The decline of
commerce, however, had already begun, manufacturing supplanting it
in importance; and this decline was rapid by 1850. From 1840 to
1860 Massachusetts-built ships competed successfully in the
carrying trade of the world. Before 1840 a ship of 500 tons was a
large ship, but after the discovery of gold in
California the size of
vessels increased rapidly and their lines were more and more
adapted to speed. The limit of size was reached in an immense
clipper of 4555 tons, and the greatest speed was attained in a
passage from
San
Francisco to Boston in seventy-five days, and from San
Francisco to
Cork in ninety-three
days. The development of
steam
navigation for the carrying of large cargoes has driven this fleet
from the sea. Only a small part of the exports and imports of
Massachusetts is now carried in American bottoms.'

taken their places, they have sought other occupations, largely
in the manufacture of small wares in the cities, and particularly
in departments of trade where skilled labour is essential.
Household service is seldom now done, as it formerly was, by women
of native stock. The federal census of 1900 showed that of every
ioo persons employed for gain only 37.5% were of native descent
(that is, had a nativeborn father). Natives heavily predominated in
agriculture and the professions, slightly in trade, and held barely
more than half of all governmental positions; but in
transportation, personal service, manufactures, labour and domestic
service, the predominance of the foreign element warranted the
assertion of the state Bureau of
Statistics of Labour that " the strong
industrial condition of Massachusetts has been secured and is held
not by the labour of what is called the 'native stock,' but by that
of the immigrants." After the original and exclusively English
immigration from 1620 to 1640 there was nothing like regular
foreign immigration until the 19th century; and it was a favourite
assertion of Dr
Palfrey that
the blood of the fishing folk on Cape Cod was more purely English
through two centuries than that of the inhabitants of any English
county.

The vote varies from year to year, and
it is not unusual for a certain number of municipalities to change
from " licence " to " no licence," and vice versa. The general
result has been that centres of population, especially where the
foreign element is large, usually vote for licence, while those in
which native population predominates, as well as the smaller towns,
usually vote for prohibition. Through a growing acquiescence in the
operation of the local option law, the relative importance of the
vote of the Prohibition Party has diminished.

In 1629 Governor
Bradford procured from the same council a
definite grant of the tract which corresponds to the south-eastern
portion of the present state. But all attempts to procure a royal
charter for Plymouth Colony were unsuccessful, and in 1691 it was
annexed to the Colony of Massachusetts Bay under what is termed the
Provincial Charter.
King
James having by patent
in 1620 created a Council for New England to whom he made a large

The magistrates successfully asserted
themselves to the discomfiture of their critics (Ann Hutchinson
being banished), and this was characteristic of the colony's early
history. The charter gave the company control over the admission of
" freemen " (co-partners in the enterprise, and voters), " full and
absolute power and authority to correct, punish and rule " subjects
settling in the territory comprised in their grant, and power to "
resist. .. by all fitting ways and means whatever " all persons
attempting the " destruction, invasion, detriment or annoyance " of
the plantation.

Criticism of church or magistrates was
not tolerated. Laws were modelled closely on the
Bible. The clergy were a ruling class. The
government was frankly theocratic. Said Winthrop (1637): " We see
not that any should have authority to set up any other exercises
besides what authority
bath
already set up "; and a
synod at
Cambridge in 1637 catalogued eighty-two " opinions, some
blasphemous, others erroneous and all unsafe," besides nine "
unwholesome expressions," all of which were consigned " to the
devil of
hell from whence they came." Another synod at
Cambridge in 1647 more formally established the principle of state
control. The legislation against Baptists (about 1644-1678) and the
persecution of the
Quakers
(especially 1656-1662) partook of the brutality of the time,
including scourging,
boring of
tongues, cutting of ears and in rare cases
capital
punishment.

It was once generally assumed that the repression
practised attained its end of securing harmony of opinion. The fact
seems to be that intellectual
speculation was as strong in America as in
Puritan England; the assumption that the
inhibition of its expression was good seems
wholly gratuitous, and contrary to general convictions underlying
modern freedom of speech. A safer opinion is probably that " the
spiritual growth of Massachusetts withered under the
shadow of dominant orthodoxy; the
colony was only saved from mental
atrophy by its vigorous political life " (J. A.
Doyle). In literature the second half of the 17th century is a
sterile waste of forbidding theology; and its life, judged by the
present day, singularly sombre.
In addition to the few persons banished to Rhode Island,

office and the suffrage, and accorded " liberty of
conscience " except to
Roman Catholics. The old religious exclusiveness had already been
greatly lessened: the clergy were less powerful,
heresy had thrived under repression, Anglican
churchmen had come to the colony and were borne with perforce,
devotion to trade and commerce had weakened theological tests in
favour of ideals of mere good order and prosperity, and a spirit of
toleration had grown.

