England was ready. Of all the nations in Europe, 17th-century England was most peculiarly suited to succeed in peopling the North American continent.

This was a strange turn of events. England had been the very last of the Western powers to show any kind of interest in the world beyond Europe. Three hundred years before any Englishman ever set out from the British islands in feeble beginnings of such explorations, Portuguese mariners had already sailed around the tip of Africa in search of a new way to the Indies. Before any English ship ever appeared in the Atlantic, Spain already held most of the West Indies in virtual captivity and had subdued rich native empires on the mainland. It was an Italian who had opened this immense territory for Spain, and when Henry VII of England finally made a half-hearted attempt at some part of this New World, it was another Italian, John Cabot, who led the way.

This was a strange turn of events. England had been the very last of the Western powers to show any kind of interest in the world beyond Europe. Three hundred years before any Englishman ever set out from the British islands in feeble beginnings of such explorations, Portuguese mariners had already sailed around the tip of Africa in search of a new way to the Indies. Before any English ship ever appeared in the Atlantic, Spain already held most of the West Indies in virtual captivity and had subdued rich native empires on the mainland. It was an Italian who had opened this immense territory for Spain, and when Henry VII of England finally made a half-hearted attempt at some part of this New World, it was another Italian, John Cabot, who led the way. Even France, against all odds, had made at least a few stabs at Canada. And before any Englishman ever found his way to the Indian Ocean, ambitious Dutch seamen had already sailed from their tiny homeland, visited a hundred Indian ports, established trading posts there and laid the foundations of a commercial empire.
Yet once they got started, the English were destined to succeed in the most spectacular way.

England was ready.

So begins The Colonies, Volume Two of My Father's America, written by Walter Lorenz. This detailed and comprehensive book picks up where Volume One left off. The defeat of the Spanish Armada at the hands of the rising British Empire opened the door to the greatest flow of humanity the world had ever known. Far from being the romanticised version of people seeking a better life in a new and distant land, this was strictly business from the start. But once the foundations were set, there was no stopping the multitudes of people seeking to escape poverty and despair, religious persecution or just a simple thought of a better life. The beginning of the American Dream.

All aspects of colonial life are covered, from laws and early government, crime and punishment, illness and medical care, roads and transportation, architecture and living conditions, crops and livestock and so much more. Endless struggles within the colonies, with the mother country, with New France and with the native population highlight how the lines were drawn that formed the original thirteen colonies. And once drawn, the book ends with a look into the thoughts of independence that spark the desire for revolution.
