| Summary | "An Address to the People of New-England" by Samuel Hopkins is a historical and religious publication written in the mid-18th century. The book addresses the critical importance of establishing just and friendly relations with Native Americans in New England, particularly in the context of promoting Christianity among them. It argues that such efforts are not only morally right but also essential for the safety and prosperity of the British provinces in America. In this work, Hopkins outlines the necessity of treating Indigenous groups with kindness and justice to secure their allegiance against potential threats, particularly from French forces. He emphasizes that engaging the Natives as allies through fair dealings and the dissemination of Christian teachings is paramount. By providing practical recommendations, including fair trade practices and the establishment of schools and support for ministers, he posits that these measures would foster goodwill and prevent alliance with the French. Ultimately, his address is both a call to moral action and a practical guide for colonial relationships with Native American tribes, aiming for peace and cooperation.
