Thanks for your patience during our recent outage. 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.

The push for royalization was unlikely, however, given that royalization would have entailed a standing army and perhaps even the establishment of the Church of England.
Hugh Williamson published this multi-part pamphlet shortly after the Resolves of Assembly on the royalization (March 24). He blames Quaker misrule for reports of settlers fleeing the colony.
Claypoole’s engraving serves as a visual counterpart to Plain Dealer. A Quaker rides a rifle-wielding Scotch-Irish Presbyterian. He is tethered to a tomahawk-clad Indian, who rides a blind-folded German. Benjamin Franklin stands to the left, clutching the Resolves of the Assembly.
This anonymous anti-Paxton pamphlet answers Conduct by denouncing the Paxtons and defending the Quakers. The writer corrects misrepresentations through a series of rhetorical questions.
Is the Governor a Quaker? Is his Council Quakers? Is the Majority of the Assembly Quakers?
