For early American historians this has involved consideration of how the Atlantic world connected and affected societies in early modern Europe, Africa, and the Americas. The essay argues that there was not one but rather many different Atlantic worlds, shaped by the position, experiences, and perspective of each individual. Using the example of three Africans who found themselves in late-eighteenth-century Scotland, the essay illustrates how these different Atlantics – not just African, North American and European, but also religion, economic, and ideological – can be traced and unraveled in individual lives. Cet article explore la manière avec laquelle les historiens en sont arrivés à dépasser les histoires nationales en adoptant des approches transnationales. Les historiens de l’Amérique coloniale ont dû pour cela considérer comment le monde atlantique avait connecté et affecté les sociétés de l’Europe, de l’Afrique et des Amériques à l’époque moderne. L’article défend l’idée qu’il n’existait pas un seul, mais plusieurs mondes atlantiques différents, façonnés par la position, les expériences et la perspective de chaque individu. En utilisant l’exemple de trois Africains qui se sont retrouvés en Écosse au XVIIIe siècle, l’article illustre comment ces Atlantiques différents – pas seulement africain, nord-américain et européen, mais aussi religieux, économique et idéologique – peuvent être retrouvés et démêlés dans les parcours de vie individuels.

description	This essay explores how historians have come to move beyond national histories with transnational approaches. For early American historians this has involved consideration of how the Atlantic world connected and affected societies in early modern Europe, Africa, and the Americas. The essay argues that there was not one but rather many different Atlantic worlds, shaped by the position, experiences, and perspective of each individual. Using the example of three Africans who found themselves in late-eighteenth-century Scotland, the essay illustrates how these different Atlantics – not just African, North American and European, but also religion, economic, and ideological – can be traced and unraveled in individual lives.
