William Pitt's decision to seek the abolition of the independent Irish parliament and the union of the established churches in Ireland and England ended a quarter century experiment in Irish legislative independence. During this brief period the penal system had been substantially modified, and the traditional Protestant ascendancy partially dismantled by liberal Protestants themselves. The Church of Ireland, however, had not shared in the enthusiasm of this Irish “renaissance”; parliamentary spokesmen had demanded abolition of the tithe, enforcement of clerical residence, endowment of the Roman Catholic clergy and elimination of abuses in ecclesiastical patronage. Anticlericalism had increased, tithe resistance had infected even Protestant tenants, and pamphlets condemning the Church of Ireland as the unholy wonder of Christendom were penned by Protestants themselves. The alarm of Irish churchmen only too aware of the fundamental weaknesses of the established church, the clamor of British peers with large Irish landholdings and the outbreak of rebellion in 1797, finally convinced British statesmen that the crisis could be relieved only by the abolition of the Irish legislature.

Cet article étudie les stratégies élaborées au XVIIIe siècle par Eleazar Wheelock, le président fondateur du Dartmouth College, pour diffuser le protestantisme dans la vallée du Saint-Laurent et la participation des Amérindiens au projet presbytérien dans la province de Québec. En 1772, Wheelock forge une singulière alliance avec des chefs amérindiens pour introduire des missionnaires et des séminaristes dans les communautés autochtones puis recruter des enfants pour les éduquer et les instruire à Hanover (New Hampshire). Malgré les tentatives du clergé catholique-romain pour contrôler ces échanges, les Iroquois, les Abénaquis et les Hurons collaborent. Les protestants s’installent à Kahnawake et Odanak pour apprendre les langues et les coutumes indiennes, instaurent une école pour y enseigner l’anglais et prêcher l’Évangile et recrutent des enfants pour le premier pensionnat fréquenté par les Amérindiens du Québec, l’école industrielle et résidentielle de la Moor’s Indian Charity School du Dartmouth College. This article examines the strategies developed by Eleazar Wheelock, the founding president of Dartmouth College, to spread Protestantism in the St. Laurence Valley and secure Aboriginal support for Presbyterianism in Quebec. In 1772, Wheelock forged a unique alliance with Aboriginal leaders that permitted the entry of missionaries and seminarians into their communities and the recruitment of children for education and religious instruction in Hanover, New Hampshire. Despite attempts by the Roman Catholic clergy to control these exchanges, the Iroquois, the Abenakis, and the Hurons all collaborated with Wheelock. Protestants settled in Kahnawake and Odanak to learn Aboriginal languages and customs and established a school to teach English, preach the Gospel, and recruit children for the first boarding school attended by Quebec Aboriginals, Moor’s Indian Charity School at Dartmouth College.

Roman Catholic Clergy

The special character of discipline and diversity in the London of the 1560s has never lacked commentators. Following Elizabeth I’s settlement of religion in the parliament of 1559 the new government had many factors to consider. Although convinced Roman Catholic clergy were no longer to be tolerated Elizabeth was anxious not to alienate leading Catholic laymen. Convinced Protestant clerics or potential ordinands, many of them returning from exile or else emerging from prudent seclusion in the British Isles, would either accept her Settlement and shoulder the burden of governing her Church or else, wanting more than it had offered them, move into increasingly militant revolt. These things have been intensively studied and altogether the government’s agenda, like that of many a government swept suddenly to power, can be described as ‘the imposition of discipline and the quashing of diversity’.
