Creation of the British Atlantic World

<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? The Creation of the British Atlantic World analyzes the interrelationship between these competing explanations for the development of the British Atlantic by examining migration patterns on both the macro and micro level. It also scrutinizes the roles played by trade religion ethnicity and class in linking Atlantic borders and the increasingly complicated legal intellectual and emotional relationship between the British sovereign and colonial charterholders.Contributors include Joyce E.
