About this ebook

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 In 1721, Isaac Norris, a Quaker man, purchased a copy of The American Almanack for the Year of Christian Account, 1722. The book warned of a Total Eclipse of the Moon that would be visible on June 17th. Every one of Leeds’s predictions came to pass in 1722.

#2 The founding of the United States was not a simple diplomatic instrument. The colonists who went to Albany for cross-cultural discussions in 1722 could not have known that they were enacting a key moment in American culture. They regarded the Native leaders they met as simple savages.

#3 The Pennsylvanian case of 1722 showed that Native American philosophy could coexist with European philosophy. The Susquehannock man who represented the Native peoples, Captain Civility, tried to teach the colonists the strength of their Indigenous commitment to building community.

#4 The founding document of Pennsylvania, the charter granted by the English Crown, declared that Penn was acting out of a commendable desire to expand their English Empire and promote useful commodities. For the English, the value of civil society was theirs to share with savages.

    In 1721, Isaac Norris, a Quaker man, purchased a copy of The American Almanack for the Year of Christian Account, 1722. The book warned of a Total Eclipse of the Moon that would be visible on June 17th. Every one of Leeds’s predictions came to pass in 1722.

    #2

    The founding of the United States was not a simple diplomatic instrument. The colonists who went to Albany for cross-cultural discussions in 1722 could not have known that they were enacting a key moment in American culture. They regarded the Native leaders they met as simple savages.

    #3

    The Pennsylvanian case of 1722 showed that Native American philosophy could coexist with European philosophy. The Susquehannock man who represented the Native peoples, Captain Civility, tried to teach the colonists the strength of their Indigenous commitment to building community.

    #4

    The founding document of Pennsylvania, the charter granted by the English Crown, declared that Penn was acting out of a commendable desire to expand their English Empire and promote useful commodities. For the English, the value of civil society was theirs to share with savages.

    The English Empire, which was based on the classical theory of civility, took strength from the fact that its architects believed they were superior to the people they conquered. The rise of moral philosophy, which exalted civility, coincided with and helped underwrite the modern age of empire.

    #6

    While the English believed that they were the first to introduce civil society to Native peoples, in reality, they were simply misunderstanding the concept. Native peoples were interested in establishing relations of reciprocity that would expand their circles of community.

    #7

    The British Crown was threatening to take control of the Penn family’s colony, and the Quaker elite were not entirely enamored of the new Anglican governor, William Keith. They were gravely concerned that the greed of these two men would destabilize relations with Native people in the region.

    #8

    The British were trying to expand their territory, but they knew they would make more progress by keeping the Five Nations beside them than by facing them off. The British understood that they were living within a Haudenosaunee axis of influence.

    #9

    The book reveals the daily lives of the region’s Native people, who were swept up in the case. They insisted on restorative healing for communities, while the English stressed punitive measures for individual perpetrators.

    #10

    The Cartlidge brothers were two fur traders who were charged with the death of a Seneca hunter named
