Together with his brothers Nicholas, Joseph and Moses, John was instrumental in founding Brown University (then known as the College of Rhode Island) and moving it to their family's former land in Providence. John Brown laid the cornerstone of the university's oldest building in 1770, and he served as its treasurer for 21 years (1775 – 1796).〔〔 Brown was one of the founders of Providence Bank and became its first president in 1791.〔〔 He was active in the American Revolution, notably as an instigator of the 1772 Gaspee Affair, and he served in both state and national government. At the same time, he was a powerful defender of slave trading, clashing aggressively—in newspapers, courts and politics—with his brother Moses, who had become an abolitionist.〔〔 John Brown's home in Providence is now a museum and National Historic Landmark.〔 ==Early life== Born in Providence, Rhode Island, on January 27, 1736, to James Brown II and Hope Power, Brown went on to own a successful farming and shipping business with his brothers, Nicholas, Joseph, and Moses Brown. He was active in the slave trade and China trade and invested heavily in privateers during the 1760s through 1780s. In 1775, during the American Revolution, John Brown sold the United States Navy its first ship, the USS ''Providence'' (previously, the ''Katy''). Brown was named as a delegate for Rhode Island to the Continental Congress in 1784-1785 but did not attend. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Brown (Rhode Island)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
