Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between Britain and its colonies in the 1730s, drawing on a wealth of primary sources to shed light on a period of relative peace between wars. This volume is particularly rich in sources relating to Georgia, a colony founded in 1732 with the aim of providing a haven for debtors and the poor. The book provides insights into the challenges faced by colonial administrators in managing the affairs of the disparate group that settled in Georgia, where entrepreneurial drive came into conflict with the need for social order and a stable economy. The author explores how the British state, through its various departments, sought to shape and control colonial development in the decades before the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. The book also examines the tensions that existed between different imperial institutions such as the Board of Trade and the Secretary of State's office for the Southern Department as well as the relationship between the colonies and Native American communities.
