2015吉林大学考博英语真题阅读理解精练 +GlG.6  
Bernard Bailyn has recently reinterpreted the early history of the /_ RrNzqy  
United States by applying new social research findings on the qM 9> x:V  
experiences of European migrants. In his reinterpretation, migration ^~DClZ  
becomes the organizing principle for rewriting the history of %-O[%Dy  
preindustrial North America. His approach rests on four separate ,K8(D<{  
propositions. @YI- @  
The first of these asserts that residents of early modern England ~IS3i'bh  
moved regularly about their countryside; migrating to the New World p77  
was simply a “natural spillover”. Although at first the colonies tS sDW!!M  
held little positive attraction for the English — they would rather P3+?gW'  
have stayed home — by the eighteenth century people increasingly /F_(&H!m  
migrated to America because they regarded it as the land of 9RnXp&w  
opportunity. Secondly, Bailyn holds that, contrary to the notion that A>Xt 5vk+  
used to flourish in America history textbooks, there was never a jbs)]fqC;  
typical New World community. For example, the economic and g6(u6%MD  
demographic character of early New England towns varied considerably. hC2_Yr>N%  
Bailyn’s third proposition suggest two general patterns $LJCup,1"  
prevailing among the many thousands of migrants: one group came as {PQ!o^7y  
indentured servants, another came to acquire land. Surprisingly, vj+ S  
Bailyn suggests that those who recruited indentured servants were the +^V%D!.$@  
driving forces of transatlantic migration. These colonial '/Ag3R  
entrepreneurs helped determine the social character of people who z|WDqB%/I  
came to preindustrial North America. At first, thousands of unskilled gs9VCaIa  
}8?1)l  
laborers were recruited; by the 1730’s, however, American employers  &&sCaNb  
demanded skilled artisans. Z*M-PaU}  
Finally, Bailyn argues that the colonies were a half-civilized `ILO]+`5  
hinterland of the European culture system. He is undoubtedly correct X.hV MX2B  
to insist that the colonies were part of an Anglo-American empire. 2[TssJQ  
But to divide the empire into English core and colonial periphery, r^$WX@ t&  
as Bailyn does, devalues the achievements of colonial culture. It is UWW_[dJr   
true, as Bailyn claims, that high culture in the colonies never }q<%![%  
matched that in England. But what of seventeenth-century New England, =d`/BDD  
where the settlers created effective laws, built a distinguished .80L>0  
university, and published books? Bailyn might respond that New drEND`,@6|  
England was exceptional. However, the ideas and institutions <o.?T*Q9  
developed by New England Puritans had powerful effects on North dRPX`%J  
American culture. 6/&aBE=  
Although Bailyn goes on to apply his approach to some thousands \ws^L, h  
of indentured servants who migrated just prior to the revolution, he )kuw&SH,  
fails to link their experience with the political development of the XbL\l  
United States. Evidence presented in his work suggests how we might &W:R#/|  
make such a connection. These indentured servants were treated as #+ 6t|  
slaves for the period during which they had sold their time to American Mg}8 3kS  
employers. It is not surprising that as soon as they served their time 4.}J'3 .  
they passed up good wages in the cities and headed west to ensure their TWk1`1|  
personal independence by acquiring land. Thus, it is in the west that $jtXN E?  
a peculiarly American political culture began, among colonists who 2*9rhOK*  
Ij}k>qO/2  
were suspicious of authority and intensely anti-aristocratic. > Vvjs
