- Abstract
The article explores the role of merchants in Canada during the late-eighteenth and early nineteenth century, focusing particularly on the activities of merchant, ship owner, and sea captain William Roche (1800-1887) of Halifax, Nova Scotia. It discusses trade patterns in goods such as timber, cod, rum, sugar, molasses, and salt between Nova Scotia, the United States, and the West Indies. The impact of the American Revolution, the French Revolution, and the Napoleonic Wars on trade is considered. The abolition of slavery in the Caribbean region and its impact on the production of sugar is discussed.
