Tnaïnchi, Leïla. "La correspondance de Benjamin Franklin, psyché de la France d'Ancien Régime (1776-1790)." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Bourgogne Franche-Comté, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023UBFCC039.
Повний текст джерелаThe French stay of Benjamin Franklin between 1776 and 1785 as an envoy of the United States leaves a strong image, that of the remarkable popularity of the diplomat, who goes beyond the circle of ministerial offices to invest the public space. This study intends to highlight Franklin's relationships with what some contemporaries, such as Necker, began to call "public opinion", with the aim of painting a portrait of the French through the mirror of the public image with multiple facets of a famous foreigner, without determinism and in a period that I will simply name, to exclude as much as possible any teleology, "the end of the 18th century". This research is based on the important collection of “Papers of Benjamin Franklin” and thus on the entirety of the French correspondence of the American, comprising nearly two thousand letter writers and more than five thousand five hundred letters. Other sources complete this corpus: Franklin's writings translated into French and circulating in the kingdom, but also many other printed materials, the French-speaking European press of the moment, the archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of La Courneuve, and finally the abundant iconography relating to the character. This vast corpus offers us a good understanding of the French people of this period through the study of numerous themes, such as sciences, techniques, politics, salons, Freemasonry, the court, commerce or even the army. This research also reveals the vision of America and the United States held by the French people and thus offers an analysis of the real motivations of the subjects of Louis XVI who are ready to trade with the Americans and grant them credits, of applicants for emigration to the New World and of military volunteers to join the theater of war

Повний текст джерелаIn the two decades that led to the Civil War, the proslavery southern ideologues regarded Cuba as the model of a prosperous society where slavery was a widespread and thriving institution. This model society, so close to the southern states, both on a geographical and on an economic level, thus became the focus of their interest. But, this interest in the island of Cuba was not limited to the South, nor to the twenty years preceding the Civil War. It is certain indeed that the US interest in the island dates back to the very first days of the Union, but that historians have usually been more interested in the period of Manifest Destiny because that is when the Union was the most active in its attempts to take control of the island and integrate it to its territory. The aim of the present thesis is thus first to trace back the origins and the reasons of US interest in what was often called the Perl of Antilles. Then, it is to replace this expansionnism in a larger international context in order to show that this interest was motivated not only by the national expansionist ideology but also by a wider range of international actors, events and elements, among which slavery, slave trade and their abolition by Great Britain are central. The purpose is then to emphasize elements that were often ignored by US historiography and give a more prominent place to the role played by the Cubans in this expansionist movement. By using American, Cuban and British sources, travel accounts as well as diplomatic sources, it will nonetheless appear that this annexationist desire was a complex phenomenon, due to Americans1 ambiguous feelings, to be sure their increasing racism, towards their Hispanic neighbours. This dissertation then uses the concept of Atlantic history, and can be regarded as forming part of the transatlantic study of slavery, a paradigm that, since the early 1990s, has renewed research on slavery in the Americas. And through the use of various, multinational sources it seeks to give a more balanced and hopefully a more complete history of the period

Повний текст джерелаThe study of the French diplomatic and consular presence in the United States is a mirror of the ambitions and the limits of the French diplomacy in North America during the 19th century. This research draws up an overall picture of the French diplomatic network through its actors. As mainstays of foreign politics, diplomats and consuls supported and influenced the political decisions made in Paris. Following the end of the Atlantic revolutions, the diplomatic network organized itself in a commercial logic way. During the whole century, this axis of the French diplomacy is deeply intertwined with a geopolitical logic way. The latter oscillated between two ways: bringing France and the United States together in order to limit the British commercial and maritime hegemony in the Atlantic area ; and coming to an agreement with London to thwart the American territorial expansion towards the West. As actors and witnesses of the political recombining which affects North America, diplomats are the relays of a policy aiming at restoring a French influence in this part of the New World, with no regard for the Monroe doctrine. The failures of the French diplomacy and the advent of the United States as the imperial power made the Quai d’Orsay readjust its policy. Implicitly recognizing the principles of the Monroe doctrine, the diplomatic actors are to support the creation of a French-American official memory reviving the fight shared for the cause of freedom during the War of Independence. This will to create memory took part in the building of the myth of La Fayette as a hero of the two worlds. This myth was in fact being used as window dressing on reality of the bilateral relations of the 19th century marked by the assertion of two political messianisms on both sides of the Atlantic

