""The American Colonies in the Eighteenth Century"" is a two-volume historical work by Herbert L. Osgood that explores the political, social, and economic developments of the thirteen British colonies in North America during the 1700s. This second volume covers the period from 1701 to 1763, a time of great change and growth in the colonies. Osgood examines the impact of the French and Indian War, the rise of colonial assemblies and political parties, the growth of the slave trade, and the increasing tensions between the colonies and Great Britain. The book draws on a wide range of primary sources, including colonial records, correspondence, and official documents, to provide a detailed and nuanced account of the period. It is considered a seminal work in the field of colonial history and is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the origins of the American Revolution.In Four Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
