About this ebook

"Whosoever commands the sea commands the trade; whosoever commands the trade of the world commands the riches of the world, and consequently the world itself." This sentiment was first voiced by English explorer Sir Walter Raleigh, but for the British, it was a lesson that came at a great human and economic cost. Here, in this essay, is the story of how England struggled to settle the New World.