Повний текст джерелаMy dissertation is intended to serve as a biographical, social and cultural history of about 6,000 runaway slaves advertised in the newspapers 0f three slave societes 0f the early modern atlantic world : louisiana, south carolina, and jamaica. My central argument is to study runaway ads as texts and objects 0f history, and not simply as documents or pre-texts easily quantified and understood. I have attempted to consider the ads as a form 0f writing and reading, or to be more precise, as the major public form of reading and writing about fugitive slaves in the early modern atlantic world. Doing so means departing from the usual spatial and temporal boundaries of monographic history. The purpose is not study one particular region, for example louisiana, through the spectrum of jamaica and south carolina, but to leave the possibility open to be surprised by the confrontation of texts apparently identical or at least constructed along the same patterns. I here propose to place runaway ads at the centre of history and to read them for what they are : micro-narratives of micro-histories to be read and linked again and again

Повний текст джерелаModern freemasonry, which appeared in great britain and america in the early xviiith century, claimed to be both friendly and tolerant. In america, it developped mainly during the revolution, in which some of its members were significantly involved. Though originally meant to provide its members with an organization totally free from political and religious censorship, english freemasonry, what with the influence of the grand lodge of "antients" and the joining of the royal princes, soon forsook its deistic principles and no longer refused to interfere in public affairs in order to claim its allegiance to monarchy and emphatically to condemn the french revolution. Yet, british freemasons had considered american revolutionists with a more friendly eye. Scottish freemasonry turned out to help the edinburgh leading classes incorporate into the united kingdom. Whatever the historical or geographical background, far from isolating individuals, lodges enabled them to rise on the social ladder and induced them to take an active part in the life of the city

Повний текст джерелаFrom the project ofr a perpetual peace of the abbé des Saint-Pierre in 1713 to Kant's in 1795, XVIIIth century's philosophers debate of peace making and of new relations between the peoples. The concept of the law of nations inherited from the philosophical debates of the xvith and xviith centuries plays a central role in this reflexion. People of the enlightment argue about the abilitiy of humanity to achieve peace, and about the means of achieving a civil relationship between nations. The manners of the ancien regime are submitted to the critique of reason : conquest, the laws of war and diplomacy are rejected. How to conciliate universal brotherhood with the love of one's country ? How to conceive an economic development wich respects the reciprocity of the rights of peoples ? The answers to these questions give the outlines of political trends crystallise in french and american revelutions between 1776 et 1795. Two approaches materialize progressively. The first approach intends to build a national power able to defend its own interests in a political space made of independant nations and wich are tried by a positive law of nations. In this system the nation-state sovereignity replaces the private order of the ancien regime. The other approach, wich we call a "cosmopolitics of the law of nations", aims to build a civil and federate society of nations wich would be a warrant for the rights of the peoples

