I doubt not, my brethren, but upon hearing the words that have been read, your thoughts had immediate recourse to the sad occasion... which make consideration of them peculiarly seasonable, and the duty mentioned in them necessary to be performed by us all; viz the melancholy circumstances of our nation, by reason of the horrid rebellion of many of His Majesty's subjects, against the Crown... and the Protestant Succession... in favour of a Popish Pretender; whereby the nation is thrown into a great ferment, and they are call'd to arms in all parts of it, by the will of God, to suppress the same... 1That such a message should be preached on the occasion of the Jacobite rebellion of 1745-46 is not surprising. What is noteworthy is that this is not an attempt by an Anglican divine in Britain to rouse his congregation to action versus the intrusion against King and Country, but the Rev. Hull Abbot, speaking to a Congregational Church in Charlestown, Massachusetts. 2 The setting across the Atlantic, however, makes the message no less patriotic in its support of the established order, nor less vehement in its denunciation of those who threatened it. The examination of transatlantic ties has held a long attraction for scholars. In the context of Scottish relations with colonial America, attention was focused on distinct areas where Scots made an impact on the development of America, with clear boundaries established between'Scots' and'America'. 3 More recent developments have examined elements within the British Empire through a larger common interaction, placing regions such as Scotland, America, and England together in order to discover their continuing influence on each other. 4 The result has been a heightened realization of these regions as distinct parts, yet existing within a transatlantic community, a greater polity which requires further examination. 5