This is known as the " Boston
Massacre." The merchants combined to prevent
the importation of goods which by law would yield the crown a
revenue; and the patriots - as the anti-prerogative party called
themselves - under the lead of Samuel Adams, instituted regular
communication between the different towns, and afterwards,
following the initiative of Virginia, with the other colonies,
through " committees of correspondence "; a method of the utmost
advantage thereafter in forcing on the revolution by intensifying
and unifying the resistance of the colony, and by inducing the
co-operation of other
colonies. In 1773 (Dec. 16) a party of citizens, disguised as
Indians and instigated by popular meetings, boarded some
tea-ships in the harbour of Boston, and
to prevent the landing of their taxable cargoes threw them into the
sea; this incident is known in history as the " Boston tea-party."
Parliament in
retaliation closed the port of Boston
(1774), a proceeding which only aroused more bitter feeling in the
country towns and enlisted the sympathy of the other colonies. The
governorship was now given to General
Thomas Gage, who commanded the troops which
had been sent to Boston. Everything foreboded an outbreak. Most of
the families of the highest social position were averse to extreme
measures; a large number were not won over and became expatriated
loyalists.

distress, and the unsettled political
conditions of the years of the

While Lincoln was at Worcester Shays
planned to capture the arsenal at Springfield, but on the 25th of

took 150 prisoners.

Two of the insurgent leaders,
Daniel Shays and
Eli Parsons,
escaped to Vermont soon after the rout at Petersham. Fourteen other
insurgents who were tried by the Supreme Court in the spring of
1787 were found guilty of
treason and sentenced to death. They were,
however, held rather as hostages for the good behaviour of worse
offenders who had escaped, and were pardoned in September. In
February 1788 Shays and Parsons petitioned for
pardon, and this was granted by the legislature
in the following June. The outcome of the uprising was an
encouraging test of
loyalty
to the commonwealth; and the insurrection is regarded as having
been very potent in preparing public opinion throughout the country
for the adoption of a stronger national government.

The Federalist
preference for England over France was strong in Massachusetts, and
her sentiment was against the war with England of 1812-15. New
England's discontent culminated in the
Hartford Convention (Dec. 1814), in which
Massachusetts men predominated. The state, however, bore her full
part in the war, and much of its naval success was due to her
sailors.
During the interval till the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861,
Massachusetts held a distinguished place in national life and
politics. As a state she may justly be said to have been foremost
in the struggle against
slavery.' She opposed the policy that led to
the Mexican War in 1846, although a regiment was raised in
Massachusetts by the personal exertions of
Caleb Cushing. The leaders of the ultra
non-political abolitionists (who opposed the formation of the
Liberty party) were mainly Massachusetts men, notably W. L.
Garrison and
Wendell Phillips. The Federalist
domination had been succeeded by
Whig rule in the state; but after the death
of the great Whig,
Daniel Webster, in 1852, all parties
disintegrated, re-aligning themselves gradually in an aggressive
anti-slavery party and the temporizing Democratic party.

Free-Soilers contributed as leaders
Charles Sumner and C. F. Adams; the
Know-Nothings,
Henry
Wilson and N. P. Banks; and later, the War Democrats, B. F.
Butler - all men of mark in the history of the state. Charles
Sumner, the most eminent exponent of the new party, was the state's
senator in Congress (1851-1874).

Adjutant-General in 1885, the
enlistments were 146,730 men, of whom 13,942 died in $42,605,517.19
in the war; and private contributions of citizens are reckoned in
addition at about $9,000,000, exclusive of the aid to families of
soldiers, paid then and later by the state.
Since the close of the war Massachusetts has remained gener ally
steadfast in adherence to the principles of the Republican party,
and has continued to develop its resources.

movement," which sprang out of German affiliations and produced as
one of its results the well-known community of
Brook Farm (1841-1847),

organization, a sentiment and an aspiration for higher thinking
which gave Emerson his following.
