New England Bound

Wendy Warren's audiobook challenges traditional narratives by exploring how slavery was intricately connected to the early English colonization of New England, broadening the scope beyond Southern colonies and the Caribbean. Drawing on extensive research, she demonstrates how the growth of northern colonies was fueled by the Atlantic slave trade and colonial investments in the West Indies. The book reveals the deep economic and social ties between New England families and the Atlantic world, shedding light on the complex and often tragic history of the region's early development.
