Abstract: The Seven Years' War worked as a catalyst of mutations already present before the hostilities. The case is particularly palpable when we consider the transformation of American, British, and French political culture between 1756 and 1763. In America, William Pitt's colonial policy based on partnership led after the peace to a huge disappointment in America and a growing tension with London. Eventually, it paved the way for the revolt of the Sons of Liberty. In Great Britain, the ideological and political consequences of the war were no less dramatic. Pitt's patriot policy, which was in many respects a mirror of the colonists' political culture based on the same republican principles, brought a decisive contribution to the birth of radicalism after the peace. Last but not least, French political culture was deeply affected by the conflict. A new conception of the political role of the French people emerged during the war, leading to the transformation of the subjects of Louis XV into self-proclaimed citizens willing to offer spontaneously their services for the common weal.
摘要:七年战争是敌对行动之前就已存在的变异的催化剂。当我们考虑 1756 年至 1763 年间美国、英国和法国政治文化的转变时,这种情况尤为明显。在美国,威廉-皮特(William Pitt)基于伙伴关系的殖民政策导致了和平之后美国国内的巨大失望以及与伦敦之间日益紧张的关系。最终,这为自由之子的起义铺平了道路。在英国,战争在意识形态和政治方面的影响也同样巨大。皮特的爱国者政策在很多方面都是殖民者政治文化的一面镜子,而殖民者的政治文化也是建立在同样的共和原则之上的,皮特的爱国者政策为和平之后激进主义的诞生做出了决定性的贡献。最后但并非最不重要的一点是,法国的政治文化深受冲突的影响。战争期间出现了关于法国人民政治角色的新概念,导致路易十五的臣民转变为自封的公民,愿意自发地为共同利益服务。

"I Told Him That the French Army Being Auxiliary in This Continent, It Was Up to the American General to Give His Orders": The Paradoxes of French Military Operations in America, 1778–1783 "我告诉他,法国军队在这片大陆上是辅助部队,美国将军才能下达命令":1778-1783 年法国在美洲军事行动的悖论

Abstract: On 19 October 1781, at the surrender of Yorktown, the Comte de Rochambeau replied to the British general Charles O'Hara, who wanted to give his sword to Rochambeau rather than George Washington, that the French army was only auxiliary on this continent. This reply corresponded exactly to the mission defined at Versailles the previous year. But it is surprising: how can a great military power take orders from a smaller one? The answer lies in the evolution of the practical arrangements for Franco-American military cooperation between 1778 and 1781. France sent large naval and land forces across the Atlantic. But for success to be possible, the French and Americans had to be able to act together, and French sailors and soldiers had to be able to master combined operations.
摘要:1781 年 10 月 19 日,在约克镇投降时,罗尚博伯爵回答英国将军查尔斯-奥哈拉(Charles O'Hara)说,法国军队在这片大陆上只是辅助。这个回答与前一年在凡尔赛宫确定的任务完全一致。但令人惊讶的是:一个军事大国怎么能听命于一个小国呢?答案就在于 1778 至 1781 年间法美军事合作的实际安排的演变。法国派遣了大批海军和陆军横渡大西洋。但是,要想取得成功,法国人和美国人必须能够共同行动,法国水手和士兵必须能够掌握联合行动。

Abstract: The American Revolution happened as Raynal and Diderot were working on the third edition of their monumental Philosophical and Political History of the Settlements and Trade of the Europeans in the East and West Indies . Beyond this bestseller of the 1770s and 1780s, many lesser-known authors started to consider the impact of the American Revolution on the issue of colonies and empires. Among them were journalists and essayists who lived in the French colony of Saint-Domingue. The American Revolution appeared to them, as well as to other French cosmopolitan writers of the same generation and profile, as the starting point of a liberation of the whole American continent from European imperial rule and potentially from the slave trade and slavery. The gradual abolition of slavery in Northern American States was seen as a logical consequence of the American Revolution. However, the writers who thought about the consequences of the American Revolution in terms of decolonization were not the same as those who engaged in a thorough reflection on slavery, a debate in which more well-known figures, like Condorcet and Brissot, played a key role.
摘要:美国革命发生时,雷纳尔和狄德罗正在编写他们的巨著《欧洲人在东印度群岛和西印度群岛定居和贸易的哲学和政治史》第三版。除了这本 17 世纪七八十年代的畅销书之外,许多不太知名的作家也开始思考美国革命对殖民地和帝国问题的影响。其中包括生活在法国殖民地圣多明各的记者和散文家。美国大革命在他们以及其他同代人和同时期的法国世界主义作家看来,是整个美洲大陆从欧洲帝国统治下解放出来的起点,并有可能从奴隶贸易和奴隶制中解放出来。美国北部各州逐步废除奴隶制被视为美国革命的必然结果。然而,从非殖民化的角度思考美国革命后果的作家与那些对奴隶制进行彻底反思的作家并不相同,在这场辩论中,孔多塞和布里索等更知名的人物发挥了关键作用。

