Rebellion and Savagery examines the Jacobite Rising of 1745 and its aftermath on an imperial scale. The event marked a turning point in the fortunes of the British Empire by creating a new political interest in favor of aggressive imperialism and also by sparking discussion of how the British should promote market-based economic relations in order to integrate indigenous peoples within their empire.
