Description:

This text aims to provide not simply an account of Anglo-American colonial development, but to blend narration of the major moments and movements in its evolution with an analysis of the major structures of colonial economy and society both in North American and the Caribbean.

Synopsis:

Of northern European nations, the British had the greatest impact on the Americas. Their history there embraces far more than the colonies that became the United States: England had been in the New World for a century before those colonies were established, and the British presence long outlived their loss. This integrated account of that involvement spans the entire arc of British territories from the Caribbean to Canada, and the entire period from the first appearance of the English to the disintegration of the British and other Euro-American empires. A fascinating story, engrossingly told, it fills a major gap in current historiography.