Повний текст джерелаThe historiography of colonial North America has been deeply challenged mainly by north american scholars since the 1970’s. Can such a project be carried out without renewing as well the ethnological paradigms that sustain most of these ethnohistorians’ interpretation models ? The case of the social organization of the Muscogee (Creek) in the 18th century (present Alabama) has led us to challenge the current ethnological statu quo for the Southeast along two main lines : taking a structural analysis of Muscogee mythology, the attempt was made to set more firmly the Southeast – its mythology as well as ceremonial practices and social organization – within the broader space of continental cultural coherence drafted by the Mythologiques of Lévi-Strauss ; at the level of sociological models, the path followed has been an attempt to cope with dualism and social stratification based on politico-ritual hierarchies, in a critical stance to the “chiefdom” model, usually brought forth to think the transition between the mississippian period policies and the 18th century “tribal” organizations.Using French, English and Spanish sources, this work brings forward the themes of progression and procession as well as that we have called the “step by step movement”. The analytical interest of this paradigm – muscogean version of chromatism – is directed toward the understanding of the hierarchical ranking in the social organization, for which the concept of aristocratic figuration is suggested, as well as the analysis of the profound coherence of ceremonial practices with muscogean cosmology, eschatology and the periodicity shown by their social morphology
Carpenter, Roy. "Jonathan Edwards : la crise de l'autorité dans l'Amérique des Lumières." Versailles-St Quentin en Yvelines, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011VERS010S.
Повний текст джерелаAmong the figures involved in the debates that took place during Great Awakening, none was more influential than the pastor of Northampton, Massachusetts, Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758). Building upon the latest scientific and philosophical thought, Edwards set about bringing the reformed theology he inherited from his Puritan forebears into line with the Enlightenment. Specifically, the notion of individual experience took on great importance as he sought to explain the process of conversion, arguing for a more open and inclusive interpretation of what often appeared to be the disorderly, violent or even insane behavior of those undergoing conversion experiences during the Great Awakening. Edwards’ analyses appeared to justify their most anti-authoritarian practices in the name of the inviolable right to believe in what one felt in one’s heart, even if such beliefs were in contradiction with established religious doctrine or traditional social practice

Повний текст джерелаThe history of the colony of New York cannot be distinguished from that of slavery. If Ira Berlin has described this colony as a “society with slaves”, because of its location in the Northern part of North American continent, we prefer the terms “slave society” which are usually applied to Southern or West Indian colonies. Indeed, slavery was introduced from the very beginning when the first Dutch settlers arrived in 1624 and it grew progressively as the colony developed, extending itself in the rural areas around the island of Manhattan and establishing itself at each level of this young colonial society. If the status of the slave was not yet set during the Dutch period, it was increasingly codified after the 1664 English conquest until it was definitely sealed after the 1712 revolt. This legislative frame which inexorably linked servile status to skin color shaped the mentalities and reinforced the racial prejudices the settlers had inherited since the Renaissance. Yet, the harshness of the laws did not really conform to the reality of the New York environment and working conditions which allowed the slaves to be mobile and somewhat autonomous and which had tolerated the presence of a free black community since the Dutch period, comforting the Africans in their will to assert themselves culturally and resist their condition. If New Netherland was at its beginning an embryonic slave society, it became a real slave and bi-racial society in the 18th century

Повний текст джерелаFrance and the United States fascinate the observer of international relations by the complexity and contradictions of their relations, as is paradoxical and sometimes explosive, the love-hate mixing (or perhaps more accurately, attraction-repulsion or friendship-voltage) they contain. This does not prevent the two countries to get together when it cornes to defending freedom. Unlike Spain or Britain, France remains the only major European country to have never been at war against the United States. Yet it is his most unruly ally. France and the US are the worst friends. Also this reflection does the ambition to analyze their relations with Iran and Iraq from 1972 to 1982, as well as prospects of cooperation or competition that resulted. However, one cannot understand these relations only if we admit beforehand that they refer to a different assessment of international situations and interests of both countries

Повний текст джерелаIt is during the age of Revolutions that the career of Thomas Paine (1737-1809) as a political writer unfurled. His first significant writing, Common Sense, published in January 1776, put forward a programme which was revolutionary in two ways : he established representative democracy as the only legitimate political regime, and thus, he altered the meaning of the concepts of revolution, constitution and republic, relying on an interpretation of the social contract theory which excluded all monarchical or aristocratic, in a word, hereditary elements from the political sphere. Studying his thought in relation to the theories of his time enables one to get the full measure of its originality. A pioneer, therefore, at the same time liberal and republican, he defended the equality of political rights, especially universal suffrage. His conception of revolution was that of a moderate who did not yield to anarchism or to communism. However, he was more successful in the theorization of revolution than in the historiography of the Revolutions, as Rights of Man notably proves. A foe of royalty, he nonetheless remained faithful to his humanism which led him to ask for the banishment of Louis XVI and his family in America. He was part of the circle of the Girondin thinkers and he was a victim of the Terror, though he escaped the guillotine. In 1802, he went back to the United States, disappointed by his European revolutionary experience, with France groaning under new chains and Great Britain having refused to follow the example of the men of 1789, but his hostility to Edmund Burke's views never ceased, so convinced he remained that the enjoyment of liberty for all was a perpetual political horizon

