  • Puritans and Slavery

    Carla Gardina PestanaCHAPTERThe Oxford Handbook of Puritanism2026

    English people of all religious orientations agreed with the broad European consensus that slavery was justified under certain circumstances. Engagement in the institution of slavery in the Atlantic world provided opportunities to rethink the legitimacy of the institution (even as Atlantic conditions contributed to a particularly brutal form of the practice), but these opportunities were largely ignored. Those Protestant-labeled “puritans” accept…

  • Atlantic Mobilities and the Defiance of the Early Quakers

    Carla Gardina PestanaARTICLEJournal of Early Modern History2023

    By the mid-1650s, the Quakers participated in an astounding campaign to spread the news of their movement. Bent on convincing everyone, they traveled through Europe, the Mediterranean, and the English Atlantic colonies. This missionary campaign was unusual in that individual converts made the decision to travel of their own accord and they did so extensively for over a decade. This travel was unstructured, even chaotic, and yet it had a major imp…

  • Quakers in the British Atlantic World, c.1660–1800, by Esther Sahle

    Open AccessCarla Gardina PestanaARTICLEThe English Historical Review2022

    This work by Esther Sahle does not offer an overview of the Quakers in the British Atlantic, as its title seems to suggest. Rather, its declared purpose is to pursue the question of whether the Society of Friends enjoyed a stellar reputation for honest business dealings that bolstered members’ commercial success. Along the way, it explores the mid-century Quaker Reformation, including areas of reform only tangentially related to its main query. M…

  • Charles I's Killers in America

    Open AccessCarla Gardina PestanaARTICLEJournal of American History2022Citada por: 1

    In 1660, with Charles II posed to return to England to take his late father's position as king of England, Scotland, and Ireland, the two men who signed Charles I's death warrant, William Goffe and Edward Whalley, sailed for Massachusetts Bay Colony. In New England, these regicides were feted, housed, and—once the newly restored monarchy sought to track them down—hidden from Crown officers. They lived out their lives in hiding in New Haven, Conne…

    The first volume of The Cambridge History of America and the World examines how the United States emerged out of a series of colonial interactions, some involving indigenous empires and communities that were already present when the first Europeans reached the Americas, others the adventurers and settlers dispatched by Europe's imperial powers to secure their American claims, and still others men and women brought as slaves or indentured servants…

  • For God, King, and People

    Open AccessCarla Gardina PestanaARTICLEThe English Historical Review2018

    Alexander B. Haskell’s book offers an intellectual history of the ideas circulating around the planting of English Virginia. The work begins with Sir Walter Raleigh’s The History of the World which, Haskell argues, advocated colonisation as a divine dictate that created scattered commonwealths which enhanced royal dominion (and true religion) throughout the world. The heart of the book is a long rumination on the fate of this conceptualisation in…

  • The English Conquest of Jamaica

    Carla Gardina PestanaBOOKEnglish Conquest of Jamaica2017

    In 1654, England's Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell conceived a plan of breathtaking ambition: the conquest of Spain's vast American empire. As the first phase of his Western Design, a large expedition sailed to the West Indies, under secret orders to take Spanish colonies. The English Conquest of Jamaica presents entrenched imperial fantasies confronting Caribbean realities. It captures the moment when the revolutionary English state first became …

    Edward Doyley led English Jamaica for most of its first decade. Sent as part of a military force intent on conquering the island, he rose to a position of command in the army as a result of his survival and seniority. Eventually he took charge of the navy and civilian affairs as well. Wielding theoretically vast powers he lacked official authorization from any central authority for much of his tenure. His correspondence requesting support for the…

  • The Missionary Impulse in the Atlantic World, 1500-1800

    Carla Gardina PestanaARTICLESocial Sciences and Missions2013Referencias: 1

    Advocates of European expansion often justified their acquisition of territories in terms of the imperative to spread Christianity to non-believers. While Iberian Catholics converted large numbers of native Americans and later Africans imported as slaves within their New World colonies, Protestant colonizers were relatively slow to embrace the missionary imperative. This essay seeks to explain why that was the case, and to do so by considering do…
