Synopsis

Trace how New England settlers expanded beyond their borders and helped shape communities from coast to frontier.

The Expansion of New England surveys the great movements of people who pushed outward after the early settlements. It tracks how religious and economic motives, plus new lands and charters, spurred waves of migration into New York, the Midwest, and beyond. The book ties together settlement patterns, education, and local government to show how the region’s ideas helped build new states and towns.

Across chapters, you’ll see how frontier life competed with old settlements, how emigration changed the map, and how institutions like town meetings and colleges spread from New England to the wider country. The work combines narrative with maps and case studies to explain why settlers moved, where they went, and what they carried with them.

• Learn how postwar expansion and land speculation opened the western territories to New Englanders.
• See how frontier towns formed, connected by roads, schools, and church life, from Ohio to Wisconsin.
• Explore the role of education and local government in shaping new communities.
• Discover regional differences in coast versus interior settlement and what they meant for later growth.

Ideal for readers interested in American regional history, frontier expansion, and the long reach of New England institutions.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Expansion of New England: The Spread of New England Settlement and Institutions to the Mississippi River; 1620-1865

The present study is an attempt to untangle, from the complex skein of our national history, the one strand of the New England element. In attempting to set forth clearly and convincingly one phase of our development, it may seem that a loss of proportion and of perspective has resulted. The study makes no pretensions to being either complete or exhaustive; but it is sent out with the hope that it may at least suggest some new points of view.

The initial impulse to the work, and much of its spirit, are due to Professor Frederick J.Turner, of the University of Wisconsin. The actual beginnings of the study were made at Leland Stanford Junior University during 1903-04, in a seminar conducted by Professor Max Farrand, now of Yale University. The next stage of development was reached under the guidance of Professor Edward Channing, resulting in the presentation of the study in thesis form in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Radcliffe College. Since that time it has been expanded and almost entirely reconstructed, to be published in its present form. The author has in preparation another study designed to supplement this one, having as its theme New England settlement beyond the Mississippi River, and in the South since 1865.
