The French in Quebec established a somewhat reluctant alliance with the Illinois Indians while Jesuits and fur traders planted defiant outposts in the Illinois River Valley beyond the Great Lakes. These autonomous early settlements were brought into the French empire only after the fact. As the colony grew, the authority that governed the region was often uncertain. Canada and Louisiana alternately claimed control over the Illinois throughout the eighteenth century. Later, British and Spanish authorities tried to divide the region along the Mississippi River. Yet Illinois settlers and Native people continued to welcome and partner with European governments, even if that meant playing the competing empires against one another in order to pursue local interests. Empire by Collaboration explores the remarkable community and distinctive creole culture of colonial Illinois Country, characterized by compromise and flexibility rather than domination and resistance. Drawing on extensive archival research, Robert Michael Morrissey demonstrates how Natives, officials, traders, farmers, religious leaders, and slaves constantly negotiated local and imperial priorities and worked purposefully together to achieve their goals. Their pragmatic intercultural collaboration gave rise to new economies, new forms of social life, and new forms of political engagement. Empire by Collaboration shows that this rugged outpost on the fringe of empire bears central importance to the evolution of early America."--Publisher's description. 000858583 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000858583 61020 $$aJesuits$$xMissions$$zIllinois. 000858583 650_0 $$aIndians of North America$$zIllinois$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000858583 650_0 $$aIndians of North America$$zIllinois$$xHistory$$y18th century. 000858583 651_0 $$aIllinois$$xColonization$$xHistory. 000858583 651_0 $$aFrance$$xColonies$$xAdministration. 000858583 651_0 $$aGreat Britain$$xColonies$$xAdministration. 000858583 651_0 $$aIllinois$$xCivilization$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000858583 651_0 $$aIllinois$$xCivilization$$xHistory$$y18th century. 000858583 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMorrissey, Robert Michael.$$tEmpire by collaboration.$$dPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania : University of Pennsylvania Press, ©2015$$z9780812246995$$w(DLC) 2014032473 000858583 830_0 $$aEarly American studies. 000858583 852__ $$bcoll 000858583 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000858583 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3442501$$zOnline Access 000858583 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:858583$$pGLOBAL_SET 000858583 980__ $$aBIB 000858583 983__ $$aOnline
