  • Few Americans in the 1790S Would Have Predicted That the Subject Of
    AMERICAN NAVAL POLICY IN AN AGE OF ATLANTIC WARFARE: A CONSENSUS BROKEN AND REFORGED, 1783-1816 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jeffrey J. Seiken, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor John Guilmartin, Jr., Advisor Professor Margaret Newell _______________________ Professor Mark Grimsley Advisor History Graduate Program ABSTRACT In the 1780s, there was broad agreement among American revolutionaries like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton about the need for a strong national navy. This consensus, however, collapsed as a result of the partisan strife of the 1790s. The Federalist Party embraced the strategic rationale laid out by naval boosters in the previous decade, namely that only a powerful, seagoing battle fleet offered a viable means of defending the nation's vulnerable ports and harbors. Federalists also believed a navy was necessary to protect America's burgeoning trade with overseas markets. Republicans did not dispute the desirability of the Federalist goals, but they disagreed sharply with their political opponents about the wisdom of depending on a navy to achieve these ends. In place of a navy, the Republicans with Jefferson and Madison at the lead championed an altogether different prescription for national security and commercial growth: economic coercion. The Federalists won most of the legislative confrontations of the 1790s. But their very success contributed to the party's decisive defeat in the election of 1800 and the abandonment of their plans to create a strong blue water navy.

  • We Tell Portsmouth Stories”
    “We Tell Portsmouth Stories” Treasures from The Portsmouth Historical Society February 3 – May 1, 2004 The Randall Room At the Portsmouth Athenæum 6-8 Market Square Portsmouth, NH This project was generously funded by the Rosamond Thaxter Foundation "We Tell Portsmouth Stories” highlights the multi-faceted collections of the Portsmouth Historical Society and shareswith the public the exciting results of new research –not only on specific objects, but also on the ways in which they can deepen our understanding of Portsmouth's past. At the same time, it serves as an introduction to the history of Portsmouth from the colonial era to the early twentieth century. The Portsmouth Athenæum has sponsored exhibitions in its Randall Room Gallery for the last five years. This show of treasures from the Portsmouth Historical Society represents the first in a planned series of winter exhibitions drawn from the collections of historical societies and house museums in the Piscataqua region. The series will offer an opportunity to experience objects from these diverse collections in a new setting and context, and provide an important new venue for the many museums that are closed during the winter months. It will also provide a chance to explore the fascinating and revealing connections between materials owned by different organizations. We are grateful to the Exhibits Committee of the Portsmouth Athenæum and Keeper Thomas Hardiman for their enthusiastic support of this collaborative undertaking, which is being developed by a steering committee that also includes representatives from the American Independence Museum, Moffatt-Ladd House, Old York Historical Society, the Portsmouth Historical Society, the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities, Strawbery Banke Museum, Warner House, the Wentworth-Gardner and Tobias Lear Association, and the Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion.

The 19th of April is a date of singular significance in the calendar of American history. It is also a day of peculiar endearment to every patriot heart. Lexington and Concord, the announcement of peace with Great Britain, the passage of the Massachusetts Sixth through the scowling and hissing mobs of secession in Baltimore city. Oh, rich, natal day of Independence and Union ! How we of this genera- tion, almost touching the dial hands of another century, should remem- ber and honor this auspicious day. Let us resolve that the bright fire of this society be annually kindled, that its members, the descendants of those who struck the first blow for national supremacy may com- mingle with those who, eighty-six years later, struck the last blow that made this nation one and indivisible. Here let us renew our oaths of perpetual allegiance to the welfare of our country ; here let us try oiu"- selves by the lofty standard of the fathers, and be inspired by their revered memory. Wednesday, the 19th of April, 1775, was no surprise to the Sons of Liberty. The storm had long been growing dark and the air was full of electricity ; only the final spark needed to be touched.

  • Self-Guided Tour of the Reading Room Portsmouth Athenaeum
    Self-Guided Tour of the Reading Room Portsmouth Athenaeum Reading Room Copy – Please leave for others to enjoy 1 Courtesy of the Portsmouth Athenaeum, Portsmouth, N.H. Introduction This history of the Portsmouth Athenaeum and content highlights of the Reading Room is divided into sections: - Introduction - Paintings, Documents and Artifacts in the Reading Room - Resources available, see staff person for access - A Brief History of the Portsmouth Athenaeum The Portsmouth Athenaeum, a Library and Museum, was founded in 1817 at a time when there were no public libraries, and books were costly and hard to find. Sixteen such institutions remain in the United States. Its articles of incorporation stated that the Athenaeum was to be a repository for “valuable and rare productions in the various arts and sciences”. The collections throughout the building, acquired over many years, largely by gifts and bequests, reflect that original goal. The proprietors (original members) purchased this building from the New Hampshire Fire and Marine Insurance Company. Following disastrous fires in Portsmouth in the early 1800s, this was one of the first brick building to be built and one of the finest on Market Square. The back room has a very unusual curved door, attesting to the skills of early Portsmouth woodworkers. The large, main room has always been used as both a reading room and a meeting place. In an 1879 memoir, Proprietor Frank Hackett wrote “It was the custom of the prominent business and professional men of the town, with a sprinkling of retired sea captains, at the close of the business day to drop into the Athenaeum for a social chat.” The two cannons which stand outside the front door were taken by Commodore Perry at the Battle of Lake Erie on September 20, 1813.

In 1622 Mason received from the Council for New England a grant of all the land between the Naumkeag and Merrimack Rivers, which he proposed to call Mariana. Later in the same year he and Sir Ferdinando Gorges received a grant of all the land between the Merrimack and Kennebec Rivers, extending 60 miles inland, which they called the Province of Maine. In 1629 Mason alone received a grant of the land between the Merrimack and Piscataqua Rivers, and this he called New Hampshire, his home being in Hampshire, England. The territory east of the Piscataqua was assigned to Gorges, and both grantees entered enthusiastically upon plans for settling their new domains. On Nov. 17, 1629, only ten days after the grant of New Hampshire to Capt. Mason, a SOMK THINGS great tract of land covering practically the same coast limits, but extending inland to what is now Lake Champlain, was granted to Mason and Gorges together, and called Laconia. The reason for this grant is not clear.

Kehr, 2000 Thirteen unique rebellions against British authority simmered in America prior to April 19, 1775. Four months before the bloodshed at Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts, New Hampshire’s rebellion crossed the line into overt insurrection. On December 14, 1774, patriots faced gunfire to storm the colony’s provincial arsenal; a fort in the British empire’s system of American defenses, manned by soldiers who reported to a royal governor appointed directly by the Crown. In the violent course of their assault, the raiders gave three cheers, hauled down the British flag and made off with about 100 barrels of gunpowder. It was plainly treason and New Hampshire’s friends of liberty added to their crime the following evening. On December 15, 1774, they again raided the fort, this time absconding with small arms, miscellaneous military supplies and, above all, 16 cannon clearly marked as the property of the King.
