Description

Reflecting the growing scholarly interest in transnational and comparative approaches to studying the past, British Atlantic, American Frontier offers a geographical standpoint at the development of British The united states within the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It covers in detail not only the American eastern seaboard, but also eastern Canada and the West Indies, in addition to the trans-Atlantic links to Western Europe and West Africa. At one level, the book synthesizes much of the present historical and geographical scholarship on these regions; at some other level, it offers a provocative interpretation of British The united states, arguing that profound and long-standing differences existed between the American eastern seaboard and the Atlantic regions of eastern Canada and the West Indies. These differences in the long run led to the break-up of British The united states, the creation of america, and the reconfiguration of the British Empire.

British Atlantic, American Frontier is illustrated with multiple hundred photographs, maps, and historical illustrations.
