Conquest displaced the Spanish colony and its subjects, some of who fled into the mountainous interior of Jamaica and assumed lives in isolation. This project reconstructs the historical experiences of the “negro” populations of Spanish and English Jamaica, which included its “free black”, “mulattoes”, indigenous peoples, and others, and examines how English cosmopolitanism and distinct interactions laid the groundwork for and informed the syncretic identities and communities that emerged decades later. Upon the framework of English conquest within the West Indies, I explore the experiences of one such settlement alongside the early English colony of Jamaica to understand how a formal relationship materialized between the entities and how its course inflected the distinct socio-political identity and emergent political agency embodied by the Jamaican Maroons.

  • Hand-List of the Legh of Booths Charters in the John Rylands Library

KEEPER OF MANUSCRIPTS AND ASSISTANT LIBRARIAN IN THE JOHN RYLANDS LIBRARY. documents listed below relate to the old Cheshire A family of Legh of Norbury Booths Hall, near Knutsford, and its estates from the late thirteenth to the early nineteenth century. They were saved from destruction 1 last century by the antiquary Richard Henry Wood (1820-1908), a scholar associated for many years with local history studies in Cheshire and Lancashire, and now form part of the large and important manuscript collection which he brought together from many sources. A general survey of this collection, which was deposited in the Library in 1940 by Captain J. Hatton Wood, has been given elsewhere,2 and it is perhaps sufficient here to notice that, in addition to the Legh charters, it is rich in monastic documents (twelfth-fifteenth century) and rare seals,3 and contains several royal grants (the earliest dating from the reign of Henry I), as well as a considerable number of miscellaneous deeds, mostly pre-1500, relating to some twenty-five counties. The Cheshire element of the Hatton Wood MSS., excluding the Legh charters, is comparatively small, numbering only thirty-six documents. Certain of these, however, are worthy of note, among them being eight thirteenth-century charters of the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, five leases (1562-1647) from the Master and Brethren of the Hospital of St. John without the North Gate, Chester, a letter from Burghley to Edmund Gammell, late Mayor of Chester (Oct.

  • The Western Design
    The Western Design When: 1654-1655 Combatants: England vs Spain Reasons: Protectorate England wishing to challenge Spanish power, religious motivations Other names: The Anglo-Spanish War Key battles and places: Hispaniola, Jamaica The earliest involvement of the professional British Army in the Caribbean came in the middle of the seventeenth century, when it was still solely the English Army. Oliver Cromwell, ruling England as Lord Protector of the Commonwealth, opted to challenge the greatest power in the Western World, Spain. The Spanish-American colonies in the Caribbean and in Central and South America had provided Spain with great wealth and it continued to be the dominant power in the New World. England, by this time, had a few Caribbean Colonies of its own, including Barbados, St. Christopher (St. Kitts), Nevis, Antigua and Anguilla. In June 1654, planning and preparation began in secret for a great military expedition to the Americas. The secrecy was such that it became known by the nebulous name of the ‘Western Design’. The exact motives for the expedition continue to be debated by historians and there are likely to be many contributing factors to the decision. Cromwell and his ministers could have been influenced by the economic advantages that the American colonies had afforded Spain, or wished to protect English trading vessels, which the Spanish frequently attacked. Religious motivations can also not be discounted; Cromwell himself, many leading figures of the Protectorate and a large number in England were ardent Protestant Christians, opposed to Roman Catholicism as practised in Spain and spread by them in the New World.

  • The Unfree Origins of English Empire-Building in the Seventeenth Century Atlantic
    Chapter 5 The Unfree Origins of English Empire-Building in the Seventeenth Century Atlantic John Donoghue Weighing his country’s prospects for empire in 1654, Thomas Scot declared that the people of England were poised to become “masters of the whole world.”1 Although certainly grandiose, Scot’s boast was nonetheless grounded in a less- encompassing reality. As a leading Parliamentarian, Scot had borne witness to how the English Revolution had transformed England from a monarchy to a republic that had dedicated itself to imperial expansion. Although historians will always disagree about the empire’s chronological origins, many would concur that the 1649–1654 era marked a critical point in the empire’s emergence. During this period, the revolutionary state had conquered and colonized Catholic Ireland, vanquished the Dutch in a naval war, and launched two transatlantic expeditions to bring oscillating colonies more firmly into the imperial orbit. At the same time, Parliamentary legislation laid the legal foundations for what would become a prosperous empire. Indeed, at the end of 1654, the year Scot made his enthusiastic declaration about England’s imperial potential, the state mobilized a transatlantic armada consisting of 42 ships and 13,490 men to con- quer and colonize Spanish Hispaniola. Although the expedition failed in that attempt, it did conquer Jamaica, creating an English colony out of a former Spanish possession where profits from sugar, extracted from the labor of slaves, would make it one of the richest dominions in the imperial realm.2 Scot’s brag- gadocio, in sum, was a commentary on the English state’s first, concerted foray into empire-building in the Atlantic world.

