Excerpt from The Planters of Colonial VirginiaFor this intolerable situation there could be but one remedy - England must secure colonial possessions to supply her with the products for which her forests were no longer sufficient. Her bold navigators had already crossed the Atlantic, return ing with alluring stories of the limitless resources of the New World, of mighty forests spreading in unbroken array for hundreds of miles along the coast and back into the interior as far as the eye could see.7 Why, it was asked, should Eng lishmen be forced to make the hazardous journey to the Baltic in order to procure from other nations what they might easily have for themselves by taking possession of some of the limit less unoccupied areas Of America? It was folly to remain in economic bondage while the road to independence stretched so invitingly before them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
