摘要
文摘:T。布林(H. Breen)的《革命市场》(The Marketplace of Revolution)重塑了独立战争学术,他认为,抗议英国对物质商品征税,既激励了来自不同背景的殖民者,也团结了他们。然而,发表在罗德岛《新港信使报》上的文章表明,支持在英属北美殖民地生产家用纺织品的论点并不仅仅局限于抗议的殖民者。在1765年印花税法案危机爆发前的几个月里,独立战争期间自称为保皇派的殖民者发表了20篇这样的文章;在《印花税法案》危机之后的几年里,自称爱国者的殖民者发表了23篇文章,主张在罗德岛生产家用纺织品。1721年的《第二印花布法案》规定,不列颠群岛的居民只能购买英国制造的纺织品,但鼓励美国殖民者购买从印度进口的纺织品。美国独立战争导致的分裂迟早会到来,但就目前而言,罗德岛殖民地居民渴望通过他们作为英国纺织业生产者的身份,主张他们享有英国臣民身份的特权和保护。
"Let us unanimously lay aside foreign Superfluities": Textile Production and British Colonial Identity in the 1760s
abstract:T. H. Breen's The Marketplace of Revolution reshaped Revolutionary War scholarship by arguing that protesting British taxes on material goods both galvanized and united colonists from multiple backgrounds. Essays published in Rhode Island's Newport Mercury demonstrate, however, that arguments in favor of home textile production in the British North American colonies were not confined solely to protesting colonists. The months leading up to the Stamp Act crisis in 1765 saw twenty such articles by colonists who would identify as Loyalists during the Revolutionary War; the years following the Stamp Act crisis saw twenty-three articles by colonists who would identify as Patriots arguing in favor of home textile production in Rhode Island. The Second Calico Act in 1721 had stated that residents of the British Isles could only purchase British-made textiles, but that American colonists were to be encouraged to purchase imported fabrics from India. The break caused by the American Revolution would come in time, but for the moment, Rhode Island colonists were eager to claim their right to the privileges and protections of British subjecthood through their identities as textile-producing Britons.
