  • A Revolution in Eating: How the Quest for Food Shaped America

    Paul G E ClemensARTICLEJournal of American History2006Cited by: 2

    James E. McWilliams's goal in A Revolution in Eating is to discover not just what colonial Americans ate, but why they ate what they did. He hopes to recover a story that will inspire people who today want a food culture distinguished by “sustainability, slow food, and greater intimacy with what we eat” (p. 5). In style and substance the book is aimed at both scholars and the general public, as the dust jacket blurbs—one from the vice president o…

  • Before Cotton and Other than Sugar: How Tobacco and Rice Shaped the World of Eighteenth-Century Slaves in British North America

    Paul G E ClemensARTICLEReviews in American History1999References: 1

    About halfway through Philip D. Morgan's lengthy, comparative study of slavery in the eighteenth-century Lowcountry and Chesapeake, the author recounts David George's testimony of the violence inflicted on his family as slaves in Surry County Virginia: After he [George's brother] had received 500 lashes or more [for running away], they washed his back with salt water, and whipped it in, as well as rubbed it with a rag, and then directly sent him …

  • The World of Maurice Thomson

    Paul G E Clemens, Robert BrennerARTICLEReviews in American History1993

    Who was Maurice Thomson? Arguably the most significant English colonial merchant of the early seventeenth century, Thomson plays no part in such pioneering accounts of the commercial development of England's Atlantic empire as Wesley Frank Craven's The Southern Colonies in the Seventeenth Century, 1607-1689 (1949) or Bernard Bailyn's New England Merchants in the Seventeenth Century (1955).1 Thomson apparently left no diary, account books, or othe…

  • A Revolution of Scale in Overseas Trade: British Firms in the Chesapeake Trade, 1675-1775

    Open AccessJacob M Price, Paul G E ClemensARTICLEThe Journal of Economic History1987Cited by: 8References: 10

    In seventeenth-century England the relatively open trades to America attracted ventures by hundreds of small merchants and shopkeepers. This ease of entry was checked after 1685 by very high customs duties on tobacco and intense regulation. Between 1685 and 1775 the number of firms in that trade was radically reduced and the size of the average firm increased ten to thirtyfold. Comparable if less extreme trends can be detected in the sugar, slave…
