Abstract English, French, Dutch, and Spanish colonists and mariners in the seventeenth‐century understood their positions in the Atlantic world vis‐à‐vis one another. Colonies mirrored international rivalries and depended on their respective imperial countries. But they also depended on one another, cooperating across colonial and imperial borders to ensure their own survival or profit.