Finding the American Revolution in France: François-Jean de Chastellux's Private Papers and Beyond 在法国寻找美国革命:弗朗索瓦-让-德-夏斯泰卢的私人文件及其他

Abstract: With the exception of the renowned Marquis de Lafayette and, to a lesser extent, General Rochambeau and Admiral de Grasse, French soldiers and officers have historically received little attention in the literary of the American War for Independence. This is due to a number of factors, including restricted or closed access to private archival collections in France. This essay will demonstrate that it is possible, under certain conditions, to study personal, unpublished source material of "forgotten" French officers who participated in the American Revolutionary War, thereby providing new opportunities for research into early American history. To demonstrate the historical significance of such materials, this paper will concentrate on the (mainly) unpublished papers of François-Jean de Chastellux (1734-1788), an influential major general who served directly under Rochambeau. The Chastellux family has preserved his private papers for more than 240 years in their Château de Chastellux. This article details the contents of this private archive as well as the history of its creation and preservation. Additionally, the existence of Chastellux's archive raises questions about the possible existence of similar unpublished French archival collections, which may also offer new perspectives on the American Revolutionary War. Furthermore, in the contemporary digital era, families that choose to preserve their records in private archives may now make them digitally accessible to the academic community. This introduces new circumstances and opportunities for the access and translation of previously inaccessible information.
摘要:除了大名鼎鼎的拉法耶特侯爵以及罗尚博将军和德格拉斯海军上将之外,法国士兵和军官在美国独立战争的文学作品中历来很少受到关注。这是由多种因素造成的,包括对法国私人档案收藏的限制或封闭。本文将证明,在某些条件下,研究 "被遗忘的 "参加过美国革命战争的法国军官的未公开的个人原始资料是可能的,从而为研究美国早期历史提供了新的机会。为了证明此类资料的历史意义,本文将重点介绍弗朗索瓦-让-德-夏斯泰卢(François-Jean de Chastellux,1734-1788 年)(主要是)未发表的论文,他是一位有影响力的少将,曾直接在罗尚博手下服役。Chastellux 家族将他的私人文件保存在 Chastellux 城堡中长达 240 多年。本文详细介绍了这一私人档案的内容及其创建和保存的历史。此外,Chastellux 档案的存在还提出了一些问题,即可能存在类似的未出版的法国档案收藏,它们也可能为美国革命战争提供新的视角。此外,在当代数字时代,选择将其档案保存在私人档案馆的家族现在可以通过数字方式向学术界开放这些档案。这为获取和翻译以前无法获取的信息提供了新的环境和机会。

Montesquieu and The Federalist : A Contested Legacy at the American Founding 孟德斯鸠与《联邦党人》 :美国建国时期有争议的遗产
Pub Date : 2024-01-01 DOI: 10.1353/eam.2024.a920460

Abstract: During the contentious political debate of 1787, Montesquieu enjoyed exceptional prestige in the United States. In their struggle against the Constitution adopted in Philadelphia, Anti-Federalists appealed to The Spirit of the Laws as their leading authority. In response, those defending the proposed Constitution had to go back to Montesquieu's founding theories to counter the arguments of their opponents. Building upon previous scholarship, this article will explore three aspects of The Federalist 's political doctrine where Madison and Hamilton analyzed and subverted Montesquieu's ideas: first, the dogma that republics cannot survive when surrounded by empires if they do not unite their forces in a confederation; second, that in a federative state as in any kind of state, power should limit power; third, that in this constitutional arrangement, an independent judiciary should play a special role. Thus, the core of American federal ideology was borrowed from Montesquieu: that multiple layers of government could legitimately exist within a single polity, and that such an arrangement is not a defect to be lamented but a virtue to be celebrated if the balance of powers is properly respected. Yet it is only by confronting the Anti-Federalists' intellectual allegiance to axioms of The Spirit of the Laws that Madison and Hamilton were able to provide the first political treatise – however unfinished it might be – on the viability of modern democracies.
摘要:在 1787 年充满争议的政治辩论中,孟德斯鸠在美国享有非凡的声望。在反对费城通过的宪法的斗争中,反联邦党人以《论法的精神》为主要权威。作为回应,那些为拟议宪法辩护的人不得不回到孟德斯鸠的建国理论来反驳对手的论点。在前人研究的基础上,本文将探讨《联邦党人》政治理论中麦迪逊和汉密尔顿对孟德斯鸠思想进行分析和颠覆的三个方面:第一,在帝国的包围下,共和国如果不在邦联中联合力量,就无法生存的教条;第二,在联邦制国家中,如同在任何一种国家中一样,权力应该限制权力;第三,在这种宪法安排中,独立的司法机构应该发挥特殊作用。因此,美国联邦意识形态的核心是从孟德斯鸠那里借来的:在一个单一的政体中可以合法地存在多层次的政府,如果权力平衡得到适当的尊重,这样的安排不是一种值得惋惜的缺陷,而是一种值得称道的美德。然而,麦迪逊和汉密尔顿只有直面反联邦党人对《论法的精神》公理的思想忠诚,才能提供第一部关于现代民主政体可行性的政治论文--无论它多么未完成。

