This text examines the transfer of values from Old World to New.Eighty percent of Americans have no British ancestors. According to David Hackett Fischer, however, their day-to-day lives are profoundly influenced by folkways transplanted from Britain to the New World with the first settlers. Residual, yet persistent, aspects of these 17th Century folkways are indentifiable, Fischer argues, in areas as divers as politics, education, and attitudes towards gender, sexuality, age, and child-raising. Making use of both traditional and revisionist scholarship, this ground-breaking work documents how each successive wave of early emigration--Puritans to the North-East; Royalist aristocrats to the South; the Friends to the Delaware Valley; Irish and North Britons to the American backcountry--contributed to, and continue to affect, ingrained cultural differences between various regions in the United States.Regions & Countries - AmericasHILCCHistory & ArchaeologyHILCCUnited States - GeneralHILCCUnited StatesCivilizationTo 1783United StatesCivilizationEnglish influencesElectronic books.lcshRegions & Countries - AmericasHistory & ArchaeologyUnited States - General973Fischer David Hackett1935-889326StDuBDSStDuBDSStDuBDSZUkPrAHLSBOOK9910790054003321Albion's seed3780774UNINA
