A sweeping history of early American trade and the foundation of
the American economy "We could have no better guide than Truxes
explaining incisively how American colonial merchants enriched
their communities through licit and illicit trade, and how this
enrichment was the product of slavery and the slave
trade."-Nicholas Canny, author of Imagining Ireland's Pasts In a
single, readily digestible, coherent narrative, historian Thomas M.
Truxes presents the three hundred-year history of the overseas
trade of British America. Born from seeds planted in Tudor England
in the sixteenth century, Atlantic trade allowed the initial
survival, economic expansion, and later prosperity of British
America, and brought vastly different geographical regions, each
with a distinctive identity and economic structure, into a single
fabric. Truxes shows how colonial American prosperity was only
possible because of the labor of enslaved Africans, how the
colonial economy became dependent on free and open markets, and how
the young United States owed its survival in the struggle of the
American Revolution to Atlantic trade.
