The article is a criticism of the article "Entangled Histories: Borderland Historiographies in New Clothes?," by Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra. The author makes a point of examining the broader field of research into the period during which North America was colonized by England and addresses Cañizares-Esguerra's claim that areas controlled by the Spanish were somewhat ignored by the English and also states that the Chesapeake is the area in the U.S. that would most qualify as a "core" to the nation's expansion. The political career of Creek Native American Alexander McGillivray, who worked to gain rights for his people is noted by the author because of his "cultural ambidexterity."
