Dissertation Intro TITLE PAGE-1 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Loyalty and Disloyalty to the Bourbon Dynasty in Spanish America and the Philippines During the War of the Spanish Succession (1700-1715) A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Aaron Alejandro Olivas 2013 © Copyright by Aaron Alejandro Olivas 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Loyalty and Disloyalty to the Bourbon Dynasty in Spanish America and the Philippines During the War of the Spanish Succession (1700-1715) by Aaron Alejandro Olivas Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Kathryn Norberg, Chair My project analyzes the transatlantic consequences of the War of the Spanish Succession, one of the first global wars. Focusing primarily on relations between Spanish America and France, it establishes a connection between colonial resistance to the Spanish crown, interactions between European empires, and global trade. Previous scholars have assumed that Spain’s overseas empire accepted the transition from Habsburg to Bourbon rule without complaint, however my project reveals that the succession acted as a catalyst fomenting disloyalty throughout the viceroyalties of New Spain and Peru. Representing a wide social and ethnic spectrum, wartime disloyalty cases illustrate the complexity of challenging Spanish imperial rule a century before the independence movements. ! ""! My project also demonstrates that trans-imperial forces actually shaped the contours of the Spanish empire. It provides concrete evidence as to how interactions between Spanish colonial subjects, foreign merchants, and the French, English, and Dutch governments steered personal loyalties regarding Spanish sovereignty during such political crises. Furthermore, it offers a new political perspective on the transatlantic slave trade. During the war, the directors of France’s slave company formed alliances with Spanish colonial elites and facilitated the sale of political offices to officials who not only protected French trade in the Spanish colonies, but also actively prosecuted Habsburg sympathizers for treason. Thus, through a French- held slave monopoly, the Bourbon dynasty was able to negotiate local loyalty, undermine its enemies, and consolidate its control of Spanish America. The project incorporates a range of unpublished sources from Mexico, Spain, and France: pamphlets, legal transcripts from colonial audiencias and Spain’s Council of the Indies, correspondence between Spanish colonial elites and Louis XIV’s ministers at Versailles, and records of England’s Colonial Office. !

Acknowledgements It takes a village to write a dissertation. I would like to thank the many advisors, institutions, colleagues, and family members who provided the encouragement that made this project possible. My advisor Kathryn Norberg has been a tremendous mentor, whose guidance and knowledge as a historian proved vital. This dissertation would not have been possible without her. I am also indebted to my exceptional and truly “global” dissertation committee, Geoffrey Symcox, Claudia Parodi, and Kevin Terraciano. I also received invaluable assistance from other scholars in the field. William Summerhill and Robin Derby provided much appreciated support at UCLA. Tamar Herzog and Carla Rahn Phillips were particularly honest and generous with their advice regarding perspective and documentation. I have also benefited from the insight of historians from Spain, Latin America, and France, particularly Rafael Fernández Sotelo and Luis Navarro García. This dissertation was largely supported by a Fulbright IIE grant to Spain. The faculty of the Departamento de Historia de América at the Universidad de Sevilla kindly sponsored my project as I worked at the Archivo General de Indias. The Program for Cultural Cooperation Between Spain’s Ministry of Culture and U.S. Universities and the International Seminar on the History of the Atlantic World at Harvard University further facilitated my research abroad. I am thankful for the numerous research and writing grants I received from UCLA, in particular from the Department of History, the Center for European and Eurasian Studies, the Latin ! #""! American Institute, and the Burkle Center for International Relations. The support of the UC Diversity Initiative for Graduate Studies in the Social Sciences, the Center for Seventeenth- and Eighteenth-Century Studies, and the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies allowed me to present at conferences in the United States and Europe, where my work evolved. I would also like to thank my many colleagues in the field. I am grateful to Kristina Poznan, Francisco Eissa-Barroso, Ainara Vázquez, Deborah Bauer, and Susan Cribbs for reading my work. I would like to thank Dorleta Apaolasa, Carla Aragón, Alex Boruki, Kaja Cook, Edward Collins, Consolación Fernández, Bethan Fisk, Guillermo García Montufar, Guillaume Hanotin, Nick Saenz, Daniel Wasserman-Soler, and David Wheat for our conversations at the archives, academic conferences, and over meals. At UCLA, I am indebted to Tiffany Gleason, Covadonga Lamar, Jimena Rodríguez, Lizy Moromisato, Erin Buker, and Jennifer Ng for their support. I could not have endured the ups and downs of graduate school without my dear friends Leslie Waters and Xochitl Flores. Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends for providing me with love and encouragement at home: my partner Luis, my parents Lucille and Antonio, siblings Andrea and Tony, my nieces, Wanda and Alex, Jessica and Jeff, Lillian, Bertha and Danielle, Auntie Dolores, and my grandparents Dolores and Lucio. ! #"""!