  • 298 Carla Gardina Pestana Carla Pestana's Impressive Study of the Expedition Oliver Cromwell Sent to the West Indies in 1655 R
    298 Book Reviews Carla Gardina Pestana, The English Conquest of Jamaica: Oliver Cromwell’s Bid for Empire. Cambridge MA: Harvard University Press, 2017. xii + 362 pp. (Cloth US$35.00) Carla Pestana’s impressive study of the expedition Oliver Cromwell sent to the West Indies in 1655 reconsiders it as a transition in English colonial policymak- ing, a venture aiming to attack an existing Spanish colony and then take it over rather than a raid or an attempt to establish a new colony in an unsettled ter- ritory. The expedition captured Jamaica, but only after being repulsed when it tried to repeat one of Sir Francis Drake’s exploits and seize Hispaniola. Within two months of Jamaica’s Spanish governor signing harsh surrender terms and being shipped off, to die en route to Campeche, the expedition’s joint comman- ders, Admiral William Penn and General Robert Venables, both departed. The force remaining in Jamaica went from being the tip of the spear to a sideshow after the Design’s planned limited assault on Spain’s Empire “Beyond the Line” provoked a declaration of war by Spain. Cromwell and his councilors’ attention increasingly focused on sustaining a naval blockade in the eastern Atlantic and then a land campaign in Flanders—all to be funded without the treasure the Western Design was intended to deliver. The dispirited troops left in Jamaica faced a guerrilla campaign undertaken by some of the island’s Spanish settlers who had ignored their governor’s sur- render and subsequently opened an alliance with some of their former slaves.

    RADICAL REPUBLICANISM IN ENGLAND, AMERICA, AND THE IMPERIAL ATLANTIC, 1624-1661 by John Donoghue B.A., Westminster College, New Wilmington, PA, 1993 M.A., University of Pittsburgh, 1999 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2006 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Faculty of Arts and Sciences This dissertation was presented by John Donoghue It was defended on December 2, 2005 and approved by William Fusfield, Associate Professor, Department of Communication Janelle Greenberg, Professor, Department of History Jonathan Scott, Professor, Department of History Dissertation Director: Marcus Rediker, Professor, Department of History ii Copyright by John Donoghue 2006 iii RADICAL REPUBLICANISM IN ENGLAND, AMERICA, AND THE IMPERIAL ATLANTIC, 1624-1661 John Donoghue, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, April 30, 2006 This dissertation links the radical politics of the English Revolution to the history of puritan New England. It argues that antinomians, by rejecting traditional concepts of social authority, created divisive political factions within the godly party while it waged war against King Charles I. At the same time in New England, antinomians organized a political movement that called for a democratic commonwealth to limit the power of ministers and magistrates in religious and civil affairs. When this program collapsed in Massachusetts, hundreds of colonists returned to an Old England engulfed by civil war. Joining English antinomians, they became lay preachers in London, New Model Army soldiers, and influential supporters of the republican Levellers. This dissertation also connects the study of republican political thought to the labor history of the first British Empire.

I have seen the map which the discoverer has made, who is another Genoese like Columbus [Giovanni Caboto/John Cabot], and who has been in Seville and in Lisbon asking assistance for his discoveries. The people of Bristol have, for the last seven years, sent out every year two, three, or Library of Congress four light ships, in search of the island of Brazil and the seven cities [of Cibola], according to the fancy of this Genoese . I have seen on a chart the direction which they took and the distance they sailed, and I think that what they have found, or what they are in search of, is what Your Highnesses already possess. I write this because the King of England has often spoken to me on this subject, and he thinks that Your Highnesses will take great interest in it.

  • Enlightened Institutions: Science, Plantations, and Slavery in the English Atlantic, 1626-1700
    Enlightened Institutions: Science, Plantations, and Slavery in the English Atlantic, 1626-1700 A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Minnesota By Eric Otremba In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Adviser: Kirsten Fischer August, 2012 Copyright Eric Otremba, 2012 Acknowledgements A friend once told me that a dissertation is nothing if not act of endurance. After almost nine years of graduate school I’ve accrued many debts to people and institutions along the way. These go all the way back to the faculty at Marquette University, and especially Dr. Kristin Foster, who was instrumental in convincing me to pursue my ambitions at the doctoral level. At the University of Minnesota I have likewise been blessed with an array of skillful and supportive mentors, including my adviser Dr. Kirsten Fischer and the rest of my committee: Dr. J.B. Shank, Dr. Russell Menard, Dr. Michael Gaudio, and Dr. Jennifer Alexander. My dissertation draws from a variety of disciplines and academic niches, and I am lucky to have a committee with such broad viewpoints and strengths. Each has helped expand my work in different directions, and in many ways I consider this project a hybrid of their interests and skillets. While not on my committee I must also thank Dr. Thomas Wolfe, whose highly original dissertation seminar is where many of my project’s ideas initially began to congeal. The University of Minnesota is also home to several organizations to which I am intellectually and financially indebted. The Graduate School, the History Department, and the Center for Early Modern History have all provided me with the financial support necessary to complete this work.
