The first generations of European families in North America built their own private empires. In her book, Nicole Maskill argues that slavery played a key role in the formation and development of this emerging aristocracy. They held high office—as mayors, governors, senators, judges, and presidents—and were also among the largest slave owners in the North. Paradoxically, the desire for power and status, based on the political economy of slavery, smoothed over ethnic and religious conflicts. Drawing on research in archives across countries and languages, Maskill traces the origins of these private empires from the founding of the northeastern colonies to the eve of the Revolutionary War.
