Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There were 26—not 13—British colonies in America in 1776. Of these, the six colonies in the Caribbean—Jamaica, Barbados, the Leeward Islands, Grenada and Tobago, St. Vincent; and Dominica—were among the wealthiest. These island colonies were closely related to the mainland by social ties and tightly connected by trade. In a period when most British colonists in North America lived less than 200 miles inland and the major cities were all situated along the coast, the ocean often acted as a highway between islands and mainland rather than a barrier. The plantation system of the islands was so similar to that of the southern mainland colonies that these regions had more in common with each other, some historians argue, than either had with New England. Political developments in all the colonies moved along parallel tracks, with elected assemblies in the Caribbean, like their mainland counterparts, seeking to increase their authority at the expense of colonial executives. Yet when revolution came, the majority of the white island colonists did not side with their compatriots on the mainland. A major contribution to the history of the American Revolution, An Empire Divided traces a split in the politics of the mainland and island colonies after the Stamp Act Crisis of 1765-66, when the colonists on the islands chose not to emulate the resistance of the patriots on the mainland. Once war came, it was increasingly unpopular in the British Caribbean; nonetheless, the white colonists cooperated with the British in defense of their islands. O'Shaughnessy decisively refutes the widespread belief that there was broad backing among the Caribbean colonists for the American Revolution and deftly reconstructs the history of how the island colonies followed an increasingly divergent course from the former colonies to the north.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Importance of the British Colonies in the West Indies: The Danger of a General and Immediate Emancipation of the Negroes; And a Sketch of a Plan for a Safe and Gradual Emancipation, on Terms Favourable to All Parties, and Without Any Loan The repugnance to the measure which he thus publicly and solemnly avowed, was not founded on the apprehension of pecuniary loss, but on a full conviction that it would inevitably be followed by violence and' outrage of the most lawless, and, to all parties, of the most ruinous character; and he would have deemed it but a sorry indication either of justice or of humanity, to fee the ten thousand whites (for that is about the number) with twenty millions, or 20001, each on the average, in order that theymight run the imminent risk, - the absolute certainty, of having their property de stroyed, and themselves massacred, in the most summary, wanton, and savage manner. Yet that is the bargain proposed at the present time, and with the recollection of the dreadful outrages com mitted during the late insurrection ln Jamaica still fresh in memory; and proposed, too, by those who, if they have one duty more solemnly, more awfully binding upon them than another, it is the duty of preservmg the lives and properties of their fellow-subjects in peace and security, wheresoever they may reside, and in what lawful calling soever they may be engaged. That is one of the most melancholy effects of that strange delusion, which, under the name Of Political Economy, la bours to reduce not only Justice and equity, but all the passions and feelings of human nature, to the one cold and narrow standard of pounds, shil lings and pence. It may seem singular why Opinion (for it is mere opinion and not knowledge, or even reasoning) should have degenerated so strangely during a period when, as we are told, wisdom has been making advances so unprecedented. The only solution of the enigma is, that the opinion on the slave question has never been founded on the proper knowledge; and that consequently, it has become more erroneous, in proportion as it has been more widely extended. Its course has been like that of a river, the feeders of which rise in the hills, and which bring down fresh mud and rubbish at every stream, so that the river becomes more and more tainted as it runs, and the end of it is alternate inundation and marsh, equally unprofit able and equally pestilent.

Download or read book Colonial Ecology Atlantic Economy written by Strother E. Roberts and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the Connecticut River Valley—New England's longest river and largest watershed— Strother Roberts traces the local, regional, and transatlantic markets in colonial commodities that shaped an ecological transformation in one corner of the rapidly globalizing early modern world. Reaching deep into the interior, the Connecticut provided a watery commercial highway for the furs, grain, timber, livestock, and various other commodities that the region exported. Colonial Ecology, Atlantic Economy shows how the extraction of each commodity had an impact on the New England landscape, creating a new colonial ecology inextricably tied to the broader transatlantic economy beyond its shores. This history refutes two common misconceptions: first, that globalization is a relatively new phenomenon and its power to reshape economies and natural environments has only fully been realized in the modern era and, second, that the Puritan founders of New England were self-sufficient ascetics who sequestered themselves from the corrupting influence of the wider world. Roberts argues, instead, that colonial New England was an integral part of Britain's expanding imperialist commercial economy. Imperial planners envisioned New England as a region able to provide resources to other, more profitable parts of the empire, such as the sugar islands of the Caribbean. Settlers embraced trade as a means to afford the tools they needed to conquer the landscape and to acquire the same luxury commodities popular among the consumer class of Europe. New England's native nations, meanwhile, utilized their access to European trade goods and weapons to secure power and prestige in a region shaken by invading newcomers and the diseases that followed in their wake. These networks of extraction and exchange fundamentally transformed the natural environment of the region, creating a landscape that, by the turn of the nineteenth century, would have been unrecognizable to those living there two centuries earlier.
