In the 17th century a quarter of a million men, women, and children left England's shores for America. Some were explorers and merchants, others soldiers and missionaries; many were fugitives from poverty and persecution. All, in their own way, were adventurers, risking their lives and fortunes to make something of themselves overseas. They irrevocably changed the land and indigenous peoples they encountered and their new world changed them. But that was only half the story. The plantations established from Maine to the Caribbean needed support at home, especially royal endorsement and money, which made adventurers of English monarchs and investors too. Attitudes to America were crucial, and evolved as the colonies grew in size, prosperity, and self-confidence. Meanwhile, for those who had crossed the ocean, America forced people to rethink the country in which they had been raised, and to which they remained attached after emigration. In tandem with new ideas about the New World, migrants pondered their English mother country's traditions and achievements, its problems and its uncertain future in an age of war and revolution. Using hundreds of letters, journals, reports, pamphlets and contemporary books, Between Two Worlds recreates this fascinating transatlantic history one which has often been neglected or misunderstood on both sides of the Atlantic in the centuries since. 606 $aAmericas (North, Central, South, West Indies)$2bisac 606 $aRegions & Countries - Americas$2HILCC 606 $aHistory & Archaeology$2HILCC 606 $aUnited States - General$2HILCC 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 607 $aUnited States$xCivilization$xEnglish influences 607 $aUnited States$xCivilization$yTo 1783 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 7$aAmericas (North, Central, South, West Indies) 615 7$aRegions & Countries - Americas 615 7$aHistory & Archaeology 615 7$aUnited States - General 676 $a973.2 700 $aGaskill$b Malcolm$01095720 801 0$bPQKB 801 2$bWlCmTSD 801 2$bAzTeS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788078803321 996 $aBetween two worlds$92631044 997 $aUNINA
