Реки многоводные, преимущественно быстрые, порожистые, особенно на плато Пидмонт. Наиболее крупные из них судоходны: Саскуэханна [ Susquehanna River], Огайо [ Ohio River] с ее истоками Аллегейни [ Allegheny River] и Мононгахила [ Monongahela River]. Много озер. Более 60 процентов территории покрыто лесами. Штат обладает крупными запасами угля, является крупнейшим производителем антрацита. На северо-западе есть запасы нефти и природного газа. На основной части территории штата континентальный влажный климат. На юго-востоке долгое, жаркое лето, мягкая зима; на Аппалачском плато более долгая зима и короткое лето. До появления поселенцев на территории будущего штата жили племена делаваров [ Delaware], шауни [ Shawnee] и саскуэханна [Susquehanna], племена из Ирокезской лиги [ Iroquois League] и др. В XVII в. о своих правах на эти земли заявляли Голландия, Швеция, Англия. В 1614 голландцы исследовали долину р. Делавэр. В 1643 шведы создали первые постоянные поселения на о. Тиникум [Tinicum Island] и Новый Готтенбург [New Gottenburg] в окрестностях современного г. Честера [ Chester]. В 1655 Новая Швеция [ New Sweden] была завоевана голландцами во главе с П. Стайвесантом [ Stuyvesant, Peter] и вошла в состав Новых Нидерландов [ New Netherland], но в 1664 англичане, в свою очередь, взяли под контроль эту голландскую колонию. В 1681 квакер [ Quakers] У. Пенн [ Penn, William, Jr.] получил в дар от английского короля Карла II территорию, известную под названием "Пенсильванское провидение" [Providence of Pennsylvania]. Колония была названа Пенсильванией в честь отца У. Пенна, адмирала Уильяма Пенна. Первое английское поселение Филадельфия было основано здесь в 1682, вскоре она стала столицей колонии и одним из крупнейших городов в Новом Свете. Пенн-младший задумал создать образцовое общество, основанное на демократических принципах, и назвал его "Священный эксперимент" [ Holy Experiment]. По "Великому закону Пенсильвании" ["The Great Law of Pennsylvania"] - конституции, было создано представительное собрание, провозглашались право каждого на жизнь и свободу и полная веротерпимость; смертная казнь предусматривалась только за убийство и предательство, был введен суд присяжных, участие в выборах ограничивалось незначительным имущественным цензом. Пенн и его последователи заключили соглашения о дружбе с индейцами, что обеспечило достаточно длительный (около 70 лет) период стабильных отношений между поселенцами и местными племенами. В Пенсильванию, кроме квакеров, стали переселяться французские протестанты, шотландцы, немцы [ Pennsylvania Dutch]. К 1750 из-за интенсивного заселения земель начались конфликты с индейцами, со временем приведшие к их вытеснению или уничтожению. Поток английских переселенцев и торговцев в западную Пенсильванию хлынул в середине XVIII в. Французы построили цепь фортов от оз. Эри до устья р. Огайо. В 1754-63 Пенсильвания стала ареной войн с французами и индейцами [ French and Indian wars]. После взятия французского форта Дюкен [ Fort Duquesne] (1758) в 1759-61 на месте современного г. Питсбурга под руководством генерала Дж. Форбса [ Forbes, John] был построен форт Питт [ Fort Pitt], ставший важным форпостом повстанцев в период Войны за независимость [ Revolutionary War]. В 1763 произошло крупное восстание индейцев под предводительством Понтиака [ Pontiac's Conspiracy]. Пенсильвания сыграла существенную роль в борьбе за независимость. Пенсильванцы участвовали во многих битвах в других колониях, в том числе в осаде Бостона (1775), создали собственный флот. На территории будущего штата произошли битвы за форт Миффлин [Fort Mifflin, Battle of], Джермантаун [ Germantown, Battle of] и сражение на ручье Брэндивайн [ Brandywine, Battle of the]. В 1777-78 Дж. Вашингтон [ Washington, George] зимовал со своей армией в Вэлли-Фордж [ Valley Forge] в 40 км западнее Филадельфии. Сам город был центром политической активности в колониях. В июле 1774 здесь проходили выборы делегатов на первый Континентальный конгресс [First Continental Congress; Continental Congresses], который также был проведен в Филадельфии. В 1776 на втором Континентальном конгрессе [Second Continental Congress] была подписана Декларация независимости [ Declaration of Independence]. В 1787 делегаты Конституционного конвента [ Constitutional Convention] в Филадельфии составили проект Конституции США [ Constitution, U.S.]