Occupied Newport: A Revolutionary City under British Rule
No full textIn August 1777, William Tweedy, owner of an apothecary shop in Newport, dunked a ten-year-old boy in the water at the end of the Long Wharf. The child, an African- American slave belonging to a lodger in Tweedy’s house, ran home and complained to his master, who took umbrage. The owner, John Cambel, confronted Tweedy, and asked him, “what he meant by wetting his boy,” and struck him repeatedly in front of witnesses. Eventually, Tweedy and Cambel wound up in court. The Tweedy-Cambel controversy, however, did not take place under ordinary circumstances. By the time of the incident, Newport had been occupied by the British army for nine months.

This dissertation aims to lay bare the foundations of the modern regime governing recourse to force in self-defense via a careful examination of primary sources; a through legal-historical analysis of customary law, states practice, Opinio Juris, and travaux préparatoires; and the judicious use of illustrative case studies. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it
