British America 1500-1800 by Steven Sarson
This account examines the way in which the New World was invented and offers a convincing analysis of the loss of the First British Empire.
'Sarson's volume is essentially a textbook on early American history, covering the whole of settlement from the Maritime Provinces to the Caribbean and beyondAs such it is a good one. Sarson has compiled detailed narratives of the social and political development of every colony from the well-known stories of Virginians and New Englanders to far less familiar West Indian islands ... Especially intriguing is that Sarson extends not only the geographic but also the chronological boundaries of the field, managing most unusually to extend the story beyond 1776 even to the formation of a new government of the United States without losing sight of the larger context of British settlement and empire as imperial development extended into the northern reaches of North America and beyond.'
