The Nova Scotia Planters in the Atlantic World, 1759-1830
Synopsis
The early Maritime Provinces were at the centre of a struggle for supremacy in the Atlantic World – “ground zero in the battle of North America,” writes Jerry Banister of Dalhousie University. This is the latest in our classic series of Planter Studies on the social, economic, and cultural history of the region, reflecting the influence of the new “Atlantic World” scholarship while exploring the community structures, economies, loyalties, and religions of Planter Nova Scotia.
