" 112 ILLINOIS IN 1818 The English settlement in 1818 was too young and too much occupied with its own problems to exert any considerable in- fluence upon the affairs of the territory and state, but its influ- ence was destined to be very considerable in later years. The leaders were men of superior intelligence and education and took an active share in public life. Especially in the struggle over the admission of slavery in 1823 and 1824 their influence was to be felt on the side of freedom. T...he settlement was destined to pro- mote also the agricultural development of the state. The lead- ers were well instructed in the theory and practice of agriculture, and the farmers whom they brought over were "accustomed to continuous labor. " Their capital enabled them to carry on opera- tions on a scale hitherto unknov/n upon the frontier, and the blooded stock which they introduced was a valuable asset to the community. The English settlement, moreover, was to give to Illinois unlimited advertising, not only in England, but on the continent and in the United States as well.
