The British Atlantic Islands in the Age of Revolutions with Ross Nedervelt

The British Atlantic Islands in the Age of Revolutions with Ross Nedervelt

In this episode of Historians & Their Histories, Dr. Ross Nedervelt explores why Bermuda and the Bahamas held strategic significance for the United States during the Age of the American Revolution. He discusses how these islands were exempted from the Continental Congress's 1775 embargo on the British Empire due to their sympathy for the American cause and their supply of arms to the patriots. His research also examines the long-term consequences of these colonies remaining British including their role as fortified bases for impressment operations and as a planning ground for the British during the War of 1812.

Dr. Nedervelt is the recipient of an Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship from the Massachusetts Historical Society, a long-term fellowship sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the MHS, and a New England Regional Fellowship Consortium award.
