Covered is the dynamic nature of Ulster society in the 17th and 18th centuries and the rapid changes occurring there, especially those affecting Presbyterianism and community cohesiveness. Also examined is the experience of migration, asking such questions as who migrated and when, what their expectations were, and how closely colonial reality matched those expectations. Another theme is the development of economic strategies and community-building both in Ulster and North America, making important contributions to the \"\"new rural history\"\" and explaining the success of the Scotch-Irish on the American frontier.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"The University of Alabama Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52570120814872,"sku":"9780817311353","price":24.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/ulster-and-north-america-transatlantic-perspectives-on-the-scotch-irish-paperback-softback-9780817311353","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
