DESCRIPTION:“Mercifully interpose\, O Lord\, on behalf of the people of 
 Britain\, and all the rest of Europe: still the rage of war among the nati
 ons\, and put a stop to the effusion of Christian blood”\n\n- Reverend W
 illiam Currie\, Philadelphia\, 1748.\n\n\nHistorians of British America's 
 role in the global wars of the mid-eighteenth century have traditionally p
 ortrayed an insular society\, primarily concerned with the expansion of fa
 ith and trade in the American backcountry\, which saw in the wider world n
 othing much more complex than a Manichean struggle between Protestant and 
 Catholic interests\, preceding an imminent apocalypse. Their horizons were
  actually much broader and their world-view vastly more sophisticated. Fai
 lure to take this into account has significantly distorted colonial Americ
 an history in the period immediately prior to the Revolution.