. 12 декабря 1787 Пенсильвания стала вторым по счету штатом США. В 1790-1800 Филадельфия была столицей молодого государства. В 1794 и 1799 штат стал местом первых фермерских восстаний [ Whiskey Rebellion; Fries Rebellion]. Современные границы Пенсильвании возникли в 1792, когда в ее состав была включена территория на северо-западе, известная как "Треугольник Эри" ["Erie Triangle"], что расширило ее выход к побережью этого озера. В 1799 столицей штата стал г. Ланкастер [ Lancaster], а в 1812 она была перенесена в Гаррисберг. Важную роль Пенсильвания сыграла в Гражданской войне [ Civil War], что определялось многими факторами, в том числе аболиционистскими [ abolition] взглядами квакеров, крупными материальными и людскими ресурсами штата и его географическим положением. Основные дороги с Юга [ South] проходили через Гаррисберг, Филадельфию и Питсбург, поэтому, чтобы получить контроль над ними, армия конфедератов Северной Вирджинии [ Army of Northern Virginia] вторглась в Пенсильванию в 1863. Геттисбергское сражение [ Gettysburg, Battle of] (1863) на территории штата стало одним из самых значительных и кровопролитных за время войны. Около трети участников сражения со стороны Армии Союза [ Union Army] были пенсильванцами. В 1873 была принята ныне действующая конституция штата [ state constitution]. Верховный суд штата - один из старейших в стране (создан в 1722). Штат, жители которого поддерживали демократов в 1800-60, после войны стал одним из оплотов Республиканской партии [ Republican Party]. В 1859 у г. Титусвилла [Titusville] начала действовать одна из первых в мире нефтяных скважин. После войны в штате стала интенсивно развиваться промышленность, особенно сталелитейная. В 1867 был впервые использован бессемеровский процесс производства стали. К 1870 крупнейшим индустриальным центром стал г. Питсбург, где производилось до двух третей всей стали США. К концу XIX в. сложилась крупнейшая сталелитейная империя Э. Карнеги [ Carnegie, Andrew], которая после продажи Дж. П. Моргану [ Morgan, John Pierpont] (1901) стала основой корпорации "Юнайтед Стейтс стил" [ United States Steel Corp.]. В штате создана многоотраслевая экономика, в которой важнейшее место принадлежит промышленному производству, сконцентрированному прежде всего в Филадельфии и Питсбурге. По числу занятых в промышленности штат уступает только Калифорнии и Нью-Йорку. Ведущие отрасли - сталелитейная, черная металлургия, транспортное машиностроение, производство металлоизделий, промышленного оборудования, электронных компонентов, инструментов, приборов, химикатов, стройматериалов, изделий из пластмасс, продуктов питания, одежды; развиты полиграфия и энергетика, в том числе ядерная. Географическое положение и высокоразвитая сеть дорог делают штат "воротами" Среднего Запада [ Midwest] и Юга [ South]. Высоко развито сельское хозяйство: Пенсильвания лидирует в производстве молока и молочных продуктов, бройлеров, яиц, яблок, шампиньонов. Основные посевные культуры - кукуруза, сеяные травы, соя, пшеница. Один из наиболее доходных секторов экономики - туризм. В целом, бурный рост экономического развития прерывался только во время разрушительного Джонстаунского наводнения [ Johnstown flood] в 1899 и в период Великой депрессии [ Great Depression] 1930-х. В годы второй мировой войны штат играл важную роль в военном производстве. Ныне Пенсильвания продолжает оставаться лидером в области сталелитейной промышленности и добычи угля. В конце XIX - начале XX в. в политической жизни штата господствовали республиканские боссы [ bossism]. Конец этой эпохи наступил с кончиной Б. Пенроуза [ Penrose, Boies] в 1921. В последние годы ни одна из основных партий не имеет постоянного превосходства на выборах различного уровня. По мере промышленного роста росло и рабочее движение, создавались профсоюзы. Штат стал местом крупных забастовок железнодорожников - в Питсбурге (1877), сталелитейщиков [ Homestead Steel Strike] (1892), горняков [ Anthracite Strike of 1902] (1902). В Пенсильвании берет начало АФТ-КПП [ AFL-CIO].English-Russian dictionary of regional studies > Pennsylvania
