The concluding chapter summarizes the decline of blockade-running through Nassau. The argument of this thesis is that blockade-running through Nassau produced a tremendous increase in trade, with consequent increases in the price of consumer goods, in wages, and in the crime rate. With the decline of blockade-running, prices of commodities, wages, and the crime rate reverted to pre-Civil War conditions.

By tracing the direct line of influence, using old, colonial structures these mistakes can be rectified. The loyalists managed to reshape the Bahamian...
Show moreThe architecture of the Bahamas was affected by the influx of fleeing American loyalists to that country in the late 1700s. They imported the Georgian style of architecture to the Bahamas popular in southern America's colonial towns. Fallacies over the exact nature of many Bahamian structures have dominated many discourses on this subject. By tracing the direct line of influence, using old, colonial structures these mistakes can be rectified. The loyalists managed to reshape the Bahamian capital of Nassau and develop many of the small Out Islands. Although their influence lasted only a short while, the loyalists altered the nature of the identity of the Bahamian people.
