Review of Howard J. Peckham's

The first intercolonial conference took place in New York in April of 1690. The plan was for a united invasion of Canada but many colonies faltered. Virginia's House of Burgesses refused to interact because of its new lieutenant governor's grudge with New York's governor. Rhode Island only sent money and Philadelphia could do nothing while without a governor. A second conference was called three years later but the absent colonies were an excuse for the attending not reaching an agreement. The only successful unification was among Massachusetts Bay, Maine and Plymouth to form a royal colony in 1692. The steps taken to try and form a unified colonial system were the precursors to eventual revolution. .
             Much like the attempts at colonial cooperation, cooperation between the army and navy was a dismal failure as well. Sir William Phipps" naval expedition to Quebec wound up being a fruitless venture that cost many lives and Massachusetts Bay over fifty-thousand pounds. But still, British military leaders foresaw the limitless possibilities of a coordinated land-sea attack. .
             The Treaty of Ryswick was signed on September 30, 1697 and brought King William's War to an end. Both sides basically finished with what they started with because France and England had their conquests restored. France was happy to end a costly war while England was rejoicing in an increased prestige in Europe. The colonists were not as joyful. A sense of abandonment overcame the colonies as they were left to "create and support every offensive campaign" and to defend its own borders. Britain provided little support offensively or defensively. This lack of return for allegiance was not forgotten. Peckham's observations of an ever changing military strategy and foreshadowing of the revolution still nearly a century away are obvious.
             The peace following King William's War was short-lived as Louis XIV sought to quench his thirst for expansion and power.
