Emigration To North  America 1707-1783
Volume  totaling
223
pages. Per the publisher;
This distinguished monograph, published originally by the Cornell  University Press, is a treatise on the causes and character of Scottish  emigration to North America prior to the American Revolution. Entire chapters  are then devoted to Lowland and Highland emigration, forced transportation of  felons and the drafting of Scottish troops to the colonies, rising rents and  other factors in the Scottish social structure, and the British government’s  role in colonization. Three concluding chapters cover the geographical centers  of Scottish settlement–especially the Carolinas, the formation of a Scottish  merchant class, the role of the Society of Saint Andrews among  Scottish-Americans, and the political conservatism or Toryism of many Scottish  settlers during the American Revolution.
