Fresh struggles will be necessary to bring the English to reason. Had
Rockingham lived all would have been well, but Shelburne seems to be pledged to humoring
"the obstinate prejudices of his foolish Master." News of the family. He can understand
Mrs. Jay's preference for the United States. "The productions of this country, its
admirable situation for commerce, the impossibility of its being conquered whilst we are
united, all mark it out for a great empire." Nationalism is all-pervasive. Party
disputes in the state. Mr. Dickinson is chosen President. He resigned the Presidency
over Delaware to come here.
