The Fisherman’s Cause: Atlantic Commerce and Maritime Dimensions of the American Revolution
The Fisherman’s Cause argues that the North Atlantic cod fishery was a major source of revolutionary conflict. Christopher P. Magra traces New England fishermen, merchants, maritime labor, and British regulation to explain how commercial restrictions radicalized coastal communities. By connecting everyday work at sea to imperial policy, the book reveals maritime commerce as a driving force behind independence.
