Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article analyzes the portrayal of the imagined Jew and the imagined Scot in the political imagination of the Thirteen Colonies. Both groups, sharing similarities in migration patterns, were utilized to compose early concepts of American identity against the canvas of British cultural dominance. The article describes how the imagined Jew supported navigating religious differences, while the imagined Scot contributed to negotiating the complex legacy of British legal and cultural influence in the North American sphere.
