dbo:abstract
  • The Pine Tree Riot was an act of resistance to British royal authority undertaken by American colonists in Weare, New Hampshire on April 14, 1772, placing it among the disputes between Crown and colonists that culminated in the American Revolution. By the late 17th century the construction and maintenance of the huge number of ships required to build and defend the British Empire left few trees in Britain suitable for use as large spars. Eastern white pines from colonial New England were superior timber for the single-stick masts and booms of the day. To maintain Britain's naval and trading advantage, laws were passed in North America to protect selected white pines for British shipbuilding. British success in the War of Jenkins' Ear (1739–1748) and the Seven Years' War (1756–1763) were due in large part to the control of the seas by the Royal Navy. (en)
  • Le Pine Tree Riot ("l'Émeute des pins") est un acte de résistance à l'autorité royale britannique entrepris par les colons américains au New Hampshire en 1772, ce qui le plaçait au nombre des conflits entre la Couronne et les colons qui culmina avec la révolution américaine. À la fin du XVIIe siècle, la construction et l'entretien du grand nombre de navires nécessaires à la construction et à la défense de l'Empire britannique ne laissèrent que très peu d'arbres en Grande-Bretagne, pouvant être utilisés comme grands espars. Les pins blancs de la Nouvelle-Angleterre coloniale étaient un bois de qualité supérieure pour les mâts d'un seul brin et les bômes du jour. Afin de préserver l'avantage naval et commercial de la Grande-Bretagne, des lois ont été adoptées en Amérique du Nord afin de protéger certains pins blancs pour la construction navale britannique. Le succès britannique dans la guerre de l'oreille de Jenkins (1739-1748) et la guerre de Sept Ans (1756-1763) est dû en grande partie au contrôle des mers par la Royal Navy. (fr)
