    Plantation Societies in British America, 1650–1820

    par Trevor Burnard ...
    Collections series American Beginnings, 1500–1900
    As with any enterprise involving violence and lots of money, running a plantation in early British America was a serious and brutal enterprise.

  • From Resistance to Revolution

    par Pauline Maier ...
    Maintaining that the outbreak of revolution in 1775 was not the result of secret planning by radicals but rather the end product of years of painful evolution, Pauline Maier brilliantly traces the American colonists’ road to independence from 1765 to 1776 and examines the role of popular violence as political allegiances corroded and once-loyal subjects were gradually transformed into ...
