Lutherans and Presbyterians, Quakers, Catholics, and Covenentors, the Irish, the German, the French, the Welsh-groups that rarely intermingled in Europe-were thrown together when they confronted the American countryside. Rather than embracing the inescapable and ever-increasing diversity, the European settler communities had their very existence threatened by the tensions and fears among their own groups. Only through \"Indian-hating\"-in both military and rhetorical forms-could the splintered colonists find a common ground.In potent, graceful prose that sensitively unearths the social complexity and tangled history of colonial relations, Peter Silver gives us an astonishingly vivid picture of eighteenth-century America. He straddles cultural history, political history, social history, and ethnohistory to offer groundbreaking insights into the seminal forces that continue to shape the United States today. 15 illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51856280584480,"sku":"NEW0393062481","price":35.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51yfUa6QRbL.jpg?v=1781548780","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/our-savage-neighbors-how-indian-war-transformed-early-america-0393062481","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
