In The First Fleets, Benjamin C. Schaffer reveals how, contrary to widespread beliefs, the American colonies had a long tradition of independent naval defense decades before the Revolution. He demonstrates that Anglo-American governments established and maintained significant provincial naval forces and that the history of provincial navies illuminates broader aspects of colonial history and the colonies' ultimate break with the British Crown. Based on meticulous research, Schaffer recounts the sea-borne threats that American colonies faced from the French, Spanish, pirates, and others. He reviews colonial governance and the relationships between colonial governments and Great Britain. Highlighting Britain's scant naval power in North America, Schaffer demonstrates how the vulnerable coastal colonies undertook their own self-defense. Schaffer's study offers many fascinating episodes from colonial history. Establishing a navy was controversial in pacifist-minded, Quaker-dominated Pennsylvania. South Carolina deployed its scout-boat navy to pursue enslaved Africans who fled colonial capture. The first paper money issued in North America was an initiative to pay for a naval expedition against French Quebec. These and other episodes show the intimate connection between these little-known provincial navies and the major sociopolitical developments of their day.Ver libro
You accomplish life goals, but your Aunt did not due to her failing to put in the work and now out of envy she blames you as to why she cannot accomplish any of her life goals. Your friend of 15+ years publicly disgraced himself, but turned around, and publicly erroneously blamed and defamed you for it. Many people are faced with being blamed for other people's shortcomings. Most of the problems that people face are caused by no other person but themselves. A lot of times it is easy to blame someone else for the cause of the problem rather than take responsibility for one's own actions. For some people it is easy to accept the blame if the blamer provides a compelling reason why their accusation is true and if the person being blamed is not confident enough to put up a strong defense against the accusation. I Am Not The Cause Of Your Problems serves to empower and encourage you when faced with situations of being falsely blamed for other people's problems by providing an understanding that you are not the cause for every problem that other people face and also how to remove yourself from such a situation. I Am Not The Cause Of Your Problems will help you to identify behaviors that try to deceive you into thinking you are the cause of other people's problems, to help you begin to stand up for yourself in such a situation, distance yourself from such a situation, recover from erroneously being blamed for other people's problems and to begin a life free from carrying other peoples weight around. You can gain the confidence to stand-up and firmly state: I am not the cause of your problems to anyone who tries to cast blame on you for their own problems.Ver libro

An autistic feminist author looks at women's history, in search of her 'weird sisters.' It seemed to me that many of the moments when my autism had caused problems, or at least marked me out as different, were those moments when I had come up against some unspoken law about how a girl or a woman should be, and failed to meet it. An autism diagnosis in midlife enabled Joanne Limburg to finally make sense of why her emotional expression, social discomfort and presentation had always marked her as an outsider. Eager to discover other women who had been misunderstood in their time, she writes a series of wide-ranging letters to four 'weird sisters' from history, addressing topics including autistic parenting, social isolation, feminism, the movement for disability rights and the appalling punishments that have been meted out over centuries to those deemed to fall short of the norm. This heartfelt, deeply compassionate and wholly original work humanizes women who have so often been dismissed for their differences, and will be celebrated by 'weird sisters' everywhere.Ver libro
