Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

WHEREAS the Peace and Security of our Colonies and Plantations upon the Continent of America, does greatly depend upon the Amity and Alliance of the several Nations and Tribes of Indians bordering upon the said Colonies, and upon a just and faithful Observance of those Treaties and Compacts, which have been heretofore solemnly entered into with the said Indians, by our Royal Predecessors, Kings and Queens of this Realm. And whereas, notwithstanding the repeated Instructions which have been, from Time to Time, given by our late Royal Grandfather, to the Governors of our several Colonies upon this Head, the said Indians have made, and do still continue to make great Complaints, that Settlements have been made, and Possession taken of Lands, the Property of which they have by Treaty reserved to themselves, by Persons claiming the said Lands, under pretence of Deeds of Sale and Conveyance illegally, fraudulently and surreptitiously obtained of the said Indians: And whereas it has likewise been represented to us, that some of our Governors, or other chief Officers of our said Colonies, regardless of the Duty they owe to us, and of the Welfare and
