		The peopling of British North America was an extension outward and an expansion in scale of domestic mobility in the lands of the immigrants' origins, and the transatlantic flow must be understood within the context of these domestic mobility patterns.
		All in all, Bailyn presents a good account of British immigration to the colonies in the eve of the Revolution, but the emphasis on 1760 as a takeoff point for immigration is surely unsound....

		It was an America that was considerably different from the urbane European world from which it came, and equally so from the industrial nation that it would become.
		Other historians, in opposition to the economic interpretations of the Revolution and the drive for independence, had made the point that the American revolutionaries in 1776 were men of deep principle.
		The Peopling of British North America and Voyagers to the West developed out of Bailyn's interest in the distance and suspicion that grew between American colonists and their British colonial rulers.

	18th Century Migration, etc. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Bernard Bailyn's book The Peopling of British North America, is, as its title implicates, an account of the westward migration of hundreds of thousands people from all over Northern Europe (and later Africa, among other nations) to the new England in North America from the early seventeenth century on.
		These were people who, though often poor and unskilled, sought employment in the new land, and paid for their fare by serving four years of intensive labor as servants after their arrival.
		Bailyn's study shows that the majority of people (6 to 1 to be exact) coming from England, Ireland, as well as other areas, were males between the ages 18 and 25 looking for work.

		The Peopling of British North America by Bernard Bailyn

	Declaration Foundation: Restoring America
		From very early on, Americans were involved in the North Atlantic economy, had a reputation for their attention to the main chance, and were known to have celebrated, rather than lamented, the moral and material rewards of commerce.
		Europe may at last be going its separate way from North and South America, or alternatively, all may be joining into a larger global order, but for him the 17th and 18th centuries are the very apogee of Atlantic civilization.
		The work has the feel of his introductory volume, The Peopling of North America, but it does not explicitly announce itself as anything other than an exposition of "a very large subject now coming into focus." That said, it is easy to see how the new focus builds on everything Bailyn has done before.

	The People of British America, 1700-1750
		North of the Rio Grande, the British colonial population of 2.5 million eclipsed the number of native peoples (about 800,000 in 1776) and the small enclaves of French (about 75,000) and Spanish (25,000).
		Within British America, that acculturation varied considerably by region, with the greatest assimilation in the northern colonies, where Africans were a minority, and the least in the southern, especially the West Indies, where slaves were the majority.
		In 1780 the fl population in British America was less than half the total number of African emigrants received during the preceding century, while the white population exceeded its emigrant source by 3:1, thanks especially to the healthy conditions in New England and the Middle Colonies.

	American Revolution - American Revolution Essays - Rediscovering Britain by Susan Lindsey Lively
		Although emigration to the colonies continued to be an important factor in the rapid growth of North America throughout the eighteenth century, after 1700 the birth-rate was by far the most significant element in the spectacular rise in population among white colonists.
		As much as the majority of the people who populated the North American colonies identified with the mother country, however, the British saw the colonists as strange and primitive.
		As contact and conflict increased between the colonists and the British over the course of the 1760s and 70s, the once willing, even enthusiastic, subjects of the first British empire became convinced that they had more in common with each other than they did with their brethren on the other side of Atlantic.

		The drama of people struggling with the conditions that confine them through the cycles of limited life spans is the heart of all living history, and the development of that drama itself, not a metahistorical scheme of classifying events, must provide the framework for any effective interpretation of history.
		An explanation of the population history of British North America in the preindustrial period also involves the depiction of a Central European system concentrated in the upper Rhineland but spreading out northeast to the Danish border, east to Bohemia, and southeast through the Danubian basin to southern Russia.
		Obviously what people did was related to what they carried about in their heads: their feelings, their attitudes, their construction of reality.

	Review of Bernard Bailyn's The Peopling of British North America : An Introduction - BrothersJudd.com
		It makes perfect sense that the movement of peoples to North America would be in part an outgrowth of general patterns of mobility in Europe, that later immigrant waves would be attracted by jobs and land and that North American culture would reflect it's European heritage.
		The imbalance in early America, in favor of freedom with no regard for security, must have influenced precisely what types of people were willing to come and take on the forbidding wilderness and it must have had a profound effect on the type of culture that they developed here.

		Relying on a British emigration register, 1773-76, and myriad "ancillary sources," Bailyn's is a masterful treatment of the "human meaning" of the transatlantic migration.
		Part of a multivolume study that began with The Peopling of British North America: an introduction (LJ 8/86), this is very highly recommended for most libraries.
		Voyagers to the West instead focuses on people as they struggle through trial and tribulation to acheive a goal that is never deemed to be necessarily "American," but is still something special as anyone who has ever desired something can relate to.
