Описание: This bookforegrounds the role of the Royal Navy in creating the British Atlantic in theeighteenth century. It outlines the closely entwined connections between thenurturing of naval supremacy, the politics of commercial protection, and thedevelopment of national and imperial identities – crucial factors in theconsolidation and transformation of the British Atlantic empire. The collectionbrings together scholars working on aspects of the Royal Navy and the BritishAtlantic in order to gain a better understanding of the ways that the Navyprotected, facilitated, and shaped the British-Atlantic empire in the era ofwar, revolution, counter-revolution, and upheaval between the beginning of theSeven Years War and the end of the conflict with Napoleonic France.Contributions question the limits – conceptually and geographically – of thatAtlantic world, suggesting that, by considering the Royal Navy and the BritishAtlantic together, we can gain greater insights into Britain’s maritimehistory.

Описание: During the War of 1812, Edward Nicolls of the Royal Marines armed ex-slaves, Red Sticks, and Seminoles to fight alongside the British from a fort erected at Prospect Bluff in the Florida panhandle. This so-called Negro Fort became the largest maroon community ever to emerge in North America. Fervently opposed to slavery, Nicolls galvanized the Prospect Bluff allies with his radical anti-slavery ideology and the promise of freedom, asserting their rights and privileges equal to those of any British subject. At war’s end, Nicolls remained at Prospect Bluff, petitioning American officials to respect the territorial sovereignty of his Indian allies. When diplomacy failed, Nicolls left the fort to his black army of radicalized British subjects and encouraged it to defend the territory against all threats. What developed was a well-organized community that regarded itself as an independent British polity.Nathaniel Millett examines how the Prospect Bluff maroons constructed their freedom, shedding light on the extent and limits of their physical and intellectual fight to claim their rights. He compares their settlement extensively with maroon communities across the Americas, emphasizing the rare opportunity offered by Prospect Bluff to examine black consciousness during the era of slavery.