Повний текст джерелаThe term of transparency is highly polysemic, which is why it is so easily and widely used, but is also the reason why it is difficult for this idea to retain a clear conceptual status. The present work argues for a strong concept of transparency, looking for its main meanings and uses in the field of American politics, in the different theoretical systems that claimed it - or part of it - when the concept proved necessary for the idea of America (particularly liberalism, republicanism, Puritanism, common sense philosophy). The concept of transparency helps explaining why, from their birth, the United States thought of themselves as America, a mythical nation of nature
Charbonneau, François. "« Une part égale de liberté : le patriotisme anglais et la Révolution américaine »." Paris, EHESS, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007EHES0111.
Повний текст джерелаThis thesis explores a central paradox in both the political thought and political action of the American revolutionaries between 1765 and 1776. The Americans understood the British parliament's attempt to tax them as a constitutional issue, i. E. , for them, a question of political liberty. The imperial crisis offered the Americans an opportunity to define what they understood by liberty and the political conditions necessary to its existence. For them, as for contemporary English political thought, liberty was defined as absence of dependence. It would thus be inadmissible for Americans to be placed in a situation of dependence upon the uncontrolled will of the British parliamentarians. Paradoxically, Americans desired nothing more during the entire crisis than to maintain their dependence upon Great-Britain and its institutions. The will to maintain a dependent status within the British Empire was so strong that Americans refused to declare their independence for more than a year after the beginning of open warfare with the mother country. The following thesis suggest that the imperial crisis should be understood as a failure on the part of the American to reconcile their will to be both free and at the same time dependent upon Great-Britain. It offers a different interpretation of the reasons why Americans were so reluctant to secede, finding that English patriotism is the key to comprehending this paradox. Within the context of their political thought, patriotism was understood to be the primary political virtue that allowed freedom to thrive within the body politic. In this contest for liberty, in which Americans have tried to be better Englishmen than the English, a conviction will emerge that only the equal liberty of all men is compatible with political freedom. This idea will be ever so present in the early state Constitutions of 1775-1780

Повний текст джерелаBy studying the travel writings of North American merchants going to Great Britain between 1776 and 1815, we analyse the cultural transfers across the Atlantic and observe the growing emancipation of the young Republic from its former mother country. It appears that these merchants fully contributed to the creation of an American national identity. Their stay in Great-Britain undeniably encouraged this process, as it enabled visitors to measure themselves against a British « Other », to realise what made them truly American, to boast about their superiority, but also, as merchants, to defend specific values and a certain vision of the American society

Thanks to this victory, Yorktown was occupied and the United States win independency. In 1782 the British navy will get their revenge and Admiral Rodney will defeat de Grasse who was getting prepared to invade Jamaica. Back in Versailles, De Grasse to justify himself accused his squadron commanders Vaudreuil and Bougainville to have disobeyed his orders. A war council was then installed by Louis XVI. Three hundred and four sailors will then summoned to Lorient as witnesses, and each of them will try and justify his conduct. After three months of trial, Bougainville was the only one condemned, and all the other officers were acquitted. De Grasse was the real loser of the trial. He was forbidden to command a ship again and during a century years he was disgraced in the French navy. But the Americans and Washington will always pay tribute to him

In this thesis we also aim at describing and analyzing the influence of the international and interstate disputes on the development of the "national state" and, more precisely, over the policies of population. Throughout this study, we are discussing a new concept : the "bilateral state". It may refer both to the process of discussions, wich concern a lot of actors on the local and national stages of the two states, and to the transnational, juridical and mental space, wich rise out of these negotiations

