Settlers, Liberty, and Empire traces the emergence of a
revolutionary conception of political authority on the far shores
of the eighteenth-century Atlantic world. Based on the equal
natural right of English subjects to leave the realm, claim
indigenous territory, and establish new governments by consent,
this radical set of ideas culminated in revolution and
republicanism. But unlike most scholarship on early American
political theory, Craig Yirush does not focus solely on the
revolutionary era of the late eighteenth century. Instead, he
examines how the political ideas of settler elites in British North
America emerged in the often-forgotten years between the Glorious
Revolution in America and the American Revolution against Britain.
By taking seriously an imperial world characterized by
constitutional uncertainty, geo-political rivalry, and the ongoing
presence of powerful Native American peoples, Yirush provides a
long-term explanation for the distinctive ideas of the American
Revolution.
