"'Yankey dodle will do verry well here': New England Traders in the Caribbean, 1713 to circa 1812" investigates the economic activities and personal connections of New England merchants and factors in the Caribbean before, during, and after the American Revolution, exploring the continuity as well as attenuation and breakdown of New Englanders' ties in the region. No studies of New England's West Indies trade systematically examine American merchant-sojourners in the Antilles during and after the Revolution, despite the trade's continued significance. This dissertation synthesizes scholarly and historical material for the colonial, revolutionary, and early republican periods and provides an important historiographical bridge across the American Revolutionary divide.

520 $a New England's trade in northern food and supplies for tropical produce was crucial to its economic development and played an important part in the lives of many northern merchants and mariners. Yet, while scholars of this branch of maritime commerce have revealed a great deal about its overall character and organization, they have offered comparatively little about the social resources and strategies that individual traders and mariners deployed, or about the career opportunities and difficulties encountered in the Antilles. This oversight is especially true of those traders who sojourned in the islands, whether on their own account or as agents of mainland merchants. Based on extensive research in merchants' papers and customs and government records, the present dissertation addresses this subject and delineates the business and family networks of New England traders in the Caribbean. Through an examination of inter-regional family ties, the role of American-owned Caribbean plantations, and the resources of ship captains and island agents, this study discusses the character of New Englanders' trade strategies from Queen Anne's War to The War of 1812. Close study of Caribbean traders such as the Savage, Cary, Fitch, and Jarvis families of Massachusetts, and the Browns of Rhode Island, illuminate the opportunities and problems they encountered in the Antilles, revealing the kinds of social maneuvering and trans-generational connections they marshaled to influence their trading prospects. Such case studies enhance our understanding of the social dimensions of New England's Caribbean business while providing insightful illustrations of ways early modern trade worked, particularly the porous boundaries between empires and states.
