About This Book

This work traces human presence in the Americas from ancient mound-building societies through the continent's indigenous nations, then follows European exploration and colonization by Spanish, French, English, and Dutch ventures. It recounts voyages of discovery, the founding and political organization of early settlements in the Chesapeake and New England regions, and the development of colonial economies, slavery, religious dissent, and social customs. Relations between settlers and native peoples, including diplomacy and armed conflict, are treated alongside legal and institutional changes that shaped self-government. Organized into a fore-history and a chronological narrative of discovery and settlement, the text is supplemented by illustrations, maps, and documentary appendices.
