About This Book

A series of vivid winter scenes and intimate portraits of impoverished households in a North American colonial city lead into a sustained political argument: British imperial economic policies suppress local industry and drive emigration, while closer ties with the neighboring republic would offer greater prosperity. The narrative alternates descriptive, atmospheric sketches of cold, hunger, and domestic hardship with polemical chapters on trade, reciprocity, and social consequences, using anecdotes and appeals to practical remedy to make the case for political and economic realignment.
