The Creation of the British Atlantic World
Author: Elizabeth ManckePublisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421419157
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
Was the British Atlantic shaped more by imperial rivalries or by the actions of subnational groups with a variety of economic, social, and religious agendas? The Creation of the British Atlantic World analyzes the interrelationship between these competing explanations for the development of the British Atlantic by examining migration patterns on both the macro and micro level. It also scrutinizes the roles played by trade, religion, ethnicity, and class in linking Atlantic borders and the increasingly complicated legal, intellectual and emotional relationship between the British sovereign and colonial charterholders. Contributors include Joyce E. Chaplin, John E. Crowley, David Barry Gaspar, April Lee Hatfield, James Horn, Ray A. Kea, Elizabeth Mancke, Philip D. Morgan, William M. Offutt, Robert Olwell, Carole Shammas, Wolfgang Splitter, Mark L. Thompson, Karin Wulf, Avihu Zakai.

Pages : 55
Book Description
The New England tavern provided alcohol, food, and lodging for travelers and townspeople and was a space for social, economic, political, and even religious activities. Central town drinking establishments were integral to the colonists' pursuit of social control, and they deemed taverns necessary from first settlement. This thesis argues that, because taverns were vital to town life but could encourage vice, they were regulated closely through a combination of legislation and the local appointment of responsible townsmen as proprietors. These tavern keepers, designated "fit men," were important community members that properly oversaw their households. Local leaders inferred they would also be able to run the town tavern, usually out of their own home, in an orderly way. Colonists did not establish this regulatory system because they hated drinking or feared disruptive "strangers." Instead, they closely controlled drinking spaces as part of their desire for a pious and orderly society.