Повний текст джерелаThis dissertation addresses the question of the links between the commercial revolution and the political revolution at the end of the eighteenth century. In particular, it analyses the connected issue of the colonial exclusif and of liberty of trade; as a problem of political economy, as a sum of legal norms and as commercial practices. This enables to shed light on the variety of political associations that emerged in the Age of Revolutions. The case study is the political and economic relationships between the wealthiest colony in the world, Saint-Domingue, the metropole and the United States, From the 1778 French-American alliance to the birth of Haiti i 1804. This dissertation aims at questioning the so-called rise of the nation-state. It disputes the idea that the French Revolution exclusively created a unitary and centralized nation-state, founded on national sovereignty and defined as the political expression of the community of citizens. It also places the United States in its postcolonial history and reminds that independence was not the only possible end to the revolution in Saint-Domingue. This illuminates the multiplicity of imperial experimentations that took place in the Atlantic World at different scales, both within and beyond national borders and in the framework of a globalized economy. Thus, it becomes possible to follow the sinuous paths and crossings of intertwined revolutions

Повний текст джерелаOur representative democracies rely on principles such as citizens’ consent and separation of powers, whose original horizon was modern republics. But institutional implementation and historical trials have sometimes led to their denaturation and toning down. For instance, the role such principles could play within the organization of war powers was strongly discussed among the founding fathers of representative governments in England, France and United-States, but also between their first thinkers – especially Locke, Montesquieu and Rousseau. To end the discussion, they mostly proposed to vest such powers in the very same hands. Diplomatic and military offices allegedly fall within the scope of governmental functions usually fulfilled by the “small number” that Weber and Machiavelli praised in different times? This inquiry reveals the limits of such proposals and explains how some American and French revolutionaries strove to go beyond them. Therefore, they built a genuine political system with several powers concurring in times of war. With such system, they wanted to preserve moderation in government by restricting concentrations of power in war times, and avoid any risk of confusion between civilian and military authorities. They seek to foster an external unity in sovereign states where several branches of government are supposed to remain distinct. Finally, they looked for an optimized number of citizens able to share the collective burden of the decisions that could either jeopardize or secure international peace
Ugolini, Celine. "The Resilience of New Orleans : Assessing a History of Disasters 1718-1803." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014BOR30077.
Повний текст джерелаNew Orleans, Louisiana, formerly La Nouvelle Orléans, was founded in 1718 on what is known today to be unstable land. Shortly after its initial construction, a flood in 1719 devastated the city. Several other strong storms quickly followed and forced reconstruction upon the nascent Crescent City. The French colonists who built La Nouvelle Orléans had no experience with either Louisiana’s climate or repetitive tropical storms and flooding. Damage from disasters occurred so frequently that the difficult work of reconstruction characterized the city’s first few decades. Assistant City Engineer Adrien de Pauger was the very first person to plan for a jetty system for the city. La Nouvelle Orléans could have benefited from solving its sandbars issues had this venture been conducted the way Pauger had envisaged. Rebuilding for a city that the French had just recently built presented a challenge from the start. The lack of population of the area generated the sending of criminals and other unwanted individuals from the mother country. These ended up taking an active part in the construction and reconstruction process. This research examines the early challenges confronting New Orleanians and their necessary adaptation to an inhospitable environment. Despite concerns that residents would leave their city to seek safer living conditions on higher land or move back to the home country as some did, early New Orleanians displayed a resilience similar to that found in the aftermath of Katrina. Other local settlements, such as La Balise, had a different fate and disappeared as a result of recurring hurricanes whereas the then capital of Louisiana always rebuilt after each disaster. The study will discuss the city’s early years of chaos and destruction, and how La Nouvelle Orléans struggled to overcome hurricanes, fires, and disease, before evolving from a fragile settlement to a stronger city

Повний текст джерелаBased on the family history of the Bradfords, one of America’s most celebrated printing dynasties, this thesis studies the interplay between print, printers, and various discourses on freedom during of the long 18th century and through the colonial, revolutionary, and early republican periods. It traces the transition between an era of the “speech of freedom,” born out of the colonial debates on the freedom of speech and press, and an era of the “freedom of speech,” born in the course of the Revolution and upheld during the early republic. This transition resulted from the transformation of the contemporaries’ discourse on liberty, but also had to do with the transformation of the printing trade and print culture. As a result of the political, social, economic, and cultural circumstances of the colonial, revolutionary, and early republican periods, American print and printers were led to disseminate and to contribute to the discourse on liberty. They thus established a strong association between print and freedom in the 18th-century print culture, an association which was destined to be transmitted to the following centuries.
