW YORK'S 1689 LEISLERIANS MOVEMENT DOOR DAVID WILLIAM VOORHEES In 1991 Michiel Wielema published H/<WÖ/ÉTZ tf<z« ^MM, a chronicle of five hundred years of philosophical thought in Rotterdam. He recognized the importance of Rotterdam as a center of early Enlightenment, but did not fully expand upon the influence of the city's intellectual life abroad.' A 1689 uprising in New York, popular- ly known as Leisler's Rebellion, reveals, however, that in the 1680s Rotterdam thinkers played a role in the development of political ideo- logy in the former Dutch West India Company colony. This paper examines the influence of a coterie of Rotterdam theorists that inclu- ded Jacobus Borstius, Pierre Jurieu and Frans Kuyper upon New York's Leislerian movement. A December 1689 dispute over the validity of a customs act high- lights the ideological differences between the factions rending New York in the wake of England's 1688 Glorious Revolution. On Decem- ber 19 a 'plakkaat' appeared in New York City condemning rebel leader Jacob Leisler's resurrection several days earlier of a 1683 New York assembly act for raising government revenues. Citing the Magna Carta and statutes of English kings Edward I, Richard III and Charles I, the authors declared 'that no man thenceforth be Compeld to Make or yield any gift Loan benevolence tax or such Like Charge without Common Consent by act of parliament'.^ The following day Leisler responded with a declaration against the 'false construction on the wholesome Lawes of England not regarding An Act of the ffreemen represented in Assembly', and concluded that the English constitution guarenteed the 'Supreame Legislative Authority under his Maties & ca shall for ever be & reside in a Governor, Councill & the People met in Generall Assembly'.3 At issue was not whether an English sovereign should reign over the 196 province; both sides agreed that one should. -
An Early and Unique American Settlement Ew Rochelle in the 17
An Early and Unique American Settlement ew Rochelle in the 17 th and 18 th Centuries In the early years of New York, when only a few small hamlets dotted the forests and fields of what is now Westchester County, a small group of French Protestant refugees called “Huguenots”, made their way to a stretch of land that began at the banks of Long Island Sound. Having fled their homeland to realize a life in which they could practice their Protestant religion freely, the dozen or so families, with Jacob Leisler acting as the go-between, purchased 6,000 acres from John Pell, signing the deed in 1689. They named it after the last Huguenot stronghold in France, the Port of La Rochelle. These early settlers chose their new home wisely. The land was fertile and farmable. Its Long Island Sound location provided for abundant fishing, gainful tidal mills and lucrative water- related trade and industry. The new community was connected to northern settlements and to New York by the Boston Post Road—the leading thoroughfare of the Colonies, which traced the ancient pathways of the Siwanoy Indians along the Sound shoreline. It was also only 18 miles to reach the French Church in Manhattan, and about 24 miles to the mercantile hub of New York. Merchants, landowners, tradesmen, farmers… despite their varied backgrounds, the first forty or so families shared a desire to worship freely. They had the joint disadvantage of having little money or material goods. All had been left behind in France during their flights to safety. -

CITY OF NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK, AS SEEN FROM THE AIR IN 1938. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE By HERBERT B. NICHOLS Published Bv, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION NEW ROCHELLE/ NEW YORK 1938 COPYRIGHT 1938 BY HERBERT B. NICHOLS FIRST EDITION PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE LITTLE PRINT, NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE FOREWORD To the publication ~f a little booklet designed for classroom use throughout the public schools of New Rochelle treating of sig nificant events in the historic development of the city, impetus was given early this year by the observance of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the fou~ding of the "Queen City of the Sound". Preparation at th~t tiine for a pageant revealed that only isolated bits of historic materials were available and that nowhere I was there in print, suitable for school use, a concise and orderly treatment of the circumstances and conditions that led, first, to the selection of a site for refuge for. the fleeing French Huguenots and, later, to its settlement and dev,elopnient. To meet the deficiency, a committee was entrusted with the responsibility of assembling, preparing and editing all known information. How well that job was done "Historic New Rochelle" reveals. Not a booklet, but a full-sized text, scholarly, well organized, care fully and authentically documented, and yet, withal, attractively written, interestingly and entertainingly presented, is here given the girls and boys, their parents, the teaching staff, and others who may be interested. In the pages and chapters which follow, environ ment becomes a living reality and the reader is privileged to follow, from t}:le beginning to the present, the colorful and intricate threads that make up the historic and fascinating tapestry of New Rochelle. -

A Union Officer's Recollections of the Negro As a Soldier
A UNION OFFICER'S RECOLLECTIONS OF THE NEGRO AS A SOLDIER BY hORACEl I INTGOAlFRY* A LTHOUG1H the Negro figured prominently in the background to the American Civil War, the federal government was re- luctant to accept him as a soldier. Not until mid-summer of 1862 was tile Lincoln administration authorized to receive colored re- cruits.' Systematic enrollment did not come until the next Year, molnths after the Emlancipation Proclamation. So strong was northern prejudice against putting the black man in a blue uni- form that IHar'er's Weekly devoted three pages of its issue of March 14, 1863, to illustrations of Negroes as soldiers, its editor frankly admitting that he hoped thereby to counteract the un- fortunate state of public feeling on the subject. On October 21. 1863, Horace Greeley's New York Tribune blistered Governor Horatio Seymour for refusing to follow the examples of Pennsyl- vania and MAlassachiusetts in recruiting Negroes for service in the Union cause. On May 22. 1863, the War Department finally ordered the establishment of the Bureau for Colored Troops. Within a month Major George L. Stearns was appointed recruiting officer for colored troops in the eastern and middle states. He promptly went to Philadelphia and there, amidst much enthusiasm, began his assignment.2 * Dr. Montgomery is Professor of History at the University of Georgia.

The number of persons examined by the Board during the year is 428, the number registered is 292, the number re jected is 136.
