"Newfoundland and the Jingoes: An Appeal to England's Honor" by John Fretwell is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book examines Newfoundland's relationship with England, focusing on the neglect and economic hardships faced by the island due to British policies. Fretwell makes a passionate appeal for better treatment of Newfoundland, arguing for its potential prosperity and the injustices suffered at the hands of the British government. In the text, Fretwell provides a critical analysis of England’s colonial management of Newfoundland, detailing the exploitation of its resources and the failure to establish proper governmental infrastructure. He recounts the struggles of Newfoundland’s fishermen and settlers, juxtaposing their loyalty to the British crown with the indifference they received in return. Fretwell suggests that Newfoundland would be better off if it were to join the United States, citing American policies that could lead to more sustainable economic conditions. His argument is rooted in a broader discussion of colonialism, the moral obligations of empires, and the consequences of neglecting dependent territories.
