- Summary
- 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.
