This carefully collected volume of eight essays and 24 supporting
documents allows access to the best and latest scholarship about
mainland British North America. This book demonstrates how
differences in race, ethnicity, gender, and social status were
continually negotiated throughout Britain's North American
colonies. It includes essays about Native Americans, the
transatlantic slave trade, the rise of gentility, regulation of the
sexual behavior of both white and black women, and the creation of
new religious practices. Overall, "Colonial American History"
reveals that this amalgamation of cultures presented the European
colonists, Native Americans and Africans alike with the opportunity
- and necessity - to establish new identities and create new forms
of community and authority.
The book includes a general introduction, chapter introductions,
and supporting documents for each essay. The documents - diaries,
letters, trial summaries, treaties, slave codes, and travel
narratives - are designed to illuminate key issues raised in the
essays and facilitate lively, informed classroom discussion.
