"Kept between 1792 and 1804, Faris' diary brings to life all the color and energy of his vibrant community, giving us a view of late 18th century Annapolis unavailable from any other source. You will discover who these people were and follow the course of their lives: their births, marriages, illnesses, deaths, and burials. One can also enter the mind of an 18th century master craftsman, witness the integrity and honesty of business conducted face to face, the hours spent creating intricate clocks and watches, the creation of striking silver pieces. The annotated diary also provides an abundance of genealogical information." - The Maryland Historical Society From the professional library of Dr. Philip D. Morgan, a professor of History at Johns Hopkins University. Morgan specializes in the African-American experience, the history of slavery, the early Caribbean, and the study of the early Atlantic world.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "Planting an Empire" explores the social and economic history of the Chesapeake region, revealing a story of two similar but distinct colonies in early America. Linked by the Chesapeake Bay, Virginia and Maryland formed a prosperous and politically important region in British North America before the American Revolution. Yet these "sister" colonies-alike in climate and soil, emphasis on tobacco farming, and use of enslaved labor-eventually followed divergent social and economic paths. Jean B. Russo and J. Elliott Russo review the shared history of these two colonies, examining not only their unsteady origins, the powerful role of tobacco, and the slow development of a settler society but also the economic disparities and political jealousies that divided them. Recounting the rich history of the Chesapeake Bay region over a 150-year period, the authors discuss in clear and accessible prose the key developments common to both colonies as well as important regional events, including Maryland's "plundering time", Bacon's Rebellion in Virginia, and the opening battles of the French and Indian War.They explain how the internal differences and regional discord of the seventeenth century gave way in the eighteenth century to a more coherent regional culture fostered by a shared commitment to slavery and increasing socio-economic maturity. Addressing an undergraduate audience, the Russos study not just wealthy plantation owners and government officials but all the people involved in planting an empire in the Chesapeake region-poor and middling planters, women, Native Americans, enslaved and free blacks, and non-English immigrants. No other book offers such a comprehensive brief history of the Maryland and Virginia colonies and their place within the emerging British Empire.
