In his panoramic view of Britain's mainland American colonies after 1680, Jon Butler reveals a strikingly modern character that belies the eighteenth-century quaintness fixed in history. Multinational, profit-driven, materialistic, politically self-conscious, power-hungry, religiously plural--the colonies in this epoch became a society the earliest colonists never imagined, a new order of the ages that anticipated the American Revolution.
