Description
Résumé:"Was the British Atlantic shaped more by imperial rivalries or by the actions of subnational groups with a variety of economic, social, and religious agendas? [This book] analyzes the interrelationship between these competing explanations for the development of the British Atlantic by examining migration patterns on both the macro and micro levels. It also scrutinizes the roles played by trade, religion, ethnicity, and class in linking Atlantic borders and the increasingly complicated legal, intellectual, and emotional relationships between the British sovereign and colonial charterholders"--Cover, page [4].
