The Sugar Era held dominion in the Atlantic from the sixteenth through the nineteenth century, as European powers realized the lucrativeness of this “white gold.” France was not immune to the sugar economy and sought to establish overseas territories to begin production. The boom of the Sugar Era, however, has eclipsed the crucial role of cod in the shaping and maintaining of the French Atlantic world. In the period following the collapse of Nouvelle-France, the reorganization of the French Atlantic network created a mobile constellational network that distributed cod and interconnected colonies across the Atlantic. This created a dependency that, when studied from an actor-network relationship, was key to the continuation of the French commercial network despite war, violence, and political uncertainty. By reframing the French Atlantic as an intercolonial constellational network, the success of the French reorganization post 1763 is apparent.
