Excerpt from The First Siege of Louisburg, 1745: An Address Delivered Before the New Hampshire Society of Colonial Wars, September 2, 1909 Gentlemen of the Society, Ladies and Gentlemen: At the beginning of the 18th century England, France and Spain were contending for the possession of the New World. The colonies of Spain were generally in the south and had no essential influence in determining the control of New England or Canada. France had possession of Canada and the territory along the ocean east of the Kennebec, and that fronting on the Gulf of St. Lawrence. In addition to Canada, these possessions were known by the French as Acadia, Isle St. Jean, St. Christopher and Isle Royale or Cape Breton. The English colonies extended from the Kennebec in Maine to the southern limit of Georgia. Theoretically they extended toward the west indefinitely. The French early in the century planned to extend their settlements in Canada along the river St. Lawrence and the Great Lakes and thence down the Ohio and the Mississippi to Louisiana, encircling by their stations and forts the colonies of England with the intention of preventing their growth westward. This plan was larger and wiser than they had the capacity to execute. The French were generally Romanists and the English Protestants - many of them Puritans. Each in time of war with the other sought the cooperation of the Indians. The French, by their courtesy and fellowship, even comradeship with them, were uniformly more successful in such alliances than the English. Besides this, the Indians were more attracted by the ornate rituals of the Catholic service and mass than by the cold rigidity of the Puritan or other forms of Protestant worship. The French usually had the friendship of the Indians near whom they resided, while the English and the Indians were generally distrustful of each other and frequently at war. But the English are better colonists than the French, and from the beginning their settlements were the more prosperous and populous. They continued to increase more rapidly in wealth and population, so that at the time of Queen Anne's War and King George's War the English residents in North America were more than double those of the French, and during the so-called French and English wars were at least ten times more numerous. Whenever France and England were at war their respective colonies were involved, so that for the twenty years preceding the Treaty of Paris in 1763 the Canadian and New England colonies were frequently under arms. Though each nation helped its colonies by powerful armaments, these wars were very exhausting to the colonies, both in men and money, and delayed their growth and prosperity. Today we are to consider one campaign of that almost continuous warfare - a campaign not lacking in picturesque incidents, brilliant exploits and practical results. Prior to the Treaty of Utrecht (1713) England and France held in North America the territory each had colonized.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1890 edition. Excerpt: ... afterthoughts And now comes the strangest part of the story. We get quite accustomed to thinking of the American colonies as the football of European diplomacy, our reading of history has fully prepared us for that: but we are not prepared to find events in the New World actually shaping the course of those in the Old. In a word, England lost the battle in Europe, -but won it in America. France was confounded at seeing the key to Canada in the hands of the enemy she had just beaten. England and France were like two duellists who have had a scuffle, in the course of which they have exchanged weapons. Instead of dictating terms, France had to compromise matters. For the sake of preserving her colonial possessions, she now had to give up her dearbought conquests on the continent of Europe. Hostilities were suspended. All the belligerents I agreed to restore what they had taken from each other, and cry quits; but it is plain that France would never have consented to such a settlement at a time when her adversaries were so badly crippled, when all England was in a ferment, and she hurrying back her troops from Holland in order to put down rebellion at home, thus leaving the coalition of which she was the head to stand or fall without her. France would not have stayed her victorious march, we think, under such circumstances as these, unless the nation's attention had been forcibly recalled to the gravity of the situation in America. In some respects this episode of history recalls the story of the mailed giant, armed to the teeth, and of the stripling with his sling. As all the conquests of this war were restored by the peace of Aix-la-Chapelle, Cape Breton went to France again. Thus had New England made herself felt across the Atlantic by an...
