12017-03-29T06:16:54-07:00Paxtons and Politics4plain2017-03-29T08:41:07-07:00Benjamin Franklin, lacking confidence in the proprietors’ ability to manage the unrest, began lobbying for royalization. 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?
