"Achenwall's Observations on North America" by Gottfried Achenwall is a historical account written in the late 18th century, specifically in 1767. This book presents an analysis of North America and its British colonies, encapsulating various aspects such as the geography, climate, inhabitants, economy, and governance. The observations are based on verbal information shared by the famed American polymath Benjamin Franklin, illustrating the impressions made on German academics during this period. The book delves into the details of North American settlements, the lifestyle of native populations, and the growth of the colonies contrasted with the Caribbean. Achenwall discusses the agricultural practices, the demographics of settlers, and their economic activities, stressing how the colonies surpassed population growth compared to the West Indies. He also examines the different forms of governance in the colonies, highlighting their political structures and legal frameworks. The analysis underscores not only the development of these territories but also the interactions between European settlers and Indigenous peoples, the impact of commerce, and the social dynamics within the colonies, offering readers a comprehensive view of life in North America during this era.
