The Red Queen in New England
OME historical images endure in spite of evidence to the contrary, perhaps because they coincide with scholars' deepest convictions about how things must have been. Despite persistent notions otherwise, colonial New England's economy was flourishing in the eighteenth century. It was not British America's poorest region, and it was not in dire economic straits on the eve of the Revolution.' Landless multitudes were indeed crowding into port cities…

Summary
Economic Growth and the Standard of Living in Southern New England, 1640-1774
This study draws upon a large sample of probated estates from early Connecticut and Massachusetts. It finds that total probate wealth per adult male grew slowly over the colonial period and its growth was confined entirely to real estate. The value of consumption goods per estate fell during the early eighteenth century which raises questions about the impact of economic growth on household life

Standards of Living and the Life Cycle in Colonial Connecticut
Requirements for a subsistence standard of living and for higher levels in the colonial period changed with marital status. A man's income, his personal wealth, his consumption goods, and for farmers their land, had to increase with marriage and as children multiplied, though the old man might end as he began, dependent on other members of the family.

The One Hundred
HE student of early American history can seldom determine the amount of property held by different economic classes. Private individuals did not often keep records which revealed their assets, nor did the governments ordinarily tax so great a variety of the sources of wealth as to furnish the necessary data. Fortunately, the state of Virginia in the I780's levied taxes on some of the most important forms of property, and, happily, the records kep…

Charles A. Beard and the Constitution
I T is a little strange that, when dozens of monographs during twoscore years have profitably used Beard's interpretation of the Constitution, an attempt utterly to refute him has aroused scarcely a whimper of protest. Nobody would insist Beard's thesis be accepted in its entirety, but his fundamental idea-that the Constitution reflected the economic interests of the large property holders who wrote it-has survived much research, and any book whi…

The Antifederalists
The Antifederalists
The Antifederalists come alive in this state-by-state analysis of politics during the Confederation and the debates over the enlargement of congressional powers prior to the formation of the Constitution. On the one side were small and middle-class farmers who subscribed to a libertarian tradition founded in a distrust of power, a preference for local authority, and a concept of private rights that defined liberty against government. On the other…

Social Structure of Revolutionary America
Professor Main's conviction is that an understanding of political history in Colonial America depends on a knowledge of the country's underlying social structure. To provide this he examines different types of societies in revolutionary America between 1763 and 1788: frontier, subsistence farm, commercial farm, urban. He studies in detail the nature of land ownership, distribution of property and income, relations between income levels and cultur…