The discovered land held new resources, new territory, and new peoples. Conquistadors were enthralled by the lure of gold and territory. But the Spanish government and colonists faced the problem of the nature and status of the people that already inhabited these lands. Were they to be treated as equals, serfs, or slaves? Were they even really people? The answers to these questions were complex and unclear. The Spanish crown made many laws regarding how the natives and colonists should interact, however, much of this legislation was ignored by colonists and conquerors. Most of the colonists were more than happy to exploit the natives, but some religious orders opposed this exploitation. One of the most outspoken defenders of indigenous rights was the Dominican Order. An especially tenacious Dominican defender of natives' rights was Fr. Bartolome de Las Casas, who campaigned for native rights during the early and mid-sixteenth century. As this paper will show, Las Casas’ championship of indigenous rights was shaped by his European heritage. II The Spanish conquest of the New World happened in concurrence with the Renaissance in Europe.

  • Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial
    Navigating the Atlantic World: Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial Networks, 1650-1791 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University by Jamie LeAnne Goodall, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Newell, Advisor John Brooke David Staley Copyright by Jamie LeAnne Goodall 2016 Abstract This dissertation seeks to move pirates and their economic relationships from the social and legal margins of the Atlantic world to the center of it and integrate them into the broader history of early modern colonization and commerce. In doing so, I examine piracy and illicit activities such as smuggling and shipwrecking through a new lens. They act as a form of economic engagement that could not only be used by empires and colonies as tools of competitive international trade, but also as activities that served to fuel the developing Caribbean-Atlantic economy, in many ways allowing the plantation economy of several Caribbean-Atlantic islands to flourish. Ultimately, in places like Jamaica and Barbados, the success of the plantation economy would eventually displace the opportunistic market of piracy and related activities. Plantations rarely eradicated these economies of opportunity, though, as these islands still served as important commercial hubs: ports loaded, unloaded, and repaired ships, taverns attracted a variety of visitors, and shipwrecking became a regulated form of employment. In places like Tortuga and the Bahamas where agricultural production was not as successful, illicit activities managed to maintain a foothold much longer.

    THE TULANE EUROPEAN AND CIVIL LAW FORUM VOLUME 31/32 2017 A Confusion of Institutions: Spanish Law and Practice in a Francophone Colony, Louisiana, 1763-circa 1798 Paul E Hoffman* I.

SLAVERY ............................................................................................. 13 IV. CONCLUSION ...................................................................................... 20 I. INTRODUCTION French Louisiana had been a thorn in the flank of Spain’s Atlantic Empire from its founding in 1699. Failure to remove that thorn in 1699 and again in 1716, when doing so would have been comparatively easy and Spanish naval forces were positioned to do so, meant that by 1762 the wound had festered, so that the colony had become what La Salle, Iberville, Bienville, and their royal masters had envisioned: a smuggling station through which French goods reached New Spain and Cuba and their goods—dye stuffs and silver mostly—reached France and helped to pay the costs of a colony that consumed more than it produced, at least so 1 far as the French crown’s finances were concerned. * © 2017 Paul E Hoffman.

Lehning , Chair of the Department of History and by Charles A. Wight, Dean of The Graduate School. ABSTRACT The long and lucrative history of smuggling in the early modern period receives the attention of colonial scholars only as it relates to their isolated geographic field of study, ignoring the broader history that linked imperial economies in a mercantilist age. This thesis addresses the history of eighteenth-century smuggling in the Caribbean by examining both British and Spanish sources in order to shift the angle of focus away from imperial metanarratives and towards an understanding of the commercial networks forged between Spanish and British colonists on the periphery of empire. By examining the contraband trade between Jamaican merchants and residents of Cartagena, this work explores the blurred lines of colonial jurisprudence as well as the commercial networks necessary to the survival of those colonial spheres.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • He Catalan Sovereignty Process and the Spanish Constitutional Court. an Analysis of Reciprocal Impacts *
    THE CATALAN SOVEREIGNTY PROCESS AND THE SPANISH CONSTITUTIONAL COURT. AN ANALYSIS OF RECIPROCAL IMPACTS * Eduard Roig i Molés** Abstract Since 2013 the Catalan sovereignty process and the Spanish Constitutional Court have increasingly been at odds with one another. This situation has altered the course of the Catalan sovereignty process, with the interventions of the Court notable for having a major bearing on sovereignty initiatives. The aim of this study is to analyse not just the constitutional jurisprudence, but also the transformation of the Catalan sovereignty process based on the decisions of the Constitutional Court, how these decisions have affected the course of action taken by Catalan institutions, and the effects and efficacy of the Court’s judgments, court orders and rulings in curbing the intentions of Catalan institutions. Conversely, the Catalan sovereignty process has had a major impact on the position of the Constitutional Court and its functions, relating to the Court’s jurisprudence and the political choices of regional and state institutions, and this impact is likewise analysed. Lastly, attention is given to the ‘collateral’ effects the Constitutional Court’s intervention in the Catalan sovereignty process has had on a number of other areas of Spain’s constitutional system. Keywords: Spanish Constitutional Court; constitutional law; sovereignty; Catalan sovereignty process Resum Des de l’any 2013, el procés sobiranista s’ha enfrontat progressivament amb el Tribunal Constitucional i ha provocat una mutació del procés
