I think that there can be a couple of ways to interpret this.  The first would be that on the most literal level, Isabel is chained to the Loyalist home of the Lock tons.  Being Loyalists, this is one nation to which Isabel is physically chained because she is a slave in their home

Explanation:

- "the past is made of multitudinous items ranging from anything that can be collected, recollected or assessed to originate in the past. as such, the past is a gallimaufry of particulars that may not have been related in any way. however, the human mind seeks organization to understand concepts and other things. the human mind therefore seeks relationships in explaining and studying the past. history being a humanity, dictates that historians have to serve this human trait by bringing structure to details of the past. historians do this by creating interpretive frameworks that capture as many details as possible."
