From the Paper:

"Bailyn proposes many facts in his work. First and foremost, Bailyn assumes that the peopling of British North America was nothing more than an extension and expansion of "domestic mobility in the lands of the immigrants origins", suggesting to the reader that they interpret the habitation of the North American content within the context of domestic mobility patterns (Judd 1). Bailyn also asserts that the development of the North American continent introduced a new force in history that "permanently altered the traditional configuration" prominent for years among European settlers (Judd 1)."
