An important contribution to both the new history of colonial
British America and revisionist Irish economic and social history,
this book assaults well established myths depicting Irish
involvement in transatlantic trade as subordinate to narrow British
interests. Ireland's vigorous trade with British America was
essentially inter-colonial commerce, contributing to commercial
development at home, the West Indian islands, and the North
American mainland. In colonial ports from Philadelphia to
Bridgetown, Barbados, overseas Irish merchant communities managed a
trade that took its lead from entrepreneurs in Dublin, Cork, and
Belfast with ties to Irish agriculture and manufacturing. As well
as commodities and the men who moved them, the book examines the
formation of Irish-colonial trade, its place in the mercantilist
framework, the structure and financing of trade, the relationship
between transatlantic trade and emigration, and the impact of the
American Revolution on the commercial relationship between Ireland
and America.
