Journal of Early American History

Aims & Scope

The early modern colonization of the Americas ranks among the most influential developments that shaped the modern world.

Between the initial exploratory European contacts with the Americas in the late fifteenth century and the eventual independence of American states from Europe lies the multifaceted development of small communities into large colonies, which drew upon their European inheritance and their New World experience and interaction with non-European cultures and societies to form distinctive cultures and identities.
