Taylor presents that American colonization derived from a global expansion of European exploration and commerce that began in the fifteenth century. The English had to share the stage with French, Spanish, Dutch, and Russians, each of whom created alternative Americas. He also focuses on slavery as central to the economy, culture, and political thought of the colonists and on the importance of native peoples to the colonial story--Book jacket.