Gouverneur Morris, France, and Republicanism in the Atlantic Space 古弗努尔-莫里斯、法国和大西洋空间的共和主义

Abstract: Exemplifying par excellence the American and exotic figure Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson had epitomized before him, Gouverneur Morris worked in France as the herald of enlightened republican principles. In 1789, when he arrived in Paris, Morris was thrilled to see that the French had begun their own revolution in the name of liberty. Moreover, as he lived among the nobility, the New Yorker criticized what represented to him the decaying monarchy's corrupt values and frivolity, which he contrasted with the morals and the aesthetics of simplicity of the United States. He thus appeared as the standard-bearer of an idyllic and idealized American identity and tried to translate these virtuous republican principles to the French. However, Morris is now remembered as an enemy of the French Revolution, a traitor to the republican cause, and an ally of the French monarchy. Unraveling why this former Patriot became the foe of the Revolution that claimed to be the heir of the American War for Independence could help us to see the variety of republican sentiments making the revolutionary Atlantic world.
摘要:作为本杰明-富兰克林(Benjamin Franklin)和托马斯-杰斐逊(Thomas Jefferson)在他之前所代表的美国和异国人物的杰出代表,古弗努尔-莫里斯(Gouverneur Morris)在法国是开明共和原则的传播者。1789 年,当莫里斯抵达巴黎时,他激动地看到法国人已经以自由的名义开始了自己的革命。此外,由于生活在贵族之中,这位纽约客批评了他所代表的腐朽君主制的腐朽价值观和轻浮行为,并将其与美国的道德和简约美学进行了对比。因此,他以田园诗般理想化的美国身份的旗手形象出现,并试图将这些美德的共和原则翻译给法国人。然而,莫里斯在人们的记忆中却是法国大革命的敌人、共和事业的叛徒和法国君主制的盟友。了解这位曾经的爱国者为何会成为自称是美国独立战争继承者的革命的敌人,有助于我们了解大西洋革命世界中的各种共和情绪。

Documenting a Proposed 1781 French-American Attack on New York: The Chastellux Archive and the Epic Finale That Never Was 记录 1781 年法裔美国人进攻纽约的提议:查斯特鲁档案和从未实现的史诗结局

Abstract: In the summer of 1781, a Franco-American army under the command of George Washington contemplated an elaborate attack on New York City that, it hoped, would bring the American War for Independence to a close. The details of that plan were lost to history, until a few years ago. Discovered in the papers of Francois-Jean de Chastellux in the private Chastellux family archives in Burgundy, France, the battleplan is now in the George Washington Presidential Library in Mount Vernon, Virginia. Historians of the American War of Independence have traditionally depicted the summer of 1781 as a period of rest for the Continental and French armies. The Chastellux battleplan showcases the extent to which Washington considered an attack on New York and highlights a complex preparatory operation conducted in its suburbs that gave both armies the chance to work together long before they went into action in Yorktown.
摘要:1781 年夏,一支由乔治-华盛顿指挥的美法联军考虑对纽约市发动一次精心策划的进攻,希望以此结束美国独立战争。这一计划的细节已被历史遗忘,直到几年前才被发现。弗朗索瓦-让-德-查斯泰勒(Francois-Jean de Chastellux)的文件在法国勃艮第的查斯泰勒家族私人档案中被发现,这份作战计划现存于弗吉尼亚州弗农山的乔治-华盛顿总统图书馆。美国独立战争的历史学家历来将 1781 年夏季描述为大陆军和法军的休整期。Chastellux 作战计划展示了华盛顿考虑进攻纽约的程度,并突出了在纽约郊区进行的复杂的准备行动,使两支军队有机会在约克镇作战之前进行合作。

Abstract: The French who took part in the American War for Independence have been the subject of many historical studies. However, the correspondence of Benjamin Franklin offers new elements about these numerous volunteers coming from multiple geographical and social backgrounds. In their letters to the American commissioner, military men, nobles, ecclesiastics, surgeons, lawyers, engineers, peasants, and even convicts—most of whom never left the France—explained their motives for crossing the Atlantic Ocean to fight the British army on the side of the Patriots. From that epistolary source emerges also the perception those subjects of Louis XVI had of the Americans and the United States. All this information reveals a French society imbued with many contradictions, such as the public attraction for enemies fought during the Seven Years' War and the glorification of ancestral nobiliary values through a war for the benefit of a young republic.
摘要:参加美国独立战争的法国人一直是许多历史研究的主题。然而,本杰明-富兰克林的书信提供了有关这些来自不同地域和社会背景的众多志愿者的新内容。在他们写给美国专员的信中,军人、贵族、教会人士、外科医生、律师、工程师、农民甚至囚犯--其中大多数人从未离开过法国--解释了他们跨越大西洋,站在爱国者一边与英军作战的动机。从这些书信资料中还可以看出路易十六的臣民对美国人和美国的看法。所有这些信息都揭示了一个充满矛盾的法国社会,比如公众对七年战争期间的敌人的好感,以及通过一场为年轻共和国造福的战争对祖先贵族价值观的颂扬。
