Book Synopsis The Economic History of Newport Rhode Island by : Kenneth Walsh
Book excerpt: Before the American Revolution, Newport was one of the biggest ports on the eastern seaboard thanks to its religious freedom and lack of effective control by Britain. Its then free-running economy based on international trading would face many challenges and changes over the 18th and 19th centuries.
