A non-fiction account of the real reasons why the American Revolution started over one hundred years before 1776. While many historians believe that the British Proclamation and the Quartering Act of 1763, the Sugar Act of 1764, and the Stamp Act of 1765 enacted by the British led to colonial resistance to Bristish rule with the Boston Tea party of 1773 and the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the author presents material to show that the desire for independence by Americans began as early as 1676 with Bacon's Rebellion and possibly before that when the Virginia government was organized in 1679.

This book explores the development of the fur trade in Chesapeake Bay during the seventeenth century, and the wide-ranging links that were formed in a new and extensive transatlantic chain of supply and consumption. It considers changing fashion in England, the growing demand for fur, at a time when the Russian fur trade was in decline, examines native North Americans and their trading and other exchanges with colonists, and explores the nature of colonial society, including the commercial ambitions of a varied range of investors. As such, it outlines the intense rivalry which existed between different colonies and colonial interests. Although the book argues that fur never supplanted tobacco as the region's principal export, noting that the trade declined as new, more profitable sources of supply were opened up, nevertheless the case of the Chesapeake fur trade provides an excellent example of how different elements in a new transatlantic enterprise fitted together and had a profound impact on each other.
