A Plan to Reconcile Great Britain & Her Colonies, and Preserve the Dependency of America
- Joseph Cawthorne (author)
- Jack P. Greene (collection editor)
Published in 1774, this short political pamphlet was written on the eve of the American Revolution, during a period of intensifying tensions between Britain and its North American colonies. The work argues for a framework that would mend the imperial relationship while keeping the colonies subordinate to the Crown — positioning itself among the many contemporary loyalist and moderate voices seeking alternatives to outright conflict. It is part of the broader 18th-century pamphlet literature on colonial governance and is digitized as part of the Internet Archive’s Eighteenth Century collection.
