This chapter examines the economic effects of war. Heavy taxation and disrupted export trade threatened recession each time war broke out. Coastal traders and fishing boats were vulnerable to raiders, as was agriculture on the Scottish borders and in the English Pale in Ireland. Yet there was another side to the story. Cloth was bought up to clothe soldiers and food to feed them, while arms traders, iron smelters, horse dealers, fortification builders, and English privateers, who attacked foreign shipping in the Channel and Atlantic, all did well. So did the borderers who raided the Scots for their livestock and those who made different varieties of corruption pay.

The early modern period, spanning 1500 to 1800, was a vital one for what became the United States, and families were critical to the colonies that underpinned it. Households determined lines of belonging and governance; they gave status and formed a central source of power for both women and men. They also functioned symbolically: creating metaphors for authority (father-king) as well as actual sources of authority. Colonialism, or the imposition of foreign governing regimes, also shaped families and intimacies. The regulation of domestic life was a central feature of colonial power, even as individual families, both settler and indigenous, breached rules that authorities sought to impose. This chapter considers the importance of lineage and households, as well as the effects of war, epidemics, and slavery. It traces a range of households, Native American, African, and Euro-American, to argue for the central importance of families in shaping colonial North America.
